At this time, many people were rushing to Imperial City for this so-called opportunity too. The leaders of the major guilds did not attend in person but sent their powerful members instead. “You have to seize this opportunity and challenge your limits at all costs!” “You’ll make a name for yourself if you can reach the fifth floor or above, and the guild will become very powerful too!” “You have to display all your talents and don’t let us down!” The same conversation happened in different guilds. After a thousand years had passed, the previous outstanding members had long been replaced by a new batch. This was the best time for the major guilds to show their muscles. Meanwhile, Rick took this opportunity to reap many resources from the Pill Guild. Although the guild had suffered some losses, the guild leader had many treasures on hand. Rick felt very triumphant after getting these treasures. “That guy is such a fool for believing me so easily, but in that case, I can
Seeing this, Rick had a sudden flash of inspiration. “I’m a member of the guild. Do you know the Pill Guild?” Rick began to brag about his identity. The guards were less hostile after hearing that. They frowned at Rick and said, “You have to leave anyway. Your guild should provide you with a place to live. Don’t stay here.” Rick smiled at their amicable reaction. He knew what he should do to solve this problem. “I have my reasons for staying here, and I don’t take up much space. I hope you can take it easy on me.” At this point, Rick took out a pill and an energy stone, handing them to the captain of the imperial guards. “As a token of my appreciation, these are for you.” The imperial guards smiled at Rick’s gesture. This amount of money was enough to last them for a while. “In that case, you may stay. Don’t cause any trouble or we’ll take you away.” After saying this, they smiled and left. However, Rick stopped them. “I need your help with something else!” Rick h
“Let’s stay here for the time being. I believe we can pass the challenge with our abilities, but there are risks involved, after all. I just want everyone to try their best.” These members were Philip’s precious students, so he was unwilling to see anything happen to them. Everyone nodded at Philip’s remarks. There should be no problem with their strength. “Don't worry, Philip. We’ll definitely do our best. This challenge is not difficult for us. We can get it done as long as we put some effort into it.” “That’s right, we can also see how strong the others are. Are they really as weak as we think?” Everyone spoke cheerfully, clearly looking down on the guild members of this continent. They were more or less in awe of these unfamiliar people when they first arrived, but after witnessing their so-called powerful strength, they quickly changed their minds. At this time, someone knocked on Philip's inn door. Philip asked someone to open the door, curious to see what was going
“There’s no way you can continue staying here if you refuse to pay up. Not only can we not guarantee your safety, but we’ll also take you away for questioning according to the rules. We know time is of the essence for practitioners like you.” The threat in the other party’s words was clear. This incident would not be over until Philip gave them something. At this time, Lyle came to Philip's side and whispered in his ear, “Philip, this sneaky guy is clearly out for money. We can’t give in to him.” Aslan was annoyed. He hated such bullies the most. He would have kicked the imperial guards out if Philip had not stopped him. “Since there are so many of you, just pay a fee per head. I believe it shouldn't be a problem for you. After all, your guild looks quite large.” The captain signaled a number with his hand, clearly asking Philip to hand over the money quickly. Philip nodded and smiled brightly. “Of course, that's no problem. Aslan, it's your turn to take the stage. You sh
“Since you want to mess with us, don’t blame us for taking action. Guys, take them away. Let’s show them how powerful the imperial guards can be.” With that command, everyone sprang into action. They were excited and knew exactly what to do. Before anyone could attack Philip, Aslan made his move. Aslan hit the guards on the head with the brick and quickly knocked them unconscious. Aslan smiled brightly at this scene. He knew that no one could resist his brick attack. “What’s so great about your low-end energy weapons? You think too highly of yourselves.” Philip and the rest looked down on low-end energy weapons and could not bring themselves to use one. In the blink of an eye, the guards suffered a good beating until only the captain was left standing. “You guys are so bold. Do you know who we are? We're the imperial guards, not people losers like you can mess with. If you dare to lay a finger on us, you’ll know how difficult your life will be from now on.” After saying
The imperial guards finally had some free time and knew it was time to mess with Philip. “Philip has been taking it easy for a while. It's time for us to deal with him.” The captain of the imperial guards scowled, wishing he could rip Philip into pieces. He learned about Philip after some investigation. It turned out that this guy was very wealthy, his members were all outstanding, and the pills they made were simply out of this world. The Razer Guild could be considered the best in all aspects. After confirming Philip's financials and assets, the captain was more upset. Philip could totally give them some crumbs, if not the whole pie, but he simply refused. “I think Rick is more pleasing to the eye, unlike this oblivious guy in front of us. We need to make things difficult for him and stop him from entering our territory at all costs!” Everyone was planning how to deal with Philip. After all, Glaze Tower was now under the imperial guards' charge, so it would be easy to contr
At first, Rick could rely on small tricks to crush the illusions so that he could wake up from them and pass the level. Rick reached the fourth level smoothly but encountered a problem on this level. Among everyone, Rick passed the levels the fastest. Other people were not as strong as Rick. As everyone’s strength had been suppressed to the lowest level, they could only do it one level at a time if they had no better way to pass the level. Rick reached the fourth level when everyone was still on the first level, so this speed was simply astounding. The guards in charge of guarding the door and the onlookers watching the fun were shocked. No one expected someone to be so fast. “Hey, who is this Rick guy? Is he really that strong?” “Why have I never heard of him before? Moreover, he’s a casual practitioner. He must be a dark horse that suddenly emerged in the last thousand years!” “I think he’s the most promising talent to reach the top this year. We need to keep a close ey
The guards stepped forward to stop the members of the Razer Guild from signing up. “Don't even think about participating in this competition. You've been blacklisted. You can forget about this.” “Maybe you can consider taking part again after a thousand years to stand a chance.” The guards smiled at them mockingly, clearly looking down on Philip. Philip sneered. It turned out these people had been waiting for him right here. “Glaze Tower doesn’t belong to the royal family nor you as private property. Why bring this upon yourselves?” Philip winked at his men. They marched forward in a group, pushed the guards aside, and entered the Glaze Tower without further ado. Since the guards were determined not to let them in, they would use some tough measures. Everyone was surprised at this scene and looked at Philip in horror. The members of this guild were so insolent, and it had everything to do with the domineering arrogance of the guild leader. Philip nodded in satisfactio
Argent was nothing more than average, but he was so full of himself. Philip felt that he might be inferior to the other party in that aspect. “All the rewards are in my hands. If you really want them, you can try to defeat me and take them away. Otherwise, I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to get them with your strength.” Philip smiled at him. Although this guy was quite strong, he was no match for Philip. “I entered the top 100 of the advanced list when I was at your age. You’re nothing to me. Stop showing off in front of me.” A trace of disdain flashed across Argent’s face. He was clearly looking down on Philip. Philip nodded. This old man was very full of himself. His strength was undeniable, but it was nothing compared to Philip’s. “I heard that you don’t belong to a guild. Don't you feel ashamed? It’s a pity that no one is willing to take you in.” Philip smiled brightly. He said this on purpose to snub Argent. Argent was furious to hear Philip mocking him for this. He
After hearing Philip’s remarks, the guy trembled in anger. His name was Argent, nicknamed Silver Snake. He first came into contact with a practice technique when he was a teenager. As he did not know anything, he simply practiced the technique on his own. Unexpectedly, there was a problem with this technique. His height remained what it was in his teens, but his appearance became old. At first, he thought that he would always look like a teenager, but his appearance gradually became old and terrifying. No matter where he went after that, people would treat him as an old man even though he was only in his early 40s. Thinking of this, he felt sorry for himself, and his hatred for Philip deepened. Not only did his appearance change, but his practice level also slowly dropped to rock bottom. His mind gradually became more and more twisted because of this. Then, he stumbled into a cave and received a heritage by chance. The heritage was evil, but it helped him improve his practice
Philip nodded at the other party’s grace. “Not bad, that young man is quite decent.” Even though the other party was a middle-aged man, Philip called him a young man. Philip knew that someone else would approach him very soon. He could use this opportunity to find out more about the force behind the other party. He quickly reserved the inn and wandered around the streets. He wanted to see how many people were following him. Everyone had their own agenda and was up to no good. Philip soon saw a sneaky old man who did not seem to pose any threat. The old man looked at Philip thoughtfully with a hint of ridicule, which gave Philip an unpleasant feeling. “You should know the purpose of my visit. Do I need to elaborate?” the old man cut to the chase. Philip shook his head helplessly at the old man’s arrogance. The old man in front of him was quite powerful or he would not have been so arrogant. He thought he could deal with Philip easily with his strength. “You’re obviousl
Philip was surprised to hear that. “So, my performance was so outstanding that they can't wait to get rid of me.” Philip glanced at Duncan. Since he was not here for his money, there was no problem. Besides, he did not seem like a bad guy. “I have a job to do. I have to fulfill my responsibilities and obligations, so I need to report the situation truthfully.” Duncan knew he could not deal with Philip, so he had to find another way to negotiate with him. “If you promise not to take part in another match, I can consider letting you go for the time being. That way, I can go back and report my findings too.” He did not mention his men whom Philip took down as if they were not important at all. “Of course, I can’t agree to that. This isn’t as simple as you think. The people behind Deadly Arena won’t let me off so easily. Don’t worry about that,” Philip said with a smile. Since he knew that Duncan was from Deadly Arena, there was nothing more to say. Philip knew that Lyle
The captain was horrified by this scene. He did not expect that Philip was so powerful to take his men down in seconds. “What powerful magic is that?” Everyone was shocked to see Philip’s strength, and the troublemakers looked worried. “Let's go. Even the Shadow Army can't do anything to him. We stand no chance.” “I think he's concealing his strength, or there’s no way he could deal with the Shadow Army so easily.” The captain of the Shadow Army could not figure out what was going on. He had no idea if he could deal with Philip either. “I can deal with you easily, so stop wasting my time and just speak your mind. I hear that you’re from the Shadow Army. In that case, let’s have a good chat.” Philip quickly sat down with him in a tavern. “Let me introduce myself. My name is Duncan. It’s nice to meet you.” Since he decided to have a chat with Philip, he left nothing unsaid. The first step of good communication was to uncover his true details. “As you know, my name is Ph
“You seem stronger than Killer Bee. You might've stood a chance of winning if you had gone against him,” Philip taunted. Philip raised his head and took the punch without breaking a sweat. “If you want to steal from me, I'm sorry to tell you that you found the wrong target. If you just want to make friends with me, I’m more than happy to accept.” Philip grabbed the guy’s fist and threw him out with disdain, not taking him seriously at all. The guy did not expect that he would be tossed aside like a piece of trash and started panicking. Before he passed out, he only remembered that Philip easily dealt with him without breaking a sweat. He did not know what happened later, but he knew that Philip was so strong that he could kill him in a split second. If he could turn back time, he would never go after Philip again. Other people were shocked to see Philip’s strength. “He tossed the guy out so easily. This is terrifying. How did he do it?” “That’s impossible. That guy is p
Philip walked on the road leisurely, feeling honored to have so many people stalking him. “I’m surprised that I could attract so many people.” Philip sighed in amazement as he walked. Soon, he came across several good large inns and made his choice after some selection. He was not short of money, so he did not waste time on this. “I’m going to fully reserve this inn for the time being. I don't want to see other people on my territory, so your job is to keep irrelevant people out.” Philip negotiated with the innkeeper and received the other party's consent. After all, Philip’s offer was too good to refuse. They quickly reached an agreement, and Philip obtained the right to use the inn at a good price. At this time, a bunch of people surrounded Philip with disdain. “You’re quite bold to come out alone.” “It’s very interesting to see someone walking around with so many treasures on hand.” Everyone mocked with disdainful smiles on their faces. Philip shook his head helple
Very soon, someone sent Philip his rewards. The onlookers were surprised to see Philip receiving so many precious treasures. Some were happy while others were sad. Some envied Philip's treasures while others hankered after them. After all, not everyone could receive such rewards. Only practitioners who performed well had the opportunity to get these rewards that belonged to the advanced list. Although they could not do anything to Philip for the time being, Philip would leave Deadly Arena eventually. As long as they did not take action in Deadly Arena, no one would care what happened to Philip after that. “You can stay if you want to keep fighting. I’ll take a look around and find a place for us to stay,” Philip said to his people. These little guys had not shown off their strength yet, so they were sure to stay. Sure enough, everyone nodded. It was time for them to take the spotlight. Aslan and the others chose to stay. No one would miss the opportunity to show off. Philip
Some people saw Philip's actions before he confounded everyone, so they were terrified. “What's going on? Has that guy gone crazy? I just saw him standing there motionless, waiting for Killer Bee to attack him.” “I would've moved ages ago. Killer Bee is very powerful. He was clearly lurking around, waiting for the chance to attack Philip, but Philip didn’t even try to dodge. Is he really that confident in his strength?” “It’s over. I bet tens of thousands of energy stones on Philip. Everything will go down the drain if he loses the match.” Everyone sighed, hoping Philip would not let them down. However, more people thought that Philip would definitely die this time. At his level, it was simply impossible for him to face Killer Bee's strongest sneak attack. The old men looked at Philip's action with excitement and anticipation, hoping that Philip would be killed immediately. “It’d be great if he died. We can recoup all our losses in one fell swoop.” “It’s good if we can
