“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
Everyone was horrified and could not wait to figure out the outrageous strength of these people. Members of other guilds were aghast to see their strength too. “Oh no, they're so powerful. What should we do? There’s no way we can defeat them; they're all so strong. We can't handle them at all!” Other guild leaders gathered together to discuss this problem. They knew that they had met a tough opponent this time. Donald, the guild leader of the Pill Guild, was the most frustrated. He was horrified and at a loss for what to do. “Damn it, why is Philip so powerful? Is he really the chosen one? Impossible. He can’t be that strong!” Donald could not believe it and thought he was dreaming. There was no way such a dark horse could appear in the world. Where did the Razer Guild get their practice resources from? How could they keep such a low profile? As the mysterious man mentioned, was it possible that they came from another mysterious place and were not from this world at all
Many people noticed Rick because he was the first person to quit after passing the fourth level, so they could get some information from him. Soon, Rick walked out dejectedly. He looked at the rewards given by Glaze Tower and felt that he had made a loss. “I’m the first person to pass the fourth level. Why did I get such a small reward? What a ripoff!” he grumbled as he walked, seemingly very unhappy. As soon as he went out, he found himself surrounded by curious people. “Hey dude, tell us what happened.” “That's right, what did you experience inside? Tell us quickly.” Everyone looked at him expectantly, waiting for him to speak. “Hehe, there's nothing inside, but it’s terrifying. The place is full of dangers everywhere!” Rick was full of disdain when he noticed these people trying to pry information from him. Everyone scowled upon hearing that. Although they did not know whether Rick was telling the truth, they had a feeling that there was more than met the eye. “W
The captain of the imperial guards reported this incident to the emperor before he arrived, so he was waiting for the emperor to decide how to deal with Philip. Although Philip had a powerful guild, they could not tolerate anyone humiliating the royal family. The captain knew that he could not deal with Philip himself, so he decided to use the power of the royal family instead. “Captain, you’re finally here. You have no idea how cunning that guy is. I told him not to enter, but he ignored me!” Upon seeing the captain’s fury, Rick smiled brightly and approached him fawningly. The onlookers looked at Rick with contempt upon hearing that but refrained from speaking. After all, no one knew Rick or his background, so they would rather not say anything offensive. The captain became angrier after hearing that. “He’s too much. We need to deal with him at once!” He ordered his people to surround Glaze Tower. “The emperor has issued an order. If anyone is willing to join us in ta
If Philip was at fault, Lincoln had nothing to say. However, if Hogster was the one who had caused all the trouble, he would not spare them. “I’ll get to the bottom of this. Now, tell me what’s going on with Dennis. Based on my understanding of him, he wouldn't betray the guild for no reason. He must have a reason for doing this!” Neither of them could explain what happened to Dennis. They could only say that humans were fickle. After all, they could not figure it out either. The person at fault would never admit their fault. Alain did not think that he was biased or thought that what he had done was excessive. He simply thought that Dennis looked down on him, which was why he decided to leave. Now that he was gone, Alain could say whatever he wanted, and Dennis could not defend himself. Thinking of this, Alain was very excited. He began to defame Dennis and shifted the attention away from him and his son. Lincoln scowled as he listened. Then, he returned to his room and summ
Alain was helpless. Although he had a lot to say, he could not do anything in front of Lincoln. Lincoln was stronger than him in every aspect, a force to be reckoned with. He was not someone Alain could deal with. Alain looked at Lincoln awkwardly. He wanted to appease his anger but did not know what to say. “You need to explain this to me. Why did Dennis leave? And I want to know why the guild’s reputation has become so bad. Did you do something wrong?”Lincoln heard that Dennis had been expelled and could no longer stay in the guild. Many people supported Dennis, so they were upset with Alain and tried to defame him. Hearing that, Alain knew that someone must have been talking behind his back, but he did not dare to lose his temper. He forced a smile and looked at Lincoln in a flattering manner. Before he could find an excuse, Hogster rushed over excitedly and said to his father, “Father, guess what I did to Philip? Hehe!” Hogster recounted his handiwork smugly without p
It had been years since the grandmaster went into seclusion for practice. He was not concerned about power. He once mentioned that he would not leave his seclusion unless he reached the top. Hence, no one expected to see him. “Grandmaster, you appeared at the right time. We would've been in trouble if you didn't come out!” “That’s right. Everyone is bullying us. Now that you’re out, you can help us.” Everyone complained about their grievances, feeling sorry for themselves. The Hexa Guild was in trouble, and they faced various problems too. All the major guilds were keeping a close eye on the Hexa Guild, waiting to see them make a fool of themselves. The Celestial Palace planned to destroy the Hexa Guild instead of letting them off. They could not accept the initial setup, so they decided to erase the Hexa Guild from existence. Hence, the Hexa Guild had been under great pressure, with the members wishing that someone could help them. Unexpectedly, a strong expert appeared.
Ronan was his buddy, and his wife's reputation was at stake. Philip could not stand idly by. He had to help. Jamie was very fast at ordering his people to make the matter public. No one expected another dramatic turn of events. Everyone thought that the young lady of the Celestial Palace was an unchaste woman for making that decision. Unexpectedly, the Celestial Palace found a way to solve the side effects of their technique. All the major guilds were in trepidation. Although the Celestial Palace’s technique was very powerful, the side effects reduced its allure. Now that that problem was solved, everything was different. On top of that, the holy maiden and other members of the guild showed their appearance in public. Regardless of gender, everyone was beautiful without any markings on their faces. After seeing this scene, everyone knew that the Celestial Palace was about to make a comeback. Carlos was very excited and thought that Vanna was a lucky star to bring so many
After reading the letter, Alain trembled in anger, shocked that two of his strongest members would choose to leave the guild at such a critical time. Their departure was no joke. The guild could lose the guild competition at any minute! Dennis and Louis were very strong and could hold down the fort in the competition. With their departure, Alain would have fewer people to count on, and things might end up a mess. He was furious about their abrupt departure. “I need to capture Dennis. How dare he betray us?!” Alain was very upset. As a traitor, Dennis had to be dealt with. The news quickly spread, and many members found out that Dennis had chosen to leave the guild. The other elders also wondered what they should do. They knew that Dennis was a smart man and was good at judging the situation. Choosing to leave was a sign of a change to come. Everyone had their own thoughts and a rough guess about what was going on. Alain's actions not only caused an uproar but also made
A young man about the same age as him was so talented. Could anyone not be jealous? However, Louis was truly not jealous. He just wanted to learn from Philip. If Philip was really that strong, he would obey. Although Louis had a high status in the guild, he was not highly valued. That useless loser was given priority when it came to most of the resources, which made Louis upset. By right, resources should be allocated to talented people, but things were different because Hogster had a guild leader for a father. Thinking of this, Louis smiled at Philip expectantly. If Philip was worth following, he would leave the Hexa Guild without hesitation. “I want to apologize for offending you earlier. I also want to follow you, but I don’t know if I’m good enough. If you won’t consider me, I hope you can give my son a chance. He’s pretty talented.” Dennis was very polite as he apologized to Philip. Philip was surprised and thought that Dennis was quite nice. Philip invited them insi
Dennis and Louis quickly arrived at the door and knocked nervously. Rabbit opened the door this time. He did not expect to see Dennis again. He thought Dennis was here to cause trouble, so he scowled. “Why are you here again, old man? Do you want to cause more trouble for us? You’d better think twice or I’m going to get angry!” Rabbit said fiercely. Rabbit easily crushed them earlier, so they would not forget about their miserable defeat so quickly. Louis was embarrassed to hear that this rabbit had defeated his father. He had always thought that Dennis was very powerful and would not lose to a younger person no matter what. Unexpectedly, Dennis was not only defeated but lost miserably too. Louis keenly perceived that this talking rabbit was Philip’s pet and became excited. If Philip's pet was so powerful, Philip should be better. Thinking of this, he was excited and wanted to see Philip immediately. Rabbit stared at Dennis and Louis, wondering what they were up to. Denni
Celeste was surprised to see that Esther had restored her appearance. She had just seen Esther wearing a veil to cover her ugly face when they first met earlier. “Amazing! You look beautiful all of a sudden,” Celeste praised Esther from the bottom of her heart. Celeste did not know how it happened, but there had to be a reason for it. Esther smiled at Celeste. “Now that I’m beautiful, I can fully focus on taking care of Philip. Don’t worry, I won’t be worse than you.” Hearing that, Celeste was puzzled by Esther’s aggression. While everyone was lost in their own thoughts, an uninvited guest turned up at the door. It was none other than Dennis of the Hexa Guild. Dennis was not alone as he had brought his son along with him. His son was quite talented and always listened to his father's opinions. After all, he knew that he would not be where he was without his father’s guidance, and most of his father’s decisions were correct. “Father, are you sure we should leave the guild
Esther never thought that her curse could be lifted so quickly. More importantly, Esther found that all the negative energy in her body had disappeared. She took off her veil and looked at them with her true appearance. Esther was beautiful by nature, but the nasty technique had impacted her self-esteem. Now that she had regained her appearance, Esther’s confidence returned as well. “Wonderful! This technique is the perfect improved version! With this technique, our members can practice like any normal person without worrying about their appearance. Other guilds can’t kick a fuss over it or try to mess with us again!” Jamie was ecstatic and abruptly remembered a very important question. “By the way, what’s the deal with this technique? Did someone give it to you?” Jamie had to get to the bottom of it. It was very important. He would be uneasy if he did not figure out the situation. “Philip gave it to me. I don't know how he got our technique, but he’s quite good at studying
