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
Thinking of this, everyone seemed uneasy. They wanted to know what would happen after the challenge was cleared, and what would happen to the Razer Guild after that! “This guild doesn’t look very impressive, but they’re so strong!” a leader of a major guild muttered in a corner. He did not take part in the action against Philip but was watching the excitement in silence instead. He knew that Philip was a force to be reckoned with. Besides, he had not done any harm so far. It would be hard to say what would happen if they simply targeted him because he was too strong. Powerful guilds would always exist. It was ridiculous to become the target of public criticism simply because one was too strong. In that case, the trend of the practice world would become very different. He did not like this outlook at all. Therefore, he decided to stand on Philip's side and help Philip through this ordeal. He was best at fortune-telling and face-reading. He thought that Philip was not an ordina
Philip found various plants, pills, and weapons on different levels of Glaze Tower. The rewards he received after passing the levels were normal herbs that could be bought in the outside world. Although the number was staggering, there was no point in having so many ordinary herbs. Philip wondered if his people had discovered this secret. He passed the levels one after another and collected everything he found. Soon, he reached the ninth floor easily. He had no idea the sensation he caused in the outside world when he reached the ninth floor. Many big guilds were worried and gave up on dealing with Philip. However, those who wanted to deal with Philip became more determined. “Damn it, we can’t let him continue to develop no matter what. He’s terrifying. We have to kill him while he's still young at all costs!” “That's right, we have to treat him as a demonic practitioner and get rid of him while we can!” Otto's expression changed drastically when he saw Philip’s progress.
Rick scowled. Of course, he knew the truth, but he had no idea what he should say to ease the atmosphere. In fact, each level had a time limit, and the challengers would be eliminated if they were stuck on one level for too long. However, as long as they were not killed by the beast, they would not die. The challengers were kicked out one after another. Some chose to give up while others were eliminated from taking part in the next challenge. Rick was very upset when he saw Philip passing one level after another as if he was about to conquer Glaze Tower. In his opinion, Philip was just a young kid. How powerful could he be? Why could he remain in Glaze Tower for such a long time? At this time, a cold gaze stared fixedly at the Glaze Tower rankings. His name was Lester. As the strongest member of the Cadence Guild, he only managed to reach the sixth floor this time. He tried his best to challenge the next level but was almost torn into pieces by the beast. Due to this re
“I’m surrendering to the humans, not the merfolk. Who do you think you are?” The chief of the fish creatures knew that he stood a chance to survive if he surrendered to the humans, but they would be dead if they gave in to the merfolk. The merfolk hated their existence and could not wait to kill them. On the other hand, the humans did not have a big grudge against them. At most, he would allow Katie to stab them a few times. Moray scowled at his words and trembled with anger. “Fine, remember your words. You’ll pay the price for what you said today.” He turned away from the chief of the fish creatures' arrogant face and glanced at Philip instead. In his opinion, Philip should at least fulfill his promise. However, Philip paid no heed to him at all. “You should know what I want. I won’t take action if you hand it over of your own accord. Although you’re ugly, at least you never messed with me,” Philip said with a smile. The fish creatures could not refute the fact that they
Tom watched this scene smugly. His plan worked. Although he failed to get Katie’s agreement, he managed to sow discord between Marina and Philip. He could proceed with the next step. Marina was very upset now, so he had to seize the opportunity to intervene. Katie was the center of this fight. It was time for a battle to the death. Philip watched from the sidelines. He would only step forward to provide help when Katie needed it. Otherwise, he would simply keep an eye on her. He wanted to take the opportunity to train her as an ace up his sleeve. The fish creatures were fully prepared to fight Philip and the others, but they had no idea that they were so strong. They thought that the humans had ordinary bodies and could not resist their poison. The fish creatures' venom should be lethal for humans, making them unable to resist. However, these humans seemed indestructible. They had no way to deal with them no matter how hard they tried. “What’s up with these people's bodies?
Tom was counting on Philip to help them deal with the fish creatures. He thought that he could sit back and reap the benefits, but things were not as simple as imagined. Philip would not fall for it so easily. Philip glanced at Tom, disappointed by the eagerness in his eyes. He did not expect that the simple and honest young man would show such a side. At this time, Tom glanced at Katie. He wanted to take the opportunity to win Katie over to his side. “Katie, just look at the ugly side of these people. I begged Philip to bring you to this world back then, so I’m obligated to protect you. Philip is up to no good. I want to take responsibility for what I did back then,” Tom said righteously. Tom felt smug about it, but it was quickly replaced by tension and worry. Katie looked at Tom in confusion, thinking that maybe he was a little unhinged. “You didn’t beg Philip to take me in back then. I was the one who begged him to take me away. “If you hadn't fled to our fishing villag
Moray glanced at Philip with disdain and anger, blaming Philip for everything. He would not have suffered this humiliation if not for Philip. “No matter what, I’ll take care of you right now. Putting aside whether I’m working with humans or not, you’ll die as long as you can’t defeat me.” Moray put up a tough front, feeling annoyed about this. He was embarrassed because of Philip. He vowed to cut off all ties with Philip later and never let anyone know that they worked with humans. Aslan was annoyed by Moray’s unpleasant words. “What do you mean, old man? You behaved differently when you wanted to use us and changed your attitude after using us. Are you burning bridges now?” Aslan with his hot temper knew that the best way to deal with Moray was to condemn him. Moray scowled, surprised that someone dared to complain about him. “What do you mean? Do you think I'm a pushover? You used us to help you deal with the fish creatures, and you want to cut ties with us right after th
Philip had a good impression of Katie. She was passionate about learning and studied very hard. Even Philip felt inferior to her. Since Katie was doing it to seek revenge for her parents, Philip always taught Katie seriously and never kept anything from her. They spoke in a corner privately, and Tom watched with jealousy. Sure enough, Katie had fallen for Philip instead. The way Katie looked at Philip was the same way she looked at Tom back then. It was the worship and admiration for the strong. Tom was depressed at the thought that he had lost Katie in just a few days. Marina keenly noticed Tom's abnormal mood swings. She was curious and wondered what was wrong with him. “Tom, are you okay? Why do you look so bad? Are you feeling unwell? Or were you scared by the sneak attack just now?” Marina was concerned about her personal guard’s unpleasant look. Unexpectedly, Marina’s concern undermined Tom’s confidence instead. “How could I be scared by those things? Do you really th
Moray used to be a rational person, but things were different now. With Tom adding fuel to the fire and coupled with his daughter’s attitude, Moray lost his temper. He could not tolerate Philip's existence anymore. He felt as if Philip was going to snatch Marina away, which annoyed him. Due to his dignity, however, he simply advised Marina not to be so stupid. “How do you know that Philip is the person you know? With demons running rampant, their methods are unpredictable. They could even disguise themselves as elves. What else can stop them?” Tom could not bear it any longer and spoke up. He did not expect that Moray was so bad at convincing his daughter. It would be bad if Marina convinced Moray instead. “What do you mean? Are you saying that Philip has been possessed by a demon? Or is this Philip not the person we know?” Marina’s expression changed slightly. Tom had a certain say in this matter because they returned from Philip’s world together and received help from P
Moray scowled. He did not expect Philip to be right. It was dangerous ahead. He felt embarrassed by his earlier outburst. “Hehe, even if it’s dangerous, that’s no reason to stop. We should…” Marina was angry at her father’s shameful behavior. She wanted Philip to meet her father and have a good chat, but so many things happened instead. “That’s enough. Stop talking. It’s your mistake this time. They told you about the danger ahead, but you insisted on going there anyway. You’re causing trouble on purpose!” Marina was very angry and went to Philip’s side as if she was going to take his side. Tom looked at this scene with jealousy and resentment. Marina trusted Philip more because of this incident. He had made things worse. Philip ignored their internal conflict. He simply found them annoying. He would not object if they wanted to stop the cooperation. “Philip, I heard that the fish creatures have a treasure that allows them to survive in this harsh environment. Maybe we ca
Loony looked at the merfolk with disdain. Before this, he always thought that the merfolk were smart and beautiful creatures, but reality proved that they were stupid. “Sure enough, only birds of a feather can flock together. Only humans can work together,” Loony said in dissatisfaction. He had always been known as a lunatic, so he did not have to watch his words. Aslan stepped forward on behalf of the monster beasts. “You can't say that. You can criticize the merfolk, but don’t get us involved. We’re loyal to Philip.” Moray was angry at their rebuke and wanted to teach Philip a lesson. “You need to decide quickly. We’re about to arrive. Do you want to give up now? That doesn’t make sense. If you’re a man, you need to take action. Don't let me look down on you.” Moray’s tone was condescending, putting on an air of superiority. “Indeed, I don’t dare to take the risk. Why don’t you take the lead?” Philip said with a smile. He did not take the bait because he did not care ab
Aslan wiped the mud off his body in annoyance. The mud was very sticky, and no one could avoid it. Aslan was disgusted and cursed the fish creatures to hell and back. “Philip, I feel something is wrong ahead. Is it an ambush?” Black Rabbit looked at Philip nervously. He felt something was not right. Philip was surprised by Black Rabbit’s keen senses and wondered what was going on. “Just speak your mind. There’s no need to hold back. We’re on the same side,” Philip said. Black Rabbit nodded and pointed up ahead. “I feel that there’s something wrong with that place. I think someone has set up a barrier to trap us.” Although Black Rabbit had no special ability, he had very keen senses. If he sensed something wrong, they should check it out. Rabbit joined the discussion. Although he hated Black Rabbit, he had to admit that he was capable. “Black Rabbit has a great perception of danger that's much stronger than that of ordinary practitioners.” Everyone stopped and pondered
