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 could've stayed inside longer to have some more fun, but I had a feeling it wouldn’t do me any good. The last two levels are difficult, and I cherish my life very much.” “Yeah, I wasted so much time inside because I discovered the secret of Glaze Tower.” Everyone chatted with each other as if they were comparing answers after an exam. Hearing the exchange, the onlookers pricked up their ears curiously. They wanted to know the situation above the fifth floor. Hearing the onlookers questioning them curiously, the members were full of contempt. “Do you want to know the secret of Glaze Tower now? Hehe, you can forget about getting information for nothing.” Everyone was full of disdain. They knew these people were up to no good. Except for some newly recruited members who chose to quit on the eighth floor, other veteran members continued the challenge. At this moment, Philip was on the ninth floor. Thick smoke appeared before his eyes and quickly permeated the whole place
Philip left Glaze Tower after collecting everything he could find. The next moment, Glaze Tower dazzled brightly, and a person was teleported out. Everyone stopped talking and walked forward curiously to take a look at the teleported person, who was none other than Philip. Philip walked out leisurely while checking his loot. He had searched every nook and cranny and only chosen to leave after confirming that there were no other treasures in Glaze Tower. After he passed the challenge, however, Glaze Tower rewarded him with other things, which looked quite good. Unexpectedly, Glaze Tower also merged with Philip, becoming one with him. Philip explored Glaze Tower excitedly. It would be best if Glaze Tower really became his private property. He received a lot of information about Glaze Tower, and he could also kick everyone out of it. He could see Aslan and the others accepting the challenges and searching for treasures. If he could see these extraordinary things, Philip was su
After paying the entry fee, they found a serious problem. Glaze Tower would not let anyone in. By right, they simply had to enter Glaze Tower's entrance and the tower would bring them inside to start challenging the first level. However, they stood at the entrance for a while but Glaze Tower did not do anything. “What’s wrong with Glaze Tower? Is it not accepting people anymore?” “If that’s the case, that sounds bad. My fellow guild members are still on their way here.” “What’s going on? Can anyone rectify this problem?” Everyone was horrified by this sudden development. No one owned Glaze Tower, so it was impossible to find a solution. “I’m sure Glaze Tower decided not to let more people inside because someone has passed the challenge. This must be Philip’s fault.” Rick seized the opportunity to pin the blame, glaring at Philip viciously. Lester scowled at this unexpected outcome. Although he had been kicked out of Glaze Tower, he still had the opportunity to enter aga
Rick retreated into a corner dejectedly, trying to think of a way to trigger a conflict between Philip and everyone else. Although there was conflict, everyone hid their emotions without venting their frustrations. At this time, Otto approached Philip privately. He had a good impression of Philip and wanted to know him better. “Have you heard of a place called Deadly Arena?” Otto and Philip sat in a tavern drinking like best buddies. The other members of the two guilds were eating and drinking at other places. Everyone was exhausted after spending so much energy in Glaze Tower over a long duration. “What is it? Is it something like a battle arena?” Philip said curiously. He had never heard of it. Otto nodded. “We can take a transportation tool called a cloud vessel to the Clandestine Continent.” This continent was more than met the eye, and it was famous for the so-called Deadly Arena. Philip’s interest was piqued. After his people had their fill, they arrived at the
The young man’s face was stained with blood, but he did not seem injured. He looked cool and handsome. An older man stood across from the young man. The former clutched his stomach as if trying to stop the blood from flowing. The older man looked at the young man solemnly and said, “Thank you for not killing me. Please excuse me.” The older man left after losing the fight without displaying any anger or staying around to mess with others. The audience cheered like crazed fans and chanted the young man’s name, “Fabian! Fabian!” Everyone was excited to see this mind-blowing scene. Philip observed the young man with a saber in hand. He could tell Fabian was very strong, a force to be reckoned with. The challengers would receive certain rewards, and everyone could make some money by placing bets. Of course, the winner would get more rewards while the loser would receive some compensation. However, that was on the premise that they survived. Everything that happened in Dea
Philip noticed his people’s eager expressions and shook his head helplessly. Since they were here, there was no reason not to take part. He would have let them do it even if they had not asked. Everyone quickly signed up excitedly. Everyone received a name tag, and their names appeared on the huge stone tablet. Everyone had a zero above their names. Their stats were clearly so clean because they did not have any rankings. “Oh? So many little guys signed up! This is really interesting!” “It’s been a while since we saw any fresh faces. It’s interesting to see them sign up for this.” Everyone was interested in these rookies. In their opinion, they were nothing but cannon fodder. They were relatively young and did not seem powerful at all. “How many young talents can there be in the world? There are only a handful of them.” “Most young people can only be seen as pitiful cannon fodder.” Everyone discussed these young people excitedly but did not think highly of them. Heari
“No one ever comes to my place. You must be outsiders.” Celeste was curious, wondering who Philip was. Celeste knew about the four unique races, but Philip’s appearance and form did not fit any of them. “You’re right. I’m an outsider. I wanted to know something, so I came to the forest. It’s best if you can give me an answer. I don’t intend to harm anyone. If you can answer my questions, I’ll leave and remove the curse on you as well,” Philip persuaded her. He felt that the woman was quite sincere, different from what he imagined. In that case, there was no need to make things difficult for her. Besides, he did not feel a murderous vibe in her, so she had probably never done anything bad. Philip had no reason to make things difficult for someone who liked to hide and sing. “Go ahead. I’ll answer you if I know, but I don’t really know much. I usually stay in my own territory and have no contact with the outside world. Even the other races don't know of my existence.” Rabbit
Philip felt that there was no problem with his hearing. Someone was humming a song, and the tune sounded very strange and spooky in the dark forest. Rabbit frowned and nodded. He also heard the strange sound and was scared. “Who has nothing better to do but to sing here?” Rabbit nervously grabbed the corner of Philip's clothes, afraid that Philip would leave him behind. Philip shook his head. According to the others, no one would come here for no reason. Due to various dangers in the forest, they would only wander around the edge without seeking trouble in the depths. In that case, the abrupt singing voice was very strange, indeed. “Philip, don't be nervous. Stay calm.” Rabbit's voice was trembling. Although Rabbit kept telling Philip to stay calm, he was already freaking out, so scared that he nearly wanted to run away. Philip knew Rabbit’s character, so he did not comment. He simply observed the surroundings and listened carefully to the sound, which was so ethereal tha
Philip took Puffy along and quickly arrived in a forest where the other races usually hunted, so they should not face any danger here. As soon as Philip left, a woman appeared in the corner and looked in the direction where Philip left with a conflicted look on her face. “Should I follow him?” Ariadna had been left behind in the snake people’s village. She had no friends, and no one paid her any attention. Sometimes, they even displayed their ridicule and disdain for her. She did not get good treatment even though she was a junior from the outside world. In desperation, Ariadna decided to follow Philip. Unexpectedly, she saw Philip with a cute kid the next second. Ariadna was surprised to see that Philip had such a big and cute child. “Wait, that kid looks a little weird.” Due to the distance, Ariadna could not see what the kid looked like, but his color and body shape seemed different from that of normal people. After much deliberation, Ariadna decided to tag along, co
“I’ll look around and find out what’s going on. Don’t worry about me. Look for Ronan if anything crops up.” Philip decided to leave Ronan in charge. Ronan did not object. He knew that Philip wanted to train him. He rarely interacted with others, so he had poor social skills. He had improved with Philip’s help, but his skills were still nothing compared to Philip’s subordinates. He was deeply moved by the opportunity that Philip had given him. “Sure enough, heroes will emerge from the youth. You two will have a bright future!” Wren said excitedly. Philip did not comment. After a few pleasantries, he wandered around with Rabbit. Selma and her people had no time for Philip. They finally found their predecessors, so they had many questions to solve. Philip was most interested in getting to the bottom of this mysterious place. It felt more like a cage designed to trap them. It was devoid of rich energy and other resources suitable for them. What was the purpose of the person b
A woman like Arachne who pursued her own happiness was usually frowned upon. A person who was willing to sacrifice for the family would be recorded in history forever. Weaver patted Ariadna's shoulder expectantly, believing she could carry it out. After all, he did not know what had happened between them earlier. Everything was a big mistake. “I don’t think I can complete this difficult task,” Ariadna said nervously, afraid that Weaver would put too much hope on her. Ariadna knew that Rabbit had a grudge against her. Moreover, some of her actions had offended Philip, who might ignore her because of that. Thinking of this, she wanted to decline the task, but Weaver was very firm about his decision. “As the holy maiden of the family, this task is yours. No one else can do it but you.” Weaver put Ariadna on a high pedestal, so all the pressure fell on her. Weaver left with the others, leaving the poor holy maiden behind. Arachne looked at Ariadna resentfully. The opportunity
“You never considered the consequences when you tried to take advantage of us. We brought them here, and they have the right to choose. Don't think about taking advantage.” Philip nodded at Fitz’s attitude. Sure enough, he liked this earnest man and was happy with his point of view. “If you want something, you need to pay a price for it. As I mentioned, I’m a businessman, so I prefer fair trade. I’m more than happy if you want to discuss a deal with me.” In fact, they had reached an agreement before the spider people arrived. Philip would not help the other three races for free, but he was not bad enough to charge them fees either. However, the spider people were different. Not to mention that Philip had a bad impression of them, but Rabbit’s grudge also remained unavenged. The spider people scowled at Philip’s disrespect, which was simply outrageous. The other races laughed gloatingly. The spider people had always been arrogant and domineering, preventing their developme
“I'm afraid that the snake people will strike a deal with him and monopolize everything.” The old man anxiously led everyone in the direction of the snake people. They could not miss the chance to share a piece of the pie. However, he did not intend to tell his people about it. The other two races no longer existed in the outside world, so it did not matter if they could not leave. It would be best to let their legends fade away in history. That idea was very selfish. Just when he thought he could grab all the benefits by stealth, the snake people shared the information without keeping it a secret. However, the snake people only shared the news with the other two races. They did not have a good impression of the spider people and even had the idea of leaving them behind. When the spider people hurried over, they found a crowd. They saw not only the young ones of the snake people but also those from the other two races. The other two races were the turtles and magpies. Just li
The old man felt annoyed when he saw the two women not getting along. He knew that the holy maidens of the family would face a lot of struggles. Ambitious women would try every means to cause trouble just to destroy the status of the holy maidens. By doing so, they could find ways to replace them. It was an underhanded method but effective. After all, not everyone could cope with the distinguished status of the holy maiden. One mistake could be fatal. Therefore, a holy maiden had to be prideful and flawless, just like an untainted and pure white lotus. The old man nodded thoughtfully. He did not think that Arachne looked like the holy maiden, and his suspicions were confirmed. She was not the holy maiden at all. Actions spoke louder than words. Arachne did not carry a regal bearing, so she would not act like a queen even if she wore a crown. At first, the old man wondered why the spider family would choose someone so unbefitting for the role of the holy maiden. Now that
At this point, an old man walked over. Although they usually maintained their true form, they sometimes took on a human form. Unlike the snake people who did not look very different between the two forms, the spider people looked outrageous in their true forms. “Are you one of the younger generation from outside?” The old man was curious to see the younger children's arrival at this place today. As someone who could not wait to make an impression, Arachne rushed forward and began to introduce herself. In short, Arachne was gradually taking over Ariadna’s position. Although the others were annoyed, they did not say anything because Arachne was really putting in some effort. There was no point in arguing about such things. The most important thing was to remove their curse. The old man was very excited and could not wait to welcome them. “This is wonderful. It has been thousands of years since we saw an outsider!” His eyes gleamed with excitement. “Tell me how you got in,” he
