“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
Philip certainly knew the workings behind such things, so he never bet with strangers. “Wow, that young man really went on stage. I think he looks very confident!” “Is that kid in his teens? He’s quite good to have reached that level, but his opponent may not be a good person!” Everyone thought Lyle looked pretty good and should be a good candidate for grooming. However, it would be bad if he encountered a ruthless opponent. Some people simply killed without qualms. Although such methods were appalling, it was not uncommon. Most practitioners were courteous and would act within certain limits without stepping out of the line. Lyle quickly stepped on stage. He greeted everyone excitedly and felt satisfied with this extreme challenge. At this time, Lyle’s opponent appeared on stage too. After seeing Lyle's opponent, everyone looked regretful as if they felt sorry for Lyle. They clearly knew Lyle’s opponent quite well. Philip asked the people around him to find out more
The onlookers placed their bets on the brutal middle-aged man. Philip saw the other party's name at this time—Conquistador. It was an impressive name, but he wondered if this person could live up to it. The fight quickly started, and all bets were off. Lyle tested the opponent’s strength and quickly relaxed after confirming he had nothing to worry about. “Hmph, I thought you were very strong by the looks of your aggressive appearance,” Lyle sneered and taunted Conquistador. Conquistador frowned with displeasure. “Huh, you look like a newbie so I’ll tell you something. My family is related to the people behind Deadly Arena. Don’t try to push your luck if you want to stay alive,” he noticed Lyle’s oblivious appearance and reminded him. No one ever dared to kill him because of his identity and reminder. Deadly Arena was a huge force. One had to follow the rules if one wanted to make money from this place. “Oh,” Lyle responded and sighed helplessly. He wondered what Philip
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
