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
“Sure enough, ignorance is bliss. This newbie has no idea what’s waiting for him.” “Lyle is quite powerful, but I’m afraid that’s the end of the road for him.” “I wonder what those people will do to him. I know that person in charge. I heard that he went to another continent recently and will probably be back soon!” Philip overheard everyone’s comments as they spoke. His guess was right. With Lyle’s quick temper, he would never give the other party a chance. “That guy was so lousy. I’ve never seen such a loser before.” Lyle shrugged helplessly, but he was excitedly waiting for his next round. Otto was worried and wanted to remind Philip. “Philip, to be honest, that guy is a force to be reckoned with. I’ve heard of his relative. It seems that he has a high status and is very protective of his people. I’m afraid that this time…” He glanced at Lyle and hesitated to carry on. Philip asked Otto to speak his mind. “I’m afraid your people will be in trouble for messing wit
Otto’s apprentice had always kept a low profile and never revealed his identity to the public, so Deadly Arena thought that he was just an ordinary guy. His fate was sealed because he tried to make money here without any power to support him. “My apprentice ended up dead because of that wicked conspiracy, and his family members also died because they didn’t receive treatment in time. I wasn’t aware of it at that time. By the time I found out, it was too late!” Otto was helpless and regretful. “That guy is simply disgusting. It’s good that Lyle sought justice for you.” Philip nodded with satisfaction. Lyle had done something right. Otto looked at Philip, shocked by his reaction. Philip was not scared of the person in charge at all. “Aren’t you afraid that he’ll come after Lyle?” Otto glanced at the jubilant Lyle and felt that they should do something about it. Philip nodded calmly. “It’s just a small matter, nothing to be afraid of.” At this time, Lyle urged Philip to
Although everyone was shocked by Lyle's performance, they knew he would not live long. Messing with the people behind Deadly Arena was simply ridiculous. “Hurry up and place your bets. I have a feeling that this rookie will lose the match.” The bet started again, and Philip's eyes flashed with anticipation. He knew that it was time for him to make a fortune. Lyle and the others quickly placed their bets. They knew that Philip would never lose the match, so they were ready to make a fortune. Most people chose his opponent. They knew that Philip would never win. A young man in a bodysuit with no expression on his face approached Philip quickly. He looked very fierce, just like a beast. Philip stood in the arena and looked around silently. He felt a little excited instead of nervous. He had enough confidence and believed that he could stand out from the crowd. The young man in black looked about the same age as Lyle. He was not tall and seemed a little malnourished, but he w
It would be perfect if Dane caught anyone’s eye. Therefore, not only did he have to defeat Philip but also win openly. More importantly, he had to display his strong abilities and show the guilds that he was the best candidate to become their member. Thinking of this, he looked at Philip with a strong fighting spirit. “Let’s cut to the chase. Since you don't want to choose, I’ll do it for you.” Hearing no response from Philip, Dane swung his sword and attacked Philip. Countless black shadows appeared on the spot and attacked Philip. Philip was surprised to sense Dane’s powerful strength. He was very aggressive and used such a powerful move right at the start. In fact, Dane usually preferred to use various methods to slowly torture the opponent instead of his strongest deadly move like this. To show off his strength this time, however, he was ready to take down his opponent in one move. Philip felt this display and smiled. He knew that the person in front of him should not
Everyone looked at the arena with curiosity and interest. “The guy who just went onto the arena is quite powerful. There’s definitely more to him than meets the eye. You should keep a close eye on him.” An old man in a hidden viewing platform spoke with satisfaction. He pointed at Philip expectantly as if he had high hopes in him. Many old men around turned their attention to Philip too. “Indeed, he’s the strongest contender I’ve seen so far. He’s so fast that he can probably kill Dane in seconds.” “Yes, I have a feeling that he has many tricks up his sleeve. He wouldn’t have done this without the skills to back him up.” “You guys have been fooled by this kid. He can’t be that good or he wouldn’t be wasting his time here. Isn’t it easier to kill Dane?” Everyone had different opinions and bickered incessantly. Some people thought Philip was good and worth considering while others thought he was a loser. Meanwhile, the two contenders on stage were running around the arena
“I was smart enough to hold back on the bet this time, so I didn’t lose too much money.” “You’re lucky. I put in everything I had, but this is the result. I’m so unlucky.” Everyone spoke about it and wondered if they should employ a different method in the next round of bets. Some people even suspected that this was a ploy staged by Deadly Arena to cheat some money out of them. “Why would they stage this? They can’t be that bold.” “Philip will definitely encounter various opponents next, and he’ll lose for sure, so we don’t have to worry about it.” They knew what to do next. They just had to place their bets well. Many people had mixed opinions about Philip. Most of them simply thought that Philip was just lucky. “Young man, it’s good enough that you can beat Dane, but you’ll be facing stronger opponents if you want to continue fighting. Why don’t you take a break before fighting again?” the host said nervously. He thought Philip was quite good. Philip waved his hand.
Seeing Philip winning one match after another, the old men on the viewing platform were in horrified disbelief. “How could this happen? Why is he so strong? This is unbelievable.” “We need to give him stronger opponents. We can’t let him win again. Our reputation will be affected at this rate.” Several old men quickly came up with a plan to stop Philip at all costs. In Deadly Arena, Philip stood with his hands behind his back and looked at the people around him. Everyone stared at Philip nervously without a word. Dozens of meters away, the arrogant guy howled in misery. He had been seriously injured. All the bones in his body were broken, and some bones protruded at the joints. He was horrified. He could not figure out how Philip was strong enough to beat him into this state with one punch. Even the strongest opponent he had ever met could not achieve this. The old men on the hidden viewing platform discussed this matter. They knew that something very important might ha
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
