To be on the safe side, Mason could only bring ten people with him. “Don’t worry, I’ll figure it out and won’t let you down. Don’t forget your promise to improve my strength after this,” Mason reminded Sienna expectantly as if he could already see himself getting stronger and crushing Philip. Mason used to be on the advanced list, but due to his talent for making weapons, he focused on this aspect and neglected other areas. Sienna nodded with a smile, and the hint of sarcasm in her eyes quickly vanished. “Don’t worry, if you can find the Binary Herb to improve my strength, I won’t forget you.” Sienna's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning as if she was planning something. Mason took up weaponsmithing later in his life, so he was not very knowledgeable in many areas. He did not know anything about the legendary Binary Herb. Other professional alchemists or weaponsmiths would definitely lament if they knew about this. Sienna chose to work with Mason because of his ignorance
“Will this lady join us? That's great. We need a companion like her!” “Don't be afraid, young lady. We’ll protect you at all costs!” “We wouldn't have wasted so much time if we’d known such a beautiful lady would be joining us. Let’s set off right away!” Everyone smiled brightly at the sight of such a beautiful woman. Sienna smiled at everyone and waved indifferently. “I’ll be going to the underwater world with you. If you perform well, I can consider…” At this point, Sienna puffed a breath at everyone, and all the whiners fell under her spell. It was as if Sienna had controlled them, and no one dared to disobey her. “Dear warriors, I want to find the Binary Herb in the underwater world. Can you help me?” Sienna smiled expectantly as everyone fell under her control. “Don't worry, we’ll definitely enter the underwater world and find the Binary Herb for you.” “I’ll do everything I can to bring it back for you, even if it costs my life!” Some people took out their family
Hearing that, everyone looked at Philip curiously, wondering what it was. “Is that the legendary Water-Repelling Orb? That’s amazing!” Aslan and the others were very knowledgeable and quickly mentioned the name. Philip nodded and said, “As long as you hold it in your hands, the water won’t pose a threat to you.” Philip knew that half of the problem would be solved once they could breathe normally underwater. Everyone they brought was elite among elites, whether his men or Yule’s men. Things would be different once they could move freely. Philip and his party were so fast that Mason and his party could not catch up, allowing Philip to take the head start. “Philip, did you go through a lot of trouble to get this?” Lyle was surprised. He had heard of the Water-Repelling Orb. It was considered a rare treasure for ordinary people but useless for practitioners. This item would not play any role unless they had to visit a dangerous place such as the King's Ruins. “They're a
Yule once thought highly of his strength and came to this area when he was a brash young man. “I jumped into the sea without hesitation and soon had difficulty breathing. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and climbed ashore in time or I would've been buried in this seabed by now!” Yule felt a lingering fear. Although he had Philip's Water-Repelling Orb in hand, he was still apprehensive. As a practitioner, it would be too embarrassing to drown in this strange sea. Philip noticed his fear and patted Aslan on the shoulder. “Give them a demonstration to put their minds at ease.” Philip winked at Aslan. Aslan and the others jumped into the sea and entered the depths, coming out again after ten minutes. “It feels pretty good,” Aslan said with a smile, swimming around happily as if he did not feel any pressure at all. “As expected of the Water-Repelling Orb made by Philip, the effect is simply wonderful.” Philip's men jumped into the water and swam around freely. Seeing that,
“Mr. Yule!” Although they did not know why Yule was there, they greeted him. “I’m surprised that Deadly Arena sent you to work for this guy. Don’t you know what a loser he is? You’d better watch out and don’t mess with my guys or I won’t let you off.” After saying that, Yule jumped into the sea with his men. Mason snorted as Yule vanished from his sight. “In that case, one pill won’t be enough.” He knew that they would definitely fight if they met at the bottom of the sea. Although he did not know how the other party could breathe underwater, he had to be cautious. “I’ll give all of you another pill each. Keep it safe. We have to find the Binary Herb at all costs!” Mason distributed the pills reluctantly. He was heartbroken and felt he had made a huge loss this time. He could exploit these people if there were no enemies to hinder him, but this situation did not allow for it. Mason hated Yule to the core for his disgusting behavior. “Sure enough, there are no good peo
There was a large platform ahead of them that gave them a sense of comfort. “Philip, are you mistaken? I don’t see anything wrong around us, and I think I can already breathe on my own after arriving on this big platform,” Lyle said in surprise, excited by this finding. “Since we can breathe in this place, our preparations are useless,” Lyle added in puzzlement. Philip shook his head and said, “This place is very strange. We should be careful. We may get into trouble if we drop our guard.” Everyone approached the platform and basked in that comfortable feeling. “Sure enough, it feels more comfortable than breathing on land. This is amazing.” Everyone squeezed their clothes dry. They had never felt so miserable before. As practitioners, handling such matters had always been easy. Ordinary things such as water could not touch them at all. However, this seabed was very strange and drenched everyone to the skin. “Let’s move along this sea area and maybe we can figure out th
“Mr. Yule is having the time of his life now. I heard that he has gained immense power. In short, we can't afford to offend him. I think we should think twice about this.” Although Mason was in charge of them for the time being, they were somewhat indignant about it. This guy had no ability but wanted to control them. What a joke. However, they wanted to find the Binary Herb for their goddess. On the other hand, it was difficult for them to fight head-on against Yule. “You losers don’t even have an ounce of courage. What’s the big deal with Yule? Once our mission succeeds, I guarantee that Yule can only kneel in front of you and beg for mercy.” Mason promised them many things. He knew that they simply wanted more benefits, not that they were too afraid. “After this is over, I’ll make a powerful weapon for each of you, something worth your while. Don’t worry about it.” Mason managed to convince them with empty promises. Everyone smiled brightly and knew that the plan went we
Mason did not think the herbs looked valuable. He would have treated them as weeds and ignored them. Of course, his attention was not on the weeds but on Philip. “Damn it, you’re so persistent. I’m surprised to see you here.” Mason scowled. Mason subconsciously wanted to run away at the sight of Philip. The fear Philip caused him was too strong. Philip sneered at Mason and said, “I’m surprised to see you alive. I thought you were dead.” Indeed, Philip was surprised. Nothing happened to Mason on that terrifying snake island, and he returned in victory instead. He was too lucky for words. “Bad luck will only change for the better. It’s time to teach you a lesson now. Are you ready?” Mason said vehemently, hating Philip to the core. Yule watched on the sidelines, while Mason’s party sneered without a word. With various conflicts within Deadly Arena, Yule knew he could not control these people. “Since you’re so confident, let’s have a competition.” Philip did not intend to
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
Philip nodded. That was his intention too. It would be best if Carlos did all the work for him. After getting Philip's consent, Carlos rushed out excitedly. He took the booklet to Jamie. Esther and Jamie were discussing the plan of operation. “You have to catch hold of Philip. I finally got you here. Don't let us down. It’s best if you can trick Philip into joining our guild!” Jamie persuaded Esther, hoping she could trick Philip into joining the guild. Esther sighed helplessly. She knew what she should do, but Philip was clearly not buying it. She was not as pretty as Celeste, and she had this curse on her, so she could not hold her head high at all. At this time, Carlos rushed over in a panic. “Why are you in such a hurry? You’re already a father, but you’re still so impulsive—just like a child who never grows up!” Jamie sighed helplessly at Carlos’ behavior. Carlos was like a brother who grew up with him, and the two of them had always had a good relationship. Carlos w
Carlos thought Philip would do something to him, but Philip simply handed him something he took out of his pocket. “Try practicing this technique.” After Philip handed him the item, he stared at Carlos, waiting for the result. Carlos was relieved to hear it. He had thought Philip was going to do something to him, but it turned out that Philip simply wanted Carlos to try a technique out. Carlos smiled and shook his head. “We can’t practice other techniques different from our own unless someone can make improvements to our existing technique. Only then do we have the chance to learn something new. But do you know how difficult it is to improve a technique?” Carlos smiled helplessly. Their people had been trying to improve their technique forever. After all, the side effects of the technique were simply annoying, but it was easier said than done. Their predecessors had been studying it for years but to no avail. They had no choice but to give up. Now, only one elder was resp
“Since she’s one of your people, she can stay, but don’t try to do anything,” Philip said. Philip glanced at the holy maiden. Before he could say anything else, something appeared in his mind. It was the technique she practiced. Philip had no idea what happened. He had merely glanced at her when her technique appeared in his mind. Although it was weird, Philip did not think it was a bad thing. Instead, he was happy. He knew that it was a special ability. Thinking of this, Philip was in a good mood. He went back to his room after excusing himself. He wanted to study the technique carefully. It would be best if he could discover something. The holy maiden watched indignantly as Philip left. Jamie knew that Celeste’s biggest advantage was her looks. She was so beautiful that the holy maiden felt the pressure. “Stay here with peace of mind and treat it as your own home. No need for formalities,” Celeste said to them with a smile as if she were the mistress of the house. Jam
Philip waved his hand. That was not what he meant. At this time, Celeste walked out of her room. She had fallen in love with cooking and always immersed herself in the kitchen, figuring out different recipes. In the past, Celeste lived alone in the gloomy forest without freedom or friends. After meeting Philip, she became more vibrant. Celeste would feel a sense of achievement whenever Philip ate the food she cooked. Seeing her, Philip greeted Celeste and introduced the visitors to her. “I don’t need a maid. I already have someone to take care of the household chores. Thank you for your kindness,” Philip said with a smile. Celeste had been doing a good job, so Philip did not think he needed another woman to take care of him. The more women around, the more trouble there would be. The holy maiden froze in surprise at the sight of such a beautiful woman around Philip. Although she was not ugly, she had to live with this ugly appearance until her marriage because of that nas
“That’s enough. Stop talking about me. You might as well think about how to deal with Hogster and the others. The Hexa Guild will definitely come after you.” Philip greeted Jamie calmly without taking the incident seriously at all. Seeing his reaction, Jamie thought that Philip was more and more unfathomable. The Hexa Guild was making a big fuss over this case. Many guilds had accepted the Hexa Guild’s gifts and now stood in opposition to the Celestial Palace. Although this matter had nothing to do with those guilds at all, they accepted the Hexa Guild's gifts in exchange for hyping the news up. It would be best if the two guilds fought. Maybe they could take advantage of the situation in the process! The other major guilds were waiting to watch the excitement too. They hoped that the Celestial Palace would be affected by this incident and it would maybe result in them losing the guild competition. Philip was also quite interested in the guild competition but was more curious
