How could the secular practice world produce any experts? However, things were different now. After Philip battled through the arena, they realized there were experts in the secular practice world too. However, their worry and respect were only given to Philip. They still looked down on others. Not everyone in this world could be Philip. There was no way there could be so many freaks. It was good enough to have one genius who could fight beyond his level! Plus the stoic man named Fennel next to Philip, there were only two of them. If the people of the reclusive practice world stood united, no one would be afraid of them. Maurice scowled at Philip’s remark. He was surprised that Philip was connected to the Smith Guild. “Are you saying that the young leader of the Smith Guild is your friend?” Maurice asked. He heard that the young leader of the Smith Guild was very beautiful, far better than the women in the reclusive practice world. She was also very proficient i
Judging from the way Maurice spoke to Philip, he did not want to offend the latter. “I had no idea that Delia was your friend!” Maurice was shocked that Philip had taken the first advantage over the woman who caught his eye. He refused to believe Philip's nonsense about Delia being his friend. To Maurice, it was more important to get Philip's alchemy skills and Delia, but everything had to be done in stages. “You don’t know many things. I heard that you want to take over the Smith Guild by force.” Philip cut to the chase without showing him any respect. Maurice scowled. He thought he was on good terms with Philip, but Philip was so shameless about it. Seeing that snobby look on Philip’s face, Maurice hated himself for his inability to kill Philip. This guy had to be taught a good lesson for his audacity. “I didn’t mean that. Since we just entered this world, I wanted to visit the Smith Guild!” Delia rushed to Philip's side. She was very unhappy with the disgus
Maurice was very jealous. Even though he was the leader of a guild, he had no monster beast as his mount. Who was Philip to own one? He felt upset about it, but he was also a little worried after seeing Philip's true strength. To own such a powerful monster beast as a pet, Philip had to belong to a strong family. In that case, Maurice could not afford to mess with Philip. Thinking of this, he smiled brightly at Philip. They could either be friends or enemies. If the former was an option, he would not choose to become enemies with Philip. There was no point in adding a powerful enemy to his life. Philip quickly understood Maurice’s intention when his expression changed from a hypocritical fake smile to a somewhat flattering smile. Aslan’s intimidation was quite the deterrent. Normal practitioners could never hope to have monster beasts as mounts. It was good enough if they could catch a few monster beasts with low intelligence, which could only act primarily as m
At least, not Delia. Although the Smith Guild was no match for a reclusive guild, they had their status and foundation too. A large guild would never give in so easily! “Since we have cleared up the misunderstanding, we shall take our leave!” Maurice left with his people. He would suffer if he remained here. He could do nothing except to be ridiculed by Philip. The members of the Smith Guild smiled brightly as the other party left. They never dreamed that they could see the dawn of victory. More importantly, the guy named Philip who appeared out of nowhere seemed very powerful. Maybe he could help the Smith Guild out of this crisis. Everyone was very happy and took turns to thank Philip. Although they did not know him, they were still very grateful to him. Philip felt a little embarrassed by their enthusiasm. “You don’t have to thank me. You should be grateful to Delia. If Delia hadn't tried her best to find me, I wouldn't have known that the Pill Guild has seiz
At this time, some people looked at Delia curiously. They did not know Philip at first, but in hindsight, the name sounded familiar. They recalled what Delia had done some time ago. She had shown off to everyone the ring she received from Philip, and Philip had also prepared a precious storage ring for her father. She could not stop talking about Philip, who seemed like her sweetheart. Unexpectedly, they saw him in person today. Everyone looked at Philip with great interest, which puzzled Philip. He had no idea what they were thinking and felt a little creeped out by their gazes. “Hey Philip, don’t stay here. Come with me!” Delia felt a little shy and quickly led Philip to the guild leader's reception room. Although Emery was exhausted physically and mentally, he felt amused at this scene. It was Philip who saved him in the end! He had a good impression of Philip, but he never thought that Philip would save him. “Philip, thank you very much. I really don't kno
“Delia, what's wrong with you? Are your eyes alright? Why don’t you take a break?” Emery asked with great concern. Delia’s health was very important. Her expression changed, and Emery knew he made a mistake. He suddenly felt enlightened and understood her meaning. Delia was telling him not to shoot his mouth away. “Ahem, don’t worry, Delia. I won’t say the wrong thing and embarrass you.” Emery blinked at Delia smugly. Delia felt like she was going to die of anger. Delia wanted her father to take advantage of this great opportunity to propose her marriage to Philip, but Emery completely misunderstood her. In desperation, Delia had no choice but to bury these emotions in her heart. They arrived at the reception room, and Philip had a lot to say to them. Seeing Emery’s obvious fatigue, Philip handed him a pill. “Take this. You’ll feel much better,” Philip said with a smile. Emery’s physical injuries would recover after taking this healing pill. Emery glanced at
At this time, Emery was surprised to find that his injuries had healed. He was aware of the extent of his injuries. He would never have followed them to the reception room if he did not want to put up a strong front for Delia’s sake. He had been struggling. However, Philip's seemingly ordinary pill actually healed his injuries. Emery changed his view about Philip. At first, he thought Philip was a young talent and a man worth following. Now, he felt that Philip was not human. He was a god. Only a god could come up with such an amazing pill. Emery stood up and knelt to Philip. Philip was shocked by Emery’s actions. Delia and Aslan were dumbfounded too. Kneeling was an extremely sincere way of expressing gratitude no matter where they were. Philip was confused. He simply got rid of the Pill Guild, but the problem was not completely resolved yet. Why would Emery make such a grand gesture? Philip quickly helped Emery up. Emery looked at Philip and grabbed th
In a nutshell, victory was in sight, and there was no way the Pill Guild would choose to back off that easily. Although Emery knew that they would eventually make a comeback, it was a matter of time. Given enough time, even a piece of metal could turn into a fine sword. “Did you make the pill just now?” Emery solemnly asked Philip. He knew that Philip was that talent. Philip was the one who could lead the Smith Guild to glory. Philip did not deny it. Since he gave Emery a pill, it proved that he had acknowledged Emery. Philip could hardly develop a force on his own. His initial thought was to build his force from scratch. However, that was easier said than done. Although time passed in the blink of an eye to a practitioner, it would take at least several decades to groom a worthy pool of practitioners. Rather than wasting time grooming them slowly, it was better to take over an existing force. Besides, Philip did not intend to take the Smith Guild as his own. He
