Before the two of them got too far, Philip suddenly heard a man’s voice. “Stop!” Philip turned back and found a man standing behind him. The man’s face was fleshy and ferocious looking with no trace of friendliness at all. He stared at Philip and said, “Everyone is asking you about the situation in the Devil’s Courtyard, but you’re acting all high and mighty. We’re asking you because we think highly of you. Do you have to be so pretentious?” He was not polite at all, and Philip narrowed his eyes as a chill flashed across his face. The Heroes Conference had not even started yet, and this place was already packed with a mix of people. However, the more this happened, the more confused Philip felt. He wondered why the people who held the Heroes Conference gathered all these people here. At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out. “Everyone, please calm down and listen to me…” It was an old man with a kind face who looked at everyone with a smile. “I’m the manager of the Heroes Conference. Although the Heroes Conference has not started yet, it’s my fault for not taking good care of everyone.” After saying this, he waved his hand, and the originally grand arena began to change. The ground suddenly split open, and a towering building emerged. This building glowed with many lights, but Philip could see clearly that these were all high-tech products that were combined into the magic circle. “Let me talk about the rules of the Heroes Conference now. This is just the first audition… No matter which level of difficulty you’re assigned to, you must pass the final test before you can participate in the actual Heroes Conference.”
Hearing that, everyone was taken aback for a moment. No one expected such a complicated procedure to participate in the Heroes Conference. Philip suddenly felt sorry for the swordsman. He had been trapped in the Devil’s Courtyard all his life and had not even participated in the actual Heroes Conference yet. He had been trapped in that illusion for so long. Thinking of this, Philip suddenly felt chills up his spine. He knew that the so-called reward after getting the ranking would definitely not be easy to obtain. The old man continued to say, “I know that everyone is a great talent. If you have to fight for whatever reasons, we can provide a life-and-death arena for you to fight, but if you want to disturb the order here, we won’t let the matter slide so easily.” Hearing that, the ferocious-looking man just now was startled. He knew very well who the old man was talking about. Philip remained silent. He knew the old man was afraid that someone would disrupt the venue here. The changes in the venue just now, including the towering building that emerged out of the ground, showed that everything here was a conspiracy. However, at this moment, the man with a ferocious face suddenly said loudly, “What if I don’t want to go to the life-and-death arena?”
