“My grandmaster’s energy is pretty depleted. In the early years, I could only stay by his side and learn something, but I never received any guidance from him,” Regus said solemnly.
Philip was even more curious and asked, “His energy is depleted?”
“Oh, I see… Your teacher, the Great Holy Polo, hasn’t been affected by energy depletion yet. Even the lives of great holy beings and holy beings will come to an end someday. In the later years, they have to use energy stones and energy crystals to replenish their energy. The great holy being in my family is in such a condition. He’s in seclusion all year round and never moves around.”
Philip was enlightened by Regus’ explanation. It seemed that his bragging had reached another level without his knowing.
After chatting briefly with Regus, they bid goodbye.

That night, after walking around for a while, Philip stepped into Tanner’s small yard.
He held a liquor bottle in his hand and took a sip of it from time to time.
Tanner sat upright in the middle of the small yard with a chess game in front of him. He was playing against himself.
“The Schonberg Ancient Ruin will open tomorrow. Why are you drinking at my place instead of taking up a good position there?”
Tanner did not turn to Philip when favonovel.com spoke.
Philip did not reply either, drinking as favonovel.com looked at the starry sky on the Starfall Continent.
“Why do you think that forbidden place is called Sin Capital? What sin did the people there commit? In fact, I’m also quite curious to find out how charming my mother is that a bachelor like you is willing to stay here for so many years.”
Philip spoke mindlessly, half-drunk. He said some groundless remarks.
Tanner did not reply to Philip’s words but threw a jade token that was placed by the table to Philip.
“Your contenders’ information is all inside. If you can’t beat them, just run away,” Tanner said hesitantly.
“Don’t worry. My teacher, the Great Holy Polo, is invincible in this world. Who dares to mess with me?” Philip said heartily.
He had never been worried about this.
“If someone bothers to investigate, they’ll know that you’re not his apprentice at all. The Great Holy Polo has never accepted an apprentice, and his whereabouts are also unknown. If those people find out that you’re trying to pull the wool over their eyes, they won’t let you off.”
Philip was startled. He was just bragging without thinking.
How could there really be a Great Holy Polo?
He shook his head involuntarily. “Do you know anything about that black-robed man? That guy seems very difficult to deal with.”
Tanner said to Philip calmly, “He won’t have that overwhelming power in the Schonberg Ancient Ruin. That place doesn’t allow any mechas or warcraft. Even if you bring them, they won’t work.”
“Are you saying he’s so strong because of technology?” Philip asked.
“Otherwise, how could favonovel.com control other people and make them his subordinates?”
After Tanner told favonovel.com about the man in black, Philip breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, things did not progress the way favonovel.com imagined.
Philip jumped down from the fence and placed his liquor bottle on the table in front of Tanner. He took out the Nine-Star Supreme Token and hung it on his waist before leaving the yard without looking back.
Tanner stared at the liquor bottle blankly for a while. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and a tear dripped from the corner of his eye.
This was going to be a sleepless night.
Not long after Philip walked out of the small yard, someone followed him.
Celestial General Cabot stood in front of Philip with two liquor bottles in his hands.
