That was because the ancient ruin in White Imperial City was quite famous, and many
people would enter it by then. If Philip went there, it was likely that he would become
enemies with some of them.
This matter troubled Philip.
At this point, Philip shook his head and turned to look at Cora. He would think about it
later. Anyway, he had time before the ancient ruin in White Imperial City opened.
"Are you sure you want to compete with me?" Philip looked at Cora with a frown.
To be fair, Cora was a really nice little girl, and Philip was reluctant to hurt her.
Since Cora was a sealed genius, her ability could not be that bad, and Philip might be

could not control perfectly. It would be bad if he hurt Cora by mistake.
After all, she was someone he wanted to subdue, and she was at the age where her level
would improve rapidly, and her comprehension was clear. He needed Cora to gain a firm
foothold at this age and become his aide in the future.
Cora looked at Philip indifferently, and all her previous cuteness disappeared, replaced by
calmness and serenity.
"If you want to subdue me, it's impossible to do so if you don't go all out."
Philip immediately understood that a fight was inevitable!
He shook his head and sighed with a look of helplessness on his face.
"If you feel that you can't hang on anymore, just admit defeat. I don't want to hurt you."
Cora's face darkened in an instant, and she looked at Philip with hostility.
She was a genius of her generation, after all-a top talent of her era. As a mage, her ability
was extraordinary.
However, the other party told her to admit defeat?
Not to mention that she did not think she would lose. Even if she did, she would never
admit defeat after that remark!
Philip's plan had backfired on him this time.
"Cut the crap and just do it!" Cora said with a scowl.
Philip sighed. He regained his composure, and a chilling aura spread from him. He knew
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthat Cora was no ordinary person, so he would not underestimate her.
"You can make the first move. After all, I'm the one who wants to subdue you. It's always
more advantageous to take the first move," Philip said calmly.
Hearing this, Cora could not hold back her anger anymore. She conjured a huge ice pick
that charged at Philip.
Philip raised his eyebrows when he saw the ice pick. This ice pick had at least the attack
power in the middle stage of nine stars.
This was an instant magic used by Cora, though it was not a particularly powerful move.
Even so, Cora's strength was clearly displayed with this move.
On the other hand, Philip stood quietly on the spot, watching as the ice pick approached.
He shook his head and raised his palm. The laws of fire covered his palm and clashed with
the ice pick.
