“Gentlemen, could you spare me for the sake of my family and your family? Our families were close back then. And we just came in, you don’t want to kill me, right?” Nikini sighed aloud in her heart, cursing for the bad luck she had today. It was already hard to participate in the tournament. She came to this tournament in hopes to improve herself and assess which level she was at, however, she did not expect to be targeted like that. Moreover, were not these three people too lucky? They actually found a Woods out here effortlessly. “There’s nothing I can do, little beauty. Our families ‘were’ close. But now? Before we departed for the tournament, our master has repeatedly reminded us not to spare anyone from the Woods family if we meet them on the way, especially those who are traveling on their own.” One of the men scoffed devilishly and studied Nikini carefully. “Little beauty, you actually have a hot body. Why didn’t I remember there’s such a pretty genius from the Woods fam
Nonetheless, a shocking incident had happened. The Lagorio who was at the middle stage of the semi-god realm was blown away by Sally’s punch effortlessly and smashed onto the ground with a mouth of blood spurting out of his mouth. He was badly injured. “No…no way! This strength… You’re at the late stage of the semi-god realm!” The color drained out of his face after spitting out a mouthful of blood. His face turned unsightly and he was extremely shocked in his heart. The strength that Sally possessed right now was definitely not of the strength of the middle stage of the semi-god realm! “Bingo! I broke through to the late stage of the semi-god realm a few days ago! So, now you can go to hell in peace!” Sally sneered coldly. She flipped her palm, a fine sword appeared in her grip, and she appeared in front of the man in a flash and swung her sword. “What the f*ck!” The other two men looked at each other, and both were frightened down to the soles of their shoes. Their legs
“Hold on! Let’s search their martial rings and see if there’s any treasure in it!” Nikini quickly thought of something, ran over to the three dead bodies quickly, and took down their martial rings. “Eh? Not bad! There are a few healing pills and a few first-grade spirited grass. Wait, what’s this? Jesus! There’re two black tokens in this guy’s ring! We found treasure!” Nikini exclaimed loudly as she took out the treasures from the rings and handed them to Sally. “Sis Sally, thank you for saving me! These treasures all belong to you! They’re your spoils of war!” “You’re giving me everything? Nah, let’s share them! Whoever participates gets to share, right? Hehe. Besides, with these spirited grass, you can break through to the next level sooner!” Sally was polite; she did not take them all but took only half of the treasures and handed them to Nikini. She had even shared one of the black tokens with Nikini. “You keep the tokens. My combat prowess is not as strong as you, it’s
From the faint aura that was coming from the python, Fane could instantly conclude that this python should be a monster beast that had power comparable to the early stage of the semi-god realm in the human world. It was surprising and shocking for such a monster beast to appear in this forest periphery. After all, this python was considered extremely rare and its strength and power were generally stronger than ordinary martial artists, especially those amateurs. In other words, a martial artist who was at the early stage of the semi-god realm would not be a match for such a monster beast, and even a martial artist with the strength of the middle stage of the semi-god realm might not be able to kill a monster beast of such power—early stage of the semi-god realm. Nonetheless, Fane had already broken through to the middle stage of the true-god realm, such a monster beast was nothing in his eyes. He clenched his fist, and with a flash, he appeared at the top of the python’s head, an
“Whatever you say!”Fane stretched his limbs and said, “You just came here and you’re so eager to snatch things away from others? What a pity. I’m no pushover!”“Heh. I’m the grandson of the second elder of the Zachary family and I am at the intermediate stage of the true god status. So if you’re smart enough, you’d just give up that stalk of spirited grass you just plucked. I’ll let you go!”The man from the Zachary family held a sword in a single hand and had a lofty aura about him. “The Zachary family is not on good terms with the Woods family, but we don’t have a sour relationship either. I won’t kill you as long as you give it to me. After all, it must have been difficult for you to become the heir to your master. It’d be a pity if you died here!”“You’re so confident even though you’re only at the intermediate stage of the true god status?”Fane shot upward in a flash. “How about this? You give your sword and everything you have, and I’ll spare your life because you offered
Haiden quickly felt that something was amiss. Small cracks began to run across his veil, and it was going to give way soon.“No way. There’s no way I can’t beat a punk from the mortal realm!”Haiden cried out. At the same time, the cracks on the shield around his body grew bigger and bigger, then it shattered into dust.Bang!A frightening noise rang out. The next second, Haiden had been thrown back as if he was a stringless kite. He landed heavily against a tree.The tree toppled over from the impact. Haiden spewed out blood, and his face went pale. He gritted his teeth and hauled himself to his feet. Another spurt of blood escaped his mouth. He dug his sword into the ground and steadied himself.Fane flew over nonchalantly, appearing before Haiden with a small smile on his face.“You have good talent, Haiden Zachary!”Fane smiled and added, “It would be a real pity to kill you right here. It must have been difficult to train yourself to be this strong!”The corners of Haid
Fane could not be bothered to respond to him. He turned around and slowly flew away, leaving behind only these words, “This medication of mine to cure wounds should be much better than yours. Best that you treat yourself as soon as possible, or don’t blame me for wounding you when you die in a fight against prodigies from the Hunt family when you bump into them!”Haiden Zachary was still rooted on the spot even as Fane left, dazed as he wondered if everything was a lucid dream. After all, he was the one who secretly attacked and looked down on Fane. He never thought the other party would not seize his belongings even after defeating him, and he even left Haiden some healing pills and spirited stones for him. “Is this pill poisonous?” mumbled Haiden as he eyed the small pill in his palm.He shook his head. Was this not unnecessary if Fane truly wanted to kill him? Would it not be much easier to just stab him with his sword?“Hmph. Let’s see if your medication is better than those
Hence, it was far more dangerous to roam at night as compared to daytime.All of a sudden…Thoom!Fane heard a loud frightening noise, sounding like a battle was happening nearby, and the fact that there were no howls from beasts meant that it was between the competitors.With that deduction, Fane flew to the source of the sound. Arriving on top of a small slope, he hid among the bushes and looked toward the bottom of the hill slope.“Helena Cabello?” A beautiful figure soon appeared in Fane’s line of sight, and his expression slowly changed as he felt his feelings meshing altogether.This woman was almost 30 years old, two years older than Fane, yet she was not married. She had lied how Fane was her boyfriend when Second Young Master Hunt pestered her, wanting him to give up.Never was it foreseen that her choice would further complicate things and make it difficult to explain themselves. They could only bite the bullet and continue the lie.Fane had already thought about it
There was a heavy rumbling as the door slowly opened. A boundless sense of energy seemed to come from it.A few of them looked inside. Other than the green light, they could see nothing. The light completely obscured their sight. If they wanted to look inside, they would have to step in themselves.On the way there, Fane had already talked to Lourain about it. Lourain wanted to see what the legendary Valley of Enlightenment was like. That was why Fane asked for two spots.The three of them exchanged looks with each other, and they did not hesitate to step forward together, entering the door.The power of distorting space suddenly pulled the three of them in. The space around them started to spin rapidly. They did not know how much time passed, but it felt like a whole century before the space slowed down in front of them. Then, the sense of weightlessness disappeared as their feet landed on solid ground.The three of them had not been sent to different locations and arrived at the
Zayne scoffed, "Alright then, how do you want to work together?"He wanted to see what Fane was trying to do.Fane did not waste any time, "Both of us have all three keys, and we can open the door. Ten people can enter the door anyway. I just need two of those spots.Zayne looked at Fane meaningfully, "You sure know quite a bit."Fane even knew that only ten people would be allowed through. He seemed to have done his homework.Zayne took out his purple key from his storage ring. At that moment, all three keys were there. As long as all the keys were placed together, the gateway to the Valley of Enlightenment would open."If you only need two spots, then I don't mind working with you," Zayne looked at Fane meaningfully, but he quickly added, "However, make sure you don't cause any trouble during the important moments."Fane smiled before he said, "I've always been someone who keeps to my word. I'm more worried that you'll cause me trouble instead. There are many geniuses in the V
The two of them knew what that meant. Their eyes met, and worry was evident in their eyes."Is it Fane again?" Zayne said with a frown. At that moment, the first name that popped up in his head was Fane.Only Fane would truly be a big problem for them. Seymour's expression turned sour. He suddenly felt like Fane seemed to be his Achilles heel. Fane could pop out at any time and put him in a difficult spot."That's right! It's me!" At that moment, a voice was heard from afar. The two of them looked in the direction of the voice and saw five figures appearing in the air.This time, Fane did not have a disguise on. He was facing everyone with his real face."It really is you!" Zayne's face completely soured at that moment. Even if they were meeting for the first time, he was already incredibly sensitive to Fane's name.Nothing good ever happened when Fane was mentioned and Fane had actually appeared in front of him."How dare you!" Seymour shouted angrily!He walked forward to sta
When Shin and the others saw that, they were speechless. That person who had looked down on them was completely bound and on the ground at that moment. He looked pathetic.Fane quickly walked toward Warren, reaching out to pull off the mask to reveal his face.Fane controlled his energy, reducing the destructive power in Warren's soul. After the pain diminished, Warren slowly woke up.He looked up and saw the one person he never wanted to see in his life. He lost his voice as he said, "Fane?! It's you!" He almost bit his tongue as he spoke.Fane smiled and nodded slightly, "Yes. It’s me.""No wonder, so it's you! Where's Presti then?" Warren looked up and said.Fane raised an eyebrow and shot an incredulous look at Warren. Warren immediately understood what happened, and his whole face turned pale, "He's dead!"Fane nodded. There was nothing much to hide. Warren gulped, suddenly feeling like his thoughts from earlier were an absolute joke at that moment. He had even been think
After seeing that, there was a surprised look on Warren's face. However, he quickly pushed back that surprise. Even if that man was skilled, he would just be an above-average warrior. Above-average warriors were like paper to him!"Brat, it looks like you have some skill. However, that means nothing in front of me. I'll show you right now what a warrior at the peak is!"Right after he said that, he circulated his true energy around his feet. Red energy started to frantically blow away the dust on the ground. He lunged into the air incredibly fast.Fane raised an eyebrow before he started to form seals with his hands. Countless seals danced around in the air, and a chain appeared.That chain looked like a black dragon as it danced in the air.Warren scoffed in disdain. It was just a petty trick from an above-average warrior in his eyes. That chain would shatter in just one blow.He did not even bother thinking about it as he raised the sword in his hand. A silver ray of light quic
He leaped forward and landed in front of those four. Fane had already noticed Warren a while ago, but Fane relaxed when he saw Warren was alone. If it was just one person, then there was nothing to worry about!"Presti really is a piece of trash. He couldn't even get you!" Warren said with a sneer.Shin clutched his chest and turned to look at Cavill next to him. Cavill nodded slightly and did not say anything. The two of them shut their mouths at the same time as they looked in Fane's direction.Warren immediately felt something was wrong. He turned to look at Fane and saw that Fane was still completely calm as if nothing had happened."Brat, it looks like you're no ordinary person!" Warren said with a sneer.Fane turned to look at him before saying calmly, "Are you here to kill us?"Warren laughed out loud, and his eyes were full of mockery, "What do you think I'm doing here? Do I look like I'm here to chat?"Fane laughed. He could not believe another one turned up so soon aft
When Warren heard that, he felt incredibly exasperated. He mumbled, "It's just Shin, how could there be any trouble? Even if he has some fellow disciples with him, Presti is more than enough. They're all trash anyway."Zayne frowned, and he unleashed an incredibly strong aura that forced Warren to take a step back, "Shut up! Do you think we can afford to be careless right now? We're at the cusp of accomplishing everything right now. We have to be extremely careful. What kind of attitude is this?"Warren immediately shut up and did not dare to say anything. Zayne coldly looked at Warren, and deeply felt like Warren was not someone who could accomplish much. If it was not for the fact that he was useful, Zayne would not even bother bringing Warren through the door with him.Seymour turned to look into the distance. Gray mist filled up the skies, and no one could see the end of the horizon.There was nothing in the skies, and Seymour suddenly started to feel some worry. He was not clo
In front of an ancient stone door, two men were standing there, while another was sitting down and resting.The men who were standing had very stiff expressions on their faces. The two of them looked at each other with animosity in their eyes. It was obvious they were not friendly with each other. The man who was sitting down had his eyes shut and completely ignored the other two."Seymour! You're just the same as Desmond. You can't even get something so simple done. Desmond lost his life. I think you're about to follow suit!" Warren sneered as he mocked.Seymour's expression was dark, and he shot right back, "Warren, stop with those disgusting words of yours! Don't think I don't know what you're trying to do. You're just trying to push me down and take all the credit for yourself!"Stop joking around! You aren't smart enough to steal my credit! Even though Desmond is already dead, he still did the best he could. He was just tricked by Fane. If it was you, you wouldn't even have
Fane frowned. After he reached out to grab Presti's neck, Presti's life ended with a crack.Shin's eyes widened as he looked at Fane with fear. His savior could very well kill him!Cavill started to panic as well. He looked at Fane with alarm. Even though he was thankful that Fane saved the two of them just now, he had no way to tell what Fane would do after this. Fane slowly walked in front of them, and he did not show much emotion on his face.Cavill said in a dry voice, "Fane, you…?"Fane shook his head, "Don't panic. I won't kill you. Let's work together. It's not like only one person will be able to enter after the door opens."Shin looked at Fane with an incredibly inquisitive look. He thought about it before he said, "I… I don't want to work together. I'll give you the key as thanks for saving me. That Valley of Enlightenment doesn't sound like a good place at all. If I enter, I don't even know if I'll be able to survive."As he spoke, Shin had a bitter look on his face.
