Fane smiled and said to Daniella, “Don’t worry. I, Fane Woods, never broke a promise!” “Alright, let’s go! I'm traveling with you!” Daniella felt butterflies in her stomach. With a flip of her hand, she revealed two black tokens and handed them to Fane. “Haha…! I found these yesterday. Here, they’re for you!”“For me?” Fane was flustered. “You’re a member of the Cabello family. It’s best if you reserve this for your eldest sister!”“I am a member of the Cabello family,” said the blushing Daniella before she added, “but I’m also yours. You’re going to be my man in the future, so I have to help you!”Her thoughtfulness moved Fane. He tidied up everything and held Daniella’s hand as they flew down.Daniella hugged Fane from his back the moment they landed on the ground. She then tilted her head toward Fane’s back, lips curling into a sweet smile.Fane had no idea that this young girl would be such a clingy person. Smiling awkwardly, he said, “Come on, let’s continue searching for t
Facing the taunts, Fane grabbed Daniella by her waist, pulled her close to his chest, and lowered his head to kiss her on her red lips.Daniella’s heart raced wildly in her bewilderment, taken aback at how Fane decided to prove their relationship at this moment in such a domineering way. Was he not afraid of these people spreading news about them? What should they do when the Hunt family learn about this?“You…” All three sons of the Norman family liked the three young mistresses of the Cabello family. Their main target of persuasion was Danielly as she looked especially young and quirky. She, to put it simply, captivated them. How could Fane make both Helena and Daniella fall for him? They spurned with jealousy that rose from their hearts. Moreover, they resented how the woman they loved was taken away by someone else.“Oh, you’ll die today, young man!” growled Conley Norman.“Young Masters, what say we kill them together, seeing that we’ve easily outnumbered them?” The Lagorios
“You’re absolutely right, Big Bro. This woman is a rare beauty. It would be a pity to kill her just like that!”Joshua gave a wicked smile. “Besides, we can kill whoever we like in this competition. Haha. Even Daniella’s father wouldn’t dare to do anything to us if we toy around with her for a bit before killing her!”Conley also chimed in, “Both of you are right. Daniella isn’t Fane’s girlfriend, so it’s a possibility that she’s still a virgin. Hehe!”“You’re right!”Another genius from the Norman family had a wicked smile carved on his face.The other two men from the Lagorio family also had wicked smiles. They stared at Daniella and gulped.After all, it was difficult to find a beauty like her. Many men lusted after the daughters of the Cabello family, and taking their womanhood would give them plenty of bragging rights.The two young women from the Lagorio family were internally speechless. They believed that all men were perverts who reverted to their cavemen selves once th
After all, the eight men before him were all fighters in the true god realm, and two of them were at the intermediate stage. They were probably the aces among the contestants today.Could Fane handle attacks from the eight of them alone?Yet a small smile hung on his lips even as he faced against them. He tightened his grip on the black sword in his hand, slowly pouring his chi through the small hole on its hilt.Hum!As chi flowed into it, the sword started emitting a frightening hum. The blade rippled, and Fane’s aura grew stronger.“What a powerful aura. The sword increased his martial ability!”Joshua quickly sensed something and his expression darkened.“Big Bro, didn’t you say that a flying sword wouldn’t usually increase the fighting prowess of its wielder?”Conley was frightened after he felt that wave of energy. He quickly looked at his elder brother for assurance.Keith’s expression stiffened, and he clenched his jaw. “I said ‘usually’. F*ck. There’s something differ
Even Keith with the highest cultivation level and was the strongest fighter, was frightened, feeling as though death was coming for them. That feeling became stronger and stronger, and the other seven were all so terrified that color was completely leached from their faces. Fear filled their gazes.“Don’t worry. We’ll definitely win. We have so many people attacking together. We’ll get him!”Conley was so scared that his voice was trembling, yet he gripped tightly onto his sword and tried to encourage his comrades.Bang bang bang!A frightening explosion tore through the air. In the next second, the attacks from the Lagorio geniuses who were at the beginning stage of the true god status were all destroyed.“Pfft!”Those fellows spat a mouthful of blood, their faces twisted into grimaces.“Sh*t. Their attacks were destroyed so easily!”A few of their attacks had been destroyed by Fane. It was obvious that the attacks from Keith and the remaining men were not going to hold out fo
The attack flew outward in an arc and landed on the brothers’ chests, killing them instantly.“So–so strong!”Daniella was goggle-eyed. It took a few seconds before she gulped and spoke.Fane took the martial rings from the eight bodies and flashed before Daniella. He smiled at her. “Let’s get out of here quick. Someone might find out that I killed them otherwise. If the Norman family ever knows of this, they’ll definitely bring trouble to our families even if they don’t lash out immediately!”“Okay!”Daniella bobbed her head meekly and took Fane’s hand. The two flew upward and escaped from the site of the incident.They only stopped after a while. Fane took the plaques, spirited grass, and other valuables out from those martial rings, discarding them once he sorted them into his own martial ring.Daniella’s chest felt warm. Fane had actually killed all those fellows which truly surprised her. She never thought that a straight-laced, conservative man like him would have his affe
Not long after they had left, a few contestants from the Norman family arrived at the scene of the battle.All of their expressions darkened when they saw the bodies.“Crap. All three young masters are dead. What–what do we do?One of the men, who were at the beginning stage of the true god realm, furrowed his brows. “Young Master Keith and Young Master Joshua, especially, were the best candidates to become the house heir, and they’re the strongest geniuses from our family. We’ll probably lose this competition now that they’re dead!”Another man was delighted instead. At this moment, he gave a wicked smile. “It is indeed a great loss, but now that our master’s three sons are dead, it means that we have hope to assume the position of house heir.”The man at the beginning stage of the true god status from earlier was delighted when he heard the news. The three geniuses were dead. Now their cultivation level was among the strongest within the pool of geniuses. They all had hoped to b
“Fane, look over here. There’s another plaque!”Soon enough, Daniella found another black plaque and picked it up. She flew to where Fane was and thrust it toward him. “Aren’t you afraid that your father will be mad if he finds out about this?”Fane gave a bitter smile and kept the plaque. The two of them flew with some distance between each other, widening the radius of their search. It was evident that it was easier for Fane to find the plaques with Daniella’s help.“I don’t care if he gets mad. Hmph. You’ll be my man soon, so I will follow whatever you do!”Daniella gave a cold harrumph. Then she added bashfully, “There’s nothing wrong if I want to help my man find the plaques and get good results!”Warmth bloomed in Fane’s chest, then he quickly thought of Selena, who was still at the Woods family estate. He heaved a sigh. “I don’t even know how I should break it to Selena. I wonder how her cultivation is going. We still have over twenty days left here. By the time we get ou
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.
