“Sigh! Why are they not back yet?!” Somebody sighed again after they waited for some time.“Hey, there’s a man flying our way on a flying sword!” joyously exclaimed a man from the Lancaster family, perched on top of the branches.“Really? That’s great!” Helena, Daniella, and the others were extremely excited when they heard this. They immediately flew upward to see who came their way.However, the expressions on their faces fell when they noticed who it was on that flying sword moments later.The other party felt threatened as he got closer, noticing so many people in the area. Sure, he was a member of a first-class aristocratic family, the Zachary family, and he usually had nothing to fear of any other day.However, how could he fight when the people he spotted at that moment were masters of a couple hundred in the forest?“Greetings, e—everybody. I’m alone, and I don’t have many tokens with me. If you want them, I...I can give them to you. Please, don’t...don’t hurt me!” The ma
“Young… Young master is an incredibly affable person! He actually chose to sacrifice himself for everybody else!” Before Kaleb could sob, a woman who came with him had started wailing sadly.“Look everybody! Fane! It’s Fane!” Daniella was over the moon when she spotted a very familiar figure flying toward them atop of a flying sword.Everybody in the forest was extremely excited when they heard Daniella’s exclamation and flew upward.Soon, a huge group of people appeared in this part of the sky.Initially searching for them, Fane smiled and headed right for the masses when he saw the large group that flew up mid-air.“Oh, how wonderful! He really survived!” Helena was just as elated, so much so that her eyes slightly reddened at that moment.“We knew Young Master Fane would definitely make it!” spoke a man as he patted his thigh in excitement.“That’s right. Young Master Fane is the prodigy among all geniuses. The so-called First Young Master Hunt is no match for him, too!” A ma
“How's that possible? Is the backlash effect of this pill that terrifying? He almost dropped from the final stage of the true-god level to a ninth-grade grandmaster?” Everybody inhaled deeply when they heard Fane’s story and were inwardly embarrassed.It should be mentioned that the pill was truly powerful as it would increase a person’s fighting prowess and combat power within a short period of time, and this was something that could help a person win during incredibly crucial moments. However, it seemed that the price to be paid was steep on its own.“That’s for sure. Cloud wouldn’t have taken the pill if the backlash was so terrible. He only took the pill because he was also hurt and wasn’t our opponent.” Fane could not help but paused for a while before he continued, “Luckily, that flying sword of mine flew quickly or he would’ve killed me!”“That’s true. It really is quite dangerous now that we’re listening to you talking about it!” Randall was overwhelmed with mixed emotions.
Randall laughed out loudly. “Haha! This is the ending for going against my older brother. They can’t blame others for their suicidal ways!” That night, everybody hunted a few monster beasts and roasted them as food.As there were no strong monster beasts at the outer ring of the forest, everyone could afford to let their guard down and relax. Many of the other competitors started to move toward the outer ring of the forest while some found a place to hide as they waited for the competition to end the next day.Hours later, the sun rose and everyone conversed among themselves as they waited for the competition to end officially. The sky started to move and there was a golden-colored pattern in the sky on top of Kobe Mountain. There were seven light spots of different colors in the pattern, and they started to blink since their appearance.“It looks like we’re going out. Is this light dome disappearing soon?”“I have no idea. I don’t know how we should go out, but why do I feel
“This is marvelous. It looks like the geniuses are coming out!” The members of the families were overwhelmed with emotions as they gazed at the huge pale blue-colored light dome from the outside.Among them stood the all-too-confident Quentin. He walked a couple of steps forward and said loudly, “Everyone, it is obvious that many geniuses have died in this competition. Sigh… This is a training for them, and the geniuses who survived this competition are true geniuses. They’ll definitely have a longer journey in life after experiencing a baptism of blood.”Quentin had no idea that the secret technique that connected him and his son had stopped working after his eldest son took the pill to increase his fighting prowess. Hence, he did not feel anything when Cloud died.As a result, he naturally thought that Cloud was still alive and had avenged Tyrell successfully.“That’s right. The geniuses who survived would definitely have some achievements in the future!” The master of the Lagori
A man stood up and rubbed his butt before looking at the crowd in front of him. At this moment, many competitors were also thrown out of the spiral.Some of them who reacted in time immediately activated their Chi to help them land smoothly. Those who reacted slightly slower, on the other hand, landed straight on the ground in an embarrassing manner.“Haha… Haiden, I knew you’d be alive. Quickly, come to me, my beloved grandson!” The Second Elder of the Zachary family was delighted when he saw that his grandson had emerged unscathed.Haiden rubbed his butt and dusted himself before walking toward him. With a bitter smile, he spoke, “I’m alive, but my luck was really bad. I didn’t get many tokens!”“Forget about the tokens—they’re not that important. The most important thing is how many people are alive right now. From the light spots on this light dome, we can deduce that almost half of the people in this competition have died.” Emotions overwhelmed the Second Elder of the Zachary
Beth rolled her eyes at everybody when she saw how impatient they were and said, “Why are you guys so impatient? Isn’t he coming out soon? Goodness gracious!” “He’s coming out soon?” Nash was stunned before an ecstatic expression appeared on his face. “What great news! This means that my son is fine, and he’s coming out soon!”After he finished speaking, Nash—unable to contain his excitement—walked toward Trenton and gloated, “Did you hear that? Our geniuses told us Fane is fine upon returning here. Nothing happened to him, and he’s coming out shortly!”“How… How is that possible?” Trenton frowned in disbelief. Did Fane not join the last huge battle, or was this guy a coward that he hid somewhere during the last couple of days to wait for the competition to end?Sure enough, a figure was sent flying outward at this moment and almost fell to the ground. He quickly focused his Chi at his feet and landed slowly on the ground.“This is great, Young Master Fane has returned!” Many of
Fane’s words had very much assured and calmed Alejandro. True to his word, Helena and the others were thrown out one after another not long after.Some time later, about 100 to 200 members of the Cabello family, Woods family, and Lancaster family had come out.“I heard that Tyrell Hunt had died?” Nash asked Fane when the latter stood before him. Fane smiled and spoke, “Let’s talk about the details after we go back. Some of the people from the other families might cry due to anger soon.”Nash nodded; talking about what happened at that place was not the best idea to do. It would be bad if people from the other families around them overheard them, even if they spoke softly.“Cry due to anger?” Nash was stunned though was delighted as he realized something. They were able to notice some things from the light dome previously. The people from the Hunt family seemed to have formed an organization with people from some families and were killing geniuses from the other families.How
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.
