As they did not have the strength to defeat Wesley, they could only look forward to Fane avenging them. The news of Fane and Wesley meeting in the wager battle arena traveled as if they had wings on them. All the informal disciples learned of the news within an hour.Hence, everybody waited for time to pass, anticipating the lively battle. Fane once again asked Nash to come out after he entered his own room and gave him a brief explanation about what had happened.“I know that you’ve always been confident about your own strength, but it won’t be easy to go against Wesley,” fretted Nash. “Although Elder Lee praised that you should be one of the top three hundred informal disciples, Wesley is one of the top two hundred. Are you that confident in this duel with him?”Fane shook his head. “I’m not a hundred percent confident right now.”Nash naturally got nervous when he heard this, and he instinctively sat up straight. “Then why did you agree to it?”Fane pulled the teapot on the ta
Fane looked at Brook in surprise when he heard this. He could sense that Brook meant something else from the way he spoke, and with a small frown, Fane asked, “He’ll become an elder disciple after just becoming a formal disciple?”The steps in becoming a formal disciple had been noted in the jade identification card, but nothing was written in the jade strips about how to become an elder disciple or chosen disciple. Fane knew that the elder disciples were one level higher to usual formal disciples, but they were not much higher.The most important disciples in the entire pavilion were the chosen disciples as they were the cream of the crop. Only those who were promoted to the chosen disciples level could train the martial art technique and martial skills of the highest level.However, Fane had no idea how to become a chosen disciple. Brook smiled politely; he must have realized that Fane did not know much about this stuff. Hence, he explained patiently, “Actually, the so-called el
After absorbing the soul fragments of the great master, Fane experienced an even more vast world. Although the Hestia Continent was much stronger in terms of training when compared to the Cathysia world, they were still incomparable to the Divine Void World.It was just the position of a chosen disciple in a small pavilion located at West Cercei Island of the Hestia Continent. Fane did not pay much attention to it. Brook raised his head and glanced at Fane before he secretly shook his head helplessly.He was able to see how determined Fane was in wanting to be a chosen disciple. Throughout the years, he had interacted with an uncountable number of disciples, and he saw the same expression on their faces.However, the determination to win would wear off within a year or two. It was really difficult to get to that position as the chosen disciples were the ten strongest people in the entire pavilion.Although the Dual Sovereign Pavilion was nothing in the Hestia Continent, it was one
When Fane opened the door to enter the hall, he could not tell if his mind played tricks on him, or if he truly felt it: He felt a wave of wind blowing toward him and went straight into his soul through his body. It unnerved him.The hall had very simple decorations, and there were several small doors at the back of the hall, the height of a man. All sorts of charms and markings were drawn on these doors, and with just a glance at these things, Fane felt his eye hurting so badly that he could not look at them.A table was placed in front of these doors, and a disciple was dozing off behind the table. Fane knew that he was also an informal disciple from the way he was dressed, but Fane did not recognize him. He also knew that such assignments would not be given to newly recruited informal disciples. This must be an informal disciple who was his senior. That person supported his face with his hand and was so drowsy that his eyelids drooped.Compared to other training grounds, not many
“You don’t have to speak to me like that; I have a reason for saying what I said. Martial art techniques or martial skills with the soul attribute can be considered one of the more difficult to practice. I wouldn’t have any questions if you’ve practiced martial art techniques or martial skills of the five elements attributes. Think of this as me persuading you. Even the geniuses in the pavilion don’t simply train for the martial art techniques or martial skills with the soul attribute, let alone those like you, a newly recruited informal disciple.”Noel did not exaggerate in his words. Among all the martial art techniques and martial skills, those that belonged to the five elements were the easiest to be practiced.Even though the power unleashed after they achieved the level of completion was not as strong as the martial art techniques and martial skills of other attributes, it was easy to practice those, and the possibility of success was also much higher.Noel rubbed his slightly
“Stop thinking that you’re stronger than any other person. Many had the same train of thoughts like you do, but they were examples to those who came after them that this is wishful thinking.” Noel was not reminding Fane; he was taunting Fane for overestimating himself. Just like what he said, there were so many disciples in the pavilion, but only a very small number of people practiced the martial art techniques and martial skills of the soul attribute.After all, the soul was an illusory thing, and it was untouchable like the five elements. Numerous seniors had trained the gold, wood, water, fire, and earth elements, and they could be used as references.Fane merely gave a small nod wordlessly, to which Noel chuckled without a care and continued, “Since you insist on going in and wasting those ten contribution points, there’s nothing else I can say.”Noel did not believe that Fane would be capable of hastening his mastery over his martial art techniques or martial skills after he e
Noel grew increasingly angry as he spoke. He could not help but rush forward to slap Fane harshly on his naive-etched face so that he would wake up from his daydream. He would not have said so much to Fane if he would not be severely involved if Fane’s soul was hurt.“Do you know what you’re talking about? Adjusting the difficulty level to level two, and I’m sure that you won’t last longer than a person drinking their tea. You’ll come running out with your tail between your legs after I take several breaths.” Noel looked at Fane like he was looking at a stubborn fool. Fane sighed lightly, knowing very well that his actions must translate to him being an idiot in the eyes of people like Noel.However, he did this because he did not want to waste time. After all, the usual difficulty would not be a huge improvement to a martial skill at the level of the Destroying the Void. In fact, he asked Noel to adjust the difficulty to level two because he did not understand if this was useful to
This was a pitch-black world, and it made a person’s heart tingle. Everything around him was enveloped in darkness. Fane stretched out his hand and subconsciously groped around him, but there was nothing around him. It did, however, make him feel as if it was difficult to walk.The space he was in was very different from the space outside, and the darkness in this place was also very much different compared to the darkness outside. If he compared the space outside like a clear spring in a stone pond, this area was like a pot of cooked porridge as it had an unspeakable stickiness to it.He balled both his hands into fists, and it seemed like he had caught the space around him in his hands. This was the true center area of the Soul Hall, and it was also the place that could help him improve his training of martial skill.In fact, he was able to recognize from what Noel said that it was not easy to train here. However, he did not back away and continued to walk two steps ahead. As he w
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.
