Fane’s lips twitched upon hearing Wesley’s bold claim. It seemed like Wesley loved to boast about his strength pridefully no matter what he was doing. To Wesley, it was not Fane’s strong powers that forced him into doing this. Instead, Fane should be honored that he was doing so.Fane was stunned for a moment, however, and he even felt like laughing at Wesley’s words. Nonetheless, he did not want to waste time on nonsense with Wesley at such a crucial moment. After the third star was formed, all three stars attracted and controlled one another. They continued to spin briskly on top of the three-feet sword and stirred the surrounding energy into a small-sized tornado.Everyone’s eyes widened at the sight. Many of them were already mentally debating if Wesley could compete with the top 100 or even the top 80 informal disciples when he performed his strongest hit!“It seems like my trip here today isn’t in vain; I get to see such an interesting fight. I never thought Wesley had hidden
The next moment, the three-feet sword spongily absorbed Wesley’s blood. The three stars rotating crazily around the three-feet sword, meanwhile, increased in speed.Fane was sure this was Wesley’s desperate tactic. At this moment, a solemn look appeared on Fane’s face, and he even felt slightly uneasy. Despite that, he could not retreat even if he was hesitant.With that, he performed the seal continuously with his hands, and the black light was once again injected into the dagger.The dagger, like before, released a streak of black light, and the third soul sword was fused into the black dagger. To be safe, Fane made up his mind and increased his true energy. Even though he could easily fuse two soul swords with his current abilities, it was still difficult for Fane to merge all three soul swords in one attempt.He could not focus on that drawback, however. He had to force himself to fuse the swords, even if he typically could not. His hands turned continuously and became faster
The audience heard that familiar dull explosion as a figure came hurtling out of the center of the energy surge. The figure slammed against the activated energy barrier of the battle platform with an audible whump.The figure was, in fact, Wesley, and the protective barrier managed to stop him from flying out of the arena.Wesley, who was once insufferably arrogant, was rendered to such a pathetic state—he looked like he had just struggled out of the quagmire. He slid down the energy barrier and fell onto the ground with a loud thud. Dust flew all over the place as Wesley slumped to the ground with his four limbs up in the air. His clothes were torn into rags.The dark-colored light covered Wesley like a layer of mist. Blood leaked from the corners of his mouth as his face contorted in sheer pain. In the previous attack, Wesley’s Seven Stars Meteor Cloud was no match for the Destroying the Void. After the Destroying the Void, which formed three soul swords, defeated the Seven Stars
No matter how willful Wesley was, he could not hold back his scream. After seeing what happened, Ambrose instantly turned pale. "Stop! I declare that the battle is over! You’ve won now, Fane, so stop what you’re doing!"Ambrose could not just watch as Fane’s attack crushed Wesley entirely. Although Fane's previous punch broke Wesley's ribs, it did not cause more fatal injuries. Cold sweat dripped down Ambrose's forehead as he feared Fane would continue his assault, even if Fane listened to him. After all, the animosity between Fane and Wesley ran deep, and Wesley even insisted on crippling Fane before the battle.Fane was not someone who would just forgive and forget. He was also impressively talented and did not place much importance on the fact that Wesley came from an important family.Surprisingly, Fane stopped attacking after hearing Ambrose’s declaration and slowly stood up from the floor. He did not turn around to look toward the audience seats and instead glanced at Wesley
The runner disciples quickly transferred Wesley onto the stretcher. Every battle platform came with five or six runner disciples, and their main task was to bring any wounded disciple after their battles for emergency treatment.Fane raised his eyebrows when Wesley was about to be brought down the platform by the runner disciples and said, “Don’t forget our wager. According to the rules of the wager battle arena, you need to send the items you owe within three days. If you fail to do that within three days, not only will you be detained, but you might be deported from the pavilion, too.”Wesley was so angry that he coughed up blood hearing Fane’s words. The chest area of his clothes had already been dyed with blood. His hands quaked as he wanted to clap back at Fane with something snarky. Alas, he had already lost, and it was useless no matter how much a loser spoke. He would only be ridiculed by others. After Wesley was brought away for treatment, Fane slowly walked down the battl
At the thought of this, Ambrose started to look forward to that surprised expression on Zeph's face once he was to be released. Fane, meanwhile, ignored the murmurs and gossip from the people around him, talking about him, and returned to his seat among the audience. He decided it would be in his interest to sit and watch the others battle as he did not have anything important to do today, more so having no more contribution points left at this moment.When he heard that formal disciples would have a battle on the wager battle arena afterward, Brook looked at Fane with admiration as he sat, his eyes almost glued on Fane. The corners of Fane’s mouth twitched helplessly. “What are you looking at?”Brook coughed softly with an excited look on his face. “You’re very strong, Senior Brother Fane! I’ve really missed it when I thought that you weren’t Wesley’s opponent. Who would’ve expected for you to hit him so badly!”Fane raised his eyebrows helplessly and said calmly, “Didn’t I tel
In truth, Fane had only told half the tale. After all, the worst attack was not breaking Wesley’s ribs. Instead, it was how the remaining power from the Destroying the Void attacked his body and caused the wound on his soul. Others did not know what attribute Fane was training in, but Noel knew it very well. Lowering his voice, Noel commented, “Did Wesley suffer from a wound on his soul due to how much pain he’s in? If that’s the case, it doesn’t seem good…”Fane raised his eyebrows and took a meaningful look at Wesley after he heard this. He saw how serious Noel’s expression was and responded with an equally serious tone, “I don’t think that he’s seriously wounded. Although the martial skill I performed was strong enough, the Seven Stars Meteor Cloud isn’t so weak. It canceled most of the attack, and only a small amount of the attack rushed onto Wesley’s body.”Noel felt that Fane did not understand what he was trying to get at. He could not help but sit up straight and leaned tow
Noel’s remark caught Fane’s attention, and Fane turned to look at him in surprise, not expecting Noel to know these two newly recruited informal disciples. Noel knew the cause of Fane’s surprise when he noticed the look in his eyes. “I come from an aristocratic family. Although it isn’t a big family, it is so rare for me to know two outstanding young disciples?”To this, Fane chuckled and gave a slight nod, saying, “Are you sure that those two can be considered outstanding?” Fane did not say this out of vanity of himself and his skills, nor was he belittling them; he was merely telling the truth. Fane was speaking from the overall looks of things. After all, they only made four of the lights lit up during the assessment.Such results were not very outstanding among all the informal disciples, but Noel seemed to feel good about the two of them. Raising his brows, Noel answered, albeit a little wound up, “They are relatively outstanding. I know about your assessment results. Even thoug
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.
