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
Gerald replied calmly, “We needed pavilion contribution points no matter what we wanted to do. If the two of us stayed in the pavilion, how many contribution points would we be able to collect, even if we slaved ourselves away? Instead, we’d be able to obtain more by going to a safer place outside like Mount Beasts.”Pavilion contribution points were something every disciple needed. No matter what they did in the pavilion, it required a large amount of pavilion contribution points. Although Fane had just obtained 150 pavilion contribution points from the battle against Wesley, the points were a mere drop in a bucket and were insufficient for Fane.There were many ways to obtain pavilion contribution points. Usually, newly recruited informal disciples would stay in the pavilion to do some chores that were safe and could earn them contribution points, such as completing various chores for elders, assisting smelters in producing weapons, or helping alchemists to cultivate pills. Discipl
This was why Noel ultimately decided not to ask anything. In fact, Morton and Gerald should be on their way, seeing as their conversation had ended, and they were not that well-acquainted with one another, too.All of a sudden, Morton suddenly acted as if he knew Noel well and struck another conversation, “Mount Beasts truly is the vastest mountain in the West Cercei Island. Although we were only capable of going into the outer ring of the peripheral area, we still met a lot of dangers. Luckily, we were strong enough and turned the tides to our favor, however dangerous it was.”Noel nodded and simply commended him. To be frank, he wanted to be upfront to Morton, wanting to say he was not interested in listening to his crap. Morton and Gerald did not have to tell him how dangerous Mount Beasts was; Noel had already visited that place several times.Fane listened with high interest as he made arrangements for his next steps. However, Morton suddenly changed the topic of the conversati
A few among the audience started to mumble softly among themselves. “Who’s this person? Where did he come from? Is he crazy?”“Who knows? Seems like they have a problem or two with Fane. They do seem to be in the initial stage of the innate level. They must be crazy.” Morton had no idea what was going on when he saw how these people stared at him. Was there something wrong with what he said? Why was everyone looking at him like he was some clown?He carefully thought about what he said but could not find the error in his remarks, no matter how he tried. If that was the case, why were the people looking at him in such a way? Gerald was just as stunned, and he, too, felt the odd glances these people shot at them.Noel was also speechless as he glanced at Morton. In fact, he wanted to tell Morton that what he said was no different from slapping himself hard on his face. Nonetheless, he could hear that there was a rivalry with Fane from what they said. If that was the case, it was
Such a simple statement stunned both Morton and Gerald, their faces slammed with disbelief, and their mouths hung wide open.Morton laughed dryly, even musing to himself that Brook might have lost his mind. Why else would Brook have said such impractical things? Fane and Wesley had already finished their wager battle, and Fane…defeated Wesley? What nonsense these were! Despite that, the weird glances they were receiving subconsciously stopped Morton just as he was about to refute.Gerald blurted, “What are you talking about? How can Fane defeat Wesley?” His expression darkened as he got a hint of something from what he said, subconsciously stepping back.Every informal disciple around them could hear very well, and all of them heard what Brook had said. None of them refuted his claim, however, and none of them gave him odd stares. This meant that Brook was not pulling things out of thin air; he was telling the truth.Even a dummy would have realized that something was wrong. Mo
“Elder Sawyer, I believe that you are fair and unprejudiced. Although we had an altercation with him in the beginning, we did not overdo things. Even if that guy was resentful, he should’ve considered your support toward Senior Brother Wesley and refrained himself from carrying out such a violent attack. The martial skills of the soul attribute cause people to be wounded terribly. That guy did not care about anything and directly wounded Senior Brother Wesley badly. His body wounds can be easily healed but not the wounds on his soul within a short period of time!”A hint of anger flashed through Elder Sawyer’s old eyes as he slightly narrowed them. However, the anger disappeared soon. “Not only is this guy strong, but he also has a bad temper. As an elder of the pavilion, I cannot simply take action against disciples. However, if I allow this guy to develop at will, he will soon step over me someday in the future.”The man with triangular eyes quickly went along with the conversation
The smell of the fragrant tea overflowed into the space but they obviously did not pay any attention to how good the tea smelled. Noel spoke helplessly, “In the end, we are still going to war. How did this happen so quickly? Senior Brother Fane, do you plan to join the war? You can get quite a large number of contribution points if you manage to kill some people during the battle.”Many of those present looked over to Fane at the same time when they heard what Noel said. Fane shook his head decisively. “It is true that I can receive quite a significant amount of contribution points if I accept this task and leave the pavilion to kill the enemies. However, my strength at this moment cannot ensure my safety. It is true that the members of the Muddled Origin Clan want the people from our pavilion dead, but the people from our pavilion are also wishing for my death.”The people around him immediately quieted down when they heard what Fane said. They were able to identify the hidden meani
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.
