"He wants to claim tasks and get merit points? Dream on! As long as I'm around, he'll never get any merit points!"When Damien heard that, he let out a huge smile and said, "If you say that, then I won't have to worry anymore! I was just worried that the sudden appearance of this guy would ruin our plans!"Gilbert raised an eyebrow as he let out a cold laugh, "Didn't I tell you? No one will ruin our plans. This brat's appearance was a surprise, but this surprise won't disrupt our plans at all."I've already gotten someone to keep an eye on him. He absolutely won't escape from my sight! We'll keep an eye on him for a month. After a month, we'll get the chance to get rid of him. After that, we will rule this place."After his plan succeeded, everyone would have to treat him respectfully. Gilbert was absolutely elated. As they were discussing and feeling happy about themselves, Fane was in a difficult situation. He had just absorbed the large number of memories that were in the soul
He did not know who it was, but they should not have opened his door so rudely anyway. If he had been absorbing the memories midway, the disturbance might have caused him to lose control!"Is it you?! It must be you!" Gilbert pointed at Fane, his eyes were bloodshot.Fane looked at Gilbert strangely, not knowing what that guy was on about.Gilbert let out a cold laugh, "Don't think I don't know what you're doing!"Fane felt like Gilbert had gone crazy. He had never even left his room, so what could he do? That strange accusation, on top of Gilbert rudely barging in, caused Fane's face to completely darken.Soul Swords condensed in his hand. Fane had already decided to properly teach Gilbert a lesson, even if it went against the rules!Gilbert seemed to be in an inescapable rage. His whole body was shaking, "Say it! Are you feeling guilty? Were you the one who leaked the information?!"Fane was rendered speechless. He said angrily, "Is something wrong with your brain? What are yo
"It hurts!" Gilbert cried out in agony, curling up his body in pain.Fane let out a cold laugh as he walked out the door. At that moment, Gilbert was already curled up into a ball. This was even after Fane had held back. If Fane had even used forty percent of his power earlier, Gilbert would have been dead.After all, Gilbert might have some talent in alchemy, but he probably would not even be able to beat Nash in a fight.Gilbert cried out in pain. He stumbled as he tried to stand up. When John heard the commotion, he hurriedly ran over. John was shocked to see Gilbert rolling on the floor in pain. After that, he hurried over to help Gilbert up.John glanced at Fane, who was standing upright. Gilbert had arranged for Fane to be in an incredibly secluded area back then. It was actually just a rundown shed which Fane had expected.Thanks to that, only John had witnessed Gilbert being beaten up to such a state.Fane let out a snort, "You're quite daring, or maybe you're just blind.
Fane looked at Gilbert speechlessly as Gilbert glared at him with hatred. Even after everything that had happened, Fane still did not understand what Gilbert was doing or saying.Why did Gilbert come barging in shouting at him? Why was Gilbert so accusatory? At that moment, Fane could only laugh at Gilbert's threats. Gilbert took a deep breath before he turned around to look at Damien angrily."Don't bother with me here, go handle what's happening over there first!"Damien paled. His awkwardness from being pushed away earlier had already dissipated quite a bit. He turned and looked at Fane before looking back at Gilbert.Damien nodded, "I'll get it done immediately, but…I've already checked on it before. It's definitely right."Gilbert's expression stiffened. He still wanted to add a sentence or two, but he swallowed back his words.He merely nodded coldly, "I know, but we can't just ignore the matter!"As he said that, Gilbert did not even look at Damien. Gilbert stared at Fane
"You barged into my room without making things clear. You tried to attack me, but you were unbelievably weak. Now, you can't beat me, but you still dare to accuse me like this. I really don't know how the skin on your face is so thick."The corner of John's mouth twitched at Fane's straightforwardness. He glanced at Gilbert beside him timidly. Gilbert was so furious his entire body was shaking. He looked like he wanted nothing more than to rush over and bite Fane.Fane let out a cold laugh as he continued, "I don't know why you're still standing here. What do you want to say? Do you think you can beat me in a debate? Can you even beat me in a fight?" Gilbert's face rapidly changed colors. He was so infuriated by Fane that he felt like he was about to explode the next second. In truth, Fane's words were completely right. He could not beat Fane, and could not even win against Fane verbally.Staying there would do nothing other than making a joke out of himself. He took a few deep br
However, it was fine if he was not recognized. All the servant needed to do was to recognize Fane's clothes to tell who Fane was. The servant scanned Fane for a moment before saying, "You are…the eleventh student?"Fane was a little startled by the new title. The eleventh student? After those words floated in Fane's head for a while, he suddenly understood.Chandler had told Fane before that he was the eleventh student that Heavenly Pills accepted. Those servants that did not have any standing would naturally call him by that title.Fane nodded. After the servant had a clear sense of Fane's identity, he was less alarmed by the stranger in front of him. He pursed his lips, having heard before that the new student did not have a good relationship with the second student, but Fane was still a student after all.They were merely regular servants. If they offended Fane because of their inappropriate words, they could be sent off at any time should Fane complain about them.With that in
Unexpectedly, Fane's eyes were only interested in all the alchemy rooms. Fane did not seem to notice Raphael at all as if he was invisible to Fane.Raphael had a bit of a sour expression on his face as he tossed the cloth on the table. He moved forward with a slight frown as he said, "You must be the eleventh student."Raphael's words pulled Fane out of his thoughts. Fane let out a slight cough and nodded. Raphael stared at Fane with obvious unhappiness."I'm your senior, your fifth senior to be exact. My name is Raphael. Even though it's the first time we've met, I have to remind you. There has to be some basic respect among students here. Even though you're a fellow student, I'm still your senior."Raphael had wanted to let Fane know that he had been far too impolite. Fane should have at least greeted him before he entered and initiate a conversation.Fane did not care about any of that at all. It was as if Raphael amounted to nothing in Fane's eyes. It angered Raphael a bit, an
His lips twitched as he stared at Fane. Fane let out a helpless sigh, already expecting that something like that would happen.Fane was not in the mood to play around with Raphael at the moment. "Would you happen to know where I can get the materials for a sixth-grade pill? I want to try refining one,” Fane repeated.This time, Fane was very clear with his words, as if each word was incredibly important. It was to make sure Raphael understands his request. Raphael had naturally understood, and the surprise in his eyes intensified.His lips twitched for a long time before he said in exasperation, "Tell me, are you drunk?"Raphael was completely speechless. He did not know what that brat in front of him was talking about. A fifth-grade alchemist was trying to refine a sixth-grade pill before learning the Way of the Pill?The brat said those words so casually too. Raphael wondered if there was something wrong with Fane's brain.Fane sighed helplessly. He already knew that the only t
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.
