Nonetheless, many eyes were on Cody, and he could not afford to worsen the relationship between their two clans. He could not cause a rift between the clans just for a moment of excitement.Of course, he did not let Vale get away unscathed. Vale would be rendered useless for a good few months after that strike.Cody's speed had stunned everyone, especially the last three strikes that no one had been able to react to. They felt chills down their spines, and some of them were even rendered speechless by the shock. Prodigies looked amazing, wherever they were.The crowd was mixed, with about half of them being wandering warriors and half of them being disciples of clans. Regardless of who they were, however, most of them were average in skill.They started to get excited after seeing such shocking attacks."My god! Cody is so strong! He managed to undo Vale's strongest attack in three strikes, all while looking composed from the start. It's just like he said—Vale was nothing to him."
"He's so strong! Cody really is so strong! He is no doubt an inner disciple of the Unbreaking Pavilion. I've never seen any inner disciples from the Unbreaking Pavilion fight before, so this was an eye-opener!""I can't compare to him. Vale was strong, but he was no match for Cody!"Fane heard it all, and to him, it was too much noise.At that moment, a few disciples wearing the clothes of the Compass Pavilion rushed through the crowd and ran to the arena, seemingly furious. As they pushed the crowd away, they showed no signs of civility. The surrounding warriors were angered, but everyone held their tongue.After all, the Compass Pavilion was an eighth-grade clan. They might not amount to much against the disciples of the Unbreaking Pavilion, but they were significant before most of the warriors there.These disciples rushed to the stage with fervor, but the arena had been shielded by the laws. They were not able to enter before the time was up!Vale struggled as he spat out a m
Vale had even threatened Cody by saying there was still a lot of time left, and Cody was not one to let things slide. Cody was, however, the type to get back at his offender several times over when provoked.The disciples of the Compass Pavilion hurriedly helped up Vale. Just as they were preparing to leave the stage, Cody purposely raised his voice, wanting everyone to hear him, "If you've lost, you've lost. Do you need to be such a sore loser? All that bragging yet you're still so weak in the end, yet you dare say you'll get back at me? How shameless can you be?"Do you think the Unbreaking Pavilion has no powerful individual just because you have strong disciples with you? For so many years, the Unbreaking Pavilion has stood over the Compass Pavilion. When have you ever won?"The audience immediately responded as their cheers got louder, cheering for the Unbreaking Pavilion.After all, Cody from the Unbreaking Pavilion had won, and warriors only cared about the victor. They did
Each time a participant climbed another level, they would be given a token of passage. Receiving this token, Cody could not fight back the grin on his face.Even though it was just a simple battle, he did not just win that battle—he also obtained honor from his clan. The elders would surely reward him once he returned to the clan.He was incredibly happy as he slowly walked off the stage.Fane let out a sigh as he turned to look at the spectators that were slowly cooling down. These people had been so riled up during the match, and the warriors only remembered the most exciting points, forgetting Vincent's unsuppressed rage.Based on Vincent's temper, he would no doubt get back at those who ridiculed him and his clan. Even if those warriors did and said nothing to provoke him, Vincent would still be ruthless.It was not just Vincent, of course; the other disciples of the Compass Pavilion would do that as well. After all, the Compass Pavilion's honor had been tainted during that la
He might not be skilled and was probably the weakest among the weak, but he at least had some basic knowledge.No one here was united. There was not a person among them that would truly dare do anything against a disciple of an eighth-grade clan.After all, they could only be in the Whirling World for two years. The moment two years passed, nothing good would await them if news of this battle and its outcome were to spread. An order to kill them might even be issued.They were merely chatting away, saying anything that came to their minds at that moment. In truth, not a single one of them would dare to do anything. That was the tragedy of the weak.Rudy said helplessly, "Is this what it's like being weak?"Fane turned and glanced at Rudy. "Isn't that obvious?"Rudy immediately shut his mouth. After a period of silence, Rudy finally got serious. He turned and looked at Fane earnestly. "The match is over. Are you going to queue up now?"After watching the match, Rudy decided to st
Most of the audience was not too noteworthy. Compared to Vincent, they were far weaker. Even if they had been so arrogant earlier, they could not deny Vincent's strength.Being able to become an inner disciple and to be considered Vale's senior meant that he was someone extraordinary."I don't know who that unlucky guy is, but I'll mourn for him in advance. It looks like the arena is going to be bathed in blood again.""Maybe Fane's from a large clan. If that's the case, he'll be able to keep his life.""Have you ever heard of a disciple from a big clan called Fane? I sure haven't…"Everyone began talking about Fane. Some felt bad for him, but more of them were happy about his misfortune. After all, they were just spectators.Rudy pulled at Fane's shirt. "I now know why you didn't tell me who your opponent was. It's Vincent. We're quite lucky to have met him. Are you stronger than he is?"Rudy was quite confident of Fane's skills, but he did not know Fane's true strength overall
Fane sighed as he looked at Joe in frustration. Joe had already thoroughly angered Fane. Although the two of them previously had a conflict outside the city gates, and Joe had said those disgusting things to Fane, Fane did not really care about it at all.Fane decided to forget about it, not wanting much to do with Joe, but Fane never expected that Joe would cause him trouble at such a time.Fane sighed again, adding someone else to his list of must-kill. He really could not afford to just forget things. When it came to people like that, he had to make them pay with their lives whenever he had the chance. Otherwise, they would just bring him an immense amount of trouble!Many gazes were directed toward Fane after Joe pointed him out. Everyone merely looked at Fane with interest. Earlier, Fane had not said anything when Joe was shouting around. They felt like it was because he was afraid, and felt that Vincent was right as well. Fane had on an alchemist's robes. He did not look lik
However, right as he thought that Fane would remain silent, Fane suddenly turned to look at Vincent."I'm ignoring you because I think you're a complete idiot. It's a waste of time talking to an idiot like you! I just can't believe that you're so brainless that it makes me sick. I ignored you, and you still decided to yap away!"Fane's words successfully pulled everyone into a strange silence. After the match between Vale and Cody, a new set of warriors quickly went on stage, and everyone started to cheer for them.Yet, Fane's words had even stopped those cheers. Everyone turned around as they looked at Fane strangely, wondering if Fane had gone crazy.Fane was calling Vincent an idiot? Did Fane not know that Vincent was from an eighth-grade clan and an inner disciple of the Compass Pavilion? There was something wrong with his head. Why was he challenging Vincent without any fear?!Even Vincent was stunned by Fane's words. He never expected that Fane would even dare to answer him
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.
