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
He turned to look at Vincent again as he said, "What does where I come from have to do with you? Why do you have so much to say?! Can you just shut up? Leave it all to the fight!"After saying that, Rudy almost gave Fane a thumbs up. Those words had successfully caused Vincent to pale. If Vincent continued to speak, it would make Vincent seem unreasonable.After all, Fane already said to leave everything to the fight! Vincent was forced to swallow his words as he looked at Fane furiously.He was already thinking about how he would torture Fane when they are on the stage later! He would not give Fane any chance of surrendering. He would not let Fane die so easily either. He would properly torture Fane until Fane was begging for mercy. Then, he would kill Fane in one blow when Fane was at his lowest!Rudy whispered to Fane, "You're amazing in every way. You're even talented with your words. I was almost angered to death by you back then, but now that it's on others, I feel so happy…"
"Furthermore, he did not want to tell anyone where he came from. He's obviously a wandering warrior!"Everyone present seeped into the conversation again. Everyone seemed to be saying anything that was on their mind, and practically everything that could be said was said. However, the core of the conversations was still the same.All of them felt that Fane thought that he could destroy the golden bird which was why he spoke so arrogantly, not caring for Vincent at all!Rudy felt the flames of anger in his heart after hearing the constant discussions. None of these people knew anything, but they were just saying whatever they wanted to. It was despicable.At that moment, he could not say anything and was forced to quietly wait by the side. After a good while, the discussions did not stop and instead became more intense. Everyone started to question where Fane was from, not seeming like they would stop. Rudy got more and more frustrated and angry as he listened on. He could not sto
Vincent had never been so angered before. Even if he had heard harsher words or been mocked worse than this, he had never felt as angry as he had that day.Fane did not seem to care about him at all, even while Fane mocked him. It was as if he was not worth Fane’s notice at all. Being ignored while he was being mocked, he felt incredibly horrible.Vincent's lips twitched as he narrowed his eyes, staring at Fane viciously as he shouted, "Did you hear their discussions earlier? I really do use the same technique as Vale, but don't think that you can break the technique like how Cody did earlier. Let me tell you, this is impossible!"Fane's lips twitched as he said nothing. He did not want to waste time on Vincent at that moment. It was just a fight. He had to go through many more fights later. This was just the first level of the Thousand Leaves Tower. He had never really thought much about the first battle. Instead, Vincent seemed unrelenting, insisting on arguing with him. Fane si
However, Vincent was even more unimpressed by everything. At that moment, Vincent was already thoroughly crazed. He took a breath as his hands constantly moved, forming seal after seal.After that, a massive three-legged bird appeared behind him. The bird was covered in flames. It was at least twice the size of the one Vale had condensed!That alone was proof that Vincent had not been bragging earlier. Vale really was no match for Vincent. If Vincent had been the one against Cody earlier, the victor would not have been certain.Fane estimated things in his heart, and felt like the two of them were probably about equal. The thought flashed in his mind as Vincent roared angrily, lunging forward like a diving eagle as he rushed right at Fane.The heat waves hit Fane before Vincent was there. It was incredibly hot, enough for the heat to distort the space around them again. Fane was at the center of the heat waves. He felt a power that could light him up, get closer and closer!Fane r
Fane let out a slight laugh, not answering Vincent. Instead, he grabbed his sword with both his hands and raised his blade high up, slashing right at the head of the bird!The black slash might not have any intense energy fluctuations, but it surged right at the bird!The bird cried out again. Fane could even see a look of disdain in the bird's eyes. The bird might just be an image of the technique Vincent had condensed, but it still carried Vincent's emotions.After all, the technique was a middle-stage earth technique. Vincent seemed to have reached the second stage of mastery, and was not far away from the third.Vincent was definitely an inner disciple that was even higher ranked than Vale. The guy would probably end up becoming a chosen disciple in a short span of time. He definitely had a lot of potentials.The thought flashed in Fane's head as Destroying the Void arrived right in front of the bird. The bird spat out a sea of flames in disdain, but the slash did not seem to
The pain caused him to go crazy. He had suffered various injuries before, but they had never been as painful as what he was feeling then. It was as if he had been thrown into a pot of hot oil and cooked alive."What power is this?! Why is it injuring my soul?! Take it away! Take it away now!" Vincent was grasping at straws at that moment. The intense pain had caused him to forget all his earlier arrogance.He had said that he would have Fane begging for death, but now he was asking for mercy from Fane instead. Fane let out a smirk at his shouts before Fane said lazily, "Don't you think you're being really funny right now? You're the one who said you would have me begging for death earlier, but now you want me to let you go. Do you think I will?"Vincent's mind was no longer working properly at that moment. He merely begged Fane to let him off, even killing him would be better.The pain of his soul rotting away was too much for him to bear. Vincent had never felt such pain before an
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.
