Fane shook his head, "I'm not sure about that, but what makes me even more curious was the fact that he really was looking at you in confusion earlier. It's like he doesn't know who you are at all."After you said all that, he looked at you as an enemy. It's as if you touched upon his secret… Could he really not know us?""How could he not know who we are?! The three of us went through so much. Unless he lost his memories, how could he not know who we are? He even hates you so much…"Rudy was very hesitant when he said the last words, but it was the truth. Fane turned around, full of suspicion in his eyes. At that moment, he really did not know what to think about the situation. He felt like there were traps everywhere, and problems that could not be solved.After a long time, Fane shook his head, "Let's not think about this anymore. He needs to hurry up and leave the second floor. We can make our plans after we reach the third.""Why are we in such a hurry to leave?" Rudy asked c
Walter's smile deepened after he heard that, "So you're a wandering warrior, but you must be very skilled if you're here."Words of praise started to be spoken. Walter had just started talking to Fane, but he suddenly looked like a long-lost friend as he opened up his arms and spoke happily.He asked Fane what he had gone through, and which ninth-level city he came from. He asked Fane where Fane was going after as well. Fane calmly answered all his questions.However, Fane merely brushed over any sensitive topics, giving vague answers. Rudy started to frown as he listened on, feeling like Walter's friendliness was too sudden. Even if Rudy was not the most intelligent, he could still tell that there was something off about Walter. Since Walter was on the second level, Walter had to be skilled. Normally, strong people would never waste time on anyone they did not know. It was not like they had nothing to do, so why were they wasting time on chit-chat.Walter even expressed his admi
After handling anything, Fane seemed to have lost his friendliness. He turned away, no longer talking to Walter. Walter could still bear it initially, but when he saw that Fane was so calm, he could not keep his calm.Walter frowned and asked, "Are you really stupid, or is there something wrong with your eyes?"The moment he said that the atmosphere that had been so warm earlier suddenly cooled down. Fane raised an eyebrow, not saying anything. Since both of them had accomplished their goal, Fane did not feel like saying anything else.Walter felt like he had been challenged when he saw that Fane did not answer, and did not even bother sparing him a glance.He snorted coldly, "Do you feel like you really made a friend?"Fane was speechless as his lips twitched. He turned to look at Walter, "Did you want to see me being incredibly terrified after you revealed your goals? Did you want me to regret everything I did?"Fane's words completely stunned Walter. So Fane had seen through e
Fane raised an eyebrow, not reacting to those unwanted guests. They were in the spectator stands, where fighting was restricted. If they dared to do anything there, the ones who would end up being punished were them.Since they could not fight, Fane did not care. It was obvious why all of them were there.Manse let out a snort as he said mockingly, "You're really something else. Since you know everything, why are you still acting like you don't care? Do you really not know what a chosen disciple of an eighth-grade clan represents?"Don't think that you can't act so arrogantly in front of the disciple of the Compass Pavilion just because you beat Vincent. Vincent might be a little skilled, but he's not that great among the inner disciples! Now, you're challenging one of the strongest disciples of the Compass Pavilion!"As they said that, they started to surround Fane. Even though they did not attack, they were still acting very aggressively. Fane frowned. There was still some time u
He turned to look at Walter and saw that Walter was looking at him incredibly earnestly at that moment. Walter seemed like he wanted Fane to believe that what Walter said would definitely happen.Fane took a deep breath. He had to admit that Walter was stronger than everyone else. However, Fane was not referring to martial strength, but that Walter's ability to piss people off was far greater than anyone else. Fane was not easily angered, but he was furious after those words.Fane let out a cold laugh, "You better remember what you said."Walter raised an eyebrow, "Of course, I'll remember everything I said."Fane nodded before he looked back at the evenly matched pair on the stage. Everyone was silent again. Walter had an unhappy glint in his eyes when he saw that Fane was looking away again.He had obviously said everything he did earlier with his own goals in mind. Head wanted Fane to be filled with fear and worry. He wanted to look at Fane's panicked look.He wanted Fane to b
"Since we're betting, then we should do it properly. In order to stop you from going back on your words, let's sign a contract. If you win I'll give you a hundred and ninety spirit crystals. If I win, you give me the same amount."Manse frowned, "You seem to really like signing contracts…"Back at the market, he had robbed Fane's deal before Fane could sign a contract with the black-clothed man. He did not expect that Fane would want to sign a contract just because he wanted to bet with Fane.Fane let out a slight laugh as he raised his head and looked at Manse seriously, "If you don't want to sign a contract, then say it. There's no need to try to get out of it. I just think that a contract is the best assurance."After saying that, Manse did not waste any more time talking to Fane. Signing a contract was actually better for Fane.That idiot thought he could beat a chosen disciple of an eighth-grade clan. Since he was so willing to offer out a hundred and ninety spirit crystals f
The man furrowed his eyebrows in anger, "Why do you care what I'm saying?! Do you want to die?! I happen to be lacking an opponent. Hand over your entry token. Let's fight!"Rudy snorted as he said nonchalantly, "Why are you pretending to be someone so strong in front of me? Don't you see the sixth-grade alchemist badge on my chest? You're trying to fight an alchemist? Why don't we compete in alchemy?"After he said that, the black-clothed man's face reddened. If it were not because of the rules in place, the man would have already been choking Rudy.Rudy saw that the man had nothing to say, and he started to get more pleased with himself. He had wanted to mock the man more, but was stopped by Fane, "Why are you so hard to control? Shut your mouth from now on. No matter what happens, you'd better make sure your mouth is shut tight, understood?"Rudy shrank back after being lectured by Fane like that, not daring to say anything else. After all, he had greatly inconvenienced Fane bef
There were discussions everywhere, but Fane ignored everything they said. He merely looked at Walter calmly. After Walter pulled out his weapon, Fane slowly pulled out his gray sword as well. The sword had been with Fane for a very long time, with Fane never changing his weapon.The Green Phoenix Whip let out a crack as Walter gave it a wave. A cold chill was released from the whip, causing even space itself to distort.Walter only had one thought in mind, which was to cruelly torture Fane after beating Fane up. He wanted Fane to know the consequences of Fane's actions.Walter roared as he started to form some seals. Hexagonal ice appeared on his palm. After a short moment, a few hundred arrows were floating in front of Walter.Walter roared angrily as he pushed forward. The few hundred arrows rushed right as Fane, enveloping the whole place with cold air. He rushed right at Fane with those arrows.Fane steadied himself as he held his sword with both hands. He calmly faced the c
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.
