'Demon' was the only way they could describe Fane as his skills completely exceeded all of their expectations. After all, they had all gone through the first stage.Fane did not bother with any of their surprise at all as he closed his eyes again as his soul went through the crystal ball.To Fane, this was an insignificant place. His final goal was the sixth or the seventh level. Only by constantly moving up could he gain even more resources.Back when he was in Black Sun City, he had obtained the Purple Soul Fruit, Purple Soul Crystal, and other valuable treasures. An eighth-level city was a level higher than a ninth-level city where better treasures could be obtained.Thankfully, Fane had picked a more secluded spot, so the commotion did not attract too much attention. Those people who saw Fane's skills did not dare spread the word around out of fear.After five minutes, the blue crystal turned green, signifying that Fane had passed the second stage and arrived at the third stag
There were a lot of discussions around them. The ones around Fane could hear everything. When the question about how long Fane had been in the crystal ball's dimension was asked, all of them exhibited poor emotions. They were hesitant to say anything and were embarrassed beyond relief. They wanted to tell everyone that the person sitting here was a demon, but they were afraid that Fane might just punish them for it.They were certain that Fane came from a large clan, or he would not have been that strong!The vermillion glow slowly faded with time, and once the glow vanished, the ball turned into a token. The token had a vermillion glow to it with the words [Entry Token] written on it.Rudy looked at Fane happily. "The entry token for the fifth level!"Fane nodded, not showing any emotion on his face. To him, he was bound to enter the fifth level. Only those around them would feel like Fane had expended great effort to obtain the token.Fane did not delay as he stood up from the
He frowned. "A hundred people? You'd have to wait a little longer then, no? I was looking around us when you were taking the test in the fourth level, but even until we left, only you passed."Based on that pace, waiting for a hundred people may take a long time. Wouldn't you be wasting a great deal of time?""Before entering the Whirling World, I felt like two years was too long. Only after arriving here did I realize that two years is actually quite short. We're only in an eighth-grade city, and there are even more cities after this that we'll need even more time to challenge."Fane raised an eyebrow as he looked up to the skies. They were on the fifth level of the tower, and no matter where he looked, all he saw was white. It was as if they entered a massive white box, and it was disconcerting.He sighed and said, "There are a lot of eighth-grade cities. Gathering a hundred people might not take that long…"Fane's words stunned Rudy, who frowningly looked at him in confusion. H
After saying that, Rudy gaped slightly in surprise. It really was a stroke of mastery. Even if Rudy had looked into arrays and formations before, he could not help but lament the fact that the ancient civilizations had such an amazing mastery of them.He knew that any array in the current world could never do that, so Rudy lamented, "The ancient civilizations really were amazing. The things they do aren't things that warriors like us can even imagine."Hearing his words, Fane merely let out a slight laugh. After absorbing the memories of the Divine Void World's ancient warriors, those amazing feats were nothing to him. In his memories, there were even greater feats."I thought that I won't be meeting any disciples from Phoenix Valley for a while," said a man with the uniform of the Unbreaking Pavilion. His gaze was directed at a man in crimson robes.Hearing Phoenix Valley being mentioned, Fane and Rudy perked up in alert as they looked toward the man in the crimson robes. Thankful
What the other warriors there never expected was the fact that the animosity between these parties would be so direct; they were right on each other's faces! If not for the restrictions in place, they might have fought each other on the spot.A few people started to whisper amongst themselves, and the two standing in front of Fane, in particular, chatted interestedly."Even if we don't get anything from the fifth level, just this show alone would be worth it…""That's true. Phoenix Valley and the Unbreaking Pavilion are that hostile. I heard that they won't even bother talking and just jump straight into beating each other up unless rules prevent them. I wonder how many people have died recently.""Did a lot of people die? Are they crazy? Don't they know that they'll just get taken advantage of by a third party? The two forces are fighting so intensely. If a lot of people die, other forces will definitely be paying attention."If the number of their elites waned down, they'll get
Rudy frowned and said, "Everyone here is talking with such interest, but none of them grasped the main point. None of them know that Phoenix Valley and the Unbreaking Pavilion are just fighting on the surface, putting on a show for the other forces in Middle Province."Fane nodded. "Meanwhile, the other forces are probably all busy trying to figure out what's so amazing that the two of them would start fighting."None of them have intervened, probably because they want to see if they can take advantage of the situation. They don't know at all that they've been tricked. They've all been played like fools."Rudy let out a laugh as he nodded. "It's nice looking at others' fights. No wonder everyone loves to join in on everything. The arguments on the fourth level were because I couldn't keep my mouth shut, so I'll keep quiet this time."Even if I have anything to say, I'll lower my voice and make sure no one hears me. That way, no one will trouble us, right?"Despite his words, there
Rudy seemed to have gained slight interest in the situation and wanted to properly talk about it with Fane. "It's so relaxing not being targeted by anyone," he mused, "and we don't have to argue with idiots! No wonder you always give me that look like I'm a fool—I finally understand now."These ignorant people don't know what level you've reached. Things we talk about might sound normal to us, but they'll just think we're bragging. They would just try to push us down—""You're Fane?" interjected a new voice, inquisitive, before Rudy could finish. Fane frowned as a flash of disgust crossed his face. At this point, he felt like he could rage if anyone, except for Rudy, called out to him.Alas, he had to look up in acknowledgment.The moment he looked up, he saw Edgar smiling right at him, much to Fane's surprise. After all, Edgar had just been intensely quarreling with Albert and looked like he wanted nothing more than to beat up Albert.Fane had just been exchanging a few words w
Despite the smile on Edgar's face, his eyes seemed to be scowling at Fane. Even Rudy, standing next to Fane, could see through his intentions.Rudy frowned as various thoughts flashed in his head. First of all, he did not know who Edgar was. Furthermore, Edgar had not gotten through to the fifth level from Thousand Leaves City, but from another city instead.Rudy would not be so confused if Edgar had been from Thousand Leaves City. After all, so many things had happened since they entered the Thousand Leaves Tower, and a few people had witnessed Fane's strength.Even though they had some conflicts with the Unbreaking Pavilion in Black Sun City, the disciples that saw Fane had all died. Even if those wandering warriors had told the Unbreaking Pavilion about Fane, Rudy noticed just how eerily swift Edgar recognized Fane.That could not have happened, even if those wandering warriors had described how Fane looked. After all, there was no way to perfectly describe how someone looked. T
