Those harsh words kept on being spoken. The alchemists of White Marsh Continent refused to let Fane off easily. They did everything they could to criticize Fane!Not only did they criticize Fane, but they also insulted all the alchemists from Hestia Continent as well. They did not bother holding back on their words at all.The alchemists from Hestia Continent were incredibly furious listening to those words. All of them were incredibly indignant, and wanted to retort. However, they could not figure out what to say.After all, they were right. Fane definitely was a sixth-grade alchemist. As long as Fane had the badge of a sixth-grade alchemist on his chest, there was nothing they could say that would be more convincing. So, they really had nothing to say bag.They were forced to keep their looks of indignance on their faces, unable to say anything. Since there was nothing they could say, they threw their hatred onto Fane instead.Some of the alchemists from Hestia Continent started
Nash was being completely serious as he said that. He really did think that Fane was a complete weirdo. Otherwise, he would not be acting so brainless.He felt like Fane was crazy, but he did not want one crazy guy to tarnish the reputation of the whole of Hestia Continent. He took a deep breath as he said seriously, "You'd better shut up right now. If you continue speaking, I won't let you off!"Fane raised an eyebrow, not caring as he said, "What can you do to me? Are you planning on attacking me now? I have my own plans for saying this, it has nothing to do with you…"After that, he looked at Ethan again. At that moment, Ethan was laughing vigorously. Fane's lips twitched as he sighed.However, he composed himself after thinking about his earlier plan. He looked up at Ethan and said seriously, "Why don't we make a bet then? If I get a treasure, no matter what kind, then I win. Otherwise, I'll lose. Let's bet a million spirit crystals!"The moment he said that everyone went quie
Yet, the way they treated Fane made it obvious that Fane was no one extraordinary. It was instead that alchemists called Nash who was the leader of those alchemists.Since that was the case, how was Fane so bold? The discussions around them intensified. In the end, Fane's attitude really confused them, since Fane had spoken with such confidence.He might have really been that confident the whole time as if he was really that skilled. After all, there was no way to take back the bet after it was signed, they would have to take out a million spirit crystals if they lost.A million spirit crystals were no small number. Even a chosen disciple from a ninth-grade clan would have to think about it.They were all still young and had not gathered as much wealth as the older alchemists. At that moment, they were starting to get confused. Even Nash did not know what to do.He felt like Fane was completely insane, or Fane would not have done something so crazy. Could Fane really just have too
However, since Fane had signed a contract, they could not say what they wanted to. They even started to anticipate the results of the round, wanting to see if Fane could get a treasure.Two hours were almost up. That wizened old voice was heard once again, and only then did they realize that two hours passed so quickly."Two hours is over, the competition will begin immediately! This time, the competition is very simple. Each of you will have to refine a Purple Sun Pill. It's an ancient pill that is in the middle-seventh grade."The recipe for this pill doesn't exist in third-grade worlds. You have five days to refine it. After five days, we will check your results!"Everyone was stunned after the old voice said that. Every round was different, and they had been wondering what this round would be like.After the announcement, all of them were stunned. Most of them had only heard about the Purple Sun Pill for the first time, regardless of what the effect was, its grade stunned them
On the side of Hestia, Noah was the only one visibly disconcerted. There was a frown on his face as he seemed to be deep in thought.At that moment, a green light shone in the air as small jade tubes descended from the light, falling into the hands of all the alchemists present.Fane reached out and grabbed one. His divine senses entered the tube, and he quickly read the contents of it.The tube was, in fact, the recipe for the Purple Sun Pill. The contents were incredibly detailed and even specified certain important parts that needed to be focused on. Furthermore, the tube had various rules that were specific to this round.All the materials had been prepared and were placed under the furnaces. Everyone had only two chances, so there were three sets of materials prepared. Failing the third time would mean instant elimination, and despite how well they performed, there would be no consideration given.There was even a small paragraph written down. On it was the fact that the Purp
"They're going to ask us about the pills we refined and if we succeeded once we go back. They'd laugh at us if we answer honestly!""That's right! It's obvious that this round is set to make things difficult for us! I regret joining the seventh group now. If I knew it'd get this difficult, I wouldn't have joined. I should've just joined earlier or later!"Complaints began to pop as they bemoaned their fate.Before this, they were convinced that they had gotten lucky. After all, they were given a lot of time, and the Purple Sun Pill's grade had been so low.When they knew that the Purple Sun Pill actually needed 983 ancient pill runes, none of them believed they were that lucky anymore. Instead, they felt like 'difficult' was a poor description of their predicament.They felt like they were being attacked by the difficulty instead.Of everyone present, Fane was the only one who showed not much of a reaction while everyone else was, interesting enough, panicked.Ethan sighed as he
Nash's eyes widened as he questioned Fane.For a moment, Fane did not know what to say. He assumed that no one would bother talking to him, seeing as he was the only odd one out with his odd behavior, yet Nash actually approached him first and asked him a question.Fane frowned. He did not want to have anything to do with Nash, but alas, Nash's question attracted quite a few gazes. Practically all of the alchemists from Hestia next to Fane turned to look at him curiously. Some of them began to approach him with questions, too."That's true. Are you not scared? You're just a sixth-grade alchemist. Just five thousand pill runes should be difficult enough for you, let alone with nine hundred and eighty-three pill runes within. Are you not worried at all? Do you think you'll be able to condense those ancient pill runes?""Surely you don't think five days is a lot of time? Do you think that you'll be able to condense nine hundred and eighty-three ancient pill runes in five days, and rea
The barrier of mist seemed ethereal as it blocked everyone's line of sight, leaving everyone stunned at the sudden change.The familiar wizened voice was heard again. "After choosing a furnace, a barrier will be placed around you, cutting off all contact with the outside world. When you've refined a pill or decided to give up, you can get rid of the barrier."Fane raised an eyebrow at this and could not help but feel impressed by the competition's organizer. Everything had been properly arranged. With the barrier, he would be spared a lot of trouble.He did not have to worry about anyone interrupting him. After all, he would be separated from the outside the moment the barrier was up. The person inside would not know how others were progressing and thus would not feel pressured. They would be able to get past five days peacefully.Fane let out a sigh as he frowned and looked at the furnaces. He could not control what everyone else was doing, but his only thought was just to quickly
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.
