Right after Fane said that, the arguments immediately got louder, "You're just not willing to accept it! Are you looking down on Nash?! What is the meaning of this?!""Whatever, let's not bother with him anymore. This guy keeps on doing strange things. It doesn't matter what he's thinking, as long as we think that Nash has a good chance of getting a black treasure!"Just as the arguments were escalating, the final two barriers finally dispersed. Ethan and Emilio appeared in front of everyone. The alchemists from White Marsh Continent and Chaos Continent immediately stood up and welcomed them.Ethan and Emilio both had similar calm expressions. The two of them exchanged a look, and both of them could see the anger in their eyes. Ethan snorted as he held his head up high while he walked toward where White Marsh Continent was.Emilion frowned, not saying anything as he returned to Chaos Continent's position.Ethan was the first to speak, "Don't worry. The golden treasure from this ro
Emilio was so angry that he started to pant. He looked at Ethan even more angrily. Emilio had never hated Ethan so much before. Even if the two of them had never gotten along, it was just a competitive relationship. He had never hated Ethan as he did at that moment. If he had the chance. Emilio would definitely make Ethan suffer and have him wishing he was dead. Ethan's words had been too appalling, completely looking down on Emilio. It caused even the other alchemists from Chaos Continent to feel incredibly uncomfortable.The Chaos Continent was the strongest out of all three worlds in the end, so they naturally had their own pride. After hearing those words, they could not stand it. An alchemist behind Emilio immediately shouted, "Emilio just doesn't want to have a petty argument with you, so he minded his words. I can't believe you got so conceited. Before the results are even out, you're already so arrogant!"The barrier obscured everything, so you didn't know how the others di
Fane did not react to Ethan's arrogance at all. In Fane's mind, Ethan acting so arrogantly was a normal response. His temperament was exactly like that.It would be strange if he did not act like that. Even though Fane did not react to Ethan's arrogance, he was still stunned by Ethan's words.According to what Ethan said, the news of the result would be spread before they even return. That meant that their results would be sent over through the Heaven Array to the inner city.Looking at their expressions, the other alchemists definitely knew that as well. After all, six groups had already been through the competition. However, Fane was caught off guard, since he had just entered the inner city not long ago. He was not aware that results would be sent back directly after the competition. After thinking about it, he reached out and tapped his hand on the person in front of him. The one in front of him had talked to him before. It was the gray-robed man who had asked him where he g
Fane sighed helplessly as he muttered in his heart. ‘Why are the results not announced yet? Ethan would definitely not stop talking if they did not announce it soon!’Fane could not be bothered to listen, but it was not like Ethan would stop talking if Fane ignored him. Instead, he would just be laughed at even more. To avoid all that trouble, Fane turned to look at Ethan."How should I be acting? Are the results even out yet? Why are you trying to cause a scene like this…"Ethan's face twitched in surprise as he looked at Fane and replied, "Do you really think that you won't lose? Do you still think you can win and get a treasure?"The exasperation in Ethan's voice was incredibly evident. He really wanted to know where Fane got his courage from. Even now, Fane was still talking back to Ethan with such indignance.He seemed even more confident than Emilio, but no one knew where that confidence came from. Ethan laughed in frustration as he looked at Fane with a frown.He thought f
Ethan's lips twitched as his expression darkened. He had been shot at by Fane again. Every time, Fane would ask him to shut up and stop wasting time. In truth, Ethan did not want to waste time on Fane either.The main reason was that Fane's actions had caused him to not be able to hold back. Furthermore, he really wanted to figure out what went on in Fane's mind. Nash frowned as his gaze constantly shifted between Ethan and Fane.He would look at Fane for a moment before looking at Ethan. At that moment, his mood was complicated and exasperated. He felt like there was something definitely wrong with Fane's head, and felt like he was definitely no match for Ethan.It was a conservative estimate when he said he had a fifty percent chance to get a black treasure. In truth, in his own mind, he should have about sixty or seventy percent chance.After all, he came from Scarlet Pavilion and was only a hair away from Rudeus in terms of skill. He was incredibly confident in his alchemic abi
After this round, they would have gotten three golden treasures in total, while Chaos Continent would only have four. The difference would just be one. As long as their alchemists worked a bit harder, they might even end up getting the golden treasure from the eighth group.Then they would be on equal footing with Chaos Continent. It would mean that their alchemists were no weaker than Chaos Continent's."This really vents out my frustrations! The alchemists from Chaos Continent always act so arrogantly toward us. They always feel like they're the best."Now it looks like they're nothing special. We just lost out to them because of some luck and time. In the rounds after this, we'll definitely win back all of our honor!""That's right! I've already said before this that we'll definitely win back everything we've lost! The Chaos Continent has already exhausted all of its talents, while we still have a lot of our top talents!"The White Marsh Continent seemed to be celebrating as if
When he heard that he was in second place and only got a bronze treasure, Ethan went crazy. He could not accept that result, nor could he accept that he was not the best alchemist out of everyone there.Apart from him, who else could get first place and win the golden treasure? It was absurd! It was so absurd that all of the alchemists present could not accept or believe it.Ethan continued to shout, "There must be an error! Other than myself, no one can win the golden treasure. Who could potentially be stronger than me?!"There was only one thought in Ethan's mind at that moment. He did not want to think about anything else, or any other scenario. Ethan was someone incredibly obstinate. At that moment, he was sure that they had calculated the results wrongly. He was certain that he had actually won first place!Everyone's breaths stopped. They might not be as emotional as Ethan, but they were still filled with curiosity and disbelief.That voice did not care about Ethan’s reactio
He walked over to where the alchemists from Hestia Continent gathered. He had a crazed expression on his face as he pushed past the alchemists in front of him until he arrived in front of Fane.The alchemists that were pushed away thought Ethan was acting rudely, but no one dared to say anything. Everyone knew that Ethan had completely exploded at that moment, and could even kill someone.Ethan's eyes were completely bloodshot. Even the muscles on his face were trembling as he looked at Fane with hatred as if Fane was his mortal enemy.He pointed right at Fane's chest, "You're just a sixth-grade alchemist, how did you get the golden treasure ahead of me? It's not fair, there must be an error!"Fane frowned as he was filled with exasperation. He never expected Ethan to be so crazy. Ethan's expression was very strange like he was losing control of himself.Fane sighed helplessly as he said in a relaxed tone, "I might have a sixth-grade alchemist badge, but it doesn't mean my skills
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.
