"No matter what, there's no way he can just let go of this. I wonder if this kid will be able to handle it…"Fane did not care about how everyone else was talking about him. Fane was already used to being the center of discussion. No matter what any of them said, it would not affect him at all.Lesley felt like he was about to explode from his anger at Fane. The disciple from the Deer Pavilion behind him could not stand it at all. After all, Fane's earlier words had not only insulted Lesley but had even looked down on the Deer Pavilion.One of the inner disciples from the Deer Pavilion said loudly, "Brat! I'll remember you from now on. You dared to insult Lesley like that and insult the Deer Pavilion. I'll definitely make sure you pay for it a hundredfold!"Fane looked at that person up and down. He was just an inner disciple from Deer Pavilion, but he was already acting so arrogantly.Fane laughed as he looked over in disdain, "Why do you love to brag just like it? Before the res
Thinking about how the disciples from the Deer Pavilion were acting, Rudy felt like they were a complete joke. He raised an eyebrow as he said, "Even the disciples from high-grade clans wouldn't casually challenge other people and talk down to them. Even if they scorned others, most of them wouldn't express it outwardly."After all, most of the disciples from high-grade clans are of noble birth, and they wouldn't do things that stray too far from morality. Yet, those disciples from the Deer Pavilion don't seem to care about that at all; they publicly stamp down on those they feel are beneath them! Don't they feel like their actions reflect on them incredibly badly?"Rudy could not understand why the disciples of the Deer Pavilion would act that way.The higher grade a clan was, the less likely their disciples would do something like that. Even if they looked down on wandering warriors, they would not try to interfere with the choices of others like what had happened earlier. They wo
The moment its feet touched the ground, the frostfire wolf howled into the blue skies angrily as it unleashed its full might.Fane raised an eyebrow and looked at Lesley, who was in front of the frostfire wolf, with great interest. At that moment, Lesley's expression was not the greatest. The wolf's power was immense, causing Lesley's confidence to be shaken a little.It barely chipped off that gargantuan ego of his, however, as he smirked."Stop trying to show off! You're just a beast while I'm a chosen disciple of the Deer Pavilion. I've killed so many beasts that I've lost count, and you'll be one of them!"From everything that had happened earlier, it was easy to tell that the frostfire wolf was not an actual being. It had been condensed out of energy, but its skills were no different from an actual frostfire wolf!A real frostfire wolf was incredibly intelligent, capable of understanding human speech. The energy-manifested frostfire wolf did not have that ability, but it did
Fane had said that with full conviction as if there was no other outcome of the battle. After those around him heard that, the curiosity in their eyes deepened.Fane was that confident?The man with the mustache frowned and followed up, "Why do you think that Lesley will lose? Is there a reason for that?"Fane already knew that they would ask something like that. He looked up at the stage and said calmly, "You'll know why in just a bit."He had no intention of explaining himself. After all, if he did, it would reveal his secrets to the others, and he had too many secrets on him. The moment he revealed one, it would be easy to figure out his other secrets as well.To prevent himself from becoming a lab rat, Fane decided against saying anything. Those around him were no idiots, either, for the moment they saw that Fane had no plans on explaining, they did not pester him.Everyone held back on the gossip as they looked toward the stage again. Lesley had already pulled out his weapon
All of the vines on the ground were growing in the same direction. The vines that covered the whole stage seemed to have been greatly attracted to the wolf, frantically rushing toward the entangled beast.After being wrapped up in one layer, even more vines started to pile on. In just a few moments, the vines had already covered up the frostfire wolf like a burrito. There were faint signs that the frostfire wolf was still constantly struggling within.Yet, the fines had covered it up too tightly. The struggling merely caused the vines to shake a little. It was unable to break free at all.The scene had quite a few people gaping and commenting on the situation."Lesley has this one in the bag for sure! Here I was, worrying that the beast would be too powerful and that this would be a difficult match. Now, it looks like I've underestimated Lesley. I can't believe he dealt with the beast so easily!""The beast seems a little weak. It's much different from what I thought! Isn't it goi
Thankfully, the stage had been covered by a barrier, stopping the vines from shooting out to the spectators.The next second, everyone saw a massive red-and-blue-coated wolf walk out of the explosion.The wolf stood firmly on the ground as the vines around it had been blown away. It still had some green liquid on its body, but it did not affect the power it was exuding at all!The scene made everyone's jaw drop. The frostfire wolf had actually managed to break free of the vines, turning the vines to dust!The frostfire wolf shot out at Lesley again.Lesley, at this moment, was too flabbergasted at the abrupt change of events. To show off his skills, he had held nothing back when he used the Sky Swallowing Vines earlier, but he never expected that the results would exceed any of his expectations. Even after all of that, he had failed to kill the beast. Instead, the beast had broken out of the trap.At that moment, everyone held their breath in silence, all eyes wide open as no one
If they had not known that the stage had a barrier around it and that they could not get on, they would have rushed up there to protect Lesley!The flames raged for a few moments before slowly receding. The frostfire wolf slowly got closer to the part that was burning the most intensely. After the flames receded, a charred, almost blackened figure was revealed, and everyone could barely recognize him.The moment the sight registered, they forgot to even breathe.Lesley had been burned to a crisp. Looking at him, there was no doubt that he had died. Cries of shock and agony could be heard in the spectator stands.Everyone turned to look at the source of the noise, and they saw that the place where the disciples of the Deer Pavilion were gathered rang out with cries. Everyone knew very well that Lesley was dead.It was far too unexpected. Everything had happened so quickly, so much so that they were caught off guard. They did not expect the beast's power to be so immense that it bur
He had also heard that Arne's family name was King. It looked like he and Lesley were close and should have been blood relatives. No wonder the two of them acted the same way.The match's result was determined in the blink of an eye as the skull-masked caretakers started to walk toward the stage, coming up to clean the aftermath. If no one carried the corpse away, the caretakers would have gotten rid of the body like trash.The disciples of the Deer Pavilion would naturally not let Lesley's body be treated that way. All of them held their sadness back as they picked up Lesley's corpse and left the stage.It was only then did everyone calm down from the shock. The battle had exceeded their expectations. They had thought that they had already seen the results, but the beast actually fought back and killed Lesley.That beast's strength had exceeded any of their imaginations. It was stronger than any regular beast!"Lesley was too unlucky. It looks like that beast was probably the str
