In just a few words, Case had designated Fane as a dog and determined that Fane was acting this way under orders. Everyone was suddenly looking at Fane differently. Even though being a dog was honestly nothing much, it was still not the nicest thing to hear.Rudy was so angry his face was turning red. Who was Kendall even?! Case had fabricated everything to insult Fane! That disgusting man was calling someone else disgusting instead! It was as if he was not the one in the wrong and he was not the one acting shamelessly!His skills in twisting the truth were admittedly admirable. Fane scoffed as he looked at Case coldly, "Stop trying to smear me. You speak as if you're telling the truth. You told me to not act like everyone else is an idiot, but I should be telling you that instead. Did you forget how our conflict started? Even if you're an idiot, you should at least retain some memory!"Hearing that, everyone immediately realized that they had only started fighting because Case had
All of the warriors there had the same thought in their minds, that Fane was done for, and that the Swelling Tide Continent would never let that go.Fane's actions had not only challenged Case but the whole continent. With how the warriors from that continent were, they would never let Fane off. They would target Fane endlessly. Unless that masked man finally dies at their hands, they would never relent!Some of the warriors were feeling sad for Fane while some were amused. Fane did not care about how anyone else was thinking at all. At that moment, his full focus was on the stone. After he stood there firmly, a faint energy enveloped Fane's body, and an old voice could be heard in his mind, "Focus your full attention! Summon up all your true energy and use all your soul energy to fuse with this energy!"Fane took a deep breath, summoning up all his power as that old voice had said, putting it into that thin energy around him. Time slowly flowed, and the stone finally showed results
Rudy had been with Fane for so long in Fane's journey, and no one knew Fane's talents better than Rudy did. With so much talent and skill, Fane was only at 20% compatibility. Rudy could not accept that at all. It felt too absurd!How was that possible?! It was unthinkable! Having low compatibility with the laws meant that it would be very difficult for Fane to master the attributes as he trained. That was because attributes were subsets of the laws. Since it was hard to understand attributes, it meant that Fane would not be able to use high-level techniques at all. That was a natural consequence.Yet, the skills that Fane used were far greater than any ordinary person could imagine. Otherwise, he would never have been able to reach his heights. No one ever managed to defeat Fane.Rudy gulped and blurted in disbelief, "The stone is probably damaged… The results aren't accurate! They can't be!"When everyone around him heard that, everyone laughed in disdain. After all, they knew not
Octavius scoffed and said, "Do you need to ask? I told you you'd pay the price!" Fane calmly continued, "Then, once I'm out of Cloud Valley, I'll participate in the fog battlefield with all of you."It was not just Octavius, but everyone else who heard Fane was stunned as well. What was wrong with this guy? Was he unaware of what he said? Did he forget the results? He wanted to enter Cloud Valley with just 20% compatibility?He even said that he would take part in the fog battlefield with them after coming out of Cloud Valley! Was he crazy?Case was speechless at that, already sure that Fane was crazy.There was no point in wasting his breath on a madman, but it was not like he could just not say anything. He would end up losing his pride if he held back. Case's lips twitched, wanting to rush forward to beat Fane up, but he was forced to hold back due to the laws of the place.He gritted his teeth and said, "Are you crazy? Do you know what you're saying? Everyone saw your result
"Everyone knows of Cloud City's various rules. Just look at how arrogantly he's acting! He probably doesn't think that the fog battlefield is dangerous at all. I think he's just messed up. He doesn't have blind confidence; he's just bragged too much and isn't willing to admit he's wrong."After he said that, a lot of people around the man nodded in agreement. They felt like Fane deep down knew his place yet was stubborn to admit it due to his pride.In the end, they were not allowed to fight without any reason there. No matter how angry the other party got, all they could do was say a few words. Fane already offended them anyway, so he might as well say a bit more and it would not change anything.Case felt like he would just get more frustrated arguing with Fane, but he still did not want to let it drop.Case clenched his fists. "Remember what you've said! Fine, I'll hold you to your word. If you have the ability to get in Cloud Valley…"After he said that, he paused. His lips tw
"Who knows what he's thinking? We've seen what happened anyway, and they're not going to let him off the hook. He's going to suffer now. None of the warriors from the Swelling Tide Continent are going to let him off! They won't rest until they torture this guy to death!""He knew what'll happen but still insisted on facing them head-on. What do you think he's thinking?""Whatever, let's stop guessing. Unless we're him, no one will know what he's thinking. We don't need to know either. After all, he's probably just a madman."Case walked down the stone, and Octavius went up right after that. The results came out very quickly as well. He managed to get his entrance pass in just a few moments.Everyone looked at them with looks of admiration, lamenting that the strong would always remain at the top of the pyramid. When they went through the tests, only one out of a hundred was lucky enough to pass, but those two managed to get it in just one try. Prodigies would always be prodigies, n
Case's lips twitched. He decided to turn away, shooting a look at Octavius. Octavius nodded, and the two of them took their entrance passes and entered Cloud Valley. Only Jimmy was left behind, facing Fane.Everyone looked at them, amused.Looking at the three men, some people felt like Fane was shooting his foot. The man surely did not expect anyone to stay and keep an eye on him.In truth, Fane did not even think about that at all. Since someone was there to look at him, he would simply allow it. It was not troublesome, anyway.Fane said calmly, "You can follow me if you want, but don't start talking nonsense. I don't have the time to waste on you."After saying that, Fane left without turning around. The Killing Illusion Array was right on the other side.Jimmy's lips twitched, wanting to ridicule Fane, but he did not want to be irritated in the process. Thus, he swallowed his words and followed behind, going toward the Killing Illusion Array. At that moment, everyone started
The moment Rudy saw only two crystals lit up on the stone, he was stunned. He could not believe what he was seeing at all. After all, his experiences were far more convincing than anything else, so he found it hard to accept the results that the stone showed.Nonetheless, everyone had a point—the creator of the stone was the same person who created the Whirling World. Even if everyone there was wrong, that ancient hero could not be. Otherwise, he would never have been able to make the Whirling World.The world was able to host innumerable warriors, too.Those conflicting feelings continued the whole time, causing Rudy's mind to feel scrambled. He did not know whether or not to believe the stone.However, his past experiences told him that Fane's results could not be that bad. There were nine crystals on the stone, and Fane would have at least lit up eight of those crystals. Only that would reflect Fane's skills.Fane smiled, saying calmly, "The stone wasn't wrong. I do have twenty
