If they were not able to pass the first stage even with their full might, there was no hope of them passing anyway!A white-robed man shook his head. "Hold on! You should start with the fourth stage to give yourself some confidence. There's no limit to the time you can use during the challenges anyway, so you can recover as you fight! Just deal with the earlier stages first, and you can use your power in the first stage!"That way, your chances for success will be much higher. After all, if you do the first stage first, you'll still need to be wary of the later stages, and you won't want to use up too much true energy. You might look like you're at full strength, but you're actually holding back, and the skills you can use are limited!"When that person said that, everyone else nodded, feeling like he was right. However, someone else jumped out to refute him, "You're right, but not quite so. You have to think about things holistically. If you put the first stage in front, you can me
Fane had met many warriors from second-grade worlds with the same kind of attitude as Jimmy had. They always wanted to show how special they were, and they would do their best to use their words to push others back.Fane regularly had to deal with nonsense like that. He did not bother with it at all.Jimmy's lips twitched as he glared at Fane viciously. He gritted his teeth and looked at Fane. "Fine, keep being proud of yourself! Let's see how long you can maintain this farce! Once you start, people will know you were just bragging! Let's see if you still have the guts to talk to me like this afterward."Fane scoffed as he looked at Jimmy in disdain. He took out a piece of purple gold from Mustard Seed. It was not too big, only about the size of half a fist worth five million spirit crystals. The illusory stone nearest to Fane happened to be empty.Not wanting to waste time, Fane walked over, but the moment he did, he heard Jimmy speak, "You just love to brag, don't you?! Do you st
Unless they passed or failed, the challengers would not wake up. At that moment, the square-faced man seemed to be in a difficult spot. Even though his eyes were closed, they could see his eyeballs constantly moving about and the sweat forming on his forehead.His arms were on his legs, and his fists were clenched tightly. He looked incredibly tense. He was already at the most important moment. There were six crystals on the illusory stone. It represented the six stages.Everyone could see the situation from the crystals on the stones. The square-faced man had the third and fifth stones lit up, while the rest were dimmed.It meant that he had only passed the third and fifth stages. Even though his body would not be harmed, they could tell from the body condition he was in. Everyone could tell that he was not really able to hold on. However, he had only been able to pass two out of the six stages. If this went on, he would only be able to light up another stone at most before the squ
If he did not make them pay the right price, they would not be afraid. He had to make sure they felt enough pain so they would not cause him any more trouble in the future. In Fane's eyes, the warriors from the Swelling Tide Continent were like troublesome wild dogs.He had to make sure they suffered enough pain so they would not cause him trouble in the future. With those thoughts in mind, Fane made his decision. He turned to look at Jimmy. Jimmy raised an eyebrow and looked at Fane. What did that guy want?Why was he looking at him? Fane smiled before turning around and walking a few steps forward causing Jimmy to frown. Could the guy be regretting things and not planning on challenging the Killing Illusion Array?Everyone else was curious too. Fane suddenly laughed and said, "Why don't we make a bet?"Jimmy's lips twitched. What was he trying to do this time? He looked at Fane with hatred. Jimmy was certain that Fane was not going to challenge the Killing Illusion Array because
"Does he even know what he's doing?! He's even betting forty million. How crazy!"No matter what everyone else said, Fane did not show that much emotion on his face. He looked at Jimmy calmly, waiting for Jimmy to respond. Jimmy looked back at Fane with a speechless expression as if Fane was crazy.However, his exasperation was one thing. Forty million was no small number. Since the guy wanted to give it to him, he had no reason to refuse.Jimmy scoffed and nodded, "Since you want to gamble so much, I'll grant you your wish. We'll do as you say. If I lose, I'll give you forty million spirit crystals. If you lose, you have to give me forty million!"Fane nodded calmly, not looking worried at all. Jimmy's lips twitched as he looked at Fane, feeling like there was something wrong with Fane. From the first moment he talked to Fane, Fane had never acted normally.Fane had practically offended everyone he could. Fane took out four pieces of purple gold from Mustard Seed that were worth
Fane turned to look at the person that was talking. That person came from a second-grade world and did not look too great. His mouth was exceptionally big. That person had mocked him quite a bit before this. Every time Fane said something, that person would add a few words.Fane narrowed his eyes, remembering how that person looked. If Fane had the chance, he would definitely make sure the big-mouthed man regretted what he said.Fane turned around and looked at Jimmy, "I'm not trying to provoke you, I just think that you might not have the guts to challenge me anymore if I go first."Jimmy was getting frustrated when he heard that, "Hey, brat, stop trying to talk as if you're some amazing genius. No one is going to question you if you don't say anything. Can you please look at yourself in the mirror?"Are you even capable of achieving any results with your meager skills? I don't even think you can pass three stages, let alone six!"Rudy could no longer hold back. He started to sho
The illusory stone had been activated, and everyone surrounded Jimmy, watching the crystals on the stones. At that moment, not a single one of the crystals lit up, but everyone knew that all of them would eventually.The large-mouthed man said in admiration, "Which stage do you think he'll challenge first? Even though none of the stages will be that difficult for him, we can use this as a reference. After all, it's still not an easy challenge, and he needed to bet on time too."As he said that, he started to laugh. The others around him laughed as well. After all, those warriors that knew of the whole situation just felt like Fane was acting in an absolutely absurd manner.Someone there said, "Hey, everyone, stop laughing. If this guy wins, I'll write my name backward from now on. Jimmy probably doesn't really care too much either. As long as he doesn't run, let's leave him be. We should be looking at how Jimmy's challenging everything."All of them nodded, feeling like that person
Time ticked away, and after another five minutes, the crystals showed no signs of changing. Everyone started to wonder what was happening. The initial progress had been so quick, so why did everything suddenly stop? Has Jimmy run out of energy?It did not sound possible. Jimmy was not weak, and the Swelling Tide Continent was one of the stronger ones as well. Jimmy should not be stuck there. Then, everyone suddenly noticed that Jimmy was frowning. His hands were clenched tightly. It was obvious he was not in a good condition.Even though the physical body did not need to fight, the physical body still controlled the clone. The clone would affect the physical body's mental condition. It was obvious that Jimmy was facing something difficult which shocked everyone. However, it did not last for too long.In just a few more moments, the crystal representing the first stage was lit up. Everyone suddenly realized what happened. No wonder Jimmy had been stuck for so long, he had been at the
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.
