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
Fane raised an eyebrow, not even sparing Jimmy another glance as he walked in front of the stone. He ignored all the other noises as he sat down.The discussions around him got louder, "I wondered what sort of excuse he would have, but he actually went over.""What could his excuse be? With things at this stage, excuses are useless. He's the one who brought this onto himself. He's already said so many nasty things. He no longer has any path to retreat to. I want to see how he'll act after his results are out!""I'm really looking forward to the results too. His expression will definitely be very interesting. He won't be able to say anything then!""Who knows? This guy always surprises us. He might end up with a lot of excuses once the results are out, but it will all be useless then."Fane took a deep breath, not caring about what everyone else was saying at all. He shut his eyes, and his soul was sent into the illusory stone. Suddenly, his body felt blank. When he opened his eyes
That large-mouthed man had practically shouted that out. He looked like he was worried that they would talk about Fane too much. After all, he had insulted Fane too much earlier. He did not want to admit that he was wrong, so he frantically talked down to Fane.He tried to find every excuse possible to show that Fane had managed to pass so quickly because Fane had not held back at all and that Fane would not be able to pass the later stages so easily. Fane would definitely fail!With how frantically he was explaining things, quite a few of them agreed with him, feeling like he was right. After all, Fane never did anything normal.Right at that moment, the crystal representing the fifth stage lit up! The discussions stopped instantly. Everyone widened their eyes as they looked at the second crystal that lit up, unable to say anything.When the first crystal lit up so quickly, they could still use all sorts of reasons to convince themselves, but when the second one did just as quickl
He had been so arrogant earlier not because there was something wrong with his head, but because he really did have the skills to back it up. He had not been bragging but speaking the truth. When they thought about that, everyone's expressions changed.Someone mumbled to themselves, "What? Could this guy have been speaking the truth the whole time? If he was, then we can't underestimate this guy. Case might actually be nothing in his eyes."Everyone nodded at that. Jimmy was not far away, so they did not dare to speak ill of Case too much. However, no one there was an idiot. They understood what it all meant.Jimmy started breathing roughly as he looked at the illusory stone. At that moment, he was completely stiff. He had complicated emotions, but he was doing his best to control himself. He could not reveal his thoughts, or he would end up being laughed at.He clenched his teeth and whispered to himself, "This guy is a potential problem. I can't let him live…"The moment he said
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.
