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
A vibrant glow condensed above him as the Valley Entrance Pass descended and slowly fell into Fane's palm.The pass was cold to the touch, and Fane could feel endless energy coming from it. Fane smirked, revealing a smile. Those six stages were incredibly simple to Fane. Even the hardest stage was just two opponents with lower ultimate god rank techniques. Fane used a storm god rank technique. It was far more powerful than them. Those opponents were just like paper in front of Fane, not a problem for him at all.Fane looked up at everyone. At that moment, all of them had interesting expressions on their faces. They no longer looked at him like an idiot and were instead full of respect and fear. Quite a few people even avoided his gaze.That large-mouthed man from earlier looked like a dog that had just been beaten up. He hid behind and was too scared to show himself. From the sixth stage to the first, Fane had taken less than five minutes. For anyone else, five minutes might not e
If Fane ever saw him again, he would really die. With that in mind, the man clenched his teeth and straightened his body, guaranteeing, "Sir, don't worry. I'll get lost right now!"After he said that, he did not even turn back as he left in a hurry. It got much quieter around them as everyone exchanged looks of worry, afraid that they would be targeted next.Fane said coldly, "You should all be glad that we can't fight in here, or you'd all be dead…"All of them were gossiping about who constantly ridiculed Fane just now. They had talked badly about Fane so much that Fane was being truthful about what he said.If they were in Chaos City, none of them would have been able to escape. Everyone got even quieter. Most of them did not dare to meet Fane's gaze. That was the power of the strong. Fane ignored them as he looked at Jimmy. He quickly arrived in front of Jimmy.He reached out and said to Jimmy, "You've lost. Forty million spirit crystals. Surely you won't go back on your word?
Jimmy narrowed his eyes and clenched his teeth as he looked at Fane. He hated the man! If Fane had just been a bragging idiot, he might have been angry at what Fane said, but he would not have hated the man so much.No wonder the man was talking so recklessly, not caring about the Swelling Tide Continent at all. Case was someone that could not be offended in the eyes of others, but he did not care at all.Everything that had confused him was immediately clear the moment he saw how strong the person was. He was no idiot and had not been purposely annoying them. He truly did not care about Case, and truly did not care about any revenge from the Swelling Tide Continent.Jimmy took a deep breath and his eyes shook slightly. He was starting to regret things. If Case saw that person's abilities, Case would probably regret going against that person too. Everyone knew of how the Swelling Tide Continent acted, but they were no idiots. They still held back when they were facing someone truly
"What do you mean by that?!" Rudy clenched his teeth, "You're just not being reasonable at all. You talk like we're scamming you! Tell me, how did this whole conflict even start? Were we the ones trying to cut the queue? Were we the ones who challenged you first?"Jimmy shot back, "We were the ones who cut the queue! So what? Was I the one who mentioned the bet?""You!" Rudy almost bit his tongue in his anger. Fane reached out and pulled Rudy back. There was no reason to fight like that.In truth, it was still very rowdy everywhere else except where they were as it was dead silent because of the fight.Fane took a deep breath and put on a calm expression. Jimmy's words had been nasty. Jimmy was just trying to accuse Fane without any regard for the truth. Any warrior who was not as calm as he was would have probably been fuming in anger by then.However, Fane never showed any emotion the whole time. No matter what Jimmy said, Fane was indifferent to it.Fane's tone was calm, "You'
Jimmy's anger was already at its limit. He did not like being threatened, but he was powerless in front of someone so strong. Various emotions overtook him, and it was all caused by that man. He would make that man pay. He would not let that man continue to show off in front of him.Various sinister plots surfaced in his mind. He already knew how he was going to tell Case about everything. If Fane knew what Jimmy was thinking, Fane would definitely encourage Jimmy. It was precisely what Fane wanted.Fane wanted the experts of the Swelling Tide Continent to all appear at the fog battlefield. He wanted to leave a deep impression on them so every warrior there would tremble at the sight of him. He needed to be thorough.Only when they truly felt the pain would they stop trying to cause him trouble. That was something he had learned in the Whirling World.With that in mind, Fane smirked. Ever since Case challenged him, his grudge against the Swelling Tide Continent had started.The en
