"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
Even so, he still felt like the energy was exceptionally heavy and hard to control. When he carved the seals, he was so tired that he was drenched in sweat. No matter what world avatar it was, they still needed to carve ninety-six seals. At that moment, Case had already carved thirteen.Those thirteen seals had a lot of flaws on them, but Case no longer cared about that. He wanted to focus on carving all of them first.The world avatar had a unique point to it. Even though ninety-six seals needed to be carved, only fifty-seven of them needed to use a world avatar.Of course, the more perfect the seals were, the stronger the world avatar would be. However, Case no longer cared about how perfect his seals are. As long as he could make sure that fifty-seven of the seals could be, it would already be quite impressive. He did not know what was happening outside at all."Aren't you going in?" A black-robed man from Swelling Tide Continent looked at Jimmy and said. The man might be from t
Every single one of the seals was composed of over 100 strokes. Fane needed to control the energy and slowly carve it stroke by stroke while making sure there was nothing left out in the middle.Time slowly ticked away, and after six hours, Fane only managed to carve 10 seals.It was just too slow. To get to the first stage, he needed 96 seals, and with only 10 seals carved, he was 86 seals away. He felt like he had just taken one step in a long journey.He was allowed to make mistakes with the seals as long as he could ensure that 57 of them could work properly, but he did not want any mistakes.Everyone else was just not able to realize it when they made mistakes since they had no experience with carving the seals, but Fane was different. He had his absorbed memories, and the two heroes were top existences from a first-grade world. They truly stood at the peak and had formed all nine stages of their world avatars.With so much experience, it would be such a waste if Fane made an
Case was irked the moment he recalled Fane's face. In his impatience, he wanted nothing more than to see that man again.At that moment, Jimmy hurried toward Case with an anxious look on his face.Case frowned, feeling like something was wrong with Jimmy's expression. Could something have happened? At that moment, he was not in a good condition. Even though he had gained a lot, he had used up all his true energy. He felt like he was barely keeping himself standing upright.Jimmy could tell that Case was in a weaker state and swallowed what he was about to say. He reached out to support Case, but Case did not care about that at that moment. He frowned and asked, "Where's that guy? Where's the masked guy? Don't tell me he ran away. Can't you even do something that simple?!"Case was absolutely furious. If that guy escaped, he would not let Jimmy off easily. After all, Fane had insulted and embarrassed him in public. Not only that, but Fane mocked the whole Swelling Tide Continent as
Case straightened himself and frowned, saying coldly, "What happened?! Stop beating around the bush and tell me everything!"Jimmy's lips twitched as he tried to figure out what to say after that. He said helplessly, "After you entered Cloud Valley, that guy went to challenge the Killing Illusion Array. I was with him to see his results, but he asked me if I wanted to bet against him. The two of us would compete to see who needed less time."Jimmy was only embarrassed by the things he said, but had to fess up. He did not want Case to find out from anyone else, so it was better for him to just explain everything.Case said with an exasperated look, "What? That guy wanted to bet against you? Isn't he overestimating himself too much? Who does he think he is? The Killing Illusion Array isn't something that easy to pass. He even thought he was faster than you?! What a joke!"Case was baffled by what Jimmy said, genuinely wondering if Fane was deluded. Everything the guy did just seemed
Despite Jimmy's confession, Case felt it was too surreal.How? Who was that guy? That guy was just an insignificant man in Case's eyes. All he knew was to brag!Case took a deep breath. He felt like his eyes were about to catch fire. "Tell me everything again!"Jimmy could do nothing but repeat everything.Case was finally sure that he had not been hearing things, that everything he heard was indeed true. He gritted his teeth as his eyes widened in anger. He felt like his whole body was burning.That guy who came out of nowhere was causing him trouble at every front! He was getting more and more troublesome as well. Case thought that he would just be dealt with easily, but he was actually so strong. Even stronger than Jimmy!Jimmy frowned as he grabbed Case's arm. "Case, we should forget about anything else for now. The main thing we have to do is focus on figuring out how to get rid of this guy. He's a seed of disaster and is an enemy. As long as he gets the chance, he'll seek
It was not just those three familiar faces either. Upon closer inspection, there were other warriors from the Swelling Tide Continent behind them. The three of them walked to Fane, blocking Fane's way.Fane smirked at this, and he wondered if someone was looking after him from above.He had just been wondering how much effort it would take to find those people, yet there they were, waiting for him and even stopping him on his way.Case looked at Fane with an expression that was no longer disdain. It was a complicated and serious look, as if Fane was a different person.Case took a deep breath. "Do you still remember what you said before this?"Fane nodded. Of course he did, and very clearly at that. "Are all of you planning on joining the fog battlefield with me?"Case narrowed his eyes as he gave Fane a once-over. In truth, he had been trying to see how Fane would react to all of them. They waited here because they wanted to take part in the fog battlefield, using the chance to
