Sure enough, they needed to always be on the highest alert. Even if they were acting differently, they needed to spot it instantly.Fane took a deep breath as he faced Lourain and Marth, who were still investigating their bodies, saying, "It's just a little below your heart."When they heard Fane's instruction, they quickly found the ember controlling their emotions. It was easy to notice, but the difficult part was the fact that they did not realize it. They thought that they themselves were the cause of their loss of control, which was the scariest part. They almost failed because of that.Without the control of the fire, the two of them still did not like each other, but they would not confront each other like before. It was because they knew that their goal in being there was to enter Violet City and not fight each other to the death.After the three of them got rid of the fire in their hearts, the fire killing array was basically over. Fane got up again and sighed. "Be on your
Lourain turned to look at Marth with a complicated expression on his face. There were various emotions in his eyes; a lot of hatred and anger but hesitation as well. He took a deep breath before he mustered the courage to look at Fane."Fane, forgive me for what I've done. I said many harsh things to you before this purely out of ignorance. I thought you were someone who only knew how to brag. I was blind. Please forgive me and spare my life."They were in an area that restricted fighting, so Fane could not attack him there. However, with Fane's skills, it would be very easy for him to do something to him. No matter how prideful he was, Lourain did not dare to offend Fane. He prayed that Fane would show him some mercy.Fane looked at Lourain. "So are you planning on moving alone?"Lourain nodded. He did not dare to keep following Fane. If Fane got unhappy with him, he would be eliminated with just a wave while he could not fight back at all.To Lourain, Fane was like a ticking tim
That was the most reliable plan. Fane could not trust Lourain at all. He saw through Lourain's personality, and he would surely spill everything to the world when given the chance, which would no doubt garner much attention.Fane was not afraid, but he did not want too much trouble either. It was better to keep him around.Marth's eyes widened as he said in a hoarse voice, "Fane! If one person is following you, you might as well have two. Why don't I stay with you as well? After all, Violet City is a level-two city. If I'm not careful, I might run into danger. Staying by your side will make things a lot safer. Don't worry, I won't trouble you!"Fane raised an eyebrow as he looked at Marth meaningfully. After thinking about it, Fane nodded. After all, they were not in Chaos City. They needed to follow the rules for all the challenges. As long as the two of them did not participate, they would not be able to drag him down. Since that was the case, Marth could follow them if he wanted
Marth wanted so badly to rush and see what was inside Violet City.Violet City was a level-two city, so there was something unique about it. Even if Marth could not gain any profits from the city, it was good to experience things and expand his horizons.Fane raised an eyebrow and looked at Marth, about to say something when a red glow suddenly appeared from his hand. He looked down and noticed that the words 'Capture Hall' suddenly appeared on the badge that had nothing on it. What was the Capture Hall?Amid his confusion, a faint red light suddenly came from the badge, pointing toward the north. Fane immediately understood that the badge was leading him to the Capture Hall. Could the badge be of use there?Lourain and Marth looked over curiously as well. Fane raised an eyebrow and said, "To the Capture Hall!"The Vibrant Hall was within Violet City. All of the challenges in the various cities had their special names. It was possible the Capture Hall was not far away from the Vib
The moment they entered the Capture Hall, they were shaken by the atmosphere. After they entered, what greeted them was a massive flight of stairs. The two of them walked up to the top, and what they saw was a massive arena. The audience filled up the stands, and they were shouting and cheering loudly."The wings! Cut the wings off! Why are you staring at its tail? This is getting frustrating. I bet three million on you! Do you know what that can buy?! Fight properly already!""Why are you so anxious?! I told you to bet your crystals on Toulson or Nilah, but you didn't listen. What's the point of being so anxious now? If that guy manages to get the most Life Points, I'll let you kick my head!"Most of the warriors in the stands were in complete fervor. They were shouting and screaming, cursing every minute. It caused Fane to frown in annoyance. He hated noisy places like this the most, after all. Nonetheless, he had to deal with it. After all, there was nothing he could do to change
Lourain said in a low voice, "His arm is probably crippled now. It's not just completely burned, he was rubbing the burnt area on the floor just now. The flesh on his arm is completely injured. It’s horrible to look at…"Quite a few people could not help but raise their eyebrows at the situation.However, it was still not the end of everything. He had just managed to catch his breath when a gust of wind was felt from behind. With a boom, the beast's wing sent the person flying. He flew up in the air like a piece of trash, slamming into the protective barrier.He spat out blood and immediately lost consciousness. Everyone could clearly see his blood on the transparent barrier, which caused everyone to fall even more silent.Quite a few of them got goosebumps from the sight. That man was just too pitiful. He had just extinguished the flames when he got sent flying by the beast's wing, slamming onto the protective barrier and immediately passing out. At that moment, it was unclear if
Lourain did not look too good. No matter how arrogant and full of himself he had been before, he no longer dared to act the same after witnessing the scene in front of him. It was not somewhere a warrior like him would be able to show off.Warriors like him should have stayed in level four or level five cities. Level two cities were way much above their level. Marth shook his head, deciding not to think about it anymore. He looked at Fane instead. Only someone as strong as Fane would be able to show off and win himself some glory at a place like this.However, the three of them had just been spectating the whole time after they entered. They had yet to find out about the rules of the place."Fane, why don't we go ask around about the rules here? I heard someone talking about bets earlier, so I think there's some gambling involved. I just don't know how," Marth said.Fane turned to look at a pillar at the center of the hall, "The rules should all be there. Just look at all the words
The treasure for the first level was even crazier. It was a Twinleaf Heartgrass. Those things did not even exist in third-grade worlds, and they only grew in a small minority of second-grade worlds. They had very stringent requirements to grow. Not only did they need incredibly low temperatures, but very dense spiritual energy as well.The Twinleaf Heartgrass could not be easily bought even with the crystal. It was worth around a hundred and thirty million. It was even more expensive than ninth-grade spirit crystals. Even a warrior from one of the best clans would be very tempted by it.However, one needed seven Life Points to get a Twinleaf Heartgrass. It meant that someone would need to be an incredibly pivotal part of the battle to be able to get that.Lourain clenched his teeth, "That reward would tempt anyone, but the rules are very strict as well. Everyone can only participate once, so you only get one chance. Even though I don't know what the name of the beast on the stage or
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.
