Fane turned to look at those two and said calmly, "Oh dear, you almost scared me to death!"Are you done now? If you are, hurry and leave. Stop buzzing around like a fly. Let me tell you this: even if you say everything you can, I won't give my space up for you, so leave.""You—!" Rowan almost lost control of himself and rushed over, but Nymm grabbed him firmly by the arm.Even though both of them hated Fane so much that they would not even be able to resolve that hatred if they beat Fane to death, the Whirling World had its rules. Anyone who tried to fight in a restricted area would die.Nymm grabbed Rowan tightly. "Remember where we are now. Hold back, no matter how angry you are. Don't walk to your death!"Rowan panted heavily, his eyes reddening as he did. He truly was about to explode from anger. Otherwise, he would not have lost all his rationality like that. Rowan took a few deep breaths before he managed to repress his anger, though his rage remained.Right at that moment
They knew very well that they would anger the warriors from Star Continent if they said another word.They exchanged reluctant looks with each other, but they accepted their fates and stood up, giving their place to Percy's group.The adamant behaviors of Fane and the black-robed man greatly benefitted Lourain and the others. After all, they had gotten back the seats they just gave up. All of them hurried over to their original seats, but they controlled their expressions, not daring to look happy about it at all. Lourain took a deep breath as he looked over at Fane, but he did not dare say anything at that moment at all. After all, he did not want anyone to know that he and Fane knew each other.The short confrontation had been put to the side for the moment, but everyone knew that it was just the beginning of the storm. As long as they had the chance, the warriors from Star Continent would make the masked man pay a heavy price.Fane remained calm as if everything that had happe
"Get lost! How dare you cut my spot in the queue?! Do you want to die?! I'm from the Swelling Tide Continent. If you're not careful, the whole continent will end up targeting you!""So what if you're from the Swelling Tide Continent? I'm not an insignificant man either! The spot belongs to whoever gets it. If you work with your continent against me, I'll have my companions target you, too. I'm going to fight for what's mine this time! I refuse to make way!""Let me through! I'll kill you all!"Everyone was arguing frantically for the spots that were left, but no one actually attacked anyone. They were just shouting at each other. After all, they did not dare to challenge the rules of the Whirling World.Everyone's eyes were wide open in anger, and if looks could kill, all of them would have been dead.In the end, the skeletal masked caretaker spoke up, "Silence, all of you. Register based on your position in the queue. Anyone who fights will be punished by the rules!"The moment
If Percy could not beat the purple-feathered beast, they would regain what they betted. However, if Percy won, they would be able to make a quick fortune.Lourain coughed before he glanced at Fane. He was eager as well but was worried that he would get angry if he bet on Percy. After all, they just had a brief conflict—and an intense one at that. Him betting on Percy would mean he was siding with the enemy.He would not be willing to voice out his intentions, but he did not want to lose out on a gamble that was a sure win either. It was not just Lourain, but Marth had a similar expression on his face as well.Lourain gulped. He had a conflicted expression on his face as he struggled to decide if he would go. If he went, he would offend Fane. If he did not, he would lose out on a clear opportunity that was plain to see. He was reluctant to do so, so Lourian felt incredibly conflicted.Compared to Marth, Lourain was a lot more impatient. Even if Marth was thinking the same thing, he
Fane garnered a lot of attention when he stood up. Just as everyone was wondering what Fane wanted to do, he slowly left the spectator area and walked toward the betting area. A few people were stunned at the sight."What's he doing? Is he trying to place a bet? How can he even be thinking about that right now?""Who knows? This guy has never done anything sane. He looks like he's going to participate in the bets. Who's he planning on betting on?""It doesn't matter who he bets on; he won't bet on Percy for sure. I think this guy is just trying to provoke Percy by going to place his bet on a weaker warrior!""There's no reason to do that, though. I think Percy will just think that he's doing something pointless. He won't be angered by this at all. What's the man thinking?"Just like that, the discussions got louder. Everyone was trying to guess what Fane was doing. Was he going to place a bet? Who would he bet on in the end?Rowan and the others naturally heard those discussions
Instead, he was already angered by Fane. The way Randall behaved, however, was that he seemed calmer the angrier he was.Randall raised an eyebrow and continued, "This guy will fall into our hands eventually. Keeping an eye on him is a waste of time. It's better to think about how we'll deal with him when we get him."The two others nodded and answered in unison, "Yes, Randall!"The moment that was said, there was a huge commotion from the betting area. A few people there had strange expressions on their faces as if something amazed them. Following everyone's gazes, all of them looked toward Fane.Fane, with his back straight, had taken out his purple gold from his storage space and placed his bet. Everyone was probably surprised at who Fane had betted on. Anything Fane did would always attract a lot of attention.Quite a few curious warriors walked over, trying to see what had happened. Rowan and Nymm were incredibly curious as well. They tried to make out what happened from all
"Even though I don't know what your name is and how you're this brazen, nothing will change what awaits you. Join the battle with you? Are you going to attack me then?"There were no rules against attacking fellow participants on stage. Normally, no one would actually do that. After all, the goal of the participants was to kill the beast, not each other. However, there were exceptional circumstances as well. For instance, since Fane was signing up for the next battle, the warriors from the Star Continent would join in as well, and the target would automatically shift to Fane.Hamish immediately understood what Fane meant; Fane was telling him to compete against him on stage.Absurd, Hamish thought. He looked at Fane as though he was looking at a madman, his lips twitching."You're going too far with your bragging. Are you really going to sign up? What are you planning? Anyone with half a brain would know what'll happen, but you're not afraid. Do you think they'd let you off easily
When it came to that, Fane would completely ignore anything that did not cross the line. After all, he did not want to argue against all of them without stopping like a shrew. There was no meaning to that, and it was a complete waste of time. After he sat back in his original spot, Rowan and the others turned around.They sat in the row right in front of Fane. The earlier conflict with Fane had caused them to hate Fane to the bone, but it also caused them to view Fane as a complete idiot as well. Hence, after they sat down, they stopped arguing with Fane. However, they felt themselves struggling to hold back. Rowan had his eyes narrowed as he looked at Fane.His eyes were full of disdain. He scoffed and said, "It looks like you're not just a complete idiot. At least you know where to place bets and who to place them on. However, I'm very curious. You clearly know we're very strong, and that you can't afford to offend us at all, so why are you so insistent on giving up your life?"Fa
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.
