"You're right! Thank you for the reminder. I would've missed out on this if you hadn't told me. Once I make the money, I'll make sure to treat you to a good meal!"After the betting area opened, a few people calculated how much they had won from the previous battle. Most of them only managed to win a few thousand spirit crystals, but such an amount meant nothing in the eyes of above-average warriors. It was possibly enough only for a single meal!Even regular warriors thought it was a pitiful sum; they could not buy anything with this. Nonetheless, it was good enough that they managed to make a profit out of it.Lourain saw everyone standing up, and he looked over at Marth with a conflicted expression. Marth happened to look over as well. Their gazes met, and the thoughts in their heads were very evident.It was rather funny. The two of them had been mortal enemies who wanted to kill each other, but as things slowly changed with time, their attitudes started to change. After all, t
"Stop guessing at random. Don't you see he's been looking at the betting area the whole time? Don't forget, this guy placed a huge bet just now!"The moment that was said, everyone realized what was happening. It was true! All of them had forgotten it.The guy might have had a sharp tongue and went against the Star Continent with everything he said, but everything he did render everyone dumbfounded. No matter how much he seemed to be against Percy and the others, he still placed his bet on Percy. His thoughts contradicted his actions.Fane steadily walked toward the betting area. When he initially placed his bet, the odds were at 1:1.06. With the odds, it was not like there was much profit to be made. However, Fane had betted a whole 20 million spirit crystal and thus earned 1.2 million in profit.That sum was a huge one for a lot of the people around. Some of them did not even have that sum if they added up all their fortunes. When Fane had put down a 20 million bet, it shocked qu
They were in a restricted area. No matter how much Fane crossed the line, there was no way they could do anything to him. They would have to bear with it. If he managed to slip away after he left and changed his looks, they would not be able to recognize him from then on.The mere thought of that made their expressions sour, even Percy's.Even though Percy maintained his prideful look when he argued with Fane earlier, he was, in truth, furious. He wanted nothing more than to rip Fane apart. He would really suffer if he did not manage his revenge in the end. The thoughts could very well affect his training and end up causing him trouble in the future. Just thinking about that caused Percy to get even angrier.He decided that they could not let Fane get out of the Capture Hall. Even if Fane tried to come out with a million excuses in the end, they had to punish him severely.Percy took a deep breath and said, "You're right. He could just be toying with us. We have to figure out a pla
Even if they planned something, it would be useless against him. Thus, Fane raised an eyebrow and returned to his seat.Percy then said, deliberately raising his voice for all to hear, "You know, we can all tell that you're not crazy or an idiot, so you're just a liar."Everyone turned around at the same time. They thought that there would be a temporary end to the conflict, but that was not the case after all.Fane raised an eyebrow as he coldly looked at Percy, not bothering to answer at all as he waited for Percy to continue.Percy's lips stiffened when he saw how Fane barely reacted. Everything the man did seemed out of the ordinary. Should Fane not be trying to defend himself for his dignity?Nonetheless, that did not trouble Percy too much. He took a deep breath and continued, "You're planning on going back on your word later, aren't you? You'll find a load of excuses, too. With your talent with words, you'll be able to come out with something amazing. I think that won't be
Someone said with a puzzled expression, "What's going on here? I agree with Percy and that this guy is a liar, but I don't understand what he said after that. If Percy honestly forgives him, I'll change my name to his!""I don't think that's very likely. The Star Continent's warriors are famous for being unforgiving. Anyone who offends them will be targeted by the whole continent, and that guy has ticked off one too many offensive acts on their list, humiliating the entire continent. He had been so rude, so how could Percy let that guy go?"Fane laughed at that. Percy really was interesting. He had just been wondering what kind of trick Percy was going to pull and what he would say, but it was actually something so crazy.He said he wanted to grant him mercy, did he? Percy even said that he was not an idiot right before that. Percy's words definitely sounded like they thought he was an idiot.Fane laughed as he nodded. "Then tell me, how are you going to show me mercy?"Percy coul
"Even though this guy has a mask on and no one knows which clan he comes from or what skill level he's at, there's no way he'll be able to face Randall. With Randall's skills, he's probably firmly at the level of a top fifteen warrior in the Whirling World."Anyone who's able to stand at the top twenty would be very famous. There's no way anyone with that skill would do something like this, and there's no way they'd hide how they look as well! So, this guy is definitely a weakling whose only talent is bragging! There's no way someone insignificant like that would be so suicidal."We thought there was something wrong with his head before this, but he spent twenty million spirit crystals betting on his opponent, winning a million and two hundred thousand in one go. How could someone like that be stupid? Instead, he's probably someone quite intelligent. There's no way someone like that would be suicidal. So, Percy must be sure that the guy will regret it. That's why he did this."A gre
Rowan's hatred for Fane was like an endless sea. It was already at the level where he felt like he would not be able to live as long as Fane did too. Since Fane was stepping on the battlefield, then he had to make sure to send Fane off personally!Otherwise, he would not be able to release the anger in his heart. The guy was acting so arrogantly just because he was in a restricted area. They could do nothing to him either, letting him insult them as he pleased. He wanted nothing more than to charge over. Rowan remembered all those grudges very well, he would make sure to get the revenge personally!Percy looked at Rowan with a frown, "No! Don't act so impulsively. I know you want to teach him a lesson yourself, but you can't cause yourself to lose out because of this. This is Randall's battle. I was planning on letting you and Nymm join one battle. The two of you can help each other, and you should be able to win. As long as you're lucky enough, you'll be able to get three Life Point
Fane had constantly challenged them. Rowan clenched his teeth. Everything was already set in stone anyway. There was nothing else to fear. After Fane had signed up, there were already no chances for him to change his decision. So, Rowan had nothing to fear.Rowan scoffed, "Brat! Stop with your snide tone, do you think you can beat me?"Fane laughed and said calmly, "Stop speaking as if you're such an amazing person. Who says I can't beat you? Even if all of you fought me at the same time, you'd still be no match for me! Go ahead and sign up!"Rowan laughed when he heard that, "I really have to give it to you, you sure are good at bragging! The three of us together won't be a match for you? Do you even hear what you're saying? Don't you think it's such a joke?"Fane smiled and said, "I don't want to waste any time talking to you either. If you think you can easily beat me, then show it. Otherwise, shut your mouth!"Rowan stood up angrily. He looked at Fane with narrowed eyes, "Are
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.
