He stared at Fane with widened eyes before he looked at the token in Fane's hands, he even wondered if he was dreaming. Otherwise, there was no way he would see something so absurd. That guy actually left the token with the gold difficulty behind. He had handed the other to the caretaker.Monte said, "Hey, Lane, did you mix up the rules? The one remaining is the difficulty you're choosing, not the one you don't want!"Fane raised an eyebrow. He nodded at Monte calmly, indicating that he was not mistaken. He had chosen precisely that. Monte's lips twitched. He looked like he had been choked and was unable to say anything. He could not understand what that man was doing at all.Was that man suicidal? Was he trying to entertain everyone? Does he not know what the gold difficulty represented? Monte looked at Fane like a complete idiot.The spectators were in an uproar at that moment as well. It sounded like there were hundreds of thousands of flies buzzing about at that moment, causi
At that moment, Nalym had been worried that the guy had come from some substantial background that led him to not be afraid of any threats, but it seemed like Nalym had been worried for no reason.The Killing Hall's gold difficulty was no joke. It was no different from suicide. Lane might have talked up a storm, but he was actually incredibly afraid inside. That was why he found such a way to kill himself!Crash raised an eyebrow and said to Fane, "Brother, you sure are brave. Ever since the Killing Hall was opened, no one had dared to challenge the gold difficulty. I can't believe you're the first."He was not trying to praise Fane, but purely trying to mock him. Fane was no idiot and had naturally understood that. He looked at Crash coldly but ignored the man after that.Crash's lips stiffened slightly and his expression quickly turned cold. Crash might not be considered a warrior that stood at the peak, but he was still considerably strong. Normal warriors would never dare to sh
After all, what happened seemed incredibly absurd no matter how anyone looked at it. A warrior who had armor on said, "You really do see all sorts of people. What do you think that guy is thinking? I'm so curious. Doesn't he know that what he's doing is basically suicide? Why is he walking right into a mountain with a tiger in it?"Another warrior next to him laughed, "Don't praise him so much! What mountain with a tiger?! If a commoner has a weapon, they can still try to fight the tiger. What about him? Even if you give him hundreds or thousands of weapons, he won't be able to succeed in this challenge!"The armored man nodded and said, "You're right. He's just completely suicidal. It's just that, I can't figure out what's going on in this guy's mind!""Why would you bother? There are many crazy people in the world. You'd be crazy too if you understood what they’re thinking!"The armored man nodded in realization when he heard that. That person was right, he was being too rash.
It was not that he wanted to show off in front of everyone, but that he did not want to wait for any longer than he needed. It would just be a waste of his time. After all, he did not know how strong the other two were. He had already witnessed the earlier challenge.The three challengers had wasted a lot of time calming themselves. Fane did not need to do that at all. His mental state was always at its calmest. Furthermore, he regained his true energy much faster than anyone else.If he participated with the other participants, it would waste a lot of his time. He would need to wait for the two of them to press the button before he could challenge the last room. Hearing Fane's quick decision, the crowd was in an uproar again. Quite a few people looked at Fane in confusion.What was he doing? Could he really be attempting to show off? Crash's lips twitched as he looked at Fane seriously, asking a sincere question."Why did you choose to challenge it yourself? Do you want the two of
Setting aside whether or not he would be able to complete the challenge in the second room, they'd need to talk about how fast they could complete the challengers. The other two might not be in the top ten among above-average warriors, but they were still in the top seventy or eighty. Fane was dressed so ordinarily, and one knew where he crawled out from.If Fane was that strong, everyone would already have recognized him. Yet, he looked like a complete stranger. It could only prove one thing. Either he was an expert at hiding his looks, or he was just completely crazy. Everyone was thinking it was the latter.The competition in the Whirling World was incredibly intense. Even if someone was trying to hide himself, he would not be able to hide for that long. After all, there were so many challenges. To obtain better resources and more spirit crystals, they would need to fight with their ability.In those situations, there was no way anyone would be able to completely control what the
After Nalym laughed for a long time, he finally stopped. His face was full of excitement and mockery, "I wish the bets were already open. I really want to bet on which room this guy will die in!"Nalym's words definitely triggered some discussion in the crowd. Everyone was curious as to which room Fane would die in as well. Could he be killed the moment he entered the seventh room?At that moment, the caretaker's voice was heard again, "The gold difficulty is different from the bronze difficulty. The power level of the three fighters is the same as the ones from the black iron difficulty."The bronze difficulty increased the power of all three fighters. Everyone had thought that the gold difficulty would be more or less the same. All three fighters would just become stronger than the bronze difficulty.Yet, it was completely different from what they expected. The gold difficulty fighters were at the same level of strength as the black iron difficulty, it was just that there was a d
Lourain had a dark look on his face. He was just about to say something when he thought about it and realized that Marth was right. If he did not know anything about Fane, he would definitely be utterly shocked by Fane's actions like most of the other warriors there. He would feel that Fane was just a completely crazy person looking for attention.The caretaker did not delay things for a moment because of the shock and all the discussions there. After everything was done, the betting area was opened up. This time, the betting area's rules had changed because of Fane. They no longer betted on who would be able to kill the golden armored fighter the quickest, but whether or not Fane would win.The odds for both outcomes were one to two, and the odds would change based on the bets. The spectator stands were once again in an uproar. Ninety percent of the warriors there started to charge toward the betting area the moment it opened.Everyone was fighting for the chance to place their bet
After all, they were not betting in small sums. If they lost, then they would be left with nothing. Quite a few warriors had gone completely bankrupt from betting. With all those examples to look at, most warriors would maintain their reason.However, this was a completely different situation. Ninety percent of the warriors were rushing to the betting area. There were even some who had bet their whole fortunes. The odds were rapidly dropping, and they watched as the odds dropped from 1:2 to 1:1.56.In just a few moments, the odds dropped again, going from 1:1.56 to 1:1.43. Looking at the odds frantically dropping, quite a few warriors started to get anxious. If it were not for the laws in place, they would have definitely pushed aside all the warriors in front of them and rushed to the front, betting everything they had."It's dropping so quickly! It was just 1:1.43 before, and now it's 1:1.39. If this continues, it'll be nothing when it's my turn," A man in purple robes anxiously s
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.
