The pot was really calling the kettle black in that situation. He really needed to look at himself in the mirror! Hearing everyone's laughter, Nalym's face completely reddened. Marth did not need to explain anything for him to understand it.Nalym was incredibly furious at that moment. He felt like he was about to explode any second. At that moment, he finally realized that Lane was not the only one with a sharp mouth. Even Lane's followers were not easy to deal with. He would just get laughed at even more if he continued, so Nalym shut his mouth.Lionel looked at Lourain coldly, "The two of you better know what's good for you. Otherwise, don't blame me for not telling you anything."It was obvious what Lionel was saying with those words, but Lourain had already figured things out. He merely looked at Lionel coldly, not bothering to continue talking.Lionel clenched his teeth, already completely hating those two. They had shut him down in front of so many people. They would pay a p
Some of those warriors that stood at the peak had never even seen storm god rank techniques before! Fane took a deep breath and looked around. At that moment, he was still a bit apprehensive.After all, he had used the Soul Burst Ring. The spectators were full of people as well. If everyone looked at him and he used Soul Burst Ring, he might end up being exposed.Fane frowned, he still did not want to be completely exposed just yet. It was not just because the warriors from Star Continent already hated him to the core. That was not the most important thing. It was more because the skills he had shown to that point had already garnered the attention of the warriors that stood at the peak.No one knew if they planned on going against him at all. After all, if anyone just looked into it seriously, his background would quickly be found. Warriors of Hestia Continent were absolutely one of the lowest existences. At that moment, most of the warriors from Hestia Continent were stuck in leve
Most of them were incredibly anxious at that moment. The last room was the greatest challenge. It was also the most entertaining part. Everyone was incredibly excited, but no one knew that the black mist would suddenly block off everything. No one could see anything! There was no way they would not be anxious!Quite a few people clenched their teeth anxiously. They wanted to start cursing!"It's the most important part! This is so frustrating! Can someone figure out a way to get rid of this stupid black mist? Can the caretakers help?"Quite a few people even stood up from their seats anxiously. The caretakers did not move the whole time. Even if they heard everyone shouting, their expressions remained unchanged. They were completely emotionless, which left everyone else with nothing to do.It was not like they could go check on the array themselves. They were forced to wait outside. It was the most important and entertaining battle, but it was completely shrouded from their sights.
After a few moments, the space around him stopped distorting. He had returned to his original spot. He had thought that his ears would be assaulted by noise, but it was quiet all around him. He could even vaguely hear some heavy breathing.He looked up at the spectators strangely, only to see them all having constipated looks on their faces. Frustration was incredibly evident. He turned to look at the other two challengers, and the two of them looked just as frustrated.Fane's lips stiffened and a curious glint was in his eyes. However, he quickly realized what happened. Earlier, he had used his soul energy to shroud himself from sight. As the audience, the most exciting part had been completely taken away. They were naturally frustrated.However, there was no way he would act any differently. After all, his earlier methods had definitely been unusual. Right at that moment, a golden light appeared in the air that slowly descended into Fane's stretched-out hand.After a moment, the
Lane had won the challenge. They had not just been watching for fun. Most of the warriors there had taken part in the betting, and some of them had even bet their whole fortunes, thinking that they would be able to make a large profit. Yet, it ended up being the complete opposite. They had lost their whole fortunes!It seemed like those thirty-odd pieces of purple gold definitely did not belong to those two followers. Instead, Lane had probably instructed them to bet on him! It was one to two odds. Lane had not only managed to get fifty pieces of purple gold as a reward but thirty from the betting!That meant that he had won eighty pieces of purple gold in one go, which was equal to nine hundred million spirit crystals. That was just absurd! Everyone gulped at that moment. Various emotions played in the eyes of the spectators.They were envious, jealous, and even angry and frustrated. Some of them cursed themselves for not recognizing how strong Fane was. If they had bet on Lane, th
With only a few words, Fane rendered everything he did invalid while he trampled on his pride.At that moment, Lionel felt like a useless dog. He could even hear how everyone tried to hold back their laughter, but it was evident they were mocking him. They mocked him for not knowing his place as well as for Fane's nonchalance about him.That humiliation felt like a flame that burned through all his organs. Lionel's face was completely red, and his hands trembled.He took a deep breath as he tried to stop his trembling. He could not let anyone else see his anger, knowing that their laughter would only intensify if they saw how irritated and emotional he was on the matter.He did not want to seem pathetic.At that moment, Lionel hated Fane to the bone. All these people jeered at him, and it was all Fane's fault.To everyone else, however, Lionel only had himself to blame.It was not like Fane had to accept him as a follower; it was all up to the man himself. Even though Lionel was
The three of them walked into an inn that was buzzing with conversation as everyone chatted with great interest. The inn was about the size of half an arena. There were about 80 to 90 tables there, and 90% of the tables were full.Lourain's eye was sharp, and he immediately spotted a table in a corner. He quickly told Fane and Marth before he rushed over to take a seat. After the three of them sat down, Marth took out some spiritual tea he managed to obtain a few years ago and started to make some tea.Even though his distaste for Lourain remained, the three of them were on the same boat at this point. If he continued to argue with Lourain without stopping like before, it would only serve to annoy Fane.When Fane was challenging the Killing Hall, the two of them agreed to a momentary truce.Marth poured the tea into a cup and respectfully handed it to Fane. Fane tasted the tea, and a sweet fragrance entered his body. After he drank it, the faint spiritual energy within the tea was
In another manner of speaking, people like Lionel were just slightly more useful expendables. In the eyes of the truly strong, people like that could be sacrificed at any moment. Working with any other warrior who stood at the peak would just be putting himself in danger.Marth scoffed and said, "He's one of those who think they're smart. He was figuring out so much about you in front of so many people and even exposed us, yet he never even thought that you might not want to expose your identity. That goes for the two of us too."He made his assumptions, thinking that he'd be able to show his worth if he did, but all he did was frustrate us. He might be smart, but he thinks too much of himself. He'll end up causing his death one way or another."Fane nodded. Marth was right; Lionel was too haughty. He was probably smarter than the average person, which earned him a lot of praise yet caused him to grow pompous and incredibly selfish. He was not someone that would go far.Even if Fan
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.
