Fane's explanation helped everyone to understand what was happening as well. Lourain was a bit unhappy about it. Letting them off so easily after they gave such a laughable excuse was letting them off too easily. Fane looked at Lourain's expression and laughed before he said, "Of course, I won't let things rest just like that. I've already told them that anyone who dared to touch me will pay a price. Triton's death just means that Triton has paid his price. It has nothing to do with the others." Lourain's eyes brightened at that. He relaxed after he heard what Fane said. Things would not end well for them at all. From what he knew of Fane's personality, Fane was someone who would always hold true to his words. Those people would definitely pay the price. After falling silent for a moment, all of them retreated to their own thoughts. No one knew what anyone else was thinking. After another ten minutes, Hashem broke the silence. "Then, after this…" Fane held his head high as he l
Lourain turned around and looked at Hashem, "How many does that make it?"Hashem was very good with numbers, and he had been memorizing the numbers for the past few days. On top of the purple gold Fane had just put into Mustard Seed, "It's forty-six now!"When he said that number, his heart stopped for a moment. Forty-six pieces of purple gold were equal to 460 million spirit crystals. That number was an astronomical one to warriors of their level. Just thinking about it made their bodies shake.Kellen almost drooled, standing behind Hashem. His voice shook slightly, "Forty-six pieces! I don't know if I'd be able to make that much my whole life!"Dickens looked at Kellen and sighed, "Getting forty-six pieces of purple gold in one go is practically impossible. However, it's very possible if you start saving up until you're old."The three of them exchanged a look of helplessness with each other. It really was frustrating comparing themselves to others. Compared to Fane, they were b
Lourain scoffed before he said in disdain, "They clearly had a chance to do that before this, but they ended up killing each other because of a small trick. So many people have been lost by now, and they don't even trust each other. What's the point of anyone asking them to work together at this point?"Fighting back at this point was like struggling after being in a chokehold. It was pointless.Fane nodded before he said calmly, “There's only a few hours left until the Toman Battlefield closes. Within that time, it's not like they can make any waves if they want to fight back. The enemy has already calculated everything, and they made the best arrangements."They made sure to restrict the timing to exchange spirit crystals to the last day. They gave enough time for everyone else to kill each other, and there's not enough time remaining to cause any trouble. The louder the cry right now, the more laughable it is. Desmond and the others won't care at all."Lourain and the others nod
The closing of the Toman Battlefield meant that he would be leaving his fellow disciples. However, Lourain did not regret it at all. After all, being able to follow and work for a warrior as strong as Fane was quite rewarding. He managed to get some scraps here and there.Lourain had managed to earn over ten million spirit crystals just by taking part in the betting before. That amount of spirit crystals was something he would never have dreamed of before, but he actually managed to get it. At that moment, he felt like Fane was the best chance he could hope for, and that he needed to hold onto Fane tightly.The space around them started to distort again, and the distortion covered the whole Toman Battlefield. All of the warriors that were still alive were enveloped within. After ten minutes, Fane and Lourain arrived at Violet City alone. Below them was the large array that sent them away.Fane turned around to look at the other participants there. He still remembered how crowded it
"I said it! How could those people possibly want to give us anything? They only opened the Toman Battlefield to get Heartblood from us! Not only are they cruel and vicious, but they're also shameless and despicable as well. In the end, they decided to kill us all! Everyone just helped them out for no reason!""We can't let this continue. If we continue to just tolerate it, then they'll just take advantage of us. They've never even seen us as humans. In their eyes, we're just livestock that they can kill at any time!""We need to make them pay the price! We need to teach them that we're not to be trifled with! So what if they're warriors at the peak? We have strength in numbers! If all of us work together, even those warriors at the peak will die to our blades!"Suddenly, there was shouting all over the plaza. Quite a few people were trying to rally everyone to work together. There were many that were being pulled into it as well. Of course, Fane and Lourain were not included among t
A burly man with a short-sleeved shirt that exposed both his arms said with a worried look on his face, "Forget it! No one can guarantee there won't be any problems this time. I don't want to end up getting dragged into it!"A skinny man next to him shook his head and said, "You can't just say that. Didn't those people work so hard all for the sake of opening the Radiant Hall? There are definitely a lot of amazing things inside. This time, it's different from the Toman Battlefield."We didn't know much about the Toman Battlefield, but everyone knows about the Radiant Hall. Those people can't possibly pull any tricks in the Radiant Hall. On top of that, we're all already on the defensive, we won't be used by those people anymore. If they try to continue causing trouble, they'll definitely pay the price!"The skinny man seemed incredibly sure of himself as he spoke. His eyes were filled with anger and hatred. Even though he did not sign up to join the Toman Battlefield, two of his fel
Only by becoming strong would they be able to live even more freely. They would not need to worry about others before they did anything. The world had always been one where the strong ruled over the weak. Those who were willing to be ordinary were those who ended up being stuck at the bottom. As the burly man's lips stiffened, he found himself unable to say anything. That reason was more than enough, and it explained everything.Lourain lamented the fact in his heart when he heard that. He put down the tea in his hand and looked up at Fane, "There are many who aren't willing to be ordinary, but there are even more people who see the limits of their strengths after working so hard. They know what they can, or can not do. These people are the ones that will live long and go further. Those who only rush forward will all die in the end."Fane nodded as he measured Lourain with a smile. He remembered how arrogant Lourain had been the first time he met the guy. Lourain finally had some rea
He knew that he was not that lucky of a person, but if things ended up going his way somehow, then he would be able to soar. He would not need to rely on anyone else. When he returned to his clan after leaving the Whirling World, he would be able to become one of the strongest chosen disciples, and everyone would admire him!However, the information just now completely ruined his dreams. The rules were testing a person's talent and skill. What difference was it from the other challenges? He suddenly felt incredibly angry, and Fane turned to look at Lourain."We're only just starting. That information is just the first challenge we're going to face. There are still other challenges waiting for you. Since everyone says there's a chance for you to change your destiny, then there will be. Complaining right now won't change your luck."Lourain nodded a bit reluctantly, but he did not continue complaining. Before entering the radiant Hall, Fane took out a blank token. That blank token was
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.
