As he said that, Gulden's gaze was firmly fixated on Lourain. He looked like he wanted to rip Lourain apart. Lourain's lips curled up as he let out a smile of disdain. "You can say whatever you want. I've heard so many threats before, but all those who've threatened me have perished. You warriors from the Star Continent just love to threaten everyone you see. You make all sorts of threats. By the way, didn't you threaten that Fane you mentioned earlier too? It even happened more than once. What happened in the end? You lost so badly to Fane, and now you're stuck conspiring with others against him. Honestly, I think you should just save the effort. Otherwise, you might even find yourselves all dead in the end. If that happens, no one will help you anymore." Those words felt like a knife digging right into Gulden's heart. Gulden got so angry that his face started to pale. He clenched his fists so tightly that they started to shake. He had never felt that much rage before. He felt lik
Everyone was stunned as they saw Lourain nodding so quickly. Suddenly, the place went completely silent. Quite a few people found themselves dumbfounded. That person was from a third-grade world? He had spoken so arrogantly and acted like he was beyond reproach. They had thought that he came from some impressive background and was some relative of an important person. No one expected him to be from a third-grade world! There might be some strong warriors from third-grade worlds, but they were still a level below compared to second-grade worlds. Gulden suddenly found himself at a loss for words. That guy was actually from a third-grade world. Even a piece of filth from a third-grade world dared to humiliate him and challenge him like that. Gulden's hands trembled, and he spoke up after a long time, "You dog! Aren't you afraid of the consequences of offending me like that? I won't even need anyone's help to deal with you. I can skin you alive whenever I want to!" Lourain raised a
Everyone else had thought that Lourain must have been someone important to be able to act like that. Even though they did not like the Star Continent's ways, most warriors did not dare to provoke the Star Continent. After all, the Star Continent ranked highly among second-grade worlds. They were full of resources and talents and had many warriors that were above average. They had a few warriors at the peak as well. Even those present did not dare to anger warriors from the Star Continent as warriors from second-grade worlds, yet this guy from the Chaos Continent, a third-grade world, actually dared to do it. Those people could not understand the situation at all. At that moment, Gulden started to laugh out loud. However, his laughter was not sincere. Anyone could see the anger he was trying to suppress. That guy before him was not just absurd, but a complete joke. Gulden had thought that the guy acted so arrogantly because he was able to back it up, but it turned out to be complete
Practically everyone turned around at the same time. Looking at the stone wall, they saw a man in green robes standing in front of it. That was his so-called friend? What Lourain said earlier flashed in their minds. After the man took the test, Gulden would be in third place! That was quite a claim. Everyone eagerly looked at the energy vortexes. When they saw the state of the energy vortexes, everyone was frozen in place. They could be heard letting out a hiss, and quite a few of them cursed out. No one could believe what they were seeing! All nine energy vortexes were glowing bright yellow! That meant that all the energy vortexes had been filled up. Everyone was stunned at that moment. Quite a few of them even wondered if they were dreaming! "All the energy vortexes were filled up?! Is this for real? Am I dreaming? Someone actually managed to fill up all of them? Oh my god! I have to be dreaming!" Someone exclaimed. That large-eared man who had been complaining so much earl
The round token was the one that was given to them by the masked caretakers when they entered the Radiant Hall. At that moment, the round token was heating up. Suddenly, the number nine appeared on it. Fane raised an eyebrow. Just as he thought, the points were very useful. When the Radiant Hall closed, those points could be used to exchange for priceless treasures. If they were not useful, then they would not be recorded on the round token. After all, the round token kept track of the identities of each participant. Fane kept the round token and turned around to face the others. At that moment, he was no longer being looked at with interest and curiosity, but complete awe and fear. When Fane turned around, quite a few of the warriors that were looking at Fane looked away, not daring to face him. Someone even started to mumble, "I've finally met a warrior at the peak…" Warriors at the peak were absolute gods in the eyes of regular warriors. Every time they heard about warriors
At that moment, he silently swore that he would definitely become someone like North Woods. He would violently trample all over those who looked down on him before. He would make sure he proved that he was better! Fane could see all of their excitement. He did not bother looking at the other participants but at Gulden instead. His lips curled into a faint smile. He looked completely unfazed as if Gulden had not been talking about him earlier at all. Fane walked at a steady pace and slowly approached Gulden. Gulden's heart was beating wildly as he took a step back subconsciously. Lourain sneered as he looked at how Gulden's temperament had changed completely. He had been so arrogant, but he was swaying in fear at that moment. Fane spoke coldly, "You wanted to make me pay a price?" Gulden gulped as he shook his head violently, "It's not like that! Sir, please don't pay attention to that. I was just speaking nonsense earlier! Your friend said that you were from the Chaos Continent
Fane raised an eyebrow as he sneered and looked away. Since that guy was terrified, there was no point in him pressing on the matter. Furthermore, they were in a restricted area where attacks were prohibited. Since that was the case, Fane decided to ignore Gulden.At that moment, the nine energy vortexes started to glow in a bright yellow, attracting everyone's attention. The twenty-nine participants looked over at the same time only to see the vortexes moving on the stone wall. They even started to make cracking sounds. After a few moments, the nine energy vortexes broke away from the stone wall and began to rotate and fuse mid-air. After a moment, the nine vortexes turned into three faint yellow lights that slowly approached the top three participants.Fane stretched out his hand and grabbed the object wrapped in light. After it fell onto his palm, the light slowly dissipated. A Soul Energy Herb appeared in front of everyone. At the same time, the second and third-place rewards d
When the two of them landed, they were surrounded by darkness again. Only a green stone path underneath them guided them forward. However, as they walked forward, the path came to an abrupt end. A green mist appeared in front of them and stopped their advance.Lourain took a breath, "I feel like this place is so strange everywhere we go. It's completely different from what I thought."Fane raised an eyebrow. He could see what Lourain meant immediately. In truth, Lourain was just complaining that the challenges in the Radiant Hall were still testing talent and skill. Regular warriors were still bottom feeders.Based on how things were going, there did not seem to be any chance to change his destiny, which disappointed Lourain a lot. Fane patted Lourain on the shoulder."Just take it one step at a time. I don't think the information is fake. After all, there really have been people who suddenly became warriors at the peak of the Radiant Hall. Since some succeeded before, there must b
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.
