Carville did not know Fane. He had just gotten too excited and did not like the way Fane was acting. That was how he ended up targeting Fane and how this challenge happened.Under those circumstances, the chances of Fane being an expert were very low. If that person really was an expert, then it would be like a blind cat finding a dead mouse. However, Carville did not think he was that unlucky.Even though Carville could not figure out how strong his opponent was, he felt that there was no way his opponent was a match for him!With everything already in place, Fane could not be bothered to waste time talking, "Hurry up and attack! What's the point of wasting your time right now?!"Carville's expression darkened even more at that moment. Even in the arena, the guy was still provoking him!Carville clenched his teeth, and the anger in his heart burned even brighter. He silently swore to have that guy begging him for mercy! With that thought in mind, he immediately started to form se
"Not bad! This person's skill is pretty decent. He's probably around Anders' level in skill. No wonder he spoke so confidently. It looks like we were wrong. This guy is already an above-average warrior. He should be highly ranked at that! Otherwise, there's no way he could have taken on that cyclone.""This person's name is North Woods. The name feels a bit foreign. It's the first time I've heard of it. Have any of you heard of it before?"Everyone started to try and figure out where Fane came from. North Woods was just a random name Fane invented. Even if someone had heard of the name before, it had nothing to do with Fane. After asking around everywhere, no one recognized a person called North Woods. It was as if he had appeared out of nowhere."Who do you think will win?" A tall and muscular man asked with his arms crossed.The man next to him said, "If North hasn't held back at all, then the final winner will be Carville. I hate him, but I have to admit that he's quite strong.
"It looks like Carville didn't go all out in the battle before!" Carville was only just using his full might. There were so many petals that the spectators' view was blocked.Quite a few people were sweating for Fane's sake. A man with a goatee said, "Things look grim for North. If the attack was only coming from one direction, he'd still have a way out! Before the explosion, he would just need to escape. However, there's no way he can do it now. With so many petals completely surrounding him, he doesn't even have a way to escape the explosion. It looks like he'll definitely be injured!""I thought that North would have the initiative since he saw the earlier battle. He could try and avoid the explosion the moment he felt something wrong! I never expected…" A warrior from a third-grade world said with a frown.After he said that, someone laughed coldly and said, "Do you all think that Carville's an idiot? Do you think he doesn't know his technique's already been revealed after tha
In truth, Carville had wanted to follow up with his attack and strike Fane while Fane was injured! Yet, before he could do anything, the chain flew out from around that guy like a dragon!"Brat! Don't think you can scare me just by putting up a bit of a show!" Carville said coldly. A gentle breeze blew past, and the mist around Fane was dispersed. Fane's figure appeared in front of Carville yet again.At that moment, Fane looked the exact same as before. There was not much of an expression on his face, and his body was completely straightened. Carville took a closer look, and not even Fane's clothes had any signs of wear. Even after he had gone all out, that guy was not injured at all.Carville's expression suddenly changed. That guy was much stronger than he thought. The guy's defenses were several times better than he expected! Carville narrowed his eyes as he started to get serious again. Fane's lips curled up into a faint smile.That smile seemed especially glaring to Carville'
He heard a constant rattling of chains around him, and thanks to that sound, he could not hear anything from outside at all. Likewise, those on the outside could not hear what was happening inside. Even if he shouted with all his might, no one could tell if he was the one shouting or his opponent. Only then did Carville realize that everything Fane was doing, including using the chains to surround them, was to obstruct the crowd’s sight. The rattling of the chains was meant to cut off any sounds as well.At that moment, even if all his limbs were cut off or he was tortured until the brink of death, no one would know about it. Fane did not want anyone in the spectator stands to see what was happening.Earlier, Fane had made sure the fight seemed evenly matched. It was a deliberate act to prevent others from realizing how skilled he actually was! After he realized that, Carville sighed before he said miserably, "What a joke. I thought I wouldn't be so unlucky, and that I couldn't p
Hence, there was plenty of room to maneuver around when it came to torturing someone. As long as there were no permanent injuries, then Fane could deal with him however Fane wanted to. The arena was not a restricted area, so as long as Fane controlled his strength, Fane would be able to do just about anything. Just like Fane said, there were many ways to torture Carville.With that in mind, Carville shut his eyes in complete despair. He felt fear deep in his heart and was about to drown in anguish. That person who looked so calm no matter what happened seemed capable of anything.After how much Carville had offended the man, there was no way Carville would get off easily. Right at that moment, Fane suddenly laughed and said, "I'll give you two choices. It's up to you which one you'll choose. Of course, you can go back on your word after you've agreed, but you'd better think about it before you do. There's a price to pay for going back on your words."The crowd below was trying hard
If the soul was too heavily injured to the point where it was irreparable, then Fane would have violated the rules and been punished. However, he would not be punished for ripping the soul little by little. Even if one's soul was injured, it could be healed as long as the injury was not too bad with good-quality pills.Even if the soul being devoured on a small scale like that would not cause permanent damage, the pain was the same as if it was being ripped apart. He felt like his soul was getting bitten by thousands of ants!That pain caused his whole body to tremble. Thankfully, that guy, North, was a warrior at the peak, and his control of his technique seemed incredibly strong. He controlled that strange power to slowly devour Carville's soul, causing Carville to almost go crazy from the pain, but never going over that limit!The pain had not completely overtaken his mind. Even though his whole body was trembling and he was breathing roughly, he was still able to think and make
Carville took a deep breath before he said, "I surrender! You won!" After he said that, he clutched his step and slowly walked down the stage with great difficulty. The other participants started to get excited when they saw how Carville seemed to have been humbled. After Carville won the last battle, he acted so excited as he frantically humiliated and insulted all of them. Every word that came out of his mouth was so nasty. Yet, he had gotten a bucket of cold water poured all over him as he walked down the arena with a miserable expression.They finally had the chance to raise their voices and all of them started to shout, "Carville! I guess you finally know your place! Winning and losing is something that happens regularly! You're skilled, but there are so many more out there that are stronger than you. You're just like a dog that's just good at frantically barking!""Go ahead and show off now! You can continue showing off if you want to! Why did you stop? I guess you can't an
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.
