Slowly, Rudy noticed that he was becoming more and more like Fane. He slowly understood why Fane was always so calm, and why none could get to his head.Fwoop! Fwoop! Fwoop!Countless rainbow-colored feathers viciously slammed onto the surface of the stage. Fane barely managed to avoid them all.He looked up at the Thousand Feathered Beast in the sky, noticing its sharp eyes still looking right at him. Even though it showed no emotions, the intense killing intent coming from it washed over Fane like a wave."Is he only good at evading? It's been a while, but he's been dodging! Why isn't he fighting back?! Has he given up on even fighting back because he knows he'll lose?""Who knows what this kid is thinking. Does he think that the Thousand Feathered Beast will exhaust all its energy if he keeps on hiding like that? If that guy really thinks that way, what a joke this will turn out to be."The Thousand Feathered Beast isn't an actual beast at all. Its energy is inexhaustible than
It was a barrier specifically made to cut off the stage and the outside world, protecting the spectator stands from being affected. When the slash hit the barrier, it caused small ripples before being absorbed.Fane let out a sigh as he frowned helplessly. The Thousand Feathered Beast did not just attack incredibly quickly, but the speed at which it moves was not to be underestimated, too.Earlier, the Thousand Feathered Beast had the chance to move away before he attacked, but it waited until Destroying the Void was coming at it before it fled. Was it trying to show off its speed?The beast was made of energy, incapable of thinking for itself!Those thoughts floated in Fane's mind before he discarded them. It was not the time to think of any of that. When the spectators saw what happened, they could not stop talking.Even Arne lamented, "How quick! Lucius truly is unlucky, 'cause that bird is nimble. Attacks can't reach it with how fast it moves!"Even if Lucius has a way to run
"There has to be something wrong with this guy! Doesn't he know what expanding the range of an attack does? Every technique has its limitations. Unless they were large area attacks to begin with, expanding the area of an attack would mean decreasing the strength of a technique!""That's right. If the strength of the attack had been a ten, the attack was probably only left with a five after what he did. He's a wandering warrior, so how strong can the technique be?"If the attack had been at its peak, it might've been able to injure the bird. After he expanded the attack, the attack was only left with a strength of five! Even if it damaged the bird, the bird would only lose a few feathers at most!"Arne started to cackle. This time, he did not deliberately laugh in an exaggerated manner but was really laughing at Fane's idiocy.Everyone could tell that the technique Fane used was not supposed to be a large area attack. He would just be reducing the damage it would deal by expanding i
"You know nothing about Lucius, so how are you so sure he'll lose? Do you think everyone will end up getting burnt to a crisp like Lesley?!"After Rudy said that, he looked at Arne coldly, causing Arne to turn purple in the face. "What did you say?!"Rudy smiled coldly. "I'm speaking human words. Do you not understand them? Can you shut that annoying mouth of yours? You might feel that it's fine after you speak, but please be considerate of how others feel. I feel like puking the moment you open your mouth, do you know that? The things you say are far too stupid!"The moment Rudy started talking, he could not stop himself. He recalled everything that Arne had said and got even furious. If he could, he wanted to kill Arne with his words.Arne stood up from his seat angrily as the tension between the two of them rose instantly. The tension was so thick it could be cut with a knife, and a fight was bound to happen if nothing was done.The disciples of the Deer Pavilion hurriedly pull
However, Fane did not care. He even activated the laws of space around his blade, causing the original attack to only need to travel half the distance.The Thousand Feathered Beast let out a cry and shot up into the air like before. This time, it was unfortunately not as quick to dodge as a fraction of the nine-meter slash pierced through its lower body!The Thousand Feathered Beast's whole body stiffened as its wings constantly shook. It could not stop crying out in the air.Someone shouted among the spectators, "It hit! The slash hit the lower body of that bird!""Something's wrong! Look! Why aren't there any wounds on the bird's body at all? It clearly hit the beast, so why isn't there any blood at all?""That's true! I feel like that bird just shouted out a few times! It's still flying upwards…so it's not affected at all!"The Thousand Feathered Beast indeed flapped its wings to stay afloat. Fane's Destroying the Void did pierce the Thousand Feathered Beast's lower body. Othe
"That's right, there is no limit to the black iron bet. There's no guarantee you can even see one in a whole month. Many people would get instigated by the black iron bet and throw away their whole life savings, trying to earn a big sum."One to seven odds is far too alluring. If Arne wasn't making such a big fuss earlier, quite a few people might have bitten the bait and put a lot of spirit crystals on Lucius. Then, they'd really be suffering great losses!""That's right, I almost put all my life savings on Lucius. After I heard what all of you said, I was lucky enough to realize my mistakes. I placed my bet on the beast. Even if the odds are only one to two, it would still double my spirit crystals! It's still a good thing…"Just as everyone was busy discussing, the Thousand Feathered Beast suddenly fell from the air. With a bang, the beast's massive body heavily slammed onto the stage, causing dust to fly everywhere!As it flew in the air, the beast still had the strength to con
Some managed to guess, but most of them were still trapped in confusion. All of them frowned, anxious to know the answer. The passionate discussions did not stop things from going on as they should. After being sure that the beast was dead, the masked caretaker walked up the stage steadily.He raised his hand and waved, "Challenger, please exit the stage. The stage needs to undergo maintenance. The second match will commence in five minutes."Fane nodded as he turned around and left the stage. He looked around at the passionate crowd. At that moment, even the calmest warriors were deep in discussions.Fane had planned to return to the spectator stands since Rudy was still there. Yet, when he saw how thirsty everyone was for more information, Fane immediately changed his mind. He did not want to bother talking to them at all. They could assume whatever they wanted to.After all, only one match had ended. After three battles were all done would those people stop insulting him. Fane k
Many geniuses had failed in front of soul attribute techniques. They never expected that Lucius was a soul attribute warrior. It seemed like he definitely had some talent.Initially, everyone was incredibly curious about Fane. When Fane started the black iron bet, they felt like Fane was just crazy and attention-seeking. They were then convinced by Arne's words that Fane was just someone greedy for pride and attention.Everyone started to change their opinion toward Fane. They felt like Fane had started the black iron bet because he actually was talented and skilled!Those who had wanted to take a gamble and bet their spirit crystals on Fane slowly started to have a change of heart."I think that Lucius might actually be able to win…""I think that things don't always happen how you expect them to. Everyone might have bet on the wrong side…"At those discussions, the spectator stands erupted again. That was because almost everyone there had placed their bets on the beasts. It was
