Fane laughed and coolly remarked, "It looks like you'll never admit to anything. Honestly, it's fine even if you refuse to admit it!"After saying that, Fane took out his black iron medal from Mustard Seed. He looked at the medal and said, "Even until the end, all you've been was a complete clown. You tried to criticize me with your standards? Hilarious!"Fane looked right at Arne and said loudly, "That person who you claimed to only like to show off completed the black iron bet. Shouldn't it be your turn now? Didn't you say before this that you'd start a black iron bet?"Or is someone a wuss now? Were you just giving out empty promises? All you know to do is to run your mouth, but you don't have the skills to prove yourself at all!"Fane's words instantly reminded everyone that Arne had promised so much and said that he would start a black iron bet to clear his name.Arne's lips twitched as his earlier demeanor completely deflated. He started to pant roughly, not daring to look F
Fane's memory was impeccable. The bald man had shown off his fortune at that moment, saying that he managed to accumulate that many spirit crystals in all his years, confident that he would double it if he bet it all on the beasts.It was impossible for him to even get back what he put in at that point, let alone double it. In just one turn, he was reduced to a mere beggar, so he was already mentally destroyed.After the bald man heard that, he suddenly looked at Fane with a complicated gaze. His lips twitched as he was filled with regret.He had planned on betting everything on the warrior, but after hearing everyone's discussions as well as what Arne said, he changed his mind. If he had put his whole fortune on Fane, he would have made over five million!Just thinking about that filled his eyes with hatred.He suddenly stood up and walked toward Arne. The bald man's inner rage had completely exploded. He focused all that anger on him.If Arne was not there, he would not have lo
Alas, he could never take back what he said, and the warriors around him would not let him go easily after all that he had done either. He had to explain himself.The bald man's actions only made the warriors around them happier. A lot of people there had pinned the blame for their loss of spirit crystals on Arne's words and threats.When everyone saw that Arne failed to answer, a lot of them stood up like the bald man and hurled insults at Arne, saying he was scum and a complete fake.Their provoking words caused Arne to tremble in anger. He looked at all of them who mocked him in hatred.After being shouted at for a while, Arne could finally not hold back. "Listen well! I'll start the black iron bet right now! I, Arne, am not some coward nor am I a fake!"After saying all of that, he used the outer city token to register in front of everyone. After doing that, the skeleton-masked caretaker once again walked up the stage with the pitch-black scroll.After doing all of that, Arne
The caretaker opened up the black scroll and announced the rules just like before. Most of it was irrelevant, and only the last part was important."The warrior's odds are one to four, and the beast's odds are one to two. The warrior has five minutes to choose the beast he'll face!"Images of five beasts then appeared in the air. Fane raised an eyebrow, not looking at the beasts for the moment. After the odds were recited, the spectators were in an uproar again as noises filled his ears."I thought Arne's odds would be like Fane's, that it would be one to seven! I can't believe it's lowered by almost half. What is Beast City trying to do? Are they thinking that the chances of Arne winning are greater than Fane?""Don't just blindly speak when you don't get it. Do you think the caretakers are as stupid as you? The odds aren't just determined based on the skills of the warriors; it depends on our reactions as well. Hundred Beast City doesn't want one-sided bets. The high odds are to
They could not possibly enter the Whirling World relying solely on their skills. Yet, with those rules in place, the stronger warriors could bring a weaker alchemist with them, traversing the cities of the Whirling World.Right after he figured that out, Arne made his choice on the stage as well. Of the five beasts in the air, he pointed at the one in the middle.Fane was stunned when he looked at it. He had not looked at the five beasts earlier since he was wrapped up in his thoughts. Now that he looked over, Fane was surprised to notice that he only recognized one out of the five beasts, and the one Arne picked happened to be the one he recognized."It's a rockwind snake," he remarked.Fane let out a snort as a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes. At that moment, the masked caretaker announced that the betting area would be opened. Everyone interested in placing bets could head over.Fane silently stood up and brought Rudy to the betting area. Fane and Rudy both took out a milli
Not only did their fellow disciples die, they even lost their spirit crystals. It was a ridiculously unlucky day for them!Fane stood at the entrance of the colosseum, looking at Arne's corpse being taken off the stage from afar. However, he merely raised an eyebrow as he said coolly, "Arne thought that he'd be very safe under the rules of Hundred Beast City. I've said before how ridiculous such thoughts were!"Rudy giddily gave him a thumbs-up. "Fane, you're amazing! You didn't even need to do anything. With just a few words, that guy died a horrible death. It's a relief that he's dead, to be honest!"Arne was relentless in cursing them before, causing them trouble for no reason. They had no grudges against the Deer Pavilion, but just because they had not bet on Lesley, they ended up in conflict.Their tragic state was all their doing.After getting their spirit crystals, Fane brought Rudy away from the outer city.What Fane was surprised at was the fact that the middle city was
"After changing our looks and names, they might not recognize us, but the skills and weapons I use will expose me in the end. In fact, we might just be caught off-guard if we continue to fake our identities. It's better for us to just change ourselves back and face them head-on."All of them are so used to flaunting themselves everywhere, relying on their backgrounds. However, as long as we're strong enough, they'll still fear us. What I want is for them to fear us so that they'd think twice before ambushing us."After Rudy thought about it, he felt like Fane's words were reasonable. Fane had already shown what he could do quite a few times in Thousand Leaves City. As long as they remembered it, Fane would immediately be recognized when he attacked. Looking at this angle, there would be no meaning to them putting on a disguise and changing their names.Rudy sighed as he said in exasperation, "I feel like they're just a group of flies that we can never chase away. They're so annoying
"There are also warriors from White Marsh Continent and Chaos Continent. When I got the middle city entry token, the rules of the middle city had been transferred into my mind."Rudy's jaw hung open in shock as he hurriedly looked at the warriors around him like a curious child, staring at one person after the next.The warriors around them felt Rudy's gaze and were suddenly on alert. They had sharp looks in their eyes.Fane hurriedly pushed Rudy. "Don't gawk at people like that. It's very rude, and you'll end up causing trouble."Rudy nodded obediently, admitting that he did lose control for a moment. He was just too surprised and curious.Fane patted Rudy's shoulder and pulled him to the side. "Why are you so surprised, anyway? It's not like you haven't met warriors from White Marsh Continent and Chaos Continent before."Rudy said excitedly, "You were the one who met them before, not me. It's my first time seeing warriors from a different world. Of course I'm curious!"Fane sm
