He could not stand it anymore in the end. He turned and said to Fane, "These odds are nothing, so don't be so pleased with yourself! Everyone makes mistakes. The results will prove everything!"Fane snorted, closing his eyes as he ignored Ethan which made Ethan even angrier.He started at Fane and said, "You can keep on acting like this. The more you act like this, the happier I am. That's because you're about to kneel and beg me for mercy soon! However, I'm warning you. I won't let you off easy."Even if you kneel and plead for your life in front of me, I'll still torture you! I won't kill you so easily. I'll slowly torture you. There's no time limit to the death match after all."I have plenty of time to slowly torture you! I'll let you feel the greatest pain, and have you hoping for death. You'll just see yourself slowly dying away!"Ethan felt more and more excited when he said all that to Fane. His smile almost split his mouth in half. Fane turned to look at Ethan, who was sm
Yet, some things could not be said. After all, Rudy was still beside them. He could not put himself down! Probably because they could see through Trevor's worries, one of the disciples from the Pentagram Clan whispered, "Trevor, don't worry. The caretakers aren't gods. There's no way they can tell which one of them is stronger just from a look. They're just relying on their intuition. If the caretaker actually understood the two of them, the odds would not be like that. The odds might even be the exact opposite!"Trevor nodded slightly, "You're right. It's not like the caretakers can judge everything accurately. It's probably because of Ethan's bad temper. The caretakers probably feel like a bad attitude means having horrible skills. That's why the odds are so high!"The disciple behind him nodded vigorously, "Fane's just an alchemist. Didn't Ethan say so before? Fane has no background."An alchemist like him is lucky enough to be good at alchemy. He definitely put most of his time
After saying that, the disciple pulled out half a million spirit crystals from his storage ring with a huff, betting it on Ethan!After doing that, he coldly looked at Rudy, "Do you see it now? Don't try to be petty with us! I despise ignorant country bumpkins like you guys!"Rudy sneered, already used to hearing words like that. Had it been in the past, he would have shouted something back, but at that moment, Rudy could not be bothered.He turned to look at the two people who were standing on the stage. He tried to estimate the time it would take for the battle to end. With Fane's personality, the fight would have a result soon.Time ticked away, and the spectators were finally reaching their conclusions. Even though they were still discussing, most of them already knew who they were betting on. There was just some uncertainty left.After all, the odds were so high at that time. If Ethan won, those that have bet on Ethan would be able to quadruple their spirit crystals. So, most
Ethan's face reddened in anger, finding himself at a loss for words. What Fane said had been the truth. What happened during the tournament felt like it had only happened a day ago. No matter what he said, the truth was more convincing.All Ethan could do was wallow in his rage. After all, he had no way to shoot back at Fane. He felt like even his heart was beginning to hurt as the lust to kill Fane rose in his mind.He gritted his teeth and stared at Fane. He only had one thought in mind at that moment, which was that he wanted the match to start as soon as possible. He was in a hurry to kill Fane.An hour was not too long. When there were only 10 minutes left, the spectators all stood up and headed to the betting area.Of the warriors that were betting, almost three-quarters of them placed their bets on Ethan. A quarter of the warriors betted on Fane.Rudy merely stood quietly by the side and observed. When the last person placed a 500000 bet on Ethan, the match was finally star
When did he ever wonder what technique Ethan was using? For one, Ethan was just revealing his secrets, and Ethan insisted on dragging him in as well. Fane was beyond baffled, truth be told.The warriors in the spectator stands all erupted in conversation when they heard what Ethan said. Quite a few of them started to regret betting on Fane."Ethan is using the Pentagram Sword Style! That technique was created by an old hero from the Pentagram Clan. I heard it's quite difficult, even if the rank isn't that high for us."However, Ethan is an alchemist. The fact that he's able to use the Pentagram Sword Style means that he's quite talented! Most alchemists are only able to use elementary red-rank techniques! It looks like Fane will lose this time for sure!"Since no one knew where Fane was from, most of them had lumped him as a wandering warrior. On top of that, he was an alchemist, so he had left an impression in everyone's hearts.Before Ethan said that he was using a lower Earth-r
Thankfully, Fane avoided it quickly, and no blood got on his body."Argh!" Ethan cried out in agony like a captured wild boar, frantically rolling around as though he had gone crazy. The sight caused the rowdy crowd to fall silent instantly.Everyone widened their eyes, looking at the writhing, crying Ethan, not knowing what to say at that moment. Just from Ethan's cries, they could tell how much pain he was in.Ethan must be feeling the pain down to his bone. Otherwise, a warrior would not have forgotten about their dignity and rolled on the floor like that, crying out in agony!After a long time, someone finally said, "Aren't these two supposed to be far different in terms of strength? Weren't they both supposed to be alchemists? Why is Fane so strong that Ethan couldn't even block a single strike?"Earlier, it was obvious that Fane and Ethan were on completely different levels the moment Fane attacked. No wonder Fane was so indifferent from start to finish, not even reacting; h
Even if Ethan was still alive at that moment, he was dangerously close to death's door. Trevor was so anxious his entire body was shaking, already predicting what would happen.Fane looked up upon hearing Trevor's voice and saw him standing beneath the stage with his pale, panic-stricken face. Trevor was staring right at Fane with a complicated expression. While he tried to come off as forceful, the pleading glint in his eyes was just as evident as though he was begging for Ethan's release.The sight of Trevor merely amused Fane, however. He could not be bothered with him, and nothing he shouted would affect the results of the match.He slowly turned to look at Ethan, who was still rolling on the floor.At that moment, Ethan's clothes were completely disheveled. His entire body was covered in dirt, and he looked to be in an incredibly bad state. Despite his appearance, Ethan could barely care—the pain made him forget everything else as he wailed in agony.The stage suddenly turned
"You'll always be pursued. Even if you're lucky enough to avoid it once, you'll never be at peace to the point you'll never be able to show yourself in public! It's a terrible fate. You have to think it through!"Hearing that, Fane was incredibly amused and looked at Trevor indifferently. "Don't you think you're being hilarious? If I hadn't prepared myself, how would I have started a death match with him? Do you think I started one so I'd die myself?"Since I knew that he'd die, it's natural that I understood what'll happen if he did. So what if I offend the Pentagram Clan? If you want to kill me, you've got to have skills."After saying that, Fane ignored what Trevor was saying beneath the stage. Fane acted like he did not hear anything, and the spectators erupted in discussions.Most of the warriors had betted on Ethan, and as the results were the complete opposite of what they expected, half a million had gone down the drain. Various complaints could be heard everywhere.A lot
