"Wesley is such an arrogant person, and he never pays attention to others. Even if we did this favor for him, he might not remember us. We'll probably offend Fane in the process, though, which isn't worth it." Noel decided to keep his mouth shut after he thought about it. Although this would be huge news if people learned about this, it meant nothing to the others who did not benefit from this, and Noel was not willing to take this risk. Zayn kept quiet, but his gaze darted around as he entertained the idea.
Noticing Zayn’s silence, Noel turned to look at him, only to see from Zayn’s expression that he knew he was up to no good.
Noel instantly grew angry for his stupidity, snapping, "What are you thinking about? I
know you want to get acquainted with Wesley, seeing how well-known he is as compared to you, and you might have a great future if you manage to get into his good books. However, you need to understand that Wesley isn't someone you can fawn over just because you wish to do so. Apart from that, he's not the brightest bulb out there. He’s all pompous and haughty because he has somebody to rely on. Even if you tell him about this, he'll repay you with some benefits, but nothing exciting. On the contrary, you might offend Fane because of this.”
Zayn frowned as he felt that what Noel said made sense. However, this did not dismiss Zayn’s desire to climb the social ladder.
Noel exhaled deeply. He would not have spent the time to say such things if this was somebody else, but this was Zayn, his relative. If news of this spread, Fane would suspect that he was the one who did it. He did not want to offend Fane because of this.
He turned around and said righteously, "If you tell anybody about this, I’ll be the first one to teach you a lesson. Have you forgotten how Wesley treats runner disciples like you? Do you think that he'll look at you differently just because you informed him about this? If I was you, I'd pray for less trouble. Even if you plan to be somebody's follower, you need to see who that person is.”
These words reminded Zayn about how hard it was to get along with Wesley. He also recalled how Wesley used to order around runner disciples like him. In fact, he would also hit them as it was not a big deal to the pavilion if informal disciples hit runner disciples, so long as the person was not badly wounded. Recalling these, Zayn shook his head and decided that it was best to keep this news hidden.
In the Array Eye Door, Fane could feel his soul motion under the stimulation of the soul-shockwaves. The second soul sword that he struggled with, one that he could not form before, was slowly taking form.
After a day and a half, Fane finally managed to form the second soul sword. He had great improvements on his training of Destroying the Void. Raising his hand, two streaks of black light slowly appeared in Fane's hands, though one of them was still lighter in color.
This was the second soul sword that Fane had just succeeded in forming. He continuously drew runes with his fingers, and these two soul swords moved continuously by following the runes.
The swords were not moving speedily, but his control was much stronger compared to when he first mastered the soul sword. If Fane was asked to fight Warren with a single soul sword at this point, Fane might not miss his target again.
Fane exhaled deeply. These two soul swords existed independently, and if Fane was able to merge them together, the power would be several times stronger. Unfortunately, Fane could not achieve that just yet.
Fane raised his head and took a look at the pitch-black surrounding when he thought of this. The area still had a stickiness to it, and this seemed to be an independent space. Soul-shockwaves filled the entire area.
Fane did not feel much under the soulshockwaves. After all, the success in forming the second soul sword meant that Fane had improved greatly. His control over his soul and the stability of his soul had also become much stronger.
