After all, Fane was far too talented. Even if he was in the inner valley, he would be able to scale up the ranks easily. Losing the tournament would already be a big crime, and if they failed to protect Fane, their punishments would no doubt multiply.
Elder Maurice could not help but shudder at the thought as he turned to look at Mr. Zayne, who was already staring at him. They could see the helplessness in each other's eyes.
At that moment, Claude raised his voice, to which everyone heard him say, "Wait, what? What's he doing? He pulled out his weapon!"
All eyes turned sharply in Fane's direction soon after. At that moment, he had already retrieved his gray sword from Mustard Seed and held it tightly by the hilt.
Those plans that they were all talking about could really have worked, but Fane did not need them. The phoenix was just an early stage spring solidifying realm beast; it was not worth much of his attention and effort.
He held his sword in his right hand as his left hand constantly moved, forming seal after seal. A streak of light in gray formed in the air as Soul Swords were formed, one at a time.
In the blink of an eye, everyone watched as 75 Soul Swords were formed in the air. Everyone knew what Fane was planning.
He was actually planning on facing a spring solidifying realm beast head-on. Was he crazy?!
"I think he's run out of options," blurted Claude. "He's trying to fight a spring solidifying realm beast? He's crazy! An innate stage fighter is trying to fight a spring solidifying realm beast? Does he think he's a genius martial artist?"
Since Fane had deliberately left behind his internal injuries, none of them managed to see how strong he was. However, in their eyes, it was not important at all.
After all, Fane appeared to everyone as an alchemist, and any warrior who decided to embark on the path of an alchemist would never be establishing their roots in martial prowess. Furthermore, his age was a limit, so he would only be at the middle stage of the innate level at most.
