He did not think that the old man was definitely right. Even if the old man was something left behind from ancient times, it would not change Fane's thoughts.
The old man had a look of disdain on his face when he heard Fane's response, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You're definitely a lot stronger than those ants outside, but you're nothing in my eyes.
"I know you have an upper ultimate god rank technique, but so what? Your skills are nothing special if you compare yourself to ancient warriors."
Fane was stunned at those words. He had thought that the old man said that because the old man did not know anything about him, but the old man had actually seen through what level Fane's technique was in an instant. Fane was taken aback by that.
Thinking about it, it did make sense. The old man was something left behind from ancient times. No matter what the old man was, he could control Thousand Leaves Tower. Anything that happened within the tower would naturally not escape his gaze.
As long as the old man observed Fane's skills, the old man would be able to make a judgment. Fane frowned and replied, "My skills are nothing compared to ancient warriors?"
Fane was not willing to accept that fact at all. He had already perfected an upper ultimate god rank technique. Even in first grade worlds, he would amount to something, let alone third grade worlds.
However, the old man's tone made Fane feel like he was nothing. The old man seemed to not want to bother dwelling on the problem with Fane. The old man slowly turned away from Fane, "During ancient times, there were countless amazing geniuses, but a calamity happened, and most of those geniuses were lost. I said so not because I wanted to insult you, but it's just that you really are quite ordinary compared to ancient warriors..."
Fane took a deep breath, not countering with anything else. After all, he did not know what ancient times were like, nor did he know about how strong the warriors back then were.
Fane calmed himself down, but Rudy looked like he had swallowed an egg whole. Rudy's mouth was gaping wide, and his eyes looked like they were going to pop out of their sockets.
He could not believe what he had heard. The old man actually said that Fane was using an upper ultimate god rank technique and Fane had silently agreed to it. It caused Rudy to doubt everything he knew.
Rudy had known that Fane was strong, but he did not know that Fane was strong enough to use an upper ultimate god rank technique. If Rudy told anyone that, they would probably think he was crazy.
No one would believe what Rudy was saying. It was an upper ultimate god rank technique, and Fane actually managed to use it at the initial stage of the spring solidifying realm. It was too absurd...
Even more absurd was the fact that the old man did not think that Fane amounted to much despite that. He made the judgment that Fane would not be able to pass the test of the sixth level. Little did Fane know that Rudy's jaw was about to fall off from the surprise.
Only one thought was in Fane's mind which was to know what kind of test awaited him. Fane wanted to know why the old man felt like Fane would not be able to pass. No matter what, Fane had a lot of confidence in himself.
He took a step forward and said, "Could I trouble you to tell me what the test on the sixth level is? Even though I'm nothing to you, I still have some confidence in myself. If I can try it out, I would still want to..."
The old man raised a hand to stop Fane before he could finish, looking at Fane earnestly, "You definitely won't be able to pass. Once the golden key in your hands changes color, then you'll have the right to enter the sixth level, but that's just the right..."
It was a completely barren land. Fane and Rudy had already spent a day and a night walking in that barren land. It was the second day since they left Thousand Leaves City.
When Fane understood that he would not be able to pass the sixth level for the moment, he did not continue dwelling on it. Just like Fane had thought before, the two of them were sent out of Thousand Leaves City immediately.
