Fane was spared from the trouble of settling the fees for their stay thanks to Rudy's proactive self. Thus, he nodded and continued to absorb the soul gem.

Meanwhile, Rudy leisurely drank his tea as he thought of everything he had experienced during this time. Even though he experienced a lot, his actual skills had not increased by that much.

He specialized in alchemy, but even that was nothing special. He had learned quite a lot from Fane, but his talents were ordinary. There was a gulf between him and Fane, and though he improved, it was not by much at all, which made him doubt himself.

After five days, Fane finally opened his eyes again. He had absorbed all the treasures and had even absorbed some valuable pills, but he only had one-fifth of a Divine Soul.

Fane shook his head regretfully, but there was nothing he could do. He fretfully realized that the slower his absorption was, the more treasures it meant he would need in the future.

Thinking about that, Fane sighed helplessly. True, he had much wealth on him at the moment, and he genuinely believed that even though he was far from his goal, he had thought that things were looking up. Alas, it seemed like that was all just a pipe dream.

After all, he needed to improve his strength and to do that, he would need a lot of treasures to support him. He could get them through competitions, but those did not yield that much.

If Fane wanted to form a Divine Soul, he would need a lot of treasures. The remainder of those would require Fane to spend large amounts of spirit crystals to purchase. Just thinking about it caused Fane to hurt physically, lamenting that he might need to spend all of his spirit crystals to get treasures soon.

Fane sighed. "Sure enough, spirit crystals are never enough for warriors..."

Rudy raised an eyebrow when he

heard that, wanting to ask Fane something, but Fane had already gotten off the couch. "If we're lacking spirit crystals, then I'll have to make more. Thankfully, there's somewhere that we can make spirit crystals nearby. I might even be able to get some good things there." Content is property of .

Rudy raised an eyebrow as he looked at Fane's back curiously.

Fane explained things to Rudy as he walked forward. "Do you still remember the argument we heard when we were going upstairs three days ago? That guy mentioned an attribute gamble."

Rudy suddenly recalled it when Fane mentioned it. "What's an attribute gamble? The name sounds so weird."

Fane laughed and said, "It's actually not that strange; the name's very straightforward. An attribute gamble just means you're gambling on everyone's attributes.

"For instance, I'm a soul attribute warrior. When it comes to the soul attribute, control over it is many times stronger than other attributes. I'd be a soul attribute warrior. The attribute gamble is a competition over the control of various

n

attributes."

Rudy's lips twitched at this. Even though Fane had patiently explained it, he felt like he was still in the dark.

Fane turned to look at Rudy and could immediately see that Rudy did not understand. He let out a laugh, not thinking anything of Rudy's comprehension abilities.

The moment they entered the inner city, all the rules had flooded into his mind. Rudy had been following Fane in, so he had not gotten all that knowledge.
