Chapter 45: Application

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations  Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

Jack kept scratching his head as if he had to make an extremely tough choice.

Anthony had finished filling up the application long ago, but his thighs kept shaking non-stop, and he still seemed to have some hesitation.

Compared to them, Kaunitz and the others looked to be calmer. After all, they had long before started their preparatory work in their respective clans. Renowned Knight characters had been the ones to choose their future paths for them. Therefore, Kaunitz and the others had immediately been able to choose their routes from the seventeen jobs.

Fang Xingjian also sat down and started to fill in the application form.

Out of the materials that Manny the librarian had gotten for him, he focused on the four main jobs, namely the Void Sword Sovereign, Starcluster Hunter, Windstorm Sword Hero and Sovereign of Ten Thousand Swords. Although he also swept across the other sword based jobs, they could not compare to these four.

In addition, these four jobs brought greater advantages compared to the seventeen the instructor had listed. Fang Xingjian believed that only if he chose one of these would he be able to eradicate the Onassis Clan, to suppress Li Shuanghua and question her about his mother, all by himself in the span of four and a half years.

Out of these four jobs, the Void Sword Sovereign’s attribute increment was the lowest, but the Sword Qi of the Void was unpredictable and impossible to guard against. It was said to be the best for sneak attacks and assassinations.

Starcluster Hunter brought unparalleled reflexes, and would even be able to predict battle situations to a certain degree. Out of the four jobs, it was the best for close combat.

Windstorm Sword Hero brought unparalleled speed, allowing one to battle and then escape with ease. It had the highest level in terms of generic abilities.

The last one, the Sovereign of Ten Thousand Swords, allowed for the accumulation of powers and releasing them at once. It was the best for arena battles. Amongst the four, it was the best in terms of explosive force, and for one on one battles.

As for the other sword-based jobs Manny had gathered information on, he only glanced through them once, quickly. They were truly unable to compare with these four.

Fang Xingjian pondered for a very long time, scanning through the historical records of the many strong Warriors, which Manny had brought at a later time, before he finally decided to choose Windstorm Sword Hero for his first job transition.

One reason was because the speed of his movements and actions was too important, and as long as these two aspects were of high enough level, then he would be able to both attack and defend, and he would be able to have absolute overwhelming powers over his weaker opponents.

This made the overall abilities for the Windstorm Sword Hero to be stronger. In addition, with Fang Xingjian’s sword talent, combined with the unrivalled agility and numerous sword arts, his battle prowess would rise greatly.

Of course, the most important thing was that from his research, he had noticed that only three people in the Empire’s entire history had succeeded in transitioning into Windstorm Sword Hero. However, all three of them had eventually completed the third transition, and had become strong Warriors of the Divine Level. Fang Xingjian had the confidence that he would be able to transition into any of these four jobs, and so he eventually decided on the Windstorm Sword Hero.

After having looked through the records of the only three strong Warriors to successfully undergo this job transition in the whole of the Empire’s history, Fang Xingjian started to think about something else.

‘Windstorm Sword Hero may be able to go even further… and might even be able to fully surpass the other three jobs!’

Not much later, everyone had made their choice. No matter whether they were hesitant, certain, or regretful, eventually they had all made a decision which would affect them for life.

After the instructor collected everyone’s applications, he took and glance and frowned.

“Fang Xingjian…” He looked towards Fang Xingjian and asked, “Are you sure that you want to select Windstorm Sword Hero?”

“Windstorm Sword Hero?” Jack turned his head to Fang Xingjian who was beside him and asked, “Xingjian, this isn’t one of the seventeen transition jobs?”

Fang Xingjian calmly answered, “It’s not. I came across this in the library.”

Hearing his reply, Jack and Anthony could not help but smile bitterly, looking at him as if they were looking at a monster.

Kaunitz laughed out loud, his gaze towards Fang Xingjian expressing extreme disdain, and said “Ignorant people are truly fearless.”

Barbara, Ferdinand and the others also grinned coldly, looking at Fang Xingjian as if they were looking at an idiot.
