“It’s finally completed.”

Fang Xingjian closed his eyes, reviewing the situation within his body. Now, regardless of whether he was sitting, lying down, or walking, he would be constantly practicing various sword moves. No matter if he was running, jumping, walking, or sleeping, the muscles and bones in his body would be activated through various sword stances to hone his body.

What was more amazing was that while the tens of sword techniques for different styles and varieties looked like a horrible mess when connected, they put pressure on his body, stirring his breath, and slapping against his blood vessels, allowing him to activate a circulation with the same style as the Mistral Windgod’s Waves.

Fang Xingjian felt that every single bone, every single piece of muscle in his body was constantly being trained.

Not only that, because he moved and activated various parts of his body through sword movements, this also meant that Fang Xingjian was constantly practicing sword techniques.

It was as if he was accumulating experience in the sword techniques at all times, increasing and depleting potential.

Merging the Waves with sword techniques, and constantly circulating Waves for twenty-four hours every day allowed his daily activities to maintain the state required for the Waves.

This was his result from the past few days, integrating the Waves into sword techniques, and then integrating sword techniques into his daily activities. Now, so long as he was alive, he was constantly practicing sword arts and cultivating Waves.

However, most of his sword techniques had already reached the maximum level. After his potential had reached the upper limit, it would not continue to increase. After fully depleting his potential, it would not be good for him to continue applying Training techniques.

However, this was sufficient. To be able to practice sword techniques at all times spared Fang Xingjian from having to spend a large amount of time on his sword practice to accumulate potential in order to increase his attributes.

The best thing was that it also allowed him to circulate Waves at all times, replacing Waves cultivation through the path of sword arts. Fang Xingjian looked at the Techniques Column of his stats screen. The experience for Mistral Windgod’s Waves was increasing frantically with the passing of every second.

‘With this speed, the progress rate of the Waves would be faster since I’m now cultivating it through sword arts practice.

‘I feel that all the muscles all over my body are going through a complete makeover.’

At present, Fang Xingjian was like a piece of material placed on a forging platform, with the thousand and tens of thousand of sword techniques being like many hammers, continuously knocking on his body, causing the muscles all over his bodies to change gradually.

And as for the past two months, all sorts of nourishment and vital essence hidden in his body from the medicinal food, the ferocious beasts, and the tonic that he had eaten were all knocked out, merging into his body together with the Mistral Windgod’s Waves.

However, even though he was on the path to achieving the Perfect Muscles, a physical body was still the physical body. Even if you had comprehended it, you would still need to gradually make changes to the physical body to achieve any sort of success.

It was impossible for one to immediately undergo huge progress and have the physical body go through an evolution just from comprehending it. Those were celestial arts, not sword arts.

Now that one has comprehended it, it would just be a mental change. The physical body would still need to go through a gradual change one day at a time.

“I’ll need to make the best use of my time.” Fang Xingjian’s expression was solemn. At present, he was only short of three specialties to be able to go through with the job transition. For the Perfect Muscles, he could only wait for his body to change gradually. What he needed to do now was to rely on his extremely high attributes to get the other two specialties.

For the next seven days, he underwent tough cultivation for his Waves, sword arts, and specialties. But during his daily activities, regardless if he was walking, sitting or lying down, he increasingly felt that something was off.

…

Seven days later, on the Kirst Royal Academy’s battle arena.

Kaunitz was drawn and pointed to the ground as he stood there, his eyes closed. His head of golden hair danced in the wind and was a shining a brilliant glow as if it was the sun’s.

Waiting from noon till now, over half an hour had passed. But on the promised date of the battle, Fang Xingjian did not appear even after so much time had passed.

At the bottom of the arena, over a hundred people were waiting to observe the battle.

While there were only over a hundred people, it was not a number to be underestimated. The whole academy had only nine classes, and excluding the few who had gotten through the Regional Selection and entered the Regional Royal Academy, there were only over eighty students in total. If it was not for the tens of instructors who had came by, it was impossible for there to even be a hundred people gathered.

Seeing that Fang Xingjian had not arrived after so long, the people in the crowd started whispering amongst themselves.

“Why is Fang Xingjian not here yet?”

“He must be scared.”
