Chapter 100 (2/2)

“Now, with me alone, you’ve lost all your standing and reputation. How many people are there under the First Prince? How many of them are stronger than me, have a higher status than me, have a even more terrifying identity than me?”

Fang Xingjian continued to keep his eyes closed, unceasingly cultivating his sword techniques in his mind. His sword arts seemed to have reached a crucial point, so he directed all his attention to them.

From then on, no matter how much Charlie threatened and baited him, Fang Xingjian did not react at all. More and more of his sword techniques had reached the maximum level, and his cultivation had entered a never before encountered state of focus. It was as if, in his mind, the whole world had started to change.

Charlie did not know about this at all, and only thought that Fang Xingjian was still putting up a fight. Therefore, he rolled up his sleeves, slowly starting to move behind Fang Xingjian and exerting pressure on him. It was Charlie’s Reduced Force Field.

“You’re better off not retaliating. I have 107 points in strength. Even if it’s only the Reduced Force Field, it’s not something you’ll be able to face.”

Seeing that Fang Xingjian was still not reacting or making a sound Charlie let out a cold laugh, and gradually started pressing down on Fang Xingjian’s shoulders.

Fang Xingjian ignored him, or rather, he had already lost all his senses relating to the outside world. His mind continued cultivating his sword arts. There was just one more Nurturing technique to be brought to the maximum level, and the blurred specialty was getting increasingly clearer as well. The next word ‘Sword’ had already appeared.

An entirely new feeling forced Fang Xingjian to continue to search for it, fully immersing him in cultivation.

Charlie’s wrist was like cast iron, gradually increasing the strength applied on Fang Xingjian’s shoulders.

His face revealed a brutal expression. “We have a lot of time, you can think about it slowly.”

If not for the news that Fang Xingjian had transcended the speed of sound was too astonishing, he would have applied certain means on Fang Xingjian. But now, he was also left with no choice. No matter if it was a success or failure, it was his last interrogation.

And although Fang Xingjian had broken through the sound barrier, it only proved that he had great talent. While breaking through the speed of sound could mean that he could have his way amongst those in the first transition, when facing a Conferred Knight, the gap was very large.

Just as Charlie was gradually grabbing onto Fang Xingjian’s shoulder with more and more force, Fang Xingjian’s mental sword practice got increasingly faster, increasingly faster.

Creak creak. His shoulder was suddenly grabbed so hard that it started making creaking sounds, as if it would break at any moment.

The experience for the last set of Nurturing technique soared, and was nearing the maximum level.

Finally, with a huge boom in Fang Xingjian’s mind, the last set of the Nurturing technique reached the maximum level. That new speciality finally appeared. Fang Xingjian only felt that ten thousands of swords had appeared, as if something had changed and was just taking shape. All the sword techniques gathered together and then exploded with a boom. At the next moment, he suddenly fainted.

Seeing Fang Xingjian’s head slant, Charlie’s heart suddenly leapt and he immediately let go of his hand.

“Hey, Fang Xingjian, what’s wrong with you?”

Seeing that there was no reply, Charlie furrowed his brows and said, “Don’t think that you’ll be fine just because you’re putting up a fainting act.”

He tested the other party’s breath and heartbeat. They felt that normal. But no matter how much he pushed or pulled Fang Xingjian, or even splashed water on his face, Fang Xingjian still appeared to be as if he was asleep, without any reaction.

Charlie started to panic. ‘Could it be that Fang Xingjian has reached his limits? But he doesn’t look so weak.’

He attempted to lay Fang Xingjian on the ground and then took a closer look. He realized that the other party still had no reaction, as if he was really asleep.

‘What’s going on?’

Just as he was feeling troubled, the door was kicked open with a bang. Charlie was just about to curse out, he kept his mouth shut when he saw who it was. His paled face turned pale.

Huang Lin was the first to dash in. When he saw Fang Xingjian on the floor, he immediately went up to check out the situation.

Governor Devitt also walked in. Seeing Fang Xingjian unconscious on the floor, his brows furrowed.

Entering with Devitt was an elderly man dressed in black. He wore almost the same clothes as Charlie, but with an additional rim of gold at the sides, making him appear even more dignified.

“Sir, why… Why are you here as well?” Charlie said, stammering.

The old man glared, saying, “Have you forgotten the association’s regulations? We always stay neutral, and do not take part in the internal strife within the Empire.” He threw a glance towards Fang Xingjian and asked, “What happened? What did you do?”

In that instant, a feeling that great trouble had fallen came to him. Charlie’s smiled turned extremely bitter, “I really did not do anything. He just fainted by himself.”

However, Huang Lin noticed that Fang Xingjian would not wake up no matter what. He looked at Charlie and said, brimming with killing intent, “Devitt, you were the one who had assured me that my disciple will definitely be fine. What now? This matter will not end here.”

Devitt also furrowed his brows and said, “Let the doctor take a look first.” He looked towards the elderly at the said, “Seems that there’s a lot of problems within the association. Some investigator’s characteristics are also worrying. I’ll definitely be reporting this to his Majesty.

“And if I were to find out that something has happened to Fang Xingjian, hmph hmph…”

Although he did not say anything in the end, cool air seemed to float around the whole place. Frost formed in the corners of the room.

A second transition level 29 strong Warrior. Even if it was just a slight killing intention, it was sufficient to make anyone tremble in fear.

The old man’s face was extremely grim. His gaze towards Charlie was as if he wanted to devour him.

Charlie’s countenance turned extremely bad. He opened his mouth and said in a bitter voice, “I really haven’t done anything yet!”
