In the ward, Fang Xingjian’s consciousness was extremely active. Countless sword moves were demonstrated in his mind, and an indescribable aura churned around in his consciousness, making him focus like never before, and keeping him unconscious, unable to bring his infatuated consciousness back to awareness.
At the same time, on his Specialty Window, the words ‘Unparalleled Sword Intent’ got increasingly clearer, as if it would be fully completed in a few days’ time.
Now, Fang Xingjian’s consciousness was condensed into this Unparalleled Sword Intent. when he woke up, the level of cultivation for his sword arts would once again reach a new height, and his powers would surge at a greater scale.
…
In another place, in an extremely splendid manor which was three times bigger than Fang Xingjian’s villa. A silver-haired neat-looking man who gave off a feeling similar to mountain spring water was seated at the dining table, eating and casually replying, “Is that so? That Fang Xingjian has been crippled?”
This man was the Prefectural Champion from Class 248 of the Knight Academy, the great genius Hamil. He was also known to be the strongest amongst all students, with high hopes of getting through the Regional Selection in another one to two years.
Hearing his words, his steward said, “That’s right. It’s said that he might have lost his consciousness forever, never to wake up.”
“It’s such a pity. I originally wanted to defeat him fair and square before everyone, and let everyone know who is truly the strongest in Kirst Academy. To think that he could not even get through a small interrogation. It just shows that he can only go so far.”
Hamil shook his head, “No matter how talented a Knight is, without a strong will, he will never be able to accomplish great things.
“It’s a pity, it’s a pity. I’d thought that it would finally be more exciting in this academy. To think that he fell before he even started rising.”
With that, Hamil inhaled deeply, his tone filled with extreme loneliness.
…
A barefoot Knight was feeling the earth with his skin as he continued to sense the tremors in the ground. Baring his upper body, he waved his sword again and again in the air.
With each wave of his sword, a tremendous amount of perspiration appeared all over his body, completely drenching his feet.
This person was Class 249’s genius, Ralph, who was just a tad weaker than the academy’s strongest student Hamil.
He was also equally talented, a swordsman with a will as firm as rock. He went through tough training sessions day and night, which ensured him an extremely strong foundation.
“The body is one’s capital.
“A person’s physique and attributes are the crux.
“Because, regardless what skill or Killing technique it is, one needs high attributes to fully display it.
“One’s attributes determine one’s future.”
Beside him, a younger Knight who was practicing sword arts with him nodded furiously at his words, and started putting even more effort in his training.
After a while, a servant came in, handing the Knight a letter.
With a casual glance, he threw away the letter and continued his practice.
That young man glanced over curiously, unable to hold it in and asked, “Elder Brother, what is it?”
“Fang Xingjian has been crippled.”
“Ahh, that sixteen year old Windstorm Sword Hero? I heard that he’s a hot favorite in this year’s inter-class competition.”
Ralph snorted coldly and said, “He’s just a chap who relies on his talent and job speciality to bully novices, a genius made by flattery. Even if he had not been crippled, I would have definitely defeated him.”
The young man smiled and said, “That’s true. Elder brother’s goal is Hamil, after all. After defeating him, you’ll have the confidence to participate in the Regional Selection, right?”
“Regional Selection?” A faint gleam flashed in Ralph’s eyes.The Regional Selection was his actual goal. Those whose goals were the inter-class competition and getting into the academy could not understand how far his goal was.
