Chapter 103: Waking Up
Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations
During the days when Fang Xingjian had been unconscious, Charlie had experienced the darkest moments of his life.
In the small dark room, he had been the one seated in the interrogation chair this time around.
His ex-colleague coughed and slowly said, “Charlie, I won’t say much. You know our regulations. Confess honestly, it’ll save you from having a hard time, and it won’t make it harder for our brothers either.”
Charlie furiously shouted, “I did not do anything!”
“Haha, you didn’t do anything, but a Knight is lying down in sickbed, with injuries all over?” His colleague’s eyes narrowed as he smiled and said, “We all know everything inside out, as well as the available means and methods. What’s the point of telling me this now?”
With that he stood up, looking at Charlie extremely coldly and said, “This time around, you’ve thrown away our association’s face. Do you really think that you’d be able to reach the south borders at ease?
“You had better confess honestly. What have you done to Fang Xingjian? Why is it that he hasn’t been able to wake up until now?”
Indifferently, he asked, “Was it poison? Remains Divine Weapon? Or was it some unique speciality or ability? How on earth did you do it?”
Charlie’s face seemed to have aged ten years as he sighed and said, “I’ve already said that I haven’t done anything.”
The colleague opposite him only smiled coldly, obviously unable to trust Charlie’s words.
He spoke out, “Seems like you don’t want to say it. Then let us continue our chat tomorrow.”
With that, he left, leaving Charlie alone in the small dark room, pulling his hair and frantically trying to think.
‘What on earth is happening?’
…
Just like that, time passed by day after day. News of Fang Xingjian’s being in a coma gradually spread throughout the academy.
The one in the most agony was Charlie, since for the past few days, he had eventually received an even more severe interrogation than Fang Xingjian had.
Although there was no torture and no violence, the forceful coercion had borne down on him with the weight of Mount Tai. With just a slight pressure from the Empire’s higher management, he already felt extreme despair. In addition, having been given only a small amount of drinking water and diluted porridge daily, his eye circles had turned increasingly dark, his body had got increasingly weak, and even his cheeks had sunk in. He was turning thin and feeble at an astonishing rate.
A whole seven days passed by, and the whole academy had heard the news that Fang Xingjian was now wasted. Charlie had also spent the darkest seven days of his life.
Until today, when the colleague who was interrogating once again walked in, looking at Charlie pitifully as he said, “Fang Xingjian has woken up. Today is your last chance. You’d better confess. What on earth have you done?”
Hearing this, Charlie’s face turned grim, his eyes ravishing with joy, “What? Fang Xingjian is awake? Let me meet him! I beg of you, please let me meet him! Let me have a confrontation with him directly. I’ve really not done anything!”
The two colleagues exchanged glances and said, “Let’s ask the lord.”
…
In the ward, Fang Xingjian was already awake. His physique was really good, and coupled with the treatment the academy had provided for him, disregarding the amount of money they spent, his injuries had already recovered.
However, he did not open his eyes immediately, but simply looked at his Attributes Window.
All this time, he had first cultivated in his villa, and had secretly stolen Nurturing techniques during the competitions, followed by twenty-four hours of unceasing cultivation in the small dark room. Other than the increase in attributes provided by his potential, he had also gained additional increase in attributes thanks to the Nurturing techniques which did not overlap with the ones he had already learnt.
Of course, because he had also cultivated unceasingly, day and night, he had gained another level. Level 4 Sonido Sword Zephyr Waves allowed his strength, endurance, reaction and flexibility to increase by 4 points, while his agility had increased by a full 8 points.
His daily potential had increased yet again, since he had acquired a few more sets of Nurturing sword techniques which did not overlap with his previous ones.
Although it seemed as if the increase had not been significant, since the gaps between each additional point of increase got wider and wider, Fang Xingjian’s powers had increased by a great degree.
But with the decrease in the number of Nurturing techniques that he could gain attributes increases from, he could only rely on using his potential points to increase his attributes. Thus, the speed of the increase in attributes had also got slower.
