Chapter 122 (2/2)
“This Ether Effulgence Weapon of mine is called Green Fantasy, an Inferior Remains Divine Weapon which had reached level 10. Although it is not tangible and is unable to defend against physical sword blows, its poisonous damage could be a threat to level 10 Knights.
“Of course, because Ether Effulgence Weapon are formed from repeated layerings of waves of ether particles and light, they are not tangible and are only able to provide only special effects. Therefore it could not be comparable to a Divine Weapon of an equivalent level.
“However, the Ether Effulgence Weapon had another unique trait, which was to be able to adhere onto a physical object. It was a Killing technique which could strengthen as your abilities strengthened, continuously raising the prowess of one’s weapons.
“Moreover, the Ether Divine Art from our Spiritual Weapon Hall is a training method which can allow one’s Effulgence Weapon’s level to be raised all the way to level 30. Not every training method for Effulgence Weapon can do this.”
A satisfied smiled appeared on Fang Xingjian’s face. With a slight movement of his palm, white colored light gradually flashed as if they were forming into something, yet were similar to a recorder with poor reception, unable to do much.
‘So this is Effulgence Weapon?’ Fang Xingjian suddenly recalled that when he had battled against Rota and the other three, Rota, the female Knight who was more than a match for most men, had suddenly unleashed an explosive force towards the end. The longspear that she had formed from red light should also have been a Effulgence Weapon as well. However, while her method was also one which would allow even a Knight to be able to perform it, it was much coarser compared to the Ether Divine Art from the Spiritual Weapon Hall and could even cause inflict great damages onto one’s body.
Fang Xingjian lifted his head and asked, “Where is the next half of the manual for the Ether Divine Art?”
Charlie said calmly, “If you promise to testify for me, saying that I had not secretly inflicted harm on you during the interrogation, I’ll naturally pass you the second half of the manual for the Ether Divine Art.”
Fang Xingjian nodded, saying, “No problem.”
Charlie said, astonished, “You’ve agreed?”
“Why? You’re not agreeable?” Fang Xingjian let out a cold smile and said, “After all, even if I were to testify for you, you still won’t be able to ever be valued by those in leadership. Even if you were not sent to the southern borders and are allowed to remain in the association, you’ll just be a ******** character in the future.
“And my progress will only get increasingly faster. I’ll soon be able to surpass you. So why do I need to spend so much time on you?
“But are you so sure that after I’ve testified, they would just let you go like that?”
“You don’t have to worry about this.” Charlie nodded, saying dejectedly, “However, it’s not so easy to break through and become a Conferred Knight. There has been countless Knights in history who were unable to make it past the stage of Heaven’s Perception, and thus were unable to go through the second transition all their lives. Hehe.
“Alright, someone from the association will be coming to ask you some questions in a while. You’ll just need to be careful of what you reply. Latest by tonight, I’ll send you the later half of the manual for the Ether Divine Art.
“Remember, after you’re done with it, burn it immediately, and don’t let anyone find out that you’ve cultivated the Ether Divine Art. Otherwise, the people from Spiritual Weapon Hall will not let you off.”
As long as Fang Xingjian attested for Charlie, the First Prince’s powers would naturally be able to pull Charlie out from the fix.
And Fang Xingjian obviously understood the importance of the sect’s most treasured manual. Although he did not know what the consequences were for Charlie to have secretly imparted it to him, it was still better to keep it to himself.
As for what price Charlie had paid to make up for his mistake this time around in the other areas, Fang Xingjian was not concerned. It obviously must have been a very painful price to pay.
That night, Fang Xingjian looked at the completed set of manual for the Ether Divine Art and started analyzing it excitedly.
As long as he grasped this Ether Divine Art, he would be able to perform the Effulgence Weapon as a Knight when only Conferred Knights were able to do so. This allowed him an additional effect with his weapon as his abilities accumulated a slight growth.
Moreover, this was a treasured manual of a sect which could be trained to attain a level 30 Effulgence Weapon. The Effulgence Weapon’s cultivation methods from most sects were already seen as very valuable.
Of course, an Effulgence Weapon could only increase the effects of a weapon and increase Knights’ damaging prowess. It was a Killing technique which pursued destructive force and damaging prowess. It had no effect towards the nurturing and strengthening of the human body.
He sat down cross-legged, Waves circulating non-stop throughout his body. In his hands, streams of twisted light rays were jumping and flashing, but did not form together.
Because of the unique traits Waves in the human body, each person would only ever be able to have one of it. The special effect each individual managed to cultivate would vary based on their character, Waves, and mental cultivation method. It was basically very hard to accurately forecast what one would get. And every time a person tried to form a new Effulgence Weapon, their Effulgence Weapon’s level would be reset to zero.
Therefore the first step of forming a Effulgence Weapon with regards to the style and type was to create was especially important.
Thus, each Conferred Knight would be extremely careful and think through a lot when they were trying to create their own Ether Effulgence Weapon.
Rather than saying that it was a weapon, it could be said that this was a special effect for weapons which could be used anytime, at any place, and could even be alternated through different weapons.
Now, what Fang Xingjian wanted was to firm up his foundations, condensing the best Ether Effulgence Weapon to be used as a powerful enhancer for his Divine Weapon in the future.
In his palms, countless white light gradually formed into the shape of a longsword, but at the next moment, the light rays scattered, his longsword was dispersed. Fang Xingjian shook his head, “This one won’t do.”
Then, new light started to jump and flash about again between his two palms.
That night, Fang Xingjian created countless Ether Effulgence Weapons in the shape of a sword, and then crumbled them.
It was a pity that this technique was not one for sword arts, but rather it had to do with one’s comprehension of ether particles and Waves. This was why Fang Xingjian’s progress for this particular technique was unprecedentedly slow.
