“You’re here?” Huang Lin lifted his head and took a look at Fang Xingjian, fatigue brimming in his eyes.
Fang Xingjian asked, “Teacher, are we going to war?”
“Mmm.” Huang Lin nodded. “Western Garrison requested for us to work hand in hand with them to wipe out those Black Devils from Garcia.
“We’ll be taking action at the end of the month. You should go prepare yourself too.”
“End of the month?” Fang Xingjian did some calculations. If that was the case, there would only be another eight days before they made their move.
Thinking of that, he said, “Teacher, I’d like to take a few days leave and make a trip to Kirst.”
Huang Lin asked, surprised, “To go into the city? What do you want to do?”
Fang Xingjian had already thought up an excuse for himself. “I’ve reached a bottleneck with my mental cultivation method. I would like to have a change of environment to change my mood and see if I can have any new comprehensions.”
“Oh, it’s your mental cultivation method.” Huang Lin nodded. “Everyone needs to work on their mental cultivation method themselves. Even I’m not able to help you with this. Go ahead and have a walk around in Kirst.” He believed that with Fang Xingjian’s current status, not one person would dare to offend him. Even if he were to go to Kirst, there should not be any problems.
Therefore, Fang Xingjian went through the academy’s formalities that afternoon and left with a sword in hand, heading straight for Kirst.
He had three objectives this time around. To gather sword techniques, to brush up his mental cultivation method, and to find a suitable casting material which would be a good match with his Effulgence Weapon.
The mental cultivation method Fang Xingjian was cultivating, Ice Age Meditation Art, required a calm and peaceful mind with no inhibitions. However, for Fang Xingjian, he did not adjust his mental state and calm himself like any ordinary people. He relied on exterminating external demons, eradicating all the things that could perturb his mind and emotions in order to remain calm.
And while he was stripped of the feelings of love, kinship and friendship, he still maintained vengeance, fury, and a concept of what was right or wrong.
Thus, when he came across different things, he would still frown upon them, and still feel fury.
And so, he took off his Knight attire that night, changed into his tattered clothes, attached the Silver Dragon at his waist, held onto a steel sword in his hand, and headed for the commoner district.
In this world, the poorer the place, the messier it would be, and the higher the number unfair occurrences; unlike how it was in the academy with no one daring to offend Fang Xingjian.
And this time around, Fang Xingjian wanted to test something out. He wanted to see if his mental cultivation method would progress if he were to take the initiative to offend other people and then exterminate the external evils with a calm mind.
However, even after he had made a few rounds in the commoner district, no one came to provoke him. Most people would be on their guards upon seeing the longsword he was holding, so who would freely provoke him? This was a world where every single citizen cultivated and countless people made their way to the level of Knights. Who would know if the person holding a sword would be Wei Xiaobao or Ximen Chuixue? Therefore, most of the time, no one would deliberate provoke people carrying weapons.
However, the commoner district was the commoner district. Fang Xingjian took a few rounds around, and while there were not one person who provoked him, he could hear the sound waves from the air with a slight twitch of his hears. It was the sound of crying and begging which came from a lady.
“No!
“I beg of you, please don’t do this!”
With a shift, Fang Xingjian disappeared.
In a small little house in the commoner district, a girl who was about the age of fourteen or fifteen years old had her hands tied up, and another lady was holding onto her legs. A man around forty plus years old touched her face, revealing an extremely excited expression.
At the next moment, he started tearing off the girl’s clothes, feeling all over her body.
The little girl continued to cry and struggle, but stopped and fell into a daze after the man gave her five to six consecutive slaps.
The man grinned and tore off the girl’s clothes. As he stared at her bare chest, he was just planning to have his way when two streams of sword Qis swirled in, knocking off the man and woman who had been holding down the girl’s legs.
The man’s physical attributes were quite good. After all, he was from the Miracle World. If it was in the modern Earth, with his physique, he would be able to become an olympic champion.
The man jumped to his feet, drawing out a small knife and pointing at Fang Xingjian who was at the door. He asked, appearing threatening but was actually cowardly at heart, “Chap, what are you doing? How dare you spoil the fun for your grandfather, Teru. Do you want to have a few more holes on your body?” He had yet to understand how he had fell down earlier.
Fang Xingjian swept a glance towards him, then at the lady behind him. He noticed that the lady was pregnant and had not been able to get to her feet after he she had been swept to the ground by his sword Qi.
Hearing the man’s voice, sword light flashed in the air. The man let out a terrifying cry and one of his ears dropped onto the floor.
