Chapter 134: Getting Out of the Cage
Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations
Over the next few days, most of the Knights in the academy left together with the troops. In the blink of an eye, the whole academy had turned cold and deserted.
Fang Xingjian sat cross-legged on the floor, cultivating his sword arts while simultaneously looking at the mental cultivation method on his Stats Window.
‘Universal Sword Dominance**’
Even since the other day, he had faced up to Huang Lin’s reprimands but did not back off. His mental cultivation method had become clearer again, and he just needed an additional turning point to reach its completion.
These few days, he had been kept locked up by Huang Lin, therefore he decided to fully focus on his sword arts cultivation for now in order to complete the Unparalleled Sword Intent. After a few days, he had reached the maximum level for yet another three sword techniques. He now had a total of seventy-eight sets of sword techniques which were at the maximum level.
Other than that, he naturally had not stopped tempering his attributes and cultivating his Waves.
He checked the basement of the villa and discovered that there were truly plenty of rations and preserved ferocious beasts stocked up, sufficient to last him for very long.
As for the sword forces left behind by Huang Lin, he had also tested them out. However, it was not easy to destroy them.
After so many days had passed by, Fang Xingjian lifted his head and let out a sigh.
The last day of the year had passed by and Fang Xingjian still had four years out of the promised five. He was now seventeen years old.
Looking up into the sky, Fang Xingjian’s expression was very calm, but it was still as if flames were burning in his eyes.
“Demonic City…”
At that moment, loud noises came from afar. Fang Xingjian frowned as he looked into the far distance, only to discover than the noises were growing increasingly loud. It seemed that many people had came out.
While almost all the Knights in the academy had left, there were still many people left behind, including the servants, chefs, and maids. As the din grew increasingly louder, Fang Xingjian saw a tan young man in his twenties heading in his direction.
That young man’s skin was very dark and dry, the result of exposure to the blazing sun for an extended period of time. His hands and feet were filled with calluses, indicating that he must have done a lot of physical labor.
Walking up to Fang Xingjian, he dropped to his knees right before where Huang Lin had left his sword force. He kowtowed repeatedly, banging his head against the ground and creating loud colliding sounds. In a short moment, his forehead was covered in blood.
Fang Xingjian looked at him coldly, with no feelings of sympathy and benevolence. Fang Xingjian watched as the young man kowtowed for over ten times, his forehead dripping in blood as he said, “Lord Fang Xingjian, I’m Walilan from Harvest Fishing Village.”
Fang Xingjian looked at the young man’s eyes and expression, which was filled with pain and fury, and slowly recalled everything.
Harvest Fishing Village was the fishing village which had taken him in when he had first arrived in the Miracle World. With the exemplary memory he had attained with his mental cultivation method, the image of a shy young man from his mind gradually matched with this young man before him.
He slowly asked, “What happened?”
“The Old Master is dead! Everyone in the village is dead!” Walilan sprawled down onto the ground and broke out in tears. The guards and servants who were chasing after him all came to a stop, exchanging glances as they looked at this scene.
“You guys can take your leave.” Fang Xingjian dismissed most of the servants before asking, “Who did it?”
“It’s the Great Warriors from Garcia.” That person cried. “Other than me, everyone else in the village are all dead. After those people came ashore, they killed everyone they saw, even the women and children!”
Garcia’s Great Warriors were comparable to the local Knights. It was the how the people from Garcia addressed the Warriors who had completed the first transition and gained extraordinary strength.
