After taking a look at the list, it suddenly occurred to Kilot and he said, “I’m sorry, let me read it out for you.”

Fang Xingjian shook his head and asked, “Is there Seism Steel?”

“Seism Steel?” Kilot gave it some thought. Now that Fang Xingjian was blind, defense was definitely more important to him than offense. It made sense that he would need materials like Seism Steel to make his protective gears. Thus, he nodded, saying, “How much do you need? Or we can give you ready-made Seism Steel protective gears that we have as well.”

Fang Xingjian shook his head again and said, “I don’t need protective gears. I only need Seism Steel, about a hundred kilograms of it. Are you guys able to give me that?” He estimated that he should be able to complete his High Frequency Effulgence Weapon with about one hundred kilograms of Seism Steel.

“A hundred kilograms?” Kilot frowned. Seism Steel was something which required a tremendous amount of effort in various processes, including mining, excavating, extracting and smelting. A hundred kilograms would be almost equivalent to what the Western Garrison would be able to get in a year.

Moreover, just by adding a small amount of Seism Steel into protective gears would already allow one to have a greater resistance towards quakes. How many sets of armors could a hundred kilograms of Seism Steel make?

Kilot could not begin to think of what Fang Xingjian would need these for. However, even though his eyes were filled with doubt, thinking of how this person had killed Mumukeya, Kilot nodded and said, “If it’s a hundred kilograms of Seism Steel, it’s not problem. But if you want this much, we would probably only be able to give you this one hundred kilograms of Seism Steel and nothing else.

“Are you sure this is what you want?”

Fang Xingjian smiled and nodded. “That’s right. When will you guys be able to bring them to me? The sooner, the better.”

“Xingjian, you don’t have to worry. I’ll get someone to send them over within seven days at most.” After saying this, Kilot suddenly changed his tone and continued, “That was the reward and compensation given to you by the army. I’m personally also very thankful for the things you’ve done for the Great Western Region.”

He gave a deep bow toward Fang Xingjian and continued, “I know that it is a great blow for a martial arts practitioner to lose his sense of sight. You must hang on and get through this.

“If there’s anything you need my help for, feel free to approach me anytime.”

After Kilot left, Lilia finally could not hold it in and asked, “Teacher, why do you need Seism Steel? Actually, although the Western Garrison is just a local force, they do have many good items.”

Fang Xingjian shook his head, “I already have a lot of things. I’ll be fine if I can put them all to good use. What’s most important now is still my eyes.” Saying that, he sent out his Ether Sword Ripples and activated the Supreme Mistwind Sword.

The breeze from his hands accelerated and became a gush of violent wind, sending the cups, plates, tables and chairs in the vicinity tumbling.

Just like a radar, as the strong gales blew, every object the wind touched would create sound, allowing Fang Xingjian to be able to sense faintly the presence of various objects in the surroundings.

At the same time, Fang Xingjian estimated the amount of energy depleted by the Ether Sword Ripples. In his current condition, he could perform the Ether Sword Ripples five hundred times. After unleashing so many, he would probably be sapped of all energy and be unable to battle.

Therefore, he formed sword fingers, starting his practice with his fingers in place of an actual sword.

‘If it’s strong gales, I’d be able to roughly sense what is in my surroundings.

‘I’ll need to try out a slight breeze next… I need sharper senses.’

A sense of urgency kept forcing Fang Xingjian to continue on. After the year had passed, Garcia had come attacking. Now, after pursuing and killing them, he had ended up unconscious for a month. There were now only four months left to the Regional Selection which would be held mid this year. If he missed this round, he would not have any hope of participating in the National Selection next year.

To him, who was left with only four years lifespan, this would mean that he would never be able to participate in the National Selection. He would be unable to have a chance at becoming a Royal Knight and going through the third transition. This was something which he could not accept.

It was because he wanted revenge. He wanted to go back and stand before Fang Clan’s Old Granny Li Shuanghua and wanted to find out the truth about his mother. To do this, he would need to have the powers which would allow him to fight against Divine level experts.
