Holding a piece of Seism Steel, Fang Xingjian squeezed down hard. A faint light, which was hard to be seen by the naked eye, exuded from between his fingers and the Seism Steel.

Fang Xingjian had activated the Ether Effulgence Weapon and was starting to smelt this Seism Steel.

In the Ether Divine Art that Charlie sent him, there was a method recorded which was about smelting materials to accelerate the formation of the Effulgence Weapon.

It was because a large majority of Effulgence Weapons would require a very long time to form if they were formed by stacking up layers of ether particles. However, if one was to use a suitable material which could adapt to the Effulgence Weapon’s characteristics, he would be able to absorb the material’s essence into the body and eventually use it to provide support to the formation of the Effulgence Weapon.

With a hundred kilograms of Seism Steel, Fang Xingjian could extract the essential 1% essence from them. With that, Fang Xingjian should have enough of them to form his High Frequency Effulgence Weapon.

With an extremely quick tremble, the Seism Steel in Fang Xingjian’s hands suddenly exploded with a bang, breaking off into two chunks.

Fang Xingjian frowned and said coldly, “These Seism Steel have too many impurities. This isn’t qualified Seism Steel. How much of other substances were added in?” The Seism Steel Fang Xingjian had come across in Kirst previously would not break from such a minor tremble.

The quality of this batch of Seism Steel was far from what he had imagined them to be. If all ten pieces of them were like this, it would be far from what he needed to smelt in order to create his High Frequency Effulgence Weapon.

“Erm…” That delivery man blanked out for a moment and said, “I… I don’t know. The bosses got me to deliver these.”

Fang Xingjian laughed coldly as he took out the rest of the Seism Steel. In the end, all ten pieces cracked when he tried them out. There were even three of them which had shattered into pieces, without not even a hint of Seism Steel in it.

“Excellent. You guys are trying to cheat me now?” Sword light flashed in Fang Xingjian’s hand and the tip of the sword was pressed against the delivery man’s neck. He asked, “What is going on? Has this batch of Seism Steel been swapped?”

“I… I really don’t know… I only got the instructions from my bosses to bring this here.” That delivery man was on the verge of tears and he said in panic, “I’ll bring you to meet that officer. He’s still in the city. He was the one who got me to send this here.”

Fang Xingjian grabbed his head and spoke next to his ears, “If I find out that you’ve lied, I’ll dig out your heart and stuff it into your mouth.”

The next moment, a strong gust of wind blew and Fang Xingjian had already dashed out, grabbing the delivery man with him.

The delivery man let out a series of screams as they flew out. Everything in their surroundings changed rapidly and in the blink of an eye, they stopped. He had already arrived on the streets outside the academy.

Fang Xingjian spoke out in a cold voice, “Point out the direction.”

The delivery man panted heavily. Lifting up his hand, he pointed toward the direction of Kirst City with his trembling fingers.

The scene before his eyes once again flashed past very rapidly. Everything was moving backwards crazily, as though they had come together and formed many lines.

A loud shout came from the academy’s entrance, “Lord Fang Xingjian! Without permission, you’re not allowed to leave the academy’s premises!”

…

In the tavern, two military officers had their legs up on the table, laughing loudly as if there was no one around.

The surrounding people glanced at their dress-up. They were wearing the Knight attire on the inside, with the Western Garrison’s uniform on the outside. Basically, no one dared to stare in their direction.

Seeing that the surrounding people were looking in their direction, one of them, who had a moustache, threw a glance towards their surroundings. The redness on his face grew even more obvious as he hollered in his drunken state, “What are you guys looking at? We’re the ones who saved you. We’re your saviors. It’s because we’re putting our lives on the line outside that weaklings like you can stay in the city and enjoy your lives.”

Saying that, he once again broke into great laughter, “Boss, bring more wine!”
