Over a hundred meters away from Fang Xingjian’s villfa, Hylong was secretly observing the over fifty people on the lawn. He noticed that everyone was putting great effort in their cultivation, regardless of whether they were from the junior or senior classes, regardless of whether they were using swords or spears, or even if they were using bare fist martial arts.

As for Fang Xingjian, he was was seated cross-legged, occasionally shooting out streams of sword Qis to hit their bodies.

Even when if Hylong was at a distance away, he could still hear the occasional shouts from the lawn.

“So that’s how it is! So that’s how it is! I understand now!”

“Hahahaha, I got it! I finally got it!”

“Level 10! I’ve finally mastered this set of sword technique to level 10! The past three years of hard work have not gone to waste.”

He could hear those occasional shouts, as if they had come from heretic followers. There were even a few female students who kept on moving closer to Fang Xingjian. Everytime they were touched and caressed by his sword Qis, they would reveal an expression of joy.

Seeing that, Hylong’s expression turn even more grim. He had never taken Fang Xingjian’s classes before and was therefore unable to even think of its effects.

“What is this? They’re making it seem as if it’s a gathering by the Church of Universal Truth.

“Is this class really so useful?”

Although he was very suspicious about it, when he recalled how Link had defeated him earlier, Hylong felt an itch in his heart. He wanted to try out the effects of this Fang Xingjian’s class.

When he thought of Fang Xingjian, however he once again felt extremely disgusted and furious. He could not force himself to go up to Fang Xingjian, let alone asking him for guidance on his sword arts.

Just as he was hesitating, someone abruptly walked up from behind him. Hylong turned back to see the elegant looking Ferdinand, dressed in white clothes and walking over with a few servants.

Hylong’s face immediately turned red. ‘Damn it. Why is he here? Did he see how I acted earlier?’

It was a pity that Ferdinand crushed his hopes very quickly. He spoke with a smile, “Isn’t this Hylong? Why? After sneaking a peek for so long, are you also thinking of signing up for the class now? Seeing that you’ve realized your mistakes, how about I only charge you six gold a month? This price will be increased very soon.”

Hylong turned red on hearing this, after which he furiously retorted, “This is but a stupid class. I only happened to pass by and therefore came to take a look. With this foul atmosphere, who the hell would want to participate?” After saying that, he left very quickly.

Seeing that he was so angry and panicky, Ferdinand chuckled and continued to head to where Fang Xingjian was.

Before he could come near, he already saw four to five girls cultivating only a few meters away from Fang Xingjian. Each time they were hit by Fang Xingjian’s sword Qi, they would have on an excited, happy, and joyous expression.

Ferdinand said helplessly, “Please make way. It’s just cultivating, do you guys have to be like this?”

The few female Knights rolled their eyes at Ferdinand and continued with their practice. What was a few words of teasing compared to the speedy progress that Fang Xingjian could give them? After all, in this world, one’s fist was the greatest reason.

Ferdinand did not bother himself with them and just got the servants to bring out the items they were holding. The first one was a set of blue and white practice clothes. He said, “Xingjian, how about giving everyone who signed up for the class a set of practice clothes? This would unify what everyone is wearing and could increase unity. Moreover, this set of training clothes is very similar to Knight attire. If it’s pushed out, I’m sure those administrative staff and servants would want to sign up more.”

He then took out a piece of brochure and said, “There’s about over eighty students in a Prefectural Academy and tens of instructors, but there is up to a thousand administrative staff and servants in total.
