Chapter 203: Prove
Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations
Governor Devitt had stood up for Fang Xingjian in the past, but that was because the other party had displayed an extraordinary talent.
Now, however, Fang Xingjian was just a blind man. What right did he have to ask for the governor’s help? Moreover, Fang Xingjian had rejected the Holy Orison’s invitation right before so many people. If Devitt were to easily agree to his request, would he not be going against Yuelun?
Of course, most importantly, Fang Xingjian had been late. Judging on this fact alone, logic was not on his side.
Therefore, Devitt only smiled and said, “Xingjian, I understand how you feel, but there’s a deadline to the registration. This is the rule. The content of the competition for this Regional Selection will be announced in the Hundred Blossom Banquet today. The content has been planned out based on the registered number of candidates and we can’t change it easily.”
David threw a glance at Lilia and smiled, “This is the person you like? He’s not only a fool, but also a good-for-nothing. Take a good look here to see him being humiliated by everyone.”
Lilia was not willing to accept it, but her gaze when looking at Fang Xingjian was also filled with pity.
But just as Devitt had finished his words and Fang Xingjian was frowning, Valen immediately stood out and said, “Sir, although Fang Xingjian was late, he has already stepped into the realm of Heaven’s Perception. Please allow him to participate in this Regional Selection on this account.”
When they heard the words ‘Heaven’s Perception’, everyone present once again stared at Fang Xingjian in astonishment, as if they were getting to know him all over again.
The events today were filled with twists and turns, bringing shock after shock. First, it was the appearance of the Divine level Holy Orison’s chief disciple, who then mentioned that he wanted to invite Fang Xingjian to cultivate on the Sacred Mountain. However, Fang Xingjian unexpectedly rejected him and then mentioned that he wanted to register to take part in the Regional Selection, despite being late.
When everyone thought that he would be unable to participate, there was the shocking news that he had stepped into the realm of Heaven’s Perception.
The whole situation was akin to sitting on a roller coaster, abruptly moving up and down, and constantly agitating all the aristocrats’ eyeballs.
“What?!” David’s eyes were wide-open, as if they were about to pop out. He stared at Fang Xingjian, unable to understand how he could have attained Heaven’s Perception in a mere few months.
Shadow Death God Anderson and the Divine level expert’s grand disciple also looked at Fang Xingjian in surprise when they heard that.
Hoult received a peeled grape from a young lady next to him and smiled, “Oh? Great Western Region is truly filled with talents this time around. To think that there’s already two geniuses who have stepped into Heaven’s Perception.”
Wei Leng had gone through a drastic change mid-life, which had brought him great devastation. Only then did he attain Heaven’s Perception. He did not pay much heed toward all the commotion in the hall, simply sitting quietly in a corner, drowning in his own grief.
Most of the people had similar reactions – they were all in shock, hints of disbelief reflecting in their eyes.
Fang Xingjian was too young. What talent did he have to be able to attain Heaven’s Perception at such a young age even before participating in the Regional Selection? Having a splendid talent was not enough to describe this. Even Wei Leng had accumulated decades of cultivated experience and had encountered a drastic event before suddenly comprehending it.
Of course, with the prerequisite that it was true.
Therefore, when Devitt’s gaze flickered a little, someone tactfully stood out to say what Devitt had wanted to say.
It was the green-haired young aristocrat who was known as Young Master Gable, and who had followed Fang Xingjian over.
