Seeing Fang Xingjian ridiculing David, many people laughed. However, regardless of whether they were laughing or not, their gazes were filled with deep astonishment as they looked at Fang Xingjian.

Heaven’s Perception, and the ability to slash through David’s Atmospheric Armor with Effulgence Weapon at first transition level? Countless people were curiously guessing what special effects Fang Xingjian’s Effulgence Weapon had. To think that it could slash through the Atmospheric Guard which was well-known for its defence!

Green-haired Gable was also staring with eyes wide-open and mouth agape at what Fang Xingjian had done. When he saw Fang Xingjian walking toward him, he unconsciously took a few steps back before he gulped and said, “You’re good!” He then put up his thumb up for Fang Xingjian, saying, “I’ve got to hand it to you for actually slashing through David’s Atmospheric Armor.”

David was an aristocrat genius who had quite a good reputation in Great Western City, someone a profligate son like Gable utterly detested. However, David’s ability was astonishing, and he also had a strong background. Moreover, Gable knew well how powerful David’s Atmospheric Armor actually was.

He was even thinking that if the Atmospheric Armor’s defence was even stronger than a level 9 Empire’s Divine Weapon, with Fang Xingjian being able to slash through it, would it not mean that he would be able to slash though a level 9 Empire’s Divine Weapon as if he were chopping up a melon or some kind of vegetable?

Thinking these, his gaze when looking at Fang Xingjian seemed to be filled with more favorable thoughts.

The aristocrats who had been explaining to their companions how powerful the Atmospheric Armor was, and who had confidently said that it would be impossible for Fang Xingjian to slash through it, now all felt embarrassed, not daring to face their partners’ doubtful gazes.

However, Devitt smiled. Another genius had risen under his rule, so how could he not feel happy? He nodded to Fang Xingjian and said, “Excellent, excellent, excellent. When I saw you last time, I knew that you were a person of great talent. I felt that your loss of sight was a pity, but to think that until now when we’ve met again not only did you not waste your life away, but you’ve actually put in more effort and progressed even more. You’ve even attained Heaven’s Perception earlier than other people!

“Since you’ve already attained Heaven’s Perception, then you’ll definitely have no problems stepping into the second transition. I’ll make an exception for your registration even though you were late. His Majesty will not blame me for this. On the other hand, if I were to insist against it, I’ll just be seen as stubborn and obstinate.” He gave it some thought, then said, “Valen.”

Fatty Valen bowed, grinning, and waiting for Governor Devitt’s instructions.

“Help Fang Xingjian settle the issue with the registration. Just tell them that it’s under my command.”

“Yes.” Valen smiled and nodded, then winked at Fang Xingjian.

Lilia suddenly pounced on Fang Xingjian and hugged from the back. She happily said, “Teacher, I knew you were the best! You’re the strongest! I knew it!”

From afar, Kirst’s City Lord saw everything that had happened in the hall and sighed. He had not expected that Fang Xingjian would not only overcome the challenge of his loss of sight, but actually return in even greater glory, having attained Heaven’s Perception and a Divine level expert’s admiration.

Next to Kirst’s City Lord, a slightly balding middle-aged man asked, “Is this how you teach your daughter?”

Kirst’s City Lord smiled. The person next to him was Mongul City’s City Lord, David’s father. Having seen his son going through such humiliation, he was clearly unhappy.

This Mongul City’s City Lord had started from the bottom, with nothing to his name. After becoming a Knight, he had joined the army, fighting his way up to success. After being discharged from the army, he was recommended for enrolment in the Mongul Academy. From there on, he managed to pass through the Regional Selection and became a Conferred Knight.

After many years, he had not only become a City Lord, but had also strengthened Mongul City, building it akin to a sturdy metal bucket. Even more impressive were his scheming abilities and his management skills. Twenty years ago, he had married the daughter of an aristocrat from the Imperial Capital, and from then on he had received the support of a great aristocratic clan in the Imperial Capital.

Just as Kirst’s City Lord was about to give an explanation, he saw Lilia’s pure and innocent smile. He sighed in his heart. How long had it been since he had last seen Lilia so happy?

He sighed and thought to himself, ‘When a girl is of age, they’ll be married off. Wife, our Lilia has unknowingly grown up.’

A slight smiled appeared on the corner of his lips as he replied, “What’s there to say when David’s skill cannot match up to others? Why, do you also want to have a match with me?”
