Level 20 Superior Remains Divine Weapon – Styx. Just its material quality was something that ordinary Empire’s Divine Weapons and Inferior Remains Divine Weapons would never be able to slash through.

Even Fang Xingjian himself could not deal any damage to it, at least, not by ordinary means. As for whether he could slash through it with a few hundreds streams of Ether Sword Ripples, he had not tried it, since he was no idiot.

Other than its unrivalled toughness and sharpness, Governor Devitt had also engraved the Styx with nine hundred and ninety-nine wind imprints. This was also something Fang Xingjian had specifically requested.

The Styx was 1.3 meters long, three fingers wide, and covered with densely packed prints, which looked like claw marks left behind by countless ghosts and monsters. With a light swing, it brought a sound resembling ten thousand shrieking ghosts. Of course, the purpose of his wind prints design was not to have a sound attack, like the Demoness’ Howl; it was to amplify sword Qis.

If Fang Xingjian were to use this Styx to perform the Luminous Heaven Soaring Slash, controlling the atmosphere and sword Qis, he would be able to keep the sword Qis condensed up to a distance of one-hundred-and-eighty-meters away from him. The attack and damage prowess would also be greatly amplified, since any casual swing would release slashing sword Qis at supersonic speed.

Now, Fang Xingjian had two longswords attached as his waist – the Demoness’ Howl and the Styx. He also had the Silver Dragon on his thigh.

Lilia, waiting by the inn’s entrance, immediately ran up to Fang Xingjian when she saw him coming out.

“Teacher, you’ll definitely be the Regional Champion this time!” She clenched her small fists and said with excitement, “We’ll be cheering for you from the stands.”

Then all of them headed toward the competition grounds of the Regional Selection, the Regional Royal Academy of the Great Western Region, and the sacred grounds of countless Knights in the Great Western Region.

When they arrived at the academy’s entrance, its surroundings were already crowded, many examinees, family members, teachers, and students, waiting either to participate in the Regional Selection, or just to spectate. When Fang Xingjian saw this, he felt as if he was looking at the scene of a college entrance examination on Earth. No, it had an even higher importance.

However, although people were flooding the area, when Fang Xingjian arrived and people recognized him, they all unconsciously stepped aside, countless gazes watching him.

Many of them wanted to walk over and greet Fang Xingjian, but they were all politely stopped by Ferdinand and the others.

They had to be kidding. What was most important to Fang Xingjian right now was the Regional Selection. How could they allow these people to disturb him?

The group gradually left the crowd and headed for the academy’s entrance.

Very quickly, they met the gloomy-looking David. His head was wrapped in white cloth, as if he was trying to hide his face and to avoid being recognized.

Behind him there were two unordinary Knights exuding unfathomable auras.

When he saw Fang Xingjian, David glared at him and said, “Fang Xingjian, I’ll make this Regional Selection something you’ll remember for life. What you did previously will be the biggest regret in your life.”

His tone was filled with exceptional hatred, jealousy and killing intent.

It was because since young he had never suffered humiliation. Now, all the aristocrats in Great Western City were treating him like a laughingstock. If he did not kill Fang Xingjian, he would never be able to walk with his head high for the rest of his life.

Therefore, with the help of his father, he had made all the required preparations. He was bent on targeting Fang Xingjian in this Regional Selection. Even if he did not kill him, he wanted to get him eliminated, and to ensure that he would be left unable to continue participating.

However, Fang Xingjian paid him no attention. Ferdinand went to stand before David and laughed loudly, “Lad, who are you? Why are you just blabbing about, saying whatever you want?”
