The next moment, within ten meters of Fang Xingjian, formless sharp auras started accumulating. Streams of Ether Sword Ripples appeared behind him), making him look like a Thousand-hand Guan Yin, or like a peacock with its feathers spread out.
It was something ordinary people could not see. Only Fang Xingjian or the Conferred Knights who had Heaven’s Perception could perceive it.
The four examiners clearly sensed the existence of the Ether Sword Ripples, and astonishment filled their eyes.
Especially when, in the next moment, the Ether Sword Ripples on the left side behind Fang Xingjian turned scorching hot, while those on the right side turned extremely cold. This was the new special effect he had gained after going through skill synthesis, allowing the Ether Sword Ripples to change their frequencies and either heat up or cool down.
Streams after streams… A total of four hundred streams of Ether Sword Ripples appeared behind Fang Xingjian, like many shapeless sharp swords. Two hundred of them were heated to over five hundred degrees, while the other two hundred had been cooled down to minus thirty degrees.
With Fang Xingjian’s current stamina, he could only unleash five hundred and fifty streams of Ether Sword Ripples. He had now unleashed over 80% of his power in an instant.
Governor Devitt’s eyes were filled with astonishment. ‘What kind of attack is this? Did Windstorm Sword Heroes have such a skill? This skill is… too terrifying… It has far surpassed the level of people in the first transition.
‘Hoult relies on the advantage of his Divine Weapon, but to think that Fang Xingjian is relying on his own powers!’
Effulgence Weapon, Divine Weapon, Unparalleled Sword Intent – Apex, and then four hundred streams of Ether Sword Ripples. Fang Xingjian was slowly revealing his abilities, his Ether Sword Ripples. Each was 2.5 times his strength, and were ten times faster than supersonic speed.
Almost at the same time when Fang Xingjian was doing all these, Governor Devitt shook the air furiously with a shout, “Everyone, be careful! Those below Knight-level… No… Those below Conferred-Knight-level all retreat at least a hundred meters away!”
Seeing how everyone was still in a daze, Devitt had not choice but to bellow again, “Quick!”
The spectators from the first row started to retreat. Although the other examinees could not sense the Ether Sword Ripples, nor did they understand what was going on, they also retreated.
Halfway through, Fang Xingjian suddenly moved.
Boundaries Negation!
His Silver Fox Styx was like a lightning cutting across the sky at an extremely fast speed. In the liquid-like air, his clothes were trembling frantically, and his body seemed to have expanded. After a series of sparks blew from the friction with the air, the longsword in Fang Xingjian’s hand created one hundred and eighty-eight sword shadows in an instant.
With a low chi sound, as if a scorching metal rod had been pierced into a human body, the Silver Fox Styx in Fang Xingjian’s hand, accompanied by a layer of fog-like shine, pierced half a meter into the metal pillar.
No one could see when Fang Xingjian had attacked with his sword. They could only witness the final result. When they saw that the longsword had entered half a meter into the metal pillar, they were all astonished. Other than Hoult and Anderson, this was the best result so far.
However, it seemed like this was the limit?
Everyone felt that although the damaging prowess was not bad, there did not seem to be a need for the Governor to shout the previous warning.
Everyone’s thoughts were churning very quickly. But a thousandth second after they had started, Fang Xingjian’s one hundred and eighty-eight swords tapped on the metal pillar and the four hundred streams of Ether Sword Ripples displayed their true prowess.
The one hundred and eighty-eight swords pierced into the metal pillar’s weaknesses, after which Fang Xingjian followed through with one final sword attack to create a greatly resonant explosion from the inside of the pillar.
The four hundred streams of Ether Sword Ripples, enhanced by his level 5 mental cultivation method, were all at 2.5 times that of his strength. At that moment, it was as if Fang Xingjian had attacked with one thousand times’ worth of his damaging prowess.
How terrifying was this? Basically, Fang Xingjian had first weakened the metal pillar with one hundred and eighty-eight swords, after which he made an implosion to create resonance within it, and then layered one thousand slashes with both cold and hot attributes on the metal pillar. The pillar had started to expand and contract, ending up damaged.
What a terrifying condensation of his force! What a terrifying impact of energy!
It was as if he had smashed through the atmosphere and broken through the earth.
