Fang Xingjian did not reply, but allowed his thoughts to circulate as he thought of the many star charts and star trails. Many spots of light started flashing all over his body.

From there, the first circle of light, the second circle of light, the third circle of light, the fourth circle of light, the fifth circle of light, and the sixth circle of light lit up one by one.

When the third circle of light lit up, everyone was wide-eyed and open-mouthed. When the fourth, the fifth and even the sixth circle of light lit up, the place was filled with absolute silence, as if they had all been turned into mutes.

Lilia was the first one to react. She smiled, turned to the golden-haired, young aristocrat lady who appeared as if she had been turned into stone, and asked, “Haha, which level did Hoult reached again? I think it was the fifth?”

That young lady’s face immediately turned black, but this time around, there was nothing she could say to rebut. She could only grit her teeth, feeling very stuffy.

To think that Fang Xingjian was able to reach the seventh level from the Pantheon Monument. This news was simply too unbelievable and too astonishing.

If someone had told this to Governor Devitt, he would definitely have laughed, and would neither have taken it seriously nor have believed it.

However, the facts were placed right before him and he was forced to believe it. He even saw that the old man who had been guarding the monument was following behind Fang Xingjian.

He asked in astonishment, “Why have you come out as well?”

The old man broke into a grin, revealing his incomplete set of yellowed teeth, and said, “I’m not going to guard the Pantheon Monument anymore. You can look for someone else.” He turned and looked at Fang Xingjian, saying in enthusiasm, “I have an affinity with this young lad. I want to have a good chat with him.”

Devitt did not continue to speak to the old man, but turned to look at Fang Xingjian excitedly and asked, “Xingjian, you solved all the mysteries behind the Pantheon Monument?” Looking at the six circles of light on Fang Xingjian’s back, he still did not dare to believe it.

The old man grinned and said, “Little De, even you find it hard to believe, right? But it’s the truth, this lad solved the final level of the Pantheon Monument’s mysteries, the seventh level. Even the Melancholic Monarch himself appeared.”

“What?!”

Instantly, all four examiners dashed up, looking at Fang Xingjian as if they were looking at a national treasure, their gazes so scorchingly hot that it seemed as if they would be able to burn through his body.

Devitt grabbed Fang Xingjian and asked, “Xingjian, have you really solved all the mysteries behind the Pantheon Monument? You’ve reached the seventh level?

“Then you must have received the main legacy that was left behind by the Melancholic Monarch! What is it? Killing technique? Nurturing technique? Waves? Or is it a mental cultivation method?”

Although Devitt was slightly agitated, he regained his composure after finishing his words.

In fact, if it were something else, even if he was given a Divine Remains Equipment, he would not be this excited.

However, the Melancholic Monarch’s main legacy… How astonishing was this? Even amongst the Divine level experts from two hundred years ago, the Melancholic Monarch’s powers had always been at the top.

Now, Devitt was looking at Fang Xingjian like he was a treasure. However, after asking his questions, he had once again regained his composure. He looked at Fang Xingjian and said, “Xingjian, you don’t have to be in a rush to say it. We have regulations in both the academy and in the Regional Selection that the martial arts cultivated by the Knights can all be kept a secret. It’s not compulsory for you to share everything with us. The same goes for what you have comprehended from the Pantheon Monument.

“However, if you’re willing to reveal, we won’t be taking it for free either. Any Knight who is willing to announce the results of their comprehension from the Pantheon Monument will all receive great compensation.

“You don’t have to be in a hurry to make the decision. After all, you’ll still be remaining in the academy in the end. You can take your time to consider this.”

What Devitt was thinking of was that after Fang Xingjian had become a Conferred Knight, he would remain in his Regional Academy to continue his studies. Usually, Knights in Regional Academies would mostly choose to remain at their academy to continue their cultivation until they had met a bottleneck.
