Chapter 238: Top Eight
Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations
As Fang Xingjian’s match ended, the top eight of the arena battle were finally decided.
They were respectively:
1. Fang Xingjian
2. Allen
3. Anderson
4. Caesar
5. Wei Leng
6. Schreyer
7. Rota
8. Hoult
Numbers one to four would have their matches in the first segment while numbers five to eight would have theirs in the second segment. They would be split into pairs to have their matches before the last two fought for the championship title.
For example, numbers one and two would have their match and the victor would fight against the victor that emerged between numbers three and number four. The one who won would then be the victor for the first segment and pitted against the second segment’s victor to decide who would be the final champion.
Since there was a need to fix up the area, the examinees could only take a break now. Because Fang Xingjian’s Terra Ingurgitation could only be performed once every hour, he did not mind taking a break.
Rota walked up to him and shook her head, “My opponent is Hoult. Seems like I’ll only be able to compete for fifth, sixth, seventh, or eighth position.”
She knew her worth and knew that it was impossible for her to be a match for Hoult.
Fang Xingjian nodded but did not say anything. He continued to keep his eyes closed as he cultivated his skills. Finally, after four days of ceaselessly cultivating his skills, his Ether Divine Art had finally reached level 4 while his High Frequency Silver Fox was now able to tremor 2000 times per second.
Rota let out a sigh. She felt helpless toward this cultivating maniac. To think that he was still cultivating his martial techniques during the breaks in the arena battle. He was really not willing to waste even a single second.
Seeing how Fang Xingjian was, Rota could not help but asked again, “Fang Xingjian, do you have something bothering you? Why do I feel that you always seem to have a whip behind you, pushing you to grab every bit of time you have for your cultivation? Won’t the stress be too heavy? Everyone has their own limits. With the way you’re pushing and forcing yourself, it’ll be easy for you bring things to the extreme.”
Rota had seen many Knights who had pushed themselves too far and ended up going crazy or dying.
She was not wrong. Everyone had their limits. For example, when a Knight cultivated, the initial plan would be to spend all of the time not eating or sleeping on cultivation. This seemed to be a perfect scenario, but out of a hundred Knights, there might not even be one who would be able to hang on.
It was more realistic to arrange time to relax or to find activities to let loose. It was very childish to believe that you would be able to exceed the limits and have no need to relax, being able to move like a spinning top at all times.
However, this was what Fang Xingjian was doing, and he was holding on. Rota felt that he was like a stretched out elastic and may break anytime. To be honest, she felt that Fang Xingjian’s condition was very dangerous.
Although she had also devoted hard work into her training, she had always found time everyday or every week to relieve her stress.
However, hearing Rota’s words, Fang Xingjian miraculously spoke.
He gave it some thought before replying, “There’s no limits to martial arts. Putting aside those below the Divine level, even after reaching the Divine level, each Divine level expert would also be training in seclusion, seeking the endless mysteries.
