In the Sacred Land with fifty times ether particles density.

Zhou Xingwen stood there, looking toward the deeper parts of the Sacred Land. Various schemes flashed in his eyes, as if he was waiting for someone.

However, after waiting for a short while, a silhouette gradually approached where he was. It was a guy with black hair and eyes, wearing the Knight attire and exuding a strong sense of inhibition and elegance.

He was the person ranked ninth in the academy, the level 26 Conferred Knight, Wang Tiangang.

Right now, Wang Tiangang was filled with confidence and appeared extremely capable.

As one of the top ten in the Regional Academy at the age of thirty-five, he was considered a young talent with a bright future. Since he would have at least twenty to thirty years to try to work for Divine level, his expression was that of confidence.

Looking at Zhou Xingwen, he spoke calmly, “It’s been half a month. Haven’t you settled it yet?”

Zhou Xingwen smiled bitterly and said, “Brother Tiangang, that Fang Xingjian is really too tight-lipped. It’s really hard to negotiate the price with him. Moreover, he has only come out twice after so many days and is a cultivation freak. It’s not easy to even get a chance to speak with him.”

Wang Tiangang frowned. As the person ranked ninth in the academy, he was definitely a person of great confidence, but how could he not wish to challenge the eight people before him?

However, before he could challenge people, he would first need to have enough power. Especially now that there was only one more year until next year’s National Selection, everyone was furiously bringing out their fullest potential, hoping to stand out amongst the competition. What Wang Tiangang needed was to have more cards in his hands.

For example, a cultivation area with one hundred times ether particles density. With such an advantage, he believed that he would be able to enter the top five and might even be able to shake the three monsters at the very top.

However, Fang Xingjian was now asking for the price of one million gold. To Wang Tiangang, this was an outrageous amount and it was impossible for him to obtain and pay such a huge sum of money.

As for the other fifteen people in the Sacred Land with a hundred times density, all of them were of great seniority and came from influential backgrounds. Other than those ranked in the top eight of the academy, the remaining seven people were the great masters of the academy, and none of them were people Wang Tiangang could replace.

He could only try his luck with a new student like Fang Xingjian, but he could not use force either.

Hearing Zhou Xingwen’s words, Wang Tiangang frowned and said, “After he came out, what did he do?”

Zhou Xingwen replied, “The first time was to look for a few of his friends. As for the second time, it was to register his sword technique.”

Wang Tiangang was astonished, “Register sword technique? He has created a Killing technique?” No matter the method used, creating one’s own sword technique was not an easy feat. It required a high level of mastery of sword arts, and although Wang Tiangang had thought of creating his own sword technique before, he had not succeeded.

However, Zhou Xingwen shook his head and said, “It’s a Nurturing sword technique.”

Wang Tiangang nodded. So it was a set of Nurturing sword technique. He could easily create a few sets of Nurturing sword techniques at any time. After all, they were martial techniques that train and nurture the physical body, and it was a simple feat for a Conferred Knight like him to be able to come out with several methods to train the body.

“Nurturing sword technique? Then it’s nothing much.” Wang Tiangang said. “If it’s really impossible, I’ll find a way to lure him out in a few days time. Wait…you said that he had gone to register the Nurturing sword technique he created? He likes fame?”

“Maybe.” Zhou Xingwen had also thought about this before. “However, I’ve seen the sword technique he created. It’s just piecing in jumbled parts from everywhere and was not anything much. It’s quite hard to gain fame from it.”
