Chapter 270 (2/2)

“Anyway, it’s already been too long. I’ve submitted a request to the teachers to get permission to visit Fang Xingjian. I can stay in the area with one hundred times density for half an hour. Come along with me.

“This time, we must get this settled.”

Just as the two of them were exchanging conversation, two other people came over at a rapid speed along the path like a strong gale. An elderly man was grabbing onto an equally wild looking man who was like a lion, appearing before Zhou Xingwen and Wang Tiangang.

They were the slovenly dressed Hoppes and Leon whom he had dragged over with him.

Hoppes came to an abrupt stop when he saw Wang Tiangang. As he did so, the strong gale, falling leaves, and dust and sand which were flying everywhere came to a stop. The scene had a mysterious feeling to it.

When Wang Tiangang saw Hoppes, he immediately bowed and said, “Master Hoppes, why have you come to the Sacred Land?” His impression of Master Hoppes was a person who was obsessed with sword arts and would tend to not cultivate in the Sacred Land. He would instead spend his time in the research rooms outside, endlessly researching newer and more powerful sword arts.

It was only when he heard Wang Tiangang’s words, that Hoppes took a long look at him and said, “Oh, Wang Tiangang?” He then immediately asked, “Did you see Fang Xingjian coming out?”

“Fang Xingjian?” Wang Tiangang frowned and said, “I didn’t see him. You have something to talk to him about?” Suddenly, a bad feeling rose in his heart.

“Didn’t he create a set of sword technique?” Hoppes said, “I’ve a lot of questions to ask him about this sword technique. It’s good that you haven’t seen him, it’s good that you haven’t seen him.”

There was only one path which served both as the entrance and exit to the Sacred Land. Since Wang Tiangang did not meet Fang Xingjian, it meant that the latter was still inside.

With that, Hoppes took another step, creating a storm again. The strong gale, fallen leaves, as well as the sand and dust once again followed behind him, leaving behind the baffled Wang Tiangang.

Wang Tiangang frowned and said, “Master Hoppes is looking for Fang Xingjian?”

Zhou Xingwen then looked toward the direction leading to the deeper areas of the Sacred Land, saying, “Let’s follow them.”

As a master in the academy, Hoppes had great authority, and thus did not come across any obstacles even though he had Leon with him. In the blink of an eye, they had already appeared before Fang Xingjian’s cultivation house.

At that moment, Fang Xingjian had just completed his practice for the Luminous Heaven Soaring Slash, reaching level 40 and gaining the ability to change the frequency of sword light, unleashing lights of various colors, or even making them invisible to the eye.

And although he did not put much focus into practicing the Nine-Headed Dragon Sword Technique, he had used this Training technique to temper his potential daily after he had completed his job transition. After a few days, he had also reached level 40 for this sword technique, once again increasing the efficiency at which he was tempering his attributes, reducing the practice time required.

Fang Xingjian was holding on to a pen and paper, writing out the last page to the outline of his book. He was planning to send it out tomorrow and get Ferdinand to find someone to continue work on it before publishing and selling it for a profit.

However, just then, a voice rang out. “Is Fang Xingjian around? I’m Hoppes. I’d like to discuss something about the registration of your newly created sword technique.”

Hearing the name Hoppes, the image of the sloven old man who seemed to have no care for worldly possessions and focused only on sword arts once again appeared in his mind.

He opened the door and saw Hoppes standing there, holding onto Leon. When Hoppes saw Fang Xingjian coming out, he immediately grab Fang Xingjian on the shoulder and asked, “The Rebirth Sword Technique… This sword technique is something you created?”

“That’s right.” Fang Xingjian lifted his head and saw that Wang Tiangang and Zhou Xingwen were also heading over from the distance. The impact of the Sacred Land for Conferred Knights was really not that great and they were able to easily follow behind Hoppes.

Hoppes then stared at Fang Xingjian and asked, “How’s the effect of this set of sword technique? How much potential can one get at level 10?”
