Fang Xingjian was not interested in denying it and admitted directly, “That’s right. I’m wearing the Heavenly Abyss Annihilation Armor right now. Why? Do you want me to take it off when I challenge you later?”

Ada eyes lit up, and she asked curiously, “Oh? Such an important armor, a level 29 Superior Divine Armor… You’re willing to put it aside and fight against me?”

“Of course, I’m not willing,” Fang Xingjian said outright. “I’m not an idiot who would cast my treasure aside while I battle against someone. If I lose the armor, people would only say that I’m foolish. No one would compensate me with another one.”

“Hmph, at least you’re clear about that.” A hint of light seemed to flashed in Ada’s eyes, as if many thoughts were going through her mind. In the end, she could not help but say, “Fang Xingjian, your armor is really useful to me. Are you willing to lend it to me?”

Ada was currently at level 24 and her ether synchronization rate had already reached 59%. As she neared an ether synchronization rate of 60%, she was also trying to attain level 25.

Every 10% of the ether synchronization rate was a barrier, and each breakthrough would be a tough battle to fight. This was why it was called the Ten Heavenly Barriers. It required the Conferred Knights to have extremely strong willpower and strong minds.

Additionally, the Heavenly Abyss Annihilation Armor contained the consciousness left behind by the level 29 expert, Domirov. If Ada could use this residual consciousness to train up her willpower and spirit, she would be able to increase her chances of attaining a breakthrough.

However, how could an important treasure like the Heavenly Abyss Annihilation Armor be loaned out to others so easily? If the borrower was not willing to return it in the end, Fang Xingjian would not be able to do anything about it.

Therefore, he shook his head and said, “It’s such a rare treasure, so how can I lend it out easily? Moreover, we’re not that close with each other. It’s just impossible for me to lend the Heavenly Abyss Annihilation Armor to you.”

“Don’t be in a rush to reject me.” Ada tried to persuade him, “I’m only going to use the Heavenly Abyss Annihilation Armor to train up my martial will in order to prepare myself for the purpose of breaking through to a 60% ether synchronization rate. I’ll definitely return it to you after.

“And don’t you want to know what I’m going to offer in exchange for you lending me the Heavenly Abyss Annihilation Armor?”

Fang Xingjian was truly curious about this, so he continued to listen attentively.

Ada said, “Your biggest crisis right now should be coming from the First Prince, right? Based on what I know, in order to complete the mastery of the thirty-six Hell’s Maps and replicate the scene which has not appeared for hundreds of years, the First Prince has already staked everything he has on this. So, he no longer has any qualms.

“Moreover, his talent is really something that’s hard to come by even through the generations of royalty. He has also obtained a set of Divine level remains from the Church of Universal Truth, allowing him to absorb the information of a Divine level expert at every single moment. It can be said that within a year, he will be able to attain the Divine level.

“And once he attains the Divine level, even the Second Prince will not be able to protect you. Furthermore, in order to cultivate the thirty-six Hell’s Maps, the First Prince will definitely pull you in.

“You may not really understand about the cultivation of the Hell’s Maps yet. Let me tell you, once you sign on the Devil’s Note, you won’t be able to decide on your life or death. Each thought and action you have will be controlled by the First Prince, and you’ll completely become his puppet. You’ll be living a life that’s worse than death.

“Therefore, the reason you’re in such a hurry to cultivate and show off your talent is because you hope that you’ll be able to go against the First Prince, right?”

Ada had pointed out the facts clearly. To her, Fang Xingjian’s greatest problem now was the First Prince. She believed that Fang Xingjian was only cultivating so furiously because he was facing the crushing pressure from the First Prince, to the extent that he was doing something like breaking through two stages of the Killing Techniques Palace within a day.

Fang Xingjian gave no answer but merely said, “Even the Second Prince isn’t able to go against the First Prince, but you have a way to?”
