Chapter 287 (2/2)

Ada broke out into the a mysterious smile and said, “His Majesty has five princes. The First and the Second Princes aren’t the only ones.

“The First Prince is truly outstanding, but when it boils down to it, it’s only because he has received the most resources which comes with the status of being the eldest son.

“The Second Prince is very influential, and there are many people supporting his revolution. But it’s only because he was born earlier.

“Hmph, what you people do not know is that amongst the five princes, the one who’s truly amazing is the Fifth Prince. His talent is unrivalled.

“In terms of his talent in bare-fisted arts, there has been no one in history who was stronger, and there will not be any in the future who will be able to surpass him. In time, he will definitely become the strongest person in the world.”

Fang Xingjian did not care about talent. Moreover, no matter how talented a person was, the person’s talent would not surpass his. So, he merely asked, “You’re saying that if I were to hand you the Heavenly Abyss Annihilation Armor, you’ll be able to convince the Fifth Prince to protect me?”

“Of course not. If you wish to convince the Fifth Prince, you must take the initiative to offer up the Heavenly Abyss Annihilation Armor.” As if she had sensed Fang Xingjian’s lack of interest, Ada let out a cold laugh and said, “Fang Xingjian, I know that geniuses like you are all proud and arrogant creatures. You think that you’ll be able to rely on your miserable talent to push your way through and attain the Divine level, and stand at the very top of the world.

“But if you’ve met the Fifth Prince before, you’ll be able to understand that your miserable talent, when put before his, is as different as a fire torch is from the sun. You’ll probably never be able to imagine how talented he is.

“It’s just like how the cicadas in the summer will never be able to image what the icy snow is like.”

Ada’s tone was slightly arrogant and she said, brimming with confidence, “I can introduce you to the Fifth Prince. When you’ve met him, you’ll naturally be willing to lend me the Heavenly Abyss Annihilation Armor.”

Fang Xingjian was neither interested in crazy fans like her, nor did he care about the Fifth Prince whom she was holding in high esteem. He merely turned to read the manual for the Aquatic Sword Formation.

Since he had broken through two stages consecutively, he decided to take this seriously and completely break through all the stages in the Killing Techniques Palace within a day.

Therefore, as Fang Xingjian continued to read the Aquatic Sword Formation, he once again entered a state of full concentration.

Ada let out a cold laugh, thinking of the words ‘not knowing what’s good for you’, and continued to guide the students under her.

Rota was slightly puzzled and asked, “The Fifth Prince? Why is it I remember that since he was young, the Fifth Prince has never liked fighting and killing and was always learning to draw and write. Amongst the five princes, isn’t he the only one who didn’t take up martial arts?”

One of the students next to her nodded and said, “It was like that in the past. However, I heard that the Fifth Prince came across an assassin a few years ago. Taking a lesson from the painful experience, he decided to put in great effort into picking up martial arts. I don’t know if it’s true or not.”

On the side, Fang Xingjian had already completely sunk into the reading of the Aquatic Sword Formation.

This was another extremely interesting sword technique. Through exchanging energies with ether particles, one could condense the vapour in the air, turning them into Aquatic Sword Qis, and then position the Aquatic Sword Qis in a large expanse of space to form the Aquatic Sword Formation. One would then be able to condense the water vapor in a large area and then control the sword formation through the Aquatic Sword Qis, producing a tremendous destructive prowess and defense.

The most amazing part of the Aquatic Sword Qis was that as long as one was able to form sufficient Aquatic Sword Qis, the amount of water vapor one could condense and control would be limitless.

Of course, while the sword formation was limitless, humans faced limits. Despite this, it was said that back then, the Great Western Region’s second generation Headmaster had once performed the Aquatic Sword Formation in the Northern Ice Region, condensing the water vapor and turning the area within a hundred li into a large lake.
