Two days later, Fang Xingjian smiled as he looked at the dragon’s scale. He could sense an extremely sharp and majestic aura moving around in his body, releasing an extremely curious emotion.

After trying to tempt it for another day, Fang Xingjian handed out half of the Rebirth Sword Technique before he finally got the Heaven’s Volition Sword Intent to circulate and move around in his body.

Although the Heaven’s Volition Sword Intent was still unwilling to be subdued, this would still count as huge progress.

Fang Xingjian could sense that deep within the Heaven’s Volition Sword Intent there was an extremely strong greedy devouring emotion. He was convinced that he just needed to constantly lure the Heaven’s Volition Sword Intent with sword techniques in order to successfully subdue it, and finally pick up this set of Heaven’s Volition Sword Technique.

Just then, the door was pushed open and the Heaven’s Volition Sword Intent acted as if it had gotten a fright, slowly shrinking back. However, this time around, Fang Xingjian could sense that it could not bear to part with the sword techniques in his body. It had not left as readily as it had the first time.

Fang Xingjian smiled and let the Heaven’s Volition Sword Intent leave. He turned to see Sword Saint Sasa walking in.

The Sword Saint continued to greet him as usual, “How is it, Xingjian? Is everything going well? We’ve successfully deciphered 50% of the inscriptions. Hehe, everyone is showing great enthusiasm.”

Fang Xingjian shook his head and said without caring for Sasa’s words, “Is that so? You guys might find that you’ve wasted your time. In half a month at most, I’ll be able to complete this set of sword technique.”

Sasa’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Fang Xingjian coldly.

Seeing how confident Fang Xingjian was, Sasa felt anxious. He was bent on getting his hands on the dragon’s scale, so how could he possibly tolerate Fang Xingjian beating him to it?

‘I must hurry. I must definitely not let the secret of the dragon’s scale land in someone else’s hands.

‘I must stop Fang Xingjian from probing any deeper.’

The other specialists who had been working with Sasa in deciphering the ancient characters walked in, yawning. Most of them were ordinary Knights, while some of them were ordinary people. The consecutive long nights were taking a toll on their bodies. It was impossible for them to feel as refreshed as Sasa, without a trace of fatigue.

Sasa looked at the few of them and asked, “Where are Xelloss and Benjamin? Why aren’t they here?”

“They’ve fallen sick. We’ve been working through the night for consecutive days. They are both over 60 years old and their bodies can’t keep up.”

“They’ll have to come even if they can’t keep up,” Sasa coldly replied. “I’ll double the salary for this month. All of you can forget about getting any rest. Within half a month… no… within a week, we’ll need to complete deciphering all these ancient characters.”

Immediately, agonized cries rang out.

One of the specialists said, “Working so many consecutive nights might not be a problem for a Conferred Knight like yourself, but there’s no way that we would be able to keep it up like this. It would even affect our efficiency.

“Moreover, you broke it into parts, making it impossible for us to analyze it in relation to the other sections in front and in the back that we’re working on. As a result, our progress is slower. You should let us have the whole ensemble.”

Sasa forcibly nodded. With very limited time and based on their current analysis, he was basically sure that the secret to the dragon’s scale was hidden in the sword intent within. One could not find out the secret merely from reading the inscriptions.

Therefore, he agreed, “Then we’ll combine all the paragraphs for analysis. I need the results to be out within three days.”
