Chapter 341 (2/2)

Lilia and Ferdinand came up to Fang Xingjian, and Lilia grabbed Fang Xingjian’s arm excitedly. Fang Xingjian felt something soft pressing against his arm, but Lilia clearly did not take any notice of that. She said excitedly,”Teacher, there’s no problem with the Rebirth Sword Technique anymore! I knew that it was fine.

“Oh, right. Lord Guardian King invited you to participate in the Martial Techniques Grading Plan? What’s that? Is it very powerful?”

“Of course, it is.” While Lilia was speaking, James, Hoppes, and the others had already walked toward the door where Fang Xingjian was. Hoppes nodded at Fang Xingjian and said,”Xingjian, thank goodness the Guardian King had helped out. If you were to have the opportunity, you must show him your thanks. Sigh, we’ve made a mistake this time. We didn’t expect that they would be so crazy as to go to this extent just to suppress the Rebirth Sword Technique.”

He then looked at Lilia and said with a smile,”I heard her calling you,’Teacher’?”

“Mmm, she’s a disciple I accepted back in Kirst.”

James nodded and said to Lilia,”Young lady, the Church’s Martial Techniques Grading Plan isn’t an ordinary plan. It’s one which will change the entire world. Within the Empire, only a few Divine level experts were invited to participate in this plan.”

James then smiled and looked at Fang Xingjian, his gaze filled with admiration and anticipation.”Xingjian, you should be the first non-Divine level expert in the Empire who has been invited. You’ve really brought great glory to our Great Western Region.”

Just then, everyone suddenly fell silent.It was because Hoult, a disciple under the wings of a Divine level expert, had walked over. He was the one who had submitted a letter from the Myriad Stars Palace’s Master Laurence. Right now, Hoult was still conducting himself with the same demeanour as when they had first met him. However, there was an additional hint of world weariness in his eyes.

Sensing everyone’s hostility, Hoult let out a bitter laugh and said,”I’m sorry, but my teacher’s views aren’t a representation of mine.” He looked at Fang Xingjian and said,”Xingjian, you’re still the rival whom I’d like to surpass and defeat the most. I’m happy that you’re fine.”

With that, he left, leaving everyone deep in thought.

Just then, a teacher suddenly shouted,”Sasa, you’re thinking of leaving just like that?”

Sword Saint Sasa had departed from the entrance very quickly, clearly not wanting to greet the others from the Regional Academy. However, now that someone had called out to him, he had no choice but to stop in his tracks.

Looking at everyone, he said calmly,”I’ve only stated the facts. Do you have any problems with that?”

James squinted, as if trying to conceal his killing intent.”Stating the facts? To think that you would dare to say something like this… Sasa, from this day onward, you can stop all your work in the Great Western Region Regional Academy until we’ve made the necessary rearrangements.”

Sasa shrugged and said,”I don’t mind. I’ve already completed the analysis of the dragon’s scale, and it’s just in time for me to get a break and study it in detail.” As he had already fallen out with them and it was impossible for him to apologize and reconcile, he decided to maintain a harsh attitude.

“What? He has already successfully deciphered the ancient artifact?”

“So, that ancient artifact is called a dragon’s scale?”

“That guy rushed to complete the analysis while Xingjian was held up by the arbitration?”

“Despicable guy.”

Sasa smiled and said,”I’m sorry, I’ll have to excuse myself. I’ll need to head back and analyze the sword intent from it.”

A teacher was so infuriated and wanted to take action but he was stopped by James.”We’ll talk when we get back.” James had already decided that he was going to give Sasa a good punishment once they returned to the Regional Academy.

They were currently in public and the Knight Association’s arbitration team was right behind them. Moreover, they were currently in a government agency. How could they possibly take action here?

Furthermore, after the shoutings from before, many people had turned to look in their direction. This made it even harder for them to take any action.

They could only watch as Sasa departed with a relaxed expression. However, after Sasa had only took a few steps, a voice flowed into his ears slowly, causing him to stiffen and stop in his tracks.

“Marrying Maiden trends toward Innocence, Innocence trends toward Fellowship, and Fellowship trends toward Great Possession. Jia turns to Bing, Bing turns to Geng, and Geng turns to Gui.”
