Chapter 463: Change

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma TranslationsAlong a small secluded alley in the eastern district of the Great Western City, Mingyue Sha, a lady who belonged to the Sand Country’s secret corps, was waiting there.

In her mind, she was still thinking about her mission this time around.

‘Fang Xingjian…’

This time around, she had snuck into the Great Western Region with only a single purpose—to collect information on Fang Xingjian. The priority of this mission was already rated higher than getting the Heavenly Abyss Annihilation Armor.

This was because the Sand Country’s upper echelon had already taken notice of Fang Xingjian’s potential, and his Rebirth Sword Technique was highly valued by the Sand Country. The Sand Country’s upper echelon already viewed Fang Xingjian as an extremely great threat. Additionally, they felt that although he might not be that strong now, his future potential was far too great. He was an existence which needed to be eliminated earlier.

Of course, if they could kidnap him or incite defection, that would be even better.

This was also Mingyue Sha’s goal this time. She had come earlier to gather information for those who would be coming later.

As such, she was waiting here so that she could gather some information concerning Fang Xingjian.

Just then, a black-clothed man entered the small valley. Mingyue Sha frowned and said, “You’re late.”

The black-clothed man shook his head. “We won’t be doing business with you anymore.”

“You’re not going to do it anymore?” Mingyue Sha said, infuriated, “Are you guys trying to go back on your words?”

“Hmph. It isn’t because we want to go back on our words, but Fang Xingjian has already entered our blacklist. We’ll no longer be peddling secret information concerning him.”

Mingyue Sha was taken aback and asked, “Why?”

From her understanding, only Divine level experts and top notch Demigods would receive such treatment.

“On the account that you’ve been our customer for so many years…” The black-clothed man said calmly, “I’ll provide you with a free piece of news on my own account. One day ago, Fang Xingjian was said to have single-handedly fought off The School of Sword Arts’ Supreme Chief, the Darkness Demon Lord, and the previous Governor of the Beize Continent. Moreover, the three of them were said to have joined forces. Currently, most people think that in the Empire, aside from the First Prince, Fang Xingijan is the genius expert who has the highest likelihood of attaining the Divine level in the recent years.

“If I were you, I would put Fang Xingjian on my list of those whom I’ll never want to make a enemy of.”

The team leader of the Sand Country’s secret corps went into a daze as she heard this string of information. It seemed that she could not believe what she had just heard.

…

In the Great Western Region’s Regional Academy, Hoult walked on the road excitedly. Along the way, there would occasionally be people greeting or attempting to approach him.

Hoult was a disciple under the teachings of a Divine level expert, and he was ranked second in the Regional Selection after losing to Fang Xingjian. Over the past few months, aside from having an intimate relationship with the Regional Chief’s daughter, he had also been working hard on his cultivation.

He had initially thought of giving up after knowing about Fang Xingjian’s talent. However, the sponsorship he received from the Myriad Star Palace a short while ago had lit up new hope in him.

However, Hoult was unaware that this was the Myriad Star Palace’s preparation for the seventh onslaught. They had provided additional financial support to majority of the sect members who had potential, hoping that these people could raise their abilities in the shortest time possible.

He merely thought that he was being regarded more highly by the sect.

Therefore, during this period of time, the amount of hard work he devoted into his cultivation was unprecedented, even when compared to all the effort he had put in for the past 20 over years. While doing all this, Hoult’s only target was to catch up to and defeat Fang Xingjian.

Yesterday, he had finally successfully attained level 23. For Hoult to reach this stage within a mere seven months, he could be considered a genius amongst geniuses. Furthermore, he had also truly mastered the Myriad Star Palace’s Killing technique—Myriad Stars Diagram. As such, he now possessed great power.

An hour ago, he had even defeated someone stronger than him. It was the Conferred Knight ranked 20th in the academy, who was a level 24 expert.

For Hoult to get into the academy’s top 20 within just over half a year, it was considered to be quite an amazing feat across all the Regional Academies.

Just then, a gorgeously dressed young lady walked over while looking at Hoult with a strange expression. She was the daughter of the Great Western Region’s Regional Chief.

Hoult spoke to her with warmly, “Miley, I won. I’m now in the top 20 of the academy.”
