Chapter 475: Challenge
Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma TranslationsIn the next two days, Fang Xingjian made arrangements for all his subordinates. They would continue to gather the materials for the ninth and tenth level of the mystical prints, make arrangements for the blacksmith team from the Eastern Sand Region’s Wang Clan, and make preparations for the forging of the Divine Remains Equipment.
During these two days, Fang Xingjian had also helped Lilia experience the feeling of Heaven’s Perception three times in a row.
Having experienced it for three times, in addition to the effect of the mystical prints, Lilia entered a state of a daze, as if she would be able to enter a whole new realm any moment now.
It was also during these two days that a tremendous amount of materials that could be used to accelerate the rate of condensing specialty seeds were stored in Fang Xingjian’s Gates of the Netherworld, allowing him to carry the materials with him at all times and helping him condense specialty seeds at all times.
After everything was taken care of, Fang Xingjian announced that he would go into complete seclusion.
During the time when Fang Xingjian had suppressed all the factions of the Great Western City, searched for the desert base, defeated Number 10, returned to the Great Western City to make the necessary arrangements, and thereafter entered seclusion, a man by the name of Tian Yi appeared in the Great Western City.
This man by the name of Tian Yi, who claimed to be the Preeminent Sect’s Sect Master, displayed terrifying powers the moment he appeared. He was not a Demigod, yet seemed to be extremely close to one.
He repeatedly challenged the eight strongest martial arts factions in the Great Western City, and not only did he win all of his challenges, he never had to use a second move to defeat his opponents.
What that had truly made him famous was that he had headed to the headquarters of the Illumination Society all alone, and defeated the Illumination Society’s Chief and many other experts who had just returned.
It took him only two moves to defeat the Illumination Society’s Chief.
Although many members of the Illumination Society claimed at a later time that their Chief had suffered from serious injuries, a win was a win. Tian Yi had become yet another talented expert of his generation in the Great Western Region.
He then consecutively defeated the top three students of the Great Western Region’s Regional Academy, further raising his reputation. He was now reputed to be the strongest genius after Fang Xingjian among the younger generation in the Great Western Region.
Being in the midst of such a storm, Tian Yi issued a letter of challenge to Fang Xingjian, who had gone into seclusion.
…
In the room of the highest story of the the tallest inn in the Great Western City, Tian Yi smiled as he looked at the scenery of the entire city. It was as if he wanted to hold the entire Great Western City into his embrace.
Just then, the door behind him was slowly pushed opened. Hoult, a student of the Myriad Star Palace, walked over slowly. The moment he came in, he frowned and asked, “Brother Tian Yi, why have you thought to challenge Fang Xingjian?”
Hoult and Tian Yi had gotten to know each other at a gathering. Tian Yi thought highly of this student under the teachings of a Divine level expert. Furthermore, the Myriad Star Palace that Hoult had belonged to had a weighty legacy. Tian Yi had been told much information which he had not known before this. There was information which had allowed him to understand the difference between Demigods and Divine level experts. His Stalwart Eidolon Conviction had even progressed one further step, now having various elements of unbelievable profoundness.
“Oh? Why can’t I challenge Fang Xingjian?” Tian Yi smiled and said, “He is thought of as the strongest genius of the current generation in the Great Western Region, while I’m ranked second. Of course I would want to challenge him and receive my deserving title of being number one.”
“But Fang Xingjian has defeated the Supreme Chief and two other experts. He has already reached the cultivation level of a Demigod.” Hoult was trying to persuade Tian Yi to give up on the challenge. “Why don’t you continue to work hard on your cultivation for a bit longer, and then challenge him after you’ve become a Demigod?”
“Two days ago, I made a trip to the Governor’s manor at night.”
“What?!” Hoult abruptly lifted his head. The Great Western Region’s Governor Devitt was a second tier expert among all of level 29. Although he had yet to become a Demigod, he was extremely powerful and his Killing technique was profound. And after he had learned Fang Xingjian’s Prodigious Astral Divine Powers Waves, he had gotten even stronger and was an unfathomable existence to Hoult.
Hoult asked nervously, “You fought with the Governor?”
Tian Yi nodded and said, “We exchanged three moves. Just as I was about to defeat him, another two experts who were in no way weaker than him appeared. However, they weren’t important. With my current cultivation, I would only have to put in a little bit more effort to defeat them.
“However, I sensed that there was a broad and profound consciousness hidden in the Governor’s manor that had focused his attention on me. I would be put at a disadvantage if the fight were to continue. Therefore, I retreated.”
Hearing what Tian Yi had said, Hoult was in a state of great astonishment. He had not expected Tian Yi to be so audacious.
