Chapter 608 (2/2)

‘ Fang Xingjian 1 !

‘Wait for me. Once I’ve mastered the Asura Way and succeeded in reaching the Divine level, I’ll come find you.

‘I want you to go through tens or hundreds of times the pain that I went through!!!’

In the depths of the Fifth Prince’s consciousness, in a place where the Fifth Prince had neglected, there was Tian Yi, turned into a small figure akin to a luminous spot. The streams of flames that behaved like consciousness kept on scorching his body.

He was receiving the pain that the Fifth Prince was put through, receiving the Fifth Prince’s sense of touch and pain, and using these to cultivate the Asura Way. It was unbelievable.

Above the lava, the Fist Emperor stood upright in the void space like a stone statue, monitoring the Fifth Prince’s condition.

Seeing that the Fifth Prince had such great tolerance, he could not help but think approvingly, ‘Not bad. It’s really a blessing in disguise. The Fifth Prince’s talent was above others’ to begin with, but because he was too arrogant he was always lacking.

‘After suffering a great blow from Fang Xingjian, he has now put down his arrogance and his will is getting increasingly stronger. It’s now very compatible with the Asura Way, a path that stimulates the instincts and the potential of the human body through pain and brutality.

‘If this goes on, he might actually be able to attain the Demigod status in less than a year.’

At this moment, even the Fist Emperor was a little thankful to Fang Xingjian. However, it was impossible to persuade the Fifth Prince to give up on Fang Xingjian.

The Fist Emperor could only sigh, ‘It’s a pity… Fang Xingjian, you’ve offended someone whom you shouldn’t have offended. You’ve also joined the Second Prince, who is the one with the worst future amongst the five princes. Should I say that you’re unlucky or that you have poor judgement?

‘Amongst the five princes, the Second Prince is in the most awkward position. Not only is the First Prince wary of him, but he doesn’t have the strong backings that the other four princes have either.

‘Although Fang Xingjian is amazing, there isn’t even a single Divine level expert to back him up. How on earth could he possibly compete with the Fifth Prince?’

Just then, one of his subordinates from the Great River Alliance rushed over, wearing a grim expression. He started communicating with the Fist Emperor through information currents.

“Sir, seven days ago, Fang Xingjian killed the Undying Xia in the Great Western Region’s Regional Academy. Right now, the Eight Directional Crimson Dragon has completely disbanded and not a hint of Xia’s remains were left behind.”

“What?!” The Fist Emperor turned his head abruptly and looked at his subordinate. Because he had exerted too much force, he had even a huge wave of lava with a height of several tens of meters as he struck the air.

The Fifth Prince also opened his eyes, asking with a pained expression, “What is it, Elder Brother? Did something happen?” That subordinate from earlier had given the Fist Emperor the report through information currents and the Fifth Prince had no idea what was going on.

The Fist Emperor slapped away the lava with a casual wave of his palm, ignoring the Fifth Prince. His eyes narrowed as he said, “Has the news been verified? Why is it that the news only just arrived even though it happened seven days ago?”

Fearful, the subordinate immediately said, “We didn’t really believe the news at the beginning either. Therefore, we sent a few batches of our men to get more concrete details of the situation.

“Seven days ago, the Undying Xia led his three deputy leaders to attack the Great Western Region’s Regional Academy. Governor Devitt and the others put up a fight, but to no avail.

“Prince Philip then rushed to the scene. Xia attacked the prince and even displayed the abilities of a second tier Divine level expert.”

“What?!” The Fifth Prince said, astonished. “Xia was already at the second tier of the Divine level? To be able to disintegrate his physical body, to move instantly through his will, and then regenerate… His speed would be comparable to a beam of light. With such powers, even Philip was probably not his match.”

Then, fury appeared in the Fifth Prince’s expression, “Fang Xingjian offended Xia… Could he have been killed by Xia? How could that happen? Who should I look for to seek my revenge?”

Hearing his furious tone, the subordinate subconsciously threw a glance at the Fist Emperor. It was only after the Fist Emperor had nodded that he dared to continue, “Fang Xingjian then appeared, killing Xia with a total of 31 sword attacks. He then annihilated the three deputy leaders and the Eight Directional Crimson Dragon disbanded.

“His Majesty has invited Fang Xingjian to take on the roles of committee member of the Knight Association, sword arts professor of the National Academy, and one of the judges for the upcoming National Selection. Fang Xingjian has been requested to head to the Imperial Capital to receive the commendations.”
