Chapter 251 (2/2)

From there, Fang Xingjian ignored the various matters concerning the Regional Academy. Regardless of whether there were any b.a.l.l.s, celebration parties, meet-ups or private gatherings, he rejected them all. He once again sank deep into cultivation, quietly waiting to enter the Regional Academy as he started cultivating.

Three days later, he was informed by a maid and led to the Headmaster’s office in the Regional Academy. Rota, Manny, Hoult, and Anderson had long since been waiting there. It seemed that the Regional Academy’s Headmaster, Governor Devitt, had yet to arrive.

Rota and Manny waved at Fang Xingjian. Rota had turned out in sixth place, and Manny had come out eighth because of Wei Leng’s departure.

Anderson propped up his legs and sat on the couch without a care for his image.

When Hoult saw Fang Xingjian, he followed Fang Xingjian over. The Crimson Fire longsword was attached at his waist, and he wore a set of formal attire which aristocrats wore, seeming to exude the luxurious aura of those in the upper cla.s.s.

Hoult sat next to Fang Xingjian and said calmly, “I’ve asked my teacher. First Prince was already extremely close to attaining Divine level to begin with.

“And over at the Church of Universal Truth, he managed to s.n.a.t.c.h a set of Divine level expert’s remains. Then he performed the h.e.l.l’s Transmigration Technique from the Ancient Path of h.e.l.l and absorbed the Divine remains into his own body. He was already one step into attaining Divine level then. With his great talent, he will probably really be able to truly attain Divine level within a year.

“By then, in order to completely master all thirty-six h.e.l.l’s Maps, he will probably still come looking for you.”

Taken under the wings of a Divine level expert, Hoult was naturally unconcerned that the First Prince would lay his hands on him. However, Fang Xingjian was in great danger. After reminding Fang Xingjian of this, Hoult gave him a pat on the shoulder and left.

Rota frowned and said, “Why is the First Prince so obsessed with the thirty-six h.e.l.l’s Maps? If he has cultivated and reached the Divine level, he shouldn’t be bothered with how many top notch Knights he has under him, right?”

Manny shook his head and said, “It’s not like that. It was said that the founder of the Ancient Path of h.e.l.l, Adam, was the only person who had successfully cultivated all thirty-six h.e.l.l’s Maps successfully.

“And there were also some rumors in history that those who transcended the Divine level had lifespans that surpa.s.sed human limits.

“It was said that after Adam was buried, someone had opened his coffin secretly, only to discover that his corpse was missing.

“The faction, which cultivated the Ancient Path of h.e.l.l, thought that someone had stolen the corpse but ended up not finding anything.

“However, in the decades and hundreds of years which followed, there have been occasional rumors that Adam had been seen.”

“I know.” Rota nodded and said, “It was said that there were some people who looked like him. There were also stories about people who didn’t grow old even after ten years or decades had pa.s.sed. Aren’t they all groundless hearsays? Why would the First Prince believe in them?”

Manny shrugged and said, “For someone at the First Prince’s level, they would rather believe it to be true than not.”

Just then, Anderson spoke coldly from the side, “If this guy dares to force me, even if I can’t kill him, I’ll a.s.sa.s.sinate his subordinates one by one.”

The ten Knights, who had advanced past the Regional Selection, all fell into a daze at this. Fang Xingjian alone remained expressionless. Everyone else seemed to have been shocked by Anderson’s impudence.

Anderson looked at First Prince and said, “Fang Xingjian, don’t think that you’re the only one who would dare to go against the First Prince. If he were to ask me the same thing during the arena battle, I’ll definitely give a reply that’s ten times stronger.”

Manny grinned and said helplessly, “Who’s trying to compare with you about this?”

A few minutes later, Headmaster Devitt finally arrived at the office. Upon entering, he got straight to the point, “The Regional Selection is over. The reason I’ve called all of you today is to go through the procedures for your enrolment into the Regional Academy. Additionally, it is to make good on the promise about the prizes to be given to the top ten of the Regional Selection.”

Hearing the Headmaster’s words, everyone’s eyes lit up.
