Hearing Rota's words, the other three middle-aged Knights nodded.
They were all Knights who had cultivated for decades, continuously tempering their bodies and techniques. Therefore, they could better understand how powerful and difficult it was for Fang Xingjian to reach such a level.
The white-haired Gardner nodded and said, "It's true that Fang Xingjian's level is remarkable. With his talent, he might even be able to break through the second transition and enter the realm of a Conferred Knight. "It's a pity … a pity."
He shook his head and turned to leave. "Dali, it's just like what your sister said. Don't offend him. If what he said is right, then return the Seism Steel to him within three days. It's not worth throwing away our Versailles Clan's reputation for such a small thing."
The other two middle-aged Knights also nodded. Clearly, this decision did not have much meaning. Even though Fang Xingjian was already blind, his level of martial arts was still admirable.
Gardner then said to Rota, "Alright, Rota, you'll have to work hard from now on. The rewards for this Regional Selection are no small matter. The clan will do their best to allocate resources for you. "We'll fully support you. If you can get into the top ten in this Regional Selection, then your future will be limitless."
Rota clenched her fists tightly. Thinking of how this year's Regional Selection was going to be unprecedentedly grand, with countless geniuses competing against each other, an exuberant fighting spirit appeared in her eyes.
…
Fang Xingjian did not know about these. He returned to the villa and continued his cultivation.
However, he was no longer cultivating his sword Qis to sense the world. Due to the limits of air, his sensory abilities had already reached the pinnacle and would never be able to surpass that of sound.
What he needed to do now was to research the legendary ability to sense ether particles.
Compared to the first transition, where one only needed to confirm the existence of ether particles and transmit power into them, the second transition required one to be able to receive the information contained in ether particles.
Fang Xingjian sat cross-legged on the grass patch with his eyes closed, raising his head to look at the sky. Suddenly, a stream of Ether Sword Ripples shot out at lightning speed from a position three meters in front of him toward the sky, dissipating ten meters away.
'It's too fast … I can't sense it at all.'
Sensing ether particles. His Ether Sword Ripples were formed by stacking ether particles. Therefore, he set his target on sensing his Ether Sword Ripples.
However, the speed of the Ether Sword Ripples was his own maximum speed. Right now, Fang Xingjian's maximum speed was eight times that of supersonic speed, and even he himself found it hard to sense it.
He also understood that even if his eyes were undamaged, it was impossible for him to keep moving at such extreme speeds. Because his eyes, brain, and nerves could not react at all, he was afraid that he would hit a wall after running a few steps. Even if he fought, he would not be able to hit his target.
Now that he was blind, it was even harder for him to sense Ether Sword Ripples.
However, even if he continued to reduce the speed of the Ether Sword Ripples, he would only be able to sense the existence of ether particles. He would not be able to get any information from them.
He suddenly took out his Silver Dragon and raised this level 7 Empire's Divine Weapon high up. Fang Xingjian slashed out a stream of Ether Sword Ripples across space. The sword ripples slashed fiercely against the dagger, releasing a crisp clang.
Even Fang Xingjian himself found it hard to withstand the impact of 1.5 times the force. The dagger flew out of his hand, piercing into the ground over ten meters away.
'As expected, the Ether Sword Ripples aren't able to slash through everything. It's just like how Rota's small silver spear was not slashed through. My Silver Dragon is also unable to slash through it.
'Therefore, if the opponent's defensive equipment is strong enough, the Ether Sword Ripples might not be able to slash through it either.'
As he thought of these, Fang Xingjian waved with one hand and activated the Supreme Mistwind Sword. Sword Qis danced about, sending the Silver Dragon back to his hand.
Right now, his Supreme Mistwind Sword's sword arts had been integrated into his daily life. The sword Qis could be as gentle as a light brush against one's face, or as tough as a tornado.
Thereafter, Fang Xingjian tried to continuously slash out streams of Ether Sword Ripples across space, but he was still unable to sense the so-called ether information.
'As expected, it's still a little difficult to figure it out by myself.
'Maybe I should go and look for some books and experiences on attaining Heaven's Perception.'
Just then, the maid Lina pushed the dining cart over, bringing the dinner for the night.
Fang Xingjian sniffed slightly, then frowned and said, "What's going on? Why has the amount of dinner been reduced? "
The maid Lina threw a glance at him, thinking, 'Previously, you had said that you were going to look for the Seism Steel, but in the end, you still came back dejectedly, not having brought back any Seism Steel.'
She said disapprovingly, "Sir, in the past, your daily meals have always been over the quota. Now that the new Deputy Headmaster, Lord Edger, wants to clear up the financial issues, your daily meals are now based on the original Prefectural Champion's standards."
Fang Xingjian frowned. He was different from ordinary Knights. It was because he was someone who circulated his Waves and sword arts twenty-four hours a day, both physically and mentally. This, coupled with his world's number one sword arts talent, allowed his cultivation speed to be very fast.
However, such extreme cultivation required ferocious beasts and high-grade medicinal cuisine to continuously replenish his vital energy and blood, energy, and even increase his potential.
If it was just the cultivation resources of a Prefectural Champion, it would at most be enough for him to cultivate for twelve hours a day.
To other Prefectural Champions, cultivating for twelve hours a day was considered pretty good. However, to Fang Xingjian, it was merely half of his daily efficiency.
Just as Fang Xingjian was feeling slightly infuriated and wanted to look for Edger, he suddenly turned his head, sensing through his sword Qis that a person was walking over slowly.
"Who is it?"
"It's me, Xingjian." The Headmaster looked at Fang Xingjian apologetically and said, "Let's go in and talk."
After entering the room and taking a seat, the Headmaster looked at Fang Xingjian's actions and said, "Seems like you've adapted very quickly."
Fang Xingjian said calmly, "After losing my sight, I'm no longer confused by the various colors in the material world. This might allow me to get closer to the highest realm of sword arts."
Hearing Fang Xingjian's words, a hint of sadness flashed in the Headmaster's eyes. He continued, "Xingjian, from today onwards, there might be a need for you to adjust your cultivation quota every month."
Fang Xingjian did not say anything. He knew that the Headmaster would definitely explain the reason.
The Headmaster said, "If everything goes smoothly on Huang Lin's side, he'll be able to reach the Sacred Mountain where the Holy Orison is located in over ten days. "I've gathered some books that talk about Heaven's Perception for you. Get a Knight to read them for you. The experiences of the predecessors can be used as a reference. Moreover, these books are written with great effort, much better than me explaining them …"
Saying this, he fell silent for a moment before finally saying, "But I've thought about it for a long time. It's best that you don't participate in this year's Regional Selection. "I know that you have great talent and that you're working hard to comprehend the profoundness behind Heaven's Perception. However, blindness is still a flaw. The rewards for this year's Regional Selection and next year's National Selection have more than doubled. Who knows how many geniuses will appear out of nowhere and illuminate the world. "There's also a stage in the Regional Selection called the Pantheon Monument Observation. Right now, you can't even see the inscriptions on it. You've already lost before this stage has even started, unless you attain Heaven's Perception in the remaining three months or so before the Regional Selection."
It was not that there had never been people who had managed to sense ether particles and take the first step to attaining Heaven's Perception before the Regional Selection.
However, these were all things that could only be achieved by people with great luck and luck.
In fact, almost all Conferred Knights had only succeeded in attaining Heaven's Perception after passing the Regional Selection with the help of a tremendous amount of resources from the Regional Academy.
Even with the Regional Academy's means, there would still be many Conferred Knights who would fail in their attempt to attain Heaven's Perception every year, ending up either in a vegetative state or an idiot.
Now that Fang Xingjian had lost his eyesight, he wanted to do the opposite and attempt to attain Heaven's Perception before passing the Regional Selection. How low would the chances of success be? Moreover, how long had it been since he had transitioned? How was it possible for him to attain Heaven's Perception after having gone through the first transition for half a year?
To be honest, even Headmaster Jackson did not think that he would be able to succeed.
In his opinion, the only way for Fang Xingjian to give up on this year's Regional Selection and use his full efforts to help the academy achieve good results so that he would be able to receive more funding from next year onwards. Only then would Fang Xingjian have the chance to work hard towards attaining Heaven's Perception.
