Looking at Fang Xingjian's gaze, Hamil and the other two were slightly stunned.
Seeing their silence, Fang Xingjian said calmly, "Before me, what difference is there between you and a blind man?"
The three of them wanted to retort, but thinking of Fang Xingjian's earlier actions, they had indeed not seen it clearly. They did not even know how many times Fang Xingjian had kicked Edger.
'How could he be so fast?'
Compared to the fact that Fang Xingjian had beaten up Edger, the three of them were more astonished by the fact that Fang Xingjian's speed seemed to be even faster than before.
Moreover, when he had performed the Radiant Light Sword Technique earlier, it was as if he had not lost his sight.
Right now, the Fang Xingjian before them with his eyes closed seemed to be even more terrifying than before.
However, at the next moment, the three of them thought of something.
'Thank goodness, thank goodness. The Regional Selection requires the Pantheon Monument Observation. With him losing his sight, it's impossible for him to pass this stage. In the end, he's still lagging behind us. It's impossible for him to participate in the Regional Selection.'
A look of relief flashed in Hamil's eyes.
Ralph shook his head, looking at Fang Xingjian's face with a look of pity.
Only Rota stared at Fang Xingjian's tightly shut eyes, as if wanting to see his eyes. She suddenly had a feeling that he might really be able to attain Heaven's Perception and pass the Regional Selection.
'But how is that possible? Attaining Heaven's Perception in three months? It's only been six months since he transitioned. How is this possible?'
Fang Xingjian asked casually, then turned to look in Edger's direction. Edger let out an enraged bellow and appeared a hundred meters away with a flash.
He took out a foldable longbow from his waist, and with a sudden burst, streams of electricity shot out from all over his body, circling around Fang Xingjian at supersonic speed.
As the son of the former Headmaster and the genius who had been the Prefectural Champion back then, his abilities had long since reached the pinnacle of the first transition, and he was even slightly stronger than clan elders like Rebecca. In an instant, he could even move at supersonic speed.
In the next moment, it was as if tens of thousands of meteors had streaked across the sky. Countless crossbow bolts swept over from all directions like lasers. This was yet another supersonic archery skill. Every arrow that was shot out turned into ten scattered arrows.
Fang Xingjian had no way of perceiving the supersonic archery. He did not even know how many arrows his opponent had shot in an instant.
However, this did not mean that there was nothing he could do. Just as he sensed that Edger had disappeared from his senses, he suddenly dashed forward. Even though he did not use his full power, he still dashed forward at four times the speed of sound. In the blink of an eye, he had dashed 500 meters away and arrived at the edge of the training field.
Only then did the supersonic arrows hit Fang Xingjian's afterimage, causing a series of explosive sounds to ring out, causing the bricks on the ground to explode.
Although Fang Xingjian could not see the attacks, with his speed, if he were to focus on dodging, no one would be able to catch up to him.
Edger had obviously realized this as well, and he was extremely exasperated. Just as he was about to nock an arrow and shoot again, he noticed that a ball of white light had lit up on Fang Xingjian's fingertip. The Radiant Light Sword Technique was activated, and in the next moment, streams of white light shot out from all over his body, illuminating the area tens of meters around him. There was no way to see his exact location.
Amidst the light, Fang Xingjian had not expected Edger to have some martial arts. To think that Edger had also surpassed the speed of sound, causing him to be unable to sense him.
If that was the case, Fang Xingjian would probably have to rely on Ether Sword Ripples in order to defeat Edger. He would charge up to the approximate location, unleashing over a hundred streams of Ether Sword Ripples from ten meters around him.
However, that would be a little difficult to control. He might be able to kill Edger with a single sword attack, or all of his attacks might miss.
Faced with the Radiant Light Sword Technique, Edger hesitated for a moment. If he could not see, it would be hard for him to hit his target.
Just as he was thinking if he should use an area attack to test the waters, a sound rang out from afar.
A few instructors dashed toward the training ground and shouted from afar, "Deputy Headmaster, what's the matter?"
"What's the matter? Do you need our help?"
Seeing this scene, Edger frowned slightly, and a hint of embarrassment flashed on his face. He put down his bow and arrow and retreated far away with a swoosh, showing no signs of hesitation.
Hamil, Ralph, and Rota looked at the departing Edger in astonishment. None of them could understand what had happened.
To think that the Deputy Headmaster had left just like that?
Although he had not managed to take down Fang Xingjian in the earlier battle, no matter what, Fang Xingjian was blind. Even if Fang Xingjian's speed was ten times faster than his, Edger would still be able to fight him. Why would he leave?
A hint of comprehension flashed in Hamil's eyes.
'I heard that Edger values his pride the most and is someone who can suffer for the sake of his pride.
'Hehe, now that I look at it, that's really the case. '
Hamil's guess was not wrong. Edger had planned on fighting it out with Fang Xingjian to the end, wanting to suppress him so that he would know his place.
However, he had been beaten black and blue by Fang Xingjian at the start. If the instructors who had rushed over were to see this, what would the outcome be?
The news would probably spread like wildfire the next day. The entire academy would know that he had tried to have a talk with Fang Xingjian, but had been taught a lesson because of a disagreement. Then he had been unable to defeat Fang Xingjian and had been beaten black and blue. It was only when a few instructors had come to stop him that he was saved.
How could Edger possibly tolerate something like this? Therefore, he decided to leave immediately, not wanting to meet the few instructors. At the same time, he said in a clear voice, "Xingjian, since that's the case, then it's decided. You'll be the one to guide the elite class in their martial arts. As for the specifics, you guys can discuss it amongst yourselves."
He looked as if he had just finished a discussion, but only Hamil and the other two could hear the threat in his words.
The few instructors who had rushed over looked at each other, not understanding what was going on.
However, Fang Xingjian let out a cold laugh and retracted the Radiant Light Sword Technique. He looked at Hamil and the other two. Since Edger had given up on pursuing the matter, there was no way he would continue to pester them. He had too many things he needed to do, so he did not have the time to waste on them.
He looked at the three of them and asked directly, "How about it? I'll guide you guys in your martial arts for two hundred gold a month. Are you guys interested?"
The three of them looked at each other and did not reply immediately.
Just as Fang Xingjian thought that the three of them were unable to put down their pride and would not accept the offer, Rota was the first to step out. She stared at Fang Xingjian and said, "It's true that I admire your martial arts very much. However, I heard that we can try out your classes for a day. I wonder if we can try out the feeling of two hundred gold a day?"
Fang Xingjian smiled, "Of course."
An inexplicable smile appeared on Hamil's face, which was like the spring water in the mountains. He said calmly, "Then count me in as well."
Ralph turned back and let out a cold snort, saying, "I'll practice my sword myself. I don't need anyone to guide me."
Sensing that Ralph had left, Fang Xingjian did not say anything. He only walked up to Rota and Hamil and said, "The two of you can just stay here and practice the martial arts you're currently practicing. As long as it's something related to the circulation of the body, I can give you guidance."
With that, he lifted his finger and continued to practice the Radiant Light Sword Technique.
Rota and Hamil exchanged a glance. In the end, Rota was the one to step out and say, "Then let me demonstrate a set of spear arts first."
Fang Xingjian smiled, looking at Rota and Hamil like he was looking at two fat sheep. In order to gather enough money to participate in the auction for the human skulls, he was putting in more and more effort.
