In the past, Governor Devitt had supported this Fang Xingjian, but he had done so because of the extraordinary aptitude the other party had displayed.
But now, the other party was just a blind man. What right did he have to ask for his help? Moreover, the other party had just rejected the Holy Orison's invitation in front of so many people. If Devitt were to agree to the other party's request, he would be making things difficult for Yuelun.
Of course, the most important thing was that the other party was late. In this aspect, Fang Xingjian was not in the right at all.
Therefore, Devitt only smiled and said, "Xingjian, I understand your feelings. But there's a deadline for the registration. This is the rule. Today, the Hundred Blossom Banquet will announce the contents of this year's Regional Selection. These are the contents that we've come up with based on the current registrants. We can't change them easily. "
David glanced at Lilia, who was at the side, and said with a smile, "This is the person you like? Not only is he a fool, but he's also a good-for-nothing. You can just stay here and watch as he gets humiliated by so many people. "
Lilia's face was filled with dissatisfaction, but when she looked at Fang Xingjian, her gaze was filled with pity.
However, just as Devitt finished speaking and Fang Xingjian was frowning, Valen immediately stood up and said, "Sir, although Fang Xingjian is late, he has already attained Heaven's Perception. Please allow him to participate in this year's Regional Selection on account of his talent."
Hearing the words' Heaven's Perception ', everyone present looked at Fang Xingjian in astonishment, as if they were getting to know him all over again.
Today's events had been full of twists and turns. First, the head disciple of the Divine level expert, the Holy Orison, had appeared and said that he wanted to invite Fang Xingjian to the Sacred Mountain to cultivate. But then, Fang Xingjian had rejected him and wanted to register for the Regional Selection despite being late.
Just as everyone thought that he would not be able to participate, it was revealed that Fang Xingjian had already attained Heaven's Perception.
The entire incident was like a roller coaster, going up and down, incessantly stimulating the eyes of the many aristocrats present.
"What?" David's eyes were wide open, as if they were going to pop out. He stared at Fang Xingjian, unable to understand how he had managed to attain Heaven's Perception in just a few short months.
Shadow Death God Anderson and the Divine level expert's grand disciple also looked at Fang Xingjian in astonishment.
Hoult took the peeled grapes from the girl and smiled. "Oh? "The Great Western Region is really filled with talents this time around. There are already two geniuses who have stepped into Heaven's Perception consecutively."
In the entire hall, probably only Wei Lengcai, who had only awakened his Heaven's Perception after he had reached middle age and experienced a great change, did not notice any of this. He sat quietly in a corner of the hall, continuing to immerse himself in his sorrow.
Most of the others had similar reactions. They were all surprised, shocked, and had a hint of disbelief in their eyes.
Fang Xingjian was really too young. To be able to awaken Heaven's Perception at such a young age, even before the Regional Selection … What kind of talent was this? Simply amazing was not enough to describe it. One must know that Wei Leng had cultivated for tens of years and had only suddenly comprehended it after encountering a great change.
Of course, the prerequisite was that all of this was real.
Therefore, just as Devitt's gaze changed slightly, someone tactfully stepped out and said what Devitt wanted to say.
It was the green-haired aristocratic young man who had tailed Fang Xingjian all the way here. He was the guy known as Young Master Gable.
Gable looked at Fang Xingjian suspiciously and said, "You said that you've attained Heaven's Perception? Then prove it to us. "
Just then, a cry rang out. It was Lilia's cry. David had focused all his attention on Fang Xingjian, and in a moment of carelessness, Lilia had managed to break free from him with her monstrous strength.
Almost at the same instant that Lilia cried out, Fang Xingjian moved.
Although he was blind, and even if he had attained Heaven's Perception, he would only be able to sense within a range of ten meters, the Luminous Heaven Soaring Slash had allowed him to retain the ability to control the flow of the atmosphere and sense the area within a range of a hundred meters.
Therefore, he had always been very clear about how many people were standing in each location in the hall. Lilia's cry also allowed Fang Xingjian, who had an extremely sharp sense of hearing, to instantly recognize her.
Therefore, with a flash, he appeared behind Lilia and held her back. He then used Heaven's Perception to look in David's direction.
"Lilia? Why are you here as well? " With that, Fang Xingjian saw the bruises on Lilia's body through Heaven's Perception. He did not feel any heartache, but he felt fury. He turned to look at David.
Lilia hugged Fang Xingjian tightly, burying her head into Fang Xingjian's chest like a little child. The corners of her lips curled up uncontrollably, feeling an indescribable happiness.
"It's so strange. Why is it that when I hug Teacher, I feel so sweet in my heart? It's like I've eaten nectar. "
When David saw Lilia hugging Fang Xingjian with a blissful expression, his eyes turned red as he stared at Fang Xingjian. Seeing that everyone was looking in their direction, he was not willing to back down. He revealed a rich aristocratic smile and said, "Fang Xingjian, Great Genius Fang, Lilia is my fiancée. Isn't it a little inappropriate for you to hug her like this?"
"Not a little inappropriate?" Fang Xingjian fell silent for a moment before saying to the green-haired Gable, "Don't you guys want me to prove that I've attained Heaven's Perception? Then let's use this guy to prove it. "He pointed at David.
Ignoring the grim expression on David's face, Fang Xingjian said to him directly, "I'm going to make a move on you. You can try and see if you'll be able to escape."
This was the Hundred Blossom Banquet, a gathering of countless aristocrats and geniuses. David felt that he was one of the top five candidates in the Regional Selection, so how could he allow himself to be humiliated by Fang Xingjian? Hearing Fang Xingjian's words, he let out a cold laugh and took a step forward. A mountainous aura gushed out from his body, pressing down on Fang Xingjian.
This was the Killing technique, 'One Man Army', which David had painstakingly cultivated for many years. It emphasized on the cultivation of one's aura, using one's aura to suppress one's enemies and attack one's spirit.
Above that, one could directly control the atmospheric pressure, using the atmosphere to press down on others, causing them to fall to the ground, unable to get up.
When ordinary Knights were faced with the pressure from his aura, they would usually have their minds taken away, just like how Lilia had been earlier, unable to speak and being controlled by him as he wished. It was as if she was being held down by a ghost.
Even if their minds were not taken away, they would usually be suppressed by the aura to the point that their limbs were tied up, unable to unleash even half of their powers.
His highest record was when he had punched out with a single punch. The terrifying atmospheric pressure had pressed down on seven Knights, causing them to be like toads crawling on the ground. They had not been able to get up for a whole three hours.
However, what kind of person was Fang Xingjian? He had not backed down even when facing the Divine level expert Li Shuanghua and the Conferred Knight Jackson. How could he possibly back down before David?
Fang Xingjian did not say anything. He just let go of Lilia and slowly walked toward David.
The crowd in the surroundings immediately dispersed, looking at Fang Xingjian and David as if they were watching a show. The Empire's martial arts culture was too strong, and the people in high positions were basically all Knights or Conferred Knights. It was too common for fights to break out in gatherings because of a single disagreement. The crowd had long since gotten used to it, and no one stopped them. They just looked at Fang Xingjian and David, guessing the outcome of this round.
David did not show any signs of weakness. He grabbed out with his fists across space, and it was as if two great mountains had appeared out of thin air, wanting to press down on Fang Xingjian. It was a heavy pressure from the aura and atmospheric pressure, both mentally and physically.
