After the banquet ended, Yuelun boarded his horse carriage. There was a lady dressed in white waiting for him in the carriage. When she saw Yuelun, she could not help but ask, "Master, what's so special about that Fang Xingjian? Why is it that you seem so unsettled after seeing him?"
Yuelun let out a bitter laugh and said, "You can tell as well?" He shook his head. He had not wanted to say it, but after thinking about it, the other party would eventually find out.
Therefore, he said, "Fang Xingjian looks a little like that person."
"That person?" The lady dressed in white frowned and said, "Who is that person?"
Yuelun lifted his head and looked out of the window, his tone filled with the vicissitudes of life, "The person who disappeared sixteen years ago."
At the start, the lady dressed in white had not reacted. However, at the next moment, a hint of terror flashed on her face. It was as if the person Yuelun was talking about had endless magical powers.
The lady dressed in white's teeth clattered as she said, "He looks a lot like that person?"
Yuelun shook his head, "It's not just similar. They're exactly the same. "
"How is that possible? That person shouldn't have any other blood relatives or brothers." The lady dressed in white's pupils dilated as she said in a trembling voice, "Could it be …"
An extremely terrifying and unbelievable possibility came to her mind.
She looked at Master Yuelun and asked, "Master, does Grandmaster know about this?" The Grandmaster she was referring to was naturally the Holy Orison.
Yuelun shook his head and said, "I don't know. However, the world is going to change soon. If those aristocrats and the other Guardian Kings in the north were to find out about Fang Xingjian, the Empire would probably be in for a lot of trouble. "
…
One day, two days, three days …
Time passed by day by day. Fang Xingjian stayed in the same hotel as Rota and the others. There, he met the other examinees from Kirst who had come to participate in the Regional Selection, as well as Ferdinand, Anthony, and the others who had come to spectate.
Fang Xingjian's name also spread rapidly with the end of the Hundred Blossom Banquet, spreading in all directions. It could be said that he had become famous overnight. In the various betting stalls regarding the Regional Selection, Fang Xingjian's name, along with the other three, had become the most popular contenders for the championship.
Of course, this also caused many people, including nobles, merchants, and knights, to want to get close to Fang Xingjian and chat with him.
However, during this period of time, Fang Xingjian had been staying in his private room in the hotel, not coming out at all. All the people who came to visit him were stopped by Ferdinand, Robert, and Anthony, who were here to watch the competition.
Finally, on the morning of the Regional Selection, Anthony yawned and lay on the sofa, occasionally looking in the direction of the hotel room's door.
Opposite him, Robert and Anthony sat there, both of them having trouble calming down.
Ferdinand grinned and said, "Still thinking about the gambling stalls?"
Anthony looked at Ferdinand unhappily and said, "How can you still be calm? You've bet all three thousand gold on Xingjian becoming the Regional Champion, right? No matter how much confidence you have in Xingjian, don't you feel nervous at all? "
Robert nodded in agreement. Both he and Anthony had also bet five hundred gold on Fang Xingjian, not daring to bet any more. Seeing how relaxed Ferdinand was, they felt extremely puzzled.
After the auction of the human skull, they had each received three thousand gold from Fang Xingjian. Although they had used it to buy some cultivation materials, they had not dared to spend it recklessly. In the end, under Ferdinand's instigation, they had used it to bet on the Regional Selection.
They had been in a constant state of torment, feeling that they had bet too little, and then feeling that they had bet too much. They were even more nervous than the examinees.
Hearing their worries, Ferdinand shook his head and said, "Up till now, has Xingjian ever lost before? Regardless of whether it's his aptitude, temperament, or talent, he's the best I've ever seen. I've decided to bet everything on him. "What about you guys? "What do you think about that matter?"
What Ferdinand was saying was that he planned to drop out from Kirst Royal Academy after Fang Xingjian became the Regional Champion and come to the Great Western City to assist Fang Xingjian.
It was because he felt that as compared to cultivating in Kirst Academy, coming to the Great Western City to assist Fang Xingjian and receive his guidance would be much more effective. His future would also be more promising.
However, not everyone was as decisive as Ferdinand. When people like Anthony and Robert, who cherished the opportunities they had in Kirst Academy and were infatuated with the various free cultivation resources and subsidies, it was easy for them to hesitate when they heard that they wanted to drop out of the academy.
Ferdinand smiled and said, "Then you guys can consider it yourselves. No matter what, it's your choice. Xingjian and I won't blame you."
Just then, the door to the room opened and Fang Xingjian walked out.
Right now, he no longer looked like the vagabond he had been fifteen days ago. After washing up and getting some rest, he once again revealed a delicate and handsome face with a hint of determination. The tight-fitting Knight attire brought out his well-built physique perfectly, and his 1.9 meters height gave off an oppressive aura.
However, the most important thing was that after fifteen days of secluded cultivation and cleansing his mind, he had completely returned to his peak condition and his cultivation had improved.
During these fifteen days, he had focused on cultivating his Ether Divine Art, focusing on the first stage of the Regional Selection — Slashing the Heavenly Pillar. He had cultivated his High Frequency Effulgence Weapon, Silver Fox, to level 3, reaching a vibration frequency of 1,500 times per second, once again increasing his slashing ability.
Next was to focus on tempering his attributes. Right now, the Rebirth Sword Technique, which would automatically circulate in his body every day, had given him twenty thousand potential points, double what he had in the past.
After fifteen days, he had gained a total of 300,000 potential points. He allocated all of these potential points equally to his strength and reaction.
Therefore, Fang Xingjian's attributes were now:

The moment he came out, it was as if the mental energy, Qi activity, or information had been stimulated. The doors to the other rooms opened one after another, and Manny, Rota, Hamil, Ralph, and the other students from Kirst Academy all walked out. Their eyes shone brightly, and it was clear that they had spent the last fifteen days adjusting themselves to their peak states.
Fang Xingjian looked at Ferdinand and the others, casually took the longsword from them, and said with a smile, "Let's go."
As for the longsword he had taken, it was naturally the level 20 Superior Remains Divine Weapon that Hamil had taken the initiative to return — Styx.
