The moment the longsword in Fang Xingjian's hand neared the Snake of Engulfment, he sensed that something was wrong. It was because his entire body started to feel cold, and his heat energy was being absorbed incessantly.
When his sword pierced into the Snake of Engulfment, this feeling became even more obvious. Even his speed started to slow down.
However, the powers of Terra Ingurgitation were far too violent. Even though the Snake of Engulfment continued to absorb the heat energy from Fang Xingjian's body, the Silver Fox Styx was still able to tear apart the entire Snake of Engulfment within one-thousandth of a second.
Then, the sword tapped on the huge egg formed from the Astral Tempest.
Waves caused by the tremors of the powers kept appearing on the surface of the Astral Tempest. In the end, it was as if a huge egg of chaos had been broken open, and the entire Astral Tempest exploded from this sword attack.
The Silver Fox Styx in Fang Xingjian's hand also tore apart the Astral Tempest mercilessly, piercing out toward Hoult.
However, the longsword in Fang Xingjian's hand seemed to have reached its limits as well. After transmitting the powers of Terra Ingurgitation twice and slashing the Snake of Engulfment and the Astral Tempest, just as the longsword in Fang Xingjian's hand was about to tear apart Hoult's body, it shattered inch by inch and became completely useless.
Despite this, the remaining powers of Terra Ingurgitation exploded, sending Hoult flying across space. With a loud bang, Hoult crashed into the ice fog that the four examiners had jointly created and came to a stop.
With this final wave of power, the entire battle coliseum finally stopped trembling. Thankfully, the four examiners had taken action in advance, and most of the repercussions from this final attack were fended off by them. There were only many cracks on the walls of the battle coliseum, and some Knight students fell to the ground from the tremors. Thankfully, most of them were uninjured.
The arena, which was encompassed by the ice fog, had turned into dust, and there was frost everywhere. Half of Fang Xingjian's body kept on turning numb. He had suffered from severe frostbite. Even his internal organs and blood vessels were starting to deteriorate due to the loss of a large amount of heat.
Fang Xingjian immediately sat down on the ground and started to heal himself. He slowly exercised his body to generate heat and heal his wounds.
Hoult spat out a mouthful of blood and laughed out loud. "I didn't expect you to be more skillful. I still lost despite relying on 'Scarlet Fire'. If your Styx didn't shatter at the last moment, I would already be dead."
Fang Xingjian said coldly, "You have the Galaxy Tempest to protect you. Even if my Netherworld River doesn't break, it will at most heavily injure you. It won't be able to kill you."
After that, the two of them stopped talking and sat cross-legged on the spot, each beginning to heal their own injuries.
The four examiners released an icy mist and looked at Fang Xingjian, who was sitting on the stage, and Hoult, who was sitting below the stage. The outcome of the battle could not be any clearer.
Moreover, they had witnessed the entire battle just now.
"How is it?"
"Did Hoult lose?"
"Or did Fang Xingjian lose?"
Whispers could be heard from the audience. That last move was too fast and too powerful. 99% of the audience didn't even see it clearly, so they didn't know what was going on.
Everyone's gazes were fixed in the direction of the arena, looking forward to the final outcome of this battle.
Governor Devitt was stunned for a moment. At the next moment, all the words he wanted to say turned into a single sentence.
He said, "Then I announce that the winner of this year's Regional Champion is Kirst Academy's Fang Xingjian!"
The battle coliseum fell silent for a moment, and then a loud boom erupted in the next moment.
Countless people stood up, cheering, cursing, and bellowing, as if they were celebrating the birth of this year's Regional Champion.
Fang Xingjian exhaled and thought to himself, 'I've finally won.'
At this moment, his physical strength was almost completely depleted. He was unable to release Terra Ingurgitation and Ether Sword Ripples, and even his accompanying sword, Styx, had been rendered useless after only holding it for a few days.
However, all of this was worth it. The Regional Champion would win him a lot of time.
On the spectator's stand, Ferdinand cheered and jumped up. His face was filled with ecstasy as he hugged Kirst's City Lord, Anthony, and Robert.
"I've won! I've won! Hahahaha! "
Thinking of the gold coins he was about to get his hands on, he could not help but laugh foolishly.
Anthony and Robert, on the other hand, were smiling bitterly. They could have won one or two thousand gold coins, but because of their hesitation, it had turned into a few hundred gold coins. In that instant, they felt an extreme pain in their hearts.
Mongul's City Lord took a long look at Fang Xingjian, who was sitting cross-legged on the arena. He shook his head and was about to leave with his son, David.
Tresia Clan's Forbidden Army's Deputy Commander, Adri, looked at Fang Xingjian. His eyes seemed to be filled with countless schemes and schemes.
At the next moment, someone started clapping, and all the spectators in the battle coliseum started clapping as well.
Amidst the tide-like applause, Manny and Rota walked up to the arena and helped Fang Xingjian down.
There were still the battles for the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and so on. However, most of the people present were probably not in the mood to watch them.
Devitt and the three examiners walked up as well. They looked at Fang Xingjian and said, "Go and have a good rest. You don't have to worry about the rest of the competition."
Fang Xingjian nodded and was about to be helped up by a few maids to leave the battle coliseum. However, just then, the sky suddenly turned dark, and a black fog encompassed the entire battle coliseum in the blink of an eye. It was as if a layer of darkness had covered the sky, blocking out the sunlight.
A Conferred Knight, who was dressed in black armor and whose head was completely covered by a black helmet, had appeared in the sky above the battle coliseum.
Looking at everyone's gazes, he said calmly, "Seems like I'm not too late. The Great Western Region's Regional Selection's first place has just been decided, right?"
Devitt's gaze turned cold as he said, "Dark Knight? Then the First Prince is here as well, right? "
"Haha, that's right." A similarly pitch-black fog appeared behind the Dark Knight, forming a pitch-black human figure. However, when Fang Xingjian saw this figure, he was slightly stunned. It was the First Prince, George Krieg.
The thirty-six contracts in the Hell's Map would each have thirty-six clones attached to them. They represented the thirty-six powers which the Ancient Path of Hell believed hell should possess.
Previously, the First Prince had appeared in flames. This time around, he had appeared in darkness.
The First Prince, who was formed from the black fog, was filled with a mysterious and despairing aura. It was as if there were shrill cries constantly ringing out, and many pained faces were trying to emerge from his body.
He threw a glance at the people under his feet. It was as if he was the god in the heavens announcing his decree. Each of his words seemed to be ringing out in everyone's hearts, bringing about a terrifying aura.
He was merely standing in the sky, but it was as if he was the ruler of the entire world. Waves of powerful aura came gushing down, as if wanting everyone to prostrate themselves in worship and have thoughts of surrendering.
Fang Xingjian thought to himself, 'So powerful! This clone is much stronger than the flame clone from last time. "
The First Prince said calmly, "Father has already agreed to my request and appointed me as this year's Royal Supervisory Officer to oversee the situation in this year's Regional Selections in the eight regions. I'll also be able to select the elites and give them special approval to enter the National Royal Academy to study, increasing the power of the royal family.
"The reason I've come to the Great Western Region today is to select the elites from the top ten to follow me back to the Imperial Capital."
The First Prince's words caused the entire battle coliseum to break into an uproar. The countenances of Devitt and the other examiners changed as they looked at the Dark Knight and the First Prince in the sky with unfriendly expressions.
