Fang Xingjian's heart stirred slightly. The first place of the Regional Selection this time around would be rewarded with a full set of level 29 Superior Divine Weapon equipment. This was a very terrifying reward.
Hoult had relied on a level 29 Superior Divine Weapon, Crimson Fire, to be able to unleash the abilities of a Conferred Knight at the Knight level. How powerful would a full set of level 29 equipment be?
The Headmaster nodded at everyone. "In a while, someone will bring you to choose your Superior Divine Weapons and the Killing techniques passed down in the royal family. "From now on, you'll be students of the Great Western Region Regional Academy. I won't say anything unnecessary, but you must know that the Regional Academy will not be supporting you for nothing. Examinees who are unable to attain Heaven's Perception and complete the second transition within three years will be expelled. Don't blame me for not warning you in advance."
Hearing the Headmaster's words, everyone present felt a chill in their hearts. They knew that the Headmaster was not trying to scare them. Although they had passed the Regional Selection, they only had the right to be nurtured by the Regional Academy with all their might and strive to become Conferred Knights. It was not certain that they would become Conferred Knights in the future.
Throughout history, there had been many people who had passed the Regional Selection but had not been able to attain Heaven's Perception after three years of hard work. In the end, they had been expelled by the Regional Academy.
Therefore, a few of the examinees who had been in high spirits immediately felt a heavy pressure. The end of the Regional Selection was not the beginning. Instead, it was the start of an even more important and lasting competition.
However, Fang Xingjian did not feel any pressure at all. He had already attained Heaven's Perception. As long as he was fully prepared, he would be able to advance to the second transition in the Regional Academy at any time.
Hoult, Anderson, Rota, and Manny were also very confident. They had received a gift from the Melancholic Monarch and had grasped a hint of inspiration from Heaven's Perception. They were very confident that they would be able to go through the second transition within the next three years.
"Alright, you guys can go out. There will be someone outside to receive you. Fang Xingjian, you stay behind."
Under everyone's envious, worried, or jealous gazes, Fang Xingjian stayed behind in the Headmaster's office.
Devitt looked at Fang Xingjian and said, "Your reward for the Regional Selection is a level 29 Superior Divine Weapon set. The prowess of this set is extraordinary, possessing almost 50% of a level 29 Knight's power. It's extremely powerful."
Fang Xingjian smiled, "When will I be able to get it?"
"There'll be someone specially assigned to escort it here from the Imperial Capital. It'll take about five days or so." Devitt looked at Fang Xingjian and continued, "When do you plan to go through the second transition? "I've already applied for the Sacred Land of the highest level. The ether particle density there is 100 times that of the outside world, and it'll be able to speed up your cultivation after the second transition."
Thinking of this, he let out a sigh and said, "You understand the situation in the country. Right now, the First Prince is suppressing everyone else. He'll probably ascend to the throne within one or two years. If you want to break through his restrictions, you'll have to make use of every minute and second to cultivate."
Fang Xingjian nodded and said, "When can I go to the Holy Land to change my job?"
When Governor Devitt heard Fang Xingjian's words, he felt that he was in too much of a rush. "Job transition? So fast? Don't you need to prepare? What profession are you going to choose? "
Fang Xingjian said, "Wait for me to take a look at the information on the second transition. If my attributes meet the requirements, I'll go straight away."
Theoretically speaking, as long as one attained Heaven's Perception and then went to a Sacred Land with a sufficient ether particle density, they would be able to complete the second transition.
Due to Heaven's Perception, Knights would be able to receive information on the second transition directly from the ether particles. They would then be able to choose one of the many available jobs as their second transition.
However, there were also various requirements for the second transition. The stronger the job, the higher the requirements. Fang Xingjian's idea was not to continue tempering his attributes or specialties in the first transition for too long. He wanted to take a look at the strongest job he could transition to, and if he was able to do so, he would do so. If he was lacking in the requirements, he would go and raise his level. There was no need for him to stay at level 19 for too long.
After all, his sword arts talent and mystical prints were right there. With the crazy synthesis of Killing techniques, as well as the enhancement from the mystical prints, his ether synchronization rate was also increasing very quickly. Even if his job was slightly weaker, it would not hinder the increase in his abilities.
Moreover, with his current attributes, he believed that he would be able to go through most of the second transition jobs successfully.
Governor Devitt frowned. He had wanted to advise Fang Xingjian to build up his foundation and transition to a stronger second transition job. However, after giving it some thought, he knew that Fang Xingjian was under a lot of pressure and did not have much time to build up his foundation.
Governor Devitt nodded and arranged for Fang Xingjian to once again receive the Knight attire for a Conferred Knight. The Scarlet Cloak was a powerful piece of equipment that had the defense of a level 19 Inferior Divine Weapon.
The blue and white Knight attire fitted Fang Xingjian very closely. It was warm in the winter and cool in the summer, and it was also very light and thin, like silk pajamas.
The Scarlet Cloak was draped on Fang Xingjian's back, making flapping sounds like burning flames. It had the ability to defend against high and low temperatures, reduce gravity, and increase one's speed.
This was the privilege of a Conferred Knight. Once one wore this, even if one did not make a move, one would be able to do whatever they wanted in the entire Empire.
The maid smiled and said, "Sir, does the clothes fit you? Do you need any changes? "
"There's no need." Fang Xingjian shook his head and walked out.
The other reward for the Regional Selection was to choose a Royal Killing technique.
The Royal Killing technique was a powerful Killing technique that the Empire's royal family kept in secret. Moreover, they were all specially used by second transition Knights, allowing them to borrow the tremendous powers of the heavens and the earth.
When a second transition Knight attained Heaven's Perception, they would possess the attribute of ether synchronization rate. They would be able to exchange information and energy with ether particles.
Exchanging information could increase one's insight and talent, as well as widen the path of cultivation.
Exchanging energy could allow a Conferred Knight to borrow the tremendous powers of the heavens and the earth for battle, greatly increasing their destructive prowess.
However, each Regional Academy had a limited collection of these Royal Killing techniques. For example, the Great Western Region Regional Academy had a total of eight sets, known as the Eight Techniques of the West. Some of the Eight Techniques of the West were limited to weapons, while others did not matter what kind of weapon they were.
They were the Dragon Slaying Sword Technique, Titan Divine Strength, Violet Electric Taixu Blade, Hell's Gate, Evil Judgement, Ten Directional Unrivalled Strike, Ninety Thousand Godly Demon Flash, and Sanguine Rampage.
When the examinees of each batch of the Regional Selection entered the academy, they would be able to choose one of the Eight Techniques of the West as their Killing technique. They could then integrate it with other techniques or synthesize it with other techniques, greatly increasing their battle prowess.
Of course, the Eight Techniques of the West was merely the beginning of the cultivation of the second transition. Other than ether synchronization rate and attributes, the most important factor for the second transition's battle prowess was how powerful the Killing technique cultivated was.
The more Killing techniques were synthesized successfully, the higher their quality would be, and the more compatible they would be with themselves. Thus, the battle prowess unleashed by those of the same level would naturally be stronger.
A maid passed the introduction to the Eight Techniques of the West to Fang Xingjian.
Fang Xingjian looked at the introduction of the Eight Techniques of the West. Right now, his greatest strengths were mainly based on three aspects — his own speed, Ether Sword Ripples, and Terra Ingurgitation.
If he were to choose a Killing technique, he would naturally have to choose one that could complement these three aspects, strengthening or perfecting them.
For his current battles, it would be sufficient to use the Luminous Heaven Soaring Slash. If his opponent was even stronger, he would use Boundaries Negation to unleash his full explosive speed. If his opponent was even stronger, he would use Ether Sword Ripples. If his opponent was even stronger, he would use Terra Ingurgitation. This was the composition of his current abilities.
His next plan was very simple. After choosing the Killing technique that would be rewarded, he would complete his job transition within a short period of time.
Thereafter, he would continue to cultivate sets of Killing techniques in the Regional Academy, strengthening his techniques through synthesis.
The other was to earn money to cultivate the mystical prints and increase his ether synchronization rate. In the second transition, one would only be able to level up with an increase of 10% in their ether synchronization rate. In order to level up from level 19 to level 29, one would need to increase their ether synchronization rate to 100%. Moreover, the ether synchronization rate would also affect how much power one could borrow from the heavens and the earth.
Therefore, in the second transition, the ether synchronization rate was extremely important.
Moreover, after earning money, he would be able to purchase all sorts of heavenly and earthly treasures to increase his attributes and specialties, strengthening his foundation.
In short, the cultivation of the second transition was to increase one's attributes and the foundations of one's specialties. One would also need to cultivate and synthesize techniques, as well as increase their ether synchronization rate and level.
As he thought about synthesizing Killing techniques, earning money, and increasing his ether synchronization rate in the future, Fang Xingjian's gaze gradually locked onto a Killing technique.
