Hoppes had thought that after saying these words, Fang Xingjian would definitely bow down to him and willingly join his sword arts team.
He was currently the best in sword arts in the entire Regional Academy, the strongest sword arts professor. Any page of the research content of his sword arts team would be worth thousands of gold if sold. There were countless teachers who wished to join and study sword arts together with him, let alone the students.
He had been astonished by Fang Xingjian's talent, and his love for talent rose in his heart. This was why he had invited Fang Xingjian.
However, Fang Xingjian threw a glance at Hoppes and asked, "What's a sword arts team?"
Hoppes was stunned for a moment before recalling that Fang Xingjian was a new student. He explained casually, "Every senior teacher in the Regional Academy can receive a portion of the budget to research into some top-notch ether particles. "I specialize in sword arts, and my current research is in the direction of sword arts synthesis."
Saying this, he could not help but say proudly, "Currently, I've already developed three new synthesis formulas and obtained three sets of new second transition Killing techniques. In the past, I've also created a few sets of sword techniques myself."
Thinking of this, he became even more interested in Fang Xingjian. If Fang Xingjian's talent was really as outstanding as his performance and he was able to pick up sword techniques so quickly, it would be a great help to his research on sword arts synthesis.
Fang Xingjian nodded in understanding. He knew that not everyone had such monstrous talent like him. The speed at which people picked up Killing techniques was slow, and the success rate of synthesis was not 100%. Therefore, there would naturally be people who would deduce the possible synthesis results based on the various information and principles of sword arts.
With so many Killing techniques, it would be impossible for ordinary Conferred Knights to synthesize all of them. Even for level 29 Conferred Knights who had a 100% success rate, how long would it take for them to cultivate a set of Killing technique to the maximum level? It would take them at least half a year or even a year. How would they be able to know the synthesis results of each Killing technique?
Moreover, after two Killing techniques were synthesized, they might become stronger. However, not every synthesis would be suitable for the cultivator. Therefore, it was extremely important to know the synthesis results in advance.
It was just like how the many ultimate Killing techniques of the Ancient Path of Hell were all synthesized through the accumulation of various synthesis formulas.
Unparalleled and powerful Killing techniques were all developed bit by bit just like that.
This was why there were sword arts teams like Hoppes'. Relying on their profound theories, deep understanding of sword arts, as well as their research on the two sets of primitive sword techniques, they would deduce the synthesis results in advance and find the most outstanding one. They would then get others to try it out, hoping to create a newer and more powerful Killing technique.
This was much better than trying to find a needle in a haystack.
However, Fang Xingjian did not need to study such things. He only needed to learn the Regional Academy's Killing techniques by himself. Getting people to study him was not asking for trouble.
He also knew that with his current abilities, if he were to enter Hoppes' sword arts team, he would definitely be treated as a research subject. His time would also be controlled by Hoppes, and how would this fit in with his plans?
Therefore, he shook his head and said, "Not interested." With that, he left, leaving Hoppes with his back view.
Hoppes had been waiting for Fang Xingjian to join excitedly, but he had not expected him to just leave like that. Hoppes was not angry, but he was in a daze, as if he could not react.
Other than the Sacred Land and the level 29 armor, Fang Xingjian had also confirmed all the rewards for the Regional Selection. Therefore, he headed to the Regional Academy's library to look up information related to the second transition.
He asked for directions along the way and arrived before a huge stone castle. The entire stone castle looked like a castle from the Middle Ages, filled with all sorts of complicated carvings, prints, and statues.
This was the Regional Academy's library, guarded by three Conferred Knights all year round. It contained countless powerful secret manuals and top secret information, and only students and teachers of the Regional Academy could enter.
It was just like the Shaolin Temple's Sutra Depository in wuxia novels.
Fang Xingjian walked up to the stone castle and saw a huge wooden sign erected there. The wooden sign was five meters tall and half a meter thick, and there were many names carved on it.
This was the ranking of the Regional Academy's students. During each National Selection, only the top ten Conferred Knights would be able to participate in it.
Fang Xingjian lifted his head and looked at the first name on the list, Odysseus, and the second name was Hildebrand. Fang Xingjian continued to scan through the long list, stopping at the 55th place.
Fang Xingjian continued scanning and saw that his name was in the 56th place. Fang Xingjian, together with Anderson, Hoult, and the others, were all ranked in the last ten.
This meant that there were originally 55 students in the Regional Academy, and with the addition of their cohort, there were 65 of them.
The reason why there was such a ranking was because of some of the Regional Academy's systems.
The Regional Academy was different from Kirst Royal Academy. Firstly, there was no concept of classes. Every week, they would arrange various classes, and each student would be free to choose which classes they wanted to attend. Moreover, every year, there would be an examination for each class, and the results of the examinations would determine the amount of credits one would receive each year. Only when one's credits reached a certain amount would they be able to continue their studies in the academy.
Secondly, all the examinees would have a ranking. For example, when Fang Xingjian and the others had just enrolled, they would be ranked last.
Students who were ranked lower could challenge students who were ranked higher. After defeating them, they would be able to take over their opponent's ranking. The challenged student and all the other students behind him would automatically be pushed back by one place.
Of course, there were also requirements for such challenges. Each examinee could only challenge a maximum of five times a year, and they could only accept a challenge once a week. Moreover, they were not allowed to reject challenges.
Fang Xingjian casually scanned through the rankings and entered the library. He had to make the best use of his time to look up information on job transitions.
After flashing his Knight emblem to the guard at the entrance, Fang Xingjian entered the library. The entire library was split into three floors, and each floor had over ten rows of bookshelves.
The books on the first and second floors could be freely read, but the third floor was filled with all sorts of secret manuals on Killing techniques. One would need to make a special application in order to gain access to them.
However, Fang Xingjian's current goal was the second transition, and he was not here to learn new Killing techniques. Therefore, there was no need for him to go to the third floor.
As only students and teachers could come here, there were very few people in the library, and it was also very quiet. After Fang Xingjian entered, no one looked at him. He followed the rows of signs in the library and found the information that introduced second transition jobs.
The books here were obviously taken care of all year round. All the books were categorized into different categories, and it was the same for second transition jobs. They were categorized according to strength, agility, endurance, reaction, flexibility, and many other attributes.
Clearly, for different categories, the growth of their attributes and the requirements for their attributes would all be different.
Fang Xingjian picked up a book that introduced the agility-type second transition jobs and started reading it.
He spent the entire night reading, and over ten books introducing the agility-type second transition jobs were 'read' by him one by one.
Thankfully, he had attained Heaven's Perception. Otherwise, he would not have been able to read them at all.
It was only when the sky was bright that he let out a breath and closed the last book. Countless second transition jobs flashed through his mind, and he started to think about which one he should choose.
