The group continued to advance, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at the Heavenly Waterfall Lake in the third stage. Looking at the Heavenly Waterfall descending from the sky, everyone's faces were filled with varying degrees of astonishment.
Hoppes sighed and said, "The work of the second generation Headmaster is still astonishing each time I look at it. This Heavenly Waterfall Lake is truly a work of uncanny workmanship, majestic and majestic."
However, Head of Department James had long since started laughing, "Hahahaha, there's no one again? To clear the entire Killing Techniques Palace within a day … Hahahaha, Hoppes, has there ever been such a person in the history of the Great Western Region's Regional Academy? "
"No." Hoppes shook his head and said, "It's not just the Great Western Region that hasn't had such a thing happen in the Empire's eight regions. Fang Xingjian is the first."
James nodded in satisfaction and said, "He must be learning the Lightless Sword in the fourth stage. Let's not disturb him and just wait for him here."
With that, James took the lead and sat down at the side of the Heavenly Waterfall Lake. It was as if he was admiring the scenery of the Heavenly Waterfall Lake.
The many Conferred Knights exchanged glances. One of them, a man with a scar on his face, frowned and said, "Sir, although Fang Xingjian is extremely talented and has outstanding talent, it's not good to let so many teachers and seniors wait for him here. It won't be a good influence, and he'll probably be terrified himself."
If one were to translate this, it would probably mean that they were giving Fang Xingjian too much face. By waiting for him like this, they were giving him face, but where were they going to put their faces?
It was a pity that Head of Department James did not care about his face at all. What a joke. The reason why he had become the Head of the Sword Arts Department was because he had taken a fancy to Fang Xingjian's talent. He had also wanted to persuade Fang Xingjian to reveal the seven levels of mysteries of the Pantheon Monument to the Regional Academy.
What seniority did James have? He was the Headmaster from two generations ago. At his age, it was no longer possible for him to have great improvements in his martial arts. What he cared about was his reputation, the academy's future, and the Empire's future.
Now that he saw Fang Xingjian's stunning performance once again, the latter had already become a delicious piece of juicy meat in his eyes. He could not help but have a thought in his mind, and that was to protect and escort Fang Xingjian.
Therefore, when he heard the knife-scarred man's words, he curled his lips and said, "If you were to clear the Killing Techniques Palace consecutively in a single day, I'll wait for you however long you want me to."
Scarface was embarrassed by his words and couldn't help but retort, "You can't just rely on learning speed to determine who's better, right? There are so many seniors here. Which one of them isn't above him in terms of level, strength, synchronization rate, fame, and status? "He was trying to drag the others along with him.
However, no one echoed his words. Instead, Head of Department James laughed coldly and said, "We are all martial artists. If we don't compete in martial arts, what should we compete in? Are you comparing who is older and who eats more? "
He sneered and said, "Why would the National Selection appear? It was to be able to select the most talented, and whoever was the most powerful would be selected. "Let me ask you this. Were any of you even half as amazing as Fang Xingjian when you were his age? "A seventeen-year-old genius … His rapid growth period is at least twenty to thirty years away. "By the time he reaches your age, what level will he be at?"
Regardless of whether it was Scarface or the other teachers, they were all rendered speechless at this moment. It was because the talent that Fang Xingjian had displayed was so unreasonable.
Head of Department James, who had unified his thoughts, nodded in satisfaction. Although Fang Xingjian's talent was amazing, it did not mean that everyone would listen to you or help you just because you were talented.
Even if the previous Pope had unrivalled battle prowess and was unrivalled in the world, it would still have been impossible for him to unify the world, much less get everyone to listen to him.
This was why James cherished talents and wanted to protect and escort Fang Xingjian.
Another teacher pointed to Hoult and the others in the distance and said, "Should we let them go?"
James threw a glance over and said calmly, "It doesn't matter."
In the distance, Hoult, Norman, and the others, who had been following James and the others, saw that James and the others had stopped.
One of the students asked curiously, "Why have they stopped here? What are they waiting for? "
Another student looked at the empty Heavenly Waterfall Lake and said, "Could it be that Fang Xingjian has already cleared the third stage?"
At the thought of this possibility, everyone fell silent.
Norman threw a glance at Hoult's furrowed brows and said with an awkward smile, "Look, aren't Lord James and the others waiting here? What does this mean? This means that based on their judgment, Fang Xingjian has yet to clear this stage. That's why they're waiting here. "
The more he said, the clearer his thoughts became, and his tone became more and more confident.
He continued to say, "What level is Lord James at? What sword arts cultivation does Master Hoppes have? Since they're waiting here, it must be because Fang Xingjian has yet to clear the third stage. That's why they're waiting here. "
His tone was filled with certainty, and everyone present nodded in agreement.
However, just then, someone said in a soft voice, "Maybe they're waiting for Fang Xingjian to come back from the fourth stage? There's no one guarding the last stage in the Killing Techniques Palace. "
Norman glared at the person who had spoken and said, "You're talking about the Headmaster from two generations ago, James. You're talking about the leader of the sword arts team, Hoppes, and so many teachers waiting here for a newbie like Fang Xingjian? Do you think that's possible? "
The person who had spoken also felt that it was not very possible and scratched his head in embarrassment.
However, Hoult's expression was still a little gloomy. Hearing everyone's guesses, he could not help but say, "Alright, let's not talk anymore. Let's just wait here."
Therefore, everyone sat down cross-legged and started to wait. They were waiting for the possibility that even they did not know the outcome.
Half an hour, one hour, about one hour and fifteen minutes later, everyone's faces were filled with a trace of impatience. At this moment, from the direction of a small path on the opposite side of the Heavenly Waterfall Lake, four figures slowly walked over.
They were Fang Xingjian, Rota, and the two students who had led the way.
James laughed out loud and led the others to welcome them. He asked with a hint of anticipation in his eyes, "Xingjian, you've passed the fourth stage in the Killing Techniques Palace?"
Seeing the sudden appearance of such a large group of people, as well as the solemn-looking teachers standing before them, the two students became nervous. They had never seen such a big line-up before. Almost half of the leaders of the Sword Arts Department were standing before them. What situation was this?
This was especially so for this old man who was unkempt and looked like a withered tree branch. Anyone who had participated in the Regional Selection and comprehended the Pantheon Monument would know that he was the academy's Headmaster from two generations ago.
And for so many people to appear here, there was only one possibility — Fang Xingjian.
The two of them turned to look at Fang Xingjian, their gazes filled with envy and jealousy.
This was especially so for Fang Xingjian, who was only seventeen years old. Right now, what everyone saw on his face was not youth and immaturity, but a bright future that shone brightly.
