Hearing Fang Xingjian's words, everyone fell silent.
Fang Xingjian had just been selected into the Regional Academy this year, but he was already thinking of participating in the next year's National Selection.
What would happen in the next year's National Selection? That was a level 30 Divine Remains Equipment that would also be treated as a reward, and it would affect the Regional Academy's budget. Countless experts of the new generation and old monsters would come forth to fight for the first place.
How intense would the next year's National Selection be? Even if one were to think with their toes, they would know that it would probably be the most intense National Selection in decades.
And to think that Fang Xingjian, a guy who had just become a Conferred Knight, was thinking of participating in the National Selection one year later.
When the people present heard Fang Xingjian's words, their first thought was that Fang Xingjian had gone mad. If he was not mad, then he was too arrogant, too arrogant, and did not know the immensity of heaven and earth.
Hoult, Norman, and the others looked at Fang Xingjian as if they were looking at a lunatic.
Just as everyone thought that Head of Department James would refute Fang Xingjian's arrogant words, James said after some deliberation, "There's not much time left until next year's National Selection. If I were to calculate it carefully, there's only a few days left, right? "This year's National Selection will also be very intense. Without being at the pinnacle of level 29, it'll be impossible for you to get into the top ten. "Xingjian, with your talent, you'll be able to accumulate your strength for another four years and participate in the next National Selection. I guarantee that you'll be able to get first place in that year's National Selection."
However, Fang Xingjian was unmoved, and Rota, who was at the side, was so anxious that her eyes were about to emit flames.
Fang Xingjian said, "I'll definitely participate in the next National Selection, and I must get first place in it."
James rolled his eyes. He had wanted to continue persuading Fang Xingjian, but he suddenly thought of the mechanism of the National Selection. He immediately smiled and said, "Xingjian, it's not up to us to decide whether we can participate in the National Selection or not. The purpose of the National Selection is to select the top ten existences. As long as you get into the top ten of the academy, you'll have to participate in the National Selection even if you don't want to. We'll naturally support the students who participate in the National Selection. "
James's words were very clear. As long as Fang Xingjian could enter the top ten in the academy, he would naturally be able to participate in the National Selection. They would also support Fang Xingjian.
Therefore, regardless of whether Fang Xingjian's goal was the National Selection or not, all he needed to do was to strengthen himself and defeat the students from the Regional Academy.
Hoppes added, "Xingjian, if you join my sword arts team, all the Killing techniques and sword techniques we've collected will be open to you. You'll be able to ceaselessly cultivate sword techniques, synthesize them, and increase your abilities."
Fang Xingjian nodded and said, "If I can freely arrange my time after joining the group, then I will join."
"Of course." Hoppes smiled. With the talent that Fang Xingjian had displayed today, even if he were to just cultivate the sword techniques in the group, he would be able to greatly increase the progress of the entire group's research. It was because he was a very fast learner.
Fang Xingjian gave it some thought and then said to Head of Department James, "Recently, I'm going to publish a book and I'm afraid that I'll encounter some policy restrictions. I hope that you can help me choose a side."
"Publishing a book? Publishing a book is a good thing. With your sword arts standards, it's true that you can publish a book. It's fine, I'll help you personally. I also know many schools, so I'll get them to use your book for their lessons."
Just as Fang Xingjian, James, and Hoppes continued chatting and even started to talk about the research project, the people around them gradually realized that they were unable to understand what they were saying.
Norman was not a sword cultivator to begin with, and as he listened to their conversation, the perplexity in his eyes grew.
At the start, Hoult tried his best to understand, but very soon, he was unable to keep up with their train of thought. He slowly backed off and headed outside.
Norman followed behind him and asked, "Aren't you going to listen to what they have to say?"
"There's nothing good to listen to. I'm going to cultivate the Thunderbolt Sword Technique." Thinking of Fang Xingjian's talent and learning speed, Hoult felt an unprecedented sense of urgency.
At the same time, an idea appeared in his mind.
'If you're going to participate in next year's National Selection, then I'm going to participate as well. Why should I, Hoult, be inferior to you? '
'Is it so great just because you're a little more talented?'
Thinking of how Fang Xingjian was being surrounded by Head of Department James, Head of Department Hoppes, and many other teachers, Hoult's expression darkened even more.
James continued, "Xingjian, how about this? Since you've joined the sword arts team to research sword arts, then I'll have to give you some research funds. I'll give you 50,000 yuan first. Use it sparingly. When you come up with new results, I'll give you more money."
A teacher could not help but say, "Head of Department, this year's budget has already been prepared. Where would we get the extra 50,000?"
"Wouldn't we just have to squeeze a little?" James said, blowing on his beard, "With Xingjian's talent, even if it's just the simple cultivation of Killing techniques, he'll be able to get a lot of results. "How can our academy not support such a talent? "Calculate the money first. If it's not enough, I'll just ask Devitt (Governor) for more."
Hearing Head of Department James's words, everyone present was secretly excited. This was the benefit of having a high seniority. A Head of Department like James, who could just barge into the Governor's office to ask for money, was someone everyone would want to cozy up to.
Thinking of the 50,000 gold, Fang Xingjian heaved a sigh of relief. With that, he was only halfway to the 100,000 gold required to cultivate the first level of the mystical prints.
The few of them then discussed the specific arrangements for the research. Every week, Fang Xingjian would report to the Sword Tower where the sword arts team was located. He would be able to choose the projects that he was interested in to participate in, and he would also be able to freely read through the Killing techniques that all the teams had collected.
After the discussion, Fang Xingjian returned to the training room in the Sacred Land and continued his cultivation.
The news of him clearing four stages in the Killing Techniques Palace in a single day should have gradually spread and started to spread. He believed that Ferdinand would make good use of the time to help him create hype and sell his books.
Right now, he needed to make good use of the time to cultivate his sword arts. After all, he now had the Ninety Thousand Godly Demon Flash, the Thunderbolt Sword Technique, the Mountain Shifting Sword, the Aquatic Sword Formation, and the Lightless Sword — a total of five Killing techniques. He needed to work hard on cultivating all of them and synthesize them into his own sword techniques.
At the very least, he would not lack Killing techniques to cultivate for the next one or two months.
First was the Ninety Thousand Godly Demon Flash. Fang Xingjian worked hard on cultivating this set of sword technique, striving to bring it to the maximum level as soon as possible and then synthesize it into his current techniques.
It was during these few days that Fang Xingjian had been cultivating that many peddlers pushing carts with books started to appear in the streets and alleys of the Great Western City.
They would often appear outside the various academies, at the gates of the various aristocratic academies, dojos, and Knight academies. Seeing the endless stream of Knight apprentices coming and going, they would start selling their books loudly.
In the north of the Great Western City, in a school known as the Five Star Aristocratic Academy, which had a long history and had produced countless Knights, Lilia was sweating profusely as she practiced her sword arts seriously.
Right now, Lilia was wearing a set of training clothes with short sleeves and shorts. She had a small and muscular figure, but she did not give off a scary feeling. Instead, coupled with her tanned skin, cute face, and twin ponytails, she gave off a healthy and lively feeling.
Moreover, her face was very beautiful and exquisite to begin with. As she trained in the training grounds, she attracted everyone's gazes.
