The moment James entered, he said, "Why hasn't anyone managed to learn your Rebirth Sword Technique after half a month has passed?"
Fang Xingjian said calmly, "This is very normal. Before they prove the authenticity of the Rebirth Sword Technique, they won't send highly talented geniuses to spend time cultivating it. "Right now, the ones who are sent to verify the effects are definitely unimportant Knights. With their talent, it's normal for them to take one or two months before they can learn it. "My Rebirth Sword Technique is still a little difficult."
James shook his head. "You're really not nervous at all. You should know that you're under a lot of attack right now. Many people are calling you a liar." As he spoke, he sniffed and suddenly looked at the grilled fish on the table.
"What's this?"
"An all-fish banquet made from the Lightning Fish. There's still some Skinny Fish and grilled fish made from fish bones left. Do you want some?"
James chuckled and sat down. "Although this Lightning Fish isn't considered expensive, it'll still take some effort to get it. You really have a lot of good stuff."
Fang Xingjian smiled and also grabbed a piece of fish to eat. The Skinny Fish was very compact to begin with, and with the grilled sauce on it, it was a rare delicacy. The fish bones were crispy to begin with, and after being grilled, they had a special charred fragrance.
James said as he ate, "You haven't been to the Sword Tower much recently. Speaking of which, there's been a discovery there, but Hoppes doesn't have the time to study it. Recently, he's been focusing on the revamped Aerial Battle Sword Technique. Do you want to go take a look?"
Fang Xingjian frowned and asked, "What exactly is it? Before I master the Prodigious Demolition Sword, I don't want to be distracted by other things. "
"Your progress is already fast enough. It's good to relax a little." Head of Department James continued, "Moreover, the item discovered this time is not ordinary. It was salvaged from a sunken ship, and it seems to be an item from ancient times. No one has been able to identify the words in it, but it should contain a set of sword technique."
"Ancient Era? What era is that? " Hearing that he could not even recognize the words, Fang Xingjian immediately wanted to reject studying it. He did not have the time to study history.
However, James shook his head and said, "Didn't you take your cultural lessons seriously?"
"Do you think I have time?"
James pursed his lips and said, "The so-called ancient era is an era that was at least 2,000 years ago. It was an era full of mysteries and questions. Judging from the ruins that had been salvaged and explored, the ancient civilization was not bad. It might even have been stronger than it was now. However, due to a reason that has yet to be discovered, an unknown reason, the ancient era suddenly came to an end. Civilization weakened, and the various races and countries on the continent slowly developed. "
James sighed. "What happened in ancient times is still a mystery even now. However, what is certain is that the Martial Techniques of that time had been developed to the peak. Thus, excavating the Ancient Era's Remnants and obtaining the Ancient Era's Martial Techniques for research is very meaningful. "
Fang Xingjian had not expected that there would be such an ancient era in Miracle World.
He was a little curious about what was going on in the ancient times.
So he nodded and said, "Then I'll have to see it."
Therefore, after the two of them finished eating the Lightning Fish, they headed straight for the Sword Gauntlet. Both of them were superhumans, so how fast could they be? Like a gust of wind, they arrived at the entrance of the Sword Gauntlet in the blink of an eye.
James brought them to the depths of the Sword Gauntlet. In the center of the densely packed bookshelves, countless staff members were surrounding a metal board that was the height of a human, busying about.
It was a crimson red metal board that looked like it was burning with flames. From afar, there were many words and pictures on the metal board.
Around the metal board, groups of staff members were searching for information and measuring parameters.
Hoppes' disciple, Leon, the man who looked like a lion, was standing in the center, giving out instructions calmly.
"It's not the language of the previous dynasty."
"What about the minority races? Have you checked them out?"
"None of them. It's not the language of the north either. It doesn't match the Sand Country's either."
"The height and width have not changed, but the temperature has been changing. The highest is 120 degrees Celsius, and the lowest is 30 degrees Celsius."
"We've studied it based on the pictures. It should be a set of Killing sword technique."
"We've compared it to the size of an ordinary man's finger. The words and pictures on it should have been carved by fingers."
With James' arrival, everyone present lowered their heads in acknowledgment and then started to get busy again. Everyone seemed extremely excited, like cats who had smelled something fishy.
That was indeed the case. Compared to aimlessly searching for synthesis formulas or extracting cultivation methods from known sword techniques, it was easier to get excited about an ancient sword technique.
James walked to the front row, looked at the densely packed words on the metal board that was the height of a human, and asked, "How's the situation?"
"We haven't confirmed the source of the words, but we suspect that it has something to do with Westerners. We might need to invite a few Western masters over to assist in the research." Leon threw a slight glance at Fang Xingjian. Previously, he had been the one to check on Fang Xingjian's Nurturing sword technique, but now, it was his turn to report to Fang Xingjian. He continued, "However, Team Leader Hoppes doesn't plan on getting involved in this research for now. Therefore, we don't have the funds for it yet."
To continue the research and invite other masters … All sorts of investments would require money.
James nodded and looked toward Fang Xingjian. However, he discovered that Fang Xingjian had already opened his eyes and was staring at the Ancient Era's sword technique. Fang Xingjian's eyes were filled with astonishment and curiosity.
He nodded to himself, feeling that this project could be handed over to Fang Xingjian to be the leader.
However, just as he was about to speak, a burst of laughter rang out. A strange man with sword-like brows, starry eyes, and a head full of white hair walked in. He looked like an old man yet also a young man. The moment he appeared, everyone present became nervous.
"Senior James, long time no see."
"What senior? The Sword Saint's reputation in the Eastern Sand Region is much more resounding than mine." James smiled and introduced to Fang Xingjian, "Xingjian, this is the new sword arts master in our academy. He's Sasa from the Eastern Sand Region and is a grandmaster in sword arts. You'll have to learn from him."
Sasa shook his head and said, "Before Senior, how would I dare to mention anything about being a grandmaster?" He then turned his gaze toward the Ancient Era's sword technique, and a scorching glow flashed in his eyes. "I have some clues about this sword technique. I've once discovered a similar metal plate in the Eastern Sand Region. I'd like to take on this project."
A hint of conflict flashed in James' eyes as he looked toward Fang Xingjian.
Fang Xingjian turned a deaf ear to their conversation from the beginning to the end. His attention was completely attracted by the metal plate before him.
It was because he realized that he could read the words on it. It was because the words on it were known as Chinese characters in his world.
"Xin Country's Titular Authority, Special Operations Team Leader Lin Ling's masterpiece …"
