"Is there really a need to prove whether the Rebirth Sword Technique is harmful or not?" Hoppes shook his head. "This is just an excuse. Since someone has pushed for the first step, there will naturally be someone who will push for the subsequent events.
"Do you know? This is the first time I've seen the Rebirth Sword Technique. What I saw was not only excitement but also fear.
"If the Rebirth Sword Technique is real, then with a ten times increase in potential, how much would all the Knights, Conferred Knights, and Knight apprentices receive? "If it's real, then what about the Nurturing sword techniques of the other factions? What would the factions do? Give up on their Nurturing sword techniques? Then would they still have apprentices? Not give up? Then would their apprentices be surpassed by the Empire? "And what would the government think when faced with the people of the middle and lower levels, as well as the Knights and Knight apprentices who are about to receive a great leap in their abilities? "Do they really hope for the factions to grasp this sword technique as well? Had the Church of Universal Truth also grasped this sword technique? Do they really hope for their subordinates to improve by leaps and bounds, for the apprentices who are not part of the system to improve as well? "
By the time Hoppes said this, Leon's back was already drenched in sweat. "You're saying that this time around, this time around, we're going up against …"
Hoppes merely stood up and looked at the people outside, saying, "500 years ago, in order to forbid commoners from cultivating martial arts, the Uzbekistan Empire even spread the theory that cultivating martial arts would lead to premature aging. "200 years ago, in order to develop tobacco, the Northern Trade Association spread the fallacy that tobacco could increase one's attributes. "The right to speak in this world has always been controlled by the strong, unless there's an even stronger person who can break their restrictions."
"But since that's the case, why would the association publish the Rebirth Sword Technique in the Knight's handbook?"
Hoppes laughed out loud. "It's because they don't believe it. They know how amazing the Rebirth Sword Technique is, but they don't believe that it has ten times the efficiency and 5,000 potential points. Who would believe that? "And the fact that it has reached such a level means that there's already someone in the central who has mastered the Rebirth Sword Technique."
"But Teacher, why are you doing this? If His Majesty and the other factions' Sect Leaders aren't prepared to accept the Rebirth Sword Technique, then … "
"They should accept it," Hoppes said calmly. Hoppes said calmly, "I only hope that the Empire's new generation can cultivate the most outstanding sword techniques. I hope that all the powerful martial skills can be popularized and not be in the hands of a small group of people. I wish that when I started practicing sword arts at the age of five, I would have been able to practice such a sword art. "
"Does Xingjian know?"
"He doesn't need to know."
On the other side, Fang Xingjian opened the door to the research lab and walked in. He saw that most of Sasa's subordinates had already fallen asleep. They were too tired and only slept for one or two hours every day. Working around the clock to help Sasa analyze the ancient characters had overloaded their brains, and their energy had been depleted.
Sasa saw Fang Xingjian coming in and forced a smile. "You're here? Then we're leaving. You can continue. "
When Sasa passed by Fang Xingjian, he heard Fang Xingjian say softly, "If I tell you the secret of the dragon's scale, will you stop?"
Sasa's footsteps paused, and at the next moment, he asked puzzledly, "What secret? What do you mean by stopping?"
Fang Xingjian smiled and said, "It's nothing. Speaking of which, my research has also reached a bottleneck. I reckon that in the end, you'll still be the one to successfully analyze the dragon's scale."
Sasa led his subordinates out of the research lab. As he walked along the corridor, his gaze suddenly narrowed. 'This guy is already suspecting me? But it's useless now. I've only pushed forward the first step. Even if I wanted to stop now, I can't. 'The problem with the Rebirth Sword Technique? 'His greatest problem is that he's too outstanding. Things that are ten years ahead will be sought after, but things that are 100 years ahead will only be suppressed by the current influences. 'They won't allow this power to be grasped by apprentices and factions. 'As for factions … If apprentices are the foundation, then the Rebirth Sword Technique is digging up their roots.'
In the research lab, Fang Xingjian watched as Sasa left slowly and thought coldly to himself, 'Could it be him?'
Fang Xingjian had thought that the person who had threatened him was someone from the Sand Country, and that their target was the Heavenly Abyss Annihilation Armor he was wearing. However, when he saw Sasa, he suddenly recalled that Sasa had been staying at the borders of the Sand Country all year round, fighting against the Sand Country's experts.
Although it was impossible for Fang Xingjian to see through a person's heart, a level 21 Conferred Knight would be able to see a person's brain waves and emotions.
If one did not know the inside story, they would definitely not understand what Fang Xingjian meant when he said that he wanted to keep the secret and stop. Fang Xingjian had not even told the Governor and Hoppes about the matter of 'threatening to go to the Sand Country'. He had only told them about his internal injuries.
When Fang Xingjian said this, he had clearly seen ecstasy, greed, and nervousness from Sasa. Although these emotions had disappeared completely in the blink of an eye, and Sasa had also replied that he did not know, Fang Xingjian suddenly realized that Sasa was also very suspicious of him being the mastermind behind this.
'To think that he would go to such an extent for the sake of an Ancient Era's sword technique.
'But he's disguised himself as someone from the Sand Country. Even if I suspect that it's him, there's no way for me to prove it.
'Moreover, I'm only suspecting it. It might not be him.'
Fang Xingjian could tell that even with Sasa's status as a level 29 expert, he would definitely have to pay a great price to push and accelerate these things. Moreover, by doing this, he would at most be able to stop Fang Xingjian, but it would not be of any help to his own research.
'Interesting. Could it be that the Heaven's Volition Sword Intent still has some secrets that I don't know about?'
After all, Fang Xingjian was not a native of the Empire. He had not expected how great of an impact the Rebirth Sword Intent would have on the entire Empire.
He put out his hand to touch the dragon's scale, and he could sense a sharp aura gushing toward him.
Sword intent was formless and intangible, and when it entered one's body, it was an indescribable feeling. It could only be said that the waves of piercing pain and slicing sensation allowed Fang Xingjian to ascertain that there was indeed something that had come into contact with his body. Even the level 29 Superior Divine Weapon, the Heavenly Abyss Annihilation Armor, was unable to fend it off.
Fang Xingjian could sense that there seemed to be something flowing in his consciousness.
'Do you want these sword techniques?'
'If you do, then come and get them.'
'As long as you lend me your powers, you can have any sword techniques you want.'
Fang Xingjian then continued to send out the information about the Rebirth Sword Intent bit by bit, continuing to tempt the Heaven's Volition Sword Intent in the dragon's scale.
A few hours passed by, and the sword intent grew increasingly restless. It was like a snake, coiling around Fang Xingjian's body. However, it was guarding its bottom line, refusing to enter Fang Xingjian's body completely.
Finally, Fang Xingjian's countenance turned grim, and he sent out all the information about the Rebirth Sword Intent. He then sent out another stream of Ether Sword Ripples, slashing onto the dragon's scale.
'My talent in sword arts is the best in the world. If you want sword arts, I'm the best choice.'
Sensing the endless greed, hunger, and other desires coming from the dragon's scale, Fang Xingjian laughed out loud and said, "Come on, as long as you lend me your powers, I can lend you any sword techniques you want. As long as I'm still alive, I'll definitely become the world's strongest swordsman and create the world's strongest sword technique. If you want it, then come over."
