"Oh, the Dark Knight is here?" Fang Xingjian's eyes lit up as he thought of that powerful figure who had once appeared in the sky above the Regional Selection's arena. It was the First Prince's most valiant general, a second transition level 29 Knight at the pinnacle. Even amongst the level 29 experts, he was considered to be in the second tier, only slightly weaker than the First Prince's Conferred Knights who were aiming for the Divine level.
"What a good opponent." Fang Xingjian stood up, and streams of sword light flashed in the air. The surrounding walls continued to shatter, and Zhou Xingwen felt his heart twitching violently. He looked at Fang Xingjian and could not help but say, "Xingjian, the Dark Knight is the Empire's Conferred Knight, and he's being controlled by the First Prince's clone. We mustn't start a battle so easily."
Fang Xingjian did not care so much, and the corners of his lips curled up into an excited smile. After taking a few steps forward, he frowned and said, "That's not right. Why would the Dark Knight come so openly? Hmm? Could it be that place? I had wanted to wait for a while longer, but it seems that I'll have to meet him first. "
Zhou Xingwen asked puzzledly, "Xingjian, who are you talking about?" However, after asking for a while, he did not hear any sound. He lifted his head in puzzlement and saw that there was nothing before him. Fang Xingjian had disappeared without him knowing.
This method of appearing and disappearing like a ghost made Zhou Xingwen's heart palpitate even more.
He walked out, puzzled, and thought about what Fang Xingjian had said earlier, 'Attract attention? Could it be … No matter what, I'll have to take precautions. '
Thinking of this, he headed for Anderson's room. This was a Conferred Knight who had been running errands for Fang Xingjian just like him. Over the past few months, Anderson had become very familiar with this Conferred Knight. Although he did not like Anderson's arrogance, Fang Xingjian only had two Conferred Knights under him.
…
In the dungeon, Sword Saint Sasa's body was still engulfed, surrounded, and suppressed by metal. It was as if he had been filled with cement, and he was unable to move.
Despite this, the blood in his body continued to seethe incessantly like a great river, emitting rumbling sounds.
With an ether particle density of 1% and without eating or drinking, his body's condition was even better than before!
Above his chest, there was a mass of blood-red liquid. This mass of liquid was like Sword Saint Sasa's second heart, pulsating along with his heart. Traces of red constantly dripped down from the pulsating liquid and fused with Sword Saint Sasa's heart. Then, following the blood flow throughout his body, his body became stronger and stronger.
Sword Saint Sasa's lips curled up slightly as he sensed his body's continuous strengthening. He recalled the scenes of this period of time.
…
That day, Sword Saint Sasa continued to absorb the energy from ether particles as per usual, reducing the depletion of his body's circulation. However, just then, a stream of information flowed into his mind.
"Sasa, do you want to go out?"
Sasa's heart skipped a beat. Although he really wanted to leave this dungeon that never saw the light of day, he still suppressed his excitement and replied, "Who are you?"
"I'm the First Prince's man." The other party went straight to the point. "Without my help, you can forget about leaving the Great Western City. Do you want to stay here for the rest of your life, watching as your body gradually decays, or do you want to follow the First Prince, build up your achievements, leave your name in history, and even step into the true Divine level?"
"Haha, Divine level? The First Prince himself isn't even at the Divine level. How can he talk about helping others to step into the Divine level? "
That voice said coldly, "How can you understand the First Prince's wisdom? His Highness cultivates the Thirty-six Hell's Maps and wishes to reach an unprecedented realm. Not only does he want to transform into 36 top notch Conferred Knights, but he also wants to push all of these Conferred Knights to the Divine level. "
"What? He wants to push all 36 Conferred Knights to the Divine level? " Hearing this news, Sword Saint Sasa felt that it was extremely ridiculous. "What does he think the Divine level is? That it can be mass-produced?"
"Hmph, to forcefully open up an unprecedented path when there's no other path to take, this is the First Prince's boldness." That person continued, "Moreover, the First Prince's background is so deep that it's not something you can imagine."
Sasa did not reply and merely smiled coldly. It was true that staying in the dungeon was a life of total darkness. However, if he were to go out and sign the Hell's Map, he would not be able to control his own life and death.
That voice did not say anything else and disappeared not long after.
However, a week later, that person came over to ask about it again.
Just like that, that person would occasionally come to visit Sasa and tell him about the situation in the outside world.
And as the time he spent in the dungeon grew longer, Sasa's emotions grew increasingly irritated.
This was especially so when the other party brought news about Fang Xingjian. Sasa became even more irritated.
'Ten million? A single Wave sold for ten million? ' Sasa's face contorted, and his eyes seemed as if they were going to spew fire. 'How corrupt! The country's money has entered Fang Xingjian's pockets just like that! These people really deserve to die. '
"Haha, how is it? With Fang Xingjian's current progress, it probably won't be long before he'll be able to surpass you. Aren't you anxious? It's ten million gold! How many heavenly and earthly treasures can he buy? How much can he raise his abilities? "
Sasa did not reply to the other party's question. Instead, his countenance became increasingly savage. Fury, vengeance, and jealousy were like a snake, engulfing his heart incessantly.
Then for the next month or so, the other party did not come again.
It had been an entire month without any news from the other party. Moreover, he had been in this dark dungeon. Every minute and every second felt so long, causing him to feel increasingly irritated.
If it were in the past, with Sword Saint Sasa's cultivation, he would definitely not be like this. However, the failure of the Heaven's Volition Sword Intent, his failure against Fang Xingjian, as well as Fang Xingjian's repeated successes... Their effects had all been magnified in this dark dungeon.
If it were an ordinary person, they would have long since gone crazy in a state of complete darkness with nothing around them.
Although Sasa had persevered for a very long time, he had only gotten increasingly irritated and uneasy. However, the people sent by the First Prince sped up this process, causing his mental state to become even more unbalanced.
Finally, a few days ago, when the other party came once again, Sasa finally agreed to join the First Prince's side.
"Haha, Sasa, you won't regret this."
At the next moment, hints of red liquid seeped through the metal and flowed into his body.
"This is the fresh blood of a Divine level ferocious beast. Moreover, it's not ordinary blood. It's the blood essence that ferocious beasts condense for their descendants. Even they can't condense it casually. It contains Divine level powers. "Absorb it well and integrate it into your body. It'll be able to push your abilities forward once again. "If you can absorb all of it, you'll be able to increase your potential by at least ten million points. You'll also be able to cultivate the heavenly thunders and terrestrial magnetism forces in your body to the limits below the Divine level, allowing your body's toughness to reach the level of a level 29 Superior Divine Weapon. With that, breaking out of this dungeon will be nothing."
Sensing the drops of fresh blood seeping into his body, Sasa's heart trembled furiously. "Divine level ferocious beast's blood essence … To think that the First Prince has something like this?"
