Hearing that, Fang Xingjian threw an indifferent glance at Gardner and said, "You're not convinced?"
Of course, Gardner knew how terrifying the Martial Techniques Grading Plan was. It was a huge piece of juicy meat. If he were to take a slice of such a big cake, it would be impossible for no one to look for him. He was not a Divine level expert, nor was he a prince. How could others just watch as he took a share of the money?
Such an arrogant attitude to others naturally infuriated the Knight of the Rising Sun, Gardner.
He squinted his eyes, revealing a cold gleam as he said word by word, "With your qualifications, experience, and sword mastery, you're not qualified to lead a part of the Martial Techniques Grading Plan. I'm not only here to discuss this plan with you, but also to test if you're qualified to lead. "Today, I've seen that you're really just a young and arrogant genius. Young man, in this world, it's not the person who speaks loudly or has an arrogant attitude who is right."
Hearing that, Devitt and the others frowned, feeling secretly displeased. However, the archbishop continued to smile, as if he did not see this scene at all.
Fang Xingjian said calmly, "Not everyone can see the bearing of a grandmaster. A worm in the summer will not be able to discuss ice with him, and a frog in a well will not be able to discuss the sea with him. "If one's cultivation isn't high enough, it's only natural that they won't be able to tell."
In that instant, a cold gleam shone in Gardner's eyes. If this was not the Great Western City, he would probably have made a move to teach Fang Xingjian a lesson on the spot. After all, according to the intelligence, Fang Xingjian had just completed his job transition half a year ago and was about level 25 or 26. Fang Xingjian had the battle prowess to defeat a level 27 Conferred Knight, but how could he possibly be a match for Gardner?
As for how Fang Xingjian had defeated Sword Saint Sasa and pushed back the Terrene Shrine's army of dragon beasts, only Yaris, James, Governor Devitt, and a few others knew about this.
However, Gardner did not make a move. He merely laughed and said, "I won't fight a verbal battle with you. It's fine if you wish to join the Martial Techniques Grading Plan, but you'll have to get past me first. "
"Get past you?" Fang Xingjian sneered and said, "Then get the Vatican to send someone else to negotiate."
Gardner held his breath and looked at Fang Xingjian with an increasingly hostile gaze. As a member of the Holy Judgment Court of the Holy See of Truth, and the Holy See of Truth was the strongest influence in the entire world, Gardner was already over thirty years old and had already gone through the second transition to level 29. Wherever he went, he would be the center of attention and would be treated as an absolutely important character.
When had he ever met someone as crazy as Fang Xingjian?
"Young man, I don't like the way you speak." He looked at Fang Xingjian and said coldly, "When you're young, you should be more spirited and have the drive to improve, but don't be blindly arrogant. When I was your age, I also thought that I was unique and the best. But after a few years, you will realize how ridiculous this idea is. I'm telling you this right now. I hope you'll think about it when you go back today. "
Fang Xingjian said, "You'd better get straight to the point. What do you want?"
Gardner shook his head and looked at Fang Xingjian with a regretful gaze. It was as if he was looking at a genius who had gone down the wrong path. "Let's test the speed at which we pick up sword techniques together."
"Test the speed at which we pick up sword techniques?" Fang Xingjian asked.
Gardner said, "That's right. You can offer two sword techniques for me to learn, and I'll offer two sword techniques for you to learn. Let's see who learns faster. "The most important aspect of the Martial Techniques Grading Plan is one's learning ability and comprehension of sword techniques. If one's learning ability is strong enough, and if one's comprehension of sword techniques is deep enough, they will be able to evaluate a sword technique's level faster. "And with my level and talent, I'm probably not even in the top 100 in the Vatican. If you can't even win against me, then there's naturally no need for you to participate in the plan." As he spoke, his gaze was filled with strong confidence.
Fang Xingjian's lips twitched. Who had he ever been afraid of when it came to the speed at which they picked up sword techniques? Fang Xingjian said directly, "What if I win?"
"If you win, then I'll naturally support your participation in the Martial Techniques Grading Plan."
With that, Fang Xingjian then looked toward the archbishop, who was smiling like Santa Claus. "I have no objections. If Xingjian can win against Gardner in this aspect, then it means that your sword arts cultivation is astonishing and your understanding of sword techniques far surpasses that of ordinary people. You're a suitable candidate for the Martial Techniques Grading Plan."
Fang Xingjian then looked toward Governor Devitt. Devitt gave it some thought and said, "It's fine. You can just use the sword techniques from our academy. Gardner, you can use the sword techniques from the Vatican. You just have to guarantee that you won't impart them to others after learning them."
"Then let's begin."
Gardner frowned and said, "Aren't you going to ask what will happen if you lose?"
Fang Xingjian said calmly, "There's nothing to ask. It's impossible for me to lose."
Hearing that, Gardner laughed coldly in his heart. He pointed to Fang Xingjian and said, "Alright, but I'll still have to let you know beforehand in case you go back on your word. "If you lose, you'll have to give up on participating in the Martial Techniques Grading Plan. Is there a problem?"
"You're so annoying. Let's begin."
Seeing how arrogant Fang Xingjian was, Gardner looked down on him even more. To him, Fang Xingjian was just a person who had grown up in a small place and relied on his talent to achieve results. In the end, he ended up being extremely arrogant.
'What a foolish fellow. Your horizons have determined your achievements. It's not something you can imagine how deep the waters in this world are. To think that you can be so arrogant just because of your little talent … It's only a matter of time before you get into big trouble.'
Thinking of this, Gardner even felt a hint of resentment toward the Holy Orison. Why had he recommended such a person to join the Martial Techniques Grading Plan?
At the side, James, Governor Devitt, and Fang Xingjian started communicating through information currents.
Governor Devitt said worriedly, "Xingjian, the other party won't do something that he has no confidence in. I think we should forget about it. We'll just let Lord Holy Orison stand up for us in the future."
"That's right." James also tried to persuade him, "That Gardner seems too confident. I'm afraid that he might have used some underhanded means."
The entire Martial Techniques Grading Plan involved the flow of over hundreds of millions or even billions of gold. It was a massive project that spanned across countries.
When it came to Fang Xingjian, even if there was only 1% of it, it would still be a huge sum of millions or tens of millions of gold. James and Governor Devitt had no choice but to be careful.
Moreover, with such a huge sum of money, Gardner would naturally only bring up the idea of a competition if he had full confidence.
Fang Xingjian shook his head and said, "Don't worry. In terms of learning sword arts, no one will be able to surpass me."
Fang Xingjian then casually found two sets of sword techniques from the Killing techniques in the library and wrote them down on a piece of paper. Gardner did the same, writing down two sets of sword techniques on a piece of paper.
Seeing how casual Fang Xingjian was, Gardner laughed coldly in his heart.
He lowered his head and looked at the two sets of sword techniques on the paper. 'Twilight Sword Technique and Templar Sword Technique?'
At the next moment, he closed his eyes, and a faint white light shone from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. At the next moment, a book that was emitting white light appeared in his hands.
He pressed his palm on the cover of the book and let out a soft shout. The book moved on its own and flipped through the pages. When it stopped, the information about the Twilight Swordsmanship and the Templar Swordsmanship slowly appeared before him.
Numbers started to jump up on his Stats Window. Twilight Sword Technique 1%... 2%... 3%!
Level 8 Universal Truth Divine Art, Akashic Martial Techniques Manual.
Governor Devitt and Head of Department James frowned. They both had a bad premonition as they looked at the strange sight before them.
However, the archbishop smiled and said, "This is the divine art that Gardner obtained after his ether synchronization rate reached 100% and he prayed to the gods — Akashic Martial Techniques Manual. "The God of Universal Truth knows everything about the entire world and the entire universe, and the Akashic Martial Techniques Manual records all the martial techniques in the past and future. Gardner can spend half an hour every day to learn three martial techniques to the maximum level from the manual. Although he cannot impart them and will forget them the next day, it is still a miraculous power.
"This is the greatness of the gods." The archbishop looked at Fang Xingjian, who seemed to be in a daze, and said, "God of Universal Truth, everything was born from you, and everything was nurtured by you."
Head of Department James said in astonishment, "Why haven't I heard of such a divine art before?"
The archbishop smiled and said, "The God of Universal Truth knows everything in this world. The divine arts that he can impart are naturally things that we will never be able to learn even if we spend our entire lives. Gardner's faith touched the gods during an exchange with them. That's why he was bestowed with this divine art. "
