Hearing Gardner's words, the countenances of both Governor Devitt and Head of Department James turned a little grim.
Ferdinand said directly, "Hmph, you're not going to admit it after losing? Based on what you said, as long as Xingjian learns faster than you, it means that he has learned it before."
"Then have you ever heard of anyone cultivating the Universal Truth Longsword to such a level within a few minutes? There has never been such a person throughout history. " Gardner said coldly, "Other than the fact that he has learned the Universal Truth Longsword in the past, I can't think of any other explanation."
The archbishop nodded slightly. Fang Xingjian's performance was too astonishing. It was impossible for him to cultivate the Universal Truth Longsword to such a level within a few minutes.
Just then, the Darkness Domain gradually dissipated, and Fang Xingjian stopped practicing the Universal Truth Longsword. The Universal Truth Longsword in his Stats Window was now at level 40. The attacking prowess of this sword technique was not strong, and it was not of much help to the Zenith Light Sword Formation, Ether Sword Ripples, and Prodigious Demolition Sword Physique.
However, it possessed extremely strong defensive prowess. Therefore, Fang Xingjian did not plan on synthesizing this set of sword technique before he reached level 29. Instead, he kept it for defense.
With that, Fang Xingjian set up the Zenith Light Sword Formation for long-distance attacks, the Ether Sword Ripples for medium to short distance support, the Prodigious Demolition Sword Physique for close combat, and the Universal Truth Longsword for defense. He had completely perfected his current three-dimensional battle structure.
After consolidating the sword theories in his mind, Fang Xingjian turned to look at Gardner and said, "You're not going to admit it?"
Gardner's countenance turned grim as he stared at Fang Xingjian and said, "Fang Xingjian, to be able to learn the Universal Truth Longsword within a few minutes and even cultivate it to such a level... Are you trying to bluff a fool?" At this moment, Gardner could only put up a strong front. Moreover, he did not believe that someone could learn and cultivate the Universal Truth Longsword to such a level within a few minutes.
Even James, Governor Devitt, and the others had similar suspicions. A few months ago, when Fang Xingjian was challenging the Killing Techniques Palace, he had needed one to two hours to learn a set of sword technique. He would also need a few days to cultivate it to the maximum level.
All in all, Fang Xingjian's performance just now was not only stunning, but also horrifying.
Fang Xingjian only shook his head and looked at the other sword technique on the paper. Star of Adjudication said, "What if I were to learn this sword technique within one minute?"
Learn the Star of Judgement in a minute?
Gardner frowned and could not help but suspect if the other party had learned the Star of Adjudication sword technique before. However, after thinking about the characteristics of the Star of Adjudication, he felt that it was unlikely.
It was because the Adjudicating Heart was a unique sword technique of the Holy Judgment Court. It was not because they did not teach it to outsiders, but because the Adjudicating Star could only be cultivated by those who had faith in the God of Truth. The stronger the faith, the more powerful the sword technique would be.
If one did not have faith or did not respect the God of Universal Truth, not only would they be unable to display the prowess of their sword arts, they might even end up harming themselves.
"This Fang Xingjian is not a believer of the Truth. The possibility of him cultivating the Star of Judgement is too small. If he has cultivated the Star of Judgement and is a believer of the Truth, why would he dare to go against me? "
On the other side, Fang Xingjian laughed inwardly and looked at Gardner, saying, "How about it? If I were to learn the Star of Adjudication within a minute, what else do you have to say? "
Gardner thought that he had figured out the truth. After hearing Fang Xingjian's words, he felt that he was putting on an act. Moreover, at this point, Gardner did not have any other choice. Therefore, he said coldly, "If you can really learn the Star of Adjudication within a minute, I'll naturally agree to you joining the Martial Techniques Grading Plan."
Fang Xingjian smiled and threw another glance at the Star of Adjudication. Then he swung his longsword, and a spot of white light rose up from the tip of the sword. He performed a simple, ordinary, and seemingly powerless sword technique.
A spot of faint white light lingered on the tip of the water sword in his hand, as if it would be extinguished at any moment.
When Fang Xingjian performed this set of sword technique, he only felt an extreme distortion. It was as if there were countless voices shouting out in his body, and it was also as if there was an invisible force in the world that was preventing him from continuing to perform the sword technique.
He felt that after performing this set of sword technique, he could not even unleash 10% of his original battle prowess. It was extremely unbearable.
Moreover, as he performed each move, he felt that the resistance all over his body was getting increasingly stronger. Streams of light appeared all over his body, looking like countless light threads that were rubbing against each other.
Despite this, he still managed to rely on his unrivalled sword arts talent to perform the entire set of the Star of Adjudication. An additional level 1 technique for the Star of Adjudication appeared on his Stats Window.
Ferdinand asked anxiously, "What's going on? Why does it seem as if Xingjian has successfully performed it, but this set of sword technique … "
"This set of sword technique looks very ordinary, right?" Head of Department James shook his head. "This is the Holy See of Truth's Star of Adjudication. Those who don't have faith in this set of sword technique will look very ordinary after performing it. Their battle prowess might even decrease instead of increasing. "And for those who believe in the God of Universal Truth, after performing this set of sword technique, it will be as if they have the help of God and are omnipotent."
Governor Devitt looked toward Gardner and said, "It hasn't even been a minute. "The phenomenon that Xingjian experienced earlier should be a backlash after performing the Star of Adjudication. This means that he has learned the Star of Adjudication and communicated with the God of Universal Truth. It's just that he did not succeed because he doesn't have faith in him."
Gardner stared at Fang Xingjian, a myriad of thoughts running through his mind. It was as if he was thinking about how on earth Fang Xingjian had managed to learn the Star of Adjudication within a minute.
Although Fang Xingjian had only learned the basics of this set of sword technique, Gardner could clearly remember that back when he was learning the Star of Adjudication, even with his extraordinary talent and firm faith in the God of Universal Truth, he had only been able to successfully perform it after learning for an entire day.
However, Fang Xingjian had managed to learn it with just a glance.
Fang Xingjian looked at Gardner and said, "Why? Are you still not convinced? "
Looking at Fang Xingjian's disdainful gaze, Gardner felt even more infuriated. However, just then, the archbishop patted him on the shoulder and asked Fang Xingjian, "Xingjian, have you really never learned the Universal Truth Longsword and the Star of Adjudication before?"
"Of course not."
The archbishop nodded. "Alright, Gardner. Xingjian didn't lie. You've really lost."
Gardner was slightly stunned and looked toward the archbishop. He knew that the archbishop knew a level 4 divine art called Truth and Falsehood, which could determine if a person was lying or not.
Since even the archbishop had admitted to it, it meant that Fang Xingjian had indeed managed to learn the two sets of sword techniques within a few minutes.
A creepy feeling welled up in Gardner's heart.
He lifted his head and looked at Fang Xingjian, feeling a hint of terror. To be able to learn the two sets of sword techniques within a few minutes and even cultivate the Universal Truth Longsword to such a level... What kind of monstrous talent was this?
At the thought of how Fang Xingjian had been learning and improving at such a speed every day, Gardner was astonished and then on his guard.
However, a hint of doubt gradually appeared in the archbishop's eyes. When he first saw Fang Xingjian, he had felt a sense of familiarity. Right now, the more he looked at Fang Xingjian, the more he felt that Fang Xingjian's face looked very familiar. It was only at the next moment that a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes.
