Anderson lifted his head and saw that the entire hall was in a terrible state. The floor, which was made of steel, was filled with cracks and potholes. The center had even caved in into a huge pit, revealing the soil.
The entire steel hall looked like a toy that had been trampled on by a child.
This was the result of Fang Xingjian trying his best to control his strength and not borrowing it from the ground.
Not long after Fang Xingjian stopped, over ten Knights walked in and started to move the steel plates. They would copy down the contents on them into documents and then send them to the Holy See of Truth.
Each of them looked at Fang Xingjian with gazes filled with respect, as if they were looking at a god.
Anderson's eyes were also filled with astonishment and dejection. He asked, "How many sets of sword techniques have you learned and appraised in one hour?"
"32 sets. Writing takes too much time," Fang Xingjian said calmly and headed out. Knights started to rush over to repair the place.
Anderson looked at Fang Xingjian in disbelief. To learn over 30 sets of sword techniques in one hour... Did that not mean that Fang Xingjian would be able to complete the mission given to him by the Martial Techniques Grading Plan in just a few days?
After Fang Xingjian left the Sword Tower, he found a place to sit down and started to filter through the sword techniques he had just learned. He deleted the useless ones from their skill seeds, while he synthesized the useful ones into the Zenith Light Sword Formation, Ether Sword Ripples, Prodigious Demolition Sword Physique, or the Universal Truth Longsword.
According to the standards set by the Holy See of Truth, his Universal Truth Longsword was at B grade, while the other three were at A grade. There was still a lot of room for improvement.
It just so happened that 1,000 sets of sword techniques from the Holy See of Truth had been sent over. Fang Xingjian planned to spend a few days to learn them in one go, integrating all 1,000 sets of sword techniques into his own sword techniques, increasing his accumulation of sword arts and his sword arts cultivation.
Simultaneously, he was also recovering his demolition sword light, waiting for the sword arts appraisal to continue.
As he synthesized the sword technique in his mind, Fang Xingjian glanced at Anderson and Rota, who were in front of him. Both of them looked very disappointed, and it was obvious that they had been dealt a blow by Fang Xingjian.
Just then, another Conferred Knight ran over. That Conferred Knight wore a cold and arrogant expression as he looked at Fang Xingjian and said coldly, "You're Fang Xingjian, right? Young Master Hildebrand would like to invite you over. "
Fang Xingjian did not even look at the Conferred Knight who had spoken up and said, "I don't have the time. If there's anything, let him come over himself."
Hearing that, the Conferred Knight's countenance froze, as if he had not expected that Fang Xingjian would not give him any face. He gritted his teeth once again and said in a low voice, "Lord Hildebrand, who is ranked second in the Regional Academy, has invited you over. Are you really not going?"
Fang Xingjian didn't say anything, but Andrewson couldn't help but speak up. He had long since disliked Fang Xingjian's arrogant attitude.
"I already said there's no time. Are you deaf? Go away quickly. "
That Conferred Knight frowned and said, "I've already conveyed the message. If you don't want to go over today, you'll have to do as you see fit." With that, he flung his cloak and stepped out. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from everyone's field of vision.
After this Conferred Knight left, Rota immediately said, "That guy is Peter, the Conferred Knight ranked 15th in the academy. It's said that he's already at level 25. Of course, he's nothing to you, but Hildebrand... It's not a good idea to offend him so directly, right? "
Andrewson said, "And who is Hildebrand? Why can't we offend him? "
"You don't even know who Hildebrand is? Why did you interrupt earlier? "Rota looked at Andrewson speechlessly.
"Who cares who he is? Can he be more amazing than me?" After Andrewson said this, he subconsciously threw a glance at Fang Xingjian and sighed, "In this academy, Fang Xingjian is ranked first, and I'm second. The others are just mediocre people."
Rota smiled bitterly and shook her head. She looked at Fang Xingjian and said, "Xingjian, not only is Hildebrand ranked second in the Regional Academy, but he's also one of the only three students in the academy who are level 29 Conferred Knights.
"Moreover, not only is he very strong and talented, but his background is also very impressive. His grandfather was the previous Governor of the Beize Continent. After he retired, he returned to his hometown in the Great Western Region. "His father is still a member of the upper echelon in the central Knight Association.
"His family's influence in the Great Western Region can be said to be deeply rooted. Even Governor Devitt would visit his grandfather every year during festivals.
"And he himself is the leader of all the underground influences in the Great Western City.
"Xingjian, if you can avoid offending this person, it's best not to."
Fang Xingjian gave it some thought but still shook his head. "I don't have the time."
Rota smiled bitterly and shook her head. However, she thought to herself, 'Only Xingjian would have such confidence.' Thinking of the speed at which Fang Xingjian had learned the sword techniques earlier, she felt a sense of disappointment.
She had wanted to catch up to him, but now, the distance between them was increasing.
In the next few days, Fang Xingjian learned all 1,000 sets of sword techniques provided by the Church in one go and evaluated them one by one.
His speed was too fast. Regardless of whether it was learning the sword techniques, evaluating them, or recording them on a steel plate, he was able to complete all of them very quickly.
Therefore, three days later, Fang Xingjian brought a cart full of evaluation results and headed for the archbishop's hotel. The representative team from the Holy See of Truth had not even had the time to leave yet.
On the other side, the Archbishop and the Knight of the Rising Sun were sitting on chairs at the dining table of the hotel. In front of them was a man with neatly combed hair. He was as strong as a lion and exuded a strong masculine aura from head to toe. He looked like Apollo, the Sun God.
This man was a top notch character in the Great Western Region Regional Academy — Hildebrand, who had impeccable talent, abilities, and background.
Looking at the archbishop and the Knight of the Rising Sun, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile that could charm countless young ladies. "Archbishop, Mister Gardner, this time around, I've come with great sincerity. I'll settle the matter with Fang Xingjian."
"Are you sure?" The Knight of the Rising Sun, Gardner, looked at Hildebrand and said, "Fang Xingjian doesn't seem to be someone who's easy to negotiate with."
"It's just a child throwing a tantrum. The scale of the Church's Martial Techniques Grading Plan is huge and its influence is far-reaching. It can be said to be an unprecedented plan. For something like this, our country is very worried that your Church will only be in contact with one student. "Therefore, I hope that our country will be able to establish an official cooperative relationship with your Church. "Of course, the entire Martial Techniques Grading Plan will be led by Fang Xingjian. Moreover, with the support from the Empire's resources, the progress and accuracy of the entire plan will only be higher. "Moreover, I've already gotten the approval from the association. The funds for the project will be given out in succession. It'll be equivalent to our country working together with your Church to carry out the Martial Techniques Grading Plan."
With more funds and more people, the speed and efficiency would naturally be higher.
The archbishop nodded slightly. Logically speaking, this was indeed the case. However, Fang Xingjian's talent … and looks allowed him to see a different outcome.
Therefore, although Hildebrand put forth all sorts of conditions, trying to get into Fang Xingjian's good books and persuasion, the archbishop only agreed to it on the surface and did not confirm it verbally.
