Asto walked slowly toward the Sacred Land. The reason he was doing so slowly was to give the other party time to prepare.
He believed that with the First Prince's current prowess and the other party's current situation, they would make the right choice.
If Fang Xingjian were to rush over and force the other party, it would be bad if the other party were to act rashly and decide to fight to the death. However, even if the other party were to go all out, Fang Xingjian had the confidence to suppress them.
Simultaneously, he recalled the information related to Fang Xingjian in his mind. To him, Fang Xingjian's talent in sword arts could be considered to be extremely outstanding.
'It's a pity that he was born in the wrong era, or rather, he chose the wrong path. Asto thought, 'Fang Xingjian, other people might not know where you've gone, but how can we not know? Although we don't know what you've been up to, do you really think that we're dead for flying all the way to the West Coast in such a flashy manner? '
The First Prince, or rather, the upper echelon of the First Prince's faction, all knew of Earth's existence. Especially after working together with Li Shuanghua, they knew even more information.
However, other than some special research, they did not pay much attention to Earth's martial prowess. They knew that Earth was a desolate land with no experts. Although they could level up quickly, they were far from being able to compare to Knights and even Divine level experts in the Empire.
"It's a pity that, Fang Xingjian, although your talent is outstanding, you had to leave at the most critical moment when the world's metamorphosis was about to happen. Over the past three months, the density of ether particles has been increasing rapidly. Not only have all the top notch experts in the world been getting stronger at a rapid rate, but they've also received various cultivation experiences and secret martial arts techniques from the ether particles. Their abilities have improved tremendously. "These three months have been fatal for you. It was in these three months that you widened the gap between you and the experts of the present age. "
"Two years ago, my sword arts had yet to reach perfection and I had no choice but to lose to Heng Tianxiao's Astral Obscurity Sword after 3,000 moves." Asto sighed and said, "You've forced Heng Tianxiao to retreat, and I wanted to prove what I've learned by defeating you. However, three months have passed, and I have no idea how far Heng Tianxiao has progressed. "Now that I've defeated you, there's no way for me to prove that I'm stronger than Heng Tianxiao."
Just as Atos was thinking about this, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. He stood in front of the entrance of the 100 times concentration and looked at the people walking toward him.
They were Zhou Xingwen, Andre, and Lilia.
Before Fang Xingjian left, the three of them had all received the legacy of the third level of the mystical prints. It could be said that their aptitudes were worlds apart from before.
Over the past three months, the world had undergone a metamorphosis, and the density of ether particles had increased rapidly. This had greatly increased their cultivation speed. After all, aside from increasing one's aptitude, mystical prints also had the ability to filter information to reduce the chances of one going berserk.
Right now, Zhou Xingwen had already reached level 25 and started to condense specialty seeds. The auras of 50 specialty seeds rose up from his body. Lilia had also completed her second transition and reached level 24. She kept on absorbing all sorts of light and heat energy in the surroundings to replenish her energy.
However, the person who was even more astonished was Andre. Right now, the auras of over 100 specialty seeds were rising in Andre's body. Not only had he reached level 25, but he had even surpassed Zhou Xingwen.
However, although their growth was very fast, they were still far from being a threat to the Swordless Sword, Atos.
As an expert who had been on par with The School of Sword Arts' Supreme Chief two years ago, Atos had long since become a Demigod with two tiers of perfection in his body's toughness and specialty seeds. He had been preparing to strive for the third tier of perfection in brain regeneration.
Over the past three months, he had continued to receive the impact of information from ether particles and had sparred with countless experts throughout history. He had honed his sword arts and will time and time again, improving rapidly in all aspects. His cultivation had also finally reached a breakthrough point.
Therefore, one week ago, he had finally completed the difficulty of brain regeneration and possessed a body that was almost indestructible.
Moreover, Atos's Killing technique, the Swordless Sword, had been supplemented by many ancient sword techniques, becoming increasingly perfect.
'I heard that after Heng Tianxiao was defeated, he followed The School of Sword Arts' previous Supreme Chief, Sword Slayer of the Secular World. I wonder how strong he has become. '
Even though Zhou Xingwen and the others were before him, Atos was still thinking about his competitor, Heng Tianxiao.
Zhou Xingwen said, "Lord Assistant, may I know why you've come to the Sacred Land?"
Atos threw a cold glance at Lilia and said, "The Sacred Land is a forbidden area in the academy. Everyone can only cultivate in different areas based on their own qualifications. What's the matter with this woman? I remember that she's not a student of the academy, right? "
Zhou Xingwen had not expected that Atos would not even bother with pleasantries and use Lilia as an excuse. He thought to himself, 'It seems that there's no room for reconciliation.'
Zhou Xingwen said, "She's a servant appointed by Xingjian and is in charge of taking care of Xingjian's daily life. The academy stipulates that cultivators can bring one to two servants with them, right?"
"Hmph, don't let me find out that she's using the Regional Academy's resources. Otherwise, even if it's Fang Xingjian, I won't let him off," Atos said calmly. "Where's Fang Xingjian? Why hasn't he come to see me? "
Zhou Xingwen said honestly, "Xingjian is cultivating in seclusion. Before he went into seclusion, he instructed that no one is to disturb him."
"Hmph, he's just a student of the Regional Academy. Since when did he have such authority? Now that his authority to use the Sacred Land has expired, does he still want to occupy a spot?"
Zhou Xingwen said, "The Governor has instructed that in order to make preparations for the National Selection, Xingjian can be given a special extension of three months."
"Preposterous." Atos let out a cold snort, and streams of sword intents filled up the entire world, pressing out toward Zhou Xingwen and the other two. The three of them looked defeated and on the verge of collapse.
"The resources of the entire Regional Academy don't belong to Fang Xingjian alone. With so many students waiting behind him, what right does he have to extend the time? If there's no fairness at all, how is he going to manage the entire academy? How is he going to convince the masses? "
Under the tremendous pressure, Zhou Xingwen's teeth kept on chattering. He plucked up his courage and said, "Sir, this is the Governor's instruction. He said..."
"B * stard." With a loud bang, Zhou Xingwen was sent flying by a slap from Atos. Along the way, he knocked away over a hundred great trees, and over ten mounds of soil fell to the ground.
Atos looked coldly at Anderson and Lilia, who were left behind, and said, "Right now, I'm in charge of all the matters in the academy. In the future, the separation of the Headmaster and the Governor's positions is also the First Prince's idea. This is a future national policy. Do the two of you still have any objections?"
Anderson frowned and clenched his fists tightly. The shadow under his feet started to tremble, as if he would take action at any moment.
Atos looked at him with a cold smile, as if waiting for Anderson to make his move.
Given Anderson's character, he would not be able to accept someone treating him so arrogantly. However, the other party was a Demigod expert, and he was not a match for him at all. If he were to take action, he would only be seeking his own humiliation.
"Have you said enough? If you've said enough, then scram. It's not up to you to handle the academy's matters."
Just as Anderson was hesitating, Lilia made her move. With a soft bellow, the longsword in Lilia's hand pierced out toward Atos at lightning speed.
