About ten minutes before the duel between Fang Xingjian and Kaunitz was to start, Huang Lin was excitedly running towards the Headmaster's office.
He wanted to tell the other party that Fang Xingjian had already completed his job transition and had become a Windstorm Sword Hero.
However, just as he dashed into the office, the scene before him made him frown slightly.
A white-haired lady dressed in luxurious clothes was sitting in front of the Headmaster. The lady's brows were very thick, but her eyes were long and thin like a fox's. Her face was full of wrinkles, and she definitely did not look young.
The person sitting next to the lady was the white-bearded old man who had questioned Fang Xingjian at the start of the third stage of the Prefectural Selection. Later on, he had been envious that Huang Lin had taken in a disciple, and in the end, he had encouraged his daughter to get closer to Fang Xingjian.
When Huang Lin saw the longsword at the lady's waist, which was embedded with colorful gemstones, he frowned.
"Tresia Clan's Rebecca … Why are you here?" Rebecca Tresia was one of the Tresia Clan's surviving Knights. She was at level 19 of the first transition, and was also Kaunitz's aunt.
Although she had not completed the second transition, she had been at the pinnacle of the first transition for decades. As a veteran first transition expert, she had tempered her attributes year after year and trained hard on her specialties. Her decades of accumulation were no small matter.
Even some youngsters who had just completed the second transition and reached level 20 might not be her match.
"Oh? Isn't this Master Huang Lin? "Seeing Huang Lin enter, Rebecca smiled and said," It's been a long time since we've met. "
Seeing this, the Headmaster smiled and said, "Lin, you've come at the right time. Adelaide is about to retire, and we've invited Rebecca to be the academy's sword arts instructor. You guys know her as well. She's from the prestigious Tresia Clan and has extraordinary sword arts. She's the most suitable person to be the academy's sword arts instructor."
Rebecca smiled and said, "Headmaster, you're too kind. Haha, we were just discussing the issue of reducing the academy's expenses. Since Master Huang Lin is here, we can discuss it together."
"Reducing expenses?" Huang Lin said coldly.
"That's right. For example, Prefectural Champion Fang Xingjian. Since he has failed his job transition, he shouldn't be able to continue enjoying the treatment of a Prefectural Champion. "Belica's words were as sharp and overbearing as if she was performing sword arts.
The moment she opened her mouth, she directly confronted Huang Lin. "His resources could have been spent on more talented students."
Huang Lin sneered at Rebecca. "Haha, like Kaunitz?"
"That's right. I don't differentiate between close and distant relatives. Although Kaunitz is my nephew, he is extremely talented, completing the first transition within ten days, and pushing his Waves to level 3 within three months. I feel that the academy should give him more talent, allowing him to develop and grow healthily instead of wasting it on some trash."
"Hmph, trash." Just as Huang Lin was about to announce the news of Fang Xingjian's successful job transition, an instructor walked in and said, "Headmaster, Fang Xingjian and Kaunitz are fighting in the Dueling Arena."
"What? What are they messing around about? "The Headmaster frowned.
Rebecca, who was standing at the side, said firmly, "Kaunitz is a very sensible child. It's impossible for him to have taken the initiative to bully others. It must be this Fang Xingjian who has offended him. However, the academy has stipulated that one cannot intentionally cripple or injure others in the Dueling Arena. Master Huang Lin, you don't have to worry. Kaunitz will at most give him a small punishment and won't do anything to him."
"Haha," Huang Lin could not help but laugh out loud. "Are you sure that it was Kaunitz who gave Fang Xingjian a lesson?"
Rebecca frowned. Although she was a little doubtful of his attitude, she still said, "Isn't that the case? Fang Xingjian has failed his job transition and doesn't even have a Reduced Force Field. He's just an ordinary person. How could he possibly be able to fight against a Knight who has gone through the first transition? "
Huang Lin only looked at her and smiled coldly. "Then how about this? You feel that Kaunitz is the most talented person in this batch. If Fang Xingjian were to win against him, it would prove that Fang Xingjian is stronger. Headmaster …" He looked at the Headmaster and said, "Why don't we give the slot for this year's Empire's Divine Weapon to whoever wins? After all, in this batch, none of them have an Empire's Divine Weapon yet."
The Empire's Divine Weapon was a super weapon specially forged by the Empire's Armory for the strong. It was a legendary weapon that could communicate with ether particles and display extraordinary powers.
However, such a weapon had to be specially designed and manufactured, and it required a huge amount of resources. Usually, only students who had been recommended by each academy would have the right to obtain it, and there would only be one or two such slots every year. It could be said to be extremely precious.
Although Rebecca was puzzled by Huang Lin's attitude, she merely nodded and said, "That's how it should be."
Seeing that both of them had agreed, the Headmaster did not object. He said, "Kaunitz and Fang Xingjian are both extremely talented, dragons and phoenixes among men. In this batch, if there's anyone who has the right to get the Empire's Divine Weapon, it should indeed be between the two of them."
"Then it's decided." Huang Lin smiled and walked towards the door. "Let's go watch the duel between the two of them now."
Rebecca furrowed her brows as she thought to herself, 'This old man, what is he trying to do? Does he really think that Fang Xingjian will be able to win against Kaunitz even though he hasn't gone through the first transition? Impossible, absolutely impossible. '
The Headmaster also stood up and smiled at Rebecca. "Then let's go and watch their battle."
The few of them were all powerful Knights and Conferred Knights, either going through the first or second transition. Even if they were just moving slightly, their speed was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, they had already arrived at the battle arena.
On the arena, Fang Xingjian had challenged Kaunitz, and the two of them had gone up to the arena together.
On the arena, Kaunitz looked at Fang Xingjian and said, "Today, we'll fight it out. I'll let everyone know … who is the true genius in this batch of Prefectural Selection …"
Fang Xingjian said calmly, "Shut up, you …"
After Fang Xingjian said the word 'you', Kaunitz's countenance changed drastically. The air was torn apart, and an ear-piercing shriek rang out. He only felt strong gales gushing toward him, and darkness filled his vision. All the light seemed to have been blocked by something in that instant.
"Trash …"
A loud boom rang out. If one were to slow down time, they would be able to see Kaunitz's mouth slowly open, his pupils contracting slightly. Fang Xingjian's right fist had punched into his stomach inch by inch, causing a part of his back to bulge out.
"F …"
Kaunitz's body was sent flying backward inch by inch from the heavy blow. His Reduced Force Field subconsciously spread out in all directions. Countless air explosions rang out, and waves of transparent shock waves flashed in the air. It was a phenomenon caused by the rapid flow of air.
However, no matter how the Reduced Force Field pushed out, no matter how much it exploded, Fang Xingjian was like a reef. No matter how the force field pressed down on his body, he was not affected in the slightest, as if a light breeze had brushed past his face.
"Too …"
It was as if Fang Xingjian's right hand had transcended the boundaries of time and space. With the enhancement from his agility attribute of over 70 points, as well as the enhancement from his specialty which allowed him to increase his movement and action speed by over 2.4 times, his right hand had completely turned into a blurry phantom. Just as Kaunitz was hit by the punch and was sent flying over ten centimeters away, Fang Xingjian's right hand had already moved and once again grabbed onto Kaunitz's head.
"Too."
After saying 'You talk too much crap', his five fingers, which were like steel bars, were already locked onto Kaunitz's head. The latter's pupils were still contracting, and before he could even react to the first punch to his stomach, Fang Xingjian had already exerted force in his right arm, dragging Kaunitz's head and slamming it toward the ground.
