Robert left with his brows furrowed. He still could not understand the meaning behind Fang Xingjian's words. Or rather, he understood, but still could not believe it.
'Faster than the speed of sound?'
Thinking of this, he felt the hairs on the back of his head stand up, as if forcing himself to cut off this train of thought.
An arrow breaking through the speed of sound and a person breaking through the speed of sound were two completely different concepts. Robert did not dare to imagine, nor could he imagine, that Fang Xingjian could break through the speed of sound as a person. It had only been a month since he had transitioned, and he was already a Windstorm Sword Hero at the first transition.
Even among the group of people at the pinnacle of the first transition, there were very few who could break through the speed of sound. Moreover, most of them were old monsters who had been stuck at the pinnacle of the first transition for over ten years, or even decades.
'To be able to surpass the speed of sound at the age of sixteen, how is that possible?' Shaking his head, Robert walked towards his villa. Although his mind told him that it was impossible, thinking of Fang Xingjian's confident smile, thinking of how he had confidently become the Prefectural Champion, become a Windstorm Sword Hero, defeat Kaunitz, and defeat Class 253, he started to feel uncertain again.
That night, he took half of his savings and went to the school's underground gambling den, betting on Fang Xingjian to win.
…
At the same time, Tresia Academy's senior who had become a Knight four years ago, Class 252's Xiu Yi, was sitting motionlessly in his room.
In front of him, there was a ring that kept on flashing with a faint silver light on his table. The entire room seemed to be filled with excitement because of the existence of the ring.
Xiu Yi looked at the ring on the table, his eyes filled with naked greed.
'The Ring of Lightning. It came from a Knight with Waves of the Lightning element. It was made from the Knight's finger bone.' Xiu Yi silently recalled the relevant information regarding the Ring of Lightning.
As long as this ring was worn and bound to the user's Waves mental cultivation method, it could be activated or deactivated according to the user's will.
As long as the Ring of Lightning was activated, a layer of invisible and colorless Lightning Armor would form on the user's arm, chest, and abdomen. It did not have any physical defense, but it could cause lightning damage to all attackers, as well as cause a numbing effect.
In other words, after using the Ring of Lightning, if someone punched or kicked his arms, chest, or abdomen, or clashed with his longsword, they would be electrocuted and paralyzed.
Electricity was a very special kind of attack. It could use the human body as a medium to transmit electricity. In the process of transmission, it could destroy the human body's blood, nerves, muscles, and other organs. It was an attack that was difficult for the weak and strong to resist.
'Even if it's Fang Xingjian, as long as he comes into contact with my body during battle, no … as long as his sword comes into contact with my sword, then his body will receive an electric shock, which will then produce a numbing effect.
"His physique is very strong. Perhaps the paralysis effect isn't that great, but the paralysis effect during close combat is enough for me to kill him ten times over."
This Ring of Lightning was created specifically to counter high-speed enemies. No, it should be said that in a battle between experts of the same level, this Inferior Remains Divine Weapon would counter almost all close combat opponents.
An excited smile broke out on Xiu Yi's face. This Ring of Lightning was a rare item even amongst Inferior Remains Divine Weapons. Even in the Tresia Clan, it was definitely rare. And now, Rebecca had taken it out and given it to him.
Moreover, Rebecca had also promised that as long as he defeated Fang Xingjian, this Ring of Lightning would be his.
If obtaining an Inferior Remains Divine Weapon could be said to be a great surprise, then being able to defeat Fang Xingjian in front of so many people would be an extremely good thing.
Fang Xingjian had just transitioned into a Windstorm Sword Hero, and he had even single-handedly defeated ten Knights from Class 253.
If Xiu Yi could defeat him in a one-on-one close combat, then it would be an extremely dazzling result, allowing him to stand out amongst the many Knights.
Fang Xingjian was very powerful. His talent was also very outstanding, and his results were even more dazzling.
But it was also because of this that, other than many people revering and worshipping him, there would also be many people who would want to defeat him. Through defeating him, they would become famous, gaining the attention and investments of important people.
Xiu Yi was clearly such a person.
'If I can defeat Fang Xingjian tomorrow, my status in the Tresia Clan will increase by leaps and bounds. Even Kaunitz will not be able to match up to me.
'Even … Even those few people in the Imperial City might view me favorably.
'I'll definitely be able to defeat him. I'll definitely defeat him!'
Xiu Yi slowly put on the Ring of Lightning, his Waves mental cultivation method circulating all over his body, gradually harmonizing with the Ring of Lightning.
'He has the ability to control longswords from a long distance.
'But I can use skills to block it.
'I must force him into close combat!'
…
On the huge grass field, the Prefectural Champion of Class 252, Renault, was holding onto a huge longbow that was over two meters long, standing quietly in the middle of the grass field.
The huge bow was engraved with various inscriptions of unknown meaning, and the bowstring seemed to be made up of countless muscles mixed together, emitting a faint glow.
Stroking the huge longbow in his hands, Renault's heart was filled with confidence.
This was his weapon, the Inferior Remains Divine Weapon — Sacred Bow. It was a bow that could communicate with ether particles, forming a specific geomagnetic track to create an acceleration force field, and then use the acceleration force field to increase the speed of the arrow.
As long as he had this bow in his hands, he would have the confidence to face any enemy.
Just as Renault was stroking the longbow, countless sharp whistling sounds rang out at the edge of the grass field. A total of ten servants were holding onto crossbows, standing in different directions and shooting at Renault at the same time.
These crossbows were clearly products from the military, sent over by Renault's clan to support him. Even if an ordinary person without any extraordinary powers were to prepare them in advance, a single shot would have a tremendous prowess. At the very least, in terms of speed, it would not lose out to the full-powered piercing of an ordinary Knight.
These ten servants were about a hundred meters away from Renault. With ten crossbows shooting at the same time, it would take them less than a second to hit Renault.
However, in less than a second, Renault's hands seemed to have become a series of afterimages. Five sharp arrows suddenly appeared on the bowstring and then disappeared, followed by another five arrows appearing and then disappearing.
As the bowstring trembled, there seemed to be minute ripples appearing, shaking the air and the hearts of those who saw it.
In the blink of an eye, Renault's hands stopped drawing the bow and nocking the arrows. A series of crisp sounds rang out in the air, and the ten arrows shot toward him had all fallen to the ground.
A crisp sound of applause rang out, and Renault's butler walked out from the shadows, saying joyfully, "Congratulations, Young Master, on achieving another breakthrough. Your Dragon Slaying Archery has reached the level of being able to shoot ten arrows with a single glance. There's hope for you to get first place in the inter-class competition this time around."
The Dragon Slaying Archery was the Killing technique that Renault cultivated. It was a terrifying Killing technique that controlled the arrows like a magnetic field through the mutual influence of the ether particles in nature.
"I'm still a little short of first place. Class 248's Hamil and Class 249's Ralph. As the two strongest Knights in the academy, they won't be easy to deal with." Renault smiled, an unprecedented confidence on his face. "However, it's almost certain that I'll be able to deal with Fang Xingjian tomorrow. His defense is too weak, so what's the use of being fast? "No matter how fast he is, can he be faster than my arrows? "With my pair of 'Eagle's Eyes', there's no way he'll be able to dodge my shots.
"What's more, his actions today were all seen by me."
"His speed won't be able to escape my eyes."
Eagle's Eyes was clearly a specialty that Renault had specially cultivated in order to strengthen his archery skills. From the name alone, it was obvious that it was specially used to increase his vision.
