“Obtaining the topmost degree of talent in sword arts in the world requires giving up 72 years of lifespan, which leaves you with only five more years of your life. At the same time, you will never be able to feel love, kinship, and friendship, and you’ll end up leading a lonely life until your death, unable to procreate, or to have any descendants. “From now onwards, everything related to happiness in the human world shall no longer be of your concern. Are you willing to accept this?” “Hahahaha, I’m already alone bereft of all support, my hopes dashed to pieces, shouldering only absolutely irreconcilable grudge and hatred, why would I disagree? Why would I not want it? I couldn’t ask for anything better!!” His sword sweeps across the Divine Continent for seven days and nights, moving 90,000 miles through the starry skies, unhindered. He slays saints and buddhas in Heaven, slaughters demons and devils in Hell, sweeping away all the grievances in his heart!
Faced with Ferdinand's question, Fang Xingjian shook his head without hesitation and said, "I'm not interested."
Ferdinand let out a sigh. Seeing that light on Fang Xingjian's fingertip, Ferdinand knew that he was still cultivating the Radiant Light Sword Technique. He suddenly asked, "Xingjian, could it be that you're still thinking of participating in the upcoming Regional Selection?"
Fang Xingjian kept quiet for a while. He thought that there should be no problem for him to say this and, thus, nodded, "That's right. I do have plans to participate in the upcoming Regional Selection."
Ferdinand continued to ask, "Then do you know how competitive the upcoming Regional Selection will be?"
"It affects the budget for all the Prefectural Academies for the next year. It should be the most competitive one in the past few decades." Fang Xingjian said calmly.
