Chapter Twenty-Eight: Clearing
Hogan naturally knew the other party's personality for a long time, so the relationship with the other party has not been very good. immediately smiled and said, "Hehe, talent or something, it's not something you can see at a glance." ”
Diko glanced at Fang Xingjian, seeing the tattered clothes on the other party's body and the frost on his face, even if he knew that the other party had no background at all, he was completely a commoner, and said, "Oh, then you think he is very talented?" He was born in a noble, and the one he looked down on the most, or was jealous, but he was a civilian with excellent talent, and when he saw Fang Xingjian who was a little sloppy at first sight, he was slightly displeased in his heart.
On the contrary, Huo Gen was from a poor family, and when he saw Fang Xingjian's appearance, he knew the other party's situation, and he felt a little kind in his heart.
Hearing what Dick said, Hogan smiled: "I think he's very good, how about it, do you want to bet with me? ”
"Top five?" Dico frowned slightly, Robert had already turned, Fang Xingjian couldn't beat him no matter what. If he wants to finish in the top five, he naturally has to surpass one of Kaunitz, Barbara, Burris and Ferdinand.
"More than the four of them? each of them is the pride of the sky, and in ten years he will be the pillar of Koster, I don't know where the poor boy will surpass them? Is it possible?" Dick said softly, "How much do you bet?"
"How about a hundred gold?" Hogan smiled nonchalantly.
Hearing this answer, Dick was surprised: "A hundred gold?" That's his income for a year.
However, he thought about it for a few seconds, glanced at Fang Xingjian a few times, and thought in his heart: "Kaunitz, each of them has been cultivated since birth, teachers, exercises, medicinal diets, and food are endless, and it is completely a sure thing to turn around. Their goal has always been to turn two or even three times.
If such a genius is surpassed by a poor boy, what is it if I lose a hundred gold to Hogan?'
Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "Okay, Hogan, then I'll wait to collect the money." ”
On the other side, Fang Xingjian and the others had already registered their names, and there was almost less than half a minute behind them, and the four of Kaunitz had already caught up, looking at Fang Xingjian as if they were looking at a monster.
They couldn't catch up with each other from start to finish.
Especially Kaunitz, he kept looking at Fang Xingjian, and the other party seemed to become very strange all of a sudden. Naturally, his appearance also attracted the attention of the other three.
Barbara glanced at Fang Xingjian with a somewhat ugly face, and then asked Kaunitz, "Do you know him?"
"Hmm. At that moment, Kaunitz told the other party's information: "A month ago, he was not my opponent at all, how can he completely surpass me in physical strength now?"
"You say he's a commoner with no background?" asked Burris of the Shadowmoon Sect.
Kaunitz said angrily: "This poor ghost couldn't even afford to eat before. ”
"If you don't have the background to learn advanced cultivation methods, you don't have the money to buy herbs, medicinal diets or even ferocious animal supplements, and the possibility of him surpassing you in attributes is very small. "Unless he has some kind of stat-increasing specialty." ”
Ferdina gasped for a few breaths, and then felt that his tired body had recovered somewhat, and said, "Maybe he has some specialty that is good at long-distance running." ”
Hearing his words, the eyes of the three lit up and said, "This is very possible. ”
Their reasoning is also very reasonable, you must know that the four of them have been carefully cultivated by several major forces since they were children, spent countless amounts of money, don't know how much medicinal food they have eaten, fierce animals, and have gone through countless hard training.
If you want to surpass them in terms of attributes before you turn around, at the same level of the ninth level, then I am afraid that it has to be those super schools that are famous in the empire, or those disciples of the royal family and the core forces of the empire.
In fact, it was true, if Fang Xingjian didn't have the world's number one sword-wielding talent, even if he cultivated 24 hours a day, he would never be able to surpass the four of Kaunitz in terms of attributes.
"Hmph, surpassing us in this level of physical strength is considered amazing. But then it's not so easy, this time, I have to get the second place. Barbara looked at Fang Xingjian's face and smiled coldly. She was confident and proud among the four, and this time she lost to Fang Xingjian, which can be described as very unconvinced.
Kaunitz looked at Fang Xingjian and thought, "This kid's potential is stronger than I thought. But thinking about the picture of the other party losing to himself again and again in the past few months, he never thought that the other party would surpass him.
It's better to absorb him into the family sooner. The potential shown by this guy is more powerful than many clansmen, and my father will inevitably agree to this arrangement.
When the time comes, let him accompany me to practice the three sets of basic swordsmanship of the Sword Pavilion, and I can also obtain the expertise of a swordsmanship expert as soon as possible. ’
Although the other Ferdinand and Burris were surprised that Fang Xingjian could surpass him in the first level, the last thing they lacked was self-confidence for people like them, who had been trained as elite warriors since childhood, at least for now, their opponents were still only the geniuses of the other three academies besides themselves.
Soon after, more and more candidates arrived at the gates of the Royal Academy, but they were even less able to attract the attention of Kaunitz and the others.
Lambert and Ogden arrived in the last ten seconds, and then the doors of the academy were slammed shut.
One of the candidates gasped for breath and knelt outside the academy gate, he looked in the direction of the Royal Academy with a desperate face, grabbed the railing with both hands, and cried: "My lord, please, please let me in, I'm just a few seconds away! This is my last year to participate in the district selection! Please let me in!"
A middle-aged man coughed and shouted, "My lord, I have a cold today, so I am out of character, please can you give me another chance!"
"Please, sir!"
"Please!"
Seeing more and more candidates crying bitterly outside the door, shouting in mourning, whether it was Fang Xingjian, Kaunitz and others, their faces showed a trace of strangeness.
Most of these candidates have failed to pass him several times or even more than ten times, and some of them even have their temples dyed white, and their eyes are despair of life.
Senior Brother Ogden and Second Senior Brother Lambert glanced at each other, their eyes full of happiness.
Just last year, they were like people outside the door.
Hogan clapped his hands and said, "Okay, don't care about those losers outside the door, now follow me and prepare for the second level." ”
So next, the candidates who passed the first level followed Hogan towards the depths of the Royal College of Coster.
Fang Xingjian counted slightly, and found that there were only more than three hundred people who had passed this first level.
