BXBX NOVEL Chapter 737 - Second Disciple
He knew that his son treated the King of Chambord as his mortal enemy when he was alive. After the competition at St. Petersburg about half a year ago, [One Sword] started to practice his technique crazily as if he were possessed. He wanted to achieve a breakthrough in terms of cultivation so that he could defeat the King of Chambord.
“Now my son is dead and got stains on his name, and the person who cleaned his name is his mortal enemy. Fate is unpredictable!” the Old King of Xuelun thought to himself.
“Thank you for restoring our master’s reputation!” The few tough men who were tortured kneeled in front of Fei and expressed their gratitude.
Fei didn’t say anything, but he waved his finger, shattering the iron hooks and chains on their shoulders and turning them into powder without touching the wounds. Then, he switched to Paladin Mode and injected golden holy power into these tough men, healing their bodies. Even though that was quick, and Fei’s paladin character wasn’t at a high level, the injuries on these men were mostly cured, and they would completely recover after a few months.
These people were all loyal and virtuous, so Fei had good impressions of them.
“Quick, come over! Little Luffy, quickly thank Mr. Martial Saint! Thank him for saving us!” That beautiful woman didn’t think as much as the old king. She quickly kneeled and kowtowed, trying to express her gratitude. Seeing that her son was able to live, and [One Sword]’s bloodline was saved, she almost saw Fei as a god.
Fei waved his hand, and an invisible energy helped this woman to stand up.
“Are you Uncle Alexander? Thank you for saving my grandpa, grandma, mom, and uncles. You are a great man!” Little Luffy was a little thin, and his skin was tanned by the Sun, looking a little brown. His big dark eyes looked cute, and his tone was childish. However, he tried to act adult-like, and it was funny.
It seemed like Luffy wasn’t scared of strangers. He pulled on Fei’s shirt and said in pity, “When my dad talked with me in private once, he told me that King Alexander of Chambord is a real master! He said that you are the person who he wants to defeat the most, but you are also the person who he admires the most... Uncle Alexander, where did Dad go? Can you teach me how to fight? I want to become a big hero like you and Dad!”
“Huh?” Fei didn’t expect [One Sword] to highly praise him in private. In a sense, it was quite an accomplishment to be praised this way by an opponent.
The king looked at Luffy who was staring back at him with big eyes filled with hope and earnestly, and he smiled and nodded, saying, “Ok. If you are willing to take me as your master, you can become my second disciple!”
Fei didn’t just say this casually.
Now, [One Sword] was dead, and most of the elite soldiers of Xuelun were killed in battle when they followed Crown Prince Arshavin to the Spartax Battle Zone about half a year ago. In addition, the Xuelun Kingdom was punished by the Zenit Empire, and its reputation and strength both fell drastically. It was impossible for them to sustain their status as a level 1 affiliated kingdom, and they might not be able to maintain the status of a level 4 or a level 5 affiliated kingdom.
Since [One Sword] was cold and stayed lonely pretty much his entire life, he had offended a lot of noble families and significant forces in the Empire. Although Fei saved the Royal Family of Xuelun today, others might use all kinds of excuses to cause trouble for them and make their lives harder.
Chapter 737: Second Disciple (Part Two)
In this cruel world, it wasn’t rare for these things to happen. Those people who hated [One Sword] might come together and try to kill [One Sword]’s only child.
Fei couldn’t stay by Luffy’s side and protect him all the time.
However, if he took Luffy in as a disciple, this boy would be the disciple of the Imperial Martial Saint, and his status would skyrocket.
With Fei’s name, power, and well-known overprotectiveness, no one in the Zenit Empire would dare to mess with Luffy, and no one would want to cause trouble for the Xuelun Kingdom which had a descendant as the Imperial Martial Saint’s disciple.
What Fei said surprised everyone, and the Old King of Xuelun couldn’t hold back his overly excited expression. As lights dashed out of his eyes, he knew that the Xuelun Kingdom didn’t need to worry about getting bullied anymore.
The pretty woman also got elated. As a mother, the first thing that she thought about was her son’s future and growth.
Becoming the disciple of the legendary Impartial Martial Saint who was a Sun-Class Lord was the dream of numerous talented young Zenitians. If the descendants of influential noble families got this opportunity, they would wake up laughing every morning.
“Quick! Son, Luffy! Quick! Bow and kneel! Call him Master from now on!” The pretty woman was too excited, and she couldn’t put a proper sentence together. She couldn’t hold back her emotions and cried again.
Afraid that the Imperial Martial Saint would go back on his words, she pulled her son over and almost pressed on his little head, telling him to bow and take Fei as his master quickly.
“Master, I, Luffy, am willing to serve you! From now on, I will serve you wholeheartedly and listen to your teachings. I will work hard and try my best to become a powerful warrior like you! I won’t lose face for you!” It was clear that this little guy was very excited, and he kneeled and kowtowed as he stated in his childish voice. His adult-like act was quite cute and made Fei laugh a little.
This scene made a lot of people in the area jealous and envious.
Almost everyone in the crowd was thinking, “[One Sword]’s son is so lucky! He is able to become a disciple of the Imperial Martial Saint this easily! This misfortune turned into something great, and his future is unlimited! No one in Zenit would dare to mess with him again!”
At this moment, a lot of young people wanted Fei to accept them as disciples as well, but they didn’t dare to step forward and ask after looking at that young but majestic figure on the execution stand. They knew that they weren’t talented enough, and the Imperial Martial Saint probably wouldn’t take them in.
“Eh, from now on, you will be my second disciple. You have a senior brother named Philip Inzagi, and you will meet him soon. Ok, that is enough for today. You can go back with your grandparents and mom to pack up. After saying goodbye to them, come and find me on Martial Saint Mountain tomorrow at noon!”
After getting back the Martial Saint Token from that military clerk, Fei placed it in Luffy’s hands and dashed away, disappearing from the area.
A series of cheers instantly sounded, and the crowd slowly stood up after Fei was long gone.
Every single one of them was excited, and they couldn’t wait to share what they witnessed today with their families and friends.
“Haha! I only came to watch the execution, but I got the chance to see the legendary Imperial Martial Saint! I’m so lucky!” people thought to themselves.
