Hail the King

Chapter 987: How About I Take You as My Master? (Part One)

It turned out that Palacio was also a demi-god!

His control over his green light realm was on another level; he could cast it and alter its size at will. By applying a thin layer of his realm around his body, Palacio was able to cancel out the power of Collina’s Holy Power Realm. Also, with his insane speed, he could turn into 100 phantoms easily.

This young lord repeatedly showed weaknesses to lure Collina into attacking, making the latter believe that he had won.

As soon as Collina dropped his guard, Palacio sneak-attacked and took the victory.

One could say that Palacio used this series of psychological tactics smoothly. Without a doubt, he was an experienced young lord who came from the bottom of society and went through many trials and tribulations to get to where he was today.

“I see… hahaha… hahaha! My life is not wasted by dying in the hands of another demi-god. God! I can finally return to the embrace of the stars!”

As soon as Sixth Execution Oracle Collina said that, Palacio’s saber energy in his body exploded.

Bam!

Collina’s body exploded, and he instantly died.

…

Boom!

Fei and Cassano’s fists collided, and their energies exploded in the air.

“Wawawa! Damn! Your physical strength sure is impressive!” Cassano shouted as his right arm turned completely red under the vibration power. In this split second, it was clear that Fei’s physique strength was much stronger than his.

However, [Strange Being]’s main focus was on agility.

Cassano only took half a step backward, but he somehow appeared before Fei again before he could finish speaking. He pointed out his index finger and middle finger, and he slashed them out like a sword. Instantly, a streak of sword energy dashed out, and the golden chilly light suddenly flashed like lightning bolts, targeting hundreds of vitals points on Fei’s body; it was extremely lethal.

“Great!” Fei shouted his praise.

In rumors, [Strange Being] Cassano was known for his delicate movements and combat techniques. Although he looked and acted like a ‘strange uncle’, his talent as a warrior sure was impressive; he was the most agile, unbounded, and high-spirited young lord!

Today, Fei encountered Cassano for the first time, and he could tell that the rumors about this young lord were all true.

This simple sword technique cast using two fingers looked soft, but sword spirit was everywhere. Like a lotus that was slowly opening its petals and blooming, this technique was delicate and shot out many real and fake sword energies; it was a stunning scene.

Fei used his brute strength to crush all techniques. With just one of his fists tightened, the king unleashed a bit of his insane physical strength, destroying all the misty and foggy sword energies.

Cassano laughed and followed up, striking out with his fingers ten times, and all of them landed on the same spot on Fei’ fist.

Fei laughed as well as he sensed that a streak of sharp sword energy invaded his body. Those ten streaks of sword energies merged into one and broke Fei’s bodily protective energy before piercing into his skin; it got into Fei’s energy channels in his body. However, that was the furthest that it got. Fei unleashed a bit more energy and instantly shattered the combined sword energy.

Boom!

Fei’s fist collided with Cassano’s fingers, and they both slightly shook.

While laughing, they both pulled away for about five meters.

True masters can detect if others are also masters.

Although the two only exchanged about five strikes, they got a good understanding of each other’s strength; they knew each other was a rare and challenging rival.

Further away, both Pato and Milito were surprised.

As friends, they knew how terrifying Cassano was.

The terrifying aspect of the sword finger was the murderous trap hidden under the fancy appearance. Once Cassano’s sword fingers tied down an opponent, the latter would feel like they were in a surging ocean, and the waves were going to get stronger and stronger. Almost all Cassano’s opponents couldn’t get out of it; it was like a trap that was cooking frogs in warm water.

Using this battle style, Cassano had defeated many enemies who were stronger than him in his life.

However, the Human Emperor of the North easily shattered the murderous trap in Cassano’s sword fingers with his insane brute force while laughing; this was these young lords’ first time seeing this level of physical strength.

“Hahaha! You sure are as strong as the rumors had said! You have insane physical strength!” Cassano’s interest in Fei piqued. After he rolled his eyes, he suddenly thought of something and said, “Hey, how did you achieve this? Can you teach me?”

Fei was instantly at a loss for words.

Cassano obviously got the wrong idea. “Could it be that your cultivation technique is a secret? How about this? How about I take you as my master? Can you teach me?”

Then, this young lord who dominated in the Central Region kneeled in front of Fei and started to go about the formal procedure of taking someone as a master and teacher.

“Master Alexander, please accept Disciple Antonio Cassano’s three bows…”

“WTF?” Fei quickly moved away and dodged, and he thought, “What the heck is this? Directly kneeling like this? Damn! Where is the honor of a young lord? Man, Cassano, where is your dignity? Did a llama eat it?”

Fei had heard that Cassano was a strange man who did things the unconventional way, but he only laughed about it and didn’t think too much. However, now he knew that the rumors weren’t far from the truth.

“Man, you are kneeling and taking me as your master after we exchanged a few strikes? Cassano, do you lack masters this bad?” Fei thought to himself.

“Huh? I’m being truthful. Alexander, please teach me the technique that can increase physical strength.” Cassano’s expression was very serious; people couldn’t tell if he were joking.

Fei moved and dodged repeated, not wanting Cassano to finish the ceremony. At the same time, the king looked at Pato and Milito, hoping that these two young lords would step out and stop their friend from messing around.

However, Pato covered his forehead with his hand and said, “I’m going to check out Shaarawy’s battle.”

The silent Milito’s heart lurched when he saw Fei looking at him, and he turned around and fled. He murmured, “How come Palacio is still not done? I will go and check…”

Fei was speechless.

It seemed like Cassano’s peers were all ‘tortured’ by this man who seemed to lack something in the head, and they were scared of this situation.

Fei raised his hand, and a vast amount of invisible energy forcefully helped Cassano, who was still kneeling, to stand up.

“Ah? So, you accept me as your disciple?” Cassano ran up shamelessly.

Fei rubbed his head and forced himself to hold back the urge to punch this guy away. After thinking for a bit while being at a loss for words, he said, “I don’t dare to take you as a disciple; that will make you and your peers one generation below me. How about this? I have a technique that can increase your physical strength. Just… treat it as a gift. We can be friends, right?”

From the bottom of his heart, Fei did like this childish man.

The king could tell that this man who had a beard held no ill-intentions toward him. Others said that [Strange Being] was reckless and willful, but Fei believed that childish was a better word.

There is a certain type of person in the world. Regardless of what their actual age is, their mental age increases very slowly, just like Zhou Botong in the classic wuxia novel ‘The Legend of the Condor Heroes.’

These people didn’t have any bad intentions; the most that they would do were harmless pranks.

While Cassano listened attentively, Fei slowly recited a technique that could increase one’s physical strength. It was a body-tempering technique that belonged to the God Clan in the Mythical Era, and it was recorded in [Demon King’s Sword].
