My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start - Chapter 376

Chapter 376: The Sword Saint’s Assessment

Watson stood in front of Christina as if he was standing between heaven and earth. His small body emitted an aura that made people unable to look directly at him. Even a platinum-tier elite like Samuel could not help but feel the urge to kneel in front of Watson.

“He’s actually a diamond-tier elite. He looks like he’s only 12 or 13 years old, but he’s already at the diamond tier. What kind of monster did Master Antonio find as his disciple? No wonder Tina has always been indifferent to me, but she’s acting so intimate with that youth. I understand the reason now. I really can’t compete with him.”

Samuel expressed his shock at Watson’s strength, then he snapped back to his senses and let out a bitter sigh.

The two junior brothers behind him did not have such rich emotions. They only stared at Watson with his mouth wide open, unable to speak for a long time. If they knew that Watson was a diamond-tier elite, they would not dare to make a move no matter what.

“Watson, you… When did you advance to diamond-tier?”

The first to react was Christina. Her head was a little dizzy, and her body swayed a few times as if she was about to fall to the ground. She was supported by Watson.

Watson scratched his head. “On the way to the capital, or more accurately, in the floating city, Master Antonio arranged a few trials for me. I advanced to the diamond tier after passing them!”

He advanced while he was on the way to the capital when he passed some trials. Did they hear what he said?

Watson’s speed of advancing from platinum to diamond-tier was terrifying. Even if Watson had started cultivating from his mother’s womb, it had only been 12 or 13 years. He was a 12 or 13-year-old diamond-tier elite; it was unprecedented in the kingdom’s entire history.

“I’ll say it again. I’ve offended all of you just now. I did not mean to barge in here. I apologize for my actions. Now, can everyone please listen to me?”

As soon as Watson’s voice fell, no one present refuted him. So what if they did not want to listen to Watson? After all, they were not a match for Watson.

“Watson, let’s forget about what happened just now. Why did you come here?” Christina knew that Watson wasn’t a lecherous person, so she tried to smooth things over.

“I came here to see the Sword Saint. I suggested knocking on the door to come in, but Master said that it’s more convenient to not enter through the door! Speaking of which, my master just said that he wanted to go somewhere else to take a look and then left. I wonder where he went?”

Watson turned his head and looked around. At that moment, a magnetic cough came from the sky. “Watson, I did not say anything like that. Don’t make things up.”

Antonio descended from the sky and landed beside Watson. He held his cane with one hand and covered his mouth with the other hand as he kept coughing. He used his eyes to signal Watson.

“Greetings, Master Antonio.”

When Samuel and the others saw Antonio, they immediately knelt on one knee respectfully.

Watson must have spoken the truth. He did not sneak in there to peek at Christina while she took a shower; they had misunderstood Watson.

“Get up.”

Antonio waved his hand casually, and a breeze immediately rose on the ground, lifting Samuel and the others up. Then, he turned his head to look at the sky. “Reid, such a big incident has happened at your home, and you did not even come out to take a look. Compared to the hot-tempered man you were in the past, you are really calm now.”

“Antonio, as the source of everything, you clearly know that what you did was inappropriate, yet you blame others for not stopping you. After not seeing you for a few months, you are still the same.”

A light voice that was different from Antonio’s rang out. That voice had experienced many changes, and just hearing it made people imagine the image of an old man with white hair. However, the person who appeared in mid-air did not quite fit that illusion.

The man in mid-air had long yellow hair and a handsome face. Other than the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, there were almost no traces of time on his face. At that moment, the man was wearing a training suit, and his hands that were full of calluses were behind his back, his calm eyes seemed to contain everything, as if there were countless sword auras rising and falling within them.

It was the reigning Sword Saint—Reid Frederick!

Watson looked at the man in the sky, and his eyes sparkled. Previously, in the City of Steel, he had fought with that sword saint’s projection once to pass the trial of the 100th level of the maze. However, compared to the sword saint in front of the projection, he was clearly more mature, his strength was also more unfathomable. Just looking at him made Watson feel that he could not defeat him. That was the first time he had such a feeling toward a person.

“Antonio, the only change you’ve changed those days is that you’ve become younger! You’ve advanced to diamond-tier? I did not expect that you would be able to find a way to break the curse of the Spring of Life in your lifetime. Also, the youth beside you are also at diamond-tier. It’s really rare to have such strength at such a young age. Did you bring him here to show off to me that your disciple is more outstanding than mine?”

Reid’s gaze swept over Antonio’s body and landed on Watson. Because of the sword saint’s gaze, Watson immediately felt an even stronger pressure than before.

“Reid, do you think that I am that kind of person? Show off? Watson is very outstanding, indeed. All of your disciples won’t be able to hurt him. You might not be able to understand. It should be said that even if Watson stood still and let your disciples fight for three days and three nights, Watson will be fine, but your disciples will be exhausted.”

Antonio raised his head and faced the sky. His words made everyone speechless. Even though he did not say it out loud, everyone could hear the strong sense of showing off in Antonio’s words. Even Reid could not help but twitch his lips.

“Also, Watson not only broke the history of the kingdom in terms of tier but also in terms of ability. Not only is he a mage, but he is also a warrior. He even has the skills of an archer and a priest! Didn’t you leave a record of clearing a hundred levels in the City of Steel that no one could break in decades? Watson broke that. Not only did he break the record, but he also modified the entire underground maze and—”

“Stop, Antonio. Tell me, what do you want from me?”

Seeing that Antonio was about to say something for three days and three nights, Reid quickly reached out to stop him.

“I came here to look for you because I want you to teach Watson some knowledge about warrior skills. After all, Watson has already reached the peak in magic with my guidance, but he still lacks other aspects! In the future, Watson will become the strongest person in the kingdom, and he will be a full-time expert that we’ve never had. Reid, I allow you to be Watson’s swordsmanship teacher for the sake of our past friendship. You have to make good use of that opportunity to witness a legend and enter the annals of history.”

‘Seize the opportunity? Seize your ass.’

Reid was a little angry when he saw that Antonio was pulling his nose so hard that it was about to go up to the sky. He had fought with Antonio for more than half of his life. Usually, when he was with Antonio, he would always tease him. After all, he was stronger, even though there were fewer disciples, they were more elite. Furthermore, he had a daughter who was nicknamed the Swordmistress and could bear the family trade.

But now, Antonio had found such a monster from God knows where. He had crushed his disciple in all aspects. Antonio had even broken the curse and upgraded to diamond-tier, and now he was showing off in front of him, which made Reid feel a little uncomfortable.

While thinking, Reid’s eyes fell on Watson. A few flashes of sword aura flashed through his eyes, and he had an idea.

“Antonio, if you want me to take Watson as my disciple, just say it. There’s no need to beat around the bush! However, I have my own rules when it comes to taking in disciples. I Won’t take in just anyone. If you want to be my disciple, you have to first pass my test.”

“What test?”

“It’s very simple. No matter what method you use, as long as you can make me move one step, that young man will be considered to have passed the test. I’ll give him three chances.”

Reid’s idea was very simple. If Antonio directly agreed to accept him as a disciple, it would be very embarrassing. In addition, he was holding a bit of anger in his heart and decided to take a small revenge. As long as Watson could not make him move within three moves.., the things that Antonio had bragged about just now would undoubtedly turn into face-smacking evidence.

Although the young man in front of him had become a diamond-tier at the age of 12 or 13, which indeed made him very tempted and want to accept him as a disciple, Antonio’s face made him even more unhappy.

“Why do I feel that Master has secretly changed the content of the assessment? I remember that when we entered the assessment, the content was that as long as we could withstand a sword aura from Master, we would pass.”

Behind Samuel, two young men whispered with puzzled expressions.

Resisting a sword aura and making Reid Move were two utterly different assessment methods. The former was equivalent to blocking Reid’s attack, while the latter was equivalent to confronting Reid head-on. After all, it could make a person move, which meant that the attacker already had the strength to shake that person. However, it was easier said than done to make the strongest person in the kingdom move a step.

“Looks like Master is deliberately making things difficult for that youth.” Samuel’s expression was strange. He had followed Reid the earliest and more or less knew about the matters between Antonio and Reid. He could not help but feel sorry for Watson.

In his opinion, no matter how strong Watson was, it was impossible for Reid to move because Reid’s strength had already surpassed common sense. At the same time, he felt a little lucky. It seemed that Christina’s attitude toward Watson was not normal. They would not need to interact that much if Watson was not her father’s disciple.

While Samuel was thinking about that, Watson had already taken a step forward and came in front of Reid.

“Your Excellency Sword Saint, you said that as long as I get you to move one step, you would accept me as your disciple. Can I start now?” Watson tilted his head and revealed a tender smile unique to that young man, “However, I also have a request. Three opportunities are too many. Just one! I only need one chance. If I can’t move you, then I lose.”

He actually thought that three chances were too many. So arrogant!

Sword Saint Reid frowned. “Sure. Since you have such a request, I’ll allow it.”

“Then I’ll begin. Please stay away from me for the time being.”

Watson gestured for Christina and the rest to retreat. When everyone retreated a few hundred meters away and looked at him curiously, Watson’s expression suddenly became serious. He extended his right hand and aimed at Samuel in the sky.

“System fusion, activate. Fuse all rules! Peak diamond-tier ability, the Kingdom of God!”

Following Watson’s voice, many rules were extracted from the air and appeared in mid-air. At the same time, those chains of laws were forcefully fused. A large amount of light of faith appeared on them as the outline of an illusory kingdom was formed. Reid, who had initially been calm, suddenly had a change in his expression after seeing Watson’s move.
