Hail the King

Chapter 740: Not Going to Learn Sword (Part One)

Fei didn’t have the arrogance that usually came along with the supreme status such as being the Imperial Martial Saint, and he was quite casual when he talked. action

After chatting for a while, Sutton gradually realized that he just started to understand the legendary man in front of him.

The rumors that were passed around in the upper-class circle in the Zenit Empire said that the King of Chambord was savage, rude, impolite, and arrogant.

Now, Sutton realized that all those were just rumors after all. Only the people who were close to the King of Chambord knew how he was.

Sutton was very thankful toward Fei for helping him elevate his realm.

Fei waved his hand and explained with a smile on his face, “Even Sun-Class Lords couldn’t elevate a warrior to Moon-Class easily. Otherwise, wouldn’t Moon-Class Elites be more common? If that is the case, the empires with Sun-Class Lords would have a lot of Moon-Class Elites. The most important thing is that you were at the threshold, and you were only one step away from becoming a Moon-Class Elite. To break that threshold, your strength, luck, courage, mental stability, momentary condition... Everything must be aligned. That day during battle, your spirit, energy, and mind were all in harmony, and you were devoted in battle. You were in the [Raged State], one of the four states that could facilitate breakthroughs. I only gave you a little push; it was your hard work and accumulation that got you here. If you were afraid of the masters of Leon, I wouldn’t be able to help you get into Moon-Class even though I’m much more powerful!”

Fei was telling the truth.

Sutton was in a unique state that day. As if two people had crushes on each other, Fei was like that friend who pushed them to take the leap of faith. Everything else went according to nature from that point on.

If it were anyone else, Fei might not be able to help that person become a Moon-Class Elite.

Even though this was the case, Sutton was still very thankful.

He knew that if he missed that opportunity and didn’t receive help from Fei, it might take him one to two years to advance to Moon-Class on his own. Also, since Fei helped him out, the energy of Sun-Class had left marks in his body and could lead the way for him in the future.

In a sense, there was now a Sun-Class seed in his body, and it would help him comprehend the energy that was on a higher level.

He was very fortunate!

Fei nodded and looked at Sutton as he said, “It isn’t me who summoned you here; the Royal Family had sent the Emperor’s Order, asking you to leave the Imperial Knight Palace, take off the position as the Tenth Executive Knight, and come to Martial Saint Mountain to cultivate and practice techniques. Are you willing to do that?”

Sutton was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening.

If it were a year ago, he wouldn’t be willing to ditch the honor of being an executive knight and the glory of the Imperial Knight Palace to come to stay at this lonely mountain. Although Martial Saint Mountain was great, it might be too low-key since there was almost no opportunity to show-off.

However, after all these experiences he had this year, this executive knight who had been arrogant and conceited already grew by a lot, and he was able to see through the materialism.

Therefore, Sutton was overjoyed, and he quickly agreed.

“Eh, since the Chaos Era has arrived, and wars are going to occur between empires, Zenit will be involved as well. Even though the Zenit Empire is more remote, located to the north of the Continent, and wouldn’t be in direct conflicts, it is hard for the Empire to stay out of it completely. This war between Zenit and the Ten-Empire United Troops exposed a lot of Zenit’s weaknesses. The most important issue is that the Empire lacks top-tier masters, and there are too few Moon-Class Elites. The Royal Family wants you to study at Martial Saint Mountain because of your great talent. As one of the best young men in this generation, you have the potential to reach higher realms...” Fei explained further.

Then, he took out a thick booklet from his storage ring and gave it to Sutton.

“This booklet contains my understanding of metal-elemental warrior energy, and there are also a few cultivation techniques and combat techniques in there. I hope it will be of help to you.”

Sutton was excited, and he quickly flipped it through as soon as he got his hands on it. Then, he started to shiver in excitement.

Although Sutton was far less powerful than Fei, he was from a noble family and worked at the Imperial Knight Palace. Therefore, his understanding and knowledge base was much broader compared to ordinary warriors. After only looking through a few pages, he knew that this booklet was an excellent manual for all metal-elemental warriors. If other metal-elemental warriors knew about this, bloody battles would occur over its ownership.

He didn’t expect the King of Chambord, who didn’t cultivate metal-elemental warrior energy, to have such a profound understanding of it, and Fei was even more impressive in his eyes.

He didn’t know that this booklet was put together by Fei overnight according to [Demon King’s Sword] and his current level. It was tailored to him to the teeth!

If he worked hard and cultivated according to it, he might be able to reach the realm of Sun-Class in less than ten years.

“Thank you, Mr. Martial Saint!” Sutton put away the booklet carefully before expressing his gratitude again.

“Eh, as long as it helps you. I won’t be residing on Martial Saint Mountain for long. From now on, all the operation and management will be taken care of by the disciples of the previous Martial Saint, Mr. Krasic. You can put all your effort on cultivation, and you can instruct Luffy on the side while guarding this Martial Saint Mountain for the Empire. Remember, the more powerful you are, the safer the Empire is!”

“Ah? You... you are leaving the city? If the masters of Ormond come and...” Sutton was stunned when he heard that Fei was going to leave. Right now, Zenit couldn’t survive without Fei being here.

“Don’t worry, there is still a powerful master in the Capital, and his strength isn’t lower than mine. Even if Sun-Class Lords come, they might not be able to make it back alive. The Capital is more secure than you think, so you don’t have to worry about it.” Fei didn’t say who this master was, and Sutton couldn’t think of anyone who fit that description even after pondering for a while.

Since Fei didn’t say who it was, he didn’t feel comfortable asking.

After a short pause, Fei smiled and said, “That is all for today; I still need to tend to other guests. Your residence has already been set up, and you can go check it out and see if you like it or not.”

When Fei finished, a member of Martial Saint Mountain came over and led Sutton away, and they disappeared into the green forest.

Then, Fei got the chance to chat with his second disciple, Luffy.

He gradually realized that this kid was little but quite mature, and he was great at complimenting people. His flattering skills were on par with Flatterer Oleg.

His personality wasn’t like his dad [One Sword] at all. His father was haughty and lonely, but Luffy was way too playful and talkative.

“Master, Master! I don’t want to learn sword techniques! My dad practiced sword all his life, and he worked hard, but he still couldn’t defeat you...” This little guy soon got intimate with Fei, and he dragged Fei’s hand and begged.

Laura who was standing by the side was terrified, afraid that her son would offend the Imperial Martial Saint in some way.

Fei laughed and asked, “Hahaha, alright. If you don’t want to learn sword, what do you want to learn?”
