Chapter 397: Christina VS Samuel
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Ah, no.”
“Watson, stop. I can’t take it anymore.”
The only sounds coming out of the huge private room were gasps and the gentle begging of a woman.
Watson sat opposite Christina and pointed at the space between her eyebrows, pouring a large amount of knowledge into her mind. Meanwhile, Christina’s face was flushed as she endured the excessive knowledge. Her body and clothes were wet with sweat.
After Christina decided to believe in Watson, he immediately asked her to pray according to the prayer and offer her faith devoutly. After she did that, the source of chaos-elemental magic in Watson’s soul suddenly had a projection of Christina’s soul, which allowed him to impart his ability to her through the projection of his soul.
Then, after the prayer, Christina felt like she had formed some kind of magical connection with Watson.. She knew that Watson had not lied to her. The knowledge that he had imparted to her made her even more ecstatic. That knowledge not only included Reid’s sword technique that she had not learned, but there were also many other techniques that she did not know. Those techniques were the result of Watson’s fusion, including the Kingdom of the Sword.
In addition to sword techniques, the knowledge that Watson had taught her also included magic and some rules that only diamond-tier elites could master. In other words, her sword techniques had significantly improved, and she had also become a mage. Even if she had not advanced to diamond-tier, an ordinary diamond-tier expert was no match for her.
“Watson, what you said is true. I obtained a large amount of knowledge just by believing in you. How did that work?”
As she digested the large amount of knowledge that appeared in her mind, Christina took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat.
“That principle is similar to the kingdom’s priests who believe in the seven gods and can obtain feedback from the gods. In essence, prayer is a special way to establish a connection with others. Since the gods can, I naturally can too,” Watson replied confidently.
His reply made Christina fall silent. It was not difficult to connect that point with the priest profession, but only Watson had done it for hundreds of years. On the one hand, no one would be so disrespectful as to replace the gods with themselves. On the other hand, no one had the strength of a monster like Watson, worthy of being worshipped.
Since she had absorbed the knowledge in Watson’s mind, Christina understood how powerful Watson was. The power displayed by Watson was close to that of a god.
“Watson, according to our agreement, since you have taught me the way to become stronger, I will do whatever you want. Don’t worry. I am not a person who goes back on her word. Tell me what you want.”
Christina wiped her sweat. There was still a blush on her face, and she looked gorgeous.
“I only have one request now, and that is that I’m hungry. Miss Christina, please treat me to a meal.”
“Watson, is that all you want? I would have agreed to more.” Christina glanced at Watson. “Also, don’t call me Miss Christina. Just Christina or Tina, like my senior brother calls me.”
“Alright, Christina, can we eat now?”
‘Eat, eat, eat. Why do you only know how to eat?’
She was such a beautiful woman, but Watson had turned a blind eye to her. That made Christina feel a little aggrieved. When she asked Watson to make a request, she worried that Watson would make excessive requests. She was still considering whether she should refuse if Watson made such a request. Since Watson had helped her so much, she had considered agreeing to that.
In the end, Watson did not make any requests related to her. However, she was even more dissatisfied. Christina was not a person who paid attention to her appearance, but she knew she was beautiful. Ordinary men would always be stunned when they saw her. Even some of Reid’s disciples looked at her in the same way. Even if she did not say it out loud, Christina still enjoyed their attention.
However, Watson looked at her with an unusually clear gaze. There were no distracting thoughts in his eyes. It was as if he did not treat her as a woman. That made her somewhat frustrated. Perhaps Watson was too young and did not know much about matters between men and women.
“Let’s order some dishes. Today, I will let you eat enough of the sumptuous dishes.”
Christina did not show on her face. Instead, she picked up the menu and slammed it fiercely on the table.
….
The meal lasted for about half an hour. After eating and drinking, Watson said that he had other things to do. He left Christina in the room, which made Christina even angrier.
“That Watson, the more I look at him, the more detestable he gets. He had agreed to go out with me today, but in the end, he just had a meal and ran away. Is it so difficult for him to be with me?”
Playing with an empty goblet, Christina poured a glass of red wine into it. She finished it in one gulp and rubbed her silver teeth. Ever since she was young, she had been treated like a treasure. No one had ever been so indifferent to her. What Watson did made her angry, but at the same time, it stimulated her fighting spirit.
“When other nobles were 12 or 13 years old, they already had sex with many women. Why is Watson so simple? Is his mind only full of knowledge about cultivation? No, I have to teach him some things in that area. I want to do something that a young man at that age should do. Just treat it as my reward for his lessons.”
After making up her mind, Christina rolled her eyes. She seemed to have thought of something and revealed a sly smile. She shouted, “Bill, please.”
“Lady Swordmistress, the cost is 1,000 gold coins,” a waiter walked in and said respectfully.
“A thousand gold coins?” Christina looked pained. It was not a small amount for her. Just as she reached into her pocket and was about to take out her purse, another waiter said, “Lady Swordmistress, you don’t have to pay. This meal is free of charge.”
“Free? What do you mean?”
“You and your friend are our distinguished guests at the Holy Dragon Tavern. In addition, someone disturbed you while you were here last time, so we can’t take your money. Just take it as our compensation for you.”
The waiter gave a perfunctory explanation. The real reason was that as a member of the Severed Fingers Gang, how could he take money from the Black Emperor? The man had healed his fingers, and he was made a gold-tier elite. He could even get a complete set of gold-tier weapons and armor in two days. He had been very grateful to Watson for so many benefits.
Everyone in the entire Holy Dragon Tavern was grateful toward Watson. The higher-ups had told them that Watson could eat there for free, and they were all happy to accept it.
After the waiter finished speaking, he looked at Christina curiously. He remembered that Watson had also brought the swordswoman there last time. Could there be a relationship between the two of them? The waiter could only guess about that.
Even though Christina was seven or eight years older than Watson, platinum-tier cultivators aged very slowly. Seven or eight years old did mean anything at all. In addition, Christina was the Sword Saint’s daughter, so she seemed to be on the same level as Watson.
While the waiter was still fantasizing, Christina had already stood up and tossed ten gold coins toward him. “Since you are so sensible, those are tips for you.”
“Thank you, Lady Swordmistress.”
The waiter took the coins and bowed his head respectfully to thank her. He watched Christina leave with excitement hidden in his eyes. What a generous person. The noblemen would usually only reward him with one gold coin if they were happy, unlike Christina, who had given him ten gold coins. He did not know that Christina was delighted that day because her strength had increased. He thought Christina was a generous person. That made him feel that that kind of woman was a good match for Watson.
Christina stretched her back and displayed her graceful body curves as she stood at the Holy Dragon Tavern entrance.
The sun shone on her face, just like her mood at the moment. If not for Watson’s little episode, that day would have been the best day for her. In the past, she had been shackled by heavy pressure. She wanted to work hard to become stronger, but she had always been unable to advance quickly due to her talent. However, all of her worries had disappeared. The knowledge that Watson had taught her was equivalent to her decades of hard work.
As Watson became stronger, the knowledge that she obtained also increased. Basically, she did not need to cultivate anymore. She could become a top expert in the kingdom by absorbing the knowledge from Watson.
“Of course, I can’t stop cultivating. No matter what knowledge he imparts to me, I still need to understand them. It’s still early. I’ll go back to the courtyard to practice my sword technique.”
With that thought in mind, Christina was about to leave when someone suddenly stopped her.
“Tina, why are you here?”
Christina turned her head and realized that the person who spoke was her eldest senior brother, Samuel. The man, who was dressed in black, had also walked out of the Holy Dragon Tavern. His temperament was not quite the same as usual. The way he looked at her made her feel a little uncomfortable.
“Senior Brother, I’m just here to have a meal with Watson.”
“Watson?” Perhaps it was Christina’s imagination, but she felt that the temperature around Samuel dropped a few degrees after she mentioned Watson. Then Samuel asked, “Where is he now?”
“He said he had something to do and left.”
“Let’s not talk about that, Tina. Why are your clothes all sweaty and messy? What did you do with Watson just now?”
Samuel’s gaze fell on Christina’s clothes. Christina’s brain capacity was not enough to store the knowledge that Watson imparted to her. It caused her to sweat profusely and also almost faint a few times. Therefore, her clothes were a little messy. She thought about taking a shower and changing her clothes when she got home, so she did not mind. She did not expect to see Samuel when she went out.
No matter what she and Watson did, it was her freedom to do as she liked. Furthermore, nothing happened between her and Watson. Samuel’s repeated questioning made her feel uncomfortable. She immediately replied coldly, “Eldest Senior Brother, that’s none of your business. Do you need anything else? If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”
“Wait a minute, Tina. I was too impatient just now, so my words might have been a little over-the-top, but you have to believe that I’m doing that out of kindness. I’m afraid that Watson will bully you.”
“Thank you, Eldest Senior Brother. So, do you need anything else? ”
“Tina, don’t be in such a hurry to leave. I do need you for something.”
His eyes darted around as a smile appeared on Samuel’s face. “I’ve been meditating in my room for the past few days. Reflecting on my training over the past twenty years, I’ve gained an epiphany—my strength has increased greatly. As for how much it has improved, I’m not sure myself. Therefore, I’d like to have a duel with you to confirm my current tier.”
He had told King Landhar III about what had happened in the Sword Saint’s courtyard over the past few days, including Watson provoking the Campbell family and creating a starlight-tier weapon. After that, King Landhar III said, “I understand.” Then, he left. He followed him out of the Holy Dragon Tavern; he did not expect to see Christina there.
He had always liked Christina and treated her as his future wife until Watson’s appearance broke all of that. When he heard that Christina had gone out to eat with Watson, he got even angrier, so he had to make a move.
He was no longer the old Samuel. With the help of King Landhar III, he had already obtained power comparable to that of a god. When he fought with Christina later, he would only need to show a little bit of his strength to shock her, and then she would understand that Watson was not Reid’s most outstanding disciple. If Reid knew that his strength had improved so quickly, he would also pay more attention to him. The other disciples in the courtyard would also regain their respect for him, serving him tea and massaging him.
Just thinking about it made Samuel excited. He felt that he was about to reach the peak of his life.
“Okay, then let’s go to the courtyard now.”
Christina gladly accepted Samuel’s suggestion. She had just received Watson’s gift and wanted to see how strong she had gotten. Samuel’s suggestion was exactly what she wanted.
Two people with different thoughts returned to the courtyard together. Once the news of the duel spread, the whole courtyard was in an uproar. All the Sword Saint’s disciples were there to watch the duel, even some of the servants in the mansion were hiding in the dark. It was a duel between their eldest senior brother and their master’s daughter—it would be bound to be interesting.
At that moment, Christina and Samuel stood in the middle of the arena, each holding a wooden sword and standing more than ten meters away from each other.
“Who do you think will win in the duel, Eldest Senior Brother or Miss Christina?”
A few Sword Saint’s disciples had gathered nearby and sat on the benches to watch the duel; they were discussing the fight.
“I think Miss Christina will win. After all, she had been in the City of Steel to continue Master’s legacy. When she came back, she had matured quite a bit.”
Then, another person said, “I think Eldest Senior Brother would win. He has been by Master’s side for so many years, so how could her training beat that? Nothing could be more advantageous than the Sword Saint’s teachings. Even Master said that Eldest Senior Brother is stronger than Miss Christina in terms of strength.”
“Alright, it’s useless to argue about that. Why don’t we make a bet? We can bet on the Eldest Senior Brother and Miss Christina. Let’s see who wins?”
“That’s a good suggestion. I’ll bet on Miss Christina. Ten gold coins.”
“I’ll bet on the Eldest Senior Brother. Fifty gold coins!”
The Sword Saint’s disciples were having a great time gambling. Samuel and Christina’s duel was due to begin.
“Tina, are you ready? My attack might be much stronger than before. You have to be careful.” Samuel reached out and touched the wooden sword in his hand. He could feel the wail coming from the blade in his hand. It seemed like the wooden sword was afraid of him. It was no wonder—he had the power of a highly toxic god in his body. Everything in the world would be frightened of him.
It seemed like he had to show mercy to avoid hurting Tina. While he was thinking about that, Christina held the wooden sword in front of her. “Come on, Senior Brother Samuel.”
“Then, I won’t be polite. Platinum-tier fighting technique—Void Blade! ”
Samuel started with his best fighting technique. The space was cut open, and a high-precision wind blade made of pure wind cut through the space. It appeared out of thin air and was in Samuel’s left hand.
With the wooden sword in one hand and the Void Blade in the other, Samuel waved the two blades simultaneously. The intersecting sword aura left a pitch-black pattern in the air, shattering the space like a mirror. The entire courtyard was rocked. That move made all the disciples there exclaim in surprise. Samuel’s move was more than ten times more powerful than they had imagined.
After all, Samuel was at the peak of the diamond tier. Even if he deliberately held back, the attack he released could not be compared to the past.
Then, Samuel turned around with his back toward Christina. He raised the sword in his hand, ready to welcome victory. He thought Christina would not be able to resist that move. Defeating Christina with one move was the script that he had arranged. It could prove how powerful he was.
However, a few seconds after that, the expected praises and exclamations did not ring out. Instead, everyone looked at him with a strange expression. That made Samuel feel puzzled, and he subconsciously turned around.
The sword aura he released had stopped in front of Christina. It did not cause any damage, and Christina had blocked it easily.
The sword aura settled in front of Christina. As she clenched her right hand gently, the two sword auras immediately shrunk. They spun obediently in her palm. “Senior Brother Samuel, what are you doing? The battle is not over yet. Why are you leaving the field? Don’t tell me you think your soft sword aura can defeat me? ”
