Chapter 8

“The person from the Crusader Shrine…”

“Is he the berserker that people are talking about?”

In the sect master tower, the master of the Li Fire Sect who was having a morning meeting raised his eyebrows.

“Why is this guy here in our Li Fire Sect? !”

The elders and the tower lords looked grim.

Berserker!

He came from the Beilageluoya Empire’s Crusader Shrine.

1

He was extremely talented. Traveling all the way north from the Shrine, he had been challenging the prodigies of various sects to train himself.

Now, the berserker had already challenged ninety-eight sects and fought a total of ninety-eight prodigies.

Moreover, he had won all the ninety-eight battles!

Thus, the berserker Wharton had become the most famous existence among the younger generation in the Beilageluoya Empire.

“Sect Master, I’m afraid that he is here to challenge our Holy Maiden. The Holy Maiden is now at a crucial moment in her cultivation to become a second-tier mage!” The Black Dragon Tower Lord said in a deep voice.

After thinking for a moment, the sect master said, “Warwick, go and tell Natasha to finish her cultivation and get out of seclusion. The rest of you bring your core disciples and go with me to the main gate to welcome the guest.”

“Yes, Sir!”

Instantly, the entire sect got busy.

Although Wharton the Berserker was only twenty years old, his strength had already reached the level of a third-tier mage. Moreover, he cultivated both magic and martial arts. Not only was he proficient in magic spells, but he had also integrated them into his martial arts.

Most importantly, he had the support of Crusader Shrine, which was an ancient sect. He had a bright future and people would not be surprised even if he broke through to the Arch Mage Realm!

He was such a genius that even the master of the Li Fire Sect had to treat him with respect!

Soon, the master of the Li Fire Sect came to the main gate flanked by elders and core disciples.

“I am Wharton Camiseus. Greetings to the master and elders of the Li Fire Sect,” the Berserker said in a deep voice.

“Wharton, right? Would you come in and rest for a while?” The sect master smiled and asked.

The berserker shook his head.

“There’s no need. You should know the purpose of my visit.”

The sect master nodded.

“I can guess it. If I’m not wrong, this time, Wharton, you are here to have practice fight with the disciples of our Li Fire Sect, right?”

The berserker nodded.

“Yes, Sir. I heard that the Li Fire Sect’s Li Fire Magic is very powerful and exquisite. The Li Fire Holy Maiden is extremely talented and very powerful. I’ve long wanted to have a practice fight with her.”

“Wharton, I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed. Right now, the Holy Maiden is trying to break through to the next realm. I’m afraid she won’t be able to come out in the near future,” the sect master said with a smile.

This berserker was very powerful and had defeated many geniuses, so the sect master didn’t want Natasha to compete with him.

“It’s alright, sir. I’m willing to wait.

“However, I’ve challenged many forces and sects along the way, and none of them dodged my challenge. I’m sure Li Fire Sect won’t dodge it, either, right?”

There was a hint of threat in the berserker’s words.

There was a hidden meaning in his words.

He was trying to say that if the Li Fire Sect didn’t accept his challenge as the other sects had done, it meant that the Li Fire Sect had no excellent disciples and was a joke in the Beilageluoya Empire!

The Li Fire Sect Master frowned when he heard this. He thought for a moment and said to the elder beside him, “Tell Natasha to get ready, but there’s no need to rush. Let me see how patient this kid is.”

“Yes, sir.”

The elder left to deliver the message.

The Li Fire Sect Master said, “Wharton, I’ve sent someone to inform Natasha. Please wait for a moment.”

“Okay.”

The berserker sat down on the ground and closed his eyes to rest.

However, six hours later, the sky was getting dark, but there was no news of Natasha.

The berserker frowned and started to get impatient.

He was extremely smart, so how could he not know what the Li Fire Sect was planning?

Wharton sneered. “If you want to stall me, then I’ll fight the others until the Holy Maiden shows up!”

“Master of Li Fire Sect, since your Holy Maiden won’t come soon, I’ll have practice fights with other disciples in your sect, okay? I heard that your sect has selected some core disciples in the previous disciple competition.

“I will lower the level of the magic power in my body to the same level as theirs.”

While the master of the Li Fire Sect was still thinking, a tower lord beside him whispered, “Sir, why don’t we agree to his suggestion? We can use the opportunity to observe the strength of the berserker, and we can also exhaust him with these fights. When the Holy Maiden comes, the fight will be easier for her.”

The master of the Li Fire Sect nodded.

“Then that’s it. Let the core disciples fight with him.”

“Yes, sir!”

“Walter, go and fight with Wharton!” The Lord of the Black Dragon Tower said to a young man behind him.

Walter stepped out and stood in front of Wharton.

“I’m Walter from the Black Dragon Tower of the Li Fire Sect. Berserker, let’s do our best in the fight.”

Wharton stood up and laughed.

“Level-nine mage apprentice. Good!”

After saying that, the powerful aura on Wharton’s body suddenly decreased until it was on Walter’s level.

Wharton had suppressed his own strength!

1

“Bring it on.”

“Don’t you use a sword?”

Walter was puzzled, with his magic staff in his hand.

“I don’t know if you’re strong enough for me to use my sword!” Wharton sneered.

“Arrogant!”

Walter was furious. The energy poured out from the staff in his hand!

2

“Flame Cage!”

A huge flame erupted from Walter’s staff. In an instant, it shot towards Wharton.

Just as the flame was about to reach him, Wharton attacked!

Wharton’s speed was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Walter. His elbow was like a cannonball as it hit Walter’s lower abdomen.

1

Bang!

A powerful force directly struck Walter’s abdomen, instantly sending him flying.

It was just one move!

He had directly defeated the Li Fire Sect’s core disciple with one strike!

It was a slap to the face!

“So weak.”

Wharton shook his head, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

Although the Li Fire Sect was a second-rate force, it was still considered a top-tier existence among second-rate forces. Even though Wharton had yet to meet the famous Li Fire Holy Maiden, he had had some expectations in his heart.

He had thought that after he suppressed his strength, his opponent would at least be able to exchange one or two moves with him.

But it turned out that if he had not retracted his strength at the last minute, he would have killed the fellow with just one strike!

Too weak!

Was this fellow really a core disciple?
