My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start Chapter 374 – I’m Only Asking For Directions

At the Sword Saint family’s courtyard in the royal city.

The Sword Saints have had a long history. Over the generations, they have had many outstanding talents, especially Frederick. He was known as the strongest person and with the highest military power in the kingdom. His family was not originally from the royal city but from the northern part of the kingdom.

Standing in front of the mansion’s gate, Christina looked at the crisscrossed sculptures in the shape of two divine swords and the fiery-red skin on the entrance wall. She looked bewildered.

“I haven’t been home for several years. That place actually feels a bit strange to me.”

She muttered to herself as she stood in front of the gate. At that moment, she heard a few young people’s happy discussions coming from the entrance.

“Eldest Senior Brother, it’s really worth it to attend the banquet that His Majesty had prepared for Master Antonio today! I didn’t have high expectations for the banquet before I went. After all, that kind of banquet has always been used to connect with those noblemen. We might as well go and train more. But today is different. That young man, Watson, he is likely platinum-tier, right?”

“Platinum-tier? I don’t think so. It was apparent he did not use his full strength when he fought against the tainted unicorn. I wonder how strong he is when he uses his full strength. How are his skills in fighting techniques compared to mine? ”

“Eldest Senior Brother, that young man is Master Antonio’s disciple. He must be a mage. And you want to compete with him in fighting techniques? Aren’t you bullying him?”

The door opened, and a few young men emerged. If Watson were here, he would have been able to recognize them as the people who had appeared at the banquet in the palace.

The young men saw Christina and were stunned.

“Tina! You are Tina, right?”

The leader had long black hair tied with a simple headband. His hands were in his loose robe, and there was a longsword at his waist. He looked excited when he saw Christina.

The two young men beside him were also excited. “Miss Christina is back! Master will be thrilled to know about that! Quickly, go and inform Master!”

“Senior Brother Samuel, I’m back.”

A smile appeared on Christina’s tired and beautiful face.

“It’s good that you’re back. You must have suffered while you lived outside for so many years. If Master had not forbidden us from looking for you, I would not have allowed you to be by yourself for all these years.” The man named Samuel walked up to Christina. He reached out with his right hand to sweep the dust off Christina’s face, but the latter took a step back and dodged it.

Samuel’s eyes darkened. He withdrew his hand awkwardly and scratched his head. “Tina, you just came back today. You must be exhausted. Go take a bath and rest. I’ll inform Master about your return.”

….

Splash.

Sounds of splashes echoed as she walked into the water. Christina leaned against the side of the bath, letting her wet hair hang over her face. She looked up at the night sky. There was no one else in the tub except for her.

As she looked at the stars in the sky, a trace of reminiscence appeared on her face. She remembered when she was in a hot spring somewhere, and there was a talented youth beside her. They also fought in the hot spring. She blushed when she thought of the fight and Watson’s naked body.

The stars in the sky gradually connected, outlining the appearance of the young man.

‘I haven’t returned home for many years. Many things in the house have changed. Just like this hot spring bath, it did not exist when I left home a few years ago!’

‘It’s not only my family, but I have also changed a lot as well. It is all because of Watson. According to my senior brothers, Watson seemed to have been in the limelight at His Majesty’s banquet. That kind of thing is indeed something he could do.’

When she thought of Watson, the confusion on Christina’s face turned into confidence. ‘I don’t know if he has forgotten me, but it doesn’t matter. Anyway, I passed the assessment. In the future, he and I will be classmates in the same academy, and we will also be in the same department! During the assessment, I heard someone in the academy say that Watson applied for the warrior department. He is a mage, but he applied for the warrior department. Why? Did he have someone in the warrior department that he cares about?’

‘Is it me?’

That thought suddenly appeared in Christina’s mind. After all, Watson had come from the border. The only person he knew in the Royal Academy was her. Then, she thought about the fierce battle she had with Watson in the hot springs. The shadow reflected on her face became redder and redder. She could not help but reach out and lightly pat the surface of the water, and a sharp sword aura immediately cut it.

“Watson must have a reason for wanting to join the warrior department. Maybe he joined the warrior department for me, to fight me. That’s so arrogant!’

Christina’s ears twitched as she glanced at the water in front of her shyly. Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice.

“Master, are you sure it’s appropriate for you to go in without the Sword Saint family?”

“Don’t worry. I come here often. I’m more familiar with this place than my own home. Furthermore, if I inform them, that b*stard Reid will put on airs and allow his disciples to come out to greet me! He won’t let me see him easily! But, to be honest, this place has indeed changed after staying on Mount Creation for a few years. I remember there were no buildings here before. Watson, you go ahead and take a look. I will look elsewhere.”

Christina thought that one of them sounded like Antonio. However, the voice soon became farther away—it was hard to judge.

“What’s going on? Are Watson and Master Antonio here?” Christina wrapped the towel around her chest tightly.

Impossible.

She quickly dispelled her thoughts. The timing of Watson and Antonio’s appearance was too coincidental. Based on Antonio’s identity, it was impossible for him to barge into someone else’s residence without informing them. Perhaps she only thought that because she missed him so much that she was hallucinating.

Christina comforted herself until she saw a familiar face poking out of the edge of the bath. It was some distance away from her, on the surface of the water, and it greeted her.

“Oh, Lady Swordmistress, we meet again! I want to ask where the Sword Saint’s room is. My master is too unreliable. He said that he was very familiar with this place, but he got lost the moment we entered.”

There was a towel wrapped around Christina’s body. The wet towel could only cover her chest and other important parts, exposing most of her snow-white skin. Furthermore, the towel was wet and stuck to her body, revealing her exquisite curves.

“It’s an illusion. All of this is my illusion.”

Christina closed her eyes. After a long while, she opened her eyes with difficulty. Watson was still standing in front of her with a puzzled look on his face. “Why aren’t you talking? Are you shy because you’re bathing? You’ve seen me naked once before, so we’ll call it even. And to be honest, I’m not interested in you, so I won’t have any ill intentions toward you. You can rest assured.”

Watson intended to express that he would not think about matters between men and women, especially at his age. However, his words had another meaning in Christina’s ears.

Christina’s lips trembled, and she gritted her teeth as she said, “Watson, you b*stard, I’m going to kill you! Platinum-tier peak fighting technique, Infinite Sword In One!”

Swish!

The water surface split into two as a longsword condensed from combat aura flew up rapidly. It was as if she wanted to split everything in front of her, including Watson, into two.

When Christina released her fighting skill, the sword aura that had always filled the sky fell simultaneously. However, Christina had fused the sword aura into one. It was not as gorgeous as before, but its power was several times stronger.

However, that sword attack did not pose a threat to Watson. It was like a piece of glass hitting a steel plate—it shattered into pieces. Watson did not do anything. He withstood that attack with his physical body.

That scene caused Christina’s anger to simmer slightly. The expression in her eyes was gradually replaced by disbelief.

Previously, when she fought with Watson, she could at least feel his power. However, at that time, she did not feel anything. Watson was like a bottomless abyss or a deep sea. No one knew what was hidden under his calm appearance.

As she traveled to the royal city from the City of Steel, her strength had increased rapidly. Even if she were not comparable to Watson, at least she would not be too far off. However, it seemed that she had underestimated Watson yet again.

“Lady Swordmistress, it’s not appropriate for acquaintances to fight and kill each other when they meet. I’m just asking for directions.”

The broken sword’s energy traveled along Watson’s body and landed around the hot spring. It shot holes in the rocky walls and ceiling; the rocks fell with dust.

“Tina, why is it so noisy in there? What happened? Are you okay?”

The noise attracted the attention of the other members of the Sword Saint family. A man’s voice came from outside the bath.

“Senior Brother Samuel, I’m fine. Don’t come in.”

Christina’s expression changed. She quickly took off the towel wrapped around her body. An intense combat aura emerged and turned into a layer of milky-white light element armor that wrapped around her body.

For some reason, Christina did not feel disgusted when she showed her towel-wrapped body in front of Watson. However, she panicked when she realized that other people might see her body. Fortunately, she managed to wrap herself in combat aura armor as Samuel flew over the pool like a huge rock.

Samuel was stunned when he saw Christina wrapped in combat aura armor in the hot spring and Watson standing near her. He did not know why Watson was there. Then, he reacted, and his eyes were burning with anger.

A man and a woman were in the hot spring, and one of them was naked. It was needless to say what had happened.

“Watson, I saw you at the banquet during the day. You are a mage, but you have mastered a profound sword technique. I admire you very much. I didn’t expect Master Antonio’s disciple would be such a shameless person, sneaking into other people’s houses to peek at girls bathing in the middle of the night? I must teach you a good lesson. You should understand that you can’t do things recklessly just because of your identity.”

Samuel spread the wings on his back furiously. Upon closer inspection, one would realize that those were not wings but sword energy. Amidst the overlapping sword energy, Samuel reached his hand outward and drew a sword.

“Platinum-tier fighting technique, Void Blade!”
