Chapter 8 - Ch 8 - The first victory

Amadeus kept looking at the ground for some time. Then he had a hysterical laugh. He knew he had a surge of energy inside him. He looked around. The sky was turning crimson. He started walking towards his quarters. Then he began running, knowing that he needed to be inside the quarter before anyone awoke.

Soon, a bell started ringing. The lights are turning on. One after another, doors are opening, and the servant disciples are yawning and getting up from bed. They are getting ready for their morning chores.

As the name suggests, the servant disciple is a disciple and a servant of the sect. And so, they have to finish a large number of chores every day.

For example, in the Red Reed Peak, where Amadeus lived, for example, the task of six hundred servant disciples each day is to cut down fully grown oak trees. The disciple is expected to cut one tree in two days.

However, for the average low-grade servant disciple, this is definitely not a small challenge. It's not easy to cut those oak trees. Ordinary servant disciples might not even be able to cut down a tree in seven or eight days, sometimes even longer.

Even Marcus, the most powerful person on the Red Reed Peak, would need three to four days to cut down a single Oaktree. Of course, with Marcus's domineering personality, he wouldn't be an honest worker. That would be another problem!

Twenty days ago, Amadeus basically had to endure the night to complete his chores. His luck was not good, and he might even have to work overtime overnight. However, the current Amadeus is no longer the same as before. He had a low rank in the sect but his inner strength has grown in leaps and bounds. He is now much faster, quicker, and swift. He has greater control over his body and his wrist movement are now more subtle. With just a casual strike, he had surpassed the Hundred Cauldron Strength. With just two or three strikes, he is able to cut down an oak tree!

In less than half a day, he had chopped off a big tree with a trunk the size of an elephant. He is now cutting the branches and tying them into small bunches.

"Bang!"

Another oak tree gets cut down by Amadeus. With a flash of the blade, the branches fell to the ground one by one.

"So here you are, Amadeus. Clearing the wood to get firewood for the winter. Trying to be a good servant. "

Amadeus looked towards the source of the voice. Numitor is standing at a distance, mocking him.

"Yes, you heard it right. Servant. You are not a servant disciple. Just a servant. It suits you. "

Amadeus is angry. His blood is boiling. He kept chopping the branches. "Oh! Anger. Good. Rage! Good, good." Numitor chuckled.

"Numitor!"

"Don't be angry. I am here to collect my share of firewood. "

Numitor started collecting bunches of chopped wood.

"You will not do that." Amadeus' voice is sharp. He is holding his ax on the wrist of Numitor. Numitor tried to pull a bunch. But then he felt his own blood dripping. Amadeus' axe is cutting through the flesh.

Numitor kept the bunch down. He is angry. He is getting humiliated by Amadeus, and he cannot take it.

"Well Numitor, why hurry? Let me pay you the interest first." Amadeus coldly told Numitor.

Amadeus wanted to deal with Marcus. For the last three months, Marcus was in charge, but the one who really bullied him was mostly Numitor!

"Eh? Did you actually cut the entire tree? " As Numitor pressed his thumb on his cut to stop bleeding, he did not even look at Amadeus. His eyes are fixed on the neatly piled branches of oak. A trace of surprise flashed across his long face.

That is admirable, but trash is trash. So, tell me, did you wake up in the middle of the night to perform your duties? " Numitor asked him sarcastically.

"I have no other option," Amadeus told him coldly.

"Fine by me, just give me my share. And you are free. "

"Your share?"

"Yes, like refreshing soup bowls that you hand over to me, now you will hand me over this oak tree." Numitor rubbed his hands together, and the corners of his mouth curled up. A trace of an evil smile appeared on his face.

"But this is not a bowl of soup and this is not the kitchen." Amadeus' voice is sharp.

Numitor stopped for a moment. Then he loosened the knot of the rope tied to his waist. and tied it to one of the bunches. Then he turned to Amadeus and said, "No, it is not. But, only the place has changed, not the person. "

He burst into laughter. And started walking pulling the bunch of chopped wood behind him.

"Numitor, it's time to settle the score between us! "

Numitor is stunned when he hears Amadeus. Then, as if he had heard a ridiculous joke, he laughed loudly. "Hahaha! This is so funny! You're just a piece of trash! You're not there yet. You still haven't mastered the basics of a sword fight. Forget about settling accounts with me. "

Numitor waited to see the effects of his words. Amadeus is looking at him expressionless.

"Fine! I'll loosen your bones today so you can remember this day forever. Don't think, just because you're about to be expelled from the Sect, I won't dare beat you up! "

As he spoke, Numitor rubbed his fists and dashed towards Amadeus. He knew if he didn't teach Amadeus a lesson, Amadeus will be a problem in the future.

Amadeus kept still for a moment. As Numitor came close to him and attacked him. Amadeus blocked his attack and said, "Numitor, always choose your opponent wisely."

Amadeus pushed Numitor, and Numitor went flying back. He got hit by the tree trunk and then fell to the ground.

Amadeus let out a loud roar. Thunderous sounds rolled out of his body, shaking the surroundings. The strength in his body is surging at the same time!

Amadeus attacked first. His body tore through the air and arrived in front of Numitor in an instant. He twisted his body and threw out a punch with lightning speed. He is the one who took the initiative to attack first!

Amadeus didn't use any martial skills in this punch. It is just a simple punch, but when combined with Amadeus's current strength, his superpower, and the power of the Eighth Grade Bloodline, the punch is incomparably terrifying. It is enough to make countless servant disciples feel despair. He threw out a punch that condensed two hundred cauldron strengths, which could split open mountains and split rocks!

"How dare you!" Numitor felt his vision blur. Amadeus, the person he looked down upon, had already closed in on him and punched him. He let out a wild roar and couldn't dodge in time. All he could do is to activate all the inner forces in his body and throw out a punch, wanting to meet Amadeus head on!

"Bang!"

The two men's fists collided with a loud bang. Like falling meteorites, they crash into the ground!

Bang!

"Ah!" A blood-curdling scream sounded out from Numitor's mouth, like a pig being slaughtered. Numitor's body got pushed back violently. The force of over two hundred cauldrons is so great that even many seasoned sect warriors wouldn't dare face it head-on. Besides, Numitor is still learning, although his rank is above Amadeus he is not a master. It was just a single punch. Numitor's right-hand bone was shattered by Amadeus, and the terrifying force continued to spread. Large

amounts of blood kept dripping down from the wound between his thumb and forefinger.

Amadeus didn't show any mercy. He kept punching him. A heart-wrenching wail can be heard in the air. It hit Numitor's lower abdomen. This is not enough to vent his anger. Amadeus swept his leg again and swept it out. This time, Numitor didn't

even make a sound. He was sent flying like a sandbag. He fell to the ground and created a huge human-shaped hole. Blood spurted out and shattered teeth got scattered all over the ground. No one knew how many bones had been shattered in his entire body!

Amadeus rushed forward again. He is as fast as lightning. He stepped on the leg bone of Numitor's right leg. The crazy force instantly crushed Numitor's leg into pieces.

"Argh!" The intense pain woke Numitor from his sleep. What welcomed him was a fist the size of a sandbag. Amadeus opened his left and right hands, punching Numitor in the face with his sandbag-sized fist. Fortunately, Amadeus still had some rationality. He knew that although the Mithraea Warrior Sect couldn't help exchanging servant disciples, they still had to exchange pointers. However, if someone were to die, that would be a huge matter, so he slightly withdrew some of his strength!

"Tell me who asked you to do evil deeds."

"Who asked you to bully the rookies?"

"Who asked you to snatch my refreshing soup?"

" Who asked you to snatch my chopped oak tree?"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Hahaha, so that's how it feels to hit people. Awesome! "

"Bang!"

Amidst his wild laughter, a bone explosion that sounded like a tidal wave burst out of Amadeus's body. Sand and stones started flying all around him, and his inner

House of IX

strength started surging crazily! It is as if an ancient, ferocious beast had completely awakened within Amadeus's body!
