After Maxing out all Classes

Chapter 963:

Everyone looked and was horrified. The knight from the Beggars Sect had his rabbit fur all tangled up, looking like a filthy, smelly rag. It was terrifying.

Robb covered his nose, Good Lord! Even humans would look like this if they didnt wash their hair. This isnt a rabbit-head issue; its a problem with your Beggars Sect traditions.

Our traditions are not the problem!

Everyone protested in unison. After the protest, the monk said, We, the righteous sects, are in a miserable state because we have to maintain traditions. Meanwhile, the monks from the evil sects, who dont have to shave their heads, are living the good life.

The Shaolin monk looked quite aggrieved, but Robb couldnt make out his sorrow. After staring at him for a while, he felt like laughing again.

The Shaolin monk continued, In any case, the situation is as youve just heard. We are desperately searching for Xuanyuan black iron. This material fell from the sky and belongs to no one, so whoever picks it up owns it. Weve picked up a few pieces, and weve also obtained some from evil-doers while upholding justice. Rest assured, all our sources are legitimate.

At this point, the monks face turned a bit red. Although he made it sound nice, they had essentially taken it from the evil sects. However, these righteous sects did have some principles; they only took from the evil sects, not from other righteous sects. After all, everyones black iron could be combined to forge a sword to kill Chi You and restore everyones human heads. Forming a team for this purpose was not a problem.

They were not as selfish as the evil sects and did maintain the dignity of the righteous sects.

The monk said, We would like to ask for your help, Master Robb (TL: respectful~), to see if you could help us refine these black iron ores. We can forge the Xuanyuan Sword, kill Chi You, and rid the world of this great evil. Everyone will regain the human heads that we should have. Wouldnt that be wonderful? Judging by your earlier actions, you seem to be a kind-hearted person. You should be willing to help, right?

Deep down, Robb was willing to help. The thought of the entire Big Tang having rabbit heads made him uneasy. If there was a way to turn them back into humans, he would be more than willing. However, agreeing right away was not his style and didnt align with his interests. The price had to be negotiated.

Robb snorted, Do I look like someone who likes to help others for free? Look, I have blonde hair; Im a Westerner. You should know that we Westerners love doing business. Theres no such thing as free help, only business to be discussed. Unless you offer something substantial, I wont help you for free.

How can we talk about business? This is for the good of all humanity, the monk said. When doing something for the greater good, one shouldnt be too concerned with personal gains and losses.

Is it really for the greater good? Robb asked skeptically, pulling Shisu towards him. Do you want to regain your human head?

Shisu shook his head, I dont care either way.

Robb then turned to a female rabbit-person behind him, Daughter of the Flying Eagle Sect Master, do you want to regain your human head?

The female rabbit-person corrected him, Sir Robb, youre mistaken. Im the leader of the Blood Hand Sect.

Robb:

She continued, Im not particularly interested in regaining my human form either. Im considered beautiful among rabbit-people, so why should I care if I turn back into a human? Of course, if I do, thats fine too.

Robb turned back to the monk, You hear that? These ladies dont really care. So, your ideal isnt really for the greater good; its just for your group of oddballs.

Monk: You make a compelling argument; I have no rebuttal.

Robb said, So, lets talk business.

The monk looked dejected, Fine, what are your terms?

Robb grinned, My terms are simple. Youre collecting Xuanyuan black iron to kill Chi You, right? After Chi You is defeated, you wont need the Xuanyuan Sword anymore, correct? So, my condition is that I help you forge the Xuanyuan Sword, defeat Chi You, and then you give the sword to me. How does that sound?

Monk: Huh?

Taoist: What?

Beggar: Eh?

Everyone looked at Robb with puzzled expressions.

Robb asked, Why are you all staring at me like that?

The monk, Taoist, and beggar all asked cautiously, What do you plan to do with the Xuanyuan Sword? Do you intend to use it to command the martial arts world? If thats the case, we cant agree to your terms. Well have to fight you.

I have no interest in commanding the martial arts world, Robb chuckled. I can already command the evil sects. Want to bet I can command the righteous sects too?

As he spoke, a golden light emanated from Robb, radiating an overwhelming power that made everyone from the righteous sects take a step back.

Robb retracted the golden light and snorted, Do I need a broken sword to command the martial arts world?

Everyone:

Robb said, I want that sword mainly to slay the Black Dragon!

The righteous sect members collectively gasped, as if their shock alone could warm the global climate: You dare to go after that creature? Its far more terrifying than Chi You. At least Chi You was once defeated by the Yellow Emperor, and various historical records show that all kinds of magical and Taoist techniques are effective against him. But for over a thousand years, the Black Dragon has attacked Big Tang 132 times, spanning multiple dynasties, and no one has ever been able to withstand a single blow from it. That creature is invincible! No matter how strong you are, you cant handle it. Even the Xuanyuan Divine Sword wouldnt be enough to kill the Black Dragon.

Youre absolutely right, Robb agreed. Even the Xuanyuan Sword wouldnt be enough to kill the Black Dragon. However, if we forge multiple Xuanyuan Swords and equip the worlds strongest individuals with them, significantly enhancing the teams attack power, then theres a chance. Ill hold off the Black Dragon from the front, and a large group of people armed with Xuanyuan Swords can stab it repeatedly. That might just do the trick.

Everyone:

Robb continued, Believe it or not, Im already working on this. If you have the means to contact merchants who frequently travel the Silk Road or the Ancient Tea Horse Road, you can confirm this. The entire Western world is already preparing to kill the Black Dragon, united in this cause. Now, its up to you in the Eastern world to join us or not.

Upon hearing this, the members of the righteous sects were momentarily stunned. They knew that Robb was unlikely to be lying; such a lie would be too easily exposed. There are countless merchants traveling the Silk Road and the Ancient Tea Horse Road, and verifying the truth would be as simple as asking a few questions. Would anyone tell such a foolish lie?

So, is the Western world really preparing to confront the Black Dragon?

In an instant, everyone felt their blood surge with excitement.
