Catastrophe Card King
Chapter 1451 - Chapter 1451 Chapter 445 Selected Barre Shepherds Disciple

Chapter 1451: Chapter 445: Selected, Barre Shepherd’s Disciple, Curse God Card_3 Chapter 1451: Chapter 445: Selected, Barre Shepherd’s Disciple, Curse God Card_3 Leonard Churchill pondered as he looked around.

Why would Young Master Sack, the son of a powerful Duke, always carry a slave with him?

The only explanation was that this slave must be special.

Everyone understood that this was Young Master Sack’s way of testing their strength.

But here, of all places?

After getting permission, a squire with a short sword at his waist immediately stepped forward to challenge.

However, to everyone’s surprise, in the blink of an eye, the challenger was sent flying with a single punch by the skinny young man, smashing a wooden stool to pieces.

The scene left everyone dumbfounded.

The person who had thrown the punch was Kenpo, an assassin type, and considered a master among the hundred or so squires.

But he was defeated just like that?

In one move?

No, more precisely, a flaw was exploited, and victory was decided with a single strike.

Leonard, with his current level of skill, could certainly see the gap in their techniques.

But he was even more astonished by the black Curse Power exuding from the youth!

“Gluttony Secret Method?”

Leonard was taken aback to see a card master practicing the same Breathing Method as himself.

But his surprise didn’t stop there.

If it were just the Gluttony Secret Method, he might have thought it was a legacy from a Martial Arts School in the Southern Continent.

But upon seeing the youth’s technique, awe filled his heart: “Overlord Fist?”

The initial advantage of learning the Overlord Fist is overpowering others with superior technique!

Now adept in the Overlord Fist, Leonard recognized instantly that the youth’s technique was Barre Shepherd’s unique legacy–the Overlord Fist!

“Is this young man a disciple of Elder Shepherd?”

Leonard knew Elder Shepherd’s nature all too well.

The Old Man was devoted to Martial Arts and rarely took the time to mentor disciples.

Unless… unless he encountered a talent of the highest caliber.

Leonard, seeing the young man repel his opponent with a single punch, immediately speculated about his background.

Almost certainly, Barre encountered this commoner youth during his travels in the Southern Continent, saw his outstanding potential, and then decided to mentor him a little.

However, for reasons unknown, the young man ended up enslaved.

Having been taught by Barre himself, Leonard felt a sudden kinship with the youth.

…

Seeing this, Young Master Sack, unable to hide his disappointment, asked again, “Is there anyone else who can fight?”

“I will!”

As he spoke, another dazed youth stood up.

Then, in a few short exchanges, he was struck in the chest with a punch and sent flying backward.

The third, fourth, fifth…

Even the best only lasted a dozen or so moves.

Without exception, none were a match for the dark-skinned youth.

While onlookers were left stunned, Leonard wasn’t surprised at all.

Battles at the card master apprentice tier hardly involve any Law Understanding, mostly revolving around skill and external factors.

At this stage, close-combat card masters have a clear advantage.

And Overlord Fist is quite special.

This epic level Fist Method is difficult to master.

But once mastered, one is assured a significant advantage.

The dark-skinned youth’s Enlightenment was exceptional, and his gaze was rebellious.

Leonard had already seen a shadow of the young Barre Shepherd from a century ago.

“Hehe, the Old Man really picked a good seed…”

Leonard murmured, but then thought, “But speaking of which, I wonder how the Old Man is doing these days.”

Leonard still deeply cared about the elder Barre, who had significantly influenced his transcendental path.

Now seeing this dark-skinned youth reduced to a slave, he had a bad premonition.

….

After defeating six opponents, all overwhelmingly, no one else stepped forward.

It was not that they were afraid of losing, but that no one was confident they could break through such a dominant technique.

Young Master Sack pursed his lips, utterly uninterested, and turned to leave.

It was because of this boy’s abilities and excellent talent that he had stayed by his side, albeit as a slave.

Sack had hoped to discover similar “surprises” among his own squires.

Seeing none, he was deeply disappointed.

The youths felt humiliated, but no one spoke.

The large dining hall was suddenly filled with awkward silence.

However, from Leonard’s perspective, it wasn’t that the squires weren’t good enough; it was that the dark-skinned youth was simply too exceptional.

Barre Shepherd’s Overlord Fist, developed through combat, featured no frills, mainly consisting of moves that subdued the opponent in one strike.

Once mastered, few within the same tier could rival the Overlord Fist.

Especially when this phase was about comparing skills among card master apprentices.

Interestingly, after Young Master Sack left, he left the dark-skinned youth in the dining hall.

According to the butler’s intention, he was to join them for the meal.

After a long silence, those who were injured swallowed their indignation and quietly resumed eating.

No one else spoke.

The pride of everyone had seemed to shatter at once.

Only the sound of rustling munching filled the dining hall.

Leonard’s table also sat down again.

Dwarf Gangduodu grumbled, “Good thing I was too slow to get there… I might be stronger than him, but I’d definitely get beaten.”

He had stood up earlier, but because he was a dwarf, his legs were short, and he was a step slower than others.

He had thought he’d missed a chance to show off, but it turned out he avoided a beating instead.

Leonard found it amusing.

However, even more unexpectedly, hearing the instructions from Young Master Sack’s personal butler, the Knight Captain also looked troubled.

After scanning around, he led the young man to Leonard’s table.

It seemed he felt their table–with a dwarf and a Lizardman–adding another oddity wouldn’t be out of place.
