After Maxing out all Classes

The people of Eighteen Divinations stood in shock.

Robb was composed as he said, “Don’t panic! If the altar master kneels, there’s still the flag master, right? Who’s the flag master? Step forward and take command.”

Suddenly, a commotion erupted among the pirates.

Robb chuckled, “So, there’s no such position, huh? I made it up. Then, what’s below the altar master?”

The crowd responded, “It’s the command master!”

Robb continued, “My apologies, my apologies. I’m not well-versed in your organizational structure, but I’m eager to learn. I’ve got it now. Who’s the command master? It’s your turn to step forward and take command.”

The group exchanged glances, uncertain of who would dare claim to be the command master and risk getting a swift and forceful beating, an ‘Eighteen Dragon Strikes.’ After all, the pirate leader and altar master had already provided demonstrations earlier…

Nobody spoke up.

Robb’s gaze swept the crowd and suddenly pointed at someone, saying, “You look a lot like the command master.”

With that, he darted forward, appearing in front of the person in the blink of an eye. He delivered another swift blow with a thud. Yet, the person and those around him hadn’t even managed to react.

The person blinked in confusion, then burst into tears with a plaintive cry, “I’m just a foot soldier, not the command master!” He then took off running toward his home. “I need to go back and see my son one last time.”

Robb’s gaze shifted to another individual who appeared to be a merchant. He started, “You seem like…”

Before he could finish his sentence, the person had already turned and started running, shouting as he went, “I’m not, I really am not!”

However, after just a few steps, Robb had floated behind him and delivered another forceful blow to his forehead.

No one could escape Robb’s strikes!

In a matter of moments, the several hundred pirates fled in panic. The dock was emptied of these lowly pirates.

Robb raised a middle finger at their retreating backs. “A bunch of scum!” he exclaimed.

Returning to the bow of the ship, he turned to look at the rabbit hero named Luo Tuimao. He noticed that Luo was glaring at him with intense rabbit eyes.

Perplexed, Robb asked, “Why are you glaring at me again?”

Luo Tuimao retorted angrily, “It’s one thing to take down the pirate leader, but why are you randomly killing people for no reason? You’re killing whoever looks like the command master. How is this any different from wanton slaughter? I thought I was helping a group of ordinary maritime merchants, but little did I know that I was assisting a bunch of wicked traders. My eyes have been deceived! Now I’m going to confront you. This so-called boundless rivers and lakes have become a chaotic mess thanks to you.”

“Hahaha!” Robb burst into laughter. “Do you think you can beat me?”

Luo Tuimao replied, “Even if I can’t, I’ll still fight!”

Robb shrugged. “Alright, you’re definitely different from those scoundrels. You can at least be called a ‘hero,’ though you might have to add ‘fool’ in front of it. From now on, don’t go by ‘Fist Strikes the Southern Mountain Luo Tuimao’ anymore. It sounds terrible. Change your name to ‘Foolish Hero’ Luo Tuimao.”

Luo Tuimao fumed, “I’m not joking with you. I’m going to fight you.”

At that moment, the two ship captains who could understand some Tang language finally understood what the two were saying. They approached and chuckled, “Mr. Luo, you’ve misunderstood. Godfather wouldn’t randomly kill people. He’s known for disliking killing. He probably just hit their heads for fun.”

Luo Tuimao asked, “Really?”

Robb laughed heartily. “Think about it. I said I shattered their vital points, but if someone’s vital points were shattered, could they run home at full speed? They’d have collapsed on the ground already! They were just scared by my words. Once they run a couple of blocks, they’ll realize it.”

Luo Tuimao suddenly understood. Alright, it seemed that Robb wasn’t a bad person after all. There was no need to fight him to the death.

“Even if they realize it, they wouldn’t dare to cause trouble because they know they can’t beat me. They’d have to find experts to challenge me,” Robb chuckled. “We’re leaving now. How about you accompany us for a while on the ship before disembarking? If you leave now, the members of the Eighteen Divinations who’ve come to their senses will surround and kill you. Set sail, let’s go!”

The two ship captains ordered to set sail, and Luo Tuimao pondered for a moment, realizing that Robb’s words made sense. It was a dead end if he disembarked now. Despite his simple nature, he shouldn’t recklessly seek his own demise. It was better to cooperate for now and follow the fleet.

The three sailboats left the harbor, heading towards the open sea. The previously scattered hard sailboats had regrouped and were hesitatingly following from a distance, ultimately giving up. His ship was smaller than the Western soft-sailed ships and lacked cannons. Long-range combat was out of the question. If they boarded and engaged in hand-to-hand combat, if they couldn’t defeat Robb, they would stand no chance. It was better to decisively abandon the pursuit.

Anyway, they could always find experts. The Eighteen Divinations harbored hidden talents. It was just unfortunate that neither the tigers nor the dragons were present this time.

As the fleet reached the open sea, Luo Tuimao took a seat across from Robb and clasped his fists, saying, “I never expected that Your Excellency would be a master. I’ve misjudged you, and if I’ve offended you, I hope you can forgive me.”

Robb smiled. “No need to be polite. How are your injuries?”

Luo Tuimao lifted his shirt to inspect. They weren’t too severe, just a large bruise. Robb didn’t even bother with healing magic. He had one of the nearby captains give him a bottle of basic healing potion to drink, and the injury quickly healed.

Luo Tuimao exclaimed in astonishment, “What an impressive healing elixir.”

“Alright, let’s focus on the main point,” Luo Bo said, “Can you now tell me about the Xuan Black Iron?”

“Since you are a skilled expert, of course, I can tell you,” Luo Tuimao replied, “However, the rumors in the martial world suggest that those vying for this object are all formidable experts. Some are even considered the best among the best. Your martial arts might not necessarily fare well against them. Let me offer you a piece of advice – wealth is a material possession, which we don’t bring into life, and certainly not into death. It’s not worth getting entangled in such a whirlpool for the sake of the materials for a divine weapon.”

Robb chuckled, “You possess such skills, yet your heart is burdened this way. What a pity.”

Luo Tuimao’s old face turned red; those words truly struck a chord. He sighed and said, “Very well, since you’re insistent on knowing, I’ll tell you what I know… Over a year ago, the sky was suddenly filled with a meteor shower of massive proportions. This meteor shower was vast, and several cities in the central plains simultaneously witnessed its spectacular display. Numerous meteors fell from the sky. Some of them burned up and vanished midway, leaving no trace. However, one meteor managed to successfully land.”
