《MMORPG: Martial Gamer》Chapter 1572. Challenging An Expert

“Why must I merge with him?” Wang Yu asked again.
While this old fella Luke seemed pretty normal, the words he said were extremely confusing to Wang Yu.
“You didn’t merge with Holy Light Spirit?” Luke’s eyeballs were wide opened now as he stared right into Wang Yu’s eyes and questioned, “Then how did you make your way up here?”
“By the stairs ah…”
Wang Yu looked outside the gate and replied firmly.
Wang Yu really did take the stairs up.
“I…”
Hearing Wang Yu’s reply, Luke almost puked blood.
After a long while, Luke asked Wang Yu helplessly, “Are you not here for my inheritance?”
The flow of the God’s Tower quest was not complicated. According to the normal flow, one simply had to merge with the Holy Light Spirit to create light. Once the world was created, the player would offer his character and obtain the opportunity to reincarnate. After reincarnation, the player would become the inheritor of God of Light…
Since Wang Yu did not merge with Holy Light Spirit, he clearly did not follow the normal flow of the quest.
As the God of Light, the Holy Light Spirit was something that Luke needed. If the player’s physical body was offered to Luke without merging with Holy Light Spirit, he wouldn’t want it at all.
“Your inheritance?” Wang Yu smiled as he shook his head, “No, I am here to look for God’s Glory.”
“God’s Glory?!!”
The moment Wang Yu said that, Luke’s heart sank. He stared at Wang Yu with anger and disbelief, “You… you are the descendant of the Martial God?”
Besides the reincarnation quest, Luke also had another quest on him and that was Wang Yu’s Martial God’s Path.
Since the quest was on him, Luke should accept it naturally. After all, the predestination of an NPC was to serve the players.
The main reason why Luke was so alarmed was because the God’s Glory was Luke’s divinity. The only reason why Luke was able to survive as a spirit was because of his reliance on his divinity.

Now that Wang Yu wanted to take God’s Glory away from him was equivalent to taking away Luke’s divinity. Without his divinity, the outcome was clear.
Wang Yu’s appearance was a total surprise for Luke.
This was because the reincarnation quest was a level 60 quest and it was not considered difficult. As long as one passes the trial, it wasn’t hard to reach the top after merging with the Holy Light Spirit.
And Wang Yu’s Martial God Path was a quest that only level 80 players who had broken through the top could do. The level of difficulty was not imaginable for players at this stage of the game.
The current Luke was merely in his spirit and even with his God’s aura, he was much weaker than before without a physical body.
According to Luke’s plan, he was hoping to attain a player’s physical body during this level 60 stage which could help improve his strength tremendously and swiftly. By that time, nobody could be certain who would emerge victorious during the Martial God’s Path.
However, Luke certainly did not expect that before his descendant came to meet him, Wang Yu, who wasn’t even level 70, came shouting for his life…
“That’s right!”
Wang Yu nodded, “I am the descendant of the Martial God. Old man, I’ve come so far so please hand the God’s Glory to me.”
“Rubbish!”
Luke raged, “What do you think the God’s Glory is? Why must I give you just because you said so?”
“God’s Glory is a quest good that I must obtain!” Wang Yu replied faintly, “Respecting the old and cherishing the young is a tradition and virtue of the Chinese. I do hope that as an elder, you will not make things difficult for me. I really do not wish to attack you.”
Wang Yu was right. Even though this kid had learnt plenty of dirty tricks, there were traits that he couldn’t change about himself. No matter how many times Old Man Hermit had tricked him, Wang Yu had never initiated a fight with him.

“Attack me?”
Hearing what Wang Yu said, Luke almost laughed out loud as he looked down on Wang Yu, “Just you?”
A fallen phoenix might not be better than a chicken but a starving camel is still bigger than a horse.
Luke might have fallen and was reduced to his spirit state but in terms of strength, Luke was still a level 80 BOSS.
Luke might be dead but his divinity was still around. The current Luke not only possessed level 80 strength but also the God-grade ranking of Legendary!
These two suffixes actually meant that he was much stronger than all the other level 80 BOSSes that Wang Yu had met before.
Without mentioning that Wang Yu was alone on this, even if it was a squad of level 80 players here to fight Luke, nobody knew if they could do anything to him.
Wang Yu had not even reached level 70 yet he dared to announce so brazenly that he was trying to steal something from Luke’s hands. In Luke’s eyes, Wang Yu was nothing more than a praying mantis trying to stop a car.
“Haha!”
In face of Luke’s mockery, Wang Yu took one step back, lowered his center of gravity before putting his left hand in front of his stomach. With his right hand extended in front of his chest, he hooked his finger and said, “You will have to try me out if you want to know!”
As a generational master, Wang Yu was naturally able to sense the might of this old man. However, it had always been his habit to challenge the best.
Wang Yu did not even hesitate when he faced the level two hundred Dragon Emperor Dales. As for old man Luke, his might did not scare Wang Yu. In contrast, Wang Yu was exceedingly excited.
This was the most primitive desire to fight from Wang Yu’s heart.
After all, one had to be fearless to improve oneself. Only when one was strong enough would he be successful in every endeavor.
“Good kid! Who knew that you would really take after the Martial God’s demeanor?”
As the God of Light, Luke still had his dignity even after dying. As he was once the supreme expert of heaven and earth, Luke also had his own pride.
Seeing how daring and arrogant Wang Yu was to challenge him, Luke was only slightly taken aback as he slowly stood up from his throne.
Following Luke’s rise from the throne, a boundless aura surged from behind Luke like a massive tsunami.
The king who once ruled over the mortal world had an aura capable of making all living things prostrate themselves in worship.
Even a Dragon Slayer like Wang Yu couldn’t help but furrowed his brows when he felt the immense aura coming from Luke. However, the dignity of a martial artist allowed Wang Yu to stand firmly in front of Luke without moving an inch.
“Eh? You’re indeed worthy enough to fight me!”
Luke was extraordinarily pleased with Wang Yu’s performance as he extended his hand and said to Wang Yu, “Young man, show your weapon! Let me see what you’re capable of.”
“No need!”
Wang Yu shook his hand, “All I need are my fists!”
“Arrogant indeed!”
Luke’s face turned cold as he replied, “And I wonder if you have the rights to be this arrogant!”
Luke clenched his fists as a layer of faint golden radiance was emitted from his body.
At the same time, another warning sounded out in the >’s monitoring team.

8 468Lone: The Wanderer [Dropped Version (includes original draft of the rewrite's first volume)]
Nine-to-five. The daily grind. Life. Painful years of school. Working as a slave for some undeserving corporate big-wig. The monotonous life of unemployment. We all experience this in one way or another, and we can all conclude one thing: it's dull. Such a fact rings true even for the fabled Lone Immortus, a powerful nine-tailed Golden Foxkin. However, what would you do if your monotony was suddenly ground to a halt and you were thrown out of your comfort zone along with a young girl forgotten by time? Perhaps you might have done things differently, been more organised, immediately died, gained control of the world in a matter of days, but this is Lone's tale, not yours. Watching two insecure people struggle to survive and find their place in an unfamiliar land just might be enjoyable to witness. Who knows? One thing's for certain: it won't be an easy path for them to tread, and what could possibly be more entertaining than watching people endure hardships and grow? I know of at least eight gods that would answer with, 'Absolutely nothing.' I wonder, after seeing this journey from start to finish, how would you answer? [Goal of 2 chapters per week, the only exceptions being announced breaks or emergencies] A/N: This story is in the middle of a rewrite, so please forgive any noticeable plot holes and wonky chapter numbers. I am working on it every day, so understanding would be greatly appreciated. The new cover art is a courtesy of the very kind and talented ssddx. This novel is a participant in The Writer's Pledge
