"What the…" Niadin watched the battle speechlessly. He expected Sun Zhou Yi would win the battle but he never thought to be this dominating.
'Doesn't he has Divine Crow's bloodline? That's it?'
Meanwhile, Sun Zhou Yi was also a little surprised. He did not expect to win the battle this easy against the strongest.
Before Heero came into his life, he admired Ryan White. He looked up to this man and now he beat him down.
Sun Zhou Yi looked down at his hand, he truly could not believe he would win against Ryan White.
'All of this given to me by Master,' That was Sun Zhou Yi's thought at the moment.
After a moment, he began approaching Ryan White. Since the fight started, he did not move even an inch from his original spot. He just controlled his Ki Shafts to defeat Ryan White. That was why he was surprised to defeat the strongest hero.
'Does it mean he is no longer the strongest?'
"Uwaaaa!" A scream came from Ryan White.
Sun Zhou Yi stopped his advance and looked up. A huge blaze of flame came out of Ryan White's body. It engulfed all Ki Shafts, but the flame was too weak to burn the Ki Shaft.
Sun Zhou Yi activated his Mythical Eyes. He looked into Ryan White's Ki.
'It seems I am stronger than him now…' He could tell that from the Ki density. Ryan White's Ki was strong but also unorganized. He could use it but did not have full control over the Ki.
'Ki Comprehension… He did not inherit a bloodline but he did not have a technique to control his Ki properly…'
It was Sun Zhou Yi's conclusion. At this point, Sun Zhou Yi was confident that Ryan White was not his match. He approaches the struggled Ryan White and declared, "I win it seems,"
However, Ryan White did not listen to Sun Zhou Yi's declaration. He was madly resisting, trying to break free of the Ki Shafts.
"Alright, enough! It's painful to watch," Old Man Niadin appeared next to Sun Zhou Yi and kicked Ryan White's head.
As his head was kicked, Ryan White stopped his madness and looked up. He met with the old man's gaze then tears trickled down from his eyes.
"Huh!? Are you crying now? Really?!" Niadin was shocked. Ryan White could hold down against the poison of the Abyss Parasite. He thought this guy had a strong will yet he was crying now.
Humiliated, he never felt this humiliated in his life. His pride was crumbling down. There was nothing left in him, he lost his family, the power he was proud of was nothing more in front of Sun Zhou Yi. The new hero that just popped off a little over a year.
Sun Zhou Yi could not help but feel bad. He looked at the old man, "It's okay to cry, it's normal,"
"Let's give him some time alone, old man,"
Ryan White just lost his family, he was left alone now. But then, he did not cry but only anger. Now he was crying, showing his true emotion.
Just like that, the two left Ryan White alone. The Ki Shafts that locked him down also disappeared.
Sun Zhou Yi did his daily routine. He tied a huge boulder to his waist with training circlets around his wrist and ankles before he started his daily jog.
The scene kinda funny to Niadin. One guy was running in a huge circle of the grass plain while another was crying in the center of it. The ground also vibrated as Sun Zhou Yi dragged a huge boulder with him.
However, Niadin focused his attention on Ryan White. He wanted to take Ryan as his disciple but now he reconsidered his decision. He was looking for a tough guy, not a cry baby.
There was nothing wrong with crying, it was a way for humans to show his sorrow. Niadin the Void Dragon at least understood that.
It was just the course of action that was off to him. Ryan blamed someone in his madness, and now the thing that caused that had been taken off. He was supposed to be able to judge the situation clearly if he was smart enough. But from the current situation, the guy still targeted Heero for some reason. Now, he was crying after getting crushed by Heero's disciples.
Niadin could not understand this, and so he closely observed Ryan White.
Just like that, an hour passed by. Sun Zhou Yi was done with his warming up.
Even though he had been running with the huge boulder and training circlets on his wrist and ankles, he only sweated a little.
"Should I add two more boulders tomorrow?" Sun Zhou Yu questioned himself as he untied the boulder.
"Nah, you are okay. This kind of routine no longer matters to you except for warming up your body. You have built your body well, let your Ki nourish your body further," Old Man Niadin commented at Sun Zhou Yi's mumble.
Sun Zhou Yi nodded and looked toward the old man while stretching his body.
"I am ready for today's training," He announced with some anticipation in his tone.
"We can wait for that, that guy seems to have something with you," Niadin pointed toward Sun Zhou Yi's back.
Sun Zhou Yi followed the direction and turned around. Ryan White was standing right behind him, two meters away from him. His eyes were red from crying but the tears had been dried up.
"What's up?"
"Do you have some time? I want to talk to you," Ryan White opened his mouth, and a rough voice flowed out.
Sun Zhou Yi did not immediately give his answer. He turned toward the old man, asking for his permission.
Old Man Niadin waved his hand casually at Sun Zhou Yi, "You can go,"
"Sure, what do you want to talk about?" Sun Zhou Yi turned towards Ryan White and replied with a nod.
After that, Ryan White and Sun Zhou Yi had a private conversation. Old Man Niadin did not know what they were talking about.
*** ***
Ryan White knelt toward Heero, "I will tell everything that I know about them but in return, I want to be your disciple!"
"Huh?!" Heero was bewildered.
It was just yesterday, Ryan White was still blaming him for his family's death. But now, he wanted to be his disciple. It was too sudden for Heero.
He turned toward Old Man Niadin, with his gaze, he was asking what he did to this guy.
Niadin shrugged his shoulders lightly as he was also clueless. After this morning, he did not talk with Ryan White at all.
"Why all of sudden? Didn't you want to kill me to avenge your family?" Heero looked down at Ryan White.
"I apologize for wrongly accusing you, but I need to be stronger to avenge my family!" Ryan White gave a strong reply.
"Have you found out the murderer? Don't tell me you want me to train you to kill me, right?"
"No, Sun Zhou Yi has told everything. Based on your investigation, it was Rodin who killed my family!" Ryan White replied immediately.
Indeed, he was asking Sun Zhou Yi about everything that happened outside.
"You listen to my disciple but you won't listen to me…" Heero shook his head and tapped Ryan White's shoulder, "There's no need for you to be stronger, you only need to provide me the information you have, and I will kill them all for you!"
In the first place, it was his purpose. Killing all specters and forces that related to God Horas. He thought the people behind all of this related to God Horas. They had the same purpose but a different target.
"No, I want to kill him with my own hands!" Ryan White shook his head strongly.
"Then I will bring him to you, Rodin, right? I will bring him to you and you can have your revenge later. Just give me the information, where do you get your bloodline? Give me the location!" Heero made his promise.
If Ryan White wanted to kill Rodin or the people who impersonated Rodin, he could help with that. But accepted him as his disciple? It was not an option for Heero.
"Why? Why don't you want to accept me?" Ryan White looked up with his reddened eyes.
"Then let me ask you too, why? Why do I have to receive you to be my disciple?" Heero returned the question with another question too.
Yes, there was no reason for him to accept Ryan White to be his disciple. With his current workload, he could not afford his spare time to train his wife's admirer.
When Ryan White was asked by Heero, he was stunned slightly. His eyes widened a little as he realized something.
"Don't you want my information?"
"If you don't tell me with your own will then I will force my way to dig that information out of you. To be honest, your information might or might not be useful to me. I am just desperate enough and trying my luck, maybe I can find them based on the information you have!" That was Heero's honest thought.
Indeed, after a week, these people might have moved the dungeon if it was a dungeon. If it was not a dungeon, then they might have moved out of that location.
He just wanted to gather more information about his enemy. Intel, he lacked an intel of his enemy.
"Then accept me as your disciple! Take it or leave it!" Ryan White gave off a strong stance with his choice. He wanted to avenge his family by his hand even he had to beg against someone who stole his crush.
