6th Direct Disciple?

"What the..." Niadin watched the battle speechlessly. He had expected Sun Zhou Yi to win the battle, but he had never expected him to be so dominant.

'Doesn't he have the Divine Crow bloodline? That's all?'

Meanwhile, Sun Zhou Yi was also a bit surprised. He did not expect to win the battle against the strongest so easily.

Before Heero came into his life, he admired Ryan White. He looked up to this man and now he was beating him.

Sun Zhou Yi looked down at his hand, he truly could not believe that he would win against Ryan White.

All of this was given to me by Master," was Sun Zhou Yi's thought at that moment.

After a moment, he began to approach Ryan White. Since the beginning of the fight, he had not moved an inch from his original position.

He only controlled his Ki staff to defeat Ryan White. Therefore, he was surprised to defeat the strongest hero.

'Does this mean that he is no longer the strongest?'

"Arghaaaa!" A scream came from Ryan White.

Sun Zhou Yi stopped his advance and looked up. A huge flame erupted from Ryan White's body. 

It engulfed all the ki staffs, but the flame was too weak to burn them.

Sun Zhou Yi activated his Mythical Eyes. He looked into Ryan White's Ki.

'I seem to be stronger than him now...' He could tell from the Ki density. 

Ryan White's Ki was strong, but also disorganized. He could use it, but he did not have full control over it.

Ki comprehension... He had inherited the bloodline, but he had no technique to control his Ki properly...'

This was Sun Zhou Yi's conclusion. At this point, Sun Zhou Yi was confident that Ryan White was no match for him. 

He approached the struggling Ryan White and declared, "looks like I won."

However, Ryan White did not listen to Sun Zhou Yi's declaration. He struggled madly, 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.

When his head was kicked, Ryan White stopped his madness and looked up. He met the old man's gaze with his unfocussed eyes.

"Huh!? Really now?!" Niadin was shocked. Ryan White could withstand the poison of the Abyss Parasite. He thought this guy had a strong will, yet he looked like he had lost his soul.

Humiliated, he had never felt so humiliated in his life. His pride crumbled. 

There was nothing left in him, he had lost his family, and the power he was proud of was nothing in front of Sun Zhou Yi. 

The new hero who had just emerged a little over a year ago.

"Let's give him some time alone, old man."

Ryan White just lost his family, he was left alone now. But even then he did not cry, he just vented his anger. Now he cried and showed his true feelings.

Just like that, the two left Ryan White alone. The Ki Shafts that had trapped him disappeared as well.

Sun Zhou Yi went about his daily routine. He tied a huge boulder to his waist with training rings around his wrists and ankles before starting his daily jog.

The scene was kind of funny to Niadin. One guy was running in a huge circle on the grassy plain, while another was crying in the middle. The ground also vibrated as Sun Zhou Yi dragged a huge boulder with him.

Niadin, however, focused his attention on Ryan White. He wanted to take Ryan as his disciple, but now he reconsidered his decision. He wanted a tough guy, not a crybaby.

There was nothing wrong with crying, it was a way for humans to show their sorrow. At least Niadin, the Void Dragon, understood that.

It was just the way it was done that was wrong for him. Ryan had blamed someone in his madness, and now the thing that caused it had been taken away. 

He should be able to judge the situation clearly if he is smart enough. But from the current situation, the guy was still targeting Heero for some reason. 

And now he was crying after being crushed by Heero's disciples.

Niadin could not understand this so he watched Ryan White closely.

Just like that, an hour passed by. Sun Zhou Yi had finished his warm-up.

Even though he had been running with the giant boulder and the training rings on his wrists and ankles, he was only sweating a little.

"Should I add two more boulders tomorrow?" Sun Zhou Yu wondered as he untied the boulder.

"No, you are fine. This kind of routine is no longer important for you, except for warming up your body." 

"You have built up your body well, let your ki continue to nourish your body," Old Man Niadin commented on Sun Zhou Yi's mumbling.

Sun Zhou Yi nodded and looked at the old man as he stretched his body.

"I am ready for today's training," he announced with some anticipation in his tone.

"We can wait for that, this guy seems to have something to say to you," Niadin pointed at Sun Zhou Yi's back.

Sun Zhou Yi followed the direction and turned around. Ryan White was standing right behind him, two meters away. His eyes were red from crying, but the tears had dried up.

"What is it?"

"Do you have some time? I want to talk to you," Ryan White opened his mouth and a harsh voice came out.

Sun Zhou Yi did not answer immediately. He turned to the old man and asked for his permission.

Old Man Niadin casually waved his hand at Sun Zhou Yi, "You may go."

"Sure, what do you want to talk about?" Sun Zhou Yi turned to 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 before Heero, "I will tell you everything I know about them, but in return, I want you to tell me your secret of becoming strong!"

"Huh?!" Heero was confused.

Just yesterday, Ryan White had blamed him for the death of his family. But now he was willing to talk. It was too sudden for Heero.

He turned to old man Niadin, his eyes asking what he had done to this guy.

Niadin shrugged lightly as he was at a loss as well. After this morning, he had not spoken to Ryan White at all.

"Why all of a sudden? Weren't you going to kill me to avenge your family?" Heero looked at Ryan White.

"I apologize for falsely accusing you, but I must be stronger to avenge my family!" Ryan White replied strongly.

"Have you found the killer? Don't tell me you want me to train you to kill me, right?"

"No, Sun Zhou Yi told me everything. Based on your investigation, it was Rodin who killed my family!" Ryan White replied immediately.

In fact, he asked Sun Zhou Yi about everything that happened outside.

"You listen to my student, but you don't listen to me..." Heero shook his head and patted Ryan White on the shoulder.

"There's no need for you to be stronger, just give me the information you have and I will kill them all for you!"

In the first place, that was his purpose. To kill all the specters and powers associated with God Horas. 

He thought that the people behind all this were 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 violently.

"Then I will bring him to you, Rodin, right? I will bring him to you and you can take your revenge later.

Just give me the information, where do you get your bloodline? Give me the place!" Heero made his promise.

If Ryan White wanted to kill Rodin or the people pretending to be Rodin, he could help. But to give him his secrets? That was not an option for Heero.

"Why?" Ryan White looked up with red eyes.

"Then let me ask you, why? Why do I have to give you my secrets?" Heero answered with another question.

There was no reason for him to accept Ryan White's offer. With his current workload, he could not afford to take the time to train his wife's admirer.

When Ryan White was asked by Heero, he was slightly stunned. His eyes widened slightly as he realized something.

"Don't you want my information?"

"If you don't tell me of your own free will, I will force the information out of you. To be honest, your information may or may not be useful to me.

"I'm just desperate enough to try 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, they might have moved out of this place.

He just wanted to gather more information about his enemy. Information, he lacked information about his enemy.

"Then accept my offer! Take it or leave it!" Ryan White took a strong stance with his decision. 

He wanted to avenge his family with his hand, even if he had to beg someone who stole his crush.
