Yet Another Challenge

Heero's curiosity about the awakening ability grew as time went on. He had been curious about it since the first day he arrived in Star City.

Unfortunately, there was very little information about the awakening ability on the forum. He had tried to search for it online, but the results were negligible.

Now he entered the Hero League, the right place to ask for something like that. At the very least, he thought he could learn about the awakening ability, so he asked the two girls from the two prominent families.

However, Bai Xin Yue and Kang Seo-Yeon's answer surprised him. They were also unsure about the awakening ability.

"I'm not clear myself..." Bai Xin Yue replied hesitantly, her eyes never leaving Heero's palm.

Kang Seo-Yeon nodded her head and added, "Awakening Ability is a special ability we gained after the awakening process. As for how we awaken the ability, there's still no precise answer to that!"

Heero's face showed a pensive expression. The answer did not satisfy his curiosity about the awakening ability.

As for why he was curious, it was because he had found out that when someone used their so-called awakening ability, they used the colourful energy inside their body.

It was the same process when he used his Ki to perform his technique. The difference was the inner energy they used.

He wanted to know about the awakening ability because he wanted to research this colourful energy.

He absorbed the colourful energy once and it turned into normal Ki when it entered his body. The same would be true for his students, using the Ki Comprehension he taught them, the coloured energy would turn into normal Ki when it entered their bodies.

"But we have a way to stimulate the awakening to gain the awakening ability! An elixir, people call it Awakening Elixir!"

Realising that Heero was interested in the awakening ability, Bai Xin Yue explained more about the awakening process. The guy looked like he wanted to know more about the awakening process.

"Follow me! I will lead you to a room where the chosen one will receive the Awakening Elixir!"

Bai Xin Yue left the room and Heero followed, while Kang Seo-Yeon came along.

The Chosen One were the people who passed the test with an extraordinary score. The Hero League would give them the super-ultra-expensive elixir for free as a reward for passing the test.

On the way to their destination, Kang Seo-Yeon and Bai Xin Yue explained more about the Awakening Elixir.

Even though the Awakening Elixir could stimulate an awakening, the chance of getting an awakening ability was very low.

The success rate was 10%, depending on the grade of the elixir. The Awakening Elixir was divided into four grades.

Low Grade Elixir, Ordinary Grade Elixir, 

High Grade Elixir and Excellent Grade Elixir. Depending on the grade, the elixir was sold at different prices.

The lowest grade would cost around one million to five million. The price varied depending on where you bought the elixir.

For the ordinary one, it would cost around fifty to one hundred million. As for the High Grade Elixir and the Excellent Grade Elixir, these two elixirs were not available on the market.

Money could not buy them, but the big families and organisations had them. You have to join the big power to get the Awakening Elixir of High Grade.

One of the main reasons for heroes and rankers to join a force was the resources. Whether it was Awakening Tonic or other drugs.

In addition to the Awakening Elixir, there was also an elixir to increase physical fitness. Various kinds of drugs were sold and produced, proof of the wonders of advanced technology.

Heero was interested in the advanced technology. He wondered if this technology could be used to help him make his medicine. Unfortunately it was a secret of the central government. He could only get it if he became a part of it.

*** ***

Bai Xin Yue and Kang Seo-Yeon led Heero to a building behind the Hero League headquarters. A ten-storey building, a place for the chosen to receive their rewards.

As the group was about to enter the building, a voice called Bai Xin Yue's name, intimately.

"Xin Yue~"

The group stopped and looked back. A group of four dashing men approached them and Heero recognised only one of them. The new Emperor Class Hero - rank 22, Wu Shen Lei.

He did not recognise the other three. But one thing was for sure, they were all heroes and experienced ones at that. It could be seen in their fierce and ferocious aura.

These four dashing men had seen countless battles.

Among the four men, there was one who had his gaze fixed on Heero. His gaze was fierce and perhaps even angry.

Heero was confused, this was his first day, but it seemed he had offended a lot of people without knowing it. The Kim guy from earlier was also targeting him and now there was another man.

"Wow... Wow... Wow... Look who's here, aren't you the new Chief Hero Instructor?" A guy standing next to Wu Shen Lei opened his mouth.

"He's Wu Yanhong, Supreme Star, Wu Shitian's main disciple. He is not a hero or a ranker, but his strength is rumoured to be equal to that of an Emperor Class Hero."

"This guy is also famous for his lechery and overbearing behaviour. He also has a bastard hobby of stealing other people's wives. Be careful, he attended the ceremony and saw your wives, he might be after you!"

Bai Xin Yue whispered to Heero, her voice was unusually soft.

Wu Yanhong seemed playful and cynical as he ruthlessly scanned Bai Xin Yue from top to bottom.

Heero remained silent as it seemed that the guy had a problem with Bai Xin Yue. Wu Yanhong was the guy he usually hated, it was better to avoid this guy.

"It seems like he has a problem with you. Why don't you talk to him and come back later? I will let Seo-Yeon guide me..." Without finishing his words, Wu Yanhong interrupted Heero in the middle.

"Actually, I have a matter with Xin Yue~ but we can talk about it later, on the bed, slowly~ for now, I have a matter with you! It's about your wives, why don't you share your wives with me?"

Wu Yanhong grinned from ear to ear. He spoke as if he were asking for sweets.

Heero took a deep breath and shook his head. He turned around, intending to enter the building. He decided to be the big man and ignored Wu Yanhong's childish taunt.

"Does that mean you agree? So I will have fun with the two sisters tonight!" Wu Yanhong laughed out loud.

Heero, however, was not affected in the least. He continued walking towards the building with Kang Seo-Yeon next to him. In fact, Bai Xin Yue also followed. There was no way she would stay with those guys.

But it did not turn the way Heero wanted. The guy who was always staring at him with a fierce stare was blocking the door.

He had a spear in his hand and pointed it at Heero, "My name is Park Jin-Soo. I challenge you to a duel, the loser stays away from Seo-Yeon, forever!"

After Park Jin-Soo, another man stopped at the door. A man with white hair, silver earrings and a dignified look, "My name is Kim Seung. I also challenge you to a duel! I will show that not just anyone can humiliate the Kim family!"

"Muhahaha... I also challenge you to a duel. If you lose, the sisters will be mine, okay?" Wu Yanhong joined in with a sonorous laugh.

Of the four, only Wu Shen Lei stayed where he was, while the other three challenged Heero.
