Chapter 582: Second and Third Disciple at the Front Door

"You just... what did you call that guy?"

With a cold voice, suddenly a murderous aura burst forth from outside the door.

"Eh?"

Quickly, the voice of the Mumen Rider, full of surprise, rang out again at the door: "It's actually a monster, and right at Teacher Fang Mo's doorstep... How audacious is that?"

"You... this guy..."

"Take this, eat my justice strike!"

Just as the Mumen Rider shouted, a particularly loud crash ensued outside, with several faint screams intermingled: "Agh!"

"Damn it, my disciple!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Mo inside the house also panicked, as the screams outside were clearly from the Mumen Rider. As someone as protective as Fang Mo could not just sit by and do nothing, he quickly rushed out from the entryway: "Who's this monster daring to bully my disciple..."

But he hadn't finished speaking.

Fang Mo then saw a very familiar blue hedgehog.

And lying not far away, the Mumen Rider covered in bicycle parts.

"Uh..."

Seeing this scene, Fang Mo instinctively touched his head.

Quickly, an awkward yet polite smile appeared on his face: "Ah, so it's my disciple..."

"Fang, Teacher Fang Mo!"

As the Mumen Rider looked up and saw Fang Mo stepping out, he hurriedly spoke: "Please be careful, this monster..."

However, he had only gotten halfway through his sentence.

The blue hedgehog suddenly kicked the Mumen Rider.

Now, Sonic could be considered a monster, so the kick was quite powerful, sending the Mumen Rider flying and then crashing into a nearby wall.

But comparatively, the Mumen Rider's physical condition had also greatly improved, having eaten a golden apple, much like Captain America who had received the super soldier serum, allowing him to evenly match anyone. Although Sonic's kick sent him flying, he surprisingly wasn't hurt much.

Even very quickly, he managed to get up from the ground by himself.

However, Sonic didn't even glance at the Mumen Rider, instead focusing on Fang Mo: "Hey, you. This guy."

Sonic, looking displeased, pointed at the Mumen Rider not far away, his expression somewhat arrogant and a bit angry: "Aren't you going to explain? What's the deal with this guy claiming to be your disciple?"

"Ah?"

Fang Mo spread his hands and said: "He... indeed is my disciple."

"What?!"

Sonic, upon hearing this, suddenly couldn't help but burst out, somewhat excitedly yelling: "I killed you, you bastard, didn't you desperately want me to be your disciple before!?"

"No, what's with this resentful attitude like that of a jilted woman?"

Hearing this, Fang Mo also felt a bit strange: "It was clearly you who adamantly refused, so I had to painfully expel you from the sect and then chose a new disciple to nurture..."

"I hadn't even agreed to be your disciple, and I was already expelled from the sect?!"

Sonic yelled: "And you, instead of persuading someone as powerful as me, chose such a seemingly weak guy..."

"You dare call my disciple weak?"

Fang Mo raised an eyebrow.

"So what, am I wrong?" The young Sonic, not yet realizing the gravity of the situation, confidently sneered: "No matter how you think about it, as a ninja, I'm obviously stronger, right?"

"Fuck, unbearable."

Fang Mo, hearing this, directly walked up to the Mumen Rider and pulled out an enchanted golden apple from behind him to hand over: "Here, disciple, quickly eat this."

Honestly, the Mumen Rider was also a bit confused now.

Seeing Fang Mo hand over an apple in such a serious atmosphere, the Mumen Rider subconsciously took it and bit into it twice. However, he quickly realized what he was doing and hurriedly asked, "Teacher Fang Mo, what is this...?"

"Don't ask, just keep eating."

"Alright."

The Mumen Rider then stopped talking and silently bowed his head to continue nibbling on the apple.

However, after swallowing the last bite of the apple, an unprecedented strength surged from within him.

This power was so real and powerful that the Mumen Rider was momentarily dazed and incredulous, staring blankly at his own hands.

"How does it feel?"

Seeing that the Mumen Rider had finished the enchanted golden apple, Fang Mo also asked.

"I feel... really good."

Actually, the Mumen Rider couldn't help but clench his fists, feeling this nearly explosive power: "Teacher Fang Mo, I feel like I could even punch the Deep Sea King to death right now..."

"Oh, that's good."

Fang Mo didn't waste words, simply patted him on the shoulder and said, "Do you see that blue hedgehog over there? He is the legendary leader of the Kill Matt gang, go and give that traitorous disciple a harsh lesson."

"Yes!"

Actually, if Sonic had been an ordinary person, the Mumen Rider might have hesitated.

But seeing that Sonic was indeed a large blue hedgehog, he didn't think much and charged with his fists clenched: "Then here I go! Justice Kick!"

The Mumen Rider exerted force with both legs, leaving deep footprints in the asphalt road, and with this tremendous driving force, he became a blur in mid-air, kicking towards Sonic's chest in an exaggerated pose.

"So fast..."

Sonic was a bit surprised to see this.

Indeed, the opponent's speed was much faster now, almost like a completely different person compared to before.

However, despite the surprise, Sonic didn't feel nervous but instead confidently showed a smile: "Heh... pity, but when it comes to speed, I still have the upper hand!"

After saying that, he swiftly dodged the Mumen Rider's flying kick with a sidestep.

And the moment the Mumen Rider's foot hit Sonic's afterimage, Sonic launched a counterattack, this time not holding back, aiming to maintain his dignity and honor, he chose to strike with full force.

He spun rapidly twice in mid-air, then slashed down with his foot: "Wind Blade Kick!"

The famed procrastinator once said, speed is power, and Sonic's kick was incredibly fast, truly resembling a wind blade slashing diagonally across the Mumen Rider's left shoulder.

Seeing this.

Sonic also showed a somewhat cruel smile.

He could already foresee the hero-playing fellow being split in two right before his eyes.

"Ah!"

And indeed, the Mumen Rider did let out a scream as the wind pressure from Sonic's kick directly cut through his armor, shoulder pads, breastplate, and even most of his upper garments.

But the next second.

A slightly odd expression appeared on the Mumen Rider's face: "Huh... it doesn't seem to hurt that much?"

"Huh?"

Seeing this, Sonic was dumbfounded.

But before he could change his tactics, the Mumen Rider, having recovered, grabbed his ankle in mid-air and swung him around twice forcefully, then slammed him to the ground with great force.

There was a loud bang, and a humanoid crater appeared on the ground.

But Sonic, clearly unwilling to accept this, despite feeling dizzy, bit his lip and staggered up from the crater, ready to continue the attack.

But the next second, the Mumen Rider suddenly rushed over, grabbing him tightly around the waist from the front. Sonic tried to struggle, but these arms were seemingly harder than steel, and he was amazed to find he couldn't escape.

"This is bad..."

Seeing this, Sonic also felt a chill in his heart.

Though he had become faster after transforming into a monster, he couldn't perform some ninja techniques anymore, such as using his clothes as a decoy to perform the golden cicada shedding its shell trick.

Thus, he could only watch helplessly as the Mumen Rider leapt high with him in his arms, then smashed him heavily onto the ground.

"Justice Grapple!"

With the shout of the Mumen Rider, Sonic's head was smashed deep into the ground, leaving only his feet sticking out, twitching occasionally.

And after defeating Sonic,

The Mumen Rider breathed nervously and excitedly.

"Teacher Fang Mo! I did it!"

The Mumen Rider looked excitedly at his hands, feeling the power coursing through them. This genuine and fulfilling sensation even made his nose tingle slightly.

Even the most ordinary heart,

Has once longed to become a hero admired by all...

"Mmm."

Nearby, Fang Mo was obviously very pleased, clapping his hands with satisfaction: "Well done, Mumen Rider."

Indeed, this ordinary golden apple was almost on par with Captain America's serum. Now, with the enchanted golden apple's enhancement... even a talentless ordinary person like the Mumen Rider could suddenly become one of the most powerful warriors among the Aesir, akin to Thor, just lacking Mjolnir.

Of course, Loki doesn't count.

His lineage comes from the Frost Giants of Jotunheim...

But honestly, if Sonic had just relied on his speed from the start, the Mumen Rider really wouldn't have been able to do much. But the problem was, this guy was a bit too overconfident.

As a result, the Mumen Rider grabbed his ankle, and a series of quick moves took Sonic down.

It can be said that Sonic didn't really show his full strength.

"Teacher Fang Mo!"

While Fang Mo was thinking about this, the Mumen Rider got visibly excited, suddenly knelt before Fang Mo with a profound bow: "I... I want to become your disciple! Please accept my bow!"

"Mmm, very well."

Fang Mo nodded with a smile, then helped the Mumen Rider up from the ground.

Honestly, Fang Mo could understand the excitement of the Mumen Rider; after all, a talentless mortal, who could only endure through sheer grit to engage in heroic deeds, suddenly gained unprecedented power. Who wouldn't be thrilled?

Do you think the Mumen Rider really resigned himself to being weak?

He merely accepted his mediocrity.

But knowing he was just a weak, ordinary person... yet still mustering the courage to engage in heroic activities, persistently holding on to his dreams, that's what a true hero is.

"Alright, from now on you are my second disciple."

Fang Mo cheerfully slapped the dust off the Mumen Rider, speaking warmly, "Look at your battered equipment, take a rest for now, and I'll get you a set of Kamen Rider... ahem, gear."

"Thank you, Teacher Fang Mo."

The Mumen Rider, very grateful, thanked him earnestly.

"Hey, we're all buddies here."

Fang Mo waved his hand nonchalantly, then planned to invite him into the villa: "Alright, don't just stand at the door, come on in and..."

"Wait... wait for me..."

However, just as Fang Mo was about to lead the Mumen Rider inside, a struggling voice came from not far away.

Fang Mo turned to look.

It was Sonic who made the noise.

Yes, this guy hadn't passed out yet. After struggling a bit, he pulled his body out of the ground, biting his teeth and somewhat helplessly said, "So... you're really not going to care about me, are you?"

"What, have you figured it out too?"

Fang Mo glanced at Sonic, and laughed, "Well, you can be my disciple too, but your strength is obviously a bit lacking, so you can only be the third disciple."

"What?"

Sonic was momentarily displeased.

However, he looked at his body and fell into hesitation.

Honestly, he had enough of being this blue hedgehog, especially in a world where a monstrous identity is a real trouble, attracting hostility everywhere. Just because he looked at Tatsumaki a bit too long once, he almost got crushed to death by her psychic powers.

And if he wanted to turn back into a human,

Undoubtedly, he would have to bow to this damn Sorcerer.

"..."

Thinking about this, Sonic bit his lip; it wasn't entirely unacceptable for him to become a disciple, considering the sorcerer's overwhelming strength.

Sonic thought he was arrogant, but not stupid.

Realizing Fang Mo's strength, he felt there was nothing shameful about bowing to him.

But the problem was... this despicable guy even made him the last disciple, which he could hardly bear. Why should this Mumen Rider, who was merely playing hero games, be his senior brother?

But if he didn't become Fang Mo's disciple,

He might have to live his whole life in the body of a hedgehog monster.

After thinking it over, Sonic decided, "I... I've made my decision."

After figuring everything out, Sonic took a deep breath: "I'm willing to be your disciple!"
