Unfortunate Hero's Retirement Life

Chapter 218: Yet Another Challenge

Heero's curiosity about the awakening ability grew stronger as time went on. Since the first day, he entered Star City, he had been curious about this.

Unfortunately, there was only a little information about the awakening ability on the forum. He had tried searching it online but the result was negligible.

Now, he entered the Hero League, the right place to inquire about such a thing. At least, he thought he could get to know about the awakening ability hence 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 unclear about awakening ability.

"I am not clear myself" Bai Xin Yue answered hesitantly while her eyes never left Heero's palm.

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

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

As for why he was curious, it was because he found out that when someone used their so-called awakening ability, these people were using the colorful energy inside their body.

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

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

He absorbed the colorful energy once, and it turned into a normal Ki when it entered his body. The same for his disciple, by using Ki Comprehension he taught them, the colorful energy would turn into normal Ki once it entered their bodies.

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

Realizing Heero was interested in 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 walked out of the room and Heero followed while Kang Seo-Yeon tagged along.

The chosen one was the people who passed the test with an extraordinary score. The Hero League would give for free the super ultra-expensive elixir to these people 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.

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

The success rate was 10%, it was depending on the elixir grade. Yes, the awakening elixir was categorized into four grades.

Inferior Grade Elixir, Ordinary Grade Elixir, 

High Grade Elixir, and Excellent Grade Elixir. Based 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 one bought the elixir.

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

Money could not buy the elixir, but the big families and organizations had it. You have to join the big force to get the high-grade awakening elixir.

One of the main reasons why the heroes and rankers affiliated to a force was to the resources. Whether it was an awakening elixir or other drugs.

Yes, aside from an awakening elixir, there was an elixir to strengthen one physical fitness. Various kinds of drugs were sold and made, proof of the wonder of the advanced technology.

Heero was interested in advanced technology. He wondered if this technology could be used to help him in concocting his medicine. Unfortunately, it was a secret of the Central Government. He could not get it unless he became a part of them.

Bai Xin Yue and Kang Seo-Yeon led Heero to a building behind the Hero League HQ. To ten-stories building, a place for the chosen to get their rewards.

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

"Xin Yue~"

The groups halted their steps and looked back. A group of four dashing men was approaching them and Heero recognized only one of them. The new Emperor Class Hero - Rank 22, Wu Shen Lei.

As for the other three, he did not recognize them. But one thing for sure, all of them were heroes and experienced one at that. It could be seen from their fierce and wild aura.

These four dashing men had experienced countless battles.

Amongst the four men, there was one guy that had his gaze fixated on Heero. His gaze was fierce and also contained anger perhaps.

Heero was puzzled, this was his first day, but it seemed, unknowingly he had offended many people. The Kim guy from the early also targeted him and now there was another man.

"Wow Wow Wow Look who's here, aren't you the new Chief Hero Instructor!?" A guy that stood 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 ranker, but his strength is rumored to be par to Emperor Class Hero, "

"This guy is also famous for his salaciousness and overbearing demeanor. Moreover, he has a bastardly hobby, snatching other's wives. Be careful, he attended the ceremony and saw your wives, he might be targeting you!"

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

Yes, the guy who called Bai Xin Yue was this guy, Wu Yanhong. He appeared to be playful and cynical as he unscrupulously scanned Bai Xin Yue, from the top to bottom.

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

"It seems he has a matter with you. Why don't you talk with him and catch up later? I will have Seo-Yeon to guide me" Having not finished his words, Wu Yanhong cut Heero's halfway.

"Indeed I have a matter with Xin Yue~ but we can talk 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 ear to ear. He spoke as if he was asking for candy.

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

"Did it mean you agree? So tonight I will have fun with the two sisters!" Wu Yanhong laughed aloud.

However, Heero was not affected in the slightest. He kept walking toward the building with Kang Seo-Yeon next to him. In fact, Bai Xin Yue also followed. There was no way she would stay with these guys.

But it did not turn as Heero wanted to. The guy who always looked at him with a fierce stare blocked the door.

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

After Park Jin-Soo, another guy stopped at the door. A man with white hair, silver earrings, and dignified look, "Name's Kim Seung. I also challenge you to a duel! I will show that not just anybody 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 with his sonorous laugh.

Amongst the four, only Wu Shen Lei remained on his spot while the other three challenged Heero.
