Chen Kai frowned and turned around and finally had a look at the man's appearance, he was young, about his age, and he was as tall as him. He wears an open black robe with a hood that covers his head leaving only half of his face exposed, he has pale skin, and his eyes are of different colors, one is yellow and the other one is onyx
Chen Kai frowned but the moment he saw the young man's clothes, especially the vest he was wearing he made a face of doubt, then the young man removed the hood from his head and Chen Kai saw his mismatched hair color just like him and Callion, the young man in front of him has strands black and pale blond hair, and he just as Callion had short messy spiky hair
' He is a member of the Saiyan Sect?! ' Thought Chen Kai with amazement, then he frowned and thought ' Why is he here? We shouldn't be able to cross each other, then the other one that they were talking about wasn't Callion it was him? ' Shallot at the end of his training explained the circumstances about their starting point every one of the chosen ones, they have located hundreds of miles, even more from each other, if their 'Masters' weren't the same, the distance between them should be great, so why this guy was in front of him, and how did he travel so far?
Chen Kai sees the young man in front of him with a frowning yet cautious expression and asks " Who are you, and why are you here? " He, after all, didn't know the guy standing in front of him, what if the guy in front of him is like Callion? Very hostile, and he covers it with a smile
The young man seemed to be scanning Chen Kai making him very uncomfortable, so before he did something, Chen Kai decided to test the young man's strength, to see why he was feeling so nervous despite he could sense his strength so with a quick movement Chen Kai attacked the young man with his Spirit Cannon " HA! " But *BANG* The young man slaps Chen Kai's Spirit Cannon making it change its direction. The Spirit Cannon makes a curve and flies until it crashes into the forest *BOOM* it explodes blowing up the area and the trees near it
Chen Kai watched the whole situation with disbelief then the young man said " Whoa... why was that? I'm not here to fight you "
Chen Kai sees the young man with surprise, then the young man says with a smirking face" This is the first time I see another member besides Cado, Shallot, and Fannel "
Chen Kai makes a confused expression and whispers " Cado? " Chen Kai hadn't heard anything from the other sect members, neither from Shallot, Fannel, nor even the White Tiger, they just answered the same thing when he asked about the other members ' Just focus on your training and stop asking useless questions ' still Chen Kai knew that this Cado was the young man's 'Master' someone at the same level as Shallot
The young man smiles a little and says " My name is Zhen Jin, but you can call me Tercres if you want, and the reason why I am here, It's simple, to get stronger "
Chen Kai makes a doubtful expression ' It's really necessary to travel so long to that? Isn't he able to increase his strength in his starting location? '
Tercres sees Chen Kai's confused expression and says with a smile " You see, I have reached the top of my strength, I can't advance anymore, no matter how hard I train or what I do, I'm stuck at this level, the Kaio-ken helps, but It's not enough to achieve what I want "
Chen Kai was more confused than before ' Why is he telling me this? ' Despite that, he wasn't able to feel Tercres' power, Chen Kai knew that he was far stronger than him, the moment he slapped Chen Kai's attack Tercres showed him the difference between them, and that difference wasn't small at all
Tercres grins seeing Chen Kai's face says " Don't misunderstand this, I'm not asking for your help, I just want to hang around maybe I can learn something useful that will help but right now, still I didn't think you would be this weak "
Chen Kai frowns, but he doesn't refute Tercres, instead, he clenches his fists in frustration, Tercres smiles again and says " Don't feel bad, you can still increase your strength, you just need a reason to do so "
" A reason? " Chen Kai whispered then Tercres continued " Yeah, I have a reason to increase my power, I have to protect someone, the last person in my life I can't afford to lose "
Chen Kai makes a serious expression thinking of one girl, Tercres sees his expression and says with a slight smile " Maybe, you already have one, then why are you slacking off? You should be at least three times stronger than this... Anyway, allow me to accompany you for a few days, maybe you have something that I haven't seen, after all, you are a chosen one, right? "
" Do what you want " Chen Kai nods with a frowning expression, there is no way that he can deny Tercres's request, he will do it anyway, besides, he can be helpful, right?
Chen Kai begins to walk down the hill on a dirt path surrounded by trees while Tercress walks a few steps behind him wearing the hood again
Chen Kai felt a little bit nervous, the feeling of someone who didn't have energy walking behind him made him feel very tense, so to smooth the situation, Chen Kai asked " You sounded like I was the first one of the chosen ones you have seen, doesn't the guy who trained you bring another one? "
Tercres shakes his head without Chen Kai noticing it and says " You can say that but, he didn't accept the offer in the Second Phase, he didn't want to change his body, I don't know what he was thinking "
Chen Kai frowned hearing that then he asked " Then what happened to him? Did they kill him? "
Tercres shakes his head again and says " I don't know, the last time I saw him was when Cado took him away, but I'm sure that he is still alive "
Chen Kai stops and turns around to face Tercres and with a frowning expression he says " For real? Maybe Cado disposed of him "
Tercres snorts and says " I doubt it "
Chen Kai sees Tercres's face it seems that he is 100% sure that Cado will never kill the other chosen one then he asks " How is Cado? I mean, could you describe him? " Chen Kai was curious about the other 'Teacher' from the Saiyan Sect, he wanted to know if all the older members of the sect, besides Shallot or Fannel
Tercres makes a serious expression and says " He is very cold and above all quiet since I met him he has only spoken four times, he even responds with grunts, training with him was quite complicated "
Chen Kai was a little surprised and said " I can Imagine that " Then he turned around to walk again
Then, both of them stopped and made serious faces, but Chen Kai gritted his teeth thinking ' Goddammit! I thought I had taken a long distance from them! just how far that artifact can detect me?! ' Chen Kai and Tercres felt multiple presences a few meters in front of them they seemed to be waiting for them to get closer
Chen Kai knew the ones that were coming they were from the Divine Sect, it was Lin Wu, but now it seemed that he came with the strongest backup this time
Chen Kai was about to run into the forest nearby and use his Solar Flare once they began to chase him, but just when he was about to do that a hand on his shoulder stopped him from running into the forest. Chen Kai turns around to see Tercres the one who stopped him and makes a shocked expression seeing him
Chen Kai was in shock seeing Tercres who was looking at him with a face of doubt, then he said " Are you serious? Why do you want to escape? They aren't that strong "
Chen Kai keeps his shocked expression, and then he says with a serious face " Are you stupid? They can kill me, my best option is to escape from here until I get strong enough to face them "
Tercres keeps his disappointed face and says " Really? What about your Kaio-ken? If you multiply it by 4 you could take them on, even if they take you down you have the Senzu Beans to get a strong Zenkai, there is no need to run "
Chen Kai makes a confused expression and Tercres makes a surprised one to say " No way, you haven't learned the Kaio-ken? But it's one of the first techniques you will find, tell me, at least you know what the Zenkai is "
Chen Kai bows his head in shame then Tercres sighs and facepalms himself he says " Seriously, what you have been doing? You know that without power, you will struggle to achieve what you want, right? Anyway... you should get ready "
