Sun Zhou Yi and Butcher Wang were astounded when they heard Heero's instruction. The two men looked at the five men in the same Ranker Alliance uniform and looked back at Heero.
They wondered what happened, Heero had never given them such an order before. There must be a reason behind all of this.
However, Butcher Wang was a bit different compared to Sun Zhou Yi. When he saw a symbol of Ranker Alliance on the ranker uniform, his gaze immediately turned hostile.
He almost lost his only daughter to a ranker. Each time he saw the fear on his usually cheerful daughter, it would pain him. He now faced a ranker; he did not care if these people were Silver Class or Gold Class. He just wanted to beat every ranker he met after what happened to his daughter.
Meanwhile, Feng Bian was also surprised. He could not believe what he heard. Let's not talk about who's right and who's wrong, but an ordinary hunter and an unranked Wood Class Hero against five Gold Class Rankers. There's no way Sun Zhou Yi and Butcher Wang could defeat five Gold Class Rankers.
Ganesh and the other four Gold Class Rankers were shocked as well. The five men immediately turned around. They found two men bathed in sweat, each of them brought a black boar, Wood Level Beast.
Ganesh did not recognize Sun Zhou Yi and Butcher Wang. However, there was one person who recognized Sun Zhou Yi and he laughed aloud.
"Hahahahahaha…."
A man was about 23 years old, unranked Gold Class Ranker, Wei Yan. He laughed aloud which confused the other four Gold Class Rankers.
"Wei Yan, what's wrong?" Ganesh asked with his disgruntled look.
Ganesh's voice stopped Wei Yan's laugh. He noticed the captain had a displeased expression and he immediately explained, "Captain, he's the famous unranked Wood Class Hero on Star Web!"
"He is Sun Zhou Yi, the Wood Class Hero I told you guys back then…"
Hearing Wei Yan's explanation, the other Gold Class rankers had a smug look.
"No wonder that like l have seen this man, he is the famous Handsome Brutal Savage on the Star Web!" Wei Yan looked at Heero with a smug look.
Sun Zhou Yi ignored the five rankers, but he approached Heero. Butcher Wang also followed from behind.
"Master, what's wrong? Why do you want us to fight them? If it's a test, we can look for a beast to test our strength." Even though he also looked down upon rankers, but as a Hero, he could not fight against them without a clear reason. It could escalate to war between Hero and Ranker.
"The guy who almost killed Lan Lan is dead, so they come here to arrest me for murder!" Heero answered nonchalantly, as he did not care about the guy he killed.
Heero did not have a guilty feeling or the like for killing someone. He regarded Chunyong as a servant of the specters that he often killed on Dramonia. No, in Heero's eyes Chunyong was even worse than the servant of the specter. That was why he did not feel guilty for killing someone like Chunyong.
Last night's incident made Heero aware that with the power he currently had he would not be able to protect everyone he wanted to protect. When he was not them, Lan Lan's incident could happen to Hong Yu.
The power he had could not do that. He could only protect them if he was with them. So he had been thinking so hard about what he must do to protect them while he was not with them.
Heero had an idea about that. A status, just like many people were afraid of Iron Fist Martial House because it had Ming Group as its back.
To protect the people who were close to him even when he was away, he must create an organization just like Ming Group or even bigger than Ming Group.
Heero believed he had the power to do so, he only needed to make a name for himself. Beating these five rankers was the first step. He would tell Ranker Alliance, he was not afraid of them.
It could lead to a big conflict, but why not? This was what he had been looking for, a chance to make a name for this district.
With this conflict, he would bait a big fish from Ranker Alliance. After that, everything was easy. He only needed to beat every big fish that came to this district.
Law? Central Government? Hero League? He did not care, no law could be applied to ranker. It was proved by Chunyong's action last night. Even only with his status as a bronze class ranker, he could do anything he wanted to.
Heero concluded he only needed to be an individual that was immune to the so-called Law and Central Government. He needed to be a legend class ranker or even stronger than a legend class ranker, so others would be wary of him.
That was why Heero told Sun Zhou Yi and Butcher Wang to beat these five rankers. Words were not enough to solve the problem? Then a fist would solve the problem. He would tell the people at Star City the consequence of hurting his people with his actions.
"Hmm, so they want to catch you from protecting Lan Lan, then I will fight them. Moreover, Ranker Alliance does not have a right to detain someone that not under the Ranker Alliance's influence!"
Sun Zhou Yi turned around and stood before Heero, facing the five Gold Class Rankers. In the past, he would avoid the lowest class ranker, let alone Gold Class Ranker. However, the current Sun Zhou Yi was not the old Sun Zhou Yi.
Since the incident of Iron Fist Martial House, he vowed that he would face anyone who dared to hurt the people who were important to him, his Master included. Regardless, rankers or even heroes.
"Sun Zhou Yi, what are you doing? You know that you could not meddle with this matter, right? If you attack the ranker without a proper reason, you can lose your status as a hero! Moreover…"
Feng Bian stopped, he just could not bear to say the bitter reality.
'Moreover, you're just a Wood Class Hero,' that was what he wanted to say, but he did not say it.
"Without a proper reason? Mr. Feng, you are a Gold Class Hero and you are from the upper society! You know Ranker Alliance better than me, you should know what will they do to my Master if they catch my him, right?"
Without even looking back, Sun Zhou Yi answered.
"Moreover, I will never lose my status as a hero even though I am not part of the Hero League. I am still a hero who will protect everyone, with or without Hero League!" Sun Zhou Yi added with a firm resolution.
"Hahahaha… You are right, Little Sun! You are still a hero in everyone's heart!" Butcher Wang laughed aloud as he stood alongside Sun Zhou Yi.
Feng Bian was stunned when he heard Sun Zhou Yi's answer. He could not deny that. 'Hero' in Sun Zhou Yi's mouth was not a mere profession, but truly Hero just as in the story and tales.
Feng Bian did not expect in this era, there was still someone dreaming to be a true hero. He appreciated it, but merely words and resolution were not enough, one had to have the power to realize this dream. If it was merely talking then, it was just a naive young man's dream.
Ganesh frowned, he had a plan, but this was not his plan. He did not want to have a pointless fight against trash.
The plan was to talk with Blacksmith Huang and had him compensate Ranker Alliance with Legendary Class and Gold Class sword. He could give the Legendary Class sword to Ranker Alliance while taking the Gold Class sword for free.
Today's talk was supposed to be a friendly talk. He wanted to corner Heero with the evidence in his hand and let Heero lead him to Blacksmith Huang. Afterward, he would start the friendly talk, Ranker Alliance would not pursue this matter as long as Blacksmith Huang compensated Ranker Alliance with a Legendary Class Sword and a Gold Class Sword.
Bronze Class Ranker's life was nothing compared to Legendary Class Sword. With this talk, he also hoped to make friends with this talented blacksmith.
It was the plan, but he did not expect there was someone who was not afraid of Ranker Alliance.
'Nah, I will just take these fools down first. I can talk with Blacksmith Huang later!'
"Feng Bian, you see it yourself, it's not our fault if we use force, right? They started it!"
Feng Bian responded in silence. This was the truth, Hero League and Ranker Alliance would not interfere with each other as long as Ranker Alliance did not cross the bottom line of Hero League.
Heero picked four pebbles from the ground. Afterward, Feng Bian was shocked by what Heero did with the pebbles. He saw Heero throw the pebbles at the city camera in this district. He wanted to stop it but failed to do so, four-city cameras were broken.
"What are you doing?" Feng Bian raised his voice, but Heero ignored him.
He looked forward and said, "Go! You can take them down now! Oh, Bearded Wang, leave that captain to Sun Zhou Yi. By the way, it doesn't matter if you cripple them."
Afterward, Heero walked to the Miao Miao Noodles Shop. There was a bench to line up if the shop was full. Heero sat there as he intended to watch the fight from there. The people inside the shop also watched from the window, it caused quite a commotion after all.
...
Butcher Wang took a few steps back. He took the training circlets off. He was quite nervous. Even though he knew he had grown stronger, but he did not know how strong he was.
He took the training circlets off to feel more secure. Meanwhile, Sun Zhou Yi did not take the training circlets off. His master did not tell him to take them off, so he did not.
Sun Zhou Yi took a deep breath and set his stances. He had his two fists forward and looked at the five rankers vigilantly. He also utilized a new technique he just learned a few days ago, Mystical Eyes.
A faint blue Ki covered Sun Zhou Yi's eyes without the surrounding people realizing it, except for one person, Heero.
'Sh*t, he is a genius, it took me two months to master Mystical Eyes, but he had already used it in a fight only after a few days,' Heero was rendered speechless by it but what he did not know was that saint Ki comprehension that he practiced was 100 times harder then what Sun Zhou Yi was cultivating.
Wei Yan looked at Sun Zhou Yi in amusement as he stepped forward from the group.
"Captain, let me take care of these two men. I will show them the difference between a Wood Class Hero and Gold Class Ranker!" Wei Yan arrogantly declared.
Sun Zhou Yi was not affected by the taunt. He set his eyes at Wei Yan while secretly gathering the Ki in his hand.
Swoosh!
Wei Yan rushed toward Sun Zhou Yi. He was extremely fast, however, it was only fast in an ordinary person's eyes, not Sun Zhou Yi's eyes.
Sun Zhou Yi frowned, it was not because Wei Yan was fast, but Wei Yan was just the same as an ordinary person in his eyes. Sun Zhou Yi tilted his head to the right and the punch missed.
Wei Yan was surprised when Sun Zhou Yi dodged his punch. However, he was at Gold Class Ranker not without reason. With a fast reaction, he spun his body and raised his right foot, aiming at Sun Zhou Yi's head.
"He is done for…" Feng Bian muttered in a low voice. He believed Sun Zhou Yi would not be able to avoid this kick.
However, a few centimeters before the kick hit Sun Zhou Yi's head, it stopped. Sun Zhou Yi raised his left hand and caught Wei Yan's right foot.
After that, Sun Zhou swiftly kicked Wei Yan's other foot. Wei Yan's body was in the air, defenseless. He did not stop, he stepped forward and had his elbow descend to Wei Yan's chest.
Bam! Crack!
Kuakh!
Wei Yan spurted out blood from his mouth and passed out. Sun Zhou Yi did not hold his power at all. Reinforcing his right arm with Ki, he knocked Wei Yan down in a few seconds.
Gold Class Ranker was defeated by Wood Class Hero.
