Feng Shu didn't know what Sun Bo was so mad about. He thought not much about the Heavenly Guardian sect, only to go there to learn about cultivation. But there seems to be some secret surrounding it. Beng Hun didn't follow the conversation, but just wanted to fight this strong opponent. So he challenge Sun Bo.
"Let us fight! We'll tell you if you win!"
"Good words Beng Hun!"
They went into their positions, with Feng in the front and Beng at the back. Feng Shu summoned his Heavenly Demon Spirit and proceeded to attack Sun Bo.
[This kid is fierce.. but not enough!]
Sun Bo dodged easily and counterattacked.
Feng Shu was launched back far. He coughed up a little bit of blood but was still able to fight.
Beng Hun started his attack and used his Heaven Void Steps.
[That fatty has something going on with his foot.]
Sun Bo picked up on this and closed the distance so fast that Beng Hun couldn't react. But when he punched him in the stomach, Beng Hun didn't move an inch.
[How..?]
Sun Bo looked again and saw a pair of feet behind Beng Hun. But before he can react, Beng Hun kicked him with his enhanced foot.
A bunch of dust blocked the outcome of the Heaven Void Steps, and they couldn't see if they won against Sun Bo.
[It felt like I kicked him!]
But when the dust cleared they saw two fist come out.
"Piercing Crane Fist!"
Both of the brothers were launched back and incapacitated. They couldn't move after the strong attack from Sun Bo. He walked up to them with both of his hand on his back.
"So tell me. What is your relationship with that accursed sect? I'm being nice here.... you guys would have died earlier if I did not hold back my attacks."
Feng Shu coughed up blood as he tried to talk.
"We were trying to go to the Heavenly Guardian Sect to learn about cultivation... we just wanted to reach the Foundational Establishment realm..."
Sun Bo raised his voice.
"How do you know about that sect!"
"I.. I found a journal by Be Bu!" Stammered Beng Hun.
Sun Bo expression changed. It was now mixed with worry.
"Be Bu..? What happen to him...?"
"He was a corpse when we found him!"
"So that was his fate..."
Sun Bo stood there silently. The two brothers were watching what would happen next. They thought that death was most likely the outcome. After all, they attacked him and lost. But the thing he did next surprised them.
Sun Bo fell onto his knees. He was slumped over with his head looking at the ground. His arms were dropped down straight to the floor like he had nothing to live for. They could see drops of tears through his hair.
"Be Bu... if only I didn't listen to that bitch Ying...."
Feng Shu was immediately alerted by that name. He had the head of Ying Ning'er in his inventory.
"Ying Ning'er?"
Sun Bo looked over at Feng Shu when he said that name. Sun Bo's blank expression was now back to one full of rage.
"You..!"
He leaped at Feng Shu but stopped when he pulled out a head. He immediately recognized that it was Ying Ning'er.
"How did you kill her...?"
Feng Shu rushed to respond.
"In Be Bu's journal, he told us to kill Ying Ning'er. We found her in a room that suppressed her cultivation. She was in the Heavenly Profound realm. She had tried to make us free her, but I saw through her scheming nature and slashed her head off."
Sun Bo paused for a moment. He looked at Feng Shu for a few seconds before turning his back on to them. They didn't know what he was going to do next.
He took a deep breathe and started meditating. Lightning started to appear around Sun Bo. One of the bolts hit him.
"Eugh!"
Another one.
"Tch!"
Another one.
"Mm!"
This kept going on before the 10th one hit, which was huge one that caused him to collapse. The lightning storm disappeared.
Despite almost killing the two brothers, they rushed over to help him as they now were recovered.
"Are you okay old man!"
"Hey!"
They shook his body but they didn't feel any movement. They looked at each other and shook their heads. They felt bad because they lost against him and now he was dead because of the lightning that surrounded his body.
But the man's body jolted and they got scared, backing away as a result. They could only see his back. They knew that they couldn't match him at all, and were ready to run to live for another day. But when he turned around, they saw a delightful smile that was on his face.
"Thank you boys. You have helped me defeated my demon heart and reached the next realm."
Feng Shu and Beng Hun were curious on what the next realm was. So they checked his information again.
[Qi Condensation was next. Good thing brother Feng told us to not take the pill yet or it could have been bad!]
Sun Bo gave them an expression of gratitude.
"Thank you. Do not worry, I will not kill you. I am in your debt, for you killed the snake that had plagued my mind and got rid of my demon heart. I made a breakthrough to the next realm because of this. I also know that you are not a disciple of that sect, because you do not know the history concerning it. Let our bygones be bygones!"
Feng Shu and Beng Hun loosened up and sighed. Beng Hun didn't know what any of these words mean, but knew that they helped Sun Bo.
Beng Hun asked Sun Bo, "So you won't kill us even though we lost...?"
Sun Bo laughed.
"Not if you attack me again little rascals! Haha!"
Beng Hun and Feng Shu fell onto their butts. They were trying to process what just happened. Sun Bo had his arm crossed wondering what they were thinking about.
[So we attacked this guy... and lost. We were about to die, but I showed him the head of that girl. It seems like he is related to the Heavenly Guardian Sect. He then made a 'breakthrough', which I know from the novels that he reached a new realm. A demon heart, I'm not familiar what that means. Furthermore, we are not even strong enough to injure a Foundational Establishment cultivator at the slightest.]
[My Heaven Void Steps hitted him, but it seemed to not even injure him one bit! These cultivators are strong... we must be like them to get stronger!]
Finally after some time, their minds were cleared. Feng Shu proceeded to ask Sun Bo some questions.
"Do you know how we can step into the world of cultivation?"
Sun Bo shook his head.
"Why are you boys trying to become cultivator? It is a path of peril, pain, and strife. Rarely will someone spare your life like me if you step into our world. Take the advice. Are you guys sure that you want to know?"
They both nodded and yelled "Yes!"
"Hmph. I will help you because you helped me. Before you even reached Foundational Establishment, you have to start at Body Refining. That is the first realm. You need a breathing technique and one body refining pill to start. I'll give you one of each for the both of you from my storage ring."
"Wow these techniques sound amazing Sun Bo."
"Indeed! Sacred Golden Emperor sound strong!"
Sun Bo rubbed his nose and smirked. Little kids being impressed made his ego inflated.
Both of the brothers saw this message pop up. They indeed wanted him to be a part of their journey to protect them from danger so that they could grow stronger. They both formulated their own plans on how to get him. Beng Hun went first.
"Sun Bo! Come with us. We will cultivate and defeat opponents together! You are strong. Even though the path of cultivation is hard, we will overcome anything by defying the heavens! So please, join us!"
Sun Bo pondered for a few seconds.
"I do not know if I want to join you boys on your journey. I gave you the necessary things to start it. You guys are quite good for not having stepped into a realm. There are some things I must do... even though I am in your debt because you helped me."
Despite sounding put off, Sun Bo was half-convinced on wanting to join. This is because he saw how Feng Shu didn't fall for Ying Ning'er's trick and killed her. He was exceedingly happy for the death of the girl that had caused misfortune in his life.
"Sun Bo, we need you in our group. You are strong. As a matter of fact, we will destroy that Heavenly Guardian Sect if you want! But we need to become stronger. We are like the frog in the well when it comes to these things. As a matter of fact, be our master!"
Sun Bo eyes lightened up. Feng Shu hit every mark of his goal. Wanting disciples and destroying the Heavenly Guardian Sect. It was only a few goals, but it meant a lot to him.
Sun Bo looked at the sky. He took a deep breathe in, then out.
"Can you tell me one thing? Did We Fu have his own journal?"
They were confused but responded.
"No...?"
[What an idiot that We Fu was.... but he was no doubt the best idiot brother of Be Bu's.]
Sun Bo looked down and grinned.
"I will join you guys."
