Unfortunate Hero's Retirement Life 129 Another One!?

Putting aside Shen Miao, Heero approached the nervous Kang Dong-Woo. Without any words, he began touching the boy's arms. Dong-Woo was stunned with the sudden touch, he wanted to pull his arm, but unable to.

Butcher Wang who looked a bit sleepy now wide awake. He was interested in what Heero wanted to do with the boy.

Butcher Wang's action only made Dong-Woo getting even more nervous. Fortunately, it did not take long before Heero released him. As soon as Heero released his grips upon him, Dong-Woo relieved inwardly.

"I don't expect you to swing that way," Butcher Wang spoke in a rather odd tone as he had a playful smile formed on his lips.

"Heh, you look more spirited than usual, should I add more training for you today? What about a spar with me?" Heero returned playfully, choking Butcher Wang as he immediately shut his big mouth.

After that, Heero returned his focus on Dong-Woo and formally introduced Butcher Wang to the boy, "He is my second disciple, Bearded Wang."

Kang Dong-Woo was surprised, if not for Heero told him directly like this, he might not believe it. After all, Bearded Wang looked much older than Heero. It was kinda weird someone young like Teacher Xing had an old disciple like Bearded Wang.

"Hello~ Uncle Wang~ my name is Kang Dong-Woo and you can call me Dong-Woo," Dong-Woo politely greeted Bearded Wang.

Butcher Wang nodded with a satisfaction brooded over him. He returned with a small chuckle, "Hoho, so, this is my new junior brother! You should call me Senior Brother instead~"

'Huh, senior brother? There's no way I will call you with that.' Dong-Woo refused inwardly, but he did not say it out of politeness. Even though he said that he was no longer part of the Kang Family, but he still had his pride as someone from Kang Family.

As someone from the core region, people from the outer region were people with a lower status. So, it was impossible for him to willingly call Butcher Wang, senior brother.

Moreover, Dong-Woo perceived that he was stronger than Butcher Wang. He would never call and admit someone weaker than him as his senior brother. It was what Dong-Woo thought of.

Of course, Heero was a different case. He had witnessed with his own eyes how strong Teacher Xing was. After witnessing Heero's power, he placed Teacher Xing above his grandfather who was an ex-Emperor Class Hero.

Dong-Woo merely nodded his head, but the boy could not hide his disdain. Heero could read it by just looking at Dong-Woo's expression. However, Bearded Wang did not notice it as he laughed heartily.

Heero could only shake his head and he also did not plan to forcefully change the boy's impression of Bearded Wang. He did not rebuke or advise the boy as he had his own way to change Dong-Woo.

"Good, the introduction is over, it's time for the training." after saying that, he turned toward the Bearded Wang and said, "You can go now and don't forget to come to the usual training ground. I have a task for you later."

"Junior Brother, I am going!" Butcher Wang did not bother to reply to Heero. He waved his hand toward Dong-Woo instead as he jogged away.

As Butcher Wang got far away, a frown appeared on Dong-Woo's brows. He certainly disliked Butcher Wang, but he did not show it openly.

"Don't underestimate him, even though, he is the weakest amongst my three disciples, he is still far stronger than the current you!"

As these words entered his ears, Dong-Woo snapped out of his thoughts and looked toward Heero who smiled gently at him. Even though Heero said so, Kang Dong-Woo remained unconvinced.

'Teacher Xing just never see my awakened ability, that's why he thinks I can't win against that bearded uncle,'

"Alright, I know that I can't convince you only by words, but you will know soon. I will ask him to have a spar against you in the afternoon. For now, let's start with your training!" Heero rubbed his chin as his eyes fell on Dong-Woo's small frame.

"First, you are weak, physically, much weaker than I thought you would be. So, your first training will be improving your body, so your body could adapt to Ki."

Hearing that, it certainly hurt Kang Dong-Woo's feeling. But when he heard the last words, a confusion appeared on his face as he blurted out, "Ki? What's that?"

"Mmmmnnnn…" Heero paused as he tried finding the right and easy explanation about Ki. The heroes and the people on Earth did not know anything about Ki.

"Ah, Internal Energy. Yes, Ki is internal energy. You need a strong body to produce, control, and use the Ki, but your body is too weak for Ki to reside in, let alone use it. But no worries, you are still young, starting from such a young age is your best advantage."

Heero tapped Dong-Woo's shoulder intimately, lest the boy got discouraged by his words. But then, he found out Dong-Woo was looking at him with a dazed look.

"What? Is there something on my face?"

"Teacher Xing, did you just say internal energy!?" Dong-Woo could not hide his excitement. Afraid he heard wrongly, he asked again to confirm it.

"Yes, internal energy. After you improve your body, I will teach you…" Heero's words trailed off as he realized the boy did not listen to him. He did not know why, but the boy seemed to be entering an excited state.

It took a while before the boy snapped out of his fantasy. He grabbed Heero's hand and shouted excitedly, "Teacher Xing, let's start! What should I do now?"

"Sssshhhh… Don't shout or don't disturb others' sleep!" He did not ask his disciples what made him excited. Instead, he gave the boy two training circlets weighing 80 kilos in total.

"Here, wear this and you can jog just like your Senior Brother!"

Kang Dong-Woo didn't know the training circlet was that heavy. He casually took it from Heero's hand and it almost made him fell. It was out of the boy's expectation, he did not expect the small training circlet could be this heavy.

"Teacher, do you want me to run while wearing these?" Dong-Woo asked.

Lifting the eighty kilos training circlet was not a problem, but running while wearing it was a whole different matter.

"Hmmm, Bearded Wang you looked down, he is wearing five hundred kilos training circlet," Heero told a fact that shocked the boy.

Surprisingly, the boy believed it when Heero said it. Even so, Kang Dong-Woo still believed he was stronger than Butcher Wang who was jogging with eight hundred kilos weight. It was not being overconfident, but his confidence came from his awakened ability.

'I have my own advantage, it's my awakened ability~' Dong-Woo comforted himself with the fact that he had his awakened ability.

As for Butcher Wang, as far as he knew, Bearded Wang was a hunter with no fame. That meant Butcher Wang was at least not as strong as Sun Zhou Yi. With that thought in his mind, Dong-Woo wore the training at his ankles.

"This is the route!" Heero showed a map with his smartwatch. On the map, there was a red line, it was the route Dong-Woo had to take.

Kang Dong-Woo gasped, the red line that formed an oval shape looked not too far away. However, there was the total distance at the bottom left corner, it showed the distance he had to finish was thirty-five kilo.

"Teacher Xing, are you sure this is the right route?" He was quite nervous and asked in a low voice.

"Hmm, what's wrong? You can't do this, this distance could be considered shorter compared to Bearded Wang's first time." Heero provoked the boy by bringing Bearded Wang. Sure enough, it was working.

Hearing that, the boy immediately wanted to start running, but Heero held him back.

"Don't run! You can try walking first, get your body used with the weight first then you can run after your body used with the weight."

"Also, I am not going to follow you, so I don't know if you truly finish your run or not. If you want to be strong just like you claimed to be, then finish it. But if you just want to be a decent hunter like Bearded Wang, it's okay if you don't finish all the training I give you!"

"After all, the stronger your body is, the more Ki you can absorb!"

After that, Heero pulled his hand from the boy's shoulder. As for Kang Dong-Woo, he immediately started walking, but a burning spirit could be seen from his eyes.

He did not doubt Heero's words in the slightest except one, the fact that Butcher Wang was stronger than him. He remained unconvinced regarding that. As for the internal energy, he did not doubt it.

Heero did not go back, but looking at Kang Dong-Woo's back who was getting far from him.

"Heh, it seems I have to ask that bearded guy to crush Dong-Woo. Crush him, till he can't get up, then I will lift him up. I have to crush his pride or it will be his big weakness in the future!"

"Bearded Wang oh Bearded Wang, you will be the bad guy and I will be the good guy," Heero muttered playfully.

"Alright, it's time for me to train as well. Even though I never encountered someone as strong as Specter God or my Master, I can't be sure about the future. At least, I have to recover to my peak." Heero talked to himself.

Just as he wanted to head back to the rooftop, he halted his steps as he saw a boy standing next to the shop's door. He recognized the boy, one of the kids from the orphanage, Xu Lingxun.

As he wondered what Xu Lingxun was doing here, the boy opened his mouth.

"Boss, let me be your disciple as well just like him!" Xu Lingxun said it in a deep voice as his finger directed at where Dong-Woo went.

Heero was stunned, stunned because of what he saw from the boy's eyes. He saw a strong determination from Dong-Woo's eyes, but it was totally a whole different emotion from Xu Lingxun.

Fury and hatred, he could see from the boy's eyes as this was not the first time he saw this kind of eyes.
