Unfortunate Hero's Retirement Life 187 Red Festival - Part 5

Just now, Wu Yintao was suspecting the Musashi Clan involved with Heero Academy. But now, his suspicion moved toward the Bai Family.

Bai Xin Yue's status in the Bai Family was higher compared to Musashi Hirata in the Musashi Clan.

Wu Yintao would still believe it if Musashi Hirata was kicked out as the rumor said Musashi Hirata had a bad relationship with the clan.

But not with Bai Xin Yue, it could be said that Bai Xin Yue was the only successor of the Bai Family after Bai Tian Ming. So, the chance of the Heero Academy related to the Bai Family was higher than the Musashi Clan.

Bai Tian Ming ignored the two prestigious heroes. He had a complex look as his gaze fell on his daughter's back.

Bai Xian Ming shrugged and replied, "My granddaughter already grew up, she could do whatever she wants to. I can't restrict her, no? But I can testify with my name that this Heero Academy has nothing to do with the Bai Family!"

'At least, for now, his family is not related to Heero Academy in any way, ' Of course, Bai Xian Ming saves the last sentence for himself.

Even though his mouth said her granddaughters could do anything they wanted to, he was keeping a watch on them.

Musashi Kenzan's frown loosened as Bai Xian Ming's words entered his ears. However, Wu Yintao did not, he looked at the father and son duo with an intense gaze.

"What about my proposal, have you considered it?" Wu Yintao asked again. But this time, his words were directed toward Bai Tian Ming.

He recognized his status was not equal to speak in equal footing with Bai Xian Ming. Bai Xian Ming was a senior to him.

Bai Tian Ming furrowed his brows when Wu Yintao brought this up. He looked to the side and replied, "I told you, right? Let your son meet her. If she agrees, there is no reason for me to disagree!"

Yes, Wu Yintao was talking about the engagement between his second son, Wu Shen Lei, and Bai Xin Yue.

When he saw Bai Xin Yue wore Heero Academy's martial clothes, he felt something off. When he heard the same answer, Wu Yintao leaned back to his seat with a contemplating look.

"It will be wise if you accept my proposal, without those three oldmen, your family's foundation is somewhat shaky…" Wu Yintao's words were cut off by Bai Xian Ming's deep voice.

"Hoho… I don't know that Wu Family's head is concerned with my family's affair. I am grateful, but even with my family's shaky foundation, as long as this old man is still alive, I won't let anyone touch my family and leave unscathed. At least, I will bring them to hell with me!"

Wu Yintao immediately shut his mouth as soon as he heard that. It was not his purpose to provoke this old man. He just wanted to prove something out of the duo father and son.

Wu Yintao silently unlocked his smartwatch and sent a message to one of his trusted aides.

-Investigate Heero Academy!

As the atmosphere in the luxurious box tensed up, the outside arena was still in a festive atmosphere.

The match continued and one of the most awaited participants in the main event appeared on the large screen.

[Sun Zhou Yi (No.21) vs Irving Cole (No.91)]

Sun Zhou Yi and Irving Cole came out of the waiting room together.

Irving Cole was a knight from the Regal Kingdom. The Regal Kingdom did not follow the same system as the other cities. They established their own system, Knight Order.

Knight Order had a similar rank as heroes and rankers. The highest rank was Templar Knight. Templar Knight was the same as Emperor Class Hero and Legendary Class Ranker.

Below Templar Knight was Marshal Knight, Grand Knight, Knight, and Apprentice Knight. Irving Cole was Marshal Knight which was equal to Gold Class Hero.

His rank was quite high in the Knight Order. He was in the top thirty of Marshal Knight, but his power was unknown to the masses as the Regal Kingdom was located far from three big cities.

The Hero League could not assess his strength properly and gave him an appropriate number based on his rank in the Knight Order.

As soon as Irving Cole came out with his heavy armor, the spectators exclaimed in awe. Knight was a rare existence in the three big cities, so Irving Cole's appearance caused a bit of excitement to the spectators.

Armed with crimson heavy armor, a special armor for Marshal Knight, Irving Cole walked to the stage at a steady pace.

However, Sun Zhou Yi's appearance also incited an uproar to the spectators. His reputation was spread positively and the spectators were excited to see a blue sword that floated around him.

But the excitement did not last long as the spectators were left speechless by Sun Zhou Yi's action.

There was a flag tied to the blue sword. It was the same flag as Musashi Hirata and Bai Xin Yue's flag. Not only that, but Sun Zhou Yi also wore the same martial clothes.

The excitement died down for a moment as the spectators discussed amongst themselves. The talk was about the Heero Academy.

First, it was Kang Seo-Yeon, then Bai Xin Yue, and now Sun Zhou Yi. It was, without a doubt, the Heero Academy's name left a deep impression on the spectators.

Both participants arrived on the stage at the same time. Irving Cole's eyes were stuck to the floating sword. He had heard the rumored Ki Sword.

It was hard to believe at first, but now, looking at the floating sword directly, Irving Cole nodded.

'I meet a worthy opponent!' It was in Irving Cole's mind upon the sight of the floating sword.

"Summon all your swords!" Irving Cole spoke in English. He heard the rumor that Sun Zhou Yi could summon up to ten swords.

Unfortunately, as someone who lived in poverty, Sun Zhou Yi's education was limited only to elementary school. He could not understand what the opposite party said.

With an apologetic look, Sun Zhou Yi his head slightly and replied in Chinese, "I am sorry, but I don't understand what you said, "

Surprisingly, Irving Cole understood what Sun Zhou Yi said to him.

"Summon all your swords, I heard you can summon ten swords at once!" Said Irving clumsily. Despite the clumsy Chinese, Sun Zhou Yi still could understand what Irving told him.

Sun Zhou Yi shook his head and raised the sword he took from the weapon rack, "My Master told me not to rely on my Ki Sword too much. So I won't use the Ki Sword if it's not necessary."

Irving Cole's green eyes gleamed in a vicious glint. Then he noticed it seemed the opposite party was not intentionally humiliating him. He could feel that Sun Zhou Yi was sincere and telling the truth.

Irving Cole immediately perceived the meaning behind Sun Zhou Yi's words.

Whether he would use the Ki Sword or not, all of it depended on him. If he could corner Sun Zhou Yi, he might witness the rumored Ki Sword.

Irving Cole nodded as he pulled his sword out and raised his crimson shield.

Noticing the two participants were ready, Long Bin slammed his steel staff, "Start!"

Irving Cole advanced at a steady pace with his shield upfront. Sun Zhou Yi also advanced while raising his sword up.

Sun Zhou Yi did not learn specific swordsmanship just like Musashi Hirata. His swordplay was crude, with no special movement as he faced Irving Cole head-on.

Sun Zhou Yi and Irving Cole met in the center of the stage. The latter frowned as Sun Zhou Yi's move was full of openings.

An image displayed in his mind as Irving Cole prepared for the counter.

'I will force you to summon all your Ki Swords!'

With those thoughts in his mind, he raised his shield. He intended to block the sword with his shield and countered the attack with the sword.

It was a simple move, but if one executed properly, it could be a deadly move.

Bang!

The sword clashed with the shield, causing a deafening noise. The most shocked one was Irving Cole.

His left hand which was holding the shield went numb. He also felt a slight pain on his palm. The clash also pushed him back, causing him to lose momentum to counter.

Irving Cole slashed his sword toward Sun Zhou Yi. He did not want to miss this chance but to his surprise, Sun Zhou Yi was ready to send the second blow.

'Despite full of openings, his reaction also fast, '

Clank!

The sword clashed, causing a spark as the two swords clashed. This time, Irving Cole could feel clearly the force behind the sword was bigger than before.

He almost lost his grip in his sword by just one clash. In that instant, Irving Cole realized it seemed the opposite party had superior strength.

He immediately took a few steps back, distancing himself from Sun Zhou Yi.

However, Sun Zhou Yi did not give his opponent a chance to rest. As Irving Cole recreated, Sun Zhou Yi followed him closely.

Sun Zhou Yi slashed the sword vertically, he slashed the sword upward.

Irving Cole gritted his teeth as he put his shield forward. His hand was still trembling from the earlier impact.

Clank!

This time, Irving Cole could not take the sword head-on. His shield bounced up from the impact, exposing his body without a proper defense.

Sun Zhou Yi immediately raised his feet and launched a kick to Irving Cole's stomach.

Irvin Cole retroceded as the kick landed on his stomach. An acute pain transmitted into his belly, his heavy armor failed to block the pain.

As the pain on his stomach had not eased up, Irving Cole saw Sun Zhou Yi's figure right before him. The opposite party did not give him time to recover, forcing him to receive a blow after blow.

Clank! Clank! Clank! Clank!

Under Sun Zhou Yi's relentless attack, Irving Cole was forced to face the sword head-on.

Irving Cole could see many openings on Sun Zhou Yi, but he could not use those openings to his advantage. The clash lasted for two minutes before Long Bin forcefully stopped the match.

"Sun Zhou Yi won!"

Along with the announcement, Irving Cole lost his grip on his shield and sword.

Clank! Clank!

The sword and shield fell on the ground and the spectators could see that Irving Cole's hand shook fiercely through the big screen.

Sun Zhou Yi bowed to Irving Cole and turned around. The Ki Sword with the Heero Academy flag followed him.

As he went down off the stage, the spectators applauded.

"Good Match!" A shout like this could be heard here and there.
