Unfortunate Hero's Retirement Life 220 The Legends Gather

Surprisingly, the translucent red liquid contained vigorous colorful energy, a bit reddish than the one he found outside. But of course, there was a mixture of gray energy as well.

It was internal energy that could be found from the beast that mutated on Earth. Heero found this kind of internal energy inside the beast's body.

It was clear that the translucent red liquid related to the beast in any way or they might extract the liquid from the beast and process it with their advanced technology.

Heero deducted this much after a quick scan on the elixir. The next process was the man delivered the liquid into his mouth, chugging it down in one go.

The reddish colorful energy entered the man's body. There was a little reaction at first, but then, as soon as the reddish colorful energy entered the stomach area.

It shook violently, a clash happened inside, between the existing internal energy and the energy the man just swallowed. Two different energies in one body, certainly the two energies would clash inside the body hence causing excruciating pain.

As Heero predicted, a pained scream escaped the man's mouth. Surprisingly, the man endured the pain well. He remained on his seat, holding the chair with all his might.

While everyone focused their attention on the man's body, whether it had changed or not. Heero had his eyes preoccupied with the clash between the two energies.

The clash between the two energies lasted a full three minutes. Resulting in reddish colorful energy being absorbed by the existing energy inside the man's body.

At the same time, a violent wind lashed out of his body. The wind was as sharp as a blade, cutting through the steel wall and the ground.

Bam!

Not only that, but the wind also reached the glass. Causing a ruckus noise that did not belong to a glass.

Heero was the first one to react. He stood before everyone, intending to block the wind if the glass was broken by the wind.

However, his move was unnecessary, the glass was fine. The wind failed to break the glass.

The middle-aged man with a white robe stood from his sear with his two hands up.

"Yes! It's a success. It's the wind, Elemental Awakening Ability! We have gotten a promising young hero~" The middle-aged man cheered happily.

Besides Heero, Bai Xin Yue, and Kang Seo-Yeon. There were five staff of the Hero League in the room. All five cheered happily with the result.

Kang Seo-Yeon and Bai Xin Yue were also happy. It was quite worthy of being happy with such a promising guy joining the Hero League.

Heero was the only one who had a frown on his forehead. He recalled what happened to the man early. The guy actually used his newly absorbing energy and used it to summon the wind.

'But how? How did he use it if he did not have control over the energy?'

This was the thing that confused Heero. The guy somehow managed to use his internal energy while being clueless about it.

Another question popped on his mind, 'But why did the guy need the elixir? Why didn't he use the existing energy without swallowing the elixir? It's doable, possible, but why didn't he?'

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became.

"Why don't you take him in? He seems decent," Kang Seo-Yeon elbowed Heero.

She could feel they were quite lucky to encounter a promising recruit in their first visit.

To her surprise, Heero rejected the notion of recruiting the one-called promising recruit outright.

"Nope, nevermind! I will slowly take my time…" He paused and looked at the staff, "Is there more?"

"Yes, our room is scheduled to receive 20 new recruits for the awakening. This is the first one, there're still 19 more new recruits, "

Hearing Heero's question, the staff immediately faced toward Heero and replied respectfully.

"Mnn, I will stay here for quite a while. I am going to watch all the awakening! It's fine if you..." Hero turned toward the two girls who accompanied him. But he could not finish his words, the girls cut his words halfway.

"Then I will stay too!"

"Let's watch it together!"

The two girls replied in unison.

"Oh, okay then…" Heero had nothing to say if the girls insisted to stay. He turned back toward the other room.

It was as if the awakening drained all his energy. The man could not walk properly without being supported by two people.

After the man went out, another one entered the room. The second chose one, he looked younger than the first one and had a confident look on his face as he sat at the empty chair.

Just like that, Heero spent his time watching the awakening process. He was curious and badly wanted to know how these people used their internal energy.

At the same time, on the other side of the core region, Ranker Alliance's main home, Alliance House.

The Ranker Alliance also did the same as the Hero League. They opened big recruitment, on the same day as the Hero League.

Their intention was clear, competing against the Hero League for the new recruit. No, in fact, they suffered heavy damage as the Ranker Alliance became one of the main targets.

Conference Room, Alliance House

Twenty-five people of varying ages were gathering. These people were the head of the Ranker Alliance.

If the Hero League was led by twelve executives, the Ranker Alliance was led by their Legendary Class Rankers. Yes, these twenty-five people were the remaining Legendary Class Ranker the alliance had after the attack.

Out of thirty-nine Legendary Class Rankers, five of them died during the attack and ten of them betrayed humanity to join the specter side to save their lives.

Dozens of Crown Class Rankers died and also joined the specter side with their lives at stake. Countless Gold Class Rankers and Silver Class Rankers also died.

For the first time in the last ten years, the Ranker Alliance received a critical hit. They had to recoup their loss faster hence they opened the big recruitment at the same time as the Hero League did.

They gathered here to talk about how to restore the damage they suffered during the attack.

"That damn Zack Jessel! How dare he betray us! Damn it!" Adrun, Legendary Class Ranker - Rank 12 slammed the conference table annoyedly.

"Stop your childish act, Moron! We are here not to hear your useless rant!" A cold voice resounded through the conference room.

Adrun immediately turned toward the voice, clearly angry by how he was called. However, his pupils immediately shook as he met with the cold gaze.

He flinched and inhaled a deep breath, calming his temper at once. It was because the one who rebuked him was someone he and his family could not offend.

A madman, Park Haneul of the Park Family, Legendary Class Ranker - Rank 5. A middle-aged man in his late forties and also the younger brother of the Park Family's head.

Whether it was his background or his strength, everything about this guy was above him. Adrun was not that stupid to piss this guy and he immediately shut his mouth up.

"Hoho, calm down guys! Take it easy~ Take it easy~" A white-haired old man meditated with his calming voice.

This old man was Hanzo Keiji of the Hanzo Clan, Legendary Class Ranker - Rank 4. His wrinkled face formed a smiling face and he was giving off a kind aura amidst the grim atmosphere in the conference room.

Smiling toward Park Haneul, Hanzo Keiji opened his mouth and a gentle voice flowed out, "My friend Haneul, I heard you have a solution for our crisis. Why don't you enlighten us with your solution instead of berating our friend?"

Along with Hanzo Keiji's words, twenty-four pair eyes turned toward Park Haneul.

Park Haneul said nothing but clapped his hand twice and a projection appeared in the middle of the conference table.

The projection was showing a young man's face. As soon as the picture appeared, everyone in the conference room instantly recognized the young man.

Everyone showed a different reaction to the picture. None of them interrupted Park Haneul as well. They were waiting for Park Haneul's explanation.

"He's the key for our Ranker Alliance to pass the crisis and thrive. My cousin at the Hero League has done a deep investigation on this man. At all costs, we must pull him to our side!"

After that, Park Haneul clapped his hand once more. This time, five attendants entered the room with documents in their hands.

The attendant distributed the documents to everyone in the room.

"Read it, you will know why I said at all costs we must pull Xing Heero to our side!"

Yes, the projection was showing Heero's picture.
