Chapter 307: Bloodline Inheritance - Part 1

The gatekeeper spoke in a low voice as they looked toward Ryan White. Just like Kang Seo-Yeon told Heero, he was famous throughout.

"Oopsie, my hoodie!" Realizing his cloak no longer covered his face, he pulled his cloak up to cover his face.

He walked forward but stopped when he found a ten meters steel wall. Both sides of the main road were covered by the steel wall which made him curious.

'What's this wall? I did not see this wall a few years back then, '

Ryan White wanted to jump over the wall to see what was inside. He then shook his head, 'It will attract unwanted attention and it may hard to get back if the people know I am here, '

He decided against his idea to jump in. Even though he was at the outermost of the outer region, surprisingly many cars parked around. This place was supposed to be kind of a slum but the main road was crowded by cars. He could even see a supercar parked amongst many cars.

"It's just a few years but many things have changed…" Ryan White muttered as he scanned his surroundings curiously.

After a few minutes of walking, he finally found the gate to enter the walled area. There was a short line in front of the gate. It seemed one had to be checked or something before they could enter the area.

Eight uniformed securities guarded the gate strictly. He also found four people on top of the wall with a set of the bow. The security was so strict, making him even more curious about what was inside.

Ryan White scurried his way to the line. While waiting for his turn, he looked at what was behind the steel gate.

"Huh!?" He was surprised.

Behind the gate was a bustling district. He could see a well-decorated district filled with a crowd of people. From the young to the elderly.

"Just a normal district?" He blurted out.

The person in front of him heard what he said. The man turned around, he was an unranked Silver Class Hero.

"A normal district? How can you compare Xing District to a normal district! You must be new?"

Ryan White looked at the man in front of him. In one glance, he could tell the man in front of him was a Hero.

"You are right, I am new here. So brother, can you tell me what's so special about this Xing District?"

However, the man in front of him did not tell him what he wanted to know. The man just looked at him weirdly.

"Don't you have a smartwatch or even a computer? How come you don't know about the Xing District!?"

Ryan White was taken back. It seemed it was natural to know about this Xing District.

'Urgh, I have been away too long and my smartwatch is broken too…'

"Urmm, actually I am a Hero that is just recently coming back from a long mission, and my smartwatch broke…"

"Ah, so you are a Hero as well. You shall explore the wonders of the Xing District. I am in a hurry, I have to pick my weapon from the Blacksmith Association for the revaluation test!"

The unranked Silver Class Hero waved his hand and turned around. It was his turn to get identified.

"Blacksmith Association!?" Ryan White muttered in a low voice.

Just as he wanted to turn around, a figure rushed toward him and bumped into him.

"I am sorry, I am sorry, " Ye Zhun repeatedly bowed his head as he was at fault. He was rushing in a hurry without looking at his surroundings properly and bumped into someone.

Ryan White was pushed two steps back. Surely, it was not just a light bump of an ordinary person. He looked up and found a boy about eleven or maybe twelve bowed toward him.

"Ah, Sir Ryan!" Kim Hyun-Su called out from afar.

The cloak that covered his face was pulled off from the impact earlier. Ryan White's handsome face was revealed and the surroundings immediately recognized him.

Hearing that, Ye Zhun looked up. He looked toward the person he bumped and found it extremely familiar. He was pleasantly surprised to meet Emperor Class Hero - Rank 1. But then, his expression returned normal a few seconds later.

"I am sorry, Sir Ryan. I was in a hurry and bumped onto you, " Ye Zhun apologized properly and bowed his head once again.

"Hello, Sir Ryan, I am Kim Hyun-Su of the Kim Family, " Kim Hyun-Su greeted formally with a bow of his head.

"Oh… It's okay. I am at the fault as well, " Ryan White waved his hand continuously at Ye Zhun.

Aside from his strong battle power, Ryan White was famous for his friendly personality. That was one of many reasons he was being well received by the people.

He covered his shock pretty well under his eyes. The two boys bowed their heads toward him and left toward the gate. He could hear from the conversations that the boys were going to hunt the beasts.

"Who is he?" Ryan White muttered as he looked at Ye Zhun's back. He was surprised that he was getting pushed back by a simple bump from the boy.

"Ohoho, they are the first generation disciples of the Heero Academy!" Fatty Liang who was on duty answered proudly.

"Heero Academy…" Ryan White muttered in a low voice and turned around. He put the cloak back and followed the main road.

"You don't want to visit the district, Sir Ryan?" Fatty Liang asked in confusion. He clearly saw Ryan White was lining up to enter.

Ryan White waved his hand at Fatty Liang and replied, "Next time! I will visit the district next time!"

President Office of the Hero League

Heero was getting through the paperwork, from the new system implementation and choosing the trusted people to handle the work. Currently, he was looking through the confession from the heroes.

Yes, the cleansing continued and the moment he was chooses as the president, the twelve Major Forces which was now eleven, forced their people to confess for leniency.

He was looking at the confession and matching it with his investigation. As he read one report, Heero felt the vibration from his smartwatch. He looked at his wrist, a message from Fatty Liang.

[Ryan White, Emperor Class Hero - Rank, just visited the district.]

"Huh!?" Heero was surprised at first but then he smiled as a scenario formulated in his head.

'This White Household called him back to pressure me with this guy, maybe?'

It could be said that Ryan White was holding a bigger power than the White Household itself. He had investigated and the public favored the number one than he thought.

Kang Seo-Yeon who also helped Heero noticed her husband smiled.

"What's wrong?" She was curious about what made her husband smiled.

"Ryan White is back, we will see him soon, maybe!?"

First Dungeon

"Hah… Hah… Hah…"

Sun Zhou Yi was heavily breathing as he laid down on the ground and looked toward the blue sky. For some reason, there was no night in the first dungeon and this was his third day stayed inside the dungeon.

"Tell me, how did you meet with the Saint?" An old voice rang next to Sun Zhou Yi.

"Huh!? Saint?" Sun Zhou Yi turned toward the voice in confusion.

"Yes, Saint! Your Master, he is Saint!" Niadin also put a puzzled look on his face.

Yes, the current Niadin was in his human form. An old man with a face full of wrinkles but he had a long black lustrous hair.

Looking at Sun Zhou Yi's confused expression, the old man came into a realization, "So he has not told you about that yet, "

When it came about his Master, Sun Zhou Yi was getting interested. He stabilized his breath and sat down. He looked at Niadin with an earnest expression and asked, "Then can you tell me, Old Man Niadin? My Master's past!?"

"All this time, you asked me about the Earth. Now it's time for you to share your story. I want to know about my Master's! How did you meet him?"

Old Man Niadin it was how Sun Zhou Yi called the Void Dragon. To be exact, it was Niadin who told Sun Zhou Yi to call him with that. After three days of sparing, yes, the test Sun Zhou Yi had to pass was a sparing fight against Niadin.

"Hmm, I actually don't know much about your Master…" Niadin paused midway and looked at Sun Zhou Yi, "Wait, if he had not told you yet, it's not my place to tell it to you. You shall ask him yourself, "

Niadin refused to tell Sun Zhou Yi about the Saint. He believed there must be a reason why Heero did not tell his disciple about his identity. Yes, Niadin thought Heero was already Saint, replacing the Old Saint.

The reason was that the Old Saint once told him that he had found the right person to be the successor and that person was Heero. He regarded Heero as Saint already.

Looking at disappointed Sun Zhou Yi, Niadin stood up and looked down, "Rather than that, you pass my test, "

"Huh!?" Sun Zhou Yi blankly looked at Niadin. He remembered the test was to land a blow to Niadin during the spar. However, it had been three days and he failed to land even a single blow.

But of course, that was not a real test. Three days of sparing were to determining Sun Zhou Yi's nature. The Void Dragon was looking for someone with a great personality to inherit his bloodline.

Talent did not matter, as long as one had a dragon bloodline, even people without talent would be a genius hence Niadin focused on looking for someone with a great personality. He did not want his successor to misuse his power for something wicker or even worse.

"Are you ready to receive the mighty Dragon's bloodline?" Niadin did not bother to explain it.
