Chapter 877 - Give Up The Demon King

Calina then asked Roan, "What do you plan to do with him?"

Roan pondered over it for a bit and then looked at the kid, deciding to ask, "Zuo, right? Are you willing to be my personal disciple?"

Calina could not help but widen her eyes after hearing that. Roan had helped all the disciples so far. Although he was strict, he was also respected due to how good his training was. However, Roan had never dedicated too much time to a single person...except Rean. Well, if Rean didn't improve, that would be a risk to his own life, so he had no choice. Otherwise, he might have killed Rean already.

He did put more effort into Calina and the others, but that was more or less it. This was the first time he actively sought someone to train under his wing, a real disciple. Naturally, that went against everything Calina believed.

Well, she wasn't the only one.

[Rean, Rean, Rean! Roan has just asked a kid called Zuo to be his personal disciple! That Roan! Quick, come see it!] Sister Orb exclaimed as she had a hard time believing what she just said.

"What?!" Rean screamed out of nowhere. That obviously caught the attention of Qia and the others. However, before they could ask him what happened, Rean sent them a Spiritual Sense message, telling them, 'Something came up. Continue without me. I'll be back as soon as I resolve it. Don't worry, though. It's nothing bad.' Rean then disappeared right in front of everyone, much to their surprise. Even Govin didn't know how Rean did that as he simply disappeared from his Spiritual Sense's range.

Rean didn't care, though. He used the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm to teleport straight into Roan's living room. One must remember that as long as Rean and Roan were connected, they could enter the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm and leave it in the location where the other was. It's just that Rean would have to make his way back normally after he was done. Well...he didn't mind it at all this time around.

"Where? Where?! Where is your personal disciple?! Wait! Did you really take a personal disciple? Are you okay? Did someone hit you in the head?" Rean already appeared in the room, throwing hundreds of questions at once.

*Pah!*

*Ouch!*

Roan then hit him on the backhead with a dark expression. "Did we agree that we wouldn't come out in the other's location without warning the other first? What the hell are you thinking?!"

Calina and Zuo looked at that without knowing what to do. Well, Zuo was more interested in how Rean appeared in the middle of the room out of thin air.

Rean rubbed the back of his head as he looked around, just in time to see Zuo looking at him. After that, he asked, "Oh! Could that be your personal disciple?"

Roan shook his head as he replied, "I just asked him if he wanted to be my personal disciple or not. Then, you barged in before the kid could even give me an answer."

"Is that so?" Rean smiled at Zuo and asked, "What is it that caught this ice block's attention? Could it be that you are the reincarnation of a god?"

Zuo felt even more nervous. "I...I don't know what reincarnation is."

Rean shook his head in response. "Forget it. The fact is that you haven't accepted Roan as your master yet." Rean then patted the kid's head before saying, "Give up on that Demon King over there. You should become my disciple instead. I don't know what caught Roan's attention, but it's bound to be really good!"

*Bang!*

*Crack, crack, crack...*

*Crash!*

This time, Roan didn't hold back and sent Rean flying with a kick. "Go fuck yourself! Next time you start saying bullshit, I'll break all your bones!"

Rean then got up while vomiting blood. Roan was really ruthless, so he received quite some damage. However, he still had a smile on his face. "See?! That's the type of master you will get. You better stay with me." 

[Hahaha! That's it, kid! Follow your big brother Rean instead.] Sister Orb also added oil to the fire...although Zuo couldn't see where Sister Orb's voice was coming from.

The more Rean and Sister Orb could bother Roan, the happier they would feel. Injuries? Rean had his Instant Recovery skill. As long as he didn't lose his head, he would be back to normal in seconds. Of course, that didn't mean he didn't feel any pain. It's just that Rean thought that it was worth it.

As for Sister Orb? She could trash Roan anytime she wanted to if he entered the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, so she wasn't afraid at all. 

Roan really began to lose his patience. "Perhaps dying with you won't be so bad as long as I kill you first."

While the three idiots kept aiming at each others' throats, Calina sighed and took Zuo's hand. Unsurprisingly, Rean's plan worked very well, and Roan's outburst scared him a lot. "Don't worry, little guy. Rean is basically the only one the Demon King treats like that." Well, there's Kentucky and Malaka, but Calina thought it was better not to mention those two lost cases. "Besides, I'll be here with you as well. If he hurts you, tell big sister. I'll definitely protect you."

Rean, who was in a brawl against Roan while Sister Orb cheered, thought that it was enough already. "Hahaha! Alright, alright! I'll stop." Rean's Light Element then covered his body as it healed his injuries in the blink of an eye.

Finally, he decided to offer some help, saying, "Zuo, I was just joking. I like to make him angry, that's all. However, Roan is indeed a very good master. You and your parents have a lot to gain if you accept his offer."

It was then that Rean remembered, deciding to ask Roan, "Oh, right! Why do you want to take this kid as your first personal disciple?"

Sister Orb quickly summarized the situation through a Spiritual Sense Message.

"Magnetism?!" Rean began to pat Zuo's should with a smile. "Kid, what an amazing power you have. On second thought, I think I really want to take you as my disciple instead."
