Chapter 354

"Nothing is impossible."

Luo En said with a smile, "The B-Class Rank 1 hero leading a group of powerful fighters past the S-Class Rank 2 to take the S-Class Rank 1 spot... sounds pretty interesting. I'll help you out too."

Fubuki stared at him in a daze.

What on earth is this person talking about?

Is something like that really possible?

9. Silver Fang, Interesting Martial Arts (Combined Chapter)

Luo En smiled at her, who was staring blankly at him, and said, "I said I'd help you, but that's just based on my mood. Don't get your hopes up too high."

Fubuki came back to her senses and nodded. "I know that, of course."

After all, this was only their second meeting, and the two of them didn't really know each other yet—they were still 'strangers.' Naturally, she wouldn't hold too great an expectation of Luo En.

At this moment, Fubuki simply took his words as idle chatter and didn't take them seriously.

"Rested enough?"

"Pretty much."

"Then let's go."

The two continued walking up the stone steps.

Fubuki glanced at the young man beside her called Luo En. His clean, half-long black hair and bangs swayed gently in the mountain wind, his eyes a deep blue like the ocean, and his features—especially his side profile—were, even by Fubuki's standards, extremely handsome and perfect. His temperament was calm and tranquil, giving off a feeling as gentle as a spring breeze.

But that day, when they first met on that street, the power he displayed was so utterly shocking...

With looks this outstanding and strength this powerful, logically he should have become as famous as Sweet Mask long ago... but in reality, she had never heard anything about him.

There wasn't the slightest trace of him online either—it was as if he'd just popped up out of nowhere...

Or had he been hiding himself and his power all along? And for what reason? Was it related to his not wanting to become a hero?

Fubuki gazed at Luo En, her heart full of curiosity, her thoughts running wild despite herself.

This guy really is a person shrouded in mystery...

………………

The mountaintop.

Outside Banggu's dojo.

The disciple Charanko was sweeping the ground.

"So this is the place?"

Charanko heard the voice and turned his head to look.

He saw a very tall, slender, extremely handsome young man and a stunningly beautiful woman with flawless, snow-white skin walking up together.

"That one is...?"

Charanko caught sight of Fubuki in her green dress with short black hair and froze for a moment.

"Finally here."

Fubuki, who had just walked up, braced her hands on her knees and let out a long breath.

"Um... you're the B-Class Rank 1 hero, Hellish Blizzard, right?"

She heard the voice, looked up at the blond young man in a white training uniform, and said with a hint of recognition, "I remember you, you should be... Mr. Banggu's disciple, your name is..."

"I'm Master Banggu's senior disciple, Charanko."

Charanko said with a smile to Fubuki, then looked toward Luo En beside her and asked curiously, "And this one is?"

"A friend of mine, here to visit Mr. Banggu."

"I... see."

"Is Mr. Banggu in?"

"He is. I'll go announce you right now."

Charanko said, then ran toward the dojo, but before he reached the door, it swung open.

A silver-haired old man with a stooped back appeared before Luo En and Fubuki.

"No need to announce. I heard you."

Charanko scratched his head and called out Master.

Fubuki lowered her head slightly to the silver-haired old man and said respectfully, "Mr. Banggu, it's been a while."

"Oh, it's Fubuki, Tornado's little sister. I heard about what happened the day before yesterday—well done."

Banggu said to Fubuki with a smile, quite affably.

"Being able to hold up a collapsing building—looks like your psychic powers have improved quite a bit lately. When are you thinking about moving up to A-Class?"

"No, I don't have any such plans for now."

Fubuki looked a little embarrassed.

"Is that so..."

Banggu shifted his gaze to Luo En beside Fubuki.

Luo En stood about a head taller than him, so Banggu had to look up to meet his eyes.

One looking up, one looking down—their gazes met.

The instant Banggu saw those calm, ocean-blue eyes, his gaze sharpened slightly, his heart stirring with surprise and doubt.

This aura... this young man is no ordinary person!

Charanko saw this scene and immediately got annoyed.

"Hey, you! The one standing in front of you is the S-Class Rank 2 hero 'Silver Fang'! How dare you be so rude..."

Fubuki also felt Luo En's behavior was a bit rude, but she couldn't bring herself to speak up and remind him, so she tugged at his sleeve.

But to Charanko's and Fubuki's words and actions, both Luo En and Banggu were utterly oblivious.

Banggu stared directly at Luo En and said, "I am Banggu. And you are…?"

"Luo En."

"Luo En? I've never heard that name before. Are you also a hero?"

"No, I'm not."

"I see…"

Banggu stood with his hands behind his back, hunched over, and gazed at Luo En.

"Just now in the dojo, I heard the young girl beside you, Chuixue, say you came to visit me? Is there something you need?"

"Nothing major."

Luo En smiled at Banggu before him and said, "I just want you to fight me."

Banggu froze.

Chalanzhi and Chuixue also stood stunned in place.

"... Huh?!"

Chalanzhi snapped out of it, staring at Luo En in disbelief: "You idiot, do you even know what you're saying? You're not even a hero—how dare you challenge 'Silver Fang,' an S-Class hero?!"

"Can't ordinary people challenge heroes?"

Chalanzhi was left speechless, then flushed with anger. He dropped his broom and adopted the starting stance of the "Flowing Rock Shattering Fist": "Then let me, Chalanzhi, senior disciple of the Flowing Rock Shattering Fist, be your opponent!"

Luo En didn't even look at him—he ignored him completely.

"You bastard!"

Angered, Chalanzhi lunged at Luo En.

Luo En's eyes flickered, and a faint aura released.

Chalanzhi felt nothing, but Banggu's eyes narrowed, his brow furrowed. He instantly moved, grabbing Chalanzhi's shoulder to stop him.

Stopped, Chalanzhi turned to Banggu, bewildered: "Master, what are you doing?"

"Step back, Chalanzhi. This Luo En is not an opponent you can handle."

Banggu stared directly at Luo En and spoke.

"Huh?"

Chalanzhi's face was full of disbelief.

"Luo En, come with me."

Banggu glanced at Luo En, then turned and walked into the dojo.

Luo En stepped past Chalanzhi and entered the dojo.

Chuixue hesitated, then followed inside.
