Chapter 63: Cheers
"I protected the city…"
He said in a low voice and unbelievable tone, slowly Sun Zhou Yi's consciousness faded away. He could feel the endless energy he had when he faced the beast horde slowly seeped away from his body.
He did not have more strength in his body even to move his feet. He could only maintain his position with the remaining strength he had. Slowly, his vision darkened and he closed his eyes.
Sun Zhou Yi lost consciousness, but a faint smile formed on his lips. This was the most heroic moment he had in his life and the event that changed his life.
A man surrounded by the beast's dead bodies and blood covered the man, but the man steadily stood up, giving an impression of heroic bearing to the people who saw it.
Again and again, Sun Zhou Yi surprised Heero who watched from the top. Meanwhile, it took him two years to achieve what Sun Zhou Yi achieved in three months. He did not expect to get a genius as his first disciple.
Heero did not immediately descend, but he looked back to the north gate. Three men were standing there they were taking pictures of Sun Zhou Yi's heroic moment. The cameras kept flashing, indicating they were taking a picture.
They took the picture from different angles as much as possible. Heero already noticed these three people an hour ago. The city sounded the alarm and issued a warning, a Level 10 Calamity.
However, after four hours of alarm resounded. The beast did not enter the city. The three dare-to-die journalists braced themselves to come out of the commerce region.
At first, the three journalists only found the empty state of the outer region. Soon after that, they found no beast could be seen in the outer region.
The three journalists kept investigating and realized the beast did not enter the city. In the end, their investigation led them to the north gate and witnessed how a man alone, battling against the beast horde.
It shocked the three journalists. They thought the man was an Emperor Class Hero. However, they found out the man was not familiar. As journalists who dared to risk their life for news, they recognized every Emperor Class Hero who had shown their face to the public.
But three of them did not recognize the man who stood amongst the beast's dead bodies. Moreover, they were far away from the battlefield and did not dare to come closer even though there was no beast around. So they could not uncover the man's identity.
The three journalists were focusing on taking pictures of Sun Zhou Yi, they did not care that much about the identity. The Hero League would eventually announce it to the world, the hero who managed to stop Level 10 Calamity alone.
Besides the picture, they also had thirty minutes of footage. The last thirty minutes of fighting were recorded on their camera. The three dare-to-die Journalists grinned ear to ear as they kept taking the pictures.
Heero did not come down because of these three people. He did not want to steal his disciple's limelight by suddenly descending from the sky. So he let these three Journalists take the pictures as much as they want.
After ten minutes, the three dare-to-die Journalists finished taking the pictures. They immediately ran back inside the city. For now, these three just wanted to release this news out.
"One Man Army Stopped Level 10 Calamity", "Nameless Sword God Slaughtering the Beast Horde", and "Hero Or Ranker? The Rise of Power House!"
Three Journalists already had their own titles for their articles as they ran back, brimming with excitement and happiness. Without a doubt, this exclusive news would cause turmoil and sensation among people. The promotion was waiting for them ahead.
Heero's eyes followed the three Journalists until they vanished from his sight. Just as he wanted to descend from the wall, he paused his steps.
"Should I wait for the other heroes to arrive and let them bring Zhou Yi back?"
Heero had a thought like this was for a reason, the achievement. He was afraid if he brought his disciple now, the others would not know that the one who stopped the beast horde was Zhou Yi.
He just did not want his disciple to have the same fate as him. Getting his achievement stolen by the other heroes. All the more this was Earth, where the humans were just thinking about their interests alone.
It was natural if the other heroes tried to steal his disciple's achievement as only a few witnesses had witnessed Zhou Yi's brilliant feat. If he brought Zhou Yi now, it would most likely happen.
He looked back at Sun Zhou Yi. He could see his disciple has suffered many injuries as well. Sun Zhou Yi must get treatment from him.
"Nah, I remember the face of three men who took the picture, I can have them to confess if there's someone who so shameless to steal my disciple's achievement…" Heero looked around.
After making sure there was no one around, he jumped down and landed right beside his disciple.
However, he was stunned when he heard a snore originating from Sun Zhou Yi. Heero saw his disciple's face was having a faint smile as he slept soundly, sleeping while standing amidst the beast's dead bodies.
Heero shook his head and took his disciple onto his shoulder. The battle had come to an end, it was time to get back.
The north gate and the district where he lived were not far from each other, it took only a few minutes for Heero to reach the district.
When he reached there, he saw there were many people gathered, from the elderly to the children. He heard children's cries and the district was more crowded than usual.
Heero's arrival caught everyone's attention, he was bringing a man covered in blood after all. Many people made a path to Heero. Fear could be seen from these people's expressions and they moved as far as possible from Heero.
Heero also did not bother to explain he was not a villain and the man he brought with him was the hero who saved them from the beast horde.
It was better if these people let him pass through like this. He soon reached Miao Miao Noodles Shop. He saw many people gathered there and amongst the crowd, a few figures were rushing towards him.
Hong Yu, Han Ying, Butcher Wang, Dong Woo, Myung Hee, Lan Lan, and Xiao Xi. Amongst them, Xiao Xi was the most panicked.
"Zhou Yi! What happened to Zhou Yi? H-he… H-he…" Tears filled her eyes as she sobbed upon looking at Zhou Yi covered in blood.
Butcher Wang, Hong Yu, and Han Ying were also shocked when they looked at Sun Zhou Yi's condition.
Heero returned with a smile and said, "There's no need to worry, he's fine."
Those words were directed to Xiao Xi, who was the most anxious one, "He only needs to take a couple of hours medicine bath and he will be fine. Currently, he is sleeping, look!"
Heero moved Sun Zhou Yi's body closer to Xiao Xi.
Xiao Xi got a closer look at her boyfriend and sure enough, she heard a snore from Sun Zhou Yi.
Fyuuhhh!
Xiao Xi let out a sigh of relief. The others were also relieved, only Butcher Wang who still looked anxious.
"What about the beast horde?" instantly he blurted anxiously. Heero and Sun Zhou Yi were back, then what about the beast horde? Everyone wanted to know about the beast horde who attacked the city.
Han Ying, Hong Yu, Dong Woo, and Xiao Xi turned their heads toward Heero. Wanting to know what exactly happened outside there.
"Fear not, the beast horde have been exterminated," Heero replied with a reassuring smile.
Butcher Wang and Dong Woo had shocked looks on their faces. It was just hard to believe Level 10 Calamity was exterminated in such a short time.
Meanwhile, the girls were relieved upon hearing that. It was the thing they wanted to hear the most, the threat was eliminated. They did not bother to ask who was the one who did it. As for the two little girls, a big smile blossomed as they showed the joy on their faces.
Only Dong Woo and Butcher Wang were bothered with that. Only two people went to the north gate. Heero and Sun Zhou Yi.
Looking at Sun Zhou Yi's current condition, it was most like Heero… a teen and an adult looked at Heero fervently with their shocked gaze.
The next moment, both received more shock for what they heard.
Heero waved his hand and told the truth, "Nope, it's not me. It's Sun Zhou Yi. He exterminated the beast horde, Alone!"
He gave the credits to his disciple as it was indeed Sun Zhou Yi who killed the most beasts. He only killed over a hundred beasts, the beasts that would trouble Sun Zhou Yi.
"Alright, I need to treat Zhou Yi, you guys take care of them. They can go back right now, the threat is eliminated!"
Heero entered Miao Miao Noodles Shop and went to the rooftop. Only Xiao Xi followed Heero, Butcher Wang and Dong Woo froze on the spot. They just could not believe what they heard.
Especially, Dong Woo could not believe it. He knew Sun Zhou Yi was a Wood Class Hero. A Wood Class Hero couldn't face Level 10 Calamity, alone at that. He could not even believe if it was an Emperor Class Hero.
The same for Butcher Wang, if Heero said it was himself who face the beast horde, he might believe it. He did not know how strong Heero was, but he could tell Heero's strength was just unfathomable even to the current him.
Just as he wanted to chase after Heero, there was an elderly held him back.
"Young man, is it true? Is it true Level 10 Calamity has been stopped?"
The surroundings heard the conversation between him and Heero and the crowd immediately gathered around Butcher Wang, Dong Woo, Han Ying, and Hong Yu.
...
Meanwhile, Heero arrived on the rooftop. He put Sun Zhou Yi on the bench and prepared the barrel for the medicine bath. He put the medicine bath below the tree and looked at Xiao Xi who stood near Zhou Yi.
"Xiao Xi, can you help with the water?" Heero pointed his finger at the corner of the rooftop, the faucet was there and there was a rubber tube below the faucet.
Xiao Xi nodded her head ran to get the barrel and filled it with water. Meanwhile, Heero entered his research cabin, took out four bottles of herbs, and came out again.
The barrel was half-filled with water when he came out. Heero put the four bottles of herbs into the barrel with water. After that, he put his hand to the barrel.
Several seconds later, the barrel let out hot steam. It shocked Xiao Xi who was first time witnessing such a thing. Even though she had heard many times from her boyfriend how strong Heero was, but she never knew Heero was this strong. A man with an awakened ability.
She finally understood why did her boyfriend so proud each time he mentioned his Master to her.
After that, Heero approached Sun Zhou Yi. He stopped for a moment and looked back at Xiao Xi, "Are you sure you want to stay here?"
"Yes, I will accompany him until he wakes up!" Xiao Xi gave an instant answer yet also firm.
Heero nodded his head and began undressing Sun Zhou Yi's clothes. Heero's action surprised Xiao Xi, a yelp came out of her mouth, "Yiiiiii… What are you doing?"
"Of course, taking off your boyfriend's clothes. He could not take medicine bath with his clothes covered in blood."
Heero took off everything. It was a bit awkward when it reached the lower part. After all, Xiao Xi was with him here. After that, Heero picked Sun Zhou Yi. He saw Xiao Xi covered her eyes with her hand, but he could see curious eyes in the gap of her finger. Moreover, those eyes were looking at Sun Zhou Yi's lower part.
"It's big…" Xiao Xi muttered in a low voice. Heero could tell Xiao Xi was surprised when she saw how big the little Zhou Yi was.
Heero let out a chuckle and Xiao Xi blushed in shame. She thought Heero could not hear her, but the chuckle proved otherwise.
Heero brought Sun Zhou Yi to the barrel and put him in. As soon as Sun Zhou Yi entered the barrel, his body twitched for a moment and the faint smile on Sun Zhou Yi was replaced with a frown. It was clear, Sun Zhou Yi was in pain.
"OUCH…." Sun Zhou Yi opened his eyes wide. He tried to come out, but Heero's hand pressed him down.
Then Sun Zhou Yi saw his Master's handsome face who was currently smiling at him. He gritted his teeth, holding the pain that assaulted his body. After a moment, the pain reduced a lot and Sun Zhou Yi let out a sigh.
Then he remembered something and looked up to Heero, with joy and excitement, Sun Zhou Yi declared with a big smile, "Master! I protected the city! I killed the beasts! I…"
Heero stopped Sun Zhou Yi with a big smile, "I know…"
HORRAY! HORRAY! HORRAY! HORRAY!
HOORAY! HOORAY! HOORAY! HOORAY!
Heero could not finish his words and cheers resounded from below.
Along with a loud cheer, tears trickled down from Sun Zhou Yi's eyes. The tears could not stop falling from his eyes. Sun Zhou Yi stood up and hugged Heero.
"Master! Thank You! Thank You~ Master! Thank You…"
Heero was shocked by Sun Zhou Yi's unexpected move.
Xiao Xi was the one who received the most shock. She witnessed with her own eyes her naked boyfriend was hugging another man in tears.
