Nie Zeng's wish was to be a lone killer with no fixed partners or encumbrances. Everyone said it was impossible but he persisted in this goal because one day he would betray his mentor, the Dragon King, and challenge him.
There was still a resolute pride in the teenager's heart. He didn't want to dedicate his life to caring for others and felt that being alone would save him a lot of trouble.
Both the Dragon King and the training instructor Hu Shining were well aware of Nie Zeng's goal but they had still accepted him as a killer disciple and even appointed him to the role of personal bodyguard. This perplexed the teenager and struck deeply at his heart. He had diligently practiced for two years and put in twice as much effort as his fellow disciples, but in his enemy's heart, he was not even a threat.
