Inside the third dungeon

Musashi Ueno pushed the black steel gate while the others were ready with their weapons in hand.

Just in case there was something hostile beyond the gate. Musashi Naizen's hand was holding his sword's hand, getting ready in Draw Sword's stance.

5 seconds

10 seconds

"What are you doing, Ueno? Open the gate already!" Musashi Noboru opened his mouth annoyedly.

He wanted to be the person who opened the gate. But his brother did not allow him to do so. So he was still dissatisfied and unhappy about it.

30 seconds passed

Musashi Ueno turned back and embarrassedly confessed, "I can't! The gate won't open"

"..." Everyone was left speechless by the old man.

He could not open the gate, but he wouldn't tell them or ask for a hand.

"What? How can you be so weak!" Musashi Noboru complained and pushed his brother away, "Let me do it!"

Musashi Noboru knew his brother was not joking around. He was not that type of old man hence he put his two hands on the gate.

Taking a deep breath, he pushed the gate with all his might. He was trying and trying until his face turned red but to no avail. The gate did not even budge even a little bit.

"Arghhh This gate must be broken or locked from inside! We have to open the gate from inside! Let's climb the wall instead!"

Musashi Noboru concluded frustratedly, looking for an excuse from failing to open the gate.

"The old man is embarrassed, " Elazaro Tania let out a low chuckle to Sun Zhou Yi. She found it was funny to see the Elder getting embarrassed.

After Musashi Noboru, the others also tried to open the gate. Everyone tried it, even when everyone tried to push the gate together, the gate remained tightly closed.

The Trio Sword Lunatic even used their sword. But except for causing some spark, the sword did not even leave a scratch on the gate.

"The gate is made of unknown steel and it extremely hard. Even enhanced steel could not be compared to this black steel!" Musashi Osada caressed the gate as he recalled the battle between him and Heero.

He still could cut through the enhanced steel, but not this.

'What about that guy? Will he be able to cut the gate? If it's him, it's possible, ' Musashi Osada was thinking of Heero of course.

Sun Zhou Yi was the one with the least words. He rarely spoke since they met the wall, but his eyes never left the wall.

Remember to use your eyes all the time if you encounter something you can't solve. Observe it carefully with your eyes!

He suddenly remembered his Master's words. Heero said those words to him before he departed for the mission.

"Observe it carefully with my eyes" Sun Zhou Yi muttered in a low voice before his pupils turned blue. He activated his Mystical Eyes to observe.

"What? What did you say?" Elazaro Tania heard something, but the words were unclear to her.

Sun Zhou Yi acted as he did not hear her as his eyes widened in surprise. He found something, the reason why the gate was so hard to break.

Through his Mystical Eyes, he saw the true form behind the gate. It was thick purple Ki. Yes, the black steel gate was covered in and out by the thick purple Ki.

He did not understand the significance of the purple Ki. But he understood that that purple Ki was the secret behind the impeachable gate.

Not only the gate, but even the stone wall was also covered by Ki as well. But the Ki on the wall was just normal Ki, the blue one.

'I should ask the Master about this purple Ki later' Thought Sun Zhou Yi as he walked close to the gate.

Through his Mystical Eyes, he could see through the mechanism behind the gate.

"Oy, Young'un! What are you doing? Get ready, we have to climb the wall if we want to enter!" Musashi Noboru called out.

"We don't need to climb the wall, Elder! I have found a way to open the gate, " Sun Zhou Yi replied with a friendly smile.

His answer surprised everyone. Musashi Noboru and Musashi Ueno were the fastest ones to reach Sun Zhou Yi and asked in unison, "How!?"

"I am not sure either, but it might work. Let me try it first, " Sun Zhou Yi was not bothered by the two old men's antics as he replied with a smile.

The old men released Sun Zhou Yi and followed him closely to the gate. The others also followed and circled Sun Zhou Yi.

Sun Zhou Yi himself stood before the massive gate. He looked up as he seemed to make sure of something.

After a quick scan, he put his two hands on the gate and closed his eyes. Sun Zhou Yi was channeling his Ki into the gate.

Inside the gate, there was a path, just like a small pipe. He guessed that he needed to infuse his Ki into the gate through the small pipe and he did so.

Sun Zhou Yi guessed right. As his Ki filled the path, creaking sounds rang. He pulled his hands off and the gate opened.

"Wow! You are amazing!" The only girl in the group cheered and praised Sun Zhou Yi.

The Trio Sword Lunatic stood in front of Sun Zhou Yu and stared at him intently. From their looks, they were looking for an explanation. Explanation of how he could open the gate.

"I am sorry, Elder! I can't tell you the details of how, but I know there's kind of mechanism inside the gate. What I did was channeling my internal energy into the gate!"

"I am sorry, but it's related to my Master's secret technique, " Sun Zhou Yi smiled apologetically to the three old men.

In the end, the three old men did not force Sun Zhou Yi to speak. But the three old men vowed they would seek the answer from Heero's mouth.

With the gate opened, the group entered the gate. The sight greeted them was a ruin, deserted, and desolated city.

A vast ruin entered their eyes. From the look of it, everyone could tell the city was abandoned for a long time already. Dozen years, hundred years or maybe thousands of years.

Wild trees grew up from the ruined building, vines spread on the building that still stood, and tall weed covered the broken road.

"Keep your guard, this place gives off something weird feeling" Musashi Noboru reminded the group. No, he was giving a reminder to the heroes, not his brothers.

*** ***

In the evening, the rooftop of Miao Miao Noodle Shop

"How is it? How much have you learned from your senior brother?" Heero was sitting on the bench below the apple with a bitten red apple in his hand.

Xu Lingxun was sitting next to Heero with a perplexed complexion. He had learned much from Musashi Hirata but limited to collecting information.

The boy told Heero everything he learned truthfully.

Heero nodded his head from time to time. After hearing everything from his disciples, he found what his disciple needed.

"Mnnn I will teach you a new technique to fill what you lack. Soundless Step? Or Vanishing Step?" Heero held his chin, thinking which technique he should teach his disciple.

Even though it was merely footstep, Xu Lingxun's eyes gleamed excitedly. He found out how strong a footstep was when he watched Random Footstep of his senior brother, Butcher Wang.

If one utilized the footstep technique perfectly, it could be a deadly move or transform the footstep into a deadly attack.

"What about both? Let me teach you both footsteps! Come, sit here!" Heero tapped the bench next to him.

Xu Lingxun obediently sat next to Heero as Heero placed his hand on his head. He transferred the visualization of the Soundless Step and Vanishing Step.

It took ten minutes to finish the process. By the time Heero finished, Xu Lingxun was drenched in sweats. His breath also ragged, but the excitement in his eyes could not be concealed.

"Master, Thank you, " The boy stood up and bowed his head gratefully.

Heero waved his hand calmly as he took a bite the apple in his hand, "I told you, I will help with your revenge. Let's do a little test before we go after your enemy!"

He unlocked his smartwatch and sent a file to Xu Lingxun.

Xu Lingxun received the file right away and he opened it. It was a profile of a man and Xu Lingxun did not recognize the man.

"Yan Tie of the Iron Fist Martial House Silver Class Ranker" Xu Lingxun muttered and looked toward his Master.

"Find everything about him!" That was Heero's only command for Xu Lingxun.
