Unfortunate Hero's Retirement Life

Zhang Zhong Guang, a Silver Class Hero - Rank 71. He was having better luck in the early days and a bitter life after his father died.

He awakened a decent awakening ability, but he lost his father afterward.

Zhang Man Yu, An Unranked Gold Class Hero was his father. But one day, his father died, murdered in his own martial house.

That was when his bitter life began. His family martial house was forcefully taken by Ming Group. His mother fell sick after his father's death. A series of unfortunate events happened.

The young Zhang Zhong Guang had to take care of his two little sisters and his sick mother. Thanks to his awakening ability, he managed to survive and raised his rank to Silver Class.

He thrived alone, without external help or any force backing him up. With one purpose, to find the culprit of his father's murderer.

Zhang Zhong Guang had a hunch the culprit was Ming Group, but he just did not have evidence backing his conjecture.

To reach his goal, he struggled alone, and then, he realized without a force backing him, revenge was just a fleeting wish.

Until one day, he found an apprentice recruitment notice. A legendary figure who had produced two Emperor Class Heroes despite his young age, Chief Instructor Xing Heero posted a recruitment notice to recruit an apprentice.

That day, the lady luck was on his side. Somehow, he was accepted to be an apprentice and had grown a lot stronger.

Now, he had a chance to perform a mission together with another legendary figure, Sun Zhou Yi the Sword God. It was how people called him, Sword God.

He was excited but also nervous at the same time. His hand trembled slightly, he did not know whether it was caused by excitement or nervousness. He just could not calm down.

"Don't get too nervous or your spear might miss later, " Sun Zhou Yi tapped Zhang Zhong Guang's shoulder.

Yes, that was right, Zhang Zhong Guang was sitting next to Sun Zhou Yi. They were in a chopper, heading toward the interception point.

"Sir Sun, we are almost there!" The pilot informed the squad.

Sun Zhou Yi nodded and took off his safety belt. He stood up and said in a stern tone, "Get ready! Follow my lead and commands, I don't want a mistake to happen during the operation!"

This was the first SES operation. He did not want to disappoint his Master by making a mistake, whether it was him or his squad. He had to be stricter than usual.

After that, he turned toward the seven people from the Purple Mountain Tribe. He repeated the same words but in Dramonia Language. Though not as smooth as Musashi Hirata, his words were still understandable to the Purple Mountain Tribe people.

Yes, the squad was mixed with the Purple Mountain Tribe people. There were only three actual heroes including Sun Zhou Yi.

Zhang Zhong Guang and Ren Anqing, an Unranked Gold Class Hero. Ren Anqing was even more nervous than Zhang Zhong Guang.

'Calm down, Anqing! Don't you make a mistake in your first mission! Don't disappoint Master and Captain! You can do it, Anqing! Make your mother proud of you! Amaze your girlfriend, Anqing!'

The guy was encouraging himself in his way.

A moment later, the pilot informed the squad through the intercom, "Sir Sun, we have arrived at the interception point! I repeat, we have arrived at the interception point!"

At the same time, the gate was opened. The chopper was about 20 meters in their air. As the interception point was in the forestry area, the chopper could only drop the squad in the air.

"Follow me!" Along with his words, he jumped down off the chopper. The seven people of Purple Mountain Tribe followed immediately.

Zhang Zhong Guang and Ren Anqing were the last. They looked at each other, clearly, they were still hesitant to jump.

They were not as brave as Sun Zhou Yi who jumped without hesitation. But they knew they had to jump eventually.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

With a nod, both jumped down together. To avoid injury to their feet, the moment they landed on the ground, both threw their bodies forward, rolling forward and immediately stood up afterward.

They successfully landed on the ground intact. But in return, they received a strange gaze from the seven Purple Mountain Tribe people.

They looked at them with "What are these two idiots doing?" expression.

Even Sun Zhou Yi frowned at the two and reprimanded the two, "Zhong Guang! Anqing! Don't play around, we are still on the mission!"

The two guys looked at each other and smiled wryly. They wanted to say that they were not as abnormal as them, but they knew it would only further embarrass them. So they just accepted their fate being ridiculed by the Purple Mountain Tribe people.

After that, Sun Zhou Yi looked at the target's location, "Follow me!"

He led the squad to a big boulder. He hopped on and pointed a burly man from the Purple Mountain Tribe, "Rasyikh! Get for people with you and split up!"

The man called Rasyikh nodded and brought four people with him.

Sun Zhou Yi looked back on his smartwatch and announced, "Get ready! The guests will arrive in a minute!"

Sure enough, one minute later, the black-cloaked group converged. They were heading toward their direction.

Sun Zhou Yi raised his hand and shouted, "Stop, we are from the Hero League of Star City! Identify yourself!"

The black-cloaked group stopped their advance at Sun Zhou Yi's words. There were three figures standing in the front, the three most likely the leader.

Sun Zhou Yi immediately did a quick calculation on the opposite side.

'62 opponents, get ready to attack at any moment!' Sun Zhou Yi spoke through the intercom.

"Jie Jie Jie, since when this area became the Hero League's territory!" A strange broken voice rang, it was the leader of the black-cloaked group who spoke up.

"Moreover, what if we refuse to identify ourselves? Are you going to kill us?" Another leader spoke in a coarse voice.

"And my advice is you should bring more people if you want to act overbearing next time… Oops, there's no next time for you! Get them!" The third leader motioned his hand to attack Sun Zhou Yi and the other four.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Ten black-cloaked figures charged forward while the others remained on their spots.

"Stay back and wait for my command!" Sun Zhou Yi commanded his squad.

He was still hesitating that the group in front of him was mutant instead of specters. He summoned ten Ki Swords and pinned down the ten figures that rushed toward him.

Instead of blood, black gas gushed out at where the Ki Sword struck them. Without a doubt, the group in front of him was the specters.

Sun Zhou Yi activated his Mystical Eyes, yet to his surprise, his Mystical Eyes failed to locate the specter's core. As he was confused, Rasyikh's voice resounded through the intercom.

"They wear a Ki Concealment Cloak! Our vision is rendered useless by the cloak. We have to tear the cloak first!"

Meanwhile, at the second interception point, Squad 2 under Musashi Hirata's lead also encountered the same issue.

"They wear the Ki Concealment Cloak! It will be hard to kill them without tearing the cloak first!" Lyera informed Musashi Hirata with a grim look.
