[The scene changes to a clear blue sky.]

On the bluestone slabs of the martial arts arena, a seven-year-old child wrestled with a wooden sword, his hair matted to clumps by sweat. "Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-six times..."

[However, this time the child is no longer Jing Yuan. He is the master.]

He stood where Jingliu had stood, watching the little boy swing his sword with all his might, just like he had done back then.

[“Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight… nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine… ten thousand!”]

The young man was sweating profusely, clearly exhausted. "As a Cloud Rider, I must not let my weapons fall off my shoulders and become unfocused."

Familiar words came out of his mouth, and Jing Yuan's mind reappeared with the voice of his master, which made him slightly stunned.

"Yes!" the little fellow responded in a baby voice, and the way he readjusted his stance made Jing Yuan feel a little dazed.

Suddenly, he didn't want the child to grow up so quickly, so he relaxed his tone and joked with the boy, "But you're still too young to be considered a Cloud Rider."

The young man suddenly turned around and said seriously, "I want to be like the general! I want to become a legend on the Immortal Ship!"

Jing Yuan smiled softly: "What's so good about that? This journey hasn't been easy."

"But hasn't the general gradually come to this point?"

Jing Yuan looked at him quietly, without saying a word.

[The setting sun shines through the ginkgo leaves, casting spots of light on his temples.]

A gentle breeze blew, carrying fallen maple leaves across the training grounds, making a rustling sound, as if to crush unfinished sighs into the twilight.

After a while, Jing Yuan smiled again. "Since you're so motivated, why don't we practice?"

"Alright!" The boy and Jing Yuan distanced themselves and took up their positions.

[The two of them were on the training ground, just like Jing Yuan and Jing Liu back then...]

"I won't show mercy!" The young boy's tender voice echoed through the sky...

The world of the Battle of the Two Cities.

Heimerdinger stood by the window, admiring the beauty of the sunset while observing the image on the light screen.

"The inheritance between master and apprentice..." Heimerdinger sighed.

He could see what the little child felt when he turned around and looked at General Jingyuan in a baby voice.

As a Yodel with a long lifespan, Big Head has seen countless students.

Countless students looked at him in the same way.

Jing Yuan must be very distressed.

No matter how successful he is now, he may end up as a demonic being in the future - what's more, this future can only come about after his master becomes a demonic being and steps out.

Heimerdinger could understand Jing Yuan's silence, and also understand why he suddenly changed his tone and said that his apprentice was still young and could not be considered a Cloud Cavalry...

I guess, once he is considered a member of the Cloud Cavalry Army... this kid will kill his comrades with his own hands.

I guess... it's not just one or two... After all, if the people in the fairy boat really have a lifespan of hundreds of years as described in the picture... then they must have witnessed a lot of life and death separations.

Living long is not necessarily a good thing.

Heimerdinger sighed and waited for one of his "outstanding students".

This Jayce... and that Viktor, these two young people really don't know their place!

Thinking about and studying magic every day!

Is this magic so easy to study? Heimerdinger has seen it before. If you don't handle it well, it will be a disaster, not much different from the demonic body!

However, these two people have indeed made some achievements in their research, and I cannot lie to them and suppress their academic enthusiasm...

So Heimerdinger thought that when Piltover celebrates its 200th anniversary, he would let Jayce be the representative to give a speech on Evolution Day!

The teacher has given you face and recommended you. So, shouldn't you listen to the teacher's advice on your research?

At least... let's wait until the research on those Hextech devices and tools is stable?

"Dong...Dong..." The sound of brisk footsteps sounded on the stairs.

"Teacher! What do you want from me?"

Chapter 72 Blade: There are five people and three prices!

【The screen goes dark again.】

【Luofu fairy boat, prison.】

[The sound of "thump...thump..." footsteps echoed on the stone bricks.]

[A man in a black robe walks leisurely towards the light ahead.]

[The pattern of red spider lilies can be vaguely seen on his robe, and his long green hair is divided into two strands, hanging down his back.]

The two Cloud Cavalry soldiers following behind him followed cautiously, their long swords held high, urging the man forward.

[In front of the man, Jing Yuan closed his eyes and stood with his hands behind his back.]

[His disciple, Yan Qing, who vaguely resembled a young man, stood guard over the general.]

"Yanqing."

"Yes, General." Yan Qing's voice was still a little childish, but a little more steady.

"Wait a minute, take a closer look at this person."

Yan Qing turned around and carefully examined the man according to the general's instructions. What kind of serious criminal could have caused the general of Luofu Xianzhou to intervene?

After the man stood still, Jing Yuan said sternly, "...Do you remember me?"

"...Remember!" A hoarse voice uttered from the man's throat. Although the reply was only two short words, anyone could hear the suppressed anger and contempt in the man's tone.

"There are five people, and the price is three..." The man slowly raised his head. His face was sharply defined, as if cut by a knife, but his fiery eyes were chilling!

Yanqing immediately grasped the hilt of his sword to prevent the man from doing anything untoward to the general.

【“···Jing Yuan, you are not one of them.”】

[The man grinned, and the image became distorted and hazy as he smiled...]

[“People have five names…”]

"There are three costs..." In the hazy scene, the man kept muttering as he raised his sword.

The world of One Punch Man.

In a convenience store somewhere, Hungry Wolf was gnawing on a rice ball to satisfy his hunger.

Ever since he had a fight in his master Bang's dojo and seriously injured his fellow disciples, he has been hiding from place to place.

"Eh? Doesn't this Blade have a nice look?"

Seeing this scene suddenly appear on the light screen, Hungry Wolf looked at it carefully.

He had occasionally seen the previous scenes and knew that Jing Yuan was a general of a large organization.

I guess those Cloud Cavalry are similar to the Hero Association, punishing evil and promoting good?

This is the thing that Hungry Wolf disbelieves the most.

In his view, the distinction between good and evil is not so clear.

Sometimes, bad guys are forced to become bad guys.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just the demonic body—no matter how glorious the past years were, if you really get trapped in the demonic body, you will be excluded by your companions...

So, are people who fall into the demonic body bad people? And can those who kill their own companions be considered good people?

Hungry Wolf thought that it would be better to just become a bad guy and resist the hypocritical justice in this world.

In his opinion, this Blade is most likely such a person!

Looking at the murderous aura on his body, as someone who has been practicing martial arts since childhood, Hungry Wolf's feeling is particularly obvious!

With that kind of murderous aura, it's impossible that he hasn't killed hundreds or even thousands of people!

Even with the general, guards, and two soldiers present, the blade's power was undeniable—it was so cool!

Garou feels that maybe Blade is the kind of idol he has always wanted to pursue!

Just when the hungry wolf was feeling excited, "BOOM~~~!"

Hungry Wolf saw people on the street fleeing in all directions. Could it be that another monster invasion had occurred?

"Ha! Just right!"

"I'm going to destroy these weirdos and show people how real bad guys behave!"

·····

The tip of the sword is scarlet and dangerous... The blade is covered with golden cracks, as if the sword will break with the slightest force.

The man's smile grew increasingly sinister and mocking. He thrust his sword forward with the force of his wrist. "You! Are one of them!"

[“Ha…ha~ha!” Dan Heng woke up from his sleep in a cold sweat!]

Dan Heng lay on the bed, panting heavily, beads of sweat dripping onto his hands.

Dan Heng carefully discerned the world before him—he was in his own room on the Starry Sky Train.

This wasn't just my room; it was also the train's data room. Besides my blue bed and the books scattered around me, the only sounds were the gentle hum of recording equipment and computers.

Dan Heng vaguely recalled that he, Xing, Sanyueqi, and the others had completed their expedition to Yaliluo VI and were now heading to their next destination.

[This place couldn't possibly be the Xianzhou prison, and I couldn't possibly have seen that man... I just had this dream again.]

【“Dong Dong…”】

Just as Dan Heng breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to rest, the voices of Sanyueqi and Xing came from outside the door. They urged Dan Heng to go to the carriage and prepare for the train meeting.

[“Wait a moment… I’ll be right there.”]
