Chapter 130 Hero Ranger
Zhong Mengfan was shocked when he heard this news. He couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't Night Demon become a Ranger?"
Fei Dun shook his head. "I'm not too sure about the specifics. Perhaps it's because psychics are so special, or maybe it's because he no longer had any interest in professional heroes at that time." In short, Night Demon didn't inherit the Ranger's legacy.
Not long after that, he began to focus on providing spiritual counseling for people with special abilities. It wasn't until you appeared that he changed his identity again and became the A-rank hero Night Demon again.
Fei Dun looked at Zhong Mengfan and said, "So, I feel very sorry."
Zhong Mengfan: "Hmm"
"Night Demon is a professional hero with more experience and is better than you. He would be more suitable to be the Ranger." He said this as if it was a verdict.
Unexpectedly, Zhong Mengfan said, "I think so too."
It was Fei Dun's turn to look puzzled.
Zhong Mengfan smiled. "Like Mr. Fei Dun, I think Night Demon is a truly powerful and wonderful superhero. I consider myself very lucky to have met Night Demon and become his disciple. So, I don't want to disappoint him."
Fei Dun raised his eyebrows but said nothing.
Zhong Mengfan stretched his joints slightly. "Thank you, Mr. Feidun. You spoke to me for so long because I was injured. However, we are still in the hero promotion exam."
"Oh" Fei Dun uttered a single sound "Do you think you can defeat me?"
Zhong Mengfan shook his head. "The rules of the promotion match don't require me to defeat you. Instead, they require me to demonstrate my potential and strength as a professional hero and gain your recognition."
Fei Dun acted nonchalant. "You said you wanted to show your potential and strength, but after our fight just now, I've pretty much figured out your capabilities."
"But I haven't tried my best yet. I know Mr. Fei Dun is a speed-type esper, and I've anticipated how I can withstand your high-speed attacks. Our previous encounter gave me a true sense of the power of Mr. Fei Dun's high-speed attacks."
Regarding his flying ability, Zhong Mengfan realized he could manipulate air currents. He concentrated his mental energy to maximize his perception of the air currents within his control. By sensing the changes in air currents, he could predict the direction of flying attacks. Even if he couldn't dodge all quick attacks, he could reduce the chances of being hit in vital areas.
Then, find the right time to attack and counterattack.
Fei Dun glanced at Zhong Mengfan in surprise and said, "So you were just testing my attack power."
Zhong Mengfan unleashed his own special ability, and a wind transformed from it blew around him. His eyes were determined. "I want to be a ranger, and I must become one. Mr. Feidun, now, please take a look at my special ability - the heart of justice."
A huge and violent tornado blew up in the martial arts arena, emitting astonishing destructive power wherever it went.
When the wind died down, Zhong Mengfan was gasping for breath, with fist wounds of varying degrees all over his body.
Fei Dun, who was standing on the other side of the martial arts field, was also in a miserable state. His upper combat uniform was shredded by the tornado, and he also had some minor and large non-fatal injuries on his body.
Fei Dun slowly wiped the bloodstains on his face from the tornado and said to Zhong Mengfan, "S-class psychics are known as extraordinary humans who have entered the realm of gods. Although Youxia is the most famous S-class legendary hero, widely recognized by ordinary people and the public, he is only called an artificial god among the S-class."
Finally, Fei Dun concluded, "'Ranger' is a shortcut."
He gave Zhong Mengfan a positive evaluation, "Although it is not an ability that originally belonged to you, you have used the ranger's ability of justice very well." However, his tone of voice continued his usual tone, which was not very pleasant.
Zhong Mengfan did not doubt his own ability because of Fei Dun's long speech. He smiled and said, "Mr. Fei Dun, are you acknowledging my strength?"
Fei Dun looked at Zhong Mengfan with a scrutinizing gaze. "You seem to be a complete optimist."
Then he nodded and said, "I admit that you have the qualifications to become an A-class hero."
Even though he was covered in wounds, Zhong Mengfan still laughed happily after receiving Fei Dun's recognition. He covered his wounds, which were affected by his emotional ups and downs, with his hands. "Thank you, Mr. Fei Dun. I am very happy to receive your recognition. This battle has also benefited me a lot."
"Don't be too happy too soon, I haven't finished what I want to say."
Fei Dun continued, "You should know that I showed mercy to you."
Zhong Mengfan nodded. "Yes, if Mr. Fei Dun had fought me with all his strength, I would not be able to stand up now. There is still a huge gap in strength between you and me."
"Each generation of Rangers seeks a successor from among the carefully selected A-class heroes. The Ranger's ability, the Heart of Justice, is inherited, and only then is promoted to the ranks of S-class esper. This advancement is not based on one's own strength, and you are an unexpected surprise. As an ordinary person, you have obtained the Ranger ability that was not originally yours."
Fei Dun asked Xiang Zhong Mengfan in a tone that was half questioning and half asking, "Have you ever thought about your future?"
"What"
He posed a hypothetical question to Zhong Mengfan: "Perhaps you've worked tirelessly and finally reached S-rank, becoming a legendary hero. But eventually, other S-rank psychics who are at the same level as you and who understand the Ranger Inheritance System might also consider you a false god who's taken shortcuts, questioning you and deeming you unworthy of being on their level."
Zhong Mengfan said, "I'm very grateful to Mr. Youxia for giving me this unexpected opportunity to change my fate. This has allowed me to become a better person, and I'm lucky enough to have a life I could never have imagined."
At this point, Zhong Mengfan thought of Wen Xiaye. If he were just an ordinary person, there would be no way he would have met Wen Xiaye. If he couldn't inherit the ranger's legacy and become an even more powerful legendary hero, he would have let down Wen Xiaye's teachings.
He had been trained by Wen Xiaye when he had no idea what it meant to be a psychic or a professional hero. He was being pushed and dragged forward unilaterally. Even now, after encountering all sorts of psychics and professional heroes and completing countless missions, Zhong Mengfan couldn't guarantee that his choices were always the right ones when it came to being a professional hero or defending justice.
But he was very clear about one thing.
He wanted to be a professional hero who could better match the Night Devil.
So, Zhong Mengfan said in a more determined tone, "I will still work harder and do my best. Even if I may be questioned, I still want to inherit the Ranger and become an S-class hero. I want those who care about me and whom I care about to recognize me and watch me become a Ranger."
Fei Dun looked at Zhong Mengfan but thought of another person. "My brother, after becoming a ranger, became very concerned about the eyes and opinions of those around him. He has always wanted to achieve something that previous generations of rangers have failed to do, and capture Wu Se, the leader of the chameleons."
"Perhaps in the future, you can fulfill his legacy."
Fei Dun extended his hand to Zhong Mengfan and said, "Congratulations on your promotion to an A-rank hero. Let me introduce myself again. I'm Fei Dun, an A-rank hero like you."
Zhong Mengfan shook Feidun's hand and said, "Thank you for your affirmation, Mr. Feidun."
Equipment R&D Department
Zhong Mengfan sat on a lounge chair, checking the wounds on his body from the battle with Fei Dun.
As his abilities grew stronger, his self-healing abilities also improved. After a few hours of recuperation, the wounds that had previously been bleeding had scabbed over. The initial redness and swelling from the punches he received from Fei Dun had also subsided, leaving only traces of bruises and no pain at all.
Zhong Mengfan clenched his fists, still feeling incredible about his current body. He had heard that many people with the strongest healing powers could regenerate severed limbs and were close to immortality.
Can I do this to this extent now?
"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Mr. Link." The man's voice interrupted Zhong Mengfan's thoughts. There was an imperceptible submissiveness in his voice towards a strong man.
Zhong Mengfan shook his head and said, "No, it was just a last-minute thought. Sorry to bother you, Minister Lin, for coming so suddenly to ask if the new combat uniform is ready."
Director Lin, who was in charge of the R&D department, opened the briefcase and showed it to Zhong Mengfan. "The Ranger combat uniform has always been the top priority of the R&D department. It is an honor for all of us to be able to participate in its design and manufacturing."
Zhong Mengfan looked down at the combat uniform placed in the suitcase and said, "I want to use it now."
After fighting with Fei Dun, he seemed to have more sufficient reasons to become a ranger.
Zhong Mengfan's first thought was to ask Wen Xiaye if he was, as he thought, qualified to become a Ranger. But the moment he pulled out his communicator, he hesitated—this was a matter for him to decide.
He wanted to be Ye Mo's most reliable and trustworthy partner, and he wanted to be a partner that Wen Xiaye could rely on.
He also wants to go beyond A-class and become an S-class hero in the future.
Minister Lin gestured for invitation. "It was originally yours."
"Thank you." Without hesitation, Zhong Mengfan took out the ranger combat uniform with the ranger mark from the box. The uniform was completely different from the style worn by the previous generation of rangers and put the mask on his face.
This is his combat uniform.
Zhong Mengfan left the R&D department wearing this new combat uniform, which of course attracted other people's attention on the way, because the Ranger had not appeared in the public eye for a long time.
The communicator beeped, signaling a text message from his lover. A smile crossed Zhong Mengfan's face, his mood growing even more cheerful. He quickened his pace toward the headquarters lobby, then, having reached his destination, slowed down, taking a closer look at himself in his new combat uniform through the reflection in the window. He straightened slightly and continued on his way.
When he saw that person, he looked slightly surprised.
Zhong Mengfan quickly asked "How?"
Then he heard the words he wanted to hear most, "Suits you very well, Hero Ranger."
