Chiron thought of many things, but Heracles, who was in a fit of anger, couldn't possibly think that far ahead.

He just wanted to give that arrogant guy a good beating.

In this moment of irrationality, I wouldn't care even if I were killed.

The moment his back hit the ground, his muscles tensed, and he sprang back up like a spring hitting the bottom. He raised his legs and charged at Rovi again.

The clenched fist burned with a tangible magic, and the brilliant blue surged forth like a raging thunderbolt.

In the blink of an eye, in a flash of light, it arrived in front of Rovi.

Whoosh... The wind, mixed with rain, brought a cool sensation to my face.

So Rovi grinned too.

"You think you can touch me with this much power? What about your fists, so devoid of reason and completely corrupted by the blood in your veins?" Rovi dodged.

With just a slight sway of the body, they narrowly missed each other.

He managed to dodge the fist in front, but Heracles, who was leaning forward, simultaneously clenched his other fist and swung it out with a booming motion.

Even when his blood boils and his reason is overwhelmed by anger, this demigod boy still possesses an extremely strong fighting instinct.

One in front and one behind, and it becomes a trap.

If Rovi relaxes his guard even slightly after dodging the first attack, he will be met with a counterattack.

Unfortunately, Rovi Wei never relaxed his efforts from beginning to end.

No, to be more precise—he was never truly prepared for anything from beginning to end.

"Too weak, Heracles!" Raising his hand, his outstretched palm instantly enveloped the incoming fist. The surging magical power, like a mud ox sinking into the sea, collapsed and dissipated in an instant. The immense energy, powerful enough to shatter mountains and split rocks, seemed to be crushed. Rovi simply gently squeezed Heracles' fist, which was far larger than his own outstretched palm, and then... swung it away!

bump--

From fists to arms, then to shoulders, head, chest, and abdomen... Heracles felt as if he had endured more than one attack in that instant.

As Rovi let go, he also plummeted to the ground.

"Hahaha, what can a fist without reason hit? Charging around like a wild boar, it only deserves to gnaw on the mud!"

Rovi was cold and indifferent, and he was ruthless once he gained power.

"Cough cough cough..."

Heracles rolled over and coughed softly.

Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, his once resolute face was now pale and powerless, his eyes were lifeless, and he seemed somewhat lost and dejected... Clearly, he had been pulled out of his rage by Rovi and had regained his senses.

The clouds and mist in the sky gradually dissipated, and only a sliver of the setting sun remained.

"I lost..."

"Loss? Hmph, do you think you deserve the word 'lost'?" Rovi's face showed disdain, and it could be said that he imitated the style of ' Gilgamesh ' to the extreme, "Only in battle can there be victory and defeat, only when the hand is driven by one's own will can it be called battle, and here, can you and I be considered to be fighting?"

"Are you qualified? Do you have the keys? How many keys do you need?"

No—you don't deserve it.

"A wild boar that can only be controlled by its instincts should stay in the mud and root around in the dirt, instead of charging around recklessly."

"You..." Heracles' eyes widened slightly. As the illegitimate son of King of Gods Zeus, he did not like this power, but he could not deny the psychological impact it had on him.

Heracles always believed himself to be powerful, a power that Chiron also acknowledged, a power that even the gods would not be able to contend with.

However, he was defeated, and not only was he defeated miserably, but he was also humiliated in this way.

The anger that had just subsided surged up again, and the blood of the God-King within him surged once more.

He was furious.

"Roar!" The roar that erupted again was as fierce as a wild beast's...

Are you yelling at your mother?

"?"

Heracles was stunned; this was the first time he had ever heard such a direct 'insult'.

"Are you stupid? Hahaha, you can't even handle or understand this kind of talk? Then why are you trying to be a hero? You might as well just live a life of hardship!"

"You..."

"You idiot."

"You..."

"You idiot."

"..." Heracles finally ran out of words.

Chiron, who had been watching the battle from the sidelines, was worried for Heracles, but then fell into a daze.

So... that's how Heracles was woken up by being scolded?

It's important to understand that when Heracles was first brought to him, he frequently went mad due to the blood in his veins. Even now, Chiron primarily tries to appease him through gentle persuasion...

"A grown man like you, how can you be so delicate?"

Rovi scoffed.

He finally realized that it was better to be himself.

Guotong, swearing in Chinese is still the most satisfying!

Heracles was completely stunned, utterly bewildered, and would likely never forget what had happened at this moment.

Rovi then looked at Chiron...

Gurgle.

The centaur Hero Mentor couldn't help but spit, feeling somewhat uneasy.

This virtuous man, he wouldn't hit himself too, would he? Won't he get scolded for it?

Well, he's overthinking it.

"Come, come, Chiron, let's get back to the main topic." Rovi waved his hand, revealing what he thought was a warm smile, though this smile made Chiron tremble slightly, as if he were facing a parent who had just beaten their child.

However, it only lasted for a moment.

The Mentor of Heroes, he himself also possessed the spirit of heroes.

"I want to be a hero, and I hope you can teach me how. I will also call you Teacher Chiron."

You still consider yourself a hero?

Chiron dared not directly suggest that Chiron become a god—a god of the monastic order.

"Although this is our first meeting, you are my guide on the path." He said solemnly, "I should call you 'Grandmaster'."

That doesn't matter.

"From now on, you will call me Founder, and I will call you Teacher. We will each address each other separately and not interfere with each other."

Chiron: "?"

Am I acting strangely, or are you acting strangely?

What does it mean to not interfere with each other?

Looking at Rovi's expression, he didn't know what to say.

Rovi is serious.

He really wanted to be a hero.

"That's settled then, hahaha!" Rovi let out a strange laugh.

In any case, the purpose of coming here has finally been achieved.

They satisfied their craving for words and their craving for actions.

So now, it's time to properly manage his self-destructive endeavors.

"Coo coo coo..." Heracles collapsed to the ground, his body twitched slightly, and then fell silent.

She fainted.

It's not an injury, but rather an overexertion caused by the surge of divine blood within the body. It will recover after a short rest.

However, he was still thinking about what Rovi had just said.

A mindless monster controlled by its own blood?
