"Would you like to be my disciple?"...
This question seemed somewhat weird to zehan. Normally, a disciple would beg his or her master to teach them but here its complete opposite.
Zehan struggled till now for a little bit of power, authority. But this golden chance has disclosed itself in front of him so how could he refuse. Turning down this old man's request would only be done when someone is a utter fool with no dream or goal and zehan had his goal from the day he eavesdropped in the conversation between the director and the 'Business City'
representative.
"Yes! Please make me your disciple, Master Qin.", zehan shouted without any hesitation in his eyes.
"Ho. Ho. Ho. Boy you a funny guy indeed, OK, let's go to Qianhu mountain where you will start you training."
"But I have to pack my stuff....Hehe....", zehan looked a liitle embarrassed.
" Ho. Ho. Sure boy. Take you time."
"Ok I will come back in a min...", zehan stopped talking as he realized that he was om top of a tower.
" Hey master, can you get me down.", as soon as zehan said this the old man holded his right hand and teleported right next to his liitle street home. Zehan took all his belongings and the small amount of money he earned while working as a labour. Zehan then stood up a said, "I am ready."
"Ho. Ho. Then let's go to Qianhu mountain!"
The old man then waved his hand in the air and suddenly a verticle rift opened in front of them.
Seeing zehan dumbfounded the old man said chuckling, "Nothing to be surprised boy. After training with this master you will also be able to do it."
Then they entered the rift. It was like a another dimension. Within the pitch black tunnel small light particles flew around like a firefly and the big white hole in front seems to be it's source.
After the went through the white hole at the tunnel's end zehan found himself in a whole another place.
He asked the old man, "What is this place master?"
The old man again chuckled and said that they have travelled back to china where Qianhu mountain is situated. Zehan was very surprised as he just realized that they travelled more than 7,000 miles, straight to china from america within just a few seconds!?
But this surprise didn't last long as the old man said, "Now as you have become my disciple you need to know something that will destroy half of the humanity in the coming years."
"What?"....a new surprise struck zehan again.
" Yes, boy. The calamity which will destroy the earth....the tower!?", zehan was frightened as he saw his almighty master shaking.
He didn't understand if it was for fear or.....something else.
"What is 'tower', master?"
Master Qin then turned towards him. It felt awkward for him that the always happy smiling master was dead serious now.
