The town of Sauron, to which the Kingdom of Gama belongs, is a remote town in the northwest with a population of only a few thousand, under the jurisdiction of Wucheng.

The sky was as blue as a wash, the rising sun was not so dazzling, and there was still a trace of mist in the air, although it was still morning, Xiao Jingchen had already followed his father Sedum to this grove outside Sauron Town.

Every morning and evening, Sedum has to take Xiao Jingchen here to do some training, starting when Xiao Jingchen was just able to walk on his own when he was three years old, and now it has lasted for five years.

"Dad, I'm sure I'll be able to hold on longer today, yesterday I felt like I still had the strength to go, but you didn't let me continue. Xiao Jingchen, who was full of childishness, said, and thought that his father made a grimace, as if he was complaining that Sedum would not let him prove his strength.

Sedum smiled slightly and touched his son's head, "Xiaochen, you remember, it's too much, it's enough to stop,"

"It's too much, enough is enough?" Xiao Jingchen looked at his father with a confused expression.

"The path of cultivation is about perseverance, step by step, and you must not be rash, you know?" Seeing Xiao Jingchen's appearance of understanding or not, Sedum smiled again, "We won't train anymore today, so I'll give you a day off, and I'll take the talent test tomorrow." ”

"Holiday, then dad won't tell you stories, right?" Xiao Jingchen looked at Sedum with a look of hope, listening to Sedum tell some stories about his time in the army after training every day, it was Xiao Jingchen's greatest pleasure, every time he listened, he would have a feeling of enthusiasm, that kind of intense scene, as if he had experienced it himself.

Seeing his son's hopeful expression, Sedum laughed, "Little guy, what's the matter, are you still playing tricks with your father? ”

Hearing Sedum's words, Xiao Jingchen clapped his little hands and smiled happily, "Just listen to the part where Dad fought the Wind Beast!"

"Okay, that's it. Seeing Xiao Jingchen's happy appearance, Sedum raised his hand again and touched his son's head, Xiao Jingchen dodged a few times at the beginning, and finally saw that the dodge was ineffective, so he let his father touch it.

"That's in ......," as Sedum recalls that past.

"Boom!" a loud explosion was heard in the sky.

"What!" Sedum was startled, looking up at the source of the sound.

I saw that not far to the west, more than 100 meters in the sky, a middle-aged man holding a crystal giant sword, and an old man wearing a black ** mage robe were facing each other, the wind in the air was howling, and the clothes of the two were blown to the ground, but both of them were standing straight like javelins.

Stand in the air!

This is the sign of reaching the sixth level of professionalism, and the confrontation between the two at this moment undoubtedly shows the identity of the two.

"Sixth-level powerhouse?" Xiao Jingchen, who was only eight years old, saw this scene, and was completely petrified there, he had been growing up in this remote town in the northwest, when had he seen such a strong man.

"How can there be a sixth-level professional here?" Sedum muttered, his eyebrows slightly locked, his eyes fixed on the two in the sky.

Sedum and Xiao Jingchen were three or four hundred meters away from what the two of them were saying, and they could only see their mouths moving, but no matter how hard Xiao Jingchen tried, he still couldn't hear what the two were saying.

"Dad...... Dad!" Xiao Jingchen shook the sleeves of Sedum, and when he saw that his father ignored him, he increased his strength, and even ripped off the sleeves of Sedum.

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Xiao Jingchen's shaking finally woke Sedum from his contemplation.

"Dad, I can't hear what they're saying. Xiao Jingchen looked at Sedum pitifully, how pitiful and pitiful it was.

"Alas" Seeing Xiao Jingchen's appearance, Sedum also shook his head, "They didn't say anything, it was just because some things were unevenly divided, and there was a bit of conflict." Sedum said casually.

"Ah!?" Hearing Sedum's words, Xiao Jingchen was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, "Dad, can you actually hear what they say? Why can't I hear it!" The hand that shook Sedum's sleeve not only did not stop, but also shook harder.

Sedum frowned, and after separating Xiao Jingchen's hand from his sleeve, he said to Xiao Jingchen, "When you become strong in the future, you will naturally be able to hear it." ”

"Oh!" Looking at Sedum's already somewhat gloomy face, Xiao Jingchen didn't dare to be too presumptuous, although Sedum didn't hit him, but in the bottom of every child's heart, there will be more or less fear of his father.

Seeing that his father didn't mean to say anything to him again, Xiao Jingchen pursed his lips and cast his gaze into the air again.

"Wannong, since you insist on this, then don't blame me. I could only hear a cold voice, I couldn't tell where it came from, but the tone was very cold.

"Dien, you don't have to mess around there, you and I got the things together, even if you said it at the beginning, whoever can use it belongs to whom, but you can't let me be busy in vain!" The middle-aged man holding the crystal greatsword shouted angrily.

The black-robed magician Di En didn't say much, and with a wave of his right hand, he saw a black mang, like a poisonous mist, covering the middle-aged man Wan Nong, Wan Nong did not show weakness, and with a wave of the crystal giant sword in his hand, a dazzling red light slashed, and when it touched the black mang, the black light melted like ice and snow.

"Hum!" a sword roared.

I saw that Na Wan Nong was unforgiving, waved the crystal giant sword in his hand, and slashed at the distance of more than ten meters between the two with a flash of fire, and slashed towards Emperor En.

As if he didn't see the crystal giant sword with a dazzling red glow, his eyes were slightly closed, and he stood there motionless, his lips moving slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

"Is this a sword qi? such a long sword qi?" Xiao Jingchen muttered, this kind of legendary eighth-level powerhouse can only have, he has only heard it in the story told by Sedum, but the power of easily strangling the seventh-level demonic beast left too deep an impression on Xiao Jingchen's mind.

Sedum smiled slightly and patted his son's little head, "Silly boy, how can there be such a long sword qi, even an epic-level powerhouse cannot have such a long sword qi, not to mention that person is just a sixth-level Cloud Piercing Demon Sword, that red mang is just a skill of the demon swordsman, called elemental condensation, you see that the long sword with the red mang, is actually condensed by the magic element, not the sword qi transformed by the fighting spirit." ”

"Ahh Hearing that it was not sword qi, Xiao Jingchen was slightly disappointed.

"Little guy, don't be disappointed, that sword qi is the hallmark of a strong person at the grandmaster level, not something that can be seen casually. Pinching his son's little face, Sedum smiled and continued, "Don't be dissatisfied, many people have never seen a sixth-level powerhouse in their lives, and you saw two at a young age, and you should be satisfied." ”

After listening to Sedum's words, Xiao Jingchen's mouth kept pursing, "What are they, they must not be as strong as Dad, hum." After speaking, he glanced at the two people fighting in the air with disdain.

"Oh, how can you see it?" Hearing Xiao Jingchen's words, Sedum was slightly stunned.

"If they're better than Dad, why can you hear what they say and they can't hear what we say?" Xiao Jingchen shook his little head and said smugly, hearing this, Sedum smiled and shook his head, and didn't explain much, just hugged Jingchen's little face into his arms and rubbed his son's little face with his own face.

"Dad, you're bad, your beard is stuck in someone's house. Pushing away his father's face, Xiao Jingchen shouted disobediently, Sedum smiled slightly, and patted Xiao Jingchen's head with his hand.

"Bang bang bang ......bang" A loud bang came from the sky, and the two looked up, only to see layers of bone shields appear on Na Dien's head, and the red dazzling crystal giant sword slashed on the bone shield, and the bone shield burst one by one, until the ninth bone shield was broken, the sword light stopped the pace of progress.

And the magic of Na Dien seemed to have been completed, and I saw a space in the sky that alternated light and dark, and it actually enveloped Wan Nong in it.

Seeing that Wan Nong was actually covered by his own magic, Dien sneered, "If you want to fight me, you are still very tender." Just as he was about to turn away.

"Boom!"

I saw that the space that had originally enveloped Wan Nong in it was shattered like that, and the shock wave in the air spread out in all directions at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Not good!" Seeing this scene, Sedum shouted, picked up Xiao Jingchen and flew into the distance.

Seeing that his father could fly, Xiao Jingchen's mouth couldn't close in surprise, "Dad, you can fly too?"

"You all said that my father must be stronger than them, and flying is a sign of a sixth-level powerhouse, how can I not fly?" Sedum smiled a little helplessly, his own ability seemed to be exposed.

"Ahh

"You two are so presumptuous!" Although the sound was not loud in Xiao Jingchen's ears, he saw that the two of them shook at the same time, and almost fell from the air.

"Who?" the two shouted at the same time, their voices trembling a little, and when they swept their eyes around, they found the sedum standing quietly in the air and still holding Xiao Jingchen in his arms.

Seeing the two of them looking at each other, Sedum snorted coldly again, "I don't care what grudges you have, leave this place quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless." There was a cold murderous aura in his voice, Xiao Jingchen saw it in his eyes, and there was an inexplicable excitement in his heart, today, he suddenly found that his father was such a powerful powerhouse.

"Who are you?" After all, Emperor En is older, and he has seen a lot more in the market than Nawannong, although he doesn't know the big man holding the child in front of him, but the kind of murderous aura that emanates from his body makes him tremble, and he thinks that this big man will not be a nameless person.

Ignoring Dien's questioning, Sedum took out a blood-red giant axe out of nowhere.

"Blood Axe Warrior?!" Na Wannong was stunned when he saw Sedum's weapon, and then looked at Sedum with a look of surprise.

"Get out!" Sedum didn't have the idea of saying anything more to the two, and he only heard his voice echoing throughout the space.

Seeing this scene, as well as the pale red fighting spirit rising from Sedum's body, Emperor En didn't look back, he just left, Wan Nong saw that Emperor En walked so simply, he didn't have time to think about it, he followed behind, and secretly said in his heart, the name of this blood axe warrior has been silent for so many years, but he didn't expect to live in seclusion here.

Seeing the two of them go away until they disappeared from sight, Sedum put away the blood-colored giant axe in his hand.

"Let's go home and tell the story. ”

"Oh......" Although he was reluctant, Xiao Jingchen still followed his father and walked home.

"Strong, I want to be as strong as my father!" Looking at his father's solid back, Jingchen thought silently in his heart, for the first time in his young heart, he was so eager for tomorrow's talent test, eager to become a strong man.

Early the next morning.

"Dad, what does the talent test look like?" Xiao Jingchen held his father Sedum with his right hand and his mother Yuelu with his left hand, walking on the stone road leading to the auditorium, although it was still early in the morning, but there were already many people on the road, today was the day of the annual talent test, and all the parents' faces were full of anticipation, and those children's faces were more curious.

Touching his son's head, Sedum said with a smile, "This talent test is mainly divided into two parts, the first is the affinity test, also known as the entry test, such as today's three major professional systems, warrior department, mage department and auxiliary department, warrior department major in fighting spirit, mage department major in magic power, and that auxiliary department is major in spiritual power, this first part is to test which affinity you have with these three energies." ”

"Oh, that's the case, what about the second part?" Although he didn't understand very well, Xiao Jingchen continued to ask.

"Each career system contains several majors, the second part of the test, is naturally to test which major you are suitable for, of course, you can choose your own, you can also test one by one, but generally speaking, the child's talent is mostly related to the talent of the parents, and the situation that the child is not good at the talent is still relatively rare, in a word, the talent is mainly based on genetics. Sedum smiled and concluded.

"Then what are the occupations of dad and mom?" At this moment, Xiao Jingchen looked at his parents expectantly, since as Sedum said, talent is hereditary, then his future career is likely to be one of the two parents.

"Well, I'm a berserker, and the weapon is the blood axe you saw yesterday, and as for your mother, she's a singer. Sedum said casually.

"Singer?" Xiao Jingchen heard of this profession for the first time.

"It's singing. Sedum looked at Yuelu with a wicked smile and said something that made Xiao Jingchen even more confused.

"It's not serious. Yuelu slapped her husband, who was funny at her, and said to Xiao Jingchen, "Don't listen to your father, singer is a kind of auxiliary profession, majoring in spiritual power, and relying on singing skills to attach buffs or debuffs to the target." ”

"That's not still singing. Sedum interjected on the side, but seeing his wife's slightly threatening eyes, the urge to continue was forcibly stopped.

"Oh, then I'm going to be a berserker like my father, how handsome a berserker is. Xiao Jingchen looked at Sedum with starry eyes, seeing that his son admired himself so much, Sedum was also secretly happy, he originally wanted his son to choose the same career as himself, Xiao Jingchen said this, just as he wanted.

"Alas!" Hearing Xiao Jingchen's words, Yuelu sighed softly for some reason.

In a short time, the family had already arrived in the square in front of the auditorium, where at most a few parents with their children were ready to take the test, their expressions were more or less nervous, and on the other hand, most of the children were not nervous at all, gathering together in twos and threes, playing with each other.

These children don't understand the meaning of this talent test for them, but as parents who have come before, they know very well that if they pass this test and have a certain potential, they can not only go to various magic martial arts academies for further study, but also get a good job in the city or the army in the future, which is already their greatest expectation for the residents of this remote town in the northwest.

On the other hand, if these children do not have the potential to become a combat profession, they can only do some ordinary work, most of them will be the same as their parents, and finally die in the town, not to mention living in the city, even if they want to enter the city once, it is very difficult, of course, they can also choose to let their children go to those schools that teach obscure knowledge, where these children will learn a series of academic knowledge such as building mechanics, metallurgy, etc., if they learn well, they can also get ahead in the future, but, not to mention whether they can learn well, unlike those who graduate from the Demon Martial Arts Academy, most of them can find a good job, many children who have graduated from the academy can get a good job for various reasons, still unable to find a satisfying job, in the end can only continue to return to the town to live with their parents, over time, few people here are willing to send their children to school.

At this moment, the sun has gradually risen, and the sunlight is shining all over the square in front of the auditorium.

I saw that the door of the auditorium slowly opened to both sides, and an old man walked out, looking about sixty years old, with a lot of wrinkles on his face, but his eyes were not as cloudy as ordinary sixty-year-old people, but gave people a sense of transparency, he was the mayor of this Sauron Town.

"Parents who are accompanying their children are asked to line up, the talent test will start soon. "Although the mayor is not young, he is full of energy, and everyone in this small square can hear what he shouted.

Seeing that everyone was lined up, several young people standing behind the old man maintained order in the line, and arranged for the children and parents who were going to take the test to enter the auditorium.

Xiao Jingchen's family came relatively early, and naturally they were the first to enter it.

I saw that the auditorium at this moment was mainly divided into three parts, most of the people on the left side were wearing magician robes, most of the people on the right side were wearing tight-fitting suits, and the group of people in the middle were dressed in full costumes, no matter how they looked like they were coming to take a talent test, but more like attending a ball held by a nobleman.

"These three parts are the warrior system, the mage department and the auxiliary system, you see those people in the middle of the costume, they are all testers of the auxiliary system, in our continent, the auxiliary system is the most popular, especially in a large-scale war, an auxiliary system powerhouse can even complete a reversal, but there are people with the talent of the auxiliary system, it is too rare. Yuelu explained to Xiao Jingchen.

"Is that mother a strong person?" Xiao Jingchen looked at Yuelu, after all, he was still a child, all he cared about was whether his parents were strong, as for how strong the profession was, it was not what he wanted to care about.

Yuelu smiled slightly, "Sort of." ”

"Is Mom as strong as Dad?" asked Xiao Jingchen with a happy smile on his face.

"You kid, do you want to provoke the relationship between me and your mother again?" Hearing Xiao Jingchen's words, Sedum gave his son a burst of thought.

"I'm just asking!" Xiao Jingchen covered his head and said aggrievedly, that pitiful appearance, as if Sedum had done something to him.

"Why are you beating children!" Seeing Xiao Jingchen's appearance, Yuelu hammered Sedum.

"Okay, I'm not going to hit him, let's test it quickly. Sedum said to Yuelu.

The two pulled Xiao Jingchen to the place where the affinity test of the warrior department was tested, and they saw that there were five tables here, and a colorless and transparent crystal ball was placed on each table, and the children who came to the talent test only needed to put their hands on the crystal ball.

"There are three levels of this affinity test, low, intermediate and advanced, which correspond to the colors of the crystal ball as yellow, red and blue, and each level is divided into beginner, intermediate and high. Sedum explained.

"Oh" Xiao Jingchen responded, then walked over, stretched out his right hand and put it on the crystal ball in front of him, all his attention was focused on the crystal ball, and in an instant, a deep red light lit up, "Intermediate high-level." The middle-aged man sitting behind the desk immediately came from a burst of exclamation, for some cities, this may not be nothing, but in a place like Sauron Town, where only so many children are qualified to go to the most basic academy every year, this kind of affinity is already very good, but at that moment, a trace of disappointment flashed in Sedum's eyes, but it immediately disappeared from the bottom of his eyes.

"Dad, my fighting affinity is an intermediate and high-level yes!" Xiao Jingchen took Sedum's big hand and said excitedly.

"Well, Daddy saw it, yes, let's go test your potential in the Berserker profession. Sedum took Xiao Jingchen's hand and walked towards the place where the berserker's talent was tested.

"Big brother?" Just at the stall where Sedum had just turned around, a voice came from behind, hearing this voice, Sedum was slightly stunned, and turned his head to look at the source of the sound.

"Linzi?" Looking at the red-faced man in front of him, Sedum was a little puzzled.

"Yes, big brother, I'm Lin Zi. When the big man heard Sedum call out his name, he rushed over excitedly and looked at Sedum in a daze.

"It's really you? Linzi, that's great. Sedum saw the big man rushing in front of him, and he also let go of the hand holding Xiao Jingchen and hugged the big man bear.

"Big brother, why did you come to this Sauron Town?" After a long time, the two big men separated, and the big man who was called Lin Zi by Sedum asked.

"Hehe, it's hard to say, by the way, why did you come here?" Sedum smiled bitterly and diverted the topic.

Seeing that Sedum didn't want to mention it, the big man didn't ask much, "It just so happened that it was our legion's turn to be on an errand in Wucheng this year, and I heard that I was organizing a talent test, and I didn't have anything to do in Wucheng, so I came over." The big man scratched his head and said with a smile.

"Our two brothers haven't seen each other for too long, and we were in ......a hurry back then," Sedum didn't continue.

Seeing the trace of sadness flashing on Sedum's face, Dahan was also stunned, then sighed, turned his head and saw Xiao Jingchen standing beside Sedum, "Big brother, is this your son?" said, pointing at Xiao Jingchen.

"Well, yes, I just took him to the talent test today. Sedum smiled, mentioning his precious son, the unhappiness just now was also diluted a lot.

"I'm eight years old in a flash, big brother, today you and my brother are reunited, no matter how you say it, you don't have to get drunk and have no home. The big man touched Xiao Jingchen's head, and Xiao Jingchen didn't dodge obediently.

"Well, okay!" Sedum nodded, "Come, let me introduce you, this is your sister-in-law, Yuelu." Sedum took his wife's hand and introduced it to the big man.

"Sister-in-law, what is the use of the little brother in the future, just say, on the battlefield back then, the eldest brother took care of me, and my Lin Ba's life was saved by the eldest brother. The big man patted his chest and said very boldly.

"My own brother, what are you talking about, I'll take this kid to test his potential first, and when this side is dispersed, we'll get together again. Sedum patted Lin Ba on the shoulder and smiled.

"Okay, we'll have to get together this time. Dahan laughed.

The moment he turned around, Xiao Jingchen saw that his parents' brows were slightly wrinkled, as if he was a little sad, and he didn't know why he also followed his parents' example and wrinkled his lovely eyebrows.
