Chapter 20: The Hidden Crisis
"I've always heard about you in rumors. They all said, "You're very talented and you're very strong." Qi Qi suddenly said to He Xi one day.
"That's an exaggeration, I just spent a little more time practicing. He Xi responded. He was a little puzzled now, after the explosion, not only Mu Yinxiu had met with him, but now even this master-level mentor had invited him to meet alone. He Xi knew that he was Meng Yao's mentor, but he didn't understand what it had to do with him.
"Young warrior, what do you think of magic, can a warrior defeat a mage?" asked Poor Strange.
He Xi shrugged his shoulders and replied with a smile: "In battle, everyone has their own role, and I can't tell which side will have the advantage." ”
"So do you think you can defeat a division? For example, I! I heard that you have been the first in your class for nine years in a row, and every year you have been at the top of your class, and many of the warrior instructors in the school can't beat you. Qi Qi said.
When He Xi was about to refuse Qi Qi's invitation to fight, Qi Qi had already taken out a slender staff and quickly shot a few thunderbolts at He Xi.
In the face of Qiqi's attack, He Xi did not fight back recklessly, but just dodged again and again. His heart was full of doubts, as if he had said something wrong. But the master was like a pill, and the attacks went on and on, and the attacks became more and more ruthless, until the magic flames knocked down a tree in the courtyard.
"I see how long you can hide, do you think it's a joke, stupid Shadowmist. Do you know who I am!" Poor Qi shot another bolt of lightning from his staff, and roared.
Hearing the other party insulting his family, He Xiyi stood up, and the two scimitars were unsheathed at the same time. But he still didn't understand what the master was thinking, and he tried to guess if this would be a test for him by the academy, and whether he should make a move.
Just when He Xi was still thinking about whether to make a move, a black object collided with the master at an extremely fast speed, and flew several meters at once. Poor Qi tries to break free, but finds that he has been trampled under a black dragon.
Now He Xi was even more confused, he really didn't understand what was going on now.
"Hei Yan, that's enough! A voice sounded behind him. He Xi's gaze swept over the master on the ground and the black dragon that was not too big, and saw Meng Yao slowly walking towards them.
The black dragon obediently let go of his claws and flew to Meng Yao's side. At this time, He Xi realized that this black dragon should be underage, and it was only the size of two adults in front of him. You know, an adult dragon can grow to more than twenty times the size of the current one.
"This is my summoned beast. Meng Yao explained with a fascinated look on He Xi's face.
"Where did you find this guy, it's a dragon!" He Xi asked.
"Summoned from the other world by magic, our world dragon is a rare species, but that doesn't mean it's the same in other worlds. Meng Yao replied again and again, casting the formation to let the black dragon walk in. With a flash of light, the black dragon vanished.
"You go first, I'll explain to you today's events when the time comes, and then let you look at you again and then look at my black flame by the way. For He Xi, who was intoxicated by the unique charm of the black dragon, although he was full of doubts, he left decisively when he heard that he could see the black dragon again. Because in comparison, it is obvious that the master is more attractive to him than the black dragon.
"What the hell do you think, do you know that you are very stupid to do this today, even if you succeed in killing him just now? Meng Yao yelled at Qi Qi after He Xi left.
"I was so impulsive, and when he was invited to come to me, I didn't want to do it. But as soon as I saw him, and saw a prince of the Shadow Mist Clan standing in front of me, I remembered that I was the only one left in my family, and I could no longer control my emotions. Qi Qi said gloomily.
"I can understand that, but you have to restrain your emotions. Otherwise, not only will your hatred and I not be able to help you, but when the time comes, I may have to help the academy kill you for the sake of the family's face. After all, he still didn't choose to practice magic, and he would be able to graduate soon, and he would definitely join the trial team when the time came. Meng Yao said lightly.
"Then what should I do?" asked Qiqi.
"Honestly waiting for news from me, he will definitely be with my team when the time comes. Out of the academy, are you afraid that you won't have a chance to do it? And you can see that he is very fascinated by my black dragon. Meng Yao replied with a smile.
"You'd better be careful, I think he's very strong! and use the black dragon as a gift to make him let his guard down, it won't be too much price for you. Qi Qi said.
Meng Yao suddenly laughed: "I know he is very strong, but who would have thought that his pet would attack his owner, hahaha!"
Seeing Meng Yao's evil and weird smile at this time, the poor wizard reacted. Women, playing with their hearts, men are nothing. Thinking of this, his heart couldn't help but tremble.
He Xi has completed all the warrior courses in the swamp academy in accordance with the regulations, and has also received the highest honors and appreciation in the grade. Although the Swamp Academy informed him that he was extremely talented in magic and could choose to continue practicing magic in the academy, He Xi, who was tired of campus life, gave up decisively after thinking about it for a while.
He Xi turned around, glanced at the gate of the Swamp Academy, was silent for a moment, and sighed lightly, this place he had stayed in for a whole ten years, and he would soon be able to get rid of it completely. Thinking about the past ten years, I am confused about the future. But as soon as he thought of the upcoming assessment, He Xi came to his senses, kicked his left leg, and directly floated into the air, flying in the direction of Shadow Mist City.
The distance between the Swamp Academy and Shadow Mist City was not short, but for He Xi, who had been cultivating and studying in the academy for ten years, this distance was as short as when he came. Because, now he is stronger and faster!
Not long after, He Xi landed not far from Shadow Mist City. Walking into the city gate, He Xi looked up at the huge three big words "Shadow Mist City" on the city gate, couldn't help but stop, looked at the familiar street at the city gate, exhaled lightly, and whispered to himself: "Shadow Mist City, that former little kid, I'm back!"
After passing through a few streets, he walked through the ornately decorated gates of the Shadow Mist Palace, and finally came to the training ground, attracting the attention of many family members. "I'm home!" he shouted. After ten years of college life, He Xi doubted whether the people in his family would still recognize him after he grew up.
"It's good you're home. Blood Dance's voice with enchanting power came from above He Xi's head.
He Xi stood on the training ground and looked up. Under the light of the red sun of the demon world, his sister Blood Dance was lazily leaning on the instruction platform. The slender hand played with the poisonous snake on his body wantonly. From He Xi's point of view, Blood Dance's almost perfect figure can be seen at a glance.
"Hello, Prince Ho Xi. We've heard about your performance at the Swamp Academy, and Mother is very satisfied, so let's go see her now. Blood Dance's requiem-like voice sounded again, and then before He Xi could answer, he put away the poisonous snake in his hand and walked in the direction of his mother's room.
The day after seeing his mother, He Xi spent most of his time resting in his room. He deliberately wanted to avoid Jun Mo, and at this time, He Xi didn't know what mentality he would face him with. Because in He Xi's heart, Junmo used to be so perfect, humorous, kind, and had superb combat skills. The concentration of these characteristics in the same person is rare in the evil world in which they live.
However, what He Xi can't tolerate is. Thirty years ago, in the incident of the destruction of the Ghost Tiger Clan, Jun Mo turned out to be one of the participants. Moreover, in that battle, they didn't even let go of the children of the Ghost Tiger Clan.
The door in the room suddenly opened, and Blood Dance stood in the doorway and said, "Mother-sama called you to the conference hall. With that, he left without a moment's pause.
When He Xi came to the conference hall, he felt a little puzzled, Heavenly Soul, Blood Dance, Netherworld, and Jun Mo were all standing in front of his mother as usual. However, I don't know when the dream of painting, who has become a tutor in the academy, will return. Moreover, there was Ling Feng of Wind Sand City standing beside her.
"It's all here, it's good. I'm sure you've all heard the news that someone is going to attack our Shadowfog City recently. Condensation said.
"Well, I've heard about it, but I don't know which family could be so bold. There is actually the courage to want to deal with us, what is the reason. Blooddance said, playing with the viper in his hand.
"When I was born, didn't our family also wipe out another family for no reason, even the children. He Xi said mockingly.
"Did you make a fool of you after ten years in the academy, or did you think that your grades in the academy made you feel like you could talk to your elders?" said Condensation angrily, very angry at his son's lack of seriousness.
"Shadow Mist City is currently ranked ninth, but at present, even the top-ranked families will not dare to attack you easily, not only is it not beneficial, but it is not so easy to defeat you. Those who are at the bottom of the rankings are even more unlikely. So I personally think that in the rumors, our two families were not clean enough, and the possibility that people are coming back to seek revenge is higher.
"Hehe, I'll make the family with that idea regret their decision!" Condensation smiled weirdly.
From beginning to end, Jun Mo stood quietly in place without expressing any opinions, and there was no expression on his face, as if the things talked about by the people present had nothing to do with him. After condensing arranged the relevant matters, Jun Mo didn't have any intention of staying or wanting to see He Xi, turned around and disappeared in the eyes of everyone.
