Chapter 8: Rites of Passage
Chapter 8: Rite of Passage!
He Xi was dressed handsomely, standing in the training ground of Shadow Mist City seriously, after hearing her mother's call, she no longer needed her sister's nightmarish whip, and in an instant, she flew to the main hall of the city and walked to her side.
"Do you know what a special day it is?" asked Condensation as he stood in front of the Shadowmist City Lord Throne.
"Yes, my sister told me. He Xi replied, and then subconsciously rubbed his fingers behind him, because he knew how strict his mother was, for fear that he would say a wrong word.
"Sixteen years, sixteen years since you came to Shadowfog City, an important period of your life has passed. Condensation said to He Xi.
He Xi didn't have too many expressions, and he didn't feel that there was any difference between seeing his mother today and usually, he only knew that from the time he was sensible to the time he was sixteen years old now, his daily life had hardly changed, studying, cultivating, being scolded, and being punished. Over the years, his mother has not spent much time with him, and every time they meet, the tone and face of the person they talk are no different from those now.
"Look at me. Condensation commanded.
He Xi was a little overwhelmed, nervous and didn't dare to look directly at his mother, and made contact with the condensed eyes for a moment, and lowered his head timidly.
"Look at me, you are no longer a child, the days when you studied with your sister have passed, you are now officially the prince of our Shadow Mist City, your future may be a demon king, or an archmage, or a demon general! If you disgrace our Shadow Mist Clan, then I will definitely destroy you with my own hands!"
Condensation's face was only a few inches away from He Xi, He Xi's eyes didn't even dare to blink, he knew very well that his mother was serious at this time, although Condensation was his mother, but she was also the city lord of Shadow Mist City, she controlled everything in Shadow Mist City, it was she who let her people have a place to survive in this chaotic world, and it was she who led her people to solve crises again and again, but at the same time, he also knew that if she really made her embarrassed, she would not hesitate to solve her own.
"This guy is different, and it's not just his different pupils. Said Painted Dream.
"So what else is there?" Jun Mo asked, the words of the dream painting immediately aroused his curiosity, Jun Mo has always had a good feeling for the dream painting, but since she was recently promoted to a high-level mage, her temperament and attitude have been a little too impatient.
Dream slowed down, as the door to the City Lord's Hall was already in front of him. "It's hard to explain Qing, He Xi is smarter and more talented than all the children I've ever met, he has already learned the suspension technique when he was five years old, if he is replaced by other noble princes, I am afraid that this time will have to be delayed for another five or six years at least, but many times, the same thing, I have to punish him ruthlessly, so he can have a little progress, so now, I don't understand, what kind of demon prince he is. Said Painted Dream.
Jun Mo paused, did not respond to the painting dream, and walked into the city lord's hall before her. Condensation sat on the throne in the City Lord's Hall as usual.
"Mother, according to your instructions, I have brought Junmo here. ”
Jun Mo walked to Hua Meng's side, put one hand behind him, leaned over slightly, and saluted Condensation, but at this time, all his attention was focused on He Xi, who was naked and standing beside Condensation.
The black light in the condensing hand flickered, and a black energy ball was condensed in his hand in an instant, and the restless magic fluctuations on the energy ball appeared to be very active.
Hua Meng, who was beside Jun Mo, suddenly turned his head and looked away from his mother, at the same time, Condensation was expressionless, and without a trace of hesitation, he directly hit the energy ball on He Xi's back.
The energy ball brought a strong black gas on He Xi's back, and before the black gas dissipated, He Xi jumped up directly, grinning and crying out in pain.
Painting dreams seemed to be petrified in an instant, the whole body couldn't move, even the mouth couldn't close, and his eyes widened in disbelief......
Jun Mo was also taken aback, but his reaction was completely different from the others. He stretched out a hand and blocked his mouth with the back of his hand to prevent others from seeing his smile, but in the end, he couldn't hold back his laughter.
Blood Dance quickly pulled out her snake whip, she knew that if she didn't stop the people scurrying around the house at this time, I was afraid that even the three sisters would have to meet their mother's terrible anger.
What is very rare is that the condensation is not angry, and a smile seems to flash at the corner of his mouth, although it is fleeting, but it is still seen by many people. "You're in charge of teaching him the skills and fighting techniques of a demon warrior, but if he wants to achieve more, then he must enroll in a magic class when he arrives at the academy. ”
"Are you sure magic is his specialty, Lord Condensation?" asked Junmo.
"At least as I've said, he's smart and has a lot of potential, and besides, after the Great War sixteen years ago, our family needs more mages, and if he can learn magic, it will be a big help for our family. Condensation replied.
"Can I test it out?" asked Junmo.
"Whatever. Condensation didn't feel strange at all about Jun Mo's actions, and didn't reject his request, it was this subordinate who was both loyal and not afraid of her who had accompanied her in this chaotic world for more than three hundred years.
"Prince He Xi, catch it!" Jun Mo shouted after pulling out two short swords from the guard's body. He Xi shrugged his shoulders absently, and a flash reached the center of the hall, easily catching the two short swords.
Jun Mo did not stop, and then pulled out the sword on his waist and stabbed directly at He Xi, He Xi did not panic too much, easily avoided it, and used the two short swords in his hand to directly block Jun Mo's sword.
Jun Mo turned her head to look at Condensation, and Condensation's face showed a look of disdain, but then she motioned for Jun Mo to continue.
"Ready, I'm going to be ruthless. Jun Mo shouted loudly.
He Xi looked at Jun Mo's expression and didn't look like he was joking, so he took a deep breath and stabilized himself to prepare for Jun Mo's next test.
Jun Mo's lightning-like figure turned around in place, the sword in his hand waved quickly, turning into a vague impact, and then, he suddenly appeared on He Xi's body, and a sword slashed down, He Xi looked at Jun Mo's shot this time, with fear and some admiration.
Everyone gasped, although they knew that Jun Mo would not kill him, that kind of degree, it was not something that a newly adult demon who had never learned warrior skills could react, and the ferocity of that sword was enough to give He Xi a big color.
"Hahaha, he's a warrior, I can't believe he's just come of age and hasn't learned any warrior skills. Jun Mo laughed out loud.
Everyone looked at the two of them, only to see that one of the short swords in He Xi's hand was still broken at this time, and the other was just blocking Jun Mo's sword, although they knew that it was Jun Mo's subordinates who showed mercy, but who could guarantee that he could do better than He Xi at the same age?
"Hehe, yes, yes, it's indeed a warrior, Junmo, it's better for you to see people. Condensation finally laughed and shook his head helplessly. She wanted He Xi to become the archmage of the family, but her stubborn subordinates, as before, once again changed her plan, since He Xi was a warrior as Jun Mo said, then wouldn't it be a good thing to have an extra warrior in the family?
