Chapter 2: The Giving of the Sword
As soon as he entered the Qiongxian Pavilion, You Xuanhao felt deep regret.
Two columns of powerful, tall and mighty warriors stood on both sides of the foyer with golden spears in their hands, giving people an invisible coercion.
"Princess Yue'er has arrived, why don't you see your rigid father?" The big man sitting on a chair in the middle of the hall saw the girl, and a smile appeared on his ugly old face.
The Han is covered in purple gold armor, with a wine gourd hanging from his waist, and more than ten inscriptions on it, which looks like a magic weapon.
"Uncle Beijian Wang has been waiting for a long time, my father has urgent matters that need to be dealt with urgently, so I asked Yue'er to go to the meeting first, but she still arrived late, and Yue'er apologizes to her uncle here. The girl said with a look of shame.
"Aha, this guy dares to be late, Yue'er, uncle doesn't blame you, but the conspiracy of this drinking party is by no means a trivial matter, and he can't afford to delay!" The Northern Sword King frowned, and suddenly saw the young man in a beggar's suit behind Yue'er.
"Yue'er, why don't you understand the rules? Let's have a drinking party, how can we invite an outsider to come?"
You Xuanhao was a little overwhelmed for a while. When I just learned that the girl's identity was Shangguan Yue, the daughter of the Southern Sword King, I didn't have any ideas, but now that I am participating in the secret meeting of the two sword kings as an outsider, won't I be killed and killed?
"Oh, uncle, he's my friend, I just invited him over for a bite to eat, and he'll leave before the meeting. Shangguan Yue'er explained.
"Oh, you still have beggar friends, why haven't I heard of you?"
"Your Royal Highness the Northern Sword King," You Xuanhao spoke, "Yue'er and I met today. I advise you not to think of me as a beggar, though, I'm a soul mage. β
"Hahahaha, I knew that Yue'er's friend wouldn't be as simple as a beggar! Wait, I'll call the city, you two seem to be the same age, just have a fight!"
With that, the Northern Sword King quickly went upstairs, leaving You Xuanhao messy in the wind.
"Hey, Ah Hao..."Shangguan Yue'er tugged at You Xuanhao's clothes, "I just invited you to dinner, but I didn't expect to cause these troubles......"
"Heh, it's nothing, I just want to ask, can we really be friends?" You Xuanhao asked abruptly, he knew that Shangguan Yue'er invited him in just to show mercy to the beggar.
"Well, I believe that everything in the world is arranged, and since we have met, then we are naturally friends. β
"Then do you allow your friends to bully your cousin?" The cousin naturally refers to Shangguan Ducheng, the son of Shangguan Shuo, the Northern Sword King. The two sword kings were both the elder brothers of the Xuanshuang Emperor. Although Shangguan Bo is older, he got a daughter very late.
"Huh?"
"Nothing, can you tell me about your cousin's strength?"
"Oh, cousin, he's just reached the level of a second-class sect. β
You Xuanhao once again felt that something was wrong with his ears. 2. Major Bulk Level......
The level of soul mages is clear, and levels 1 to 9 are beginners, so naturally there is no title. Levels 10 to 29 are all master-level, and every time you break through the bottleneck of level 10, you can practice a yellow soul bead, a total of two; levels 30 to 49 are all major levels, similar to the master level, two blue soul beads; level 50 to 69 is the emperor level, two black soul beads; 70 to 89 is the saint-level level, two red soul beads; after 90 to 99, he is already a peerless powerhouse in the world, the emperor level, a white soul bead; and after that, there are people who can peep into Shinto, and it is said that they have colored soul beads, known as demigod level. Each soul bead comes with a talent skill, called soul art, and soul beads above the emperor level can also rub spirit beast skills.
Reaching the level of the second major sect means reaching level 40 and having four soul beads in yellow, yellow, blue and blue.
This eldest cousin has actually reached level 40! You must know that the cultivation of soul mages before the age of fifteen is basically to consolidate the soul, and the cultivation is generally not higher than level 30.
According to this calculation, the sixteen-year-old Shangguan Ducheng would have been promoted by ten levels in one year, otherwise he would have reached level 35 or above at the age of fifteen! Of course, You Xuanhao was only fifteen years old, and now he has reached level 37, which is already a genius existence. However, Shangguan Ducheng, which broke through the bottleneck of level 40, was almost invincible for You Xuanhao at level 37.
"Then I have no chance of winning...... Why is there always a powerful and obscene villain cousin next to every beautiful girl......"
After waiting for a while, Shangguan Shuo came down with Shangguan Ducheng.
I have to say that Shangguan Jiecheng is a handsome guy with a good demeanor. It looks a bit romantic on the outside, but the sharp gaze in his eyes is intimidating. A pair of slender Danfeng eyes under a pair of sword eyebrows, but they are not gentle at all. You Xuanhao was very skeptical that Shangguan Shuo, such an ugly guy, could give birth to a son as handsome as himself. Dressed in golden armor, he reveals his superhuman status.
16 years old, second-level commander, is this against the sky?
You Xuanhao is convinced that he has hit a ghost today. 3rd class general, 2nd class general, 1st class general, 3rd level commander, 2nd class commander, 1st class commander...... How did this guy do it, prodigy? Or is it the emperor's grace and blindness?
"I know what you're thinking. Shangguan Yue'er said with a smile, "My cousin is a genius in governing the army, and the emperor's uncle specially named him 'Tianze General', ranking right among the second-level commanders. β
"Is it really blind dragon's eye......
You Xuanhao strode forward and caught up with Shangguan Shuo's father and son.
"I have heard the name of Tianze for a long time, and when I see it today, I really show a talent, and he is suave ......"
The corners of Shangguan Jiecheng's mouth rose slightly, but he spoke unceremoniously: "You beggar can pat yourself on the back, but you don't know if you have real skills, and you can't afford my sword." β
Before the words fell, the sword was unsheathed.
The red sword qi lingered around Shangguan Ducheng, and a powerful coercion erupted.
"Wait, wait!!" You Xuanhao shouted, "Dude, don't do things here, I don't have the money to pay for breaking things." β
He said: "Besides, you are already a cut above me, and you are still wearing this armor with bright and blind titanium alloy dog eyes, are you not intentionally bullying the disadvantaged?"
Shangguan Jiecheng thought for a while, "It makes sense, wait!" After that, he went upstairs and went to change into civilian clothes.
Shangguan Ducheng, who was dressed in civilian clothes, was indeed very handsome, better than You Xuanhao, but at this time, You Xuanhao had no time to be jealous. The disparity in rank made You Xuanhao feel pressured. What kind of thing is this, when you go out, you meet a nobleman, and you fight like this......
Without waiting for Shangguan to decide on the city, You Xuanhao's mouth moved: "Great sea god, please give me the power of the sea and condense the shackles of agility!"
A pale blue halo flashed on You Xuanhao's arm, and a lot of smart water droplets appeared in an instant, shining with strange brilliance around the circle. The three soul beads of yellow, yellow, and blue swirled around You Xuanhao's body.
The water droplets then quickly turned into shackles and flew towards Shangguan Ducheng.
"Magic Soul Technique?!" Shangguan Ducheng was startled, the sword on the left side was unsheathed, and more than ten sword qi slashed towards the shackles of water. The four soul beads of yellow, yellow, blue and blue appeared.
The shackles were raised, and the sword qi was met.
Herebyββββ
The situation far exceeded You Xuanhao's expectations. The shackles formed by the condensation of water droplets evaporated into water vapor and disappeared in front of You Xuanhao's eyes.
He's not an ice soul mage!
According to You Xuanhao's train of thought, Shangguan Ducheng belongs to the Heavenly Ice Imperial Family, and must be an ice soul mage. And although You Xuanhao is a water soul mage, he is restrained by the ice element, and his control of the water element is perfect, but it is enough for the shackles of water to contain Shangguan Ducheng before the ice element freezes it. But the ...... is in front of you A fire soul mage from the Heavenly Ice royal family has broken the plan.
There was no way, I could only go on it, and the third soul technique didn't work, so I had to set up another plan. You Xuanhao roared and rushed to Shangguan Ducheng.
Instantaneous, Second Soul Technique-Water Archery Technique!Countless arrow-shaped water emanated from the center of You Xuanhao's right palm, and quickly shot at Shangguan Ducheng.
"Wall of Fire!"
A water arrow slashed through Shangguan Ducheng's face, and then the wall of fire was erected out of thin air, blocking all the water arrows.
"His fire is too fierce, my water can't be extinguished, what should I do?!" You Xuanhao's mind was racing, trying his best to calculate how to get out of the downwind situation.
Then the water arrow is fired, and the opponent meets him with rockets.
Z-
The handover of ice and fire turned into water vapor again.
"Blocked?"
This is true β but not all. In the thick mist, a remnant rocket flew out and shot straight at You Xuanhao's head.
Lying back urgently, the rocket swiped over You Xuanhao's head. Kind of escaped!
"Whew...... It's so dangerous, almost one less genius in the world!"
However, the battle is not over yet. The Northern Sword King and Shangguan Yue'er behind Shangguan Ducheng were looking at it vigorously, and it didn't matter who lost or who won. You Xuanhao thought that he must not lose face, so he looked at Shangguan Yue'er...... She's smiling at me!
But Shangguan Ducheng didn't leave him time to commit nymphomaniac. Then the Fourth Soul Technique was launched.
"Minions of Fire!" The flames rose into the sky, and in an instant, it turned into a giant beast that was half a dragon and half a phoenix, fluttering its huge wings, and galloping towards You Xuanhao.
The minions of fire, the fourth soul technique of Shangguan Ducheng City, the effect - flame impact, controlled by the initiator's mind, with an additional burst burn effect. Those who are not higher than their own strength cannot be accepted. What a fire minion, if you change to an ordinary soul mage, this skill should already be the sixth soul technique!
You Xuanhao took a deep breath, and his hands continued to condense water droplets. The first soul technique - water shield, activate!
A wall of water appeared in front of You Xuanhao out of thin air, emitting powerful energy fluctuations. "You must block it!" You Xuanhao glanced at the wall of water in front of him, and ran backwards. The farther away the better!
Boom ββββ
It's a big cloud of fog again.
However, the Flame Behemoth only stopped for a moment, and then flew towards You Xuanhao at a rapid pace.
"O great god of the sea, please give me the power of the sea and condense the shackles of agility!
More than a dozen chains the thickness of an adult's wrist flew towards the flame beast, entangled the dragon's claws. The behemoth finally stopped.
You Xuanhao smiled. Rushed in front of Shangguan Ducheng, dodged a sword swung by Shangguan Ducheng in a panic, and punched him in the handsome face.
"Left Hook!Right Hook!Up Hook!Down Hook!Pegasus Meteor Punch!Ha!"
Shangguan Jiecheng retreated five steps in a row and almost fell to the ground. You Xuanhao's breath was steady, as if he was winning.
It was at this moment that the shackles that had trapped the Flame Behemoth completely evaporated. Oops! If the flames attack, Shangguan Ducheng will naturally be fire immunity, so it will be lost!
You Xuanhao looked at Shangguan Yue'er behind Shangguan Ducheng, and suddenly a light flashed in his eyes.
"Yue'er, what's wrong with you?!"
You Xuanhao's pretended panic really worked, Shangguan Jiecheng turned around with concern and anxiety on his face, but saw that Princess Yue'er was safe and sound, and before she could figure out the situation, she was kicked away by You Xuanhao. In the midst of the dissipation, the minions of fire instantly collapsed.
Victory, included in You Xuanhao's bag.
"You're outstanding. The applause behind him rang out, but it was an unfamiliar voice.
"Dad!" Shangguan Yue'er shouted, "Why did you arrive?"
The man in white smiled, "I've been standing here for a long time with the concealment technique just now, what do you mean by just here?" This little brother is really extraordinary, and his appearance is impeccable, but this beggar pretends to be ......."
You Xuanhao took a step forward: "His Royal Highness the Southern Sword King, if you look down on beggars, then I think I can go." β
"No, I'm trying to say, do you want to get a new one, I have a few cloth clothes. β
"What's so embarrassing about that...... Show me if it fits. You Xuanhao shamelessly took the cloth in Shangguan Bo's hand. This was taken out of the soul magic bag on Shangguan Bo's waist that could hold a one-square-meter object. I looked back and forth, and it was indeed suitable.
"Your Highness!"
Shangguan Bo smiled slightly, carefully looked at You Xuanhao, blonde hair...... Not native. Then he turned his gaze to Shangguan Yue'er: "Such a perfect man, why haven't you mentioned it to me?"
Shangguan Yue'er's face was flushed, "Dad...... I only met him today. "Pulling the corners of her skirt as she spoke.
At this time, the Northern Sword King spoke: "You kid is really treacherous, and he actually defeated the decisive city, which can be regarded as a heavenly asset." I have a sword here, and although I don't have a sword spirit, it is very suitable for you, and I give it to you now. β
"Your Highness Xie!" You Xuanhao was unceremonious, and did not salute as a corporal, and took the sword in Shangguan Shuo's hand. Hurry up and take it, lest he regret it!
At the same time, he also saw Shangguan Ducheng behind the Northern Sword King with a resentful face.
I have to say that this sword is really a sword, the sword is two feet and an inch long, the sword body is made of special materials, revealing a trace of coolness, the blade is like autumn frost, and it is extremely sharp. A square groove on the hilt of the sword is used to set gems to increase the power of the sword.
That afternoon, You Xuanhao and the Sword King had a meal together. After being a beggar for so long, he finally has to have a feast today, and You Xuanhao is extremely satisfied.
When the drinking party reached the conspiracy stage, You Xuanhao left on his own, and he naturally didn't know what the two sword kings were discussing, but he also guessed that it was related to the war between the two empires of TechnoAlpin and Seth. Before leaving, Shangguan Yue'er gave him a warm ring pei as a souvenir.
You Xuanhao inexplicably thanked Old Man Rong, if he hadn't asked me to come out to buy New Year's goods, how could there be such an opportunity?
Wait a minute...... Buying New Year's goods?!Oh no!
You Xuanhao fell into a hurry.
