Chapter VI: Rites of Passage
Walking on the altar, Shang Zhan walked to Shang Chen's side, and saw Shang Chen's seemingly unimpressed appearance, thinking that the elders were also particularly protective of him on weekdays, he felt even more disgusted.
"Some people really don't have any self-knowledge, and they deliberately embarrass face at the coming-of-age ceremony, don't they just rely on their status! But I want to see how he can challenge himself! How to enter the door of the Starlight Academy! Hmph!"
Shang Chen's originally suppressed state of mind suddenly fell into confusion when he heard the words "Starlight Academy".
The night before, Shang Chen thought about it and thought that now that his soul realm could cultivate on his own, his mother Lin Zhi could no longer teach him anything, and he could not cultivate his soul aura. It must be a little bit to stay at home like this, and now the only hope is the school in Xingyuan Town, Xinghui Academy.
Although the Starlight Academy is located in Xingyuan Town, it is not under its jurisdiction, but directly belongs to the Eton Empire, and it is also one of the more famous schools in the entire empire, because of this, Shang Chen also aimed at the Starlight Academy that night, if he can't step into this academy, I'm afraid he won't be able to catch up with them in his life.
However, Xinghui Academy has had a rule since ancient times - no matter what kind of status, anyone who has not reached the five-star level of the Soul Qi Realm before the age of sixteen will not be accepted. It is also this well-known rule that makes Shang Chen extremely annoyed at this time.
Thinking about it this way, Shang Zhan, Shang Xue, and Shang Xinyu were equivalent to directly obtaining the admission qualifications of Xinghui Academy, and if he Shang Chen did not reach the five-star Soul Qi Realm before the age of seventeen, he would not even be able to enter the enrollment door.
I have to say that Shang Zhan's words really poked Shang Chen's sore spot, not to mention when he will be able to cultivate for the time being, it is even more impossible to rush to the five-star of the Soul Qi Realm in less than a year! It took nearly sixteen years for Shang Xue to cultivate to the six-star of the Soul Qi Realm, what courage did he have for Shang Chen to guarantee that he would directly rush to the five-star within a year?
Thinking of this, Shang Chen couldn't suppress his emotions anymore, and ran off the stage with all his strength, rushed out of the crowd, and walked into the distance, not knowing where to go, but at this time, the back of this young man looked very helpless, and compared with the dazzling talents on the altar at this moment, it was so out of place!
"Chen'er!......" Looking at his son's back, Shang Mingxuan couldn't do anything and sighed.
However, Shang Chen's current situation is too special, and even his patriarchal father can't help him in the slightest.
Ka Yikun on the side smiled sadly when he saw this scene, and asked stupidly, "Oh?
Ka Yikun, the patriarch of the Ka Yi family, the powerhouse of the Seven Star Soul Realm, the Ka Yi clan has fought openly and secretly in the major families over the years, including the Shang clan, seeing Shang Chen like this, a sinister smile appeared on the wrinkled old face.
In his opinion, Shang Mingxuan's son was so wasteful that he left the altar with frustrated self-esteem, and he didn't even care about the challenges behind, which undoubtedly made the major families see a joke.
Not only Ka Yikun alone, but also the major families discussed Shang Chen for a while.
Shang Mingxuan didn't pay attention to it, still organizing the coming-of-age ceremony, although these ridiculed gossip made his ears unclear, but when he thought that Shang Chen had gone through sixteen years in this contempt, he, a father, felt extremely self-reproachful and heartbroken.
"Garbage is garbage! I didn't expect to dare to run away!" Shang Zhan said coldly with disdain: "But from today onwards, this waste material probably has no face to see people!"
Shang Xue on the side listened to Shang Zhan's disdainful words, looked at Shang Chen's back getting farther and farther away, and became more and more flustered in her heart, did she go too far?
......
With a stomach full of unwillingness, Shang Chen kept walking and running, turning over the back mountain of the Shang clan, and I don't know how long he walked, he couldn't help but come to a strange mountain range, although he knew that there might be demon beasts in these places, but so what? Shang Chen can't take care of these now.
Coming to a stream, Shang Chen picked up a handful of water and poured it on his face, sobered up a lot, looking at the reflection in the water, Shang Chen didn't know where he should go after today?
"Boom!"
Just when the young man was stunned, a roar suddenly came from the jungle behind him, making Shang Chen tremble and almost fall into the water.
"Holy!"
Cursing, he immediately stood up, staring at the direction where the voice came from just now, Shang Chen's expression at the moment was very solemn, he didn't expect to meet a demon beast just after such a while, it seems that his luck is really not very good.
Shang Chen carefully moved his steps towards the jungle, and at the same time clenched his fists, urging the Spirit Realm Soul to increase its exploration of the surroundings.
"Not good!" he shouted, stomping on the ground, Shang Chen quickly retreated backwards, and the probing of his soul made him sense that a demon beast was rushing towards him.
Sure enough, as soon as he retreated a distance of dozens of zhang, a demon beast three or four meters high immediately attacked, smashing the place where the original boy had stayed.
Looking at the trampled land, Shang Chen swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his expression was very heavy, and he stared at the behemoth in front of him.
"First-Order Demon Beast, Rock Dragon!"
Looking at this demon beast, Shang Chen recognized it at a glance; the red scale armor was all over the body, as hard as a rock, and the whole body was shaped like a standing lizard, it is said that the rock dragon clan has the blood of a dragon, although it is a low-level demon beast, but it is much stronger than ordinary demon beasts, and has extremely strong defense and destructive power, so maybe because of this, the tail of the rock dragon is like the tail of the legendary dragon.
Recognizing this demon beast, the young man pinched his sweat, if he ran, if this demon beast kept chasing, his physical strength might not be comparable to this demon beast.
"I can only fight!" Shang Chen muttered to himself, without any fear, because the young man was angry at this moment!
"Come on! Anyway, Lao Tzu is holding back the fire in his belly today, and he is worried that there is no place to sprinkle it!" Shang Chen shouted, and at the same time, his whole body was accumulated, and even a touch of soul power was condensed in his palms.
If anyone saw someone trying to fight the rock dragon with their bare hands, they would definitely laugh at his stupidity.
But Shang Chen was different, and years of quenching made him want to know which of his body was stronger or weaker than this rock dragon.
The rock dragon looked down at the human with a weak breath in front of him, looking at his posture, the rock dragon looked extremely angry, in its opinion, how could this kind of ant have the courage to challenge it?
"Boom!"
With a roar, the rock dragon stepped through the soil layer and rushed towards Shang Chen, waving its front paws at the same time, slamming them into the air, and you could see how sharp the rock dragon's black and dazzling claws were in the sunlight.
In an instant, the rock dragon flashed in front of Shang Chen, and its front paws slashed an arc towards Shang Chen's head, it was hard to imagine that this behemoth actually had such speed!
The attacking claws made Shang Chen smack his tongue secretly, although he still had a little confidence in his body just now, but the sense of oppression that flew like a blade made Shang Chen no longer dare to slack off.
He immediately bent his legs, causing his entire body to lean back, and the claws of the rock dragon slashed upwards with the whistling sound that pierced the air.
Seeing that the rock dragon's blow missed, Shang Chen kicked the rock dragon's waist at a tricky angle, while he used the force of this push back to retreat.
With a heavy kick on the side of the waist, the rock dragon snorted and staggered a few steps to the right, it was very strange how this human had so much strength, and it actually made it feel pain!
Shang Chen knew that since this guy was like a lizard, he must be the same as a lizard, his waist and stomach would be relatively weak, and his strength and body were stronger than ordinary people, so he would naturally cause some damage to this guy to a greater or lesser extent!
"Generally, the rock dragon is equivalent to about seven or eight stars in the human soul qi realm, so it's just right for you to practice your hands!"
Looking at the rock dragon again, as if he had noticed something wrong, Shang Chen was shocked.
"No! There is a single crown on the head of the ordinary rock dragon, how can this guy be a double crown?" Looking at this rock dragon, Shang Chen was puzzled, as if he had found something, and guessed suspiciously: "Could it be the leader? If it is really the leader, I am afraid that it is a second-order demon beast, and it has the strength of the Soul Gathering Realm." ”
The young man smiled bitterly, even if he encountered a demon beast, he was still a leader, and he felt that he had never had any good luck at all.
"It doesn't matter if you have a single crown or a double crown, Lao Tzu will be able to beat it!" shouted angrily, this time without waiting for the rock dragon to make the first move, Shang Chen instead kicked back and galloped towards the rock dragon, the speed was comparable to that of the rock dragon at the beginning, and there was even a tendency to catch up.
Looking at the Terran kid running towards him, the rock dragon was surprised that such a weak human with such a weak breath could have such speed! No wonder that the claw just now flew into the air and took a kick in vain.
It seemed that he had been waiting, and just when Shang Chen was about three meters away from Yan Long, Yan Long suddenly turned around, and the tail behind him swept towards Shang Chen's chest, if he hadn't noticed it before, this blow would have been seriously injured!
"Tail! hehe!" Shang Chen's urging Spirit Realm Soul had already sensed the abnormal movement of the tail behind the rock dragon, so naturally he would not be hit.
With a slam on the ground, the boy soared into the air and galloped to the height of climbing with the rock dragon, but at this moment, the rock dragon turned around for the tail blow. If it was frontal, Shang Chen would not dare to do this, without any support in the air, it would definitely be very dangerous to face such a ferocious demon beast.
The tail of the rock dragon vigorously flicked a fan under Shang Chen, smashing a boulder on the ground, making the young man in the air suddenly gasp, but the fire in his stomach made Shang Chen ignite his fighting intent again.
"Lao Tzu let you know today that you are no longer the leader!"
Accumulation of strength on his legs, and even condensing a touch of soul power, regardless of whether the soul power is useful or not, Shang Chen tried to add it.
Spinning in the air, he slammed a roundhouse kick into the rock dragon's head, right in front of the crown.
"Whew!"
After the strength of the domineering kick, the rock dragon let out a mournful roar and fell to the side, and the double crown on its head, the symbol of its leader, was also under this force at this moment, breaking a crown, leaving only one crown independent of the right eye, which looked very funny.
Steadied his body, Shang Chen slowly approached the fallen giant beast, staring at the rock dragon that fell to the ground, the rock dragon at this moment looked extremely angry, as if he wanted to tear the reptile in front of him to pieces.
Ke Shangchen ignored the anger of the rock dragon, glanced at the broken and scattered dragon crown on the ground, and stepped on it directly, this is undoubtedly a complete insult to this rock dragon, and before the rock dragon went crazy, the young man couldn't help but smile coldly:
"Looks like you're not very lucky! Bump into me! Lao Tzu just happened to set fire!"
