Chapter 21: Two Years
"Fisher, I heard that Moonlight Town has a genius! I'm only 10 years old and I've already become a mid-level warrior!" Hill ordered a glass of the spiciest old wine and asked the boss. It's no wonder that he is curious www.biquge.info know that most of the mercenaries in Moonlight Town are at the level of intermediate warriors, and they are not much stronger.
"That's Mu Kong, the son of Blacksmith Mu, our Moonlight Town has finally produced a genius after all these years!" Fisher smiled with some pride, a 10-year-old mid-level warrior is also a rare genius in the entire continent!
"I really want to see how these geniuses cultivate, the bottleneck of level 3 to level 4 has trapped many people's path to promotion, and he rushed over without hindrance!"
In the Warcraft Forest, the mercenaries are talking about the protagonist who is confronting a shadow leopard, Mu Kong stares at the shadow leopard, observing his muscles and limbs, and predicting its possible next move. The Shadow Leopard also instinctively felt that the young man in front of him was not easy to deal with, and he didn't dare to act rashly.
"He's fast, but it's still within my reach. Mu Kong thought to himself, a black iron sword appeared out of thin air in his hand, and there were even some wrinkles on the surface, which looked no threat. The Shadow Leopard couldn't bear it anymore, although he instinctively felt the danger, but after all, he was only an intermediate-level demonic beast, and his intelligence was not very high, and he couldn't stand a human being going wild in his territory.
With just a "brush", the Shadow Leopard disappeared in place, his strong limbs and streamlined body made him fast and responsive. Leaving behind an afterimage, the Shadow Leopard swooped down on the empty door, its sharp claws and teeth glinting with a cold light.
Mu Kong was ready at the moment of the Shadow Leopard's action, he did not dodge in a panic, but calmly faced the Shadow Leopard who pounced towards him, the power of the fighting energy in his body mixed with the huge power of the body was secretly condensed in his hands, he lifted the magic iron sword horizontally, directly stuck the upper and lower jaws of the Shadow Leopard, and punched the Shadow Leopard's body with a fist with his left hand. The Shadow Leopard seemed to sense that the punch was not easy to deal with, and quickly dodged and retreated.
"I can barely react, but fortunately, I have long been adapted to rapid reaction and blow in the sparring with Xiaohu. "Mu Kong is also a sweat from you, the speed of the shadow leopard is very fast, if it weren't for the fact that he was familiar with this attack method with Xiaohu, this shadow leopard could really make him scramble.
The Shadow Leopard climbed up the tree in a flash, with a black ball of energy condensed in its mouth, its idea was very simple, first use long-range attacks to disrupt Mukong's defenses, and then quickly pounce on it, attacking Mukong's weakness. The black ball of energy rushed towards Mu Kong with bursts of gloomy energy, and the Shadow Leopard was ready to pounce on all four limbs.
"Dark Magic Ball?" Mu Kong knew that the Shadow Leopard, as a level 5 dark demonic beast, still had a few innate magics, and the Dark Magic Ball was a long-range attack interference magic. Mu Kong's heart was already prepared, his fighting spirit condensed the soles of his feet, and with a sudden force, his body quickly bounced backwards, and he dodged the attack of the dark magic ball without danger.
However, the Shadow Leopard was waiting for this opportunity, and the "Shadow Raid" was quietly launched, and the Shadow Leopard seemed to be hidden in the dark shadows, and quickly came behind Mu Kong.
"Shadow Raid?" Mu Kong was already on guard in his heart, although he couldn't catch the shadow leopard's figure with the naked eye, he was not flustered at all.
"Roar. The Shadow Leopard suddenly attacked from behind Mu Kong, wanting to bite Mu Kong's neck, and saw that his teeth were about to touch Mu Kong's skin, but Mu Kong turned around suddenly, and the punch that had already been stored up hit the Shadow Leopard's open abdomen hard.
The slender body of the Shadow Leopard, accompanied by a roar of pain, flew backwards, flying more than 10 meters away. The Shadow Leopard ate Mu Kong's punch, was in pain, and struggled to get up from the ground, looking at Mu Kong with some fear, but he didn't dare to come up and attack again.
Mu Kong didn't take advantage of the victory to chase after him, he took the Shadow Leopard's life, and even the punch just now he retracted his strength, otherwise the Shadow Leopard wouldn't just be in pain, how could he have to suffer a little injury.
"Boss, your strength has improved again!" Xiaohu jumped out of nowhere and lay on top of Mu Kong's head.
"My current cultivation of Dou Qi has finally reached level 4 and is on par with the strength of my body, which feels amazing, as if the trajectory of my cultivation should go hand in hand like this. After Mu Kong felt that the strength of the fighting spirit and the strength of his body were level, his grasp of strength seemed to be much finer.
"Hmph, you still can't beat me!" Xiaohu said a little arrogantly.
Mu Kong shook his head a little helplessly, thinking of Xiaohu's speed and terrifying aura, it was really terrifying! But then he thought about it, Xiaohu hadn't eaten less magic crystals and iron ore in the past two years. "After eating so many gold coins, if you still have the original strength, you can directly commit suicide and apologize!" Mu Hollow was full of slander in his heart. It's Xiaohu, it's still the size of the original palm, and there is no trace of growing up at all, which also makes Mu Kong and Mu Yue very surprised.
Ignoring the Shadow Leopard, Mu Kong and Xiaohu walked towards the outside of the Warcraft Forest, which did not go deep into the Warcraft Forest, they were all intermediate Warcraft, so they didn't have to be careful. In the past two years, Mu Kong has probably been familiar with his strength in this area and practiced fighting, but he has never killed any demonic beast, he always believes that any living creature living in this world must be respected.
Such an idea made Xiaohu scoff, he was used to seeing the fight between monsters in the Warcraft Forest, and he was used to seeing the weak eating the strong, and he was speechless after hearing Mu Kong's theory, but Mu Kong was a stubborn donkey temper, and he was helpless. "Alas, I can't understand until the boss has experienced something personally!" Xiaohu thought with some vicissitudes.
"Boss, you now have level 5 strength, you can try to go deeper into the forest! Maybe you can even meet the legendary killer! But don't worry, I will protect you." Xiaohu teased.
"Who can practice alone in the depths of the Warcraft Forest, who doesn't have the strength of a high-level warrior or magician, although you are stronger than me, you are also very limited, and you are ashamed to protect me!" Mu Kong patted Xiaohu's head, rolled his eyes, and then said, "Besides, where are so many killers and robbers." Mu Kong knew what Xiaohu meant, although the mercenaries of Moonlight Town could not interfere with the lives of civilians, he could still know some news. It is said that in the depths of the Warcraft Forest, there are often people who attack other people, and in order to seize the Warcraft crystal nucleus and property, the most dangerous thing in the depths of the Warcraft Forest is not Warcraft but humans.
In this regard, Mu Kong still has some doubts, why do human beings kill each other? Is it just for money? If there is little money, it is not that they can't live? Why do they want to kill their own kind for money? Although Mu Yue often told him, "The heart of guarding against others is indispensable." Although he also almost died because of Gu Snow and others, but after all, he has not experienced the darkness of human nature, and Gu Snow was only affected that time, so it is really hard for him to believe that humans will use a butcher's knife to attack their own kind.
"Alas, you're going to suffer like this!" Xiaohu was a little helpless, absentmindedly rubbing Mu Kong's hair.
"Okay, I'll be careful!" Mu Kong reassured.
......
"Kong'er, it's time for the magic test in a few days, are you ready?" At the dinner table, Mu Yue looked at Mu Kong with satisfaction, Mu Kong's strength has improved by leaps and bounds in the past two years, although he has not experienced the baptism of blood, but he is definitely the best among his peers.
"Well, I know, but I still have some confusion in my heart, what is the standard of the magic test, and what should I pay attention to?" Mu Kong looked at his father and asked, Moonlight Town is too small, and basically no magicians will stop here, so even if Mu Kong wants to know about magic, he has no way of knowing, he can only listen to some hearsay from mercenaries.
"Alas......" Mu Yue didn't answer Mu Kong immediately, but let out a long sigh.
After a moment of silence, he asked, "Sora, do you know what magic is?"
"This ......" came to his lips, but Mu Kong hesitated again, although the news about magic in Moonlight Town was closed, but it was impossible for him not to know this kind of common sense thing, but his father asked so, he really didn't know how to answer.
"People in the world believe that magic is formed by using its own magic power as a guide and guiding the elements of heaven and earth with spiritual power. At the same time, he distinguishes between Dou Qi and magic, and regards Dou Qi as the power in his body!" Mu Yue took a sip of wine and paused.
Mu Kong looked at his father suspiciously, these are already well-known!
"However, have you ever thought about it!Since Dou Qi and Magic Power both come from the power of the elements, why are they incompatible with each other, and we still have to distinguish them?" Mu Yue's tone was a little heavy.
"This ......" Mu Kong was taken aback, remembering that when he first heard about magic a few years ago, he seemed to really think about it, he remembered that he was still thinking about mixing fighting energy and magic at that time, but with the growth of what he saw and heard in the past few years, he knew how ridiculous that kind of idea was, but today his father took the initiative to mention it, does this mean that his original idea was not wrong?
Mu Yue didn't know Mu Kong's thoughts, and said to himself, "Magic and Dou Qi are of the same origin, but we want to separate them and distinguish them, which is a mistake in itself!"
"But father, the warrior's body and melee ability are already stronger than the magician's!There is still a big gap!" Mu Kong asked the doubts in his heart.
"The body of a warrior is stronger than that of a magician, and that is only because a warrior will take the initiative to polish his body the day after tomorrow, it does not mean that a magician is born with a weak body! The operation of magic power can also temper physical fitness, and it is not much worse than fighting spirit! It is just that the warriors assist in exercising medicinal materials and other methods, so the world has the impression that a warrior's body is much stronger than that of a magician! As for the melee ability, it is a practice that comes from fighting a lot, who told you that a magician must not be good at melee combat? A lot of magic can improve melee combat effectiveness, but too many magicians are in it and don't know it!" Mu Yue sighed, he had also figured out this truth in the depression and calm of Moonlight Town for more than ten years.
"Although I don't know how to fuse the Dou Qi and the magic power together!, but I am sure that the Dou Qi and the magic power must be of the same origin, and they must be able to be fused!" Mu Yue became more and more excited the more he spoke.
"Kong'er, I don't force you to have a dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, but if you find that you can definitely take this path, if there is hope to try to study the fusion of fighting qi and magic again, I know it is very dangerous, but as long as you are careful not to force it, it should be no big problem!" Mu Yue looked at Mu Kong's eyes full of essence.
"Okay, father!" Mu Kong didn't understand why his father wanted to make his demon martial arts dual cultivation, but he still agreed.
With Mu Kong's answer, Mu Yue looked at the sky quietly, a little distracted.
"Kong'er, I know I'm sorry for you all these years, I haven't fulfilled the responsibilities of a father. Mu Yue took the wine glass and drank it all.
Mu Kong was a little at a loss, he didn't know why his father suddenly talked about this, but when he was a child, the scene of his father handing himself over to Aunt Sally to take care of him began to linger in his mind, without his mother's care, his father's tepid greetings, often looking at the night sky and drinking silently, while he could only do training and doing homework over and over again. Mu Kong felt a little aggrieved, a little suffocated, he didn't dare to speak, he was afraid that tears would fall uncontrollably as soon as he spoke.
"After a few days of magic testing, Dad still can't go with you, but you have to believe that Mom and Dad really love you!" Mu Yue's eyes were a little wandering, and he didn't know how to face Mu Kong and say these words.
"Dad, I know, I know, you must have your own troubles, Mom has been sleeping for a long time, and you are often distracted by the night sky, I can see it! I know that my strength is not enough, I can't share your worries, but I will definitely work hard!" Mu Kong's tears still fell without a trace.
Mu Yue looked at the tearful child in front of him, and a bitterness appeared in his heart. There are still 6 years to become an adult, but the 10-year-old Mu Kong is already so sensible and mature, isn't it his own fault? Mu Yue blamed himself.
"Kong'er, you already have a lot of strength! You are already a man! Your hard work, your parents see it, you are our pride!" Mu Yue looked at Mu Kong's eyes and made a loud sound.
Mu Kong suddenly felt that all the hardships he had suffered over the years seemed to have disappeared, leaving only the warmth and happiness recognized by his parents. He wiped his tears and said, "Father, I will not let you down!"
Mu Yue nodded with a complicated face and said, "Fortunately, your strength has reached the intermediate level of a warrior now, and I can rest assured that you can go to this magic test by yourself." It's just empty, this time you must be calm when you go to participate in the magic test, don't be impulsive, many noble children may have already started magic, but don't panic, the magic test mainly depends on qualifications. “
"What? Many people have already started? Doesn't it mean that the development of mental power at the age of 10 can be stabilized?" Mu Kong felt a little incredible.
"That's true, but the big family has a lot of secret recipes to stabilize the fluctuation of mental power and carry out magical enlightenment for children without interfering with the growth of mental power. Mu Yue was a little apologetic, they could have been enlightened by Mu Kong's magic, but they couldn't go out, Xueyin had been sleeping for many years, there were no materials, no one to guide them, so they could only put it on hold.
"So that's the case!" Mu Kong was a little angry in his heart, but he didn't think too much about it, he was already much better than other peers in the town, how could he be angry and denounce unfairness because of this? Maybe he already knew in his heart that "fairness is the excuse of the weak".
"Your magical talent is very high, and your mother has already investigated it for you!" Mu Yue looked at Mu Kong and said seriously.
"Mom!" Mu Kong knew that her mother had been paying attention to herself, although she was only awake one day a year, but her mother was so gentle and kind, like a spring breeze, people couldn't bear to blame.
"So, you don't need to worry about not being admitted, you just need to think about which magic academy to go to. Mu Yue said.
"But, I don't know about this!" Mu Kong was a little flustered, he was going to leave in a few days, although he had been looking forward to it, but he was really going to leave, and he was still inexplicably nervous in his heart.
"Actually, in the entire territory of the Wuluo Empire, the best should be the Izumo Academy! After all, this is where the Emperor Wuluo once studied. It's just that the distance is too far away, and I can't send you there in person, so I'm really worried about letting you go alone. Mu Yue touched his forehead, thought for a while and said, "It's still the Bart Royal Academy, it's also considered to be the top in the Bart Kingdom, and it's also a comprehensive academy of magic and warriors, so I can rest assured that you go alone." ”
"Royal Academy?" Mu Kong couldn't believe it, he had never known his magical talent, and he had some doubts about whether he was qualified to become a magician. But his father suddenly told him that he was a magical genius and asked him to sign up for the Royal Academy, which made him feel like he was in a fog.
"It's not too good, but it should be enough to provide you with the learning resources you need!" Mu Yue was still a little dissatisfied, with his vision, the little Bart Kingdom Royal Academy was really nothing.
"After you leave Moonlight Town yourself, go to Garloton, where there is a griffin station, and you can take the griffon directly to Bart Imperial City. Mu Yue advised, thinking that there should be no problem.
"Galloton?" As the largest prefecture-level city near Moonlight Town, Gallodon Mukong had heard of it, but he had never had a chance to go.
"I'll entrust some mercenaries to send you over tomorrow, and you don't know the way!" Mu Yue had a headache, there is no mercenary union in Moonlight Town, and the mercenaries stationed here are all small mercenary groups that are not in the stream, and few high-level mercenaries will stay in Moonlight Town.
"Okay!" Mu Kong couldn't help but feel a little excited, was he finally going out on his own?
"As for the magic test, I won't say much more, just follow their instructions when you get there. Mu Yue looked at Mu Kong's excited face, but he couldn't bear to fight.
......
The cool breeze at the beginning of summer was a little mischievous in the little tiger's hair, and Mu Kong was full of anticipation and hugged the little tiger in the scattered fallen leaves and imagined the journey to come. Mu Yue silently wiped the dusty hilt of the sword, his eyes were full of expectation, determination, and panic......
