Chapter 300 Coming of Age Ceremony
"That's enough. Fight us out. My palace has been destroyed by you two several times!" The patriarch slammed the table.
Unlike the anger he felt before when facing the pirates, he now feels more helpless.
Fortunately, one of the two demon kings is finally about to reach adulthood. When he comes of age, he will definitely have to learn the rules of the palace.
"By the way, what's your name, kid?" The patriarch turned to look at Ji Wanyi who was staying obediently beside Hai Ming. Seeing such a little mermaid, his tone unconsciously became gentle.
"Her name is Hai Yi, and she is less than 30 years old." Ji Wanyi didn't say anything, and it was Hai Ming who answered.
"So small!" Hai Le stopped fighting and went behind Hai Ming to grab Ji Wanyi.
Ji Wanyi looked at him calmly.
The colorful fish tails swayed in the water.
"Hai Le! Be gentler." Hai Ming separated Hai Le.
"Do you have any talents?" Hai Le was driven away, but the other two-meter-tall mermaid did not.
He leaned over and asked curiously.
"What talent are you talking about?" Ji Wanyi asked curiously.
"These are abilities we are born with. Boss Haile can control water, and I can communicate with fish. What about you?" Helen continued to explain.
His eyes are so clear.
Ji Wan raised her hand, and the sea water froze into ice in her hand.
"This one?"
"Yes, yes, that's it. Ice is also very powerful, and very rare. The one that Boss Haile has is too common. Many people in the mermaid tribe have it."
No matter how chaotic the situation was on the other side, Ji Wanyi and Helen were having a happy chat here.
"I'll take you to catch jellyfish later. They're delicious." Helen suggested excitedly.
In his opinion, Hai Le would soon become an adult and would no longer be the boss. From then on, he would be the boss of all the mermaid cubs.
At first, he was worried that if he was the only cub in the mermaid tribe, who would he be the leader of? Now there is another one, although he is smaller, but he is still a younger brother... no, a younger sister.
"No need." Ji Wanyi waved her hands quickly. She didn't want to eat the jellyfish raw.
"Helen, go and accompany Haile to familiarize yourself with the process of the coming-of-age ceremony. You will be an adult in three hundred years. Haiyi is still too young to play with you."
Haiming continued to drive them away.
The two days passed quickly, but it was extremely difficult for the adult mermaids.
It seemed that he also knew that his good days were coming to an end.
Haile seized the last opportunity to have a party.
He tricked almost everyone in the mermaid tribe whom he could see.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the coming-of-age ceremony officially began.
The mermaids gathered together long ago and rushed to the venue for the ceremony.
This is a good thing that all the residents of Ocean Star celebrate together.
Celebrate that another group of demons is about to receive their comeuppance.
All races of Ocean Star gathered together.
The protagonists of this ceremony had more gloomy faces than each other, some even cried, and shouted that they did not want to become adults, but no one paid any attention to them today.
The smiles that usually appeared on their faces were transferred to the faces of the adults today.
Ji Wanyi still stayed beside Hai Ming and didn't say a word the whole time.
Quite a few people asked Hai Ming about her.
Hai Ming proudly introduced and answered all the questions one by one.
"There will be a talent test for newborns soon. If you haven't taken it before, you can try it. Don't worry, this test is useful for children of any race."
Hai Ming reminded.
Ji Wan nodded slightly. She was willing to give it a try if there was no risk of being exposed.
Amidst laughter and cries, the ceremony began, and one by one, quasi-adults were thrown onto the stage.
Beams of light enveloped them.
But it brought them not comfort, but pain. The light burned their skin, and the delicate minors screamed and rolled on it.
But that’s not the end of the story.
The adults attending the ceremony grew serious.
The strong men of all races stood up and intimidated the minors on the stage without any hesitation.
There were so many war god-level warriors, many of whom were the top fighters of their respective races. They were unrestrainedly exerting pressure, and the minors on the stage were almost turned into fish cakes.
"This is the first lesson we old guys are teaching you. From now on, you will have no one to protect you. You must distinguish between the strong and the weak, and recognize the priorities. If you dare to provoke us like before, you will only be greeted with this kind of pressure and attack."
Every senior is reminding his or her juniors. Rather than a reminder, Ji Wanyi feels that it is more like a warning.
After two or three hours of torture, the most formal part of the ceremony finally ended, and now it was time to test the talents of the newly born minors.
Ji Wanyi originally thought that it was better to have less trouble than more, so he didn't think about going up.
But whether they were mermaids or people of other races, all their eyes were on her.
Although she could handle the feeling of being the center of attention, she still felt uncomfortable.
After hesitating for a moment, she went up.
She remembered that Isis had said that she was gifted, and she wanted to see what was so special about her talent.
She was the only mermaid in the clan, but there were many young ones from other clans.
"Haha, I thought the mermaid bloodline was about to break, but I didn't expect another one to appear and connect it."
"It's just that this little guy is too small and doesn't look very healthy. I wonder if he can continue the excellent talents of your mermaid clan." Next to the mermaid clan, the leader of the dark eel clan was watching the excitement on the stage.
The dark eels have always been at odds with the mermaids.
I feel happy when the other person is not doing well.
"Then just watch carefully." Hai Ming was not panicked at all.
In his opinion, the little guy has experienced so much at such a young age, and was able to safely cross the space turbulence and come to the Ocean Star. His strength and talent must be good.
As they were talking, a huge pillar of light with mist appeared on the stage.
"Children, don't be afraid. Come one by one and place your little hands on the beam of light."
The powerful man who was showing off his might just now looked gently at the children who were making a mess on the stage.
There was chaos on the stage, with a group of kids about her age fighting each other, really fighting.
Not wanting to be affected, Ji Wanyi held her tail and floated above the platform.
She looked gloomily at the mass of cubs beneath her.
It was so noisy and annoying, as if she had accidentally walked into an unsupervised kindergarten.
My hatred for children reached its peak at this moment.
"Come down, or I'll come up and beat you up." A strong-looking child from the Dark Eel tribe pointed at Ji Wanyi above and said.
Seeing this, the leader of the Dark Electric Eel Clan showed a smug and proud look.
But the next moment, the smile on his face stopped.
Ji Wanyi lowered her eyes and looked at the person who was pointing at her.
She swung her hand downwards and an ice cone knocked the child down. Considering that the child was a child, she showed mercy.
The patriarch's words have been spoken above, but it seems that these children have no intention of putting their hands on the pillar.
The people above didn't urge them to continue, and it seemed that they were waiting until they had enough fun.
Ji Wanyi didn't plan to stay there anymore. She stretched out her hand towards the pillar, intending to go back after finishing the test.
