Chapter 22: Flame Cloud Leopard
Chapter 22: Flame Cloud Leopard
Not to mention Nangong Jing and Feng Xuanzhou, even the Sixth Prince and others who were often jealous of Xuanyuan Xingyao couldn't help but smile in relief. This showed how terrifying Liu Shidu's teaching skills were, which made these princes unable to bear it.
Almost everyone went to bed and took a nap after returning to the palace, even Xuanyuan Xingyao was no exception. You know, he doesn't take a nap on weekdays, and he is always the first one to arrive at the afternoon martial arts class.
Before each class, Xuanyuan Xingyao would review the content taught in the previous class first, and then start learning new things after class. But this time, when Xuanyuan Xingyao arrived, class was about to start. Xuanyuan Xingyao had no time to review the content of the previous class, so he could only review it after class or after class.
Nangong Jing was the only summoner student, so after arriving at Ganquan Palace, Nangong Jing very consciously walked to the somewhat abrupt small table and began to draw the first-level summoning diagram over and over again.
Liu Gongfeng arrived when the class bell rang, but what Nangong Jing didn't expect was that Liu Gongfeng didn't come alone. He came with a young man. Although the man looked very young, Nangong Jing always felt that he was not that simple and became a little wary for a while.
"The little guy is quite alert." Nangong Jing's fleeting look of alertness did not hide it from Han Yan. Han Yan not only did not think there was anything wrong with Nangong Jing being alert to him, but was very satisfied with Nangong Jing's strong alertness.
"Xiao Jing, this is Han Gongsheng, also a summoner. He is my friend. When he heard that a student who is a summoner came to the palace, he was curious, so he followed us here." Because Nangong Jing couldn't know that Han Yan came here specifically to observe him, he couldn't reveal Han Yan's identity either, so he could only deceive him by using the identity of a friend.
Although Nangong Jing had a vague feeling that things were not that simple, he did not think that he had done anything worthy of being plotted against by the two powerful summoners, so he quickly relaxed, as if he had accepted Liu Gongsheng's explanation.
"Is this what you just drew? It's an improvement over yesterday." Liu Gongsheng glanced at the summoning diagram that Nangong Jing had just finished drawing on the table. He picked one up, took a closer look at it, and nodded with satisfaction. It was a lot of progress over yesterday, so he could try to draw it with his mental power today.
"Yes, after I arrived, I had nothing to do so I practiced again." Nangong Jing said in a deep voice.
"That's right. Although the training of a summoner is easier than that of a magician or a warrior, you can't become a strong one without hard work." Liu Gongfeng was very satisfied with Nangong Jing's attitude. Then Liu Gongfeng put down the blueprint and said to Nangong Jing, "Take out the soul summoner and start practicing."
"Yes." Nangong Jing responded respectfully and then took out the soul guide and injected his mental power into it as he did yesterday.
When Nangong Jing injected his spiritual power into the soul-calling little by little, he did not see Han Yan's expression change from indifference at first to surprise and finally shock.
"Well, I didn't lie, did I?" Although Han Yan's identity made Liu Gongfeng dare not be too presumptuous, but because the relationship between the two was quite close, Liu Gongfeng still couldn't help but make a joke.
"You really didn't lie. According to what you said, this kid is only five years old and has just awakened, but he already has such a strong mental power. His potential is definitely limitless." Han Yan rarely spoke to praise. Just this aptitude is several points stronger than when he awakened that year. He is indeed a good seedling.
"Then..." Liu Gongfeng asked tentatively.
Liu Gongfeng knew that Han Yan had always wanted to find a disciple to inherit his teachings, but he had never found one that impressed him. That's why he went to Han Yan after realizing that Nangong Jing was a good talent. Firstly, Liu Gongfeng didn't want Nangong Jing to waste his time in his hands, and secondly, he also hoped that Han Yan would get what he wanted.
"I need to observe him for a while. Sometimes talent is not important, character is what matters most. I don't want to raise someone who is arrogant or ungrateful." Han Yan was still very rational. Although he was satisfied with Nangong Jing's talent, he would not make the decision to accept him as his disciple so easily.
"It's indeed time to observe him carefully." Liu Gongsheng agreed with Han Yan's caution. Most people would observe him for a period of time before accepting him as a disciple for fear of receiving one with a bad temper, let alone a Summoner with such a high status as Han Yan.
After Nangong Jing let his mental power flow through the soul-guiding body, he found that his mental power had increased a little bit, so he subconsciously wanted to inject his mental power into the soul-guiding body again, but was stopped by Liu Gongfeng.
"Although your mental power is stronger than that of the average person who has just awakened, you are still young after all. It is enough to practice soul-calling once a day. If you do it more than once, your mental power will not only not increase but will be damaged." Liu Gongfeng said earnestly.
Nangong Jing wasn't a real child, so naturally he wouldn't act capriciously. After hearing what Liu Gongfeng said, he obediently put the soul guide back into his arms. There was no other way, as he didn't have a space ring yet, so he could only keep it in his arms.
Han Yan saw that Nangong Jing put the soul-guiding weapon away obediently, and there was a hint of satisfaction in his eyes, not being willful at all.
"You have practiced the first-level summoning diagram on a blank piece of paper quite well. Next, you can try to use your mental power to actually depict the summoning diagram." Liu Gongsheng said to Nangong Jing.
When Nangong Jing heard that he could use his mental power to carve the summoning diagram, his eyes lit up, and at the same time he began to imagine what kind of monster he would summon.
"Mr. Liu, how do I use my mental power to carve the summoning diagram?" Nangong Jing still had a vague idea about how to use mental power to carve the summoning diagram. He seemed to understand it but also seemed not to understand it.
"You must first memorize the summoning diagram firmly in your mind, and then use your own mental power as if you were inputting mental power into the soul summoning technique, and then carve the summoning diagram in your mind on the ground. Remember not to carve the entire summoning diagram at once, but to carve it line by line, and do not carve the lines incorrectly. When you feel that your mental power is not enough, you must stop carving immediately. Even if all the mental power you have previously used up is wasted, you cannot be stubborn. Do you understand?" Liu Gongfeng said carefully but seriously.
Nangong Jing finally understood why summoners were so rare and so difficult to level up. The requirements were too high. If he wasn't careful, all the previous carvings would be wasted. Fortunately, summoners only needed to carve a summoning diagram the first time they summoned a monster. After that, they could just release the monster from the space. Otherwise, they would be killed by the enemy before the summoning diagram was even finished.
"Yes, Mr. Liu, I've made note of it." Nangong Jing responded obediently.
Then Nangong Jing closed his eyes and recalled the pattern of the first-level summoning diagram in his mind. After firmly engraving each line in his mind, Nangong Jing began to use his mental power to carve on the ground.
"Do you think he can succeed in one go?" Liu Gongfeng said softly to Han Yan.
"I think he can do it." Although it was the first time Han Yan met Nangong Jing, he was full of confidence in him.
"You seem to have a lot of confidence in him." Liu Gongfeng looked at Han Yan in surprise, as if he didn't expect that Han Yan would value Nangong Jing so much when they met for the first time.
Han Yan simply smiled and said nothing. He wouldn't tell Liu Gongsheng that when he saw Nangong Jing just now, he felt like he was seeing himself as a child hundreds of years ago. It wasn't that they looked alike, but rather that their temperaments were somewhat similar. Back then, he was able to carve a first-level summoning diagram in one go, so Han Yan believed Nangong Jing could do the same.
Not to mention that Han Yan's mental strength at the time was not as strong as Nangong Jing's. If he could succeed, if Nangong Jing couldn't succeed, then there would be no need to accept him as his disciple.
Nangong Jing's carving was very easy and simple at the beginning, but he started to have some difficulties later on, but it was not a big problem. It was just that the mental power required became greater as time went on. Fortunately, Nangong Jing's mental power was strong, so this was not a big deal for him.
When Nangong Jing carved the last stroke, the summoning diagram on the ground suddenly burst out with amazing light. Everyone, whether they were practicing or attending class, stopped what they were doing and looked towards Nangong Jing.
When Xuanyuan Xingyao saw Nangong Jing with his eyes closed, he guessed that he was probably carving a summoning diagram and had succeeded. He was happy that Nangong Jing could carve a first-level summoning diagram so quickly, but he was also a little worried about what kind of monster he could summon.
For the summoner, it doesn't matter if other monsters are not good, because they can summon new ones after upgrading. But if the summoned natal monster is too low in level or too weak, there is nothing they can do. So no matter which summoner it is, they will feel uneasy when they summon for the first time, for fear that the summoned natal monster will have too poor talent.
Nangong Jing opened his eyes when he sensed the astonishing light, watching anxiously as it gradually dissipated. What kind of monster could it be? His natal monster!!!
"Nether Wolf and Flame Cloud Leopard!!! I didn't expect that Xiao Jing could summon these two kinds of magical beasts on his first summoning. Although the Nether Wolf is only a low-level magical beast that can only be upgraded to level three at most, it is incredibly fast, and the power of its special move, Nether Explosion, is not weak either, not bad. But what surprised me even more was the Flame Cloud Leopard, which is a legendary magical beast that can be upgraded to a divine beast. Although it is only level one and pitifully weak now, it will definitely be invincible as long as it grows up." Even though Liu Gongsheng is knowledgeable, he couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw the magical beasts summoned by Nangong Jing.
Even Han Yan's eyes flashed with surprise. He could tell Nangong Jing was talented and guessed the monster Nangong Jing summoned for the first time would be good, but he hadn't expected it to be this good. Han Yan even envied Nangong Jing for being God's son. This treatment was a bit too good.
