Chapter 41: Apprenticeship Ceremony (4)
Chapter 41: Apprenticeship Ceremony (4)
"Do you like it?" Xuanyuan Xingyao did not say how precious the dagger was, but only asked Nangong Jing whether he liked it or not.
How could Nangong Jing not like it? No boy would not like weapons, let alone such exquisite and sharp weapons.
Nangong Jing nodded honestly and said, "I like it."
"Just accept it if you like it, unless you don't consider me a friend, then return the dagger." Xuanyuan Xingyao said with a faint smile.
Nangong Jing seldom saw Xuanyuan Xingyao smile, so when Xuanyuan Xingyao smiled, Nangong Jing was stunned and even forgot to speak. When Nangong Jing wanted to speak again, Feng Xuanzhou had already arrived and was chattering so much that Nangong Jing had no chance to speak.
So in the end, Nangong Jing accepted the dagger. He didn't say anything, but he remembered Xuanyuan Xingyao's kindness in his heart.
With Feng Xuanzhou's interruption, Nangong Jing slowly regained his composure. When the time was almost up, Nangong Jing walked to where he should be standing.
Xuanyuan Xingyao and Feng Xuanzhou also walked to the place where they were watching the ceremony. Although Xuanyuan Xingyao and Feng Xuanzhou were talented, especially Xuanyuan Xingyao who was a prince, they were only insignificant juniors among this group of strong men. Therefore, the seats for watching the ceremony were initially assigned to the back.
It was just that Nangong Jing told Han Yan that he hoped the two of them could stand in the front. Han Yan then redistributed the positions and directly set aside an area for all the children who came with their elders to watch the ceremony. Among them, Xuanyuan Xingyao and Feng Xuanzhou naturally stood in the front.
Nangong Tao also came here early with Nangong Mu, but he saw that Nangong Jing was either following Han Yan to greet his friends or talking to Xuanyuan Xingyao, so he didn't call anyone.
After greeting the emperor and Han Yan respectively, Nangong Tao quietly sat down in his seat. Given his status and relationship with Nangong Jing, he didn't have to stand and watch the ceremony like some people. As for Nangong Mu, he naturally went to the children's area.
Since it is a ceremony, there must be a host. The host of today's apprenticeship ceremony is none other than Liu Gongfeng, who introduced Nangong Jing to Han Yan.
When Liu Gongsheng knew that Han Yan asked him to preside over the ceremony, he was extremely excited. What did this mean? It meant that Han Yan valued him. Didn't you see that those summoner priests were looking at him with envy?
"Welcome everyone who has come from afar to attend the disciple-taking ceremony of Master Han." Master Liu walked to the middle of the open space and bowed to the powerful people around him to express his gratitude.
Then he walked up to Nangong Jing and introduced him, "Everyone, this child in front of me is the disciple that Han Gongfeng wants to accept today. His name is Nangong Jing, the son of the Duke of Wuling of the Empire. He is five years old this year. He has just awakened his talent and is already a summoner. He summoned a Nether Wolf and a Flame Cloud Leopard for the first time. The Flame Cloud Leopard is his natal beast."
For the powerful people who have lived for hundreds of years, it is nothing for Nangong Jing to become a summoner not long after awakening. After all, they have seen people with better talents.
However, after hearing that Nangong Jing summoned the Nether Wolf for the first time and that his natal magical beast was also the Flame Cloud Leopard, he was a little surprised. He also understood why Han Yan was interested in Nangong Jing. This talent is indeed not bad.
After Liu Gongfeng introduced Nangong Jing's basic information, he took out the talent stick and asked Nangong Jing to test it. As for the talent test, would Han Yan accept someone who did not have the same talent as him as a disciple? It was obvious that it was impossible, so there was no need to test the cultivation attributes.
Nangong Jing had used this innate stick several times, so when Liu Gongfeng took it out, he naturally took the stick and cleared his mind.
Soon, his eight-star aptitude was revealed to everyone, but this time, something seemed amiss. Although it was still eight stars, the ninth trace was faintly glowing white. Could it be that his aptitude could be further improved?
Liu Gongfeng also discovered this. Although it is rare, there have been a few practitioners who have improved their qualifications throughout history. They are just very rare.
Moreover, those people basically had qualifications of five or six stars and their qualifications increased by one or two stars, but there was never anyone like Nangong Jing who had eight stars and had no intention of increasing further.
Although Nangong Jing has not become a nine-star now, if his qualifications really improve, then becoming a nine-star is only a matter of time.
Only people at Han Yan's level could notice the situation of the talent stick. Most people watching the ceremony could only see that Nangong Jing had eight-star qualifications.
Summoners with nine-star qualifications were rare, with most being eight-star. Therefore, when Nangong Jing showed his eight-star qualifications, the other summoners looked at Han Yan with a hint of envy. With such talent, as long as Nangong Jing was well-trained and willing to work hard, Han Yan would have a successor.
After Nangong Jing tested his talent in public, the next thing he had to do was to formally become his disciple.
Han Yan, who had been standing quietly aside, bowed to everyone, then walked to the main seat that had been prepared long ago and sat down, waiting for Nangong Jing to come over to offer tea and pay his respects as his disciple.
