069 〈Prodigy〉
Winter.
It was snowing outside the door, and although it did not turn the world into a white expanse, it also occupied most of the colors of the world, making the world a little monotonous.
Inside a luxurious mansion, the atmosphere is quite lively compared to the cold outside the mansion.
At this time, many people wearing kimonos gathered in a dojo-like place and stood around, leaving a large area in the middle.
Gathered around such a place, these people talked in a whisper, and at the same time looked at the two teenagers in the field intently.
It was two people of the same age, and at a cursory glance, you could see that one of them was older, and the other was more immature, both wearing kimonos, and around them stood a puppet with no facial features.
The man named Akabane Sky View sat cross-legged on the first place, watching this scene from afar, and only after half a ring did he nod to a presiding figure.
The other party immediately understood, stepped forward, came to the middle of the two teenagers, and raised his hand.
"The puppet drill between Lord Akabane Tianquan and Lord Akabane Narujin begins now, and both sides salute."
Hearing this, the young man named Akabane Tianquan and Akabane Narugami stepped forward at the same time.
The temperament of these two teenagers is also completely different, one seems atmospheric and calm, and the other seems lazy and childish, forming two very sharp contrasts.
However, everyone present looked at these two teenagers with completely different styles, and there was only one emotion in their eyes.
That's respect.
Under the gaze of this gaze, the two began to salute each other.
Immediately, surging magic power surged out of the two of them.
"Buzz!"
With a slight hum in the air, the magic turned into pure power, acting on the puppets around the two of them.
In the next second, the silhouettes of these puppets flashed with a faint ghostly light, making these pure wooden products actually start to move.
The number is six.
Of course, this is only the number of puppets that move, there are twenty puppets standing next to the two teenagers, ten on each side, and now only three of them are moving.
The six puppets seemed to be pulled by invisible threads, and they ran forward as if they had been brought to life.
Immediately afterward, the six puppets began a fierce battle.
It was definitely a tough enough fight.
The six puppets were mixed together, and although they had no weapons in their hands, they all looked like soldiers who had undergone rigorous training in every move, and the fists and kicks displayed were not called kung fu, but they could be called skills, and they fought in an orderly manner.
And it wasn't just three one-on-one battles.
Sometimes, some puppets will suddenly abandon the enemy in front of them and run towards the puppet next to them that shows their backs and launch attacks.
Sometimes, some puppets will jump up and switch places with the puppets behind them, joining forces to launch an enemy.
Sometimes, some puppets will block all the puppets on the other side alone, allowing the other two puppets to escape and take the opportunity to sneak attack.
Sometimes, the three puppets will even form an incomparably mysterious formation, making the coordination and movement between each other extremely powerful, and the combat power will increase sharply, showing amazing suppressive power.
It's so intricate that it's hard to believe that this is something that a puppet made of wood can do.
In fact, of course, this is not easy to do.
If it weren't for the manipulation of the two teenagers behind each other, this scene would not have been able to take shape at all.
The magic power of the two teenagers squandered wantonly, constantly rolling up the brilliance and flashing around them.
The eyes of the two were also looking at each other, and they both had a slight smile on their faces.
After a while, the calm young man spoke first.
"It's progressing again, Narujin, and your 'Mindfulness' is purer than last time."
The boy named Akabane Tianquan praised the other party like a gentle big brother.
In this regard, the lazy and childish teenager couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Brother Tian, are you sarcastic about me?"
The boy who was given the name Akabane Narujin said this angrily.
"Even if my 'Mind Movement' has improved a lot, it's still just the 'first ladder', and the cooperation between the puppets you just showed and the formation that is not chaotic at all is clearly what 'Sky Eye' can do, right? That's the "Sixth Tier", isn't it? ”
Literally, it can be seen that this "sixth tier" is undoubtedly more superb than the "first tier" stuff.
In this regard, Akabane Tianquan shook his head.
"The so-called "ladder" only refers to the difficulty and height, not the intensity, and the "Heavenly Eye" and "Mind Movement" are two completely different techniques, and it is not possible to distinguish between strength and weakness in this way."
This sentence made the young man named Akabane Narugami nod his head in deep agreement, revealing a sly smile.
"Brother Tian is right, in order to prove that what Brother Tian said is true, I will increase the strength of the 'Mind Movement' and see if your 'Heavenly Eye' can keep up."
As the words fell, the magic power on Akabane Narugami rose up, turning into pure power again, acting on the puppets around him.
Immediately afterwards, the remaining seven puppets also moved and joined the battle.
"Actually manipulating ten?"
There was a bit of commotion among the people around.
You know, the more puppets you manipulate, the more mana you need to consume, and the difficulty of manipulation will increase exponentially, which is not so easy to do.
But Akabane Narujin did it easily, and let him join the battle.
"Good guy, I actually hid a hand, so I won't hide it."
Akabane Tianquan couldn't help but laugh, and he actually sent a large amount of magic power, manipulating the remaining seven puppets around him, so that they also joined the battle.
As a result, a total of twenty puppets completely occupied the entire dojo, and a more fierce battle began, so that the sound of wood colliding with each other resounded throughout the audience.
Looking at this scene, although Akabane Sky Watch, who was sitting in the first place, didn't say anything, his eyes showed a look of satisfaction, and he was faintly a little proud.
After a while, Akabane raised his hand.
"That's it."
In a word, the sound that resounded throughout the audience stopped.
The twenty puppets that were staggered in the field also stopped at the same time, and in the pull of the magic power, they returned to the side of the two Akabane brothers.
Looking at this subtle manipulation, the people around finally began to make noise.
"It's really worthy of Young Master Tianquan and Young Master Mingshen."
"The 'Tendo' and 'Prodigy' of our Akabane clan really deserve their name."
"Miss Nadeshiko is not bad, although she is not as good as Young Master Tianquan and Young Master Narujin, but at least she is a genius who can be recorded in the history of our clan."
"Compared with the two young masters and young misses, Young Master Lei Zhen is..."
This sound kept ringing, which changed the lively atmosphere in the air slightly, and also cast a haze in the eyes of the first Akabane Sky Watch.
Akabane Tianquan lowered his head, faintly worried.
It was Akabane Narugami or Luo Zhen who couldn't help but sigh when he looked at this situation.
