Shen Yu never imagined that one day, her brother, who was almost invisible, would attract so much attention.
He was the apple of everyone's eye in the Shen Family family, praised by elders and envied by his peers. He was always the pride of heaven. But when he arrived at the Yin-Yang Academy, he was completely brought down to earth. There were many people with extraordinary talents there. In his first year of school, he almost failed the minimum elimination test. Only then did he realize how insignificant the Shen Family was and how big the world was!
Now, those who stand at the pinnacle of the warlock world, those who would normally find it difficult to even get a second glance from him, have all come for his elder brother, and have all turned their attention to that person.
What exactly did that clown do?
Void Formation Drawing?
He'd rather believe his dog could climb trees!
He desperately wanted to question and reprimand them in public, but he didn't dare; he didn't even have the courage to speak.
" Shen Family's eldest son?" The one who spoke was an old man, the most senior and prestigious person present, none other than Du Kangnian, the vice dean of the Yin-Yang Academy!
"Who are you?" Shen Yuan's calm voice rang out.
"How dare you!" Shen Yu snapped out of her daze and finally had a chance to interject, "This is Dean Du of my Yin-Yang Academy. How dare you speak to your elder like this?"
After reprimanding him, Shen Yu quickly turned to Du Kangnian: "I'm sorry, Dean Du, my good-for-nothing older brother failed to get into the academy back then and has little knowledge of your abilities. I apologize on his behalf."
"Is that Shen Family's eldest son?" Du Kangnian completely ignored the noisy Shen Yu behind him, his eyes never leaving Shen Yuan.
Shen Yu's voice abruptly stopped, his face turning bright red, because no one was paying attention to him. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Shen Yuan, making him look like a clown on a stage.
"Well, if my father didn't have any other illegitimate children, I should be the eldest in the family," Shen Yuan said with a smile.
Shen Yan frowned. What kind of nonsense was this?
However, to be so relaxed while being watched by so many important figures, this kid has quite the nerve, to say the least.
"Shen Lang is quite witty." Du Kangnian smiled as he looked at the other party. As a top-tier Above First Rank sorcerer, he could tell at a glance that Shen Yuan's energy was at most that of Fifth Rank sorcerer. Although he was not bad for his age, it was clearly not commensurate with the rumored abilities.
"Even I'm embarrassed by this lame joke, the old folks really know how to flatter me." Shen Yuan looked at everyone. "I've been traveling in a hurry and I'm a bit tired, so I won't keep you all company any longer. I still need to let my mother know I'm safe."
He turned to leave, and everyone stared in disbelief. Did this kid really not take them seriously?
Shen Yan frowned, about to reprimand him, but Du Kangnian spoke first, "You just said that Void Formation Drawing is a basic technique?"
What's the problem?
"Could you demonstrate it for me, so that I may broaden my horizons?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yan, who was about to reprimand him, shut his mouth. He didn't really believe that Shen Yuan could Void Formation Drawing.
That's a god-level skill, after all!
"Why should I demonstrate it to you?" Shen Yuan stared coldly at the other party.
Everyone was stunned; no one had expected this young man from the Shen Family to be so arrogant.
"Insolence!" Shen Yan saw that things were not going well and immediately scolded him. Just as he was about to continue speaking, he saw Shen Yuan suddenly turn around and look at him. His cold eyes made him speechless!
Warlocks always have a premonition of danger; he instinctively sensed the peril, a danger that rendered him instantly speechless!
But after realizing what she was doing, she was immediately filled with shame and anger. What was this little brat trying to do?
However, not knowing the extent of Shen Yuan's abilities, he was at a loss as to what to do with him.
" Shen Yuan!!"
A sharp female voice startled Shen Yuan. He turned around and saw the person he had thought about the most when he was working in a foreign land.
"How dare you speak to your elders like that?" The woman was Madam Zheng, who had rushed over. Although she didn't know where her eldest son got such audacity, she instinctively stepped forward to reprimand him.
Shen Yan's brows furrowed deeply as he watched. What was this woman doing, causing trouble at a time like this?
Shen Yu, realizing the situation was amiss, quickly said, "Mother, you should go back first!"
Seeing the angry looks in the eyes of both father and son, Madam Zheng felt a pang of guilt, but still gritted her teeth and said, "Do whatever your elders tell you to do, and don't talk back!"
Shen Yan grew increasingly impatient. This little brat didn't even respect him, and you're just adding fuel to the fire?
Just as she was about to reprimand him, Shen Yuan turned around and respectfully bowed, saying, "Yes, Mother."
Shen Yan and Shen Yu were both stunned. Before they could react, they saw Shen Yuan looking at Du Kangnian's position. "Old man, if you want to see, I'll let you see, but considering your age, I'm afraid you can't take the strain. How about we find someone else?"
Shen Family: "."
Is this kid crazy??
"Haha!" Du Kangnian laughed loudly, "Young man, you have such high spirits! Go ahead and make your move. Although I'm old, my bones are still quite strong!"
The others looked coldly at Shen Yuan, unsure of where this young man from the Shen Family got his confidence.
After all, everyone present was First Rank sorcerer; who couldn't see that this kid's background was less than Fifth Rank?
"Is that so?" Shen Yuan's eyes instantly turned emerald green. "Then old man, take a good look!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a dragon's roar soared into the sky, and immense magical energy erupted like a volcano, instantly shocking everyone and causing them to retreat!
Azure Dragon Spell??--
Five days ago:
" Shen Yuan, this Azure Dragon Formation is incredibly complex. Are you sure you want to use this formation to perform a divine feat in front of others?"
The one who asked the question was Chen Qing. He was also taken aback by Shen Yuan's audacity. Was this kid really going to go to such lengths just to show off?
"We must use this!" Shen Yuan said with unusual firmness, "Otherwise, we won't be able to deter them. Rest assured, my lord, I have been personally taught by Dean Chen since I first learned about formations. I know the structure of the Azure Dragon Spell Formation by heart, and there will be absolutely no problem."
"You really dare to say that," Chen Qing rolled her eyes at the other person, "How about... we use the Four Symbols Formation?"
" The Four Symbols Formation is too gentle, and temporarily storing energy is too wasteful. The Azure Dragon Formation is different. Great Azure Mountain has plenty of energy for the Azure Dragon Spell Formation, which can be used directly."
"It can be used, but it's very difficult to use. If you make a mistake, you might blow up your Shen Family."
"That's fine then," Shen Yuan laughed. "I've disliked that family for a long time, let's just blow them up."
"Bullshit! It's a small matter if your Shen Family is gone, but if you're gone, I'll suffer a huge loss. Do you think it's easy to cultivate a talent like you?" Chen Qing couldn't help but tap the other man on the head. "I'm only giving you one chance to demonstrate. If you fail, this is over!"
Touching his head, Shen Yuan stared blankly at Chen Qing, speechless for a moment.
"What are you standing there for? Let's go, to Great Azure Mountain!"
"Oh"
--
Outside the Shen Family mansion, Wei Gongzhan blankly at the dragon's roar soaring into the sky and asked, "Will this work?"
"How would I know?" Shen Laoqi rolled his eyes and said, "If you ask me, the master is being capricious. Is this kind of thing something you can just give to a child?"
The Azure Dragon Formation's energy, pure energy, is like an uncontrollable explosive if taken out, and it's directly inscribed on Shen Yuan's body. If things go wrong, half of the capital city could be blown up. It's fortunate that Chen Qing is so carefree, making him extremely cautious the whole way. After all, who wouldn't be nervous carrying such a human bomb?
"However," Shen Laoqi said, gazing at the dragon's roar in the sky, "That kid Shen Yuan does indeed have talent. During the training at Great Azure Mountain, Chen Qing said he would only give him one chance. To be on the safe side, he spared no expense and made him demonstrate ten times, intending to make him give up the idea if he made just one mistake. But..."
"That kid never missed a single one!!"
--
"Retreat!!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment. The azure light flashed, and the terrifying energy sent chills down their spines. How could a mere Fifth Rank youth possess such terrifying magical power?
If this were to explode, half of Beijing would probably be blown up!!
"Sorry, you can't back down." Shen Yuan looked at Du Kangnian, whose expression had changed drastically and who was about to activate the spell to escape. He then drew a line in the air with one hand. At this moment, everyone saw that such terrifying energy was as docile as ink in the boy's hand. The world was the canvas, and the vast energy was the ink. He was truly drawing an array in the void.
Moreover, the speed was extremely fast; with gestures that were almost invisible, a complex magic array was formed in an instant!
"Lock!"
As Shen Yuan coldly uttered the word, it became law, and Du Kangnian was instantly enveloped in a blue light, unable to cast the spell in his hand for a moment!
" Demon-Sealing Formation?" Du Kangnian was taken aback.
The speed at which the opponent set up the formation was simply unbelievable. The magic array could form so quickly! What an incredibly complex formation Demon-Sealing Formation is! Even those old fogies in the Ministry of Works who have studied magic arrays for centuries, with ample materials, would need at least half a day to Anti-Magic Array, not even including adjustments.
That's overconfident!
If I had known this would happen, I should have activated the spell from the beginning. Now I'm completely at their mercy.
As he thought this, he was immediately sealed off by the surrounding magical energy, and the world turned completely blue!
"Seal!" Shen Yuan formed a hand seal, and the entire Demon-Sealing Formation instantly contracted, compressing Du Kangnian into a thumb-sized crystal that floated in mid-air!
At this moment, everyone felt threatened and activated their own spells, watching Shen Yuan with extreme vigilance!
From a distant high-rise building, Wei Gongzhan, who had witnessed this scene using Seventh Master Shen's Thousand Eyes Technique, asked curiously, "This Elder Du is a renowned sorcerer, how come he has no power to resist at all?"
"Sealed by the Great Demon-Sealing Formation, what's the point of resisting?" Seventh Master Shen rolled his eyes. " Du Kangnian's technique is called ' Refracting Mirror,' which allows him to leap through light and shadow. It's a very practical technique. To be honest, in a direct confrontation, many First Rank martial artists would die if they weren't careful. This kid is quite bold, using this person as a test subject. However, Du Kangnian was too confident. His technique was sealed before it could even be activated. He obviously didn't expect Shen Yuan to be able to draw the array instantly. Now he's completely lost face."
Wei Gongzhan: "."
Inside the courtyard, the air was deathly silent!
Neither the members of other prominent families nor the Shen Family spoke; the scene before them was simply too shocking!
With a casual wave of his hand, Shen Yuan instantly retracted the vast magical energy, which flowed back continuously to the runes inscribed on his body.
"Has everyone seen it clearly?"
Everyone: "."
"Since no one speaks, then I'll take it as you've all seen clearly. I'm tired from my journey, so I won't keep you company any longer." With that, he bowed to the distant, equally stunned Madam Zheng and said, "Then, Mother, I'll take my leave."
