"The Wolf God Mo Mo is so terrifying..." the monster said fearfully as it slumped to the ground.
"Big sister! Wait for us!" Wang Zi quickly followed after them.
"Sister! This is too exciting!" Qin Jing exclaimed helplessly as she ran up after her.
At this very moment, inside a training room in the middle school district, Ya Zi was walking out with a tall, voluptuous girl with long legs and blue hair.
Ya Zi came here on behalf of Qiong Qi. He had just had a martial arts match with this blue-haired girl in the training room, which was also a test for her.
Great demons don't engage in duels lightly; every fight must have a legitimate reason.
The contest with the blue-haired girl was to determine her aptitude, and it could also be said to be a routine before a yokai advances to become a great yokai.
Each great demon possesses unique and wondrous abilities and physical talents, but they all share three things in common. First, they have the ability to completely conceal their aura and perfectly transform into human form;
Secondly, in addition to developing the application of qi and momentum, the ability to materialize qi and momentum is also known as the domain.
The last requirement is gaining the approval of other powerful demons. As for how to gain approval, the easiest and most direct way is naturally to fight them.
Back then, Ya Zi gained the recognition of the great demons by challenging the Wolf God and surviving. She spent half a year in the hospital consolidating her combat methods before advancing to the next level.
The blue-haired girl next to Ya Zi also passed her test this time.
"Congratulations, Falcon Qing, you've taken this step so quickly. It will take three months to six months to consolidate your progress. Once you've done that, you'll officially become a Great Demon," Ya Zi said with a smile.
"Thank you." The blue-haired woman, who had been half-asleep with her eyes half-closed, lazily scratched her head and replied in a soft voice, as if she didn't care about the matter at all.
But this very girl truly broke through the threshold to become a great demon, combining qi and momentum to form a unique fighting style that can also be called the domain of a great demon.
Just like the imposing weight of a mountain, it can block attacks from multiple enemies. Combined with its own characteristic of becoming stronger the stronger it is, it forms a fighting style that forces opponents to engage in a direct confrontation with it.
Or perhaps it's like encountering a powerful black panther in a tunnel, who combines the characteristics of claws and stealth to become an unparalleled assassin, capable of appearing in the darkness at any time and disappearing at will.
"Since you passed the test, I'm off. There's a banquet tonight. I wanted to invite you to celebrate and have a few drinks, but since you're still a student, I'll leave it for now. I won't let you off the hook next time. By the way, your figure doesn't look like a student at all! How did you grow up like that?" Ya Zi patted the shoulder of the blue-haired girl who was half a head taller than him, laughing and scolding.
"Hey, please let me go..." The blue-haired girl, Hayabusa, who was being slapped and swaying, pleaded weakly. What was the point of drinking with a bunch of uncles and aunties? She might as well find a place to lie down and take a nap.
"Sister Ya Zi!!"
Just then, a shout came from the sky, followed by a figure falling rapidly from the sky, shattering the earth and sending shockwaves through the ground. It was Mo Mo who had rushed here at breakneck speed.
"Oh! Isn't this Momo? You've grown up! Long time no see!" Upon seeing the newcomer, Ya Zi greeted the black-haired girl with a smile.
"I've been waiting for this day for a long time! Let's have another fight! Draw your prized weapon!" Mo Mo said, his body radiating immense demonic energy as he stared intently at Ya Zi.
"Momo, you should know very well that powerful demons cannot be attacked lightly." Yazi put away his smile and rejected Momo's suggestion.
"Then what exactly is going on between you and this guy, Junqing?" As soon as Momo arrived, he noticed with just a glance that Yazi and Qingfa both had signs of a battle. Judging from the chaotic demonic energy emanating from the training room, the battle had just ended.
"This is the principal's request; it's a legitimate test," Ya Ziping explained calmly.
"Test? Then you can test me too!" Momo waved his hand, unwilling to give up.
“Momo! Although I also hate these rules and regulations, these are the rules! When you cross the threshold, I will be your tester,” Ya Zi said.
"The threshold! Falcon, have you combined your aura and momentum? Have you passed the test?" Momo asked the tall, blue-haired woman in surprise.
"Hmm, it seems so." Junqing yawned, wiping away the few tears welling up in her squinting eyes, and said casually.
"How did you do that?" Momo asked curiously. Her demonic energy had long exceeded the limits of a demon, but she was still unable to combine her energy with her aura.
"Ha, I just practiced for a few days and suddenly I did it." Hayabusa yawned again. She simply trained as usual and naturally became stronger, nothing more. Compared to thinking about complicated things, Hayabusa felt that a good night's sleep was much more comfortable.
Chapter 170, Page 103: Exchanging a punch with Ya Zi
Momo turned his head and looked seriously at Junqing beside him. Junqing's long blue hair was a little messy, probably because she had been sleeping. She squinted her eyes and looked like she hadn't woken up yet. She really couldn't see the spirit and temperament that a strong person should have.
'Yazi said this lazy fellow passed the test? He achieved the materialization of qi and momentum before me, which means Falcon is stronger than me now?'
As the Four Heavenly Kings, even though they have different strengths, they are all top students in the academy, so their strength should be roughly equal. Among them, Momo, who specializes in combat, should be considered one of the more capable fighters.
Momo had considered challenging other Heavenly Kings to duels before, but she always declined with various excuses. As for this Falcon, he was practically never seen on ordinary days.
Among the Four Heavenly Kings, Hayabusa is the most mysterious. A year ahead of Momo, no demon has ever witnessed Hayabusa's true strength except in formal large-scale competitions. All that is known is that, according to rumors, Hayabusa is incredibly fast, faster than any of the other students.
"Damn it! I've fallen behind! I was hoping to be the first to advance to the Great Demon level and graduate!" Mo Mo had no choice but to accept this fact, and then looked at Ya Zi and asked, "Sister Ya Zi! How about the usual rule, let's find a secluded place and have a match, okay?"
“No, Momo, this kind of fighting is meaningless and completely uninteresting.” Ya Zi shook her head. Although she loved fighting, she also hated boring battles.
"We've fought before! Even though you're already a great demon, I've gotten stronger too, so it's sure to be a good fight," Momo persisted.
"Momo, step back! Don't you understand? There's no point in fighting me now." Ya Zi said in a deep voice, looking at the black-haired girl.
"How will we know if we don't fight them!" Mo Mo roared angrily, stomping his foot and disappearing instantly, unleashing a powerful punch at Ya Zi.
"I've already said it! This is pointless!" Ya Zi said, raising his fist and retaliating. When Mo Mo's powerful fist touched the opponent's fist, it was like hitting a solid wall, failing to shake the opponent in the slightest. Instead, the powerful and violent demonic energy shattered his own fist.
Momo stared in shock at her fist, which was cracked in several places and dripping blood. She was in a daze. The fist she had just thrown felt like it was blocked by a towering mountain range from ancient times, which she could only look up at but could not climb over.
She had been practicing desperately lately, and the increased demonic power she had gained was like a child with strength trying to hit a wall with a hammer, but unable to reach the target behind the wall.
"Mo Mo, your demonic power and the strength of your fists are indeed strong enough, but power alone is meaningless in front of a great demon," Ya Zi said calmly, lowering his hand.
With great power comes great responsibility. Great demons are powerful beings capable of disrupting social rules and order, but precisely because of this, they should abide by the rules and even personally uphold them.
Otherwise, if they all act recklessly and disrupt the order, then the great demon will be nothing more than a wild beast with greater destructive power, and in the end, it will only bring destruction.
"Damn it!" Momo clenched her fist tightly, drawing even more blood, but she was completely oblivious. She had thought that now that she was older, she could have a serious fight with Ya Zi, but the gap between them had only widened.
The difference between great demons is like an insurmountable chasm, completely on two different levels, like heaven and earth. Simply having powerful aura is incomparable to being able to materialize that aura.
Even if Momo has the insight and understanding to see through the opponent's moves, she cannot do that by imitation.
If demonic energy is energy, then 'momentum' is more of a mental force, a spiritual will. Combining the energy of the mind with that of the body is no easy task.
The method to master this power cannot be summarized or taught, because every being is unique, and the rhythm of demonic energy and inner thoughts can never be the same.
The only thing known is that each great demon mastered the combination of 'qi' and 'shi' only after honing both 'qi' (energy) and 'shi' (spiritual will) to their extremes.
On the plaza, Momo let the blood drip from the cracks in his fist, still unable to recover from such a humiliating defeat.
"I was hoping to sit down and catch up with you, but that's enough!" Ya Zi wouldn't show any pity, offer any advice, or do anything unnecessary.
"Hmm? It's already over?" Hayabusa asked in confusion, her eyes half-closed and looking half-asleep.
"I'm leaving! If you want to challenge me, come back after you advance!" Ya Zi turned and left without looking back.
Momo watched Ya Zi's departing figure, gritting her teeth, but she didn't pursue her further. The pain in her fist reminded her of the gap in their abilities. Was it really as Ya Zi said, that she wasn't even qualified to be her opponent?
But it's impossible to make the demon admit defeat! If I'm not strong enough now, then I'll just become stronger!
"Hmph! Fine, you're gone! Since the great demon is unwilling to fight me, how about you, Hayabusa, the great demon candidate, fight me? As a student of Hourai Academy, I formally challenge you!" Momo pointed at the blue-haired girl and issued a challenge to the Four Heavenly Kings.
As the pinnacle of the academy, the Four Heavenly Kings enjoy privileges and are respected and worshipped, but they also have the obligation to accept challenges from other students. However, this does not apply among the Four Heavenly Kings themselves.
"Hmm, this seems like a lot of trouble, let's forget about it." Hearing Momo's words, Shunqing slowly shook her head and said.
"If you have the ability to refuse, then try!" Mo Mo withdrew her demonic energy, condensing it within her body without leaking out the slightest bit, and assumed a stance ready to attack, a thin silver film appearing on her skin.
"Concealing demonic energy" is a manifestation of cultivating one's energy to a certain level, and it is also one of the three criteria for advancing to the level of a great demon.
Only when a person enters this state can they achieve the most perfect transformation, and even Qin Jing's eyes cannot discern their true form.
"Wolf God Academy...so troublesome..." Falcon Qing muttered discontentedly, squinting, as turquoise wings sprouted from its hands, ready to fly away.
"Big sister!" At this moment, Wang Zi and Qin Jing finally arrived.
"Did you run into Sister Ya Zi?" Qin Jing looked around curiously, only seeing onlookers nearby, but not the figure of the dragon girl wearing a cheongsam with two sharp weapons hanging between her thighs.
Originally intending to fly away to avoid trouble, Falcon Qing folded her wings, because she had met someone who interested her.
"Ah! Aren't you Xiao Jing?" Junqing ran up to Qin Jing and said happily.
"Ah! Big sister on the rooftop." When Qin Jing heard this unique, soft, and cute voice and saw this voluptuous woman with long blue hair and long legs, she instantly recalled memories of the other person.
Section 171, Page 104: The Sky God's Name is Hayabusa.
Under the astonished gazes of Momo and Wangzi.
Just a moment ago, Hayabusa looked sleepy and seemed indifferent to everything, but now she smiled and started chatting with the boy.
"What a coincidence, we meet again." Junqing said with a smile to Qin Jing. Her voice was still gentle and languid, but it had a sweetness to it. Just by hearing her voice, you could feel her joy.
"This is the middle school district, so it's quite normal to run into each other, right?" Qin Jing joked with a smile. However, he was quite happy to see this soft and gentle older sister who used to make him feel relaxed just by chatting with her.
The blue-haired girl and the black-haired boy cast long shadows in the setting sun, talking while looking at each other's faces, occasionally revealing a knowing smile.
"Wait! Wait!!" Momo, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore. What kind of atmosphere was this? It felt like there was something fishy going on!
Seeing this, Momo said with great displeasure, "Little brother! What's going on over there? Your sister, with whom you made a contract, is injured!"
"Huh? But for such a small injury, can't you just lick it yourself?" Qin Jing asked in surprise. When had her fierce sister, who could dismantle a Gundam, ever been so delicate?
“Although it’s true… as my brother, you can’t get close to that woman! She’s an enemy! An enemy!” Mo Mo pulled Qin Jing over unhappily.
"Hey? Xiaojing, you're not a wolf, are you? Why are you the younger brother of the Wolf God Institute?" Hayabusa asked in confusion.
"This is my sworn brother! I made a contract with him on his first day at the academy and took him in as my little brother! He's not only rich, but also smart, and he can cook a lot of delicious dishes!" Momo said provocatively, looking at Shunqing with a boastful expression.
"That's right! Our Xiaojing is amazing!" Wangzi chimed in from the side.
"Hey? Xiaojing's cooking is really good? That's great, I want to eat too." Junqing squinted at Qin Jing and said with great interest.
"Ah, how about we go together tonight..." Qin Jing hadn't finished speaking.
"Don't even think about it! We don't welcome you!" Momo interrupted, feeling extremely annoyed for some reason.
They didn't have much interaction among the Four Heavenly Kings, but from today onwards, Momo hated Falcon Qing the most. Despite his great strength, he couldn't muster any enthusiasm for anything and was unwilling to fight with him, yet he would smile and approach his younger brother.
And that figure, those incredibly long legs, and that explosively magnificent... how did they grow up like that?! We're in the same grade!
Mo Mo, who was already annoyed, became increasingly upset the more he thought about it, and thought frantically.
"Ah, I've got it. Wolf God Academy, didn't you just challenge me? The condition for the challenge is that this child can do it, right?" Falcon Qing asked with a smile, pointing at Qin Jing.
"Huh?" Qin Jing, who was lying down after being shot, looked completely bewildered.
"Falcon! Do you know what you're saying?" Momo glared at Falcon, demanding that the wolf clan hand over their kin. It was like a human telling a man he wanted to sleep with his wife—the most blatant insult.
"Even if it's one of the Four Heavenly Kings! It's unforgivable!" Wang Zi said angrily, glaring at them.
"Huh? Is that not allowed? I get along much better with Xiaojing than with you," Junqing said regretfully, pressing her finger to her lips.
"Rejected! Rejected! And Xiao Jing! What's going on? Explain this to me!" Mo Mo refused decisively, but glared angrily at Qin Jing and asked.
"No, I just chatted with this older sister on the rooftop," Qin Jing, who was caught in the crossfire, said, waving her hands.
"But we do get along very well, right?" Junqing appeared behind Qin Jing in an instant, hugged him, and asked affectionately.
Indeed, chatting with this older woman felt like talking to a close friend. Even though they were talking about trivial things, his agitated mood gradually calmed down. And the soft, warm touch he felt now made him feel very relaxed.
"Little brother!!" Mo Mo shouted angrily at Qin Jing, who was lost in thought and had tacitly agreed. How could she, as her little brother, betray him and side with outsiders!
"Well, big sister, although we get along very well, I've known Sister Momo for almost a year now, and I have no complaints whatsoever, let alone want to break off our relationship," Qin Jing said, breaking free from Junqing's embrace.
Junqing smiled and pulled Qin Jing into her arms again, suggesting in a soft voice, "Really? What a pity. But Jing, how about you make a contract with me and become my younger brother too?"
"Ugh... Breathing..." This time, she was held even tighter, and her face was pressed against something soft and warm, making it difficult for her to breathe. She could only open her mouth to help herself breathe.
"I absolutely disagree!!" Mo Mo looked at Falcon Qing with the same eyes he had when he looked at his mortal enemy.
"This won't work, that won't work, Wolf God Momo, what exactly do you want! Let's have a fight at the Martial God Festival! If you lose, you'd better shut your mouth from now on."
The aura emanating from Falcon Qing changed. Her previously narrowed eyes opened to reveal sharp, golden pupils that could pierce through one's heart, as she scanned Mo Mo.
Apart from Qin Jing, who was being held and completely unaware, both Wang Zi and the monsters watching from the sidelines immediately changed their expressions, as if they had been frightened, and their bodies trembled.
The Sky Clan member standing nearby knelt on one knee and exclaimed, "Truly worthy of being our Sky God!"
"Hahaha! Perfect! Right here at the Martial God Festival, let me prove that I am stronger than you!" Only Mo Mo, upon hearing Jun Qing's words, became excited and burst into laughter.
"Then it's settled. Xiao Jing, wait a few more weeks, and you'll be my little brother. No one can stop us." Junqing said, patting Qin Jing's head. His voice was still gentle, but it seemed to carry a forceful sense of demanding agreement.
"Haa..." Qin Jing said helplessly. Only then did he see the older sister's eyes. The blue-haired girl who opened her eyes was completely different from her previous soft and weak temperament. She was quite imposing. Her golden pupils seemed to contain the wisdom to see through all things, and her eyebrows and eyes had the domineering aura of dominating everything.
Her eyes held an arrogant air, as if she disregarded everything, yet everything was under her control.
Falcon is the Goddess of the Sky, the King of Birds, and the nominal Queen of the Sky Clan. Although she is naturally lazy and never interferes in affairs, all members of the Sky Clan worship and adore her as a princess and queen. Due to the Sky Clan's spontaneous actions, she actually holds the greatest influence among the Four Heavenly Kings of the Academy.
There were still two weeks until the start of the academy's triennial 'Martial God Festival'.
