However, Ace still didn’t show his real sword intent, which was an elent sword intent, or Maddux would thoroughly be shocked because elent weapon intents were absolute legend.
That was also why Ace chose to only use his sword intent while hiding his elent intent, or it was more of a disaster than fortune.
Furthermore, with Feng’s status as a Demon Sword Clan mber, he won’t have to worry about others finding it strange that he comprehended a half sword intent.
Everyone knew the Demon Sword Clan had so ancestors who comprehended half sword intent previously, so it would not be so shocking for a descended to comprehend it as well.
It could be said, Ace wanted to take advantage of Thomas’s mysterious background and all he had to do was to show his worth. And it seed it goes quite well!
But he also got to know there were many geniuses in the demon race, and he better not underestimate them as well.
“Please, senior, I’m not worthy of ntioning in the sa breath as His Majesty’s heir.” Ace still acted humbled.
“Very good. You’re indeed worthy of soone who can comprehend a weapon’s intent and still keep it hidden from the world. To resist such temptation and remain humble, you have earned this old man’s respect.”
Maddux figure finally appeared from the cultivation chamber. He was tall and skinny, with a wrinkled face but his eyes were filled with vigorous fire, with his long snowy hair and horns, but one of his horns was cut cleanly. There was definitely a hidden story.
Thomas and Milly were also snapped out of their stupor and their view of Feng had completely changed after they knew Feng had comprehended half sword intent and Maddux praise him so highly.
“Greeting Grandpa Maddux.” They both greeted him.
“Senior!” Feng also followed suit.
“No need to care about these old bones.” Maddux nodded with a faint elderly smile on his wizened face, and he closely looked at Feng.
Ace felt a strong sense envelop him for a movent before completely vanished, but he pretended he noticed nothing since Feng won’t be able to tell this either.
Maddux nodded in satisfaction, “Little Thomas, take little friend Feng to the royal demon council and used your chance. I don’t think anyone is worthier than little friend Feng than that chance.”
Thomas nodded gladly. Evidentially, he felt the sa as Maddux.
“Let’s go, brother Feng. We’re going to the royal demon council. You’re hiding your strength too well, you have to let
experience it myself. I heard weapon cultivators can block soul attacks…”
Ace was soon dragged by an enthusiastic Thomas while feeling a headache when he heard his endless chatter. He didn’t think this guy was a chatterbox.
Milly and Maddux smile wryly when they saw Thomas. They knew Thomas’s character was like this. If he considered soone his friend, he would treat them sincerely.
Milly suddenly asked, “Grandpa, that Feng really just showed us half sword intent?” she was still sowhat in disbelief since Feng’s background was just too… ordinary.
Maddux’s eyes shined mysteriously and said, “Yes, that little guy is indeed full of surprises. Even I sensed nothing until he showed it himself.”
“But will it be ok if we don’t bind him with an oath contract?” Milly questioned, with a hint of worry.
“I think that Feng didn’t have any ulterior motives for us. He didn’t know about us, and it was little Thomas who approached him, not the other way around. We also know everything about him, but he seed nothing like what we found information about him. It seed he wanted to remain low-key because of the ocean demon tribe. Or do you really think they would let such a threat to their position let flourish right under their nose?
“Now that the demon gate trial has been announced, this Feng decided to show his real fangs, but if he didn’t have any real protection, he was still venerable to other sches.
“I think that’s why he dared to show his half sword intent to you guys because he thinks you can give him that protection he needed and this also showed his sincerity and resolve.
“I don’t think if you want him to take an oath, he would reject you either. Rembered my little Milly. Sotis sincerity is worth more than a strong grantee.”
Maddux patiently advised as he looked at Milly dotingly.
“I understand grandpa, it seed I still have much to learn.” Milly seriously nodded.
Maddux nodded in gratification, “Don’t push yourself too hard, that little brat has indeed eyes for treasures.”
He suddenly mumbled, “I seed we’re getting ahead of other heirs with Feng at our side, and we didn’t even reach the king domain yet. If we can get three… no, two more sturdy youths like Feng, Thomas’s chances of entering one of three demon institutes will increase trendously.”
Milly nodded, “I never thought Thomas’s whim of coming here will bear such a fruit, while the other hires were directly going toward the king domains. But Tribe Leader really chose a vicious thod to choose an heir for the chief position. He wanted them to fight tooth and nail with each other…” her eyes were icy when she ntioned this.
Maddux sighed ruefully and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t let Thomas die with so underhanded sche… but I just hope he can keep his life on the upcoming demon gate trail. The entire demon race boiling right now, and I don’t think Feng would be the only dark horse. There are many tribes with grand ambitions, and they won’t let this chance of ascension slip through their finger.”
“Why can’t we just run away? It’s not like soone will co to look for us.” Milly said with a dejected expression.
Maddux shook his head serenely, “You know Thomas better than . Will he stop if you want him to? Even if he stopped, I know you can never forgive yourself for seizing such an opportunity from him. Even if not for this abrupt, heirs trial, Thomas would still head toward the royal zone and I know you would never stop him…”
Milly’s eyes suddenly turned teary…
