Chapter 40: Manipulating the Weather

……

Just as Lv Cheng and Tang Yue were talking about life, the duel between Mo Fan and Yu Ang had already ended.

Natural Dual Elements—this talent immediately drew competition from all the major forces present, making him even more sought after than Lv Cheng's Sub-dragon Summoned Beast from before.

Mu Zhuoyun, not wanting to offend such a young genius, also took the initiative to lower his stance and reconciled with the Mo Family.

The duel concluded successfully.

"Natural Dual Elements, to think Mo Fan actually possesses such a talent..."

Looking at Mo Fan in the arena, who was surrounded like the moon among the stars, Tang Yue was still somewhat surprised.

In a tiny Bo City, two young people with special innate talents had appeared in succession.

"What, having a change of heart already?" Lv Cheng looked heartbroken.

"What a heartless woman..."

"Change of heart my foot!" Tang Yue gave Lv Cheng a sharp swat.

"You probably knew about it long ago, didn't you?"

Lv Cheng's talent is no worse than Mo Fan's.

Not to mention the Summoning Element; he brought out a Sub-dragon back at the Initial Stage.

His Fire Element comes with a special Domain; Fire Element Magic within the same rank cannot cause Lv Cheng any damage at all!

And then, this guy's Psychic Element is also a bug!

It is no exaggeration to say that anyone with Spiritual Power lower than Lv Cheng's is no different from a toy in front of him!

Plus, this guy's cultivation speed is like a joke!

Fire Element has a special talent, Intermediate Level Grade 3!

Summoning Element is more difficult, Intermediate Level Grade 2!

The Psychic Element, which he awakened less than a year ago, has actually soared to Intermediate Level Grade 2 as well!

She really finds it hard to imagine just how terrifying Lv Cheng's Spiritual Power talent is.

How can the Summoning Element and Psychic Element, which are closely related to Spiritual Power, grow so fast?

"Wait, you wouldn't be trying to use him as a shield for yourself, would you?" Tang Yue's expression turned strange.

Lv Cheng has been quiet for over a year, cultivating peacefully, and the once-flamboyant Sub-dragon Summoned Beast has also gone silent. Of course, she knows that Lv Cheng keeps that little Sub-dragon at home, usually watching the door.

It's just that because Lv Cheng hasn't spoken, many people outside already suspect that his Sub-dragon has lost control.

First, he shocked everyone, then he lowered his own presence, letting people gradually lose interest and expectations for him. This way, he got his moment in the spotlight while ensuring his safety.

Now with Mo Fan, who has Natural Dual Elements, showing off outside, Lv Cheng couldn't be safer!

"Ah, yes, yes, it's all my fault; I'm framing him."

Lv Cheng shook his head and turned to walk away.

"Hey!" Tang Yue hurriedly chased after him.

"I was just joking."

"Ah, yes, yes, joking..."

"Are you jealous?"

"Ah, yes, yes, jealous..."

"……"

……

It was midnight, and the bright moon hung in the sky.

As usual, Ye Xinxia sat quietly at home, waiting for Lv Cheng's return.

Sitting opposite Ye Xinxia was a little boy with short gray-black hair, looking sturdy and bright-eyed with regular features, thick eyebrows, double eyelids, glossy brown pupils, and the slightly ruddy skin of an Asian—this was Ximu in his human form.

Ever since being pulled out of Hell by Lv Cheng, Ximu had maintained this appearance, which counted as integrating into human society. After all, he didn't yet know Lv Cheng's intentions, and under the restrictions of Hell, he couldn't beat Lv Cheng.

Although Lv Cheng couldn't send him back to Hell with a wave of his hand using an Immortal God Token like he could against Shendu, but!

Lv Cheng could beat him up and throw him back.

"To be honest, I'm curious about the relationship between you two," Ximu said.

"I can tell you like him very much, but he might not feel the same."

"And... you seem to be very aware of this point."

Lv Cheng's thoughts are actually not hard to guess; after all, he doesn't hide them, he just adds some disguises—disguises that easily lead to misunderstandings.

As long as one has sufficiently keen observation skills, or a simple mind that doesn't pay attention to those disguises, one can clearly see what Lv Cheng really means.

And the young girl before him belongs to the former.

"Why are you asking this?" Ye Xinxia asked.

"Just curiosity, I suppose," Ximu shrugged.

"After all, he counts as my brother now."

After their discussion, they decided to categorize Lv Cheng as being in the same generation as Shendu, rather than in the same generation as Xiao Long.

After all, in terms of status, Lv Cheng and Shendu are equals.

One is Yin Power, the other is Yang Power.

Moreover, Lv Cheng does not belong to a new life derived from Shendu; at most, it counts as a transformation of his soul.

The current Lv Cheng is only half demon; the other half is still human.

"Brother?" Ye Xinxia was stunned.

"Aren't you Brother A-Cheng's Summoned Beast?"

Ximu's eye twitched, "I am not a Summoned Beast; I am a demon."

"A Demon?" Ye Xinxia looked strange.

"Doesn't look like one..."

This child named Ximu was brought back by Lv Cheng suddenly from the outside a few days ago, saying it was a small Summoned Beast he accidentally summoned from the Dimension Space, to be kept at home temporarily to see how things went.

"You humans really do like to judge by appearances." Ximu shook his head, red light flickering in his eyes, his form slowly growing larger, and in just a few breaths, he returned to his original body.

Light gray pterosaur wings, eyes flickering with red light, sharp claws, light blue skin, and a long tail like a Demon lizard.

"Are you not afraid?" Ximu asked in confusion.

"Afraid?" Ye Xinxia looked puzzled.

"Aren't you Brother Lv Cheng's Summoned Beast?"

Ximu's face darkened, "I'll say it again, I am not a Summoned Beast!"

"I am a Demon, a Demon Wizard!"

Although he had forgotten most of his Magic, he could still use his innate Sky Demon Qi!

"Wizard? Is that also a type of Mage?" Ye Xinxia asked curiously.

Ximu was speechless, "I suppose you could say that."

Why wasn't this little girl afraid at all?

Could it be because the Demons of this world were too ugly?

And had already raised the psychological endurance of humans?

"Then what is your Magic?" Ye Xinxia asked curiously.

She had heard of a Summoned Beast that could use Magic for the first time.

"In terms you can understand... controlling the weather, I suppose," Ximu said.

"But my power is very weak right now, I can't create too big of a scene, at most I can only control the weather within this city."

His ability in direct combat was considered the weakest, but his influence on the world was second only to Zhou Lan.

Zhou Lan could manipulate the Moon's gravity to change Earth's environment, while he could directly change Earth's cloud layers; covering the sky and blocking the sun, or clearing the clouds for ten thousand miles, were all within a single thought of his.

"The weather of this city?" Ye Xinxia was stunned.

"Can you let me see it?"

"Of course." Ximu stood up and transformed back into the appearance of a human child.

To Lv Cheng, this human girl carried a lot of weight; if he wanted his future days to be easier, he still had to start with this girl.

Otherwise, he couldn't beat Lv Cheng!

"What kind of weather do you want to see?" Ximu asked.

"I..." Ye Xinxia thought for a moment.

"Can you make it snow?"

"Of course." Ximu nodded, stretched out his right hand, and clenched it toward the sky; Sky Demon Qi flowed secretly, and in just a few breaths, clouds began to gather in the cloudless night sky.

"This..." Ye Xinxia was dumbfounded.

No, I was just joking!

You can actually make it snow?

This... wait!

Looking at the ice chunk the size of a small glass marble that had fallen into her hand, Ye Xinxia was a little confused.

"This isn't snow, is it?"

"Uh..." Ximu looked embarrassed.

"An accident, I haven't controlled it for a long time, my technique is a bit rusty, I didn't control the temperature well, let me adjust it."

Tap, tap, tap!

Following Ximu's adjustment, in less than a minute, the marble-sized hail turned into ice balls the size of ping-pong balls.

Ye Xinxia, not wanting to get hit on the head, hurried back into the house, and Ximu also returned to the doorway.

"How could this happen..." Ximu was a little confused.

Shouldn't this temperature have caused snow?

How could it hail?

"Um, is there a possibility that since it's summer now, if you suddenly lower the temperature in the high altitude, it's very easy to form hail?" Ye Xinxia guessed.

"Brother Lv Cheng told me about this principle before."

"Is that so?" Ximu scratched his head.

"That shouldn't be, I used to be able to control it easily..."

"Uh, the 'used to' you mentioned, when was that?" Ye Xinxia had a bad premonition.

"About five thousand years ago, I guess," Ximu estimated.

Ever since he was cast into Hell, he hadn't controlled the weather.

It seems he was indeed rusty...

"Um, Mr. Ximu, could you... stop the hail outside first?" Ye Xinxia interrupted Ximu's memories.

The hail was getting bigger and bigger!

They were almost the size of fists!

If these hit someone, they would die!
