Chapter 1224: Krune's Creation

"We pay respects to Madame Liu!" Wang Hao and Chen Xue bowed, paying respects to Daxia Ting.

"Hahaha, get up." Daxia Ting smiled as her gaze lingered on Chen Xue, regretting that she wasn't able to engage her to her son. The more she looked at her, the more she liked her.

Then again, now that she took a second glance, Wang Hao also had a heroic aura about him, wishing to tie him down to the Liu Family by making him marry one of their girls. However, recalling her exchange with Krune, she dropped the idea.

Plus, she had personally sensed their strength, aware of what they indicated. So, she didn't wish to do anything that would separate them. Instead, she wished to tie them together.

That way, it'll gain them more prestige if they decide to settle down in the Liu Family. Many thoughts swirled in her head as she told the two, focusing on the importance of the task at hand, "The two of you, what's your plan?"

"What do you mean, Madam?" Chen Xue asked in surprise, wondering why a lady of her stature was curious about two students. Had they been privileged children, then such a question would have made sense.

Wishing to take over the family business, pursue further studies, take employment in a respectable place, and so on and so forth. There were many things an aristocratic child was able to do, so a question would make sense when directed at them.

However, Wang Hao and Chen Xue didn't have anything other than the fact that they graduated from the County Academy. Somehow, they also managed a seat at the Imperial Academy, so they were just planning to head there while planning to support Krune into dedicating their lives towards the goal they had promised to Wang Hu.

'Is she asking about that?' Confused as to how she had such an idea, Chen Xue shot a glance at Krune, watching him nod in response.

"Mother is an Imperial Meister that is able to sense the positions of everyone with power in the Daxia Empire," Krune finally said.

"Yes, so I know the secret of the two of you being Imperial Warlocks. That's why I have asked you such a question." Daxia Ting then said, sighing, "This is such a dangerous route you're taking. So, I hope you fully understand the risks of that before journeying into that. The world has become more dangerous than before, so there's also that to take into account."

"We are aware, Madam." Wang Hao raised his head, stating firmly, "My grandfather has said everything to me before. So, I understand the responsibility that we have to face."

"We're willing to tread such a dangerous path."

"Good." Daxia Ting nodded, pleased with their response as she said, "I'll be wholeheartedly supporting the both of you in such an endeavor. From today onwards, consider the Liu Family your household. Whatever you need, our family will do its best to support you. With me backing you, it's the same as you obtaining the Emperor's favor."

"The... Emperor's favor?" The two children stared agape, confused.

Krune interjected, "The Emperor is mother's father."

Hearing such a response, the two kids prostrated on the ground, "We have committed a mistake, your majesty."

"No, you didn't." Daxia Ting hurriedly motioned for them to get up. "You didn't know my lineage. So, it's not a problem."

She then smiled, saying truthfully, "Liu Heng's a Star Imperial Meister. His fate is to fight against the Demons. Since you're planning to travel the same path, I hope you can help him."

"Please leave it to us, madam," Wang Hao replied, grinning in response.

"I'm glad." Daxia Ting nodded before asking, "By the way, I only know that you are called Imperial Warlocks since my son called you as such. Plus, I only know the extent of your power, but not what you can actually do. If possible, can you show me?"

"This...?" Chen Xue hesitated.

"Husband, can you stand guard outside?" Daxia Ting smiled as she asked.

"Yes," Liu Heng's father nodded before exiting the ground, sporting an expression that wished to cry. 'But... I'm an Imperial Meister too!'

"Alright, can you show me now? You can rest assured that no one else would be privy of your powers, including the Emperor himself," Daxia Ting said.

Hearing such a bold statement from her, Chen Xue and Wang Hao looked at one another, sighing as they cupped their fists.

Immediately after, a golden light enveloped their bodies before beginning to morph them. A couple of seconds later, two Yin Beasts appeared in their positions.

A humanoid stature that reached three meters in height, possessing scales akin to a dragon, scaly eyes, protruding mouth, sharp teeth, whip-like tail with a bladed end, and a pair of claws that were menacing.

They unleashed a suffocating presence when a pair of wings grew on their back.

Yin Beast Transformation!

Wang Hao's Yin Beast form emitted dense heat while Chen Xue's form emitted breath-taking chillness.

As Wang Hao waved his hand, his claws glowed with a fiery radiance, extending in size accordingly to his thoughts. Similarly, his wings grew or shrunk in size according to his thoughts, completely vanishing when he didn't deem them necessary.

"A-Amazing! They no longer possess the weakness of an Imperial Meister!" Daxia Ting muttered in great shock. "So... this is an Imperial Warlock!"

'Amazing!' Krune was also surprised, only now seeing the fruits of his labor, understanding just how strong the two of them were. On top of that, they had just begun to grow.

Unlike an Imperial Meister, their bodies themselves had been strengthened. So, not only would they age slower, but they would also retain the ability of Yin Beasts to heal their wounds. Even for wounds where their limbs had been cut off, as long as they recuperate for a couple of years, they would be able to regenerate it completely.

In this world, such a power defied common sense. So, no wonder Daxia Ting was shocked. After all, even he himself, the one that had created such power, was surprised.

A minute later, the two deactivated their powers, panting as they seemed exhausted. Chen Xue barely managed to catch their breath, saying, "We haven't been able to transform more than a couple of times.. So, we aren't used to unleashing all this might."
