Determined to meet Chi Cheng's expectations, Huo Renyi unsheathed the dual Shuangdao sabre blades that rested in a strapped criss-crossed sheath on his back.
"You even wield Zou Jiayi's preferred blades." Chi Cheng studied the azure-blue flame designs that decorated the length of the black sabre blades. "Why is it that you choose to serve me as Zou Jiayi served Jing Ling, I wonder, but that is something you will answer yourself eventually."
Approaching Huo Renyi, Chi Cheng gestured for the taller youngster to kneel. Obeying without a word, nor his usual cynical remarks, the Huo youngster knelt. Chi Cheng laced his fingertips with his Celestial essence, swiftly carving a symbol on the youngster's forehead.
"With this symbol, you will be able to draw this gold Qi from me," Chi Cheng explained, gesturing for Huo Renyi to rise. "Even these Border Dwellers cannot be killed by the Huo clan's fiery essence which you possess, combine the gold Qi with your own and fight them off."
