That day, when the news about Long Kongkong's innate inner spiritual power of eighty-seven was sent to the Knights Temple, it was Na Ye's turn on duty. He was immediately excited when he saw the news. No one at the headquarters was willing to become his disciple. Surely this wouldn't be a problem in a city like Soaring Dragon City, right? After all, he was a divine knight!
Among the divine knights, besides him, the one ranked eighth also didn't have a disciple. Immediately, he suppressed this news, only instructing the Temple Knights below to provide aid to this gifted child based on the rules. He then hurried to Soaring Dragon City day and night. He had just arrived this morning, and couldn't wait to bring out the master-disciple covenant. He fantasized about how wonderful it would be to have a disciple with an innate inner spiritual power of eighty-seven and an Elemental Vortex Spirit Furnace, and the possibility of a prodigy of Luminosity physique. Even at the headquarters, there was only one prodigy of Luminosity now. For the tests of the divine knight's disciples, there were punishments for failing and rewards for passing, and if the performance was excellent, there could even be a divine artifact as a reward.
At this moment, his mind was blank, and the only number filling his head was fifteen, fifteen, fifteen...
In the eyes of these divine knights, only those with innate inner spiritual power over seventy could possibly be called a genius! But fifteen... that could hardly be called trash.
"You, you didn't use something to hide your inner spiritual power, did you? That's impossible! The Temple Knight said he tested you!" Na Ye said, his voice trembling.
Ten years of salary! That was his future happiness! More importantly, the master-disciple covenant could only be used once in a lifetime, meaning that he could not take another disciple apart from Long Kongkong. That is to say, he, as a divine knight, could no longer get a penny from the Temple, not just for ten years, but for the future.
Long Kongkong, watching Na Ye's excited reaction, was a bit flustered and unconsciously retreated to Long Dangdang's side, "The eighty-seven was my brother. He tested for me."
Na Ye turned to Long Dangdang, "Isn't his innate magic spiritual power high?"
"Both high, both high. Sir, please calm down! Don't act rashly! We didn't mean to deceive you. You insisted on taking me as your disciple and made me sign the contract. You just asked if I was Long Kongkong, you didn't ask about my talent, did you? If you think I'm not up to standard, we can just forget about this master-disciple relationship. Don't force it!" Long Kongkong said.
"Bullshit! This is the master-disciple covenant, a once-in-a-lifetime master-disciple covenant! Can it just be abandoned?" Na Ye's rage erupted, and he strode towards Long Kongkong.
Long Dangdang quickly blocked his brother, activated his spirit furnace, instantly releasing the sacred light protection ability of the Divine Lotus Spirit Furnace, and swiftly grabbed the scroll handed down from the Magic Temple. What made Na Ye's mouth twitch was that a white light also fell on him. As a divine knight, he knew what it was - the Holy Diversion Spirit Furnace. It was also this Long Dangdang who absorbed the Holy Diversion Spirit Furnace.
Looking at the white lotus halo enveloping Long Dangdang's chest, Na Ye almost suffocated from anger.
It turned out that there were geniuses, but he had chosen the wrong person.
"Senior, senior, calm down first, can you listen to me for a moment," Long Dangdang said, looking warily at the man before him. The pressure from a 9th Rank was indeed quite significant.
Na Ye's mind turned like lightning, wondering if it might be possible to transfer the master-disciple covenant to a twin. But he soon deflated when he realized that was impossible. Even twins have different souls, and the master-disciple covenant had extremely strict rules. There was no chance of transfer.
Long Dangdang already started speaking, "My brother is right. You insisted on taking him as your disciple without asking anything beforehand. You did not emphasize that talent was a requirement. We saw that you were sincere, and so Kongkong agreed. Therefore, it is not our fault. If the covenant can be annulled, we could cooperate with you to do so. We are just two children. You are a man of importance. You wouldn't want to make things difficult for us, right?"
Na Ye's hand was shaking. Indeed, what could he do to these two children? But... his dreams were shattered, his future income was gone! The pain left him breathless. Also, he had promised a spirit furnace.
The thought of all this almost made him spit blood.
"Also, senior, have you noticed that my brother's innate spiritual power is now fifteen?" Long Dangdang reminded.
"What of it? That's still... " Na Ye, the Cowardly Knight, almost blurted out the word trash, but despite his cowardice, he was fundamentally kind-hearted. Because he had been ridiculed by many people and knew the pain, he didn't speak harshly even in this situation.
"A week ago I was only at ten. Now I'm at fifteen. Cool, right?" Long Kongkong popped his head from behind Long Dangdang.
Startled, Na Ye quickly strode over to Long Kongkong, gripped his shoulders. No waves were stirred in the Holy Light Protection Long Dangdang had erected in front of him and it remained undestroyed.
A 9th Rank divine knight, the Physique of the Light God! His light elements were simply ignored.
"What did you say? Say it again." Na Ye urged Long Kongkong nervously.
Long Kongkong rolled his eyes, "I said, a week ago my innate spiritual power was only ten. Can't this thing increase on its own? How come it became fifteen when you tested it today?"
Na Ye initially despaired, but he quickly regained his composure. He waved his left hand and pressed down on the scroll in Long Dangdang's hand.
"Stop messing around, let me think, let me think a bit."
As he spoke, a soft golden light radiated from his hand, enveloping Long Kongkong, feeling every change in his body.
Gradually, Na Ye's expression became more and more animated.
He looked at the two brothers in front of him, "Tell me in detail about how Kongkong absorbed the Elemental Vortex Spirit Furnace. Especially the process of absorption, don't leave out anything."
The brothers looked at each other, just as Long Kongkong was about to speak, Long Dangdang said, "Let me tell it." Then, he detailed the exact events of that day.
When he mentioned that his cufflink had intertwined with his brother's, causing his brother to touch the Elemental Vortex Spirit Furnace, Na Ye couldn't help but take a deep look at him.
"Really, it was absorbed in just an instant?" Na Ye's eyes shone brilliantly.
"Yes! Then every day when I meditate, I feel warm and comfortable." Long Kongkong said.
Na Ye smiled, regaining the lazy smile he once had on his face, his shoulders relaxed, his mouth curved upwards, "A blessing in disguise, huh?! You little scoundrel, you nearly scared me to death just then. Good, good, perhaps, we have discovered a new continent."
Long Kongkong, looking at the old man in front of him who seemed to have returned to being an idler again, curiously asked, "What new continent?"
