Divine Seal: From a Heavy Sword to Slicing Through the Holy Demon Continent

The improvement in his physical strength was very obvious. Long Haoyu felt himself getting stronger every minute and every second until an hour later when this feeling completely disappeared.

"Dad, is it over?" Long Haochen asked Long Xingyu.

Seeing this, Long Xingyu nodded and replied, "It's over. The cleansing and marrow-washing are complete. You two brothers can come out now."

Long Haochen obediently got out of the water tank, changed into the clean clothes Bai Yue had brought him, and quickly put them on.

Seeing that Long Haoyu had also changed into clean clothes, he couldn't contain his excitement and said, "Brother, I feel like I've become stronger."

"Cleansing the meridians and marrow will definitely make you stronger, but don't get too addicted to it."

With a pointed remark, Long Haoyu, while instructing Long Haochen, glanced at Long Xingyu out of the corner of his eye.

Long Xingyu was a powerful figure; he saw through all of Long Haoyu's little tricks, and his mouth was practically twisted with anger.

Am I really that incompetent? I went to so much trouble to get these precious medicinal herbs for cleansing the marrow and rejuvenating the body, and brewed two huge pots of this medicinal liquid, and I can't even hear a thank you from Dad?

With a slight rift in his mind, Long Xingyu coughed softly with his hands behind his back: "Now that the cleansing of your meridians and marrow has been successful, I will test your current spiritual power."

"Hearing is deceiving, seeing is believing. You all know how much spiritual power you had during the Knights' Trial. After the retest, you will naturally know how extraordinary the secret techniques of our Knights' Temple are."

Long Xingyu was, after all, a ninth-tier Divine Seal Knight, one of the people standing at the pinnacle of the Holy Demon Continent, and naturally possessed a treasure that allowed him to test his spiritual power at any time.

However, whether intentionally or not, Long Xingyu took out a special wooden stump similar to the one in Odin's Palace.

After placing the wooden stumps in front of the thatched hut, Long Xingyu took out two very ordinary iron swords.

"The wooden sword can only withstand a maximum of 20 points of spiritual power. Now, you two can use this iron sword to test your current spiritual power more accurately."

With a wave of his hand, Long Xingyu handed over two iron swords, which were firmly planted in front of Long Haoyu and Long Haochen, three feet deep in the ground.

"Hmm... the iron sword seems to be stuck in the rocks under the soil." Long Haochen was very excited and wanted to test his spiritual power as soon as possible, but he was unable to pull the iron sword out of the ground.

Long Haoyu glanced at the iron sword indifferently, then pulled out his own iron sword and pulled out Long Haochen's iron sword.

A pair of strange eyes fell on Long Xingyu, deliberately pushing the iron sword three-tenths of an inch into the ground, clearly intending to embarrass them a little.

Ha, childish!

Long Haochen took the iron sword, assumed a standard knight's stance, took a deep breath, and then swung it at the wooden stump.

Long Xingyu's lips twitched slightly as he understood the meaning in Long Haoyu's eyes, and finally looked at Long Haochen.

"boom!!!"

With a muffled thud, the stone pillar inside the wooden block rose up, continuing until it reached 40 points of spiritual energy.

"My spiritual power has actually increased to 40 points? The cleansing of the meridians and marrow has such a good effect?" Long Haochen's eyes widened, unable to believe the result.

He remembered that he only had 18 spiritual power during the previous test, so this was more than double!

Overjoyed, Long Haochen quickly looked at Long Haoyu: "Brother, my spiritual power has increased so much. You already had 35 points of spiritual power. Why don't you test your spiritual power!"

Long Haoyu grunted and swung his heavy sword fiercely at the wooden stump.

With a dull thud, the wooden block swayed slightly, and the stone pillar inside leaped high into the air.

The test stopped at 40, 50, 60, and finally at 75.

"Seven...seventy-five points of spiritual power?" Long Haochen exclaimed excitedly, "Brother, you've reached the seventh-level squire knight level!"

Long Haoyu was somewhat surprised. He knew that cleansing the meridians and marrow was very effective, but he was still quite astonished to see his spiritual power increase to 75 points directly.

100 points of spiritual power makes you a level 10 squire knight, and another 1 point of spiritual power is enough to participate in the prospective knight assessment.

Originally 35 points of spiritual power, it rose to 75 points. Even considering the boost that Wu Feng could provide in actual combat, his spiritual power is still at the level of an eighth-tier attendant knight.

Such an improvement is undeniably rapid.

"Dad, my brother and I have improved a lot. You said that after we pass the test, you will take my brother and me for special training. What kind of special training is it?" Long Haochen's eyes were full of eagerness.

Long Xingyu fell silent. Long Haochen's 40 points of spiritual power were not too unexpected, but Long Haoyu's 75 points of spiritual power left him speechless.

Long Haochen's words, though unintentional, felt like a steel needle piercing his heart.

Thinking about the special training venue he had chosen for the two brothers, for a moment he suddenly didn't know how to answer.

Can an anthill withstand such a place?

For the first time ever, Long Xingyu seemed somewhat insecure and remained silent for a long time, not offering even a single word of reply.

"Dad, Dad, are you not feeling well?"

Seeing this, Long Haochen asked with great curiosity.

Long Xingyu came to his senses and said, "Dad is fine. Dad just wants some peace and quiet."

"Well... you'll find out the details of the special training tomorrow."

Long Haoyu could roughly guess Long Xingyu's current thoughts. After adjusting to the increased power after the cleansing and marrow cleansing, he went straight back to his thatched hut.

"Thanks!"

When he passed by Long Xingyu, he curtly tossed out a thank you.

Long Xingyu was speechless. Looking at Long Haoyu's unconventional behavior and then at the markings on the wooden block, he could not hide his pain.

You are so talented!

But why...

Long Xingyu sighed heavily.

Bai Yue was genuinely happy for her two children's progress and didn't notice Long Xingyu's unusual behavior.

Knowing that Long Haoyu and Long Xingyu didn't get along after preparing dinner, she specially asked Long Haochen to deliver dinner to Long Haoyu.

As night fell, after finishing his dinner, Long Haoyu had no expectations for the special training that was to begin the next day.

"System, enter the shadow space!"

With a silent thought, Long Haoyu's consciousness became chaotic as he entered the shadow space.

Inside the shadow space, it remained unchanged after the transformation, with the words "Take life and death lightly, fight if you're not convinced" still prominently displayed on the massive stone pillar.

The shadow instructor materialized the moment Long Haoyu entered the shadow space.

His aura was more profound than his own, indicating that he had been elevated to the same level as him.

"You have now officially come into contact with killing."

"Then, I will begin your real special training!"

Upon hearing this, Long Haoyu immediately became interested when he heard the shadow instructor talk about real special training.

He was really looking forward to hearing the real special training from the shadow instructor.

Bowing respectfully, Long Haoyu's eyes gleamed with eagerness: "Instructor, please!"

Chapter 14 The Real Special Training, the Inhuman Series

Long Haoyu made thorough preparations.

After bowing in respect, he removed the bladeless sword from behind him.

He gripped the sword hilt tightly with both hands, elevating his own aura.

He dared not be careless in the face of the shadow instructor.

Looking back on all the training he had received, he couldn't even remember how many times he had been killed by the Shadow Instructor.

Despite having the same face as him, he was ruthless when it came to killing people; if he could kill him with one strike, he would never need two.

Furthermore, the Shadow Instructor's strength will increase along with his own improvement, and he will always be in his most perfect state at the current stage.

He had tried many times before finally killing the Shadow Instructor once, thus achieving a perfect self that surpassed that stage.

Now that there has been improvement, the training to surpass oneself and achieve perfection is about to begin again.

"Deadly Thrust!"

The shadow instructor suddenly gave a soft shout.

One second ago, the shadow instructor was right in front of Long Haoyu.

But the moment the soft shout fell, the shadow instructor had already appeared behind him.

Long Haoyu still held the Wufeng sword with both hands, but there was already a fist-sized blood hole in his chest.

"Uh……"

"I am dead?"

Long Haoyu was in a state of confusion.

The bloody hole in his chest proclaimed the end of his life.

He fell heavily to the ground, and Long Haoyu could hardly believe that he had been defeated so quickly.

There have been precedents of surpassing one's own perfection before, so even if there has been an improvement, there should be enough muscle memory.

But the reality is cruel; he knew he had gloriously typed "GG".

Before long, Long Haoyu was 'resurrected' again.

The body, completely unharmed, solidified in the shadow space, and Wufeng remained the same Wufeng.

The shadow instructor returned to the front of Long Haoyu, holding a blunt heavy sword in one hand, and scrutinized him indifferently.

"Once you experience your first real killing, the Shadow Space will grant you new privileges."

"Here, you can learn all the knight skills, and I will no longer use the Unsharp Edge technique to fight you head-on. I will use knight skills to kill you as quickly as possible!"

The shadow instructor spoke coldly, revealing the truth behind how the battle had ended with a single, sudden move.

Long Haoyu took a deep breath, and only at this moment did he realize what the Shadow Instructor meant by the real special training.

Before this, in the shadow space, he coordinated the body's reaction speed, or rather, the reaction speed of the nerves.

Through constant practice and refinement, he finally had the opportunity to defeat the Shadow Instructor in terms of neural memory.

But now that their authority has been increased, shadow instructors will no longer be limited to the original training methods, and the pressure they face will increase many times over.

"Instructor, I understand!"

"I don't know knight skills, but I will learn all the skills you use from your attacks!"
