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

Long Haochen spoke firmly, his small frame ramrod straight.

Long Xingyu hummed in agreement. He wasn't worried about Long Haochen, but his gaze, which held a slightly unusual expression, fell on Long Haoyu.

"Haoyu, Haochen, from this moment on, your combined inner and outer spiritual power makes you true knights."

“But talent is talent, and physique is physique. I still need to tell you this.”

"Continuous effort is the foundation of becoming a powerful knight. Never be overly ambitious just because you have the physique you already possess."

“Diligent training is still necessary. In the days to come, your father will teach you how to fully cultivate your inner spiritual power.”

"Both of you children should prepare yourselves well. Cultivating your inner spiritual power thoroughly won't be easy!"

Fearing that Long Haoyu's stubborn nature might cause him to go against him because of his talent, Long Xingyu added these words to ease his mind.

He's talented, but we need to keep him in check first. We absolutely can't let this stubborn brat get carried away.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be appropriate for someone in the position of an elderly father to take on this role.

Long Haoyu remained silent, but Long Haochen reacted first, thinking about the inner spiritual power cultivation that was about to begin.

His eyes were filled with fervor; he already knew too much about inner spiritual power, and his anticipation had been building for a long time.

Seeing that Long Haoyu remained silent, Long Xingyu continued, "Haoyu, do you have any questions about the upcoming training arrangements?"

Long Haoyu remained silent, looked at his hands, felt the changes in his body, and slowly took off the Wufeng sword from behind him.

He gently stroked the unique blade of the sword.

After the internal spiritual energy within his body was activated using a method similar to demon control, a faint golden light enveloped Wufeng.

The sacred light instantly imbued Wu Feng with a sense of solemnity; it was the aura of light.

Looking at Wu Feng's transformation, Long Haoyu turned to Long Xingyu and said, "Use your awakened inner spiritual power on your weapons, martial arts, and holy light magic?"

"So this is how you cultivate inner spiritual power, right?"

"It doesn't seem as difficult as I imagined!"

Chapter 41: The Reclusive Long Xingyu, Heartbroken Online

Internal spiritual power is different from external spiritual power.

External spiritual power can be improved through continuous cultivation.

For example, over the past year, the two brothers, Long Haoyu and Long Haochen, have been cultivating in the Ant Nest and in actual combat.

Both of these methods can enhance external spiritual power, which in other words, improve physical strength.

However, internal spiritual power requires certain skills. Awakening innate internal spiritual power only means talent; to use it skillfully, one still needs a lot of hard work.

Long Xingyu had come this far, and he didn't believe that the two brothers could cultivate inner spiritual power without his guidance.

But the golden light swirling around Long Haoyu's sword, with its incomparably sacred aura, tells him that it is the inner spiritual power that Long Haoyu has guided out.

The words he had just spoken, and the stern expression he had given the two brothers, instructing them to be humble and not arrogant, all froze on his face.

What did I just say?

It seems to be saying that cultivating inner spiritual power isn't that simple?

Long Xingyu's expression began to change, looking at the golden light on Wufeng with an extremely strange expression.

"Dad, is this the inner spiritual power that Brother has cultivated?" Long Haochen asked in amazement as he looked at the golden light on Wufeng.

Long Xingyu snapped out of his daze, his lips twitching slightly: "Not bad, your brother has successfully cultivated his inner spiritual power."

"As expected, Dad was too arbitrary. Your brother's talent in cultivation has reached an astonishing level!"

"I'm going to have to change my plans for you two brothers again."

Long Xingyu was heartbroken and exhausted.

For a whole year, he lost count of how many times he had changed his cultivation plan because of Long Haoyu.

Why is it so complicated to just instruct two children on their cultivation? Why are there so many variables?

Long Xingyu was a little confused. When he met Long Haoyu's 'calm' face, he suddenly didn't know what to say.

In his view, Long Haoyu's calm demeanor seemed to be telling him—

Are you sure you can do it? Didn't you say that cultivating inner spiritual power is extremely difficult? Look at me, I've already cultivated it, haven't I?

Long Haochen remained silent; he was already used to hearing Long Xingyu say he wanted to change the cultivation plan.

Long Haoyu didn't continue to argue with Long Xingyu, and looked at Long Xingyu very patiently.

In his memory, the original Long Xingyu should have been involved in the cultivation of inner spiritual power.

But now that he has succeeded here, he wants to see how Long Xingyu will make targeted changes to the plan.

"Haoyu, your talent is very strong, and conventional training is no longer useful for you."

"Now that you have cultivated your inner spiritual power, your father will let you cultivate on your own from now on."

"You want to follow the path of a Retribution Knight, and I am also a Retribution Knight. If you have any questions, you can ask me directly about your confusion regarding Retribution Knights."

"In this regard, I can offer you a great deal of help! Understand?"

Long Xingyu pondered for a moment, then said with a serious expression.

He really doesn't know whether he's lucky or unlucky to have a kid like Long Haoyu.

Long Haoyu found the cultivation method Long Xingyu had given him a little boring, but it wasn't too irritating.

"understood."

"Then I'll start cultivating on my own!"

After Long Haoyu finished speaking, he put Wufeng back on his back and headed towards the wooden house he often visited.

As always, it remains incredibly unique.

The path of a Retribution Paladin must ultimately be forged by oneself.

Each Retribution Paladin has their own unique understanding and creations.

With the shadow instructor present, he felt he didn't need to ask Long Xingyu for advice on this matter.

If he were to cultivate in the same way as Long Xingyu, he would at most possess the power of a dragon.

The power of a single dragon is not enough to dominate the Holy Demon Continent.

Long Xingyu: "..."

Watching Long Haoyu leave, the feeling of exhaustion reached a new level.

This child doesn't seem particularly interested in asking me about the Retribution Paladin?

What does this strong sense of disgust mean?

Am I, Long Xingyu, being looked down upon for teaching people how to train as a Retribution Knight?

"Dad, what about me?" Long Haochen asked again.

Seeing that Long Xingyu had arranged his brother's cultivation, he was now eager to start cultivating as well, hoping to catch up with his brother as soon as possible.

Long Xingyu snapped out of his daze, took a deep breath, and said, "Haochen, you see? If you want to take your brother as your goal, then you need to cultivate inner spiritual power as soon as possible."

"Next, Dad will teach you how to cultivate inner spiritual power. This is your next stage of training!"

Long Haochen nodded solemnly, his eyes filled with unwavering determination. Having witnessed his elder brother's successful cultivation, he now had only one thought in his mind: to catch up with his elder brother.

Long Xingyu was somewhat satisfied, but he didn't immediately take Long Haochen to the side to cultivate.

Seeing this, Long Haochen asked curiously, "Dad, do you have any other plans?"

Long Xingyu nodded and said, "Haochen, your father told you that only a punitive knight has the ability to challenge a demon god."

"You now possess the constitution of a Child of Light. If you embark on the path of a Retribution Knight, you will surely achieve great things!"

"A year has passed now. Are you sure you still want to follow the path of the Guardian Knight?"

He squatted down next to Long Haochen.

Long Xingyu's heart jumped when he asked that question.

He looked at Long Haochen with a very solemn expression and great anticipation.

Long Haochen exclaimed "Ah!" He hadn't expected Long Xingyu to ask such a question, and his little face immediately contorted in distress.

Long Xingyu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly added, "Haochen, if you really still want to leave the Guardian Knights, Dad has another suggestion."

“Your talent is also very strong. Perhaps you could try to train as a Guardian Knight while also training as a Retribution Knight.”

"If you are willing to make this choice, your father can also give you a lot of guidance, so that you can become a powerful retribution knight while training as a guardian knight!"

Long Xingyu's patient guidance made Long Haochen's little face even more contorted in distress.

Deep down, he wanted to follow the path of a guardian knight, but when he met his father Qi Ai's gaze, he suddenly felt a little lost.

"Dad, can I think about it some more?" Long Haochen asked hesitantly, his eyes looking somewhat uncertain.

Long Xingyu's expression froze. Hearing Long Haochen's answer, he seemed to understand: "Alright, then Haochen, think it over carefully. No matter what kind of knight you are, you can become a hero of our Knights' Temple."

"Dad won't interfere too much with your choices. Tell Dad when you've thought it through."

After finishing speaking, Long Xingyu patted Long Haochen's shoulder with a hint of helplessness, then stood up straight and gazed at the distant scenery of Mount Odin with a wistful expression.

Having lived to a ripe old age, he could easily see the root of Long Haochen's hesitation.

He was exhausted and heartbroken.

A dignified ninth-rank knight, a Divine Seal Knight recognized by the Throne of Gods.

The older one disliked me.

The younger one actually disliked him?

If I told anyone, who would believe me?

Long Haoyu had already sat down in front of the wooden house.

Hearing Long Xingyu's words to Long Haochen, a smile appeared on his lips.

This old man still hasn't given up on the idea of ​​letting Haochen also embark on the path of a punitive knight!
