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

He simply listened attentively without offering any opinion at that moment.

In his view, it doesn't matter whether Long Haochen ultimately chooses to focus solely on the Guardian Knight path or is persuaded by Long Xingyu to pursue dual cultivation.

One thing will never change: he will always be Long Haochen's elder brother.

Gathering his focus, Long Haoyu concentrated all his attention on Wufeng, who was shrouded in a layer of golden light in front of him.

He didn't let the spirit of the Bladeless Sword come out, but just quietly stared at the Bladeless Heavy Sword. He also had important things to take care of.

"Wu Feng, I have already reached the standard of a formal knight, so why is your buff still unchanged?"

"If I'm not mistaken, you probably haven't reached the point where you're ready to grow yet, but it's about time you told me."

"What specific conditions need to be met for your growth?!"

PS: Chapter 2 will be a little later.

Chapter 42 The Conditions for Wufeng's Growth

In the Holy Demon Continent.

Weapons and equipment are divided into nine levels, from low to high.

Common equipment, alloy equipment, magic equipment, spirit equipment, glorious equipment, legendary equipment, epic equipment, immortal equipment, and mythical equipment.

Besides these tiered equipment, there is another type of equipment that can be upgraded, such as the Light Lotus that his little brother will get later.

No matter how much the user's strength increases, the weapon will also be upgraded to the corresponding level.

However, Wu Feng did not undergo these changes, although in terms of strength, he was already comparable to a spirit-demon level weapon the moment he awakened his inner spiritual power.

However, the increase has been 10% since the moment of awakening, and it is still 10% now, so he can't help but pay attention to this issue.

“Master, the only requirement for my growth is to meet the condition of ‘instinct’.”

"Just like your advancement, Master, Wufeng will receive feedback during your cultivation. After enjoying enough of his killing instinct, he will naturally advance in level."

"So, although I can now rival the strength of weapons at the Spirit Demon level, I am actually still classified as ordinary equipment."

Killing instinct?

Long Haoyu seemed to be deep in thought.

Wu Feng's answer genuinely surprised him.

It has strength comparable to spirit-level equipment, but in reality it is still just an ordinary weapon.

If we follow Wu Feng's advice to satisfy 'instinct' as a condition for growth, then...

When Wufeng truly grows into a Spirit Demon-level equipment, its amplification will no longer remain at the level of ten percent.

"Does that mean I need to kill even more? Isn't what I've been cultivating over the past year enough?" Long Haoyu asked again.

On the edge of the sword, Little Coal Ball's head quietly popped out and winked at Long Haoyu: "Master, I only get feedback from the killing instinct. What you did over the past year was just cultivating your instinct."

"Only a true killing instinct can allow me to transform and achieve true growth!"

Long Haoyu fell silent instantly.

After hearing what the Sword Spirit Wufeng said, he seemed to understand exactly what Wufeng meant.

Instinct comes in many forms.

In the past, when he was cultivating, he did not show much of a killing instinct.

If we're really going to talk about it, it was only during that one battle against the scorpion-tailed lizard that it was shown.

After that, the killing instinct was never fully displayed.

Based on what Wufeng has said now.

The growth rate remained unchanged for an entire year, and this is the reason why.

"Understood!"

"Then, in the next stage of your cultivation, I should focus on helping you grow and transform."

Long Haoyu exhaled a heavy breath.

Having figured out the conditions for Wu Feng's growth, his goal became even more resolute.

The release of his killing instinct can also enhance his strength and meet the conditions for Wufeng's growth.

There is absolutely no conflict between the two.

Upon hearing Long Haoyu's words, Wufeng happily spun around on the hilt of Wufeng's sword before disappearing into the blade.

Long Haoyu's gaze hardened instantly, and he stood up and walked back towards Long Xingyu and Long Haochen.

"Haoyu, is there anything you don't understand?" Long Xingyu asked as soon as he saw Long Haoyu approaching.

Long Haoyu shook his head and said, "Not for now. I plan to leave Odin Town and go to Bright Moon Swamp for a while."

Long Xingyu: "...What are you going there for? Do you intend to go there alone to cultivate?"

Long Haoyu nodded and said, "I have already cultivated inner spiritual power, so I need more practical combat to improve my strength. The Bright Moon Swamp is very suitable for me at the moment."

Long Xingyu frowned and said in a deep voice, "Although there are no very powerful magical beasts in Haoyue Swamp, there have been level four ones before. If you encounter a group of magical beasts, you will have a very difficult time."

"You'd better stay here for the rest of the time. If you encounter any problems on the path of the Retribution Knight, you can ask me, and I can give you guidance."

At this moment, Bai Yue stepped forward, hugged Long Haoyu gently, and said, "Yu Yu, just listen to your father's arrangements."

"Stay here and cultivate. Don't go to Bright Moon Swamp. Don't worry your mother, okay?"

Feeling the warmth of her mother's embrace.

My mother's caring words echoed in my ears.

Long Haoyu calmed down and replied softly, "Mom, I'm already a third-tier professional, so the Bright Moon Swamp won't be too dangerous for me."

"If I want to become a powerful knight to protect you and Haochen, I must constantly improve my strength. This is something I must face."

"As for asking him about the issue of punishing knights, I don't have anything to ask him at the moment."

The words fall.

Long Haoyu broke free from Bai Yue's embrace.

Long Xingyu saw that Long Haoyu's attitude was very firm, and he even mentioned once again that he did not want to ask him about the training of the Punisher Knight for the time being.

For a moment, he felt a tightness in his chest.

I know you don't give me much face, but you don't have to be this rude!

"Are you sure you want to go to Haoyue Swamp?" Long Xingyu asked in a deep voice.

Long Haoyu nodded and said, "I'm sure. My cultivation also needs more and more real combat to improve, so the Bright Moon Swamp is very suitable for me at the moment!"

Seeing Long Haoyu's firm attitude, Bai Yue's worry deepened.

But sensing the resolute determination emanating from Long Haoyu, she sighed softly and ultimately didn't say anything more about the matter.

Seeing that Bai Yue had already tacitly agreed to this, Long Xingyu nodded and said, "Since you have made up your mind, I will not stop you."

"Remember, if there's anything you don't understand, come back and ask me immediately. Also, remember to keep yourself safe and don't worry your mother."

Long Haoyu nodded: "I know all these things. When I was training in the Bright Moon Swamp, I would ensure my safety no matter what happened."

Then, Long Haoyu gently took Bai Yao's hand: "Mom, don't worry. Even if you don't believe me, you should believe him!"

"He said there's no problem, so there definitely won't be any problems. I'll protect myself!"

After comforting his mother, Long Haoyu whispered a few words to Long Haochen before carrying the heavy sword without blade and heading down Mount Odin.

Bai Yue watched Long Haoyu leave with a worried expression, then leaned weakly against Long Xingyu.

Long Xingyu gently patted Bai Yue's back, his brows furrowed deeply as he watched Long Haoyu's figure shrinking on the mountain path.

He pondered Long Haoyu's consistent philosophy of punishing knights, as well as his eight-character principle of "take life and death lightly, and fight if you disagree."

For some reason, he felt inexplicably uneasy.

Chapter 43 Long Xingyu, who was willing to go all out

"I hope nothing will happen."

Long Xingyu thought to himself, the more he thought about Long Haoyu's insistence on his ideals, the more uneasy he felt.

This feeling was even stronger when watching Long Haoyu's dashing and decisive departure.

"To uphold that abnormal level of knightly philosophy, to disregard life and death, and to pursue the ultimate power."

"With this kind of philosophy, this child still tells Yao not to worry. Isn't that lying without batting an eye? Does Prince Odin teach such a way of life?"

"This is a bit of a problem. If we let this child run wild like this, and something really happens to him, Yue will probably hold a grudge against me for the rest of his life!"

Long Xingyu was filled with complex emotions as he carefully considered everything, but no matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn't come up with the answer that would put his mind at ease.

After hesitating for a moment, he withdrew his complicated gaze and looked at Bai Yue, who was in his arms and looked worried about Long Haoyu.

Bai Yue raised her head, saying nothing, her eyes trembling slightly, her expression full of pleading.

"Yue, are you still worried about this child?" Long Xingyu sighed softly and asked gently.

Bai Yue nodded, tears she had been holding back finally welling up in her eyes: "Yu Yu is too precocious. He has suffered so much for this family all these years, and now he's leaving alone to cultivate. I'm worried... I'm worried..."

In the end, Bai Yue didn't say what she was most worried about, but although she didn't express those thoughts in her words, her expression revealed all her inner feelings.

"Do you want me to go with this child and take a look?" Long Xingyu asked again.

Bai Yue nodded and said, "Yu, go and see. I know you want them to become stronger, but I am his mother, and I just want to see him grow up healthy and safe."

Her eyes were captivating.

Long Xingyu's heart was struck hard.

He unconsciously tightened his grip on Bai Yue, wanting to protect her properly.

"Okay, I've arranged things for Haochen. Now I'll go with Haoyu to take a look."

"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to either Haoyu or Haochen."

Long Xingyu took a deep breath, suppressing the ferocity in his heart as Bai Yue stared at him, and spoke in a deep voice.
