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

“Starting today, I may need to begin preparing to teach you about the training of a Retribution Knight.”

Chapter 98 Has this rebellious son changed his ways?

Long Haochen stood there stunned, caught off guard by Long Haoyu's abrupt words.

After a moment of stunned silence, he asked with a hint of confusion, "Brother, why did you suddenly say that?"

Long Haoyu looked at Haoyue and explained, "You all saw what happened in the auction just now. Haoyue was very interested in the mysterious stone sphere."

"Without even being summoned on its own, it came to the auction house through a blood pact, so I initially deduce that the mysterious stone sphere is related to its upgrade."

Long Haoyu spoke slowly, trying his best to make sure everyone could understand and to avoid revealing his own knowledge due to being too hasty.

Although Li Xin and Lin Jialu had never witnessed Haoyue's ability to level up, they still knew that Haoyue was a magical beast that could level up.

But how did the mysterious stone sphere and the matter of Haoyue's upgrade get involved in teaching Long Haochen how to cultivate the Punishment Knight?

None of the three understood, and their gazes remained fixed on Long Haoyu, waiting for his explanation.

"The problem lies in the possibility of Haoyue's upgrade. Haoyue was originally summoned by Haochen from another plane through a magic array at the summit of the Holy Mountain."

"At that time, Hao Chen and I were at the top of the Holy Mountain of Knights, where there was a magic array suppressing it, so Hao Yue completed his first upgrade there."

"But now that the magic array at the summit of the sacred mountain is no longer suppressing it, I'm worried that Haoyue might return to its original world to upgrade."

"When Haoyue first came here, it was covered in wounds, so the world it came from must have been extremely dangerous."

"If Haoyue is also teleported there because of the blood pact, Haochen's current abilities are insufficient to handle it, so he may encounter danger."

Long Haoyu slowly analyzed these things, explaining to everyone what he knew through the most reasonable 'deduction' method.

After listening, the three of them fell silent in unison, all understanding the danger in Long Haoyu's analysis.

Although it is still something that has not happened yet, Long Haoyu's analysis is reasonable and well-founded, so we have to prepare in advance.

Otherwise, once all those predicted things happen, it will be too late to regret it.

Long Haochen did not respond. At this moment, he was the most silent of the three, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Li Xin and Lin Jialu remained silent on the sidelines, not interfering with Long Haochen's thoughts on the matter.

Having spent so much time together, they still understand very well what Long Haochen is holding onto.

Long Haochen's goal is to be a good guardian knight, and he has always adhered to the idea of ​​wanting to be the vanguard for Long Haoyu.

Long Haoyu's suggestion is clearly putting Long Haochen in a difficult and conflicted position. They can't help with this kind of thing and can only let Long Haochen make the choice himself.

"Haochen, your brother knows you want to walk the path of a guardian knight in peace and become the greatest guardian knight."

"If I had a choice, I wouldn't want to suddenly make this suggestion after supporting you for so many years."

"If my brother could always stay by your side, I could help you fend off all the enemies, but it's impossible for my brother to truly stay by your side forever."

"That's why I made these suggestions. I know you're having a little trouble accepting them right now, so please think about them carefully!"

Long Haoyu spoke softly, leaving Long Haochen some room for choice.

“I understand what you mean, brother. You want me to have enough ability to protect myself.”

Long Haochen replied in a low voice, "The world of Haoyue is indeed very dangerous, and the Guardian Knights can only play their greatest role in a team."

"I don't have enough offensive means. If I really go to Haoyue's world, I might never be able to come back. I understand all of this."

Long Haoyu gently patted Long Haochen on the shoulder, exchanged glances with Li Xin and Lin Jialu, and then the four of them set off again towards their hotel.

Because of Long Haoyu's preemptive speculation, the four of them were not in a good mood and appeared rather heavy-hearted.

Long Xingyu and Bai Yue, who were in the hotel, saw the group of four return. They thought that going out shopping would lift their spirits and help them get over what happened ten days ago.

Unexpectedly, after returning from their trip, the four of them felt even more somber than when they left.

The unusual reaction drew the attention of the couple to the four people.

"Yu Yu, Chen Chen, what happened to you two?" Bai Yue hugged the two children to her side with some heartache and asked gently.

After inquiring about the two brothers, Bai Yue also looked at Li Xin and Lin Jialu: "Xin'er, Jialu, did something happen to you when you went out?"

Li Xin replied, "Auntie, nothing happened, but let Haoyu and Haochen tell you the details!"

"Jialu and I are fine, we'll go back and rest now. Thank you for your concern, Auntie."

Li Xin and Lin Jialu spoke to Bai Yue one after another, and left Long Xingyu and Bai Yue's room in a tacit manner, leaving the space to the family of four.

The two women's unusual behavior left Long Xingyu and Bai Yue completely baffled. After the two women left, the couple quietly watched Long Haoyu and Long Haochen.

"Haochen, what happened? You can tell Dad if there's anything wrong," Long Xingyu asked. "Your mom will be very worried about you and Haoyu like this."

Long Haochen broke free from his mother's embrace and replied in a deep voice, "Mom and Dad, you don't need to worry. It's just that my brother said he's going to start teaching me the training of a punitive knight and wants me to practice dual cultivation."

"We've been thinking about this all the way back, so we're feeling a bit down."

???

Long Xingyu was somewhat stunned on the spot.

Even Bai Yue was somewhat stunned at this moment.

They all remember clearly how determined Long Haochen was to embark on the path of a guardian knight.

Long Xingyu had put in a lot of effort two years ago to get Long Haochen to choose the Retribution Knight branch, but in the end he still couldn't change Long Haochen's decision.

What's going on here? Why is Long Haoyu, who has always supported Long Haochen in this matter, suddenly suggesting that Long Haochen embark on the path of dual cultivation?

Long Xingyu looked at Long Haoyu with a strange expression, completely puzzled. He even wondered if he had woken up too quickly and was still dreaming.

Has this rebellious son changed his ways?

Did something that happened ten days ago really change this child so much?

"Why would you suddenly have such an idea?" Long Xingyu asked, puzzled.

Long Haochen quickly relayed Long Haoyu's earlier guesses, gently stroking Haoyue's two heads as he spoke.

Long Xingyu was overjoyed and could hardly believe what he was hearing. In a daze, he looked at Long Haoyu next to Long Haochen and suddenly felt much better. He really had changed his ways!

Suppressing his excitement, Long Xingyu quickly squatted down next to Long Haochen, feeling incredibly relieved.

He even felt that the discomfort he had felt from fighting the two great demons ten days ago had disappeared, and he was ready to go back and continue the battle for another eight hundred rounds.

"Haochen, what's your decision about this? Have you decided to pursue dual cultivation?"

Chapter 99 Dual Cultivation: Long Haochen, and the Changed Family Affection

Long Xingyu didn't feel any tension when the war against the demons began.

Even as he fought Ananda to the death, Long Xingyu didn't feel any tension.

But now, faced with Long Haochen's decision, he became unusually nervous.

Five years have passed since Bai Yao and her two children were found.

For five whole years, he never gave up on the idea of ​​leading Long Haochen down the path of a punitive knight, but he never succeeded.

Now that things have finally taken a turn for the better, he was incredibly excited. He squatted down next to Long Haochen, and his broad hands gripping Long Haochen's shoulders trembled slightly.

Sensing his father's emotions, Long Haochen said firmly, "Dad, I've decided to train as a Retribution Knight together."

“Brother is right. I really want to make something of myself as a guardian knight, and I really want to be your vanguard on the battlefield.”

“But my brother can’t always be by my side. I need to be able to protect myself, and there are also things that Haoyue might have to face.”

“You are all my family, and Haoyue is my family too. I can’t continue to be willful. I have to shoulder the responsibilities I need to shoulder!”

Every word he uttered was utterly resolute.

Every word was powerful.

Long Xingyu's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

At that moment, Long Haochen's answers were like heavenly music to him.

"Okay! Okay! Okay!"

"Haochen, I'm very pleased that you have such thoughts."

"Whether you're a Retribution Knight or a Guardian Knight, you're a hero of our Knights' Temple, but I'm very happy that you've chosen to become a Retribution Knight!"

Long Xingyu's emotions exploded. While speaking, he patted Long Haochen's shoulder heavily and did not forget to look at Long Haoyu with an admiring gaze.

The assessment is complete; the rebellious son has truly changed his ways.

In this world, the only person who can truly influence Long Haochen is Long Haoyu.

It's a pity that five years have been wasted. If he had embarked on the path of the Punisher Knight five years ago, he would definitely have been even more extraordinary.

"But Haochen, things are different now than they were a few years ago. Dad can't always be by your and Haoyu's side."

"Do you remember the ring your father gave you before? It contained all of your father's cultivation insights, including some knight skills that your father created himself."

"Since you've decided to embark on the path of a dual-wielding knight, then you should work hard in this area. My experience is enough to make you a very powerful retribution knight."

Long Xingyu spoke in a deep, powerful voice, glancing at Long Haochen's hands as he spoke.

The ring that should have been on Long Haochen's hand had disappeared, leaving him in a state of astonishment.

"Haochen, what about the heirloom ring that Dad gave you?" Long Xingyu asked.

Long Haochen realized what was happening and said, "Dad, my brother gave that ring to Sister Xin'er two years ago. Sister Xin'er is also a Punishment Knight."

"But Dad, don't worry, I'll discuss with Sister Xin'er how to train as a Punisher Knight."

"Besides, my brother is also a Retribution Knight. With my brother and Sister Xin'er teaching me together, I'm sure I'll make rapid progress on my path to becoming a Retribution Knight."

Long Xingyu: "..."

At this moment, Long Haoyu stepped forward and said, "Haochen has decided to pursue dual cultivation. I can't help him on the path of the Guardian Knight, but I can give him a lot of advice on the path of the Punisher Knight."

"While the legacy ring is certainly helpful to Hao Chen, a true retribution knight must ultimately find the path that best suits him on his own."

Long Xingyu: "..."

He fell silent again, feeling a strange unease.

I went through so much trouble to prepare all those things, and now I feel like I'm being looked down upon?
