Chapter 491: Divine Throne of Order and Law (I) (2/2)

Immediately, Long Haochen was cleansed by a warm flow of spiritual energy. Be it the tiredness of his body or the hollowness of his spiritual energy, both issues disappeared at a frightening speed.

Angels’ Embrace, Guardian Knight skill of the ninth step, had a great healing and recovery ability. Even if one only has bones left, as long as a breath remains, this skill can preserve his life. That was to say nothing about Long Haochen who was merely in a state of exhaustion.

The golden blue radiance disseminated in the sky, then blended inside Long Tianying’s body.

If Long Haochen was unable to call out the identity of this old man standing beside Yang Haohan at this moment, he wouldn’t be fit to be a knight. He knelt to the ground, “Long Haochen greets senior Divine Knight.”

Long Tianying unhappily responded, “Kneel on your two knees and then knock your head on the ground a few times.”

“Eh?” Long Haochen had a start. Long Tianying and Yang Haohan were already right in front of him.

Long Tianying feigned anger, “What? Are you unwilling? Little brat, I am your grandfather. Without this old man, would you have been born?”

“Grandfather?” Long Haochen looked astonished. He originally had some questions regarding the reason why the target for his Gold Foundation Armor trial would be a Divine Knight, one of the three almighty existences of the Knight Temple. But now, this old Divine Knight was telling him that he’s his grandfather. This made Long Haochen indeed confused for one moment.

Long Tianying had a dim look on his face, and didn’t keep pressing Long Haochen to keep kowtowing. Supporting him with both his hands, he laughed at himself as he continued, “Yes! And I am the most irresponsible grandfather of this world.”

Appearing to be at a loss, Long Haochen looked to the nearby Yang Haohan.

Yang Haohan nodded to him, “Indeed, he is your grandfather Long Tianying, the other Divine Knight of our Knight Temple. Your family has some rules saying that the descendents have to rely on their own ability. It was the same for your father as it is for you. And it looks as though your Long family is really about to have three Divine Knights.”

“Grandfather.” Long Haochen was in a strange mood, as his gaze at Long Tianying gained increasingly in warmth. For some reason, he felt his nose itch.

So he actually had another relative, not just his father, but even a grandfather as well.

“Grandfather!” Long Haochen drew back before kneeling again on the ground, thrice knocking his head on the ground out of respect.

Long Tianying had a complex look, as he once again lent his arm to support Long Haochen, “If only the demons didn’t exist. Without them, this old man would have just gotten rid of these freaking family rules. So what what if we were to spoil the descendants from our Long family a bit. But this cannot be done now. Talent comes with responsibility and duty. Kid, take your respects back. Your grandfather can hardly accept them. I have never given you anything, and this unqualified grandfather cannot even do anything to help your future path.”

Long Haochen lowered his head, and remained silent. As it is said, blood is thicker than water, which was the reason why he kowtowed in front of Long Tianying. But could he really say that he had no complaints at all?

Before his father found them, what kind of life had his mother and him used to have? What was their pain? Even now, all the abilities he acquired were obtained through his own strength. Grandfather,’ this word was simply unfamiliar to him. There was no hatred, but in the same way, there couldn’t be said to be familial love for him.

Yang Haohan put his hand on Long Tianying’s shoulder, shaking his head at him, “Okay, let’s set this matter aside. Haochen, your grandfather acted as your test opponent for the sake of testing your strength. After some discussion, we came to agree that you passed the test.”

Long Haochen had a start, and suddenly lifted up his head, “But I lost!”

Yang Haohan let out a slight laugh, “Is it a shameful thing to lose in front of a Divine Knight? Your performance was already earth-shattering. From now onwards, you will be a Pure Gold Foundation Knight. After looking for a new mount in the Knights’ Saint Mountain, you can start your mission of collecting ten million contribution points.”

“Yes!” Long Haochen appeared surprised, straightening his posture in reaction.

Yang Haohan resolutely continued, “However, I have to set basic rules for you to follow. You have already fought many times against the demons, so there must be quite a few demon powerhouses that are familiar with your battle style, and the knowledge regarding some of your abilities must be spreading amongst their ranks. Therefore, you have to do your utmost to conceal your identity. First of all, you cannot rashly use your dual sword wielding, and the same goes for your spiritual stove. These two features are just too conspicuous. Also, you have to remain fully armored in the battlefield at anytime, keeping your face hidden. Also, avoid using your personal abilities that are known by the enemies, understood?”

Long Haochen nodded earnestly.

Yang Haohan declared, “You have to know that if your identity leaks out, it will very likely cause the Demon God Emperor, the Moon Demon God and the Star Demon God to react. At that time, a calamity is bound to befall upon our Knight Temple. If you want the day you can reunite with your comrades to come, you have to proceed with utter care.”

“Yes, sir.” Long Haochen replied formally.

Yang Haohan replied, “Alright, go get some rest. From now on, you will be the 12th Pure Gold Foundation Knight. In the Knight Temple, only twelve of our Pure Gold Foundation Armors are at the Epic Tier. Come to find me tomorrow in the morning to get your battle armor, and then I’ll arrange your departure to the Knights’ Saint Maintain. Go on.”
