Chapter 715: Terrifying Purplish Gold Haoyue Sword (III) (2/2)

“Grandpa.” Lin Xin bowed to Lin Chen before joining his side.

Lin Chen closed the book in his hands, lifting his head to glance at his grandson, “You shouldn’t have come. Your Bright Glimmer of Hope having achieved such results, your return to our Mage Temple would very likely cause complaints. Your comrades wouldn’t be happy over that.”

Lin Xin chuckled, “Let them complain, so what? As for my comrades, they won’t suspect me. I am honorably visiting my grandfather. So what about that?”

Lin Chen laughed, “You brat, stop giving me this bullshit. You stil remember about your grandfather? Tell me, what have you come to me for?”

Li Xin let out a laugh, but did not immediately speak, still having some hesitation on his face.

“So? You’re not like yourself, if you have something to say, say it.”

Hearing his grandfather’s manner of speech, as if building his resolve, Lin Xin firmly declared, “Grandpa, I want to learn Saint Sun Curse from you.”

“What?” Lin Chen was in great shock, standing abruptly, unaware his chair falling down to the ground.

Giving a blank look to his grandson, Lin Chen’s aged face seemed to twitch due to excitement, “You… Are you for real?”

Lin Xin nodded vigorously, “Grandpa, I want to learn Saint Sun Curse from you. Although it caused the loss of Father and Mother back then, the spell itself is not to be blamed. More importantly, I need this power. As my comrades are getting stronger and stronger, I also need strengthen my own training as well, so that I don’t drop behind and can follow them in the conflict against demonkind. So please, pass Saint Sun Curse onto me. I will be certain to carry forward this secret technique, and research it as the base of my own domain.

Lin chen looked at Lin Xin, remaining silent for several seconds. On this day of great discouragement, he absolutely didn’t expect his grandson to actually bring him such a pleasant surprise.

Although Lin Chen had broken through the ninth step already, his heart was like dead due to Lin Xin’s disappearance. These five short years felt as long as ten years to him.

Lin Xin’s final safe return was like a spark of life pouring back into him. He no longer had any hope other than for his grandson to come back alive.

And in the rest of the Temples’ Great Gathering, Lin Xin gave him even greater surprises. On this day after only a few short years, Lin Xin’s cultivation had actually already broken through the ninth step, and was already no inferior to his own. The Heart of Fire was really far stronger than before, and he had actually even made it to the top six of the competition. Such achievements reassured Lin Chen greatly: he may be taking part as a part of Bright Glimmer of Hope, but so what about it?

In Lin Chen’s eyes, Lin Xin had already been walking on a path of his own. His grandson being already so powerful, he had no will to importune Lin Xin, after all Saint Sun Curse had been an immense burden in Lin Xin’s heart.

For him to now be willing to learn offensive magic was already huge progress.

At that very moment, Lin Xin was standing in front of him, unexpectedly asking him about learning Saint Sun Curse to inherit a generation of Lin Chen’s efforts. How could that not excite him greatly? No, that was already beyond the description of the word excitement’. This grandfather was simply on the verge of collapse from bliss.

Lin Xin supported his dazed grandfather’s body, giving off a laugh, “Don’t get excited. If something bad happens to you, who will be there to teach me Saint Sun Curse? Just look, I will definitely make your creation a mass destruction weapon in the future, to scare all demonkind witless as the dark era will come to an end. Grandpa, please live well until that day comes.”

Lin Chen’s body shook slightly as he nodded consecutively, “Alright, alright. I will be sure to wait for this day, for sure. Come, I am bringing you to the experimental field to teach you Saint Sun Curse.”

Although it was already nighttime, Lin Chen’s excitement had affected him a bit too, as the grandson was also pulled outwards.

Lin Xin was not part of tomorrow’s competition, so he naturally had no qualms staying up all night. Grandfather and grandson excitedly left the room and proceeded for the magic experiment room.

A short time after they were gone, another nearby door opened close to Lin Chen’s office. Li Zhengzhi came out from within, looking towards their departure route, appearing in great ponder. Who knew what he was thinking?

The Temples’ Great Gathering’s individual competition was over, but the masses in Holy City were not the least relaxed, but instead even more excited.

The competition kept going, and today the Priest Temple was also part of the festivities. The total ranking was bound to change accordingly; after the Priest Temple underwent their first round of spiritual energy assessment, it brought them a final total of sixty points, a result close to all the previous sessions.

Today, every Temple would send their strongest three people for spiritual energy assessment.

A huge crystal pillar was erected on the center of the field on the previous evening, specialized for spiritual energy measuring.

Right now, the Six Great Temples had all already dispatched three of their people, and Bright Glimmer of Hope was no exception.
