Chapter 153: Chapter 76: Impure Motives_1

Hep Benn, who was being embraced, had her beautiful eyes widened. The initial shock gradually filled her eyes with an unfathomable color. The endless warmth surged continuously into her body from head to toe, making her comfortable and dissolving her fatigue. It felt as if an infinite force was gathering in her body. Every moment of warmth made her feel refreshingly relaxed, inducing her to hum softly in comfort.

For Long Kongkong however, it was an entirely different experience. At this moment, they were face to face. Even though he hadn’t really embraced her delicate body, he was able to clearly sense her breath. Nourished by the Power of Luminosity, the faint fragrance from her body became distinctly richer - as sweet as an orchid, it was heartwarmingly comforting.

Long Kongkong realized his heart was beating unusually fast. Giving Hep Benn a birthday present in this manner was a thought that had taken him an entire day to come up with. However, when he actually carried out the plan, he felt somewhat overwhelmed as a teenage boy.

The golden light from the Angel’s Blessing gradually faded. Although Long Kongkong retained the position of his arms as if still intending to hug her, Hep Benn had already lowered her head, a blush rushing to her pretty face. "You..."

Only now Long Kongkong reacted, hastily lowering his arms and scratching his head sheepishly. "So, you like the gift? Oh right, I forgot to tell you, I’m a student at the Knights Academy. Yup, a Protection Knight. The kind who can protect you."

Hep Benn calmed herself down, looking up at him. She darted him a glance before pushing him lightly on the chest. "Your intentions are impure. It’s not good to be so devious at such a young age." With that, she quickly retreated inside, leaving him gazing at her retreating figure.

Left standing in bafflement, Long Kongkong muttered to himself, "Impure intentions? What impure intentions?" He soon understood what she implied - she was referring to his ulterior motives for working in a rib shop, even though he was a student at the Knights Academy. That must have been it. But she didn’t seem to be angry. Her profile seemed to hint at a smile when she turned to leave.

He took a deep breath through his nose, as if kicking in his devouring domain, greedily absorbing the residual fragrance in the air that she left behind. Only then did Long Kongkong turn to leave, content in his heart. It seemed that she really liked the gift he had bought.

By the time he returned to the Spirit Furnace Academy and arrived at his cousin’s dorm, Long Dangdang and Ling Menglu had already begun their cultivation. Feeling his return, both of them opened their eyes simultaneously.

Seeing his brother coming back progressively later each day, Long Dangdang frowned slightly. Not waiting for his brother to speak, Long Kongkong preempted him excitedly, "Today was her birthday, hehehe."

Long Dangdang said, "Begin your cultivation. Grandfather asked us to meet him next week. He has something to tell us."

"Okay, okay." Long Kongkong was in a good mood and quickly agreed. He sat down cross-legged and the joint cultivation with the three of them began all over again.

With the start of a new week, Knights Class One’s curriculum didn’t differ much from normal. The teachers didn’t particularly teach any battle tactics for actual combat. It was still the usual training regarding knight skills, combat techniques, and the usage of Spiritual Power.

Those who weren’t below the 5th Rank were but three individuals, Long Kongkong included. As for the rest, Long Dangdang and two other classmates had progressed to the 5th rank.

Following the previous examination before the spirit furnace providential selection ritual and then the recent combat training, Knights Class One’s status in the freshman year was quietly changing. Although they still didn’t have mounts, the role of knights, especially protection knights in the team, was gradually being recognized and loved by other classes. Hence, while forming teams for actual combat training, these young knights ended up with decent teammates, giving them a sense of pride and relief.

Long Dangdang and Long Kongkong, the two brothers, attended class every morning, followed by joint cultivation with their cousin in the afternoon. The Celestial Abyss Ocean was the best method to enhance Spiritual Power, but they couldn’t persist for too long. Otherwise, Long Kongkong’s body would feel overwhelmed. Hence, they conducted combat drills and joint efforts for a period, further finessing various combinations of the spirit furnaces. They then devised several tactics for actual combat training. The evenings, naturally, were for the Divine Prayers Icy Moon Angel. Supported by the three great Wisdom Spirit Furnaces, their cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds.

In a blink of an eye, it was the second week of combat training. The junior-grade students were once again transported into the simulated world of the demon tribe.

Feeling the oppressive darkness around them they recall with familiarity, the three of them wasted no time in sprinting towards the nearby mound without any delay.

While running, Long Kongkong said, "I wonder if it will be the same as last time, or if there will be any new arrangements. If there are any, then the strategies we prepared will go to waste!"

Long Dangdang said, "There’s no such thing as going to waste. Variations revolve around a core principle. Regardless of how many changes there are, they are limited. Each time we adjust to adapt with tactical memories, is a progression for us."

They soon discovered that there was no new arrangement. The vast open field was once again filled with the horde of the dual blades demon legion, running unabashedly towards the mound they were headed to.

Seeing no changes, the three of them began to act immediately, without the need for much discussion.
