Chapter 210: Chapter 104: Are you going to get a mount?_2

Twenty minutes later.

"Ah-- Long Dangdang, you lost all humanity! You really hit me!"

"Yeah, I beat you until you couldn’t get up, I want to see how you’ll go meet your goddess."

In the end, Long Kongkong still couldn’t go meet his goddess. The next day he could hardly sit up to meditate. His legs were swollen from Long Dangdang’s beatings from the day before, and so was his face. He really couldn’t face anyone.

"When are you guys leaving?" After a night of cultivation, Ling Menglu asked Long Dangdang.

"We leave the day after tomorrow," Long Dangdang said.

Ling Menglu nodded and said, "I heard from my grandfather that after you get your mounts, the selection for the demon hunting team will begin. We are participating in the selection along with this year’s graduates from Temple Academy’s Main College. They are, on average, three to four years older than us and all are elites. They are mostly around twenty years old, which is the prime age for a professionist. Be prepared. There should be quite a few at the 6th Rank."

Long Dangdang slightly nodded his head, "I understand."

Ling Menglu said, "The selection for the demon hunting team is complicated, I’ll try my best to get a good ranking. But if only I get a good rank, I can’t guarantee that I can choose you two. Do you understand what I mean?"

Long Dangdang was intrigued, "Cousin, do we have the specific selection rules now?"

Ling Menglu said, "The top ten should have the priority to choose in order. But they can only select one person at a time."

Long Dangdang thoughtfully said, "Can the top ten choose each other?"

Ling Menglu said, "People with higher ranks can choose those with lower ranks, but they must get the agreement of the lower-ranked person. Those outside the top ten cannot refuse to be chosen."

Long Dangdang turned to look at Long Kongkong, who had finished meditating and was feigning death on the couch.

"I understand." Long Dangdang nodded.

Two days later, on Monday, within the teleportation array formation of Spirit Furnace Academy, three classes, a total of thirty-two young knights gathered together, led by their class teachers, neatly arranged.

Yan Yao stood next to Long Dangdang. Today, her long hair was loose, giving her a touch of maturity. Her academy teacher uniform made her look very energetic.

Long Kongkong leaned over from the side, "Teacher, do you have any instructions for us?"

Yan Yao shook her head, "Choosing mounts is all about fate. With good luck, you can have anything. With bad luck, even if you have exceptional talent, you may end up with a rubbish mount."

Long Kongkong blinked his eyes, "Bro, should we get our horoscope?"

Long Dangdang couldn’t be bothered with him and said to Yan Yao, "Teacher, in choosing a mount, is it more important to have matching personalities or matching attributes?"

Yan Yao thought for a moment and said, "Personality, I guess. After all, if personalities match, it’s easier to produce a ’chemical’ reaction together."

Long Kongkong leaned over again, "Teacher, what’s your mount? Does it match your personality?"

Yan Yao proudly said, "Of course. My mount is a star brilliance unicorn. After I finish teaching you, I may go to the Temple Knights. Next time you see me, I might have already become a Mithril Cathedra knight!"

Both brothers had gleams in their eyes, Mithril Cathedra knight? That was one of the strongest knights in the Knights Temple. Directly attached to the Knights Sacred Legate, they were also the cradle of the Sacred Legate.

The reason why the Knights Temple is known as the Number One Temple is because it has many aspects that they long for, due to its profound foundation.

"Get ready to leave," Yan Yao said. By that time, the third-year and second-year junior knights had already found their positions within the teleportation array formation.

As soon as all the first-year junior knights were in position, the teleportation array formation began to activate.

No one knows where the Knights’ Holy Mountain actually lies, as it’s considered the central land for the Knights Temple. Knights who are eligible to go to the Holy Mountain for mount selection not only have to undergo rigorous screening and inspection, but they also need to achieve a sufficient level of strength. At the same time, the only way to reach the Knights’ Holy Mountain is via teleportation. Junior knights from the Spirit Furnace Academy are no exception.

The situation this time was even more peculiar. Perhaps because they had just experienced a special real-combat assessment, at the moment the teleportation started, all the teenagers felt as if they were being transported to a virtual world again. They couldn’t help but become a bit tense, and this included both Long Dangdang and Long Kongkong.

A soft halo flickered, and even before their vision became clear, they already felt the chilly wind brushing against their bodies.

They instinctively opened their eyes, only to find themselves in a very strange place.

The thirty or so junior knights looked around involuntarily, expressions of surprise on all their faces.

At that moment, they were on a gigantic platform. More importantly, the platform wasn’t on the ground. Surrounding them were drifting clouds and a strong wind was blowing through them. The wind swept the clouds along, even over their bodies, bringing moisture and chilliness. The surroundings were somewhat blurred.

Were they high up in the sky? Was the Knights’ Holy Mountain actually in the heavens? That was the first impression of most people.

At that point, the fog in front of them suddenly dispersed to both sides, revealing a corridor about ten meters wide. At the end of the corridor stood two massive gates, each a hundred meters tall. Numerous grand patterns were engraved on the gates, seemingly depicting various magical beasts. A feeling of ancient awe rose naturally within them. It seemed that behind those two giant gates, countless powerful magical beasts were hidden, making the junior knights both excited and a bit nervous.

The three class teachers walked in front, and the students naturally followed closely. It wasn’t until they got onto the corridor that they saw that both sides of the corridor were covered with clouds that they couldn’t see through, as if they bordered a bottomless abyss.

Not daring to look anymore, the children each kept close behind, following their teacher until they finally arrived before the two giant gates.

It wasn’t until they truly arrived before these mammoth gates that they could fully appreciate its grandeur. When looking up, they couldn’t even see its top. They could only feel a sense of falling, as if the magical beasts engraved on the gate were going to descend from the sky, pouncing on them.

"Salute," the three class teachers said solemnly. As they were speaking, they initiated the knight’s salute towards the massive gates.

The junior knights didn’t dare to delay and hastily followed suit.

After the salutes, Yan Yao turned around, gestured for the children from Knights Class One to come closer to her, and whispered, "After entering, you will each be transported to different locations. Getting your mounts depends solely on your own abilities. Each type of mount will react differently when chosen. Some will leave right away, while others will challenge you to some tests. You must adapt as required. However, do not push yourselves too hard. Although under normal circumstances the magical beasts here won’t harm people, if you encounter an attack, it won’t be easy."

Just after Yan Yao finished speaking, Long Kongkong said, "Teacher, didn’t you say there’s nothing to guide us?"

Yan Yao glared at him, saying, "I’m giving advice, not guidance. In any case, just don’t get ejected from Holy Mountain. This goes for you especially."

Long Kongkong replied, with a grin, "That won’t happen. I’m going to be a dragon knight. The giant dragon might even be waiting for me behind the door."

Yan Yao rolled her eyes and retorted: "Stop daydreaming."

She continued to the others, "Also, when selecting a mount, although the talent of the mount is important, it’s even more crucial how well it resonates with you. This is because magical beasts grow. If you are confident that you can help your mount mutate in the future, then choosing lower-rank beasts is also an option. There have been many instances of lower-rank magical beasts mutating into high-rank ones. But the prerequisite is that the beast must have a high degree of resonance with you."

Finally, she added, "Pray, boys! I wish you all luck in finding a suitable mount."

Just as Yan Yao finished her last sentence, the two massive gates made a "creaking" sound and began to open slowly.
