Chapter 231: Chapter 114: Dragon Emperor Knight_2

Upon hearing his words, Nan Yu couldn’t help but furrow his brows, "Clear Moon Vast Ocean Spirit Furnace? I’ve never heard of it, but I will report to the Sacred Legate and look for a solution for you. Dangdang, do you realize that if you don’t agree, the Temple might even take back your mount. The descendant of the Dragon Emperor is simply too vital. This is something I must clarify to you."

Long Dangdang was taken aback, subconsciously turning to cast a glance at Little Eight, who was freely roaming ahead of him. He took a deep breath and said, "I do not regret it."

Nan Yu fell into deep thought, and it took a good while before he finally said solemnly, "From my personal viewpoint, I think your choice is commendable. As a knight, you have successfully resisted temptation and stayed true to your beliefs, which is praiseworthy. However, from the perspective of the Temple, the matter concerning the Dragon Emperor Knight is of utmost importance. I have to report this to the Sacred Legate and wait for their decision. Your current mount, it seems, has just recently hatched and is still very weak. It can’t serve as a proper mount yet. Until it grows stronger, don’t use it and keep it a strict secret. If you need it, the Temple can provide you with a temporary mount; one that certainly has the inherent talent to evolve to rank nine or above. You can use it as a substitute."

Long Dangdang shook his head and replied, "There’s no need to trouble the Temple. I won’t let Little Eight reveal himself for the time being." He vaguely understood that if he was unwilling to completely join the Knights Temple, the Knights Temple might take back Little Eight. If that really happened, he would be deeply disappointed in the Knights Temple.

As for taking back Little Eight, that was impossible. He hadn’t told the Paladin Commander that Little Eight had been hatched from his own bloodline. The agreement they had entered into was not equal, but a blood pact. Not even the Dragon Emperor would be able to dissolve such a pact, let alone the Knights Temple. Although he didn’t understand why the Dragon Emperor had agreed to such a pact with his offspring, there was no doubt that Little Eight was now firmly bound to him.

It was definitely no problem not to use Little Eight for now as it needed time to grow. But he was not limited to just Little Eight — he also had the Little Evil Eye that was bestowed upon him by the Semi-Dominion Evil Eye Tyrant. "Yes, let’s name it Little Evil," he thought.

When Long Dangdang returned to his dorm, Long Kongkong was already waiting for him at the door.

"Big bro, what’s going on? Teacher Yan came to see me just now and warned me to keep your identity as a Dragon Knight a secret. He told me not to tell anyone. Are they trying to keep you under wraps? Boring. If everyone knew you were a Dragon Knight, just how impressive would that be? It’s really..."

Long Dangdang pulled him into the room and briefly explained what had happened at the Knights Temple Headquarters.

"What? Are they trying to coerce you? Is the Knights Temple being unreasonable?" Long Kongkong said angrily.

Long Dangdang shook his head and said, "You can’t put it that way. After all, the matter of the Dragon Emperor’s offspring is crucial, so it is understandable that the Knights Temple has been impatient. Let’s wait and see how they handle it. Don’t worry, no one can take Little Eight away from me. He is already linked to me by blood. Maybe this incident will become the true catalyst for which I decide which of the Great Sacred Temples to join in the future."

Long Kongkong put his hands on his hips and said, "Our teachers aren’t even back. If they were here, there would be someone to back us up. Should we tell Grandpa and the others about this?"

Long Dangdang shook his head and replied, "Neither father nor mother wanted to trouble them at the time, and now we’ve grown up we should try not to bother others even more. Besides, we can handle this matter perfectly well ourselves."

Long Kongkong humphed and retorted, "I would really love to see the look on the Knights Temple’s face when they learn that the agreement you signed with Little Eight is a blood pact."

Long Dangdang glanced at him, gave a light laugh, and responded, "If that turns out to be the case, the Knights Temple would, in all probability, be truly on their last legs."

Long Kongkong laughed heartily and said, "Big bro, you sure are confident! Are you intending to lead the Magic Temple into outshining the Knights Temple?"

Long Dangdang said with some irritation, "You’re overthinking it. What I meant is that if the Knights Temple can’t figure out why I was favored by the Dragon Emperor, then their title as the foremost among the 6 Great Sacred Temples is truly nothing more than an empty honor."

Long Kongkong shrugged and said, "You sure are calm, not worried about a thing! What about the demon hunting team selection competition?"

Long Dangdang replied nonchalantly, "I’ll participate as planned."

A week remained before the competition for the demon hunting team selection could get underway, and the rules of the competition had already been announced.

The current final year students at the Temple Academy totaled six hundred. Meanwhile, from the three younger grades of the Spirit Furnace Academy, there were more than a hundred and eighty. The entrants for the selection competition were nearly eight hundred in total.

Only ten demon hunting squads would be selected in the end, which meant that only a tenth of the entrants could be selected.

The number of slots for the selection was narrower than expected, a decision that the Sacred Legate came to after rigorous investigation. Those graduating from the Main Temple Academy were undisputedly exceptional talents with promising futures. Should they be required to carry out dangerous missions prematurely and happen to lose their lives, the loss would be considerable. The students from the three younger grades at the Spirit Furnace Academy were even more so. Therefore, the finalists have been determined to allow only the most eligible talents to form the demon hunting team. The other students would be given the opportunity to continue their studies.

So, no matter the profession, only ten people could join the demon hunting team, becoming a member of the team. The demon hunting team selection competition completely depends on individual strength.

"Big bro, do you think I stand a chance?" Long Kongkong asked Long Dangdang.

Long Dangdang nodded, "It will be tough. It’s not going to be easy to make it into the top ten among over a hundred knights. Most of them are over 5th Rank. There is even a possibility of a 6th Rank knight among the graduates from Temple Headquarters. You, only at 4th Rank, will find it hard."

Long Kongkong furrowed his eyebrows in concern, "What should I do?"

Long Dangdang took a deep breath and said, "Let me take the test for you."

"Huh?" Long Kongkong gaped in surprise, "You taking the test for me? Can that work? Our abilities aren’t really the same."

Long Dangdang pondered and said, "Indeed it might pose a problem, or if your physical strength was somewhat stronger, you could transform in advance. But are you capable of handling the strength of the Icy Moon Angel?"

Long Kongkong shook his head like a rattle drum, knowing that even Long Dangdang had a hard time harnessing it, so there was no way he could handle it.

"Or we could both not participate. We can wait and see what happens next." Long Dangdang suggested after a thought.

"What about cousin?" asked Long Kongkong, bewildered.

Long Dangdang said, "We can’t afford to worry about so much. I can’t very well be away from you. Even with me by your side all the time, you still manage to get into trouble. If I’m not there, who knows what you might do?"

Long Kongkong retorted indignantly, "I am the man who is going to protect you!"

"Hehe. Then you’d better work hard!"

"How about we consult our cousin and see what to do?" suggested Long Kongkong.

Long Dangdang nodded and said, "We do need to discuss it with her."
