Chapter 232: Chapter 115 Teachers are Back_1

"Dragon elder brother and rat younger brother?" Ling Menglu’s expression turned strange after hearing the brothers’ experience on the Knights’ Holy Mountain.

Seeing her trying to hold back her laughter, Long Kongkong protested, "It’s the Dragon Emperor who felt unworthy of me, got it? Please call me the Sky Devouring Knight in future."

"Alright, Sky Devouring... rat knight." Ling Menglu’s laughter made her tremble, breaking the sacred aura she naturally exudes, as though a fairy had been tainted by worldly matters.

"Only Sky Devouring, Sky Devouring Knight!" Long Kongkong angrily responded.

Long Dangdang asked, "Cousin, how do you think we should arrange our tactics for the demon hunting team selection tournament?"

Ling Menglu faced him, managing to control her emotions better when not looking at Long Kongkong, especially the image of him riding a big rat.

"We’re indeed in for some trouble in this selection tournament. The demon hunting team selection doesn’t allow free combination of participants. The grouping is based on one’s strength. Nearly eight hundred people are participating, but only the strongest sixty will be selected, with a limit of ten people per occupation. So, to pass the selection, you have to rank within the top ten of your occupation. I think you shouldn’t have a problem with this, but Kongkong might find it challenging."

Long Kongkong snorted, "My brother wants to take the test for me."

Ling Menglu was taken aback, "Exchange one’s life for another? Then what about you?"

Long Dangdang explained, "I will take the mage’s test. I will enter as a mage. This is the only way to avoid duplication of roles. The demon hunting team requires only one person per occupation, right?"

Ling Menglu frowned, "No, this isn’t good. You can’t do this."

Long Dangdang thoughtfully said, "You mean, from the Knights Temple’s perspective..."

Ling Menglu nodded, "You’ve already refused to fully join the Knights Temple. They are quite concerned about the Dragon Emperor Knight, a knight that has never appeared in the history of the Knights Temple. Once they realize this, they certainly won’t give up on you, and they can’t. If under these circumstances you join the demon hunting team as a mage, how do you think the Knights Temple would feel? Isn’t this forcing them into an unfavorable position?"

Long Dangdang frowned, "But if I compete as a knight, I will not only take up one spot, making it harder for Kongkong to get in, but our team also won’t have room for two knights."

Ling Menglu was also in a dilemma, "This really is problematic. I’ll go back and ask my grandfather. Maybe there is a way we can work around it. But, do not sign up as a mage under any circumstances. This would be a grave mistake. It would be hard for the Knights Temple to justify. The Knights Temple has been good to you. They even granted you the status of reserve Sacred Legate, especially given that it’s the Number One Temple. If you want to become a God’s Seal knight in the future, you will need the Temple’s support."

Long Dangdang nodded, "Alright, we’ll see what Grandfather says first."

Ling Menglu added, "Also, after making it to the list of top sixty, participants will draw lots to battle for the top ten spots to form the demon hunting team. The top ten, in order of ranking, will take turns choosing teammates to maintain team balance. For instance, if I am first and you are second, I will choose the first teammate and then you choose the second, and so on. Then we start a second round. Thus, if we want to be in the same demon hunting team, the safest way is for both of us to get a high ranking. After choosing teammates, we can propose a team combination, which is allowed by the rules. Otherwise, even if I am ranked high and choose you, it would be problematic if Kongkong is picked by someone else."

Long Dangdang frowned. This was indeed a problem. It is foreseeable that Ling Menglu will be among the top rankings as priests get preferential treatment in these type of battles — winning by simply staying unbeaten for three minutes. Considering her talent and strength, no one probably could break her defenses. Her use of the Forbidden Spell in the previous battle has already intimidated all students of the Spirit Furnace Academy. As for the Temple Academy, there likely wouldn’t be anyone with more attacking power than Zisang Liuying.

Therefore, Ling Menglu may well gain first place in this demon hunting team selection tournament. But, apart from her, what about himself? Given the powers demonstrated by Zisang Liuying’s squad, he wasn’t sure he could defeat them.

Zisang Liuying’s combination magic is already intimidating, and the explosive strength of Chu Yu and the overall strength of Tang Leiguang are beyond his current abilities to match, at least with any certainty. Even battling Cai Caijuan’s summoned white phoenix would probably only be reliable if he merged with the Luminous Angel Spirit Furnace. However, this being an individual competition, he couldn’t merge with his cousin’s spirit furnace. Thus, while he was somewhat confident about making the top ten, excavating a top spot seemed difficult.

Ling Menglu said, "I plan to talk to Zisang. After the battle against the wraith legion, their attitude towards us should have changed somewhat. I’ll try to see if I can persuade them to not choose you if they rank highly. That should make things a bit easier."

Long Dangdang frowned. He disliked the feeling of leaving his fate in someone else’s hands. It was again because his own strength wasn’t strong enough!
