Chapter 459: Chapter 228: Temple Summoning_2

Long Dangdang had a sudden realization. This was somewhat similar to Ling Menglu’s previous guess. However, what was different was that this God’s Seal Knights Temple had already made it very clear. If one wanted to obtain more resources from the Temple, they had to show their abilities. The higher the potential, the more resources they would naturally get. This was not like getting resources from the Academy; it is likely that it could rise to the level of core resources of the Knights Temple, such as the mithril cathedra armor which he had already seen and greatly coveted. That was a full set of legendary class armor! As a standard Knight, Li Hongche was just a 7th Rank Knight of the Temple, but with the mithril cathedra armor, he was able to fight stiffly with an 8th Rank undead for a short period, which shows how powerful the equipment was.

However, in order to challenge the rank of mithril cathedra knight, one must at least be a Temple Knight. He wondered if he could have the opportunity to have a try. Thinking of this, Long Dangdang asked, "Lord Sacred Legate, could we know what kind of resources we might earn from the Temple?"

"The 6 Great Sacred Temples prioritize equipment beyond individual strengths. Now, your equipment is somewhat lacking. So, we will first aid you in this regard to enhance your ability to survive."

"Can we have the mithril cathedra armor?" Long Dangdang asked again.

Xuan Hanyan smiled, "You haven’t reached the 7th rank yet, right?"

"Yes." Long Dangdang nodded.

Nan Yu said, "According to the information we collected before you entered the Righteousness Hall, you hadn’t even reached the 6th rank. Your Cultivation Level will not increase during your time in the Righteousness Hall, you have already delayed nine months. Young man, don’t aim too high. I know you two brothers have the ability of Spirit Furnaces Fusion, but without Ling Menglu, your method of Spirit Furnaces Fusion cannot be used."

Long Dangdang asked, "Then how can one become a mithril cathedra knight?"

Xuan Hanyan replied, "In our Knights Temple, whether you want to become a mithril cathedra knight or an adamantine cathedra knight, there’s only one way - challenge. Challenge an existing mithril cathedra knight, and if you defeat them while they are wearing the mithril cathedra armor, you will be eligible to become the new mithril cathedra knight."

Long Dangdang blinked his eyes and nodded, "I understand."

Xuan Hanyan continued, "Let’s talk more about that later, first, we will carry out tests on each you to determine your current statuses."

Long Dangdang asked, "Lord Sacred Legate, does this mean that I will have to undergo similar tests in the Magic Temple as well?"

Xuan Hanyan hesitated for a moment, "Do you want to go?"

Long Dangdang replied, "When I just started as a professionist and was cultivating, I also received help from the Magic Temple. I can’t refuse them."

Xuan Hanyan nodded, "It’s up to you. Let’s finish the tests of our Temple first."

Nan Yu replied: "Now, you have two options, one is to test individually, and because of the uniqueness of your twin nature, you can also choose paired testing. However, the difficulty of paired testing will be somewhat higher, after all, the ability of your spirit furnaces to complement each other will score extra points."

Long Dangdang turned to look at Long Kongkong, immediately seeing Long Kongkong’s pitiful expression. Shooting him an annoyed glance, she turned to Nan Yu: "Lord Paladin Commander, let’s proceed with the paired test. After all, Kongkong is currently my squire."

"Alright," Nan Yu nodded, then paid his respects to Xuan Hanyan.

Xuan Hanyan smiled and told Long Dangdang and Long Kongkong, "Do your best. The final resources that the Temple allocates will depend on your performance this time."

Nan Yu said, "Follow me."

Under the guidance of the Paladin Commander, Long Dangdang and Long Kongkong followed him into a room arranged with a teleportation array formation. Without any preparation or even a chance to ask questions, the two were immediately teleported away.

Nan Yu returned to the Sacred Legate, bowed to Xuan Hanyan, and reported, "Sacred Legate, they have been sent to the test field."

Xuan Hanyan mused, "What do you think of their potential performance?"

"Based on the information we have gathered so far, Long Dangdang is the leader and core member of Demon Hunter Team 19115897. However, the most powerful member is Ling Menglu, the Goddess from the Priests Temple. Ling Menglu possesses an extraordinary talent, her inner spiritual power likely reaching as high as 99, making her the first genius of the Priests Temple in thousands of years. In a recent urgent mission for her demon hunting team, Ling Menglu slew an 8th Rank undead by tapping into her own explosive power. Her power to constrain wraith entities is unveiled through her brushing aside the element of luck. According to Li Hongche’s report, Long Dangdang also demonstrated remarkable prowess. After fusing the power of the three great Wisdom Spirit Furnaces, he assisted Li Hongche in killing another 8th Rank undead, effectively reversing the tide of battle. Without a doubt, Long Dangdang also possesses exceptional talent, but falls short when compared to Ling Menglu’s supreme brilliance. Moreover, his main issue stems from the fusion of the Clear Moon Vast Ocean Spirit Furnace. According to our records, the Clear Moon Vast Ocean Spirit Furnace places substantial limitations on its host, requiring the host to continuously supply a spiritual power of twenty thousand in order to repair itself. However, the time required to cultivate such an enormous quantity of spiritual power at the 6th Rank is extraordinarily lengthy, and none of its previous hosts have been able to achieve this. As such, I’m not very optimistic about Long Dangdang."

"On the other hand, his brother Long Kongkong has astonishingly gained the approval of the Senior Small Tree from the Spirit Furnace Academy, despite his inferior cultivation level. But Long Kongkong is advancing rapidly, and with the support of the Senior Small Tree, he holds a promising future. He has explored the mystery of the Elemental Vortex Spirit Furnace, even capable of devouring and filtering the spiritual power of wraiths from wraith entities. It would not be an exaggeration to call him a nemesis of the undead. I think we should provide him with more resources, accelerate his growth."

Xuan Hanyan slightly nodded and said, "I have also specifically researched the Clear Moon Vast Ocean Spirit Furnace. One of the most ancient wisdom spirit furnaces, in that era it was known as one of the 12 Watchers Spirit Furnaces, although it was later damaged. The twelve Watchers were all dedicated to protecting our plane against the first clash with the invading Demon God’s Pillar from the demon tribe. That battle afforded humanity an opportunity to breathe. Therefore, we should also strongly support the Watchers’ spirit furnaces that still exist. If Long Dangdang can assist this predecessor in completing its restoration in the future, he too will have the opportunity to soar in his ability."

Nan Yu chuckled bitterly, "But this process is exceedingly lengthy. Under normal circumstances, it’s considered exceptional genius if someone can reach the 9th Rank through steady cultivation at around thirty years old. However, this depends on constant progression and consequent increases in cultivation speed. An inner spiritual power of two hundred thousand, equivalent to 9th Rank Level 2, has been an obstacle to many talented individuals, let alone achieving this quantity of spiritual power at the 6th Rank. This probability is indeed very low. His innate spiritual power is reaching ninety, making him undoubtedly a talent in and of itself. He would definitely have been a primary object of cultivation if he hadn’t fused with this spirit furnace."

Xuan Hanyan sighed softly, "For him, this is a fortune, an opportunity, but also a tremendous bottleneck. Let’s first see what results they can achieve in this test. However, the simple fact that a top-talent individual like Ling Menglu would agree to have him as the leader of the demon hunting team demonstrates that this young man’s talents extend beyond the ordinary, he also possesses an extraordinarily charismatic personality and wisdom. These qualities are equally important and worthy of promotion."

"Indeed."

Under the gentle halo, with the pressure of the familiar surroundings slowly dissipating, an oppressive feeling coursed through Long Dangdang and Long Kongkong. Unconsciously, they both knitted their brows, using their spiritual power to counteract the pressure from the external environment.
