Chapter 479: Chapter 238: The 4th Dragon Knight?_2

Long Dangdang forced himself to rise from the bed, struggling against an overwhelming sense of weakness that made him feel dizzy. He took a deep breath, steadying himself to sit cross-legged. Regardless of where he was, he had to first recover his strength.

He silently sensed the elements in the air around him. The next moment, he opened his eyes in surprise. He could distinctly feel that his spiritual power had unexpectedly increased by a significant amount. Previously, his spiritual power had already been considered strong among his peers. However, now it was much stronger. Even in his weakened state, his perception of the elements became more vivid. He could feel the existence of each element around him as if they were living entities. And when he extended his spiritual power to touch them, these elemental forces naturally flowed into his body.

With the infusion of elements, his strength gradually returned. They nourished his body and replenished his spirit power, gradually filling what had been hollowed out.

There were no changes in his internal and external spiritual power, which remained the same as his last cultivation attempts in the test space. After all, as long as he did not increase his external spiritual power, he couldn’t boost his internal spiritual power either. But his spiritual strength had definitely increased. His mental spirit ocean even seemed broader. This could be regarded as an unexpected joy.

The Demon God was indeed powerful! Even the one ranked last rendered them incapable of resisting. Long Dangdang unconsciously clenched his fist. He had to admit that there was still a significant gap between him and a truly powerful expert.

After gathering some strength, he probed into Long Kongkong’s condition. Kongkong’s state was similar to his own, heavily drained and deeply asleep, but his vital signs were normal. This reassured Long Dangdang quite a bit.

He still wondered whether the Knights Temple was satisfied with his performance in the test. After all, defeating that group of devils was something that would usually be beyond the reach of 5th and 6th Rank knights.

Long Dangdang thought about his inadequacies during the test. Besides his current cultivation level, the lack of skills and equipment were also problems.

His core equipment was the Heart Glory Kit’s gloves. Aside from that, he didn’t have any other noteworthy gear, not even a real weapon. His skills were also insufficient. Even though he had learned some knight skills before, given his own explosive power, they were not enough. He urgently needed to add more skills for a Punisher Knight to his repertoire.

Once this test was over, he must make time to learn. After all, as a reserve Sacred Legate, learning skills didn’t require any merit points. He could simply learn several secret techniques of the 7th Rank Punisher Knight to enhance his strength. He also needed to learn more magic. There were not many he could actually combine with his magic now. He would have to ask his teachers for guidance. He wondered if they were back yet.

Just as Long Dangdang was considering everything, the heavy wooden door of the room was pushed open. Paladin Commander Nan Yu walked in.

Seeing Long Dangdang sitting on the bed, Nan Yu smiled and asked, "Awake? How are you feeling?"

Long Dangdang quickly stood up and saluted him, "I feel okay, just a bit weak."

Nan Yu said, "Now that you’re awake, come with me. Your brother, I don’t know why, is in worse shape than you are, probably needs more time to recover."

Long Dangdang glanced at Long Kongkong, still somewhat worried about him.

Seeing his hesitation, Nan Yu reassured, "This is the heart of our Knights Temple. Rest assured, he’ll be fine."

Only then did Long Dangdang follow Nan Yu out of the room. Under Nan Yu’s guidance, they entered a larger room that looked like a study. The room was simply furnished, the wooden bookcase against the wall looked ancient.

Nan Yu let Long Dangdang sit down on the brown leather sofa of the saddle, while he sat opposite him.

"Your test is now complete. Are you confident in your performance?" Nan Yu asked with a smile.

Long Dangdang said, "I think it was alright."

Nan Yu said, "It was not just alright. At least at your age, in the records of our Knights Temple, you should be the best so far, which was beyond our expectations. Senior Small Tree even told us, because you are a dragon knight, it was you who created such a miracle. Why didn’t you report this to the temple before?"

Long Dangdang was taken aback for a moment, his mind racing. The Divine Prayers Small Tree Spirit Furnace is involved? And it told the Knights Temple that he was a dragon knight, why was that?

But he was clever, since the temple already knew about it, there was no need to hide anything at this point.

"I apologize, Paladin Commander, the reason I didn’t report before was because I had two magical beast contracts, both of which were blood pacts. My mount, the dragon, is rather special, due to the blood pact, it returned to its weakest state, a newborn that needed time to grow. I feared that it might be in danger, especially if a wraith entity learned of it, so I decided to keep it hidden until it had grown and then report to the temple. Recently, it underwent an evolution and can now fight alongside me, so I decided to bring it out."

Listenting to Long Dangdang’s calm explanation, Paladin Commander Nan Yu looked surprised, "Blood pact? You signed a blood pact with a giant dragon? Was this voluntary?" He was mystified, let alone for dragons, even for the vast majority of magical beasts, it was unlikely they would sign a blood pact with humans, as it would massively restrict them. The moment the host dies, the magical beast would die from backlash of the blood pact, and most magical beasts live far longer than humans. This was even more the case for dragons, who could live for thousands of years, or up to tens of thousands of years if undisturbed, while the lifespan of humans, even for a 9th Rank Powerful Expert, was only up to 300 years.

Long Dangdang hesitated for a moment, then said, "It wasn’t the dragon’s own volition, but its father’s wish. At the time, my partner had just been born, and its father decided to have it sign a blood pact with me."

Nan Yu said, "Dragon knights are of great significance to our Knights Temple. Therefore, the temple is very cautious in this matter. Would you mind showing us your mount dragon?"

Long Dangdang hesitated for a moment, "Here?"

Nan Yu said, "Of course not. Come with me, Lord Sacred Legate needs to confirm your mount dragon personally."

Nan Yu led Long Dangdang up and out, making no attempt to ask what kind of dragon Long Dangdang had as his mount - since he was about to see it soon anyway.

The corridor was equally quaint, reflecting the long history of the building. Led by Nan Yu, Long Dangdang entered a large hall, not the one where the Sacred Legate had been, but a more majestic one. The hall was surrounded by a ring of stone pillars, fifty meters high, making it circular in form. Inside the grand hall, the diameter was more than two hundred meters, combined with a dome ceiling over fifty meters high. The surrounding stone pillars were carved with various statues, primarily of human knights on their mounts, each seemingly telling an extraordinary story.

The place felt like a huge indoor arena. As soon as he stepped foot here, Long Dangdang could feel the thick fluctuations of elemental power in this grand hall, and that contained and sealed array formation feeling.

"This is the Hall of Justice of our Knights Temple. Come on, show us your mount dragon." A gentle voice rang out, and at the other end of the hall, the figure of Xuan Hanyan, the God’s Seal Knight of Education and Heritage, quietly emerged.
