Chapter 659: Chapter 329: Covenant and Advent_1

When he discovered the Luminous Unicorn, Jing YunDao was over the moon. After all, who wouldn’t want this mount that had the potential to ascend to the tenth level and was magnificently majestic in its own right? Leveraging the advantage of a Protection Knight, he had clearly gained the upper hand. However, at this moment, when he suddenly looked back and saw a red flame rising from Chiang Yiyao’s body, he was taken aback.

"Stop it, are you crazy? Sacrifice burns the very essence of your being. I’ll let you have it." Although unwilling, Jing YunDao made a decision on the spot. He and Chiang Yiyao were classmates, though not particularly close, but still, they were classmates!

Female knights were a rare sight among knights, and Chiang Yiyao was the only one in their class. Normally, knights would choose their mounts after graduation, but for some reason, the Knights Temple altered the rules and allowed mounts to be chosen in advance. So, they were both here.

Jing YunDao had discreetly taken an interest in this rare female knight but, like their other classmates, who didn’t have a soft spot for this beautiful yet hard-working female classmate? Not considering himself exceptional in any way and not wanting any trouble, he naturally focused on his studies but to his surprise, after entering the Knights’ Holy Mountain, he ran into her and together, they encountered this unicorn.

"I don’t need you to step aside!" Chiang Yiyao stubbornly retorted, her figure mysteriously taking a big step ahead of Jing YunDao, surrounded by the red flames.

Jing YunDao’s shield slightly trembled but eventually, he took no action. He even retracted his shield slightly, sighing secretly and hoping she would quickly complete this test and end the sacrifice. That was more important now!

"Why do you have to do this." Right then, a golden light suddenly descended from the sky, covering Chiang Yiyao’s body, and the red flames burning on her were instantly pressed back into her body. Chiang Yiyao’s body stiffened, and the next moment, the golden ripples released by the unicorn struck her and hurled her a dozen meters away.

Chiang Yiyao, who had just activated her sacrifice skill, instantly turned pale. She had failed!

A figure landed from the sky, standing in front of Jing YunDao, and the appearance of this figure made the Luminous Unicorn, filled with luminosity, stall for a moment. The light patterns it was releasing immediately vanished.

Long Dangdang carefully observed, and confirmed that this was indeed a Luminous Unicorn instead of a Star Brilliance Unicorn. This was because a Star Brilliance Unicorn’s forehead has an additional star-shaped pattern. The Star Brilliance Unicorn belongs to a class within the Luminous Unicorns and has a slightly higher bloodline level, making it easier to ascend to the tenth level.

Jing YunDao heaved a sigh of relief, quickly turning to look at Chiang Yiyao who now looked ready to collapse, her dual swords supporting her to prevent her from falling.

"Brother, are you also here to get a mount?" Jing YunDao then turned to Long Dangdang.

Long Dangdang was taken aback, and then nodded.

As per the Knights Temple’s rules, one could only enter the Knights’ Holy Mountain if they were choosing a mount. He had already made an exception by coming here today. It was better not to let others know about it. As an owner of the Adamantine Cathedra, he certainly had to uphold the Knights Temple’s rules.

"A mantis stalking a cicada unaware of an oriole behind? You want to reap where you have not sown?" Chiang Yiyao called out, unwilling to accept it.

Long Dangdang looked at this stubborn girl, not feeling malice towards her. That a girl chose the path of a knight was an embodiment of courage in itself. Moreover, girls who practice professions like knights or warriors are naturally at a disadvantage, unless they are exceptionally gifted like Wang ChangXin. How could they catch up with boys without working hard? Therefore, he admired her even more for using sacrifice to fight, especially because she was a Punisher Knight.

Shaking his head, Long Dangdang said, "This Luminous Unicorn is not my target..."

As he was speaking, all of a sudden, the Luminous Unicorn, which had withdrawn its Spiritual Power, suddenly took a big step, fast approaching him. A rune had lighted up on its golden horn, its eyes filled with anticipation, eagerness, and a hint of, well, a pitiful air about it.

Jing YunDao blurted out, "Contract Runes?"

Before coming in, their teacher had instructed them about various things to note within the Knights’ Holy Mountain. The most important among them was that when a magical beast fully approved of you, it would voluntarily release contract runes. Whenever you were ready, you could sign a contract, and moreover, this type of contract, in most cases, exceeds a contract of equality.

While he was speaking, the Luminous Unicorn had already reached Long Dangdang’s face, lowering its horn, presenting the runes before him.

"And you said it’s not!" Chiang Yiyao retorted in annoyance. Looking at Long Dangdang, who simply needed to lift his hand to sign a contract with the Luminous Unicorn, although he was incredibly handsome, she had no time to take notice of this, only feeling unwillingness and a trace of jealousy.

Long Dangdang was also left somewhat helpless. He, of course, understood why the Luminous Unicorn chose him. His innate inner spiritual power had long exceeded ninety, so under these circumstances, the attraction he held for the Luminous Unicorn was self-explanatory. Furthermore, his cultivation level had reached the 7th Rank, and with the aid of his Light Element Physique, the Luminous Unicorn strongly identified with him. Had this been an adult Luminous Unicorn, it might have realized that he already had a companion, but this young Luminous Unicorn was only following its instincts, naturally thinking of him as the best partner candidate.
