Chapter 724: Chapter 362: Ling Menglu in Tang Leiguang’s Heart _1

When Tang Leiguang first saw Ling Menglu, he was only six years old. As a member of a warrior family, he was sent to the Temple Headquarters for a test of his innate inner spiritual power at the age of six. The results were delightful, with an innate inner spiritual power as high as eighty-nine, he was designated as a key cultivation target in the family.

It was also on that day, he met Ling Menglu, who was of similar age.

He will never forget the feeling of seeing her for the first time. In his eyes, she was like a little angel radiating dazzling gold light all over. At that time, she still had short hair, golden short hair, and delicate skin as transparent as crystal. Most importantly, her innocent and wide eyes were reflecting as if the whole galaxy. The feeling was indescribable; it was not just beauty, but a direct hit to the heart.

...

"Didn’t your innate spiritual power test went well? Why are you staring blankly at me? My mom said it’s called ’lost in thought’."

"It’s okay if your innate spiritual power is not good. You can still work hard in the future."

...

That was the first time she had spoken to him. He remembered it very clearly, and could never forget her warm smile.

From that day onward, her image deeply imprinted in his mind. He learned her name from his family: Ling Menglu, the eldest granddaughter of the Ling family, one of the inheritance families of the Priests Temple. An exceptional genius with innate inner spiritual power exceeding ninety. A genius even more gifted than he was.

He still remembered telling his father that he liked that girl, and she was very beautiful. His parents took his words as the innocent remarks of a child, and told him with a smile that if he could marry her when he grew up, they would definitely agree.

So, he hid his affection deep in his heart and started working hard in cultivation, desperately improving himself. Moreover, he awakened an extremely rare thunder attribute spiritual power.

However, when he saw her again, he realized that he was still falling behind.

She and Zisang Liuying were regarded as unprecedented geniuses that appeared only once in a thousand years, and both received the full support of their respective temples. Coupled with their family background, her progress was too fast.

Geniuses tend to resonate with each other. The five of them met at school quite easily; not at the Spirit Furnace Academy, but at the junior college of the Main Temple Academy. They were classmates at that time.

While others worked hard in cultivation out of a sense of competition, Tang Leiguang knew that was not the case for him. The reason he worked so hard was simply to catch up with her pace.

They all grew and strived together. The pure smile in his heart became more and more profound.

Later, they successfully enrolled in the Spirit Furnace Academy together. For ordinary students, even those from the Main Temple Academy, it was not easy to get admitted to the Spirit Furnace Academy. However, for geniuses like them, it was just a matter of course.

Entering the Spirit Furnace Academy, they gradually grew up. Along with their bodies, the affection in their hearts gradually evolved and reached a higher level. During a casual chat with Chu Yu, Tang Leiguang learned that Chu Yu had always been in love with Zisang Liuying. At that moment, he felt extremely happy. It was only after some time that he realized his happiness was not solely derived from his friend’s crush, but also because his biggest rival, Chu Yu, liked someone different from him. He always believed that as long as he worked hard enough, he would be the most worthy of her.

Until that day, the appearance of a pair of twins seemed to change everything.

At first, he didn’t consider the twins as competitors at all. But for some reason, ever since they appeared, Ling Menglu gradually got closer to them and distanced herself from their original group of five.

Tang Leiguang became alert, but he soon found out that the two brothers were related to Ling Menglu, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. Later, during the selection of the demon hunting team, it was especially important for them, Ling Menglu wanted to leave their small group for the two brothers. Because including another person, a demon hunting team normally only consisted of six members and couldn’t have two knights.

Zisang Liuying was angry and forced them to make a choice. In truth, no one knew that at that time, Tang Leiguang wanted to choose Ling Menglu’s team. But then, he suddenly caught sight of how Ling Menglu was looking at one of the brothers, Long Dangdang. It was a gaze he had never seen before, at least she had never looked at him that way. It was a gaze filled with trust, admiration, and determination.

At that moment, Tang Leiguang felt a complex mixture of emotions, including pain, anger, and even a hint of pride and jealousy. Influenced by these emotions, he chose Zisang Liuying’s side.

Perhaps everyone thought his decision was based on the better skills of Zisang Liuying and his team, but in reality, that was not the case. His choice was driven by the sorrow and anger in his heart.

However, he soon regretted it. Because he found that not being in the same demon hunting team with her, he had really started to drift away from her. Even wanting to see her became not an easy task afterwards.

Everyone believed that her wrong choice was gradually being proven wrong. Those two brothers began to get stronger and stronger.
