Chapter 743: Chapter 371 Father and Son_2

"No tears. You’re a man! A man can only shed blood, hold yourself together." Shi Zhenghui sternly berated.

Shi Zeyu’s body stiffened, it seemed like that man was back again, he promptly lifted his head, preventing the tears in his eyes from falling. The Spiritual Energy surged, naturally dissipating the tears.

"Father, what should I do?" Shi Zeyu asked with a trembling voice unconsciously.

"Identify the problem, find the solution." Shi Zhenghui coldly spoke.

"I understand. I will definitely defeat Zisang Liuying and make it out of the group stage." Regaining his posture, Shi Zeyu’s fists clenched tightly. His slightly red eyes rekindled his fighting spirit in an instant, and his muscles tensed up once more.

"Alright, go back and think it over thoroughly." Shi Zhenghui said lightly, his tone becoming mellower.

"Yes." Shi Zeyu gave his father a knight’s salute, turned around, and strode away.

Shi Zhenghui did not watch Shi Zeyu leave; his gaze fell on the arena where another match had already begun. His expression gradually softened.

Did Shi Zeyu make any mistakes in today’s competition? He did not see any. If it were him at Shi Zeyu’s age, he couldn’t have done any better. The reason being that Shi Zeyu’s opponent was too blessed.

All along, he had been so strict with Shi Zeyu that it reached a point of harshness. At times, he even feared that his only son couldn’t bear it. But, Shi Zeyu demonstrated tenacity, no matter how grueling the training, he always gritted his teeth and persevered. Now, Shi Zeyu held the title of the finest among the younger generation in the Knights Temple. Everything Shi Zeyu achieved, he had fought for. The family could provide the conditions and environment for cultivation, but Shi Zeyu won everything he currently possessed, including his equipment.

This was the Shi family’s education. In the rules of the Shi family, there was never a word for spoiling. The more talented one is, the more hardships they must endure. Those who can persevere are the true heirs of the Shi family.

He still clearly remembered, when Shi Zeyu won his first academy championship as a young man, he asked him a question: "Dad, am I your pride?"

His answer at that time was, "You’re still far from it."

He could never forget Shi Zeyu’s expression at that time; it was filled with disappointment, frustration, unwillingness, and a slight sense of being wronged. After all, he was only twelve at that time. Many children at that age were still innocent, but Shi Zeyu started receiving all sorts of knight’s training from the age of three. At twelve, he already had the strength of a 3rd Rank, surpassing his peers.

Since that day, Shi Zeyu’s way of addressing him changed from "dad" to "father."

Until today, until he just heard him calling him "dad" again after these words, how would Shi Zeyu know that when Shi Zhenghui asked him to hold back his tears, the eyes of God’s Seal knight also brimmed with surges of Spiritual Energy, suppressing the surge of wetness in them.

No father doesn’t love their son. How much he wanted to tell his son that even if he failed, he was still his pride. Victory or defeat never affected that. However, he couldn’t. As the head of the Shi family, as Shi Zeyu’s father, he couldn’t.

Taking a deep breath, Shi Zhenghui composed himself and turned his gaze toward a pair of identical looking brothers on one side.

The brother who had just won the match seemed a bit frustrated as he was saying something. However, the elder brother merely wore a slight, smug smile.

The elder brother first noticed his gaze and turned his head towards him. The younger brother instantly noticed the change in his elder brother’s expression and also turned his body, looking in the same direction.

Gazing at the two brothers standing shoulder to shoulder, hard to distinguish from their silhouettes, Shi Zhenghui calmly nodded towards them, and then turned to leave.

"Who was that?" Long Kongkong asked, almost unconsciously.

Long Dangdang’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, the moment he’d locked eyes with Shi Zhenghui, he’d felt as though he were standing face to face with a towering peak. The pressure was immense, as though it could crush everything in its path.

Ling Menglu said in a low voice, "That’s Shi Zeyu’s father, the operator of God’s Seal Cathedra Rex of the Knights Temple, which provides order and law. He dominates and restricts the God’s Seal knight and ranks second only to the Hall Master in the Knights Temple. He is also the head of the Shi family, and the number one judge in the Temple Federation. He holds a pivotal position in the entire Federation."

Long Kongkong exclaimed, "Shi Zeyu’s dad? Is he this strong?"

Ling Menglu said, "The Knights Temple has been the Number One Temple for tens of thousands of years, with a profound foundation. The Shi family ranks among the top three in the entire Federation. His brother is Shi Xing, the Magic Demigod of Magic Temple."

Long Kongkong blinked, "Will his dad take revenge on me?"

Ling Menglu frowned and said, "Don’t talk nonsense. Uncle Shi is known to be the most impartial person in the whole Federation. There’s absolutely no doubt about that. If you doubt this, you’re doubting the authority of God’s Seal Cathedra Rex. A person accepted by this throne would never have any flaws in character. Otherwise, he would be the first one to be rejected by the throne."

Long Kongkong chuckled and said, "No matter what, I won. This was the group of death! Hahaha, surely there will be a place for me in the top eight."

Long Dangdang said, "Say that after you’ve beaten Cai Caijuan."

Long Kongkong grinned again, "If she isn’t afraid of the Rat King eating her white phoenix, then let her come. Hehe."

And really, that’s not entirely impossible. The Rat King threatened the luminous unicorn king today, who’s to tell it can’t bite the white phoenix? For summoners, their birth sign summoned beast is their life!

Not far away, Cai Caijuan was whispering to Zisang Liuying with a troubled expression on her face.

"Zisang, what do I do about that huge rat? Will it bite my little white? It’s terrifying. Did you see Shi Zeyu’s luminous unicorn king? It was taken away without even putting up a fight. How did he do that? How could it be so terrifying? What is that large rat? I shouldn’t have burdened you. I shouldn’t have fought in this round. Now it’s a bit of a problem."

Indeed, for this round, Long Kongkong had defeated Shi Zeyu, and the Rat King’s performance had made their side very uncomfortable. Zisang Liuying had also lost once, conceding defeat to her. Although Cai Caijuan had been victorious in earlier matches, given Shi Zeyu and Long Kongkong’s performance today, beating these two would not be easy. Especially when it comes to Long Kongkong, she was really beginning to panic.

"Even if they rank the same, dragons and phoenixes aren’t the same. The big rat may have attacked the luminous unicorn king, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it can suppress Little White. Don’t worry too much, just strive for the best. Moreover, Long Kongkong wouldn’t dare let that rat eat Little White." Zisang Liuying comforted Cai Caijuan. But at that moment, she felt a strange sensation in her heart.

She clearly remembered, when she first met Long Kongkong, he seemed languid. Later, she found out, he had no abilities, and was even at the bottom of the Spirit Furnace Academy’s first year class.

But in just a few years? He had grown to be strong enough to beat Shi Zeyu? The Long Kongong of the past was always shielded by the brightness of Long Dangdang, and now, he’s grown into an existence that even the brightness of Long Dangdang cannot cover.

Back then, when Ling Menglu decided to join their group, giving up on them to chose these two brothers, Zisang Liuying could not understand it at all. But now, they had used facts to prove how accurate Ling Menglu’s choice was. Were these two brothers not only lining up with top-notch geniuses like them but even going to surpass them?
