Chapter 82: Chapter 41, Evaluation and Selection!_1 Chapter 82: Chapter 41, Evaluation and Selection!_1 Hep’s Ribs Shop.

“Kongkong, come here for a moment,” Father Hep calls out from the kitchen to summon Long Kongkong.

Having just finished a busy day, Long Kongkong had recently helped Hep Benn tidy up the front of the shop.

Walking into the back kitchen, Long Kongkong cheerily asks, “Boss, what’s up?”

Father Hep smiles and says, “You did well today, I think your probationary period is over. You’re better than I expected. I’ve decided to raise your wage to 60 copper coins a day. Here’s your wage for today.” As he speaks, he extends a small cloth bag to Long Kongkong.

Indeed, since Long Kongkong had arrived, whether in the back or front of house, things had been a lot easier. Long Kongkong was busy bouncing between the two, always smiling broadly. He was also handsome, which pleased the eye and the spirits of both Father Hep and his daughter. They had made quite a bit of money that day too, which elevated Father Hep’s mood.

“Thank you, boss.” Long Kongkong places the sack of money into his bosom.

“If there’s nothing else, you can go home early,” said Father Hep, nodding satisfactorily.

“Alright then.”

Returning to the front of the restaurant, Long Kongkong sees Hep Benn arranging the chairs, he hurries over, “Let me, let me. How can we let you do such heavy work?”

Hep Benn chuckles,”I’m not that helpless.”

“Ah…” Long Kongkong sighs

Hep Benn stares blankly, “What’s wrong? What did my dad say to you?”

Long Kongkong feigns desolation, “The boss thinks I’m not doing a great job. He might not need me anymore.”

“What? That’s not possible, you’re doing a great job!” Hep Benn becomes instantly anxious, her pale face immediately flushes rosy, “I’ll go talk to him.” With that, she moves to walk to the back of the shop.

Long Kongkong quickly grabs her, laughing, “Are you worried about me? Can’t bear to see me go? I was just kidding about it, the boss just praised me and even gave me a pay raise.”

Hep Benn is taken aback for a moment, the next instant, she can’t help but slap him on the shoulder, “You’re so annoying! Hurry up and leave, who cares about you?”

“Hehe, then I’ll get off work first. I’ll see you tomorrow morning. Goodbye goddess, good night goddess.” Long Kongkong blew her a kiss, didn’t wait for her to react in mock anger and then turned and ran off.

Watching his retreating figure, Hep Benn couldn’t help but giggle, “He’s so annoying.”

Long Kongkong went straight back to the Temple Headquarters, carrying the badge Na Ye gave him, and immediately went to his teacher’s residence.

When he returned, Na Ye was in his room reading a book, “You’re only just getting back now!”

“Mhm, today I went to visit my grandparents, they were so enthusiastic that I might have to go again tomorrow.” Long Kongkong replied with a big grin, “Teacher, I’ll start cultivating right away, I won’t delay.”

Seeing his rare initiative, Na Ye smiled, “Alright, come to the cultivation chamber, today we must push your Spiritual Power to the 4th Rank.”

“Ah? Teacher, can your body handle it?” Long Kongkong was surprised.

Na Ye replied, “I am a 9th Rank after all, I’m not so fragile. The spirit furnace providential selection ceremony is coming up soon, before then, you need to improve as much as you can, the better your chances. Even in Spirit Furnace Academy, your skills are still at the bottom. Although the Elemental Vortex Spirit Furnace is very special, it is hard to say how much it will help during the spirit furnace providential selection. Power is still the key.”

The weekend passed swiftly, the two days came and went in the blink of an eye.

For the brothers Long Dangdang and Long Kongkong, this weekend was most definitely fulfilling. Long Dangdang spent most of his time learning from the two teachers, with Hai Jifeng getting an extra evening. They would switch again next week.

In contrast, Long Kongkong went to work for his goddess during the day and diligently cultivated at night. Seeing his teacher put in so much effort to use Archangel’s Embrace on him for two days in a row, he really felt embarrassed to slack off. Besides, he also wanted to stay at the Spirit Furnace Academy and continue to be near his goddess in the Holy City!

So, when the new week started, Knights Class One’s classmates couldn’t help but notice that both Long Dangdang and Long Kongkong looked pale and spiritless, one with dark circles under his eyes and a somewhat vacant expression. Both looked utterly exhausted.

During breakfast, Jian Mu couldn’t help asking, “What happened to you two? You didn’t practice with us over the weekend, but you both look really worn out.”

Long Kongkong couldn’t resist replying, “We haven’t been idle! We’re really tired.”

Long Dangdang nodded, “We’ve been practicing some new skills, it’s quite exhausting. How’s everyone’s Explosive Burst practice coming along?”

Upon hearing his question, Jian Mu’s spirits immediately lifted, “Most of us have gotten the hang of it. Give us another week and we should all be able to use it. It’s just that we’re not all equally proficient. But what’s certain is that our ability to burst forth has improved greatly, we really should thank you, Dangdang.”

Long Dangdang smiled, “I’m just happy to help. Let’s all aim to try to unleash the Sacred Sword in Explosive Burst state within this week. If we can activate the Sacred Sword, the upcoming assessments will be much easier to handle.”

Knights Class One’s head instructor, Yan Yao, had evidently came to the same conclusion. Therefore, in the following days of learning and cultivation, she individually guided everyone through the practice of the Sacred Sword.

This was not an easy task, while Explosive Burst does allow a knight’s Spiritual Power to burst forth instantly, controlling the power that exceeds one’s own capacity is not easy. Even though everyone are truly elite, learning to utilize Explosive Burst together with the Sacred Sword in such a short period of time is still extremely challenging. All they can do is persist in their hard practice.
