Sealed Divine Throne II: Twin Sons of Dragon
Chapter 84 - 84 42 Impressive Cousin The assessment begins

Chapter 84: Chapter 42: Impressive Cousin! The assessment begins! _1 Chapter 84: Chapter 42: Impressive Cousin! The assessment begins! _1 “My cousin is really triumphant!” Long Kongkong exclaimed enthusiastically as if he had been selected, and he even nudged his older brother who was standing beside him.

Long Dangdang was taken aback. He hadn’t expected Ling Menglu to choose him. Knights Class One had become the focal point of attention.

Even top freshmen talents like Zisang Liuying, Cai Caijuan, Tang Leiguang, and Chu Yu turned their heads to find this stranger.

Knight Class One’s young knights also looked over in shock. While there were ranks among the five top talents of first grade, the most gifted and mysterious one was this divine maiden. It was widely accepted that as long as she grows normally, she would surely enter the Sacred Legate in the future. This evaluation was still considered conservative. Since she hardly interacted with students outside of Priests Class One, almost everyone had never seen her true appearance. Yet now, she had unhesitatingly chosen a student from Knights Class One, and not just any student, but a new transfer student. How could that not be shocking?

Even the dean paused for a moment. Apparently, he found the name Long Dangdang to be somewhat unfamiliar.

“Now, let’s begin the lower grade draw,” announced the dean.

The draw was simple. Students from the three-specialization magic alternated in drawing lots. Whoever is drawn by the 3-specialization close combat students would be paired together.

“Dangdang, do you think there’s a beautiful mage who will draw me?” Long Kongkong blurted out enthusiastically.

Long Dangdang cast a glance at him, “Ribs Shop Goddess.”

“What about a lovely summoner?” Long Kongkong’s excitement grew.

Long Dangdang: “Ribs Shop Goddess.”

“If it’s a priestess, that would also be fine. I’ve seen quite a few pretty girls among the priests,” Long Kongkong said, grinning.

Long Dangdang: “Ribs Shop Goddess.”

“Okay, okay. I was just looking, and if she draws me, it’s not my fault,” Long Kongkong retorted irritably.

Long Dangdang said, “I am curious to see who will be unlucky enough to draw you.”

Within Grade one, with six classes and sixty-two students, the drawing results came out quickly.

“Why am I the one to draw the short straw?” cried He Hongyin.

Yes, by the time they reached the end of the draw, He Hongyin and Long Kongkong were unavoidably two students of the 3-specialization close combat who were unpaired. Therefore, they, both close combatants, were reluctantly paired together.

“Hey, am I that bad?” Long Kongkong shot back defensively.

He Hongyin gave him a look of sorrow, as if asking, do you really not know how strong you are?

“I’m at the 4th Rank already!” Long Kongkong announced proudly.

Everyone was taken aback, but their expressions returned to normal quickly. So what if he’s 4th Rank? Spiritual power can be 500 at 4th Rank or 1990 at the same rank; these two levels were nowhere near each other.

Anyway, the draw was finished, and it couldn’t be changed now. The draws for the second and third graders had also been completed in succession.

“The trial is about to begin. Form pairs at the lower level. During the trial, when you are judged unable to continue, you will be teleported back, signifying the end of your trial and fixing your scores. Therefore, hope you can persist for a longer time and defeat more of the demon tribe,” the dean announced.

With the dean’s words, there wasn’t any change on the side of the senior students, as they were all in teams of six. However, those on the lower level quickly moved into action, swiftly pairing up with their randomly assigned partners from the draw.

Of course, the most noticeable was the Divine Maiden Menglu. She walked gracefully to Long Dangdang’s side standing next to him completely unfazed.

Looking at Long Kongkong, who was standing next to He Hongyin, Ling Menglu asked softly, “Is that your younger brother?”

“Yes. Thank you for choosing me, cousin,” Long Dangdang replied with a smile.

Ling Menglu said, “Actually, my grandfather told me to choose you for today’s trial so that he could gauge your abilities through me. But I also wanted to choose you because I am not familiar with anyone from the close combat branch, and after all, we are relatives. Cousin Dangdang, you have to protect me, okay?”

Long Dangdang chuckled and said, “My cousin is a divine maiden, it should be you protecting me.”

The two looked at each other at the same moment, flashes of surprise in both their eyes. In that instance, they both understood why they felt a sense of familiarity. It seemed that their characters were somewhat similar.

Those who didn’t know their situation were shocked to see their conversation. They appeared to be having a good time chatting!

“Everyone, get ready.” The higher-ups of Spirit Furnace Academy descended from the sky and landed on the ground.

Everyone immediately focused, their eyes becoming stern.

“I am Zhou Shuixi, the 51st Dean of Spirit Furnace Academy, and I cordially invite the wise ones here today,” the old dean announced loudly, which caused the entire academy to resonate in response. A slight vibration could be felt in the air.

Long Dangdang concentrated and immediately noticed that the air was getting heavier with elemental energy. It seemed like the entire Spirit Furnace Academy was rising.

The next moment, the sky began to change. Light colors rotated in the sky as nine groups of strange lights began to gather. Nine beams of light arose from different parts of the Spirit Furnace Academy, and as soon as they merged into the nine groups of lights in the sky, the fluctuation of elements in the air increased tenfold, making the air seems thickened.
