“Looking into the distance,” Long Xingyu sighed, saying, “It seems the demons can’t stand being alone again. Haochen, remember, the demons are powerful, but we must never yield. As a knight, we must fight to defend our home until the last drop of blood is shed.”

“Yes,” Long Haochen nodded vigorously in agreement. At this moment, in his heart, his father was not just a teacher, but even a worshipped belief. Without personal experience, it was impossible to imagine the power of the Divine Throne. The vast and boundless spiritual power fluctuations, the earth-shattering light of judgment, had all left indelible marks on his heart.

“Dad, are we leaving here?” Long Haochen asked.

Long Xingyu looked down at him, saying, “The ‘we’ does not include you.”

“Ah?” Long Haochen was taken aback, looking at his father in confusion.

Long Xingyu said calmly, “A fledgling can never become the king of the skies soaring through the heavens if it never leaves the protection of its parents’ wings. I originally planned to guide you for three years, but now it seems that it has to end sooner. I have to take your mother back to the Temple Alliance to deal with some matters, and there’s also an appointment to fulfill.”

“The Temple Alliance is not suitable for you. If you go there with me, you might never become a Divine Knight like me. Only by walking step by step, earning everything through your own efforts, can you truly possess the glory of a knight.”

“Dad, I don’t want to be separated from you and Mom,” Long Haochen suddenly hugged his father’s waist, his eyes full of reluctance.

Bai Yue looked at Long Xingyu, her eyes also filled with pleading.

Long Xingyu stroked Long Haochen’s head, “Silly child, if you are always by your mother’s and my side, you will always have reliance and concern in your heart. Moreover, even if you return to the Temple Alliance with us, you still won’t be able to stay by my side. I’ve been away for a few years, and there are too many things waiting for me to deal with. I’ve already decided on this matter. You must stay.”

Long Haochen’s body trembled slightly, forcing himself not to let his tears fall. Bai Yue, however, had already run crying back into the wooden house.

Long Xingyu pulled Long Haochen in front of him and said in a deep voice, “Haochen, before leaving, Dad will teach you some things one last time.”

Long Haochen said somewhat distractedly, “What is it?”

Long Xingyu said solemnly, “Spirit Furnaces.”

“Spirit Furnaces?” Hearing these two words, Long Haochen couldn’t help but shudder. He had been training with his father for two and a half years and had heard Long Xingyu mention Spirit Furnaces more than once. But all along, Long Xingyu had never instructed him on how to cultivate abilities related to Spirit Furnaces.

Long Xingyu nodded, “Spirit Furnaces are the furnaces of spiritual power. They are not abilities that we cultivate, but a treasure born from the magic of nature. As a knight, we have many knight skills to choose from. However, apart from some self-created skills that we develop ourselves, most skills can be cultivated once we reach a certain cultivation level. But Spirit Furnaces are different. Almost every Spirit Furnace has its own unique characteristics, and even the same Spirit Furnace will produce different effects when cultivated by different people.”

“There are many types of Spirit Furnaces. Currently, there are a total of seventy-four known types. They are suitable for different professions, of which twenty-three are suitable for our knight profession. Some can be shared with assassins and warriors.”

Long Haochen was gradually drawn in by the Spirit Furnaces that Long Xingyu mentioned, “Dad, where can we find Spirit Furnaces?”

Long Xingyu said, “Generally speaking, Spirit Furnaces can only be found where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathers or in some ancient ruins. In any profession, those who possess Spirit Furnaces are one in a thousand. This also includes us knights. However, Spirit Furnaces are the target of pursuit for all professions. Because even just possessing a Spirit Furnace will make us stronger than our peers.”

As he spoke, Long Xingyu took off a black ring from his hand and put it on Long Haochen’s right index finger. Like the Forget-Me-Not ring, this black ring contracted on its own to fit Long Haochen’s finger.

“There are six seals in this Seal Ring. I have sealed various powerful skills of the Retribution Knight, including almost all of them from the fourth to the ninth rank. When your spiritual power reaches the point, you can use your spiritual power to break the seals inside and learn these skills one by one.”

Then he took out a book and handed it to Long Haochen, “This is my own understanding of Spirit Furnaces and a detailed introduction to them. There’s no time to guide you. You have to comprehend it yourself, understand?”

“Dad…” Long Haochen called out, his eyes uncontrollably reddening.

“Put it in your Forget-Me-Not ring.”

Long Haochen nodded lightly. After he possessed internal spiritual power, Long Xingyu taught him how to activate the ring left to him by the Little Mute Girl.

Spiritual power was injected, and the light golden patterns on the Forget-Me-Not ring seemed to come alive. A faint blue light flowed, and with a flash of light, the book recording the mysteries of Spirit Furnaces had been stored inside.

This Forget-Me-Not ring is an extremely precious space ring, capable of storing approximately ten cubic meters of various items. At the same time, the ring also comes with a defensive skill. Once activated, it releases a pale blue shield. As long as spiritual power is continuously injected, this shield will continue to exist. Moreover, its strength will increase according to the spiritual power. Long Xingyu had said that this was a rather rare magical accessory.

Watching Long Haochen put away the booklet, Long Xingyu sighed softly, “Haochen, although Dad has a lot of good equipment, I don’t plan to leave them to you. Because only by relying on your own efforts to obtain any weapon or equipment can you truly learn to cherish it.”

“Dad, I don’t want to be separated from you,” Long Haochen’s tears finally couldn’t be stopped.

Long Xingyu hugged his son and sighed, “Haochen, being emotional is both your strength and your weakness. Remember, without Dad and Mom by your side, you must only speak a third of what you know to others and never give your whole heart.”

“Don’t cry. This is only a temporary separation. Dad hopes that the next time I see you, you will have made me look at you with new eyes.”

“Dad and Mom are about to leave. Although I can’t leave you with any equipment, I have a gift that I’ve been preparing for a long time to give you.”

As he spoke, Long Xingyu released his son and slapped his chest with his right hand. Immediately, a strange white light was released from his chest.

The white light was very soft, but it jumped according to a special energy fluctuation, yet it gave people a sense of calmness.

It was not the energy of holy light, nor was it Long Xingyu’s spiritual power. When Long Xingyu slowly opened his palm, Long Haochen clearly saw that there was a ball of white light in his father’s palm. A small tripod with three legs and two ears, only an inch in height, appeared in Long Xingyu’s palm.

Those white lights were emanating from the white tripod, soft and jumping, with an attractiveness that made it impossible to look away.
