“Oh.” Long Haochen was still somewhat immersed in his previous cultivation, contemplating his inner spiritual power and the Spiritual Stove. He simply replied and left the door with Li Xin.

Li Xin tidied her long hair, re-tying it into a ponytail with a blue hairband. She led Long Haochen out the door and back to the main hall, heading straight to the third floor.

Nalan Shu was already waiting there. Seeing them arrive, he smiled at Long Haochen and said, “How was your rest? Are you satisfied with your accommodations?”

Long Haochen first saluted Nalan Shu before replying, “The accommodations are excellent, thank you, Uncle Nalan.”

Nalan Shu smiled slightly. He was growing more and more fond of this child. Having such a powerful father yet possessing no arrogance whatsoever.

“You have already completed the Holy Awakening, proving that you have the strength of a knight. But since you have joined our Haoyue Branch Temple, we must register you. So, I’m having you test your current spiritual power. Starting tomorrow, you will follow the Knight Class to learn the skills and techniques of a Guardian Knight. If you have any questions, come directly to me.”

“Okay,” Long Haochen replied, and with a flick of his wrist, he drew the heavy sword diagonally across his back. Because his father didn’t want him to reveal his Scourge Knight abilities, he only carried a heavy sword, with the other naturally in the Forget-Me-Not Ring.

“Little brother, are you going to change to a Guardian Knight?” Li Xin asked with a puzzled expression.

Long Haochen chuckled and said, “This is my own choice after the last test.”

The spiritual power testing tool was no different from last time, still the same black stone pillar.

“Begin,” Nalan Shu nodded to Long Haochen.

Long Haochen’s eyes focused, and he stepped forward. The heavy sword in his right hand slashed out with lightning speed. A layer of golden light was clearly visible on the sword, not a skill, but a phenomenon produced by the injection of inner spiritual power.

With a muffled thud, a gentle blue halo rose from the walls around the trial hall. Both Nalan Shu and Li Xin stared intently at the top of the black stone pillar.

“Two hundred and sixty-eight.” A large number appeared there.

Nalan Shu and Li Xin simultaneously gasped. Li Xin exclaimed, “Only two points of spiritual power away from being a Level Three Knight! Little brother, are you even human? A Level Three Knight before the age of twelve!”

You know, a year and a half ago, when Li Xin met Long Haochen, she was only at this level. In just a year and a half, Long Haochen had more than doubled his spiritual power. Although this rate of improvement was related to the combined increase in inner and outer spiritual power, it could only be described as astonishingly talented.

Long Haochen stood with his sword lowered. He wasn’t surprised by this spiritual power number, but it was clearly not his true spiritual power cultivation. After fusing with the Holy Guidance Spiritual Stove, his inner spiritual power decreased by more than fifty points. Otherwise, he should have the spiritual power cultivation of a Level Four, approaching Level Five Knight.

“Genius, truly a genius!” Nalan Shu muttered.

Li Xin blinked her big eyes and looked at Long Haochen fiercely, saying, “What a pity, you’re too young. Otherwise, this sister would have claimed you first.”

Looking at her expression, Long Haochen couldn’t help but blush. He clearly remembered how, more than a year ago, Li Xin had grabbed his hand and touched certain high, soft places.

“Let’s go, let’s go eat.” Li Xin pulled Long Haochen and ran out after saying goodbye to Nalan Shu.

After leaving the Haoyue Branch Temple, Li Xin pulled Long Haochen into the largest restaurant nearby.

As soon as they entered, a waiter immediately greeted them, “Miss Xin’er, you’ve arrived.”

Li Xin nodded and said, “We’ll have something to eat.”

The waiter looked at Long Haochen, who Li Xin was holding, with some surprise. “Please follow me to the second floor, you two.”

Li Xin shook her head and said, “Forget it, it’s just the two of us, let’s sit in the lobby. Let’s sit by the window over there. Bring the menu, I’m starving.”

As she spoke, she pulled Long Haochen over and sat down.

At this time, the restaurant lobby was already half full. Li Xin immediately ordered after sitting down, but the way she ordered really opened Long Haochen’s eyes.

After taking the menu from the waiter, Li Xin tapped it five or six times. Just as Long Haochen was wondering why the waiter hadn’t recorded anything, Li Xin said, “Um, don’t bring these few, bring everything else.”

That page of the menu had twenty or thirty dishes!

“Sister Xin’er, that’s too much, we won’t be able to finish it,” Long Haochen quickly said, gaining a new understanding of this sister. Her heroic spirit made him feel very comfortable in her presence.

Li Xin’s face darkened, and she said, “How can we not finish it? You’re growing, you need to eat more.”

“Come on, what ‘let other people eat more.’ It’s clear you’re the glutton.” Just as Li Xin finished ordering, a slightly cold voice sounded with a hint of mockery.

Long Haochen turned his head to look and saw two men and one woman also entering the restaurant. They stopped as they passed by them, and the woman was the one who spoke.

The young woman wore a dark blue robe, and the faint elemental fluctuations caused a faint blue halo to ripple on the robe. On her left chest was a three-star mark, surrounded by six golden lines.

A magic robe. Is this a mage? Long Haochen’s understanding of mages was limited to his father’s stories, and this was the first time he had seen one.

Three stars and six golden lines represent the mark of a Level Three profession, Level Six. This was already a true mage. The titles for the first three levels of mages are Magic Servant, Magic Apprentice, and Mage.

“Bang.” Li Xin slammed her hand on the table and stood up abruptly, angrily saying, “Lin Jialu, who are you calling a glutton?”

Lin Jialu snorted, “Whoever eats the most is who I’m talking about.”

Long Haochen, who had been focusing on the magic robe, now noticed the young mage’s appearance.

It could be said that both Lin Jialu and Li Xin were rare beauties, but they had completely different styles. Li Xin was straightforward and heroic, a beauty full of vitality. Lin Jialu, on the other hand, was the delicate beauty of a proper young lady.

Fair skin, medium height, long light blue hair draped behind her, delicate eyebrows, small nose, also blue eyes, and the lines on her face were also softer, easily giving people a feeling of wanting to protect her.

However, she held a magic staff about two feet long in her hand. The staff was made of black wood, and thin branches of the same color protruded from the top, holding a water-blue gemstone the size of a fist. The magical elemental fluctuations on this staff were much stronger than on her magic robe.

“You want to fight again, don’t you?” Li Xin’s eyes were full of anger. She took a step and stood in front of Lin Jialu.

The two young men who entered the restaurant with Lin Jialu quickly stepped forward, protecting Lin Jialu on the left and right, their faces full of nervous expressions. They were all wearing warrior leather armor, obviously Lin Jialu’s guards.

Mages are most afraid of sneak attacks. Compared to their powerful magic, their bodies are much more fragile. Therefore, excellent mages are always accompanied by attendants.

“Ladies, please calm down. You were just punished by the Governor and the Chief last month,” the warrior on the left reminded cautiously.

“Humph.” Li Xin and Lin Jialu snorted almost simultaneously, glaring at each other without giving way.
