Ye Hua pushed forward with his right hand, sending Long Haochen staggering back three or four steps.

“Very well, you won. My mistake was being deceived by your appearance and underestimating you. It was a fatal error. Thank you for giving me this lesson.” As he spoke, Ye Hua clenched his right fist and placed it on his left chest, giving Long Haochen a knightly salute.

Long Haochen quickly returned the salute. “Thank you for your guidance, Instructor.”

The knights who had been running stopped completely, staring in disbelief. Although they hadn’t figured out how Ye Hua lost, the fact itself was shocking. Especially the fact that Ye Xiu Luo actually gave a student a knightly salute. It was as unbelievable as a cat kissing a mouse.

“What are you all doing? Do you think I’m just farting? Run! Fifty more laps!” In an instant, the Ye Xiu Luo in their minds had returned to his Shura persona. His roar erupted, frightening the knights into running again.

“You, come with me.” After roaring, Ye Xiu Luo coldly said to Long Haochen again and turned to leave.

Long Haochen quickly followed, entering the Knight’s Hall behind Ye Hua.

A large figure seemed to have been waiting there. Seeing them approach, he smiled and said, “How was it? Didn’t I tell you?”

“Hall Master Nalan,” Long Haochen said in surprise.

The owner of that large figure was indeed Nalan Shu. He looked like an old fox, smiling as he looked at Long Haochen and Ye Xiu Luo.

“Fatso,” Ye Xiu Luo snorted coldly.

Nalan Shu laughed and said, “Zombie face, this time our Brightmoon Branch Hall is going to shine. Oh, I forgot to tell you how old he is this year. Haochen, are you twelve years old yet?”

Long Haochen shook his head. “I’ll be twelve in four months.”

“What?” Ye Hua, who was always cold, finally showed a change in expression upon hearing this. Shock and fanaticism were revealed almost simultaneously.

“Not even twelve years old? And he can use Bright Radiance Cut?” How could he not recognize the skill Long Haochen used with the shield earlier?

Nalan Shu proudly said, “Didn’t I tell you? Our Brightmoon Branch Hall has a peerless genius. Do you understand ‘peerless’? Idiot.”

Ye Hua didn’t seem to care about Nalan Shu’s mockery. The coldness on his face completely turned into seriousness as he stared at Long Haochen and said, “Since you can use Bright Radiance Cut and Ascension Array, you must have been learning Retribution Knight skills all along. Why not continue cultivating as a Retribution Knight? Why do you want to be a Guardian Knight?”

Long Haochen replied without hesitation, “I want to be able to protect everything I want to protect. My father told me that one person’s strength is limited. When facing the demons and protecting our home, the role of a Guardian Knight is far greater than that of a Retribution Knight.”

Ye Hua’s eyes lit up slightly, and he slowly nodded. “Very well. From today onwards, you will follow me to learn Guardian Knight skills exclusively. Without my permission, you are not allowed to fight with other knights. Do you understand?”

Long Haochen was slightly stunned. “But, will not having enough actual combat affect my cultivation?”

Ye Hua snorted coldly. “Say that again when you can defeat me. Go to the training ground and wait for me.”

“Yes,” Long Haochen agreed with some doubts. He bowed to Nalan Shu again and turned to leave.

Watching his departing figure, Ye Hua’s gaze gradually became fiery. “Fatso, where did you find such a treasure?”

Nalan Shu proudly said, “Zombie face, are you convinced? I told you yesterday, but you didn’t believe me. Do you believe me now? With this little guy joining us, our Brightmoon Branch Hall will shine brightly in the near future. Maybe we can even be promoted to the main hall. Let those who ostracize you see how powerful the disciple you taught is.”

Ye Hua completely ignored Nalan Shu’s boasting and thought for a moment. “Do you know what this little guy’s innate inner spiritual power is?”

Nalan Shu shook his head and said, “I don’t know. I asked him, but he wouldn’t say. However, I tested his current total spiritual power. It’s as high as two hundred and sixty-eight. I think this little guy’s innate inner spiritual power won’t be lower than forty, maybe even higher. Why are you asking this? Aren’t you always the most disdainful of those strong people with high innate inner spiritual power?”

The coldness on Ye Hua’s face suddenly became strange. “If talent could really replace everything, I wouldn’t be limited to just being an Earth Knight. If my innate inner spiritual power was over fifty, there would definitely be my figure on the Divine Throne. Damn heavens, you gave me wisdom and comprehension, but you deprived me of talent.”

Nalan Shu put his fat hand around his shoulder and said, “Okay, don’t blame the heavens anymore. Isn’t Haochen’s arrival giving you a chance to show your talent? Even if you can’t sit in that position, isn’t it the same if your disciple can do it in the future?”

Ye Hua took a deep breath, and the flush on his cold face caused by his excitement gradually faded away. “Fatso, thank you.”

Nalan Shu laughed and said, “Are you still saying this to me? If it wasn’t for you back then, my three hundred pounds of fat would have been left on the battlefield.”

Ye Hua said in a deep voice, “I need you to do a few things for me. First, from today onwards, unless it is for a knight-level assessment, I want to use the Holy Temple training ground alone. Second, block the news, especially the news about this child’s age. Especially, we can’t let other main halls and branch halls know. I want to make this child a dark horse in the demon hunt squad selection competition two and a half years later.”

“Okay, no problem. But, zombie face, don’t be too eager to achieve success. No matter what, you can’t hurt this child. Trying to help seedlings grow faster only has the opposite effect.”

Ye Hua said lightly, “This child is stronger than you think. The reason I see hope in him is not because of his age and talent, but because of his persistence. Of the Ten Knight Principles, he has at least understood valor and perseverance. Moreover, he is a child who refuses to admit defeat, and he has extraordinary observation skills and whimsical imagination. Two and a half years is a bit short, but I believe he can still shock the entire temple.”

Nalan Shu nodded slightly. “I’ll say it again, don’t be too eager to achieve success. I can’t tell you about this child’s origins, but perhaps in the near future, he can become the hope of our humans.”

Ye Hua laughed. His cold face was more difficult to look at when he laughed than when he cried, but Nalan Shu was sure he was laughing. At least ten years’ worth of smiles surfaced on his face.

As he laughed, Ye Hua walked out, his voice drifting into Nalan Shu’s ears, “I cherish this child more than you do. He will be the continuation of my dream.”

Long Haochen didn’t know that he had just escaped his father’s hellish training ground, only to enter the clutches of a Shura who was a bit of a fanatic.

From that day on, Ye Hua, the head instructor of the Knight Temple Brightmoon Branch Hall, nicknamed the Shura, suddenly ended his teaching at the Knight’s Hall, and Nalan Shu personally took over as head instructor. The fleeting young knight also disappeared.
