"I will call you father when you have made amends, but not now!"
Long Xingyu was numb, gasping for breath, all he could hear were Long Haoyu's replies.
Do I not have a better way to cultivate?
Am I just trying to repair my father-son relationship this way?
How could I, Long Xingyu, a dignified Divine Seal Knight, be looked down upon by a mere 9-year-old child?
Long Haochen's eyes widened in disbelief that his elder brother would dare to directly contradict their father.
Long Haoyu looked at Long Xingyu with a glaring expression.
Looking at his cheap father, he felt a little strange.
"Why do I suddenly feel like I'm playing the role of a rebellious son?"
"However, given his distrust of his mother and his ulterior motives towards me and Haochen, let him be a rebellious son!"
Long Haoyu felt that he was utterly wicked, knowing the whole truth but not telling Long Xingyu.
Of course, he knew very well that even if he was willing to tell, Long Xingyu would have to be willing to believe him.
Given his cheap father's self-righteous nature, he felt it didn't make much sense until the right time.
Long Xingyu controlled his agitated emotions, took a deep breath and said, "Since you are very clear about this history, then I won't blame you for sleeping just now."
"A truly powerful knight needs both knowledge and strength; learning is definitely essential."
"Today's learning session is temporarily over. After lunch, I will let you begin today's real training!"
At this point, Long Xingyu paused, straightened his posture considerably, and put his hands behind his back, giving him the air of a reclusive master.
"Haoyu, I know you want to start training as soon as possible."
"But becoming a truly powerful knight is far more difficult than you imagine!"
"Don't blame your father for being too strict with you later!!"
The words fall.
Long Xingyu prepared all the dishes as if by magic.
After heating it up, I called the two brothers to start eating and watched them eat.
His pride as a legendary knight of the Divine Seal slowly revived at this moment; he refused to believe that he couldn't conquer a mere brat.
Chapter 16 Long Xingyu's Little Calculations
The meal was very plentiful, as Long Xingyu had prepared a very proper nutritional balance for Long Haoyu and Long Haochen to begin their actual cultivation.
After making sure the two brothers had eaten and drunk their fill, Long Xingyu led them to a giant rock.
With a wave of his hand, the boulder pressing down on the ant nest was bounced away, and many ants tried to rush out, but were firmly suppressed by Long Xingyu's power.
"This is a natural ant nest. Although they are not magical beasts, they like to travel in groups."
"Your training will begin here. You must use every ounce of your strength to ensure that you are not attacked by the owl ants and end up covered in bites."
At this point, Long Xingyu gave Long Haoyu a meaningful look and continued:
“But training is always training, and I will always be your father.”
"If you can't hold on, you can call me!"
Long Haoyu has decided to play the role of the rebellious son.
Before Long Xingyu could finish speaking, he leaped into the anthill.
Despite being killed so many times in the Shadow Space, he remained very confident in his movement techniques and the use of power.
Long Xingyu did not get the answer he expected, and waved his hand to press the boulder back onto the anthill.
Then, he led Long Haochen to the location of the second boulder.
"Haochen, this place and the anthill we just visited share the same origin, but I've dug another place that's connected to it."
"Haoyu is in that anthill, you will train here, understand?"
As he spoke, Long Xingyu took out a very resilient bamboo sword and gave it to Long Haochen.
Long Haochen's eyes were firm, and he nodded seriously, saying, "Don't worry, Dad, I will definitely work hard to catch up with my brother."
The gentle force dragged Long Haochen into the ant nest. With the intruder, all the ants in the nest swarmed in as if they had gone mad.
Long Xingyu sealed the second ant nest with a huge rock, moved a chair out of the wooden house and sat down, his brows furrowed tightly.
Most of the attention was focused on the boulder at the anthill where Long Haoyu was located.
"In terms of talent, Haoyu is even better than Haochen. He has reached the level of a third-level squire knight in just one year of study."
"Now that he has undergone the cleansing and marrow-refining process, he has reached the level of a seventh-level squire knight. Once he grows up, he will surely become a major threat to the demon race."
"Sigh, if it weren't for that incident back then, which forced Haoyu and Haochen to grow up, perhaps..."
Long Xingyu's expression was very complicated, but he was not stingy in acknowledging Long Haoyu's talent.
But whenever he thinks about that knot in his heart, his face is once again covered with pain.
"Oh well, oh well, I hope things will go smoothly from now on!"
"Haoyu is a bit of a unique kid, but we can focus more on Haochen and let Haochen influence his opinion of me."
As Long Xingyu spoke, his eyes grew increasingly resolute as he calculated the time it would take for Long Haochen to descend into the anthill.
After another fifteen minutes, they finally lifted the boulder and pulled Long Haochen out of the anthill.
Long Haochen's body was swollen all over, his clothes were tattered, and there were many wounds from the bites of owl ants.
At this moment, Long Haochen's physical strength was exhausted to the limit. After being pulled out by Long Xingyu, his body was so weak that he almost fell to the ground. He barely managed to stand up by leaning on the bamboo sword.
Not only was he physically exhausted to the limit, but his consciousness also became very blurred. However, he was still clinging to life and did not completely faint.
"Dad, how is my brother?"
Long Haochen spoke weakly, forcing himself to look at the anthill that Long Haoyu had gone down to. When he saw that the boulder was still sealed, his expression immediately changed.
Long Xingyu said maturely, "It's alright. Haoyu's spiritual power is stronger than yours, so he can hold on a little longer."
"Dad won't harm you. I'll bring him out when the time is right. Now, Dad will take you to recuperate."
As he spoke, Long Xingyu led Long Haochen to the hot spring medicinal pool that he had prepared beforehand.
With Long Xingyu's assurance, Long Haochen fell into a deep sleep after entering the hot spring medicinal pool.
Her energy and spirit were almost completely exhausted; her persistence just now was because she still cared about Long Haoyu.
He knew what Long Haoyu had endured in the anthill just as he had endured in the anthill.
Now I'm relaxed, my consciousness is completely in a state of chaos.
Long Xingyu smiled slightly, then walked to the boulder where Long Haoyu had been standing, his little scheme already in full swing.
“A father would never harm his child, but now that I’m a father, it’s not a problem for me to let Haoyu suffer a bit.”
“A true father should be there to save his child when he is in the most danger. That’s what Sanshui told me before.”
"It just so happens that Haoyu has such a unique personality, so it's not a bad thing to use this kind of experience to temper him."
……
……
In the anthill.
It was pitch black all around.
Long Haoyu could not see anything around him.
Wu Feng swung his sword rhythmically in his hand.
Every now and then, the blunt object would strike the rock wall, producing a series of sparks.
The number of owl ants was too large, and by this time, it was unknown how many owl ants had died under the bladeless cleaving.
But the remaining owl ants continued to relentlessly attack Long Haoyu, the 'intruder'.
Long Haoyu kept dodging, his vision was not clear, but his physical instincts were still there.
Having 'died' so many times, he could sense a certain degree of danger even without his eyes, and react accordingly.
These reactions are already imprinted in his bodily memory, and can even surpass the reactions of his brain.
Despite dodging another wave of ant attacks, Long Haoyu's body bore many bite marks and his clothes were somewhat tattered, but his breathing remained steady.
Relying on his hearing, smell, and touch, Long Haoyu frowned slightly, roughly judging the direction of the ant swarm's attack.
"The training of physical instincts is almost over, and it's time to hone another aspect of our abilities."
"Although I haven't learned the knight skills that Instructor Shadow used last night, I do have some understanding of their appearance."
"The owl ants here will be a good practice subject."
Long Haoyu silently repeated this to himself, his resilient character preventing him from having the slightest thought of giving up.
He wasn't afraid of death, and had even died so many times; the owl ant's bite was nothing to him.
While dodging the ant swarm's attacks and enduring the bites from some stragglers, he was also simulating the knight skills he had seen in the shadow space.
Memory and body, body and instinct, instinct and memory are interconnected and interdependent.
P.S.: During the new book launch period, I would be extremely grateful if all readers could cast their free recommendation votes!
Chapter 17 My main account is useless, let's create an alt!
The figure moved swiftly through the dark anthill.
Long Haoyu's movements became increasingly agile, his sharp, unsharpened aura constantly slicing through the anthill.
Swarms of owl ants perished beneath the blunt sword, but he too bore numerous bite wounds, a testament to the rudiments of these knightly skills.
A full half hour passed, and Long Haoyu, without a blade, was propped up on the ground, his forehead covered in fine beads of sweat.
After prolonged physical exhaustion, his body is now nearing its limit.
