Surprise Turns to Shock, Teacher Turns into Dad! Please Recommend, Please Vote, Thank You
Odin Town.
In the most remote corner.
A tiny courtyard, with two thatched cottages.
This was Long Xiaogua's home.
Bai Yue, raising her son alone, had endured who knew how much harassment. She had no choice but to build her home in this out-of-the-way corner.
At this moment, Long Xiaogua hurried back excitedly.
He thought to himself, Teacher gave me two days to finish the mission, but I only needed one. I'll go home and see Mom first, then head back to the mountaintop tomorrow morning and surprise Teacher.
A proud smile appeared on his face.
He happily pushed open the courtyard gate.
"Mom, I'm back..."
But the moment he stepped into the courtyard.
He completely lost it.
His azure eyes instantly went blank.
Even his normally steady body could not stop trembling.
At that moment, he could not control his emotions at all.
His mother, Bai Yue, was in the courtyard.
But she was sitting on a man's lap.
And that man was his teacher, the person second only to his mother in Long Xiaogua's life.
After just teaching that foul-mouthed adventurer a lesson, he came home only to stumble into this mess.
"You!... You two!!"
With his mind completely blank, Long Xiaogua froze there, barely able to speak.
"Chencheng."
Feeling somewhat socially dead, Bai Yue struggled to sit up from Long Xingyu's arms and explain.
Perhaps suffering from excessive social confidence, Long Xingyu simply wrapped his arms around Bai Yue.
He held her slender waist tightly and intimately.
A faint layer of white light flashed in his hand. Bai Yue seemed unable to move, unable even to speak.
Long Xingyu slowly stood up, holding Bai Yue with one arm.
This secret return had turned straight into a shock.
He had originally planned to get intimate with the child's mother.
Unexpectedly, the foreplay had only just begun.
He had been holding it in all day, waiting for tonight to ease nearly ten years of loneliness.
And yet...
This kid had come back so quickly.
At this moment, Long Xingyu, whose feelings were beyond words, merely stared coldly at Long Xiaogua.
Long Xiaogua's good mood vanished without a trace as pain, resentment, and other negative emotions surged wildly within him.
"Ah!"
He let out an almost hysterical roar.
His eyes turned completely bloodshot.
With a ringing clang, he drew his pair of Fine Iron Swords.
Long Xiaogua shouted and launched a Charge at Long Xingyu.
This time, there was no technique to speak of.
He swung both swords at once, slashing at Long Xingyu with all his strength.
Long Xingyu flicked his wrist, and a Bamboo Sword appeared in his right hand.
The Bamboo Sword swept sideways.
Bang—
Long Xiaogua felt as though he had crashed into a mountain.
His entire body flew backward and fell into the courtyard.
Long Xiaogua rolled across the ground and immediately climbed back up.
"Why? Why are you bullying my mother?"
Without hesitation, he launched another Charge.
Long Xingyu's Bamboo Sword struck in rapid succession, sweeping across both of Long Xiaogua's hands.
"Because I am your father."
The iron swords fell to the ground, and Long Xiaogua staggered backward before landing hard on his butt.
Those simple words instantly froze the grief and indignation on his face.
He remained seated on the ground, staring straight at Long Xingyu.
"Y-you... what did you say?"
The blankness in Long Xiaogua's eyes gradually turned into disbelief.
Long Xingyu sighed softly and stepped forward.
He pulled Long Xiaogua into his embrace and held him tightly.
"I said, I'm your dad. I'm the father you've never met."
As he spoke, a ray of white light shot from his hand, releasing Bai Yue from her restraints.
Bai Yue quickly rushed over and pulled Long Xiaogua from Long Xingyu's arms into her own.
She glared furiously at her husband.
"Are you crazy? You nearly scared me to death just now!"
Long Xingyu could only give a bitter smile.
What followed.
Was a melodramatic family drama so absurdly melodramatic that it was melodrama at its finest.
Fortunately, the ending was heartwarming.
Tor Mountain.
An utterly ordinary little wooden cabin.
Yang Haoyu stood outside the door.
Waiting for Long Fan's return.
Long Fan took out the yellow Awakening Stone and handed it to Yang Haoyu.
"Teacher, I'm back. This is the Awakening Stone."
Yang Haoyu smiled and nodded, accepting the Awakening Stone.
"Now, I will perform the most solemn ritual of us knights for you—Sacred Awakening!"
Long Fan nodded solemnly.
Yang Haoyu continued explaining.
"From a certain perspective, we knights cultivate both magic and martial arts.
And we only have one magical attribute: the sacred Light Attribute."
Long Fan listened carefully.
As for a knight's attribute, light was light.
Other professions could choose other attributes anyway.
As Yang Haoyu held up the Awakening Stone, he said,
"And this Awakening Stone I had you bring back can change anyone's innate attribute to light.
The stronger one's innate spiritual power and the more one's physique leans toward light, the better the result of the awakening. Do you understand?"
Long Fan nodded without hesitation.
There was no need to worry about things like spiritual power or physique. He could just use Deep Blue.
Yang Haoyu led Long Fan to an open area atop the mountain.
"All right, I will begin your awakening now."
As he spoke, he casually waved his large hand.
A layer of brilliant golden light spread outward from his body.
In the blink of an eye, it formed a golden barrier fifty feet high and a hundred feet in diameter, enveloping master and disciple within.
Standing within the Light Sanctuary that blocked the outside world's view, Long Fan found it increasingly profound and mysterious.
Compared to the sacred aura released when he used the third-tier Ascension Array, the golden barrier his teacher had casually summoned was like a firefly compared to Hao Yue—utterly insignificant.
Yang Haoyu took a deep breath and slowly raised the Awakening Stone in his right hand.
"Xiao Fan, close your eyes and focus inward.
No matter what you feel next, you must remain calm.
Quietly sense the changes within yourself, especially your understanding of light. Do you understand?"
Hearing this, Long Fan immediately closed his eyes.
"Yes, Teacher!"
Yang Haoyu nodded, his expression solemn.
He clenched one hand, and dazzling golden light lit up in his palm.
Its brilliant radiance almost instantly surpassed the sunlight in the sky.
However, all of that light was blocked within the barrier by the Light Sanctuary.
At that moment, Long Fan suddenly felt the air around him grow hot.
At the same time, a stream of heat rose within his body.
The strange sensation was as if a sun had suddenly appeared inside his organs.
In an instant, he discovered that countless pathways seemed to have appeared throughout his body.
And every one of those pathways was an extension of the sunlight within him.
With his eyes closed, he saw the bright golden light inside his body.
Then, in that instant, intense pain erupted.
Puff!
A layer of gray gas burst out from Long Fan's pores.
It vanished directly within the golden radiance.
The purification effect that came with Sacred Awakening had clearly removed the impurities from his body.
