Reunion with Long Haochen (I)

Reunion with Long Haochen (I)

Inside the Spiritual Power Testing Hall.

The One-Armed Old Man had not been there long with Lin Feng.

Nalan Shu soon burst into the hall with Li Xin and Long Haochen.

Li Xin leaned close to Long Haochen, who stood beside her, and whispered,

"Hao Chen, did you see that old man up ahead? He said that person beside him, who's about the same age as you, has reached 1,500 spiritual power."

"With your talent, you only have 878 spiritual power right now. How could anyone possibly have 1,500 spiritual power at twelve years old...?"

Li Xin rambled on for quite a while, yet Long Haochen never answered.

Curious, she turned to look at him.

Only to see that Long Haochen, who had merely come with her to watch the excitement, had frozen upon seeing the back of the person testing his spiritual power.

Li Xin patted Long Haochen on the shoulder. "Hao Chen, what's wrong?"

Only then did Long Haochen, who had heard nothing under Li Xin's patting, snap out of his memories.

The instant he saw that figure's back, Long Haochen recalled Lin Feng, whom he had met at Knight Sacred Mountain three years ago. Although the person before him was clearly much taller and broader than before.

Looking at Li Xin, who had suddenly leaned close, Long Haochen asked, "Sister Li Xin, who is that?"

"I thought you knew Lin Feng. You kept staring at him."

Seeing Long Haochen ask, Li Xin voiced the doubt in her heart.

But the moment Long Haochen heard the name Lin Feng, his eyes immediately lit up.

It really was him!

Long Haochen called out to Lin Feng ahead of him, "Brother Lin~"

Long Haochen's shout broke the slightly tense atmosphere.

Hearing someone call him, Lin Feng turned around and saw Long Haochen jogging toward him.

Paimon also spotted Long Haochen and said in surprise, "Ehe! Isn't that the kid who kept staring at me at Knight Sacred Mountain? I can't believe he's grown so much already."

"Hao Chen," Lin Feng greeted him.

Lin Feng was not surprised by Long Haochen's sudden appearance. After all, he had long known that Long Haochen was at Haoyue Branch Hall.

Seeing that Lin Feng recognized him, Long Haochen was still rather happy.

"Brother Lin, why did you come to Haoyue Branch Hall? Weren't you previously at..." Before Long Haochen could finish, Paimon stuffed a long loaf of bread, seemingly pulled from nowhere, into his mouth.

Seeing that Long Haochen was about to expose Lin Feng's identity, Paimon directly plugged his mouth with bread.

After all, when they had set out, Ying Suifeng had told them not to reveal that Lin Feng had multiple professions if possible.

Paimon scratched her head as she looked at Long Haochen, who was choking too much to speak. "Well, I specially brought you something to eat. Give it a try..."

However, Long Haochen pulled out the bread. Without thinking much of it, he even took a small bite and commented, "This bread seems a little hard."

After giving his opinion, Long Haochen wanted to continue the previous topic. But as soon as he opened his mouth, another loaf was stuffed over.

"Then... try this one too..." Paimon said with a kindly expression.

After Paimon interrupted him twice in a row, Long Haochen looked at her, then noticed Lin Feng's clothing and immediately understood.

Their identities might need to be kept secret.

Long Haochen did not press the matter any further. After all, he had quite a few secrets himself.

Seeing Paimon somehow pull out yet another loaf of bread, Long Haochen hurriedly said, "Enough, enough..."

Just as Long Haochen was wondering how to speak, the One-Armed Old Man happened to recognize him as well.

"You're the knight who came to Knight Sacred Mountain with Lin Feng last time, aren't you?"

Following the voice, Long Haochen finally realized that the old man standing nearby was the One-Armed Old Man from Knight Sacred Mountain.

He hurriedly greeted him. "Greetings, Senior."

"Mm. You came at the right time. Test your spiritual power with Lin Feng. Let me see how much the two of you have improved in the three years since we last met."

The One-Armed Old Man still remembered Long Haochen somewhat, especially that pet of his, which could undergo a second evolution.

Come to think of it, the pets of Lin Feng and Long Haochen were truly unusual. One could undergo a second evolution, while the other could speak and possessed considerable intelligence.

But now was not the time to think about that. He still wanted to know how much spiritual power Lin Feng had.

"Good, Senior," Long Haochen answered.

Seeing that they seemed to have known one another for a long time, Li Xin and Nalan Shu were both somewhat surprised.

However, upon hearing that the two had gone to Knight Sacred Mountain together, they understood.

"Hao Chen, you go first." Since Long Haochen had agreed, Lin Feng also wanted to see just how far the chosen son of this world had grown.

Long Haochen nodded, then drew his Knight Sword and walked before the stone pillar used to test spiritual power.

With a sharp shout, Long Haochen swung his Knight Sword with all his strength.

Bang!

The sphere of light atop the stone pillar displayed Long Haochen's spiritual power.

931

"Fourth Rank Fourth Level. Not bad." The old man was fairly satisfied with Long Haochen's spiritual power, though it was still within his expectations.

However, Li Xin and Nalan Shu were both extremely shocked. Long Haochen had only possessed 878 spiritual power during his last test. In half a month, it had increased by nearly fifty points.

"As expected of little brother Hao Chen. At this rate, he might surpass me in another month." Li Xin said proudly.

Seeing Long Haochen's spiritual power, Lin Feng could not help but sigh inwardly. As expected of the protagonist. Even without the body tempering of the Thousand Strike Spiritual Furnace, his spiritual power has already reached 931.

In the original story, Long Haochen had only broken through 1,000 spiritual power when he took the Demon Hunt Squad assessment. There was still more than a year before the assessment.

Presumably, it would not be long before his spiritual power reached one thousand.

"Lin Feng, it's your turn." The One-Armed Old Man said, his eyes full of anticipation.

Lin Feng said nothing more. He directly drew his Unsharpened Sword and brought it down heavily upon the spiritual power stone pillar.

Everyone present watched intently as the number continued to rise...

500...

900...

1100...

...1598

Looking at the number that had stopped at 1,598.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

Li Xin pinched the back of her hand. The pain told her that all of this was real.

This person's spiritual power had truly reached 1,500, and it was 1,598 at that. He was only 3 points of spiritual power away from Fourth Rank Ninth Level.

Even the One-Armed Old Man, despite having some understanding of Lin Feng's spiritual power, had eyes filled with delight at this moment.

Lin Feng had given him far too great a surprise. A twelve-year-old at Fourth Rank Eighth Level—what kind of genius was that?

Even though Long Haochen was already a genius among geniuses, he appeared so dim beside Lin Feng at this moment.

And the most excited person was undoubtedly Nalan Shu. Before anyone could recover from their shock, he dragged his burly body straight toward Lin Feng.

"Little brother, I already know about your registration at Haoyue Branch Hall. I'll handle it for you right now!"

With that, Nalan Shu took out a device, lifted Lin Feng's hand, and pressed it onto it.

A flash of spiritual light swept over him, and Lin Feng's bone age appeared on it. Seeing the number 12, Nalan Shu seemed to already see himself receiving promotions and titles.
