Quick, Let Big Sis Study You

This...

The heavy sword definitely won't break, right?

Li Xin and Nalan Shu were both somewhat stunned as they watched Long Haoyu thrust No Edge toward the Black Stone Pillar.

At first glance, it was truly an attack so ordinary it could not have been more ordinary.

As someone who had already learned the Level 3 Knight Skill, Lightning Stab, Li Xin felt that Long Haoyu's thrust did not seem particularly powerful.

And the Wufeng Heavy Sword had such a peculiar design, its blade covered in densely packed notches. They truly worried that the heavy sword would snap.

Long Haoyu's expression remained calm. Just as No Edge was about to reach the Black Stone Pillar, the sword blade, which had been moving as slowly as a crawling turtle, suddenly accelerated.

The sword speed, visible to everyone just a second ago, instantly blurred.

Bang!!

A dull impact suddenly rang out.

No Edge's tip stabbed firmly into the Black Stone Pillar.

Long Haoyu did not withdraw the blade and maintained the pose with its tip embedded in the Black Stone Pillar.

A gentle blue glow lit up again, and the Black Stone Pillar displayed the precise result of Long Haoyu's test.

One hundred and fifty-two!

The Third Floor Test Hall fell utterly silent.

Li Xin stood there blankly, her beautiful eyes widened as she stared at the value on the Black Stone Pillar.

Nalan Shu was the same. Looking at the result of 152 points, he swallowed hard.

"This... this is monstrous!"

Nalan Shu simply could not believe it. Even though he possessed the strength of a Fifth Order Profession and was a genuine Earth Knight, he could not believe his own eyes.

At only ten years old, his Spirit Energy Test had reached an astonishing 152 points. It could no longer be described as merely outrageous.

A ten-year-old Level 5 Quasi-Knight—who would believe that if they heard it?

"Big Brother, you're really so strong!"

When Long Haochen saw the final result, the number 152, he could not help pumping his fist. His eyes were filled with admiration.

Long Haoyu withdrew No Edge and slung it over his back again, a faint smile on his lips. "Has your curiosity been satisfied now?"

"Mhm, mhm. I'm only a Second Order Quasi-Knight now, while you're already a Fifth Order Quasi-Knight, Big Brother. I'm three orders behind you, but I'll work hard to catch up to you!"

Long Haochen nodded, his expression resolute. "I'll always take you as my goal to chase, Big Brother, until I can help you!"

"Then I'll wait for you."

Long Haoyu spoke gently.

The brothers chatted as though they were simply making small talk, yet every word stung Li Xin and Nalan Shu.

Both of them looked at Long Haochen with extremely strange expressions. Was that even something a person should say?

He was ten! Only ten!

Only a Second Order Quasi-Knight? Did he not know there was someone standing here who had only barely passed the Quasi-Knight Assessment at thirteen?

"Xin'er, you see that now, don't you? You're not the only genius in this world!" Nalan Shu said earnestly.

Li Xin nodded, deeply wounded. As she looked at the number 152 still displayed on the Black Stone Pillar, her entire body suddenly shivered.

The next second, she rushed toward Long Haoyu and Long Haochen. A fragrant breeze washed over them, startling Long Haochen.

"Sister Xin'er, you..." Thinking of how Xin'er had held his hand earlier, Long Haochen asked somewhat awkwardly.

Li Xin crouched down and rubbed Long Haochen's head. "Brother Haochen, can Big Sis borrow your brother for a moment? Okay?"

Long Haochen let out an ah. Before he could react, Li Xin was already staring at Long Haoyu with blazing eyes.

"Brother Haoyu, hurry and let Big Sis study you!"

"You're already a Fifth Order Quasi-Knight at only ten years old. Just how did you cultivate?"

Li Xin pulled Long Haoyu into her arms in one swift motion. Long Haoyu was still wondering what Li Xin had suddenly gone crazy for.

The next moment, he could not speak. His entire body was smothered in her leather armor, and then he felt Li Xin's hand continuously running over his spine.

After that, he could finally breathe fresh air again, but Li Xin grabbed his hand and spread open his palm, her fingers clearly tracing across it.

"Just how did he cultivate? How did he reach the strength of a Level 5 Quasi-Knight at only ten? And there aren't even that many calluses on his palm!" Li Xin muttered to herself.

"Xin'er, what nonsense are you making!"

Nalan Shu walked over with a dark expression. Seeing Li Xin continually examining Long Haoyu, he truly wanted to bring his palm down on her head.

Li Xin came back to her senses and smiled awkwardly before finally releasing Long Haoyu. "Brother Haoyu, sorry about that. I scared you, didn't I?"

Long Haoyu shook his head. He had not expected that, perhaps because of the timing and because the two brothers had come together, Li Xin had not used her original method to probe their genders.

Yet by a strange twist of fate, he had suffered an attack of faceful-of-cleavage.

But how could such an attack possibly shake the iron will he had forged after dying countless times in the Shadow Space?

Big Sis, I can handle it!!

"Haoyu, Haochen, congratulations on both passing the Quasi-Knight Assessment. I'll go get your Quasi-Knight Rank Medals right away."

"Oh, and there's also something Lord Xingyu asked you to bring back!"

After saying that, Nalan Shu turned and left.

Long Haoyu and Long Haochen nodded at the same time and thanked Nalan Shu.

After watching Nalan Shu leave, Long Haochen asked, "Big Brother, are we going to the Adventurer's Guild next?"

"Mhm. He also arranged a mission for us, though more precisely, that mission was prepared for you," Long Haoyu answered.

Li Xin listened to the brothers speak as though they were talking about some heavenly book and asked in confusion, "Brother Haoyu, Brother Haochen, you're going to the Adventurer's Guild too?"

"That place is full of all sorts of people. You're still so young, so going somewhere like that, be careful..."

Li Xin paused mid-sentence, then sprang to her feet. Without waiting for the brothers to answer, she waved and headed toward the other side.

"Brother Haoyu, Brother Haochen, wait for Big Sis. I'll go get something, then I'll accompany you to the Adventurer's Guild!"

"Otherwise, those hoodlums there might bully you two brothers."

Long Haochen was extremely surprised by Li Xin's enthusiasm. Even after she had left, he had not managed to say that there was no need to thank her.

But compared with Li Xin's enthusiasm, he was now more curious about Long Haoyu.

With neither Long Xingyu nor Bai Yue nearby, he finally asked the question that had been buried in his heart for a long time.

"Big Brother, I can tell you don't hate Dad that much, but why have you never called him Dad?"

"If you were willing to call him Dad too, he would definitely be very happy to hear it."

Would Long Xingyu be happy?

Long Haoyu smiled faintly. He did not think so now.

However, facing the question Long Haochen had clearly held in for a long time, he still explained gently, "He still owes Mom, and he has not been responsible enough toward the family."

"For what he owes Mom and his irresponsibility toward the family, I still want to chop him down. As for calling him that, we'll talk after I've chopped him down someday."

Long Haochen: "..."

Big Brother wanted to chop Dad down?

Then when the time comes, who am I supposed to help?
