Sacred Awakening, Long Haochen's Sincere Critical Hit

It was not too late. When Long Xingyu saw the two brothers return with the Awakening Stones, he did not pause for even a moment before taking them back to the summit of Mount Odin.

This time, Bai Yue had come with them as well, watching the golden gemstones resting in the hands of both Long Haoyu and Long Haochen.

Her beautiful eyes brimmed with deep sorrow, beneath which lay much inner conflict.

"Yu, can't we wait another couple of days?" Bai Yue asked, her expression complicated.

Long Xingyu said in a deep voice, "Yue, I know what you're worried about, but this is a path the two children must take."

After a pause, he continued, "Their identities are destined to make them bear the responsibilities that belong to them!"

Bai Yue let out a heavy sigh. "I know you brought me here today to put my mind at ease."

"But Yu, promise me you'll ensure their safety. You have to promise me!"

Long Xingyu nodded heavily. Looking solemnly at Bai Yue, his broad palm gently rested on her shoulder.

His mouth opened several times. The promise he wanted to make changed into something else as it reached his lips. "Don't worry. They will definitely become outstanding and powerful knights!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Long Xingyu gave Bai Yue a look that said, Trust me, then walked over to the brothers, Long Haoyu and Long Haochen.

"Hao Yu, Haochen, I told you about Sacred Awakening and Innate Internal Spiritual Power long ago."

"Next, I will perform your Sacred Awakening. The process will be somewhat painful, so you must endure it!"

"Remember, all this pain is for our faith!!"

Long Xingyu's voice was low and heavy as he looked gravely at Long Haoyu and Long Haochen.

Beginning Sacred Awakening before the age of twelve violated the rules of the Knight Temple, but as the current Temple Master, he had no intention of caring about such rules.

"Dad, don't worry. We're ready!" Long Haochen replied sincerely.

Long Haoyu did not say much. After giving a quiet hum, he prepared himself for the Sacred Awakening.

Golden light surged from Long Xingyu's body, enveloping the father and his two sons in an instant.

At the same time, the Awakening Stones in Long Haoyu's and Long Haochen's hands flew into Long Xingyu's grasp. After he refined them, they quickly became two clusters of golden liquid.

The instant the golden light covered Long Haoyu and Long Haochen, intense pain swept through both brothers' bodies simultaneously.

A faint layer of gray mist rose above Long Haochen's head, but it quickly vanished within the golden radiance. This was the "purification" process required for Sacred Awakening.

There was no gray mist on Long Haoyu's side. During the Demon Subduing process, his body had already been purified countless times.

Other than some burning heat, he felt no discomfort at all.

Once Long Xingyu saw that the purification had been accepted, he flicked the sacred liquid refined from the two Awakening Stones onto the brothers' bodies.

As the sacred liquid entered their bodies, dense golden light shot skyward in an instant, eventually forming two golden pillars.

Long Xingyu stared unblinkingly at the golden pillars around the two brothers, unconsciously holding his breath.

"After a year of cultivation, these two children's Mental Power has already become extraordinarily powerful. The sacred liquid I refined contains not a trace of impurity."

"I wonder just how high the two brothers' Innate Internal Spiritual Power can reach under these circumstances. If both of them can surpass me, then with the two of them joining forces..."

Long Xingyu muttered to himself. The sharp light in his eyes grew even brighter, and his breathing became heavier.

His eyes, which had been lonely for who knew how long, were now completely filled with hope. All his attention was focused on the two brothers.

Long Haochen reacted first. The golden light pillar above him rose at a frenzied pace.

"Ten, twenty, thirty, forty..."

"Haochen's Innate Internal Spiritual Power is actually..."

Long Xingyu could not help clenching his fists. When he saw that the golden pillar above Long Haochen had surpassed seventy, his fingertips involuntarily pierced his palm.

Then he abruptly turned to look at Long Haoyu. The golden pillar above Long Haoyu's head rose with the force of accumulated momentum finally unleashed.

In the blink of an eye, its height had also reached seventy.

"They've both reached seventy! They truly haven't disappointed me!"

Long Xingyu was so excited that he could barely contain himself, his body trembling uncontrollably.

When he saw the golden light above Long Haoyu's and Long Haochen's heads break through eighty, he became completely exhilarated.

By the time the golden light broke through ninety, Long Xingyu was utterly speechless. The look in his eyes as he watched the brothers changed again and again.

In the end, the golden light above Long Haochen's head stopped at ninety-seven.

"Phew..."

"It actually reached ninety-seven points of Innate Internal Spiritual Power. This is the physique of a Child of Light!"

Long Xingyu kept his voice low, but no matter how low it was, he could not conceal the excitement in his words.

"Ah, is the Sacred Awakening over?"

Long Haochen woke up. At the beginning of the Sacred Awakening, he had felt terrible pain, but soon afterward, his entire body had felt utterly clear and unburdened.

Now, he felt incomparably comfortable all over. However, when he noticed that he was completely naked, he could not help blushing.

Seeing this, Long Xingyu took out a set of new clothes for Long Haochen to change into. Only after Long Haochen had finished dressing did he answer in a deep voice, "Haochen, your Sacred Awakening is over. You've given Dad a huge surprise!"

"Is it because of the Child of Light constitution?" Long Haochen was no stranger to such knowledge and asked in a clear voice.

Then he added, "Dad, I remember you saying that the Child of Light constitution had never appeared in our Knight Temple before, right?"

"So I just awakened and became a Child of Light?"

Long Xingyu: "..."

Faced with Long Haochen's earnest questions, for a moment, he completely froze.

Meeting Long Haochen's eyes, Long Xingyu's mouth twitched. "Haochen, just because it never appeared before doesn't mean you can't achieve this constitution!"

"You only need to know that you are now the most gifted knight in our Knight Temple. The Child of Light constitution is enough to let you reach very, very great heights!"

Long Haochen listened obediently.

He still trusted Long Xingyu deeply on this point.

But after believing him, he looked again at Long Haoyu, who was still undergoing Sacred Awakening.

At that moment, the golden light above Long Haoyu's head had also reached ninety-seven, exactly the same as his. It even showed no sign of stopping.

Perhaps the speed had slowed somewhat during the final stretch, but that could not conceal the fact that it was still rising.

"Even though I became a Child of Light, I still seem to be inferior to Brother," Long Haochen muttered softly.

Having regarded Long Haoyu as the goal he would chase for his entire life, all he knew now was that he had completed his Sacred Awakening, while Long Haoyu was still continuing.

Long Xingyu choked slightly. Was this kid actually dissatisfied with being a Child of Light?

But the next moment, his gaze fell on Long Haoyu, who was still in the midst of Sacred Awakening, and his expression became extremely complicated.

This child truly was no ordinary monster!
