Child of LightLong Xingyu understood better than anyone what that meant.

From birth, they could wield any weapon with the Light Attribute and were naturally favored by Magic Beasts of the Light Attribute.

To humanity, a Child of Light was an existence capable of turning the current situation around, humanity's hope.

Having even one was already the God of Light's blessing, yet now it was not only Long Haochen who possessed the physique of a Child of Light.

The golden light above Long Haoyu had yet to cease, indicating that his Innate Internal Spiritual Power was even higher than Long Haochen's.

Two Children of Light existing in the same era—this was surely Heaven's blessing upon humanity and the Knight Temple.

Boom!!!

At that moment, the golden light above Long Haoyu's head finally stopped at a fixed height.

No more, no less—exactly at one hundred.

"Big Brother is amazing! One hundred points of Innate Internal Spiritual Power!" Long Haochen said with immense admiration.

Bai Yue also watched the two children complete their awakenings with a smile on her face. Seeing their awakenings, she could feel the shock coursing through Long Xingyu.

Though she did not practice martial arts, how could she not know that her two children were creating a miracle?

"It's over?"

Long Haoyu woke up, still somewhat reluctant for it to end.

The process of Sacred Awakening was not too different from his cultivation of Demon Subduing.

If anything, Sacred Awakening was even slightly inferior to his Demon Subduing.

But the two were, after all, different methods of guidance. While undergoing Sacred Awakening, he had still felt exceedingly comfortable.

Unfortunately, that comfort had been far too brief. He had not even had time to properly enjoy it.

"Big Brother, Dad said we both have the physique of Children of Light!"

"My Innate Internal Spiritual Power is ninety-seven points, while yours reached one hundred points!"

Long Haochen hurried forward, excitedly delivering the good news to Long Haoyu.

At the same time, the admiration in Long Haochen's eyes grew even stronger. "Big Brother, although my Innate Internal Spiritual Power is still three points lower than yours, I'll definitely work even harder in the future!"

"I may not be able to catch up to you now, but I'll definitely catch up someday!!"

Feeling Long Haochen's excitement, Long Haoyu smiled faintly. "Haochen, Bloodline Suppression isn't something to joke about."

"If you could catch up to your big brother that easily, wouldn't that mean I couldn't bully you whenever I wanted in the future?"

"Are you trying to rebel against your big brother?"

Long Haochen: "..."

Faced with Long Haoyu's teasing, embarrassment immediately rose on his face.

Children naturally had competitive spirits.

With Long Haoyu around, Long Haochen had not needed to face as much as he would have otherwise.

With a brother by his side who was always a step ahead, he naturally wanted to prove himself as well.

Still, hearing Long Haoyu state it all so directly made him feel rather embarrassed.

After teasing his little brother, Long Haoyu noticed Long Xingyu standing nearby, dumbfounded and trembling all over.

He could swear that he had not done it on purpose. "So this is what it means to have the physique of a Child of Light?"

Long Xingyu: "..." Again?! Long Haochen just asked once, and now you're asking too. Can't you two kids give me a little peace of mind?!

"Yes, you have both completed Sacred Awakening. Your Innate Internal Spiritual Power is ninety-seven points and one hundred points respectively. I already told you about Innate Internal Spiritual Power before."

"So, you are both born Knights. You must cherish this gift!"

"And you must never forget our faith!"

Long Haoyu did not answer, nor did Long Haochen.

The two brothers quietly listened to Long Xingyu's words. They could both feel the greater cause Long Xingyu had placed within them.

There surely had to be other meanings behind them, but the greater cause was undoubtedly placed first.

In this regard, Long Xingyu was worthy of his position as Temple Master of the Knight Temple and worthy of being a Divine Seal Knight.

Seeing that both brothers had fallen silent, Long Xingyu nodded in satisfaction. Yet when he turned his head, he met Long Haochen's deeply puzzled gaze.

"Haochen, do you have another question?" Long Xingyu asked.

Long Haochen hesitated for a moment before asking curiously, "Dad, I'm a little curious."

"Big Brother and I both have the physique of Children of Light. Does that mean you have the physique of a Child of Light too, Dad?"

???

Do you think the physique of a Child of Light is as common as cabbages by the roadside?!

Didn't you just know that the physique of a Child of Light had never appeared before?!

Long Xingyu was suddenly speechless.

At Long Haochen's question, the heart he had only just managed to calm became unbalanced again.

Child of Light! Child of Light!

If I had been a Child of Light too, then what happened ten years ago...

Long Xingyu's expression shifted wildly. Only after quite some time did he finally regain control. "Haochen, didn't Dad tell you? In the past, our Knight Temple never had anyone with the physique of a Child of Light."

"You and your brother will be the only two possessors of the Child of Light physique in our Knight Temple."

"As for me, my Innate Internal Spiritual Power was only seventy-seven points back then. So now you understand just how extraordinary your talents are, right?"

Long Haochen gave an "oh," only then remembering what he had already known and overlooked.

He looked at Long Xingyu apologetically, then lowered his head to look at his hands. The expression on his face gradually became resolute.

"Don't worry, Dad. Big Brother and I definitely won't let you down!"

"We'll definitely become the greatest Knights!"

Long Haochen spoke firmly, straightening his small body until it stood ramrod straight.

Long Xingyu gave a soft hum. He was not worried about Long Haochen, but his gaze shifted to Long Haoyu with a slightly unusual look.

"Haoyu, Haochen, from now on, the sum of your Internal Spiritual Power and External Spiritual Power means you are true Knights."

"But talent is talent, and physique is physique. Dad still needs to tell you this."

"Continual effort is the foundation of becoming a powerful Knight. Do not become overambitious because of the physique you already possess."

"Diligent cultivation will always be necessary. In the days ahead, Dad will teach you how to fully cultivate your Internal Spiritual Power."

"You two should prepare yourselves. Fully cultivating your Internal Spiritual Power will not be easy!"

Afraid that Long Haoyu's stubborn personality would make him defy him because of his talent, Long Xingyu added these words uneasily.

Strong talent was one thing, but it still needed to be kept in check first. He absolutely could not let this stubborn little brat get carried away.

Otherwise, being a father would become far too difficult.

Long Haoyu said nothing, but Long Haochen reacted first. Thinking about the cultivation of Internal Spiritual Power that was about to begin, his eyes brimmed with passion. He had already learned so much about Internal Spiritual Power that his anticipation had been building for a long time.

Seeing that Long Haoyu remained silent, Long Xingyu continued, "Haoyu, do you have any questions about the cultivation arrangements ahead?"

Long Haoyu still did not answer. He looked at his hands and felt the changes within himself before slowly removing No Edge from his back.

His palm gently stroked across No Edge's unique blade.

After using a method similar to Demon Subduing to activate the Internal Spiritual Power within his body, a faint layer of golden light enveloped No Edge.

The sacred radiance instantly lent No Edge a measure of solemnity. It carried the aura of light.

Looking at the changes in No Edge, Long Haoyu turned to Long Xingyu and said, "Use the awakened Internal Spiritual Power within one's body on weapons, martial techniques, and sacred light magic?"

"That should be how Internal Spiritual Power is cultivated, right?"

"Doesn't seem as difficult as I imagined!"
