Moreover, he was not like the kind of players who needed to log in every day to grind experience, skill proficiency, and skill points; he had moved straight into the game and settled down.
Long Xingyu also seemed to see through what Yue Shen was thinking.
After pondering for a moment, he took a black ring from his waist and handed it to Yue Shen.
"This is the Inheritance Ring. It records the vast majority of secret techniques of the Knight Temple, including those for both punishment and protection, and my self-created skills are inside it as well."
Long Xingyu said calmly, "Whether to choose dual cultivation is your own choice, but I hope you do not neglect one for the other."
Yue Shen was somewhat surprised. He had originally thought that Long Xingyu would strongly oppose him practicing both punishment and protection.
Although he did not directly agree to his choice of dual cultivation, giving him the Inheritance Ring was practically equivalent to tacit approval, wasn't it?
"Thank you, Teacher." Yue Shen said with a joyful expression, "I will definitely cultivate diligently and not live up to your expectations."
"I told you not to call me teacher." Long Xingyu shook his head slightly. "That will be all for today. Wait for me here tomorrow at the same time."
"Is it ending so quickly today?" Yue Shen was a bit surprised.
After all, it was only just afternoon, and Long Xingyu was already saying he had to leave.
Long Xingyu was silent for a moment and did not answer Yue Shen's question.
"Use the remaining time today to properly digest the essentials of the Nine Dragon Steps I taught today. If there is anything you don't understand, ask me tomorrow."
After all, he had his own matters to attend to, and the time he could spare each day to guide Yue Shen was not much.
This led to the situation where Yue Shen's daily training consisted of Long Xingyu explaining the skills he had created himself. Afterward, Yue Shen unlocked the skills by allocating skill points, and then spent all the remaining time of the day cultivating his internal spiritual power.
When training came around the next morning, Yue Shen would throw out a few questions in a plausible manner to have Long Xingyu clear up his confusion. Only when Long Xingyu felt there were no problems would he proceed to let Yue Shen start learning the next skill.
Of course, during the training, Long Xingyu would also occasionally engage in actual combat training with Yue Shen to test the results of his learning.
Another day of training came to an end, and Long Xingyu checked Yue Shen's learning results as usual.
"After today, I won't come anymore."
Long Xingyu said calmly, "You have already learned everything you should from me. Afterward, I will propose to the Temple to select another instructor for you, who will be responsible for guiding you in cultivating other knight skills."
"Mn." Yue Shen nodded and did not say anything.
Seeing this, Long Xingyu was somewhat stunned and couldn't help asking, "Don't you have anything you want to say to me?"
Yue Shen shook his head slightly. "Because I believe you will definitely return in triumph, there is no need to say anything."
Through getting along over these past few days, Long Xingyu had also revealed his identity as a Divine Seal Knight to him, and had even mentioned that his trip out this time was to fulfill a duel with the Seventh Demon God Pillar Ananda of the demon race.
After hearing Yue Shen's words, Long Xingyu's tightly locked brows instead relaxed quite a bit.
"Then this must be my fault."
Long Xingyu suddenly couldn't help laughing. "Only when you say it like that do I realize that everything I've been doing just now sounds like I'm arranging my own funeral."
"Cultivate well. The next time we meet, I hope to see a seventh-tier Temple Knight possessing Mithril Base Battle Armor." Long Xingyu patted Yue Shen's shoulder with deep emotion. "However, before leaving, I still have something to give you."
Hearing this, Yue Shen's breathing instantly grew a bit heavier.
Could it be a spirit furnace?
Seeing Yue Shen with this look, Long Xingyu couldn't help smiling either. After all, Yue Shen was just a child of similar age to his own son.
Long Xingyu did not keep him in suspense and directly took two similarly styled knight longswords out of his storage ring, then handed them over to Yue Shen.
Seeing this, Yue Shen was momentarily startled,
but he still took the two longswords from Long Xingyu's hands. Afterwards, he used the identification tool that had not been put to use for a long time to scan the two knight longswords.

"This is?" Yue Shen asked with some doubt, "It seems a bit against the rules for you to give me such valuable equipment, doesn't it?"
"Of course not, because these two longswords originally belonged to you."
Long Xingyu said softly, "Because they are your parents' relics. It's just that they were severely damaged at the time, and now that they have been repaired, naturally they must be handed over to you."
After hearing Long Xingyu's words, Yue Shen, standing in place, couldn't help feeling somewhat dazed.
He even felt that the pair of spirit-demon grade knight twin swords he was holding at the moment felt exceptionally scorching to the touch, especially when his fingers brushed against the exquisitely styled patterns on their blades, and this feeling was particularly intense.
Yue Shen remained silent for a long time without speaking, his mood at this moment being exceptionally complicated.
Long Xingyu sighed softly, then stepped forward, stroked Yue Shen's head, and said, "Actually, I originally planned to prepare a spirit furnace for you, but I had to let it go because I really don't have one suitable for you here.
However, if you can win a top-three finish in the finals of the Demon Hunt Squad Selection Tournament two years from now, then your reward will include a spirit furnace."
Ever since Long Xingyu left, Yue Shen's days had also become leisurely.
After all, he had already gotten his hands on the self-created skills he needed to learn from Long Xingyu's side, and he was very satisfied with his current cultivation progress. Aside from spending a few hours every day hanging up to meditate and cultivate internal spiritual power, he basically did not cultivate.
After all, sitting in meditation to cultivate internal spiritual power for long periods was not only tedious and boring, but the cultivation efficiency would also drop significantly as a result. Moreover, before Long Xingyu's departure, Yue Shen had farmed a considerable amount of skill points from him, which was completely enough for him to max out all the skills he currently mastered while still leaving enough for him to fool around with for a while.
Looking at the knight skills listed on the skill panel that had been filled up by him with skill points, Yue Shen's face revealed an expression of hard work finally paying off.

Before the arrival of the next instructor, Yue Shen's daily routine was basically spent in meditation and the cultivation of internal spiritual power.
Of course, he would also occasionally sneak out to wander around and tour this Holy City, but he discovered that the Knight Temple seemed to have arranged personnel to keep an eye on him.
Although his personal freedom was not restricted, places like the Temple Alliance Grand Auction House, the Demon Hunt Tower, and locations where other Temple members entered and exited in large numbers were not permitted for Yue Shen to visit.
This Knight Temple really had hidden Yue Shen away as a secret weapon; otherwise, they wouldn't have tucked him away in the snow and prevented him from appearing within the sight of other temples.
However, more than these things, what Yue Shen cared about was that he seemed to have discovered a few people suspected to be players here in the Holy City.
However, out of concern about exposing his identity as a transmigrator, Yue Shen did not take the initiative to contact them.
On the other hand, it was because those players belonged to other temples, and the people on the Knight Temple's side did not allow him to contact them either.
As for whether he might have guessed wrong, Yue Shen never even considered the existence of such a possibility.
After all, which normal NPCs in a game would wear bizarre clothing while sporting non-mainstream hairstyles of all different colors, and pop out with a few internet slang terms every now and then?
Yue Shen had been comfortable these past few days, but while some were happy, others were worried, especially the veteran model worker of the Knight Temple, Holy Knight Commander Han Qian.
