Chapter 81: Chapter 40: Divine Maiden Menglu_2
As Grandma continued talking to Long Dangdang, she turned her head irritably to gaze at Ling Bing who was sulking.
Ling Bing grumbled, "Mom, I’m so angry. Dangdang is clearly a mage, but he went to the knights class, running off to be with Yan Yao."
Grandma looked surprised at Long Dangdang, "Why is that?"
Long Dangdang quickly explained, "Grandma, I’m pursuing dual career tracks in magic and knightship. The teacher suggested that after I enter the Spirit Furnace Academy, I should start by studying in the knights class. By the time I graduate in the third year, I will be able to get a mount from the Knights’ Holy Mountain. Afterwards, I can consider transitioning professions."
"That makes sense! However, both magic and knightship are profound professions, can you manage pursuing both?" Upon hearing the explanation, Grandma understood the situation and ceased her intervention with her younger sister.
Long Dangdang glanced at his aunt, he hadn’t expected that she would turn out to be the head mentor of class one mages at Spirit Furnace Academy. It seemed that her relationship with his own mentor wasn’t that good either.
"Alright, let’s eat. Has Menglu returned yet?"
"Grandpa, I’m back. I missed you so much." At that moment, a young girl entered from outside.
She was dressed in a white, long dress, her golden wavy hair cascading down her back, even her large eyes exuded a faint golden glow. When she entered the living room, it seemed to light up a few notches. She appeared to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, around 1.7 meters tall. As soon as she entered the room, she briskly arrived at her grandpa’s side and playfully hugged his arm.
Upon seeing her, Long Dangdang noticed that whether it was Grandpa, Grandma, or even the two uncles and his aunt, smiles had unknowingly surfaced on their faces.
What a strong luminous aura, he secretly thought. He hadn’t sensed any strong spiritual power fluctuations from his elders, but his aunt was a mentor at Spirit Furnace Academy, at the least she should be a 7th Rank magic mentor. As for his uncles and grandparents, he had no idea.
However, the luminous aura released by the young girl before him felt overwhelming, even somewhat uncontrollable.
Grandpa chuckled, "Come, darling, let me introduce a family member to you. This is your sixth aunt’s child, he’s younger than you, he’s your cousin, Long Dangdang. He has also just arrived at the Spirit Furnace Academy, in your same grade in the knights class. From now on, you both will be classmates, so take good care of each other! You have another cousin, he’s Dangdang’s twin brother, he hasn’t come this time, but he is also at your academy."
"Dangdang, this is your cousin Menglu. She is in the Priests Temple at your academy." Grandpa said with a smiling face.
Menglu? Ling Menglu?
Long Dangdang immediately responded with the name he had in mind, "Hello, cousin. My name is Long Dangdang."
When Ling Menglu turned to look at Long Dangdang, she suddenly seemed a bit shy, her gaze softened and she lowered her head slightly, "Hello, Cousin."
Ling Bing seemed to have recovered from her sulking state, leaning over to say, "Dangdang, I heard that your innate inner spiritual power of luminosity is also 90, are you the prodigy of Luminosity?"
Ling Xue had written letters to her family members and told them about the general situation of Long Dangdang and his brother.
"Yes." Long Dangdang nodded.
Ling Bing grinned at him and said, "Then you should get close and cosy with your cousin. She is the first genius of our family, with an innate magnitude of 99 for inner spiritual power of Luminosity. She has been acclaimed as the sole successor to the Priests Temple Master, a candidate for Sacred Legate."
Long Dangdang’s pupils contracted momentarily, oh crap, a divine maiden? His own cousin was actually that divine maiden of class one priests? Divine Maiden Menglu!
Ling Bing saw the change in his eyes and said, "Go for it! You’ve heard about it after just a couple of days?"
Long Dangdang smirked lightly and said, "The goddess’s fame shakes the academy."
Menglu lifted her head to look at him. A shy smile overflowed her face, "Flattering words, cousin. Your innate inner spiritual power of magnitude 90 is also quite extraordinary."
Listening to her soft voice, Long Dangdang had a peculiar feeling in his heart. Why did her way of speaking and tone seem so familiar?
Uncle Ling Shuang said, "Dangdang, the Spirit Furnace Academy isn’t too keen on admitting transfer students. If anyone bullies you, talk to your aunt. If nothing works, you can switch to the mages class."
Long Dangdang replied with a smile, "Don’t worry, Uncle. My classmates have welcomed me. I’m a class leader now," he was there to redeem his father’s reputation. The Ling family never once asked about his father, and neither had any of his uncles ever visited their grandfather. This spoke volumes about the situation.
Hearing these words, the members of Ling family couldn’t help expressing surprise. They were all too familiar with the Spirit Furnace Academy. There, to be a class leader, one must display outstanding strength. This wasn’t something that could be achieved through connections. Long Dangdang had only been here a week and was already a class leader. This could only mean one thing - absolute strength.
Ling Bing blinked, "Wow Dangdang, you’re quick! There’s a big test just before the spirit furnace providential selection. Are you going to turn things around for Knights Class One?"
Long Dangdang modestly replied, "Dear aunt, I’m still not familiar with the academy. I’ll need your and my cousin’s guidance."
Listening to him, Menglu also revealed surprise in her eyes. She too felt a familiar ring to this way of speaking. freewebnøvel.coɱ
Ling Bing curiously asked, "Your tutors are Six Sister’s ranked 9th, who are they?"
Long Dangdang respectfully replied, "They are the divine knight of Knights’ Holy Mountain, Hai Jifeng and Magic Demigod Zi Tianwu from the Magic Temple."
Old Master Ling’s eyebrows slightly raised, "The Reckless Knight and the Listener of Wind."
Long Dangdang slightly bowed his body. He couldn’t comment on his mentors’ nicknames.
Old Master Ling smiled and said, "These two lads are quite promising among the younger generation, they have potential. They might even enter the Sacred Legate in ten, twenty years."
Long Dangdang was shocked. The old man’s words were not an average professionist’s comment on 9th Rank professionists. It clearly carried the tone of a highly ranked person appraising the younger generation. His mom never mentioned that grandpa was a powerful professionist!
Grandma said with a smile, "The spirit furnace providential selection is the most important ceremony of the Spirit Furnace Academy. Though you’re new, you must seize this opportunity. The more spirit furnace you absorb, the greater your chances of fusion, and you’ll have more methods."
Grandpa frowned, "The value of the spirit furnace is in its quality, not quantity. You first need to identify your core spirit furnace."
Long Dangdang curiously asked, "Grandpa, what is a core spirit furnace?"
Old Master Ling said, "If a professionist wishes to surpass the masses, the power of the spirit furnace is indispensable. Everyone has the possibility to fuse with various spirit furnaces, but there needs to be a hierarchy. Choose the spirit furnace that suits you the most and provides the biggest help as your core. Other spirit furnaces either fuse with it or assist it, maximizing its power."
Grandma said, "Your grandpa is right, but it’s hard. It’s not easy to find a good core spirit furnace, don’t choose lightly. Different spirit furnaces have different upper limits. Of course, if you can get approval from one of the nine core wisdom spirit furnaces of the Spirit Furnace Academy, it would make a perfect core."
