Chapter 34: Chapter 17: The Youngest Magic Demigod!_1 Chapter 34: Chapter 17: The Youngest Magic Demigod!_1 Long Kongkong was dazed, and so were his fellow students, who were ready to pay attention to the instructor’s explanations.
They’d seen tough matches before, but they’d never seen a teacher getting knocked out with a single blow. And that was Long Kongkong showing restraint. In that instant when his wooden sword swung, he turned the sword hilt and used the sword spine to strike. Even a wooden sword striking the back of the head would be more than enough to knock soone out.
Wei Huo was certainly a 5th rank knight, but still, getting hit in the back of the head with a wooden sword unexpectedly – a sword that he’d unwittingly helped power – was enough to send him straight into unconsciousness.
At that mont, a flash of light, and a figure appeared beside Wei Huo. Na Ye placed his right hand on Wei Huo’s forehead, gauged his condition, then said with a slightly odd tone, “It’s nothing serious, just a mild concussion. He’ll recover quickly.”
Long Kongkong blinked his eyes, “I… I didn’t an to do it. It’s just that his head was right in the path of my sword and…”
Na Ye gave him a quick side glance without responding, his hands aglow with golden light. After a short ti, Wei Huo breathed out slowly, waking up. Luckily, he was a 5th rank knight with self-repairing inner spiritual power. Otherwise, the back of the head is quite delicate, even just a hit might be too much!
Xi Feng had sneaked over to Long Kongkong, whispering softly, “Boss, you’re aweso! I thought only I would ever get knocked out by you, but teachers too! From now on, I am following you.”
Wei Huo, rubbing his head and sitting up to see Na Ye standing in front of him and the students nearby, blushed with embarrassnt. Not only had he been knocked out by his own student, but that student was a freshman too! Where could he even hide his face?
Na Ye cleared his throat, saying, “It was an accident. Just an accident, due to inertia you were hit by Long Kongkong.”
With a bitter smile, Wei Huo said, “I underestimated him, underestimated…” He turned to look at Long Kongkong, who imdiately gave him a pitiful look.
“Group leader, I now get why you marked him as a hundred points. Makes sense, real sense indeed!”
Na Ye coughed again, adding, “Well, compared to other students, Long Kongkong’s combat skills are indeed stronger. From now on, I’ll be instructing him personally in practical classes. To avoid any unfairness to other students.”
Wei Huo was stunned, “Is that …is that okay?”
Na Ye replied, “Nothing’s wrong with it. I am the group leader of this grade, what I say goes. Also, he is still, technically, your student.” As he spoke, he waved his hand, making sothing shimr in front of Wei Huo.
The next mont, Wei Huo’s eyes widened. He seed to see sothing unbelievable, even more shocking than being knocked out by Long Kongkong. Seconds later, he stood directly upright and solemnly saluted.
“Co,” said Na Ye, annoyed, signaling to Long Kongkong. Long Kongkong stuck his tongue out, and then went over to Wei Huo, whispered, “I’m sorry, teacher,” then rushed after Na Ye.
Wei Huo, touching the bump on the back of his head, suddenly shouted, “What are you all gawking at? Don’t we have training to do? Xi Feng, co here, I’ll practice with you.”
“Ah? Ah——”
Long Kongkong, who had followed Na Ye, was now bragging.
“Teacher, how aweso am I? After only a day of training, I even defeated the head-teacher. Turns out I’m such a genius! You were right, innate inner spiritual power isn’t everything.”
Na Ye, irritated, replied, “Shut up. You were just lucky plus Wei Huo let his guard down, and that’s the only reason you managed to get in a blow. He was afraid of hurting you and restrained his power. Otherwise, you think you could have outwitted him?”
A little disheartened, Long Kongkong protested, “But my last strike was a stroke of genius, wasn’t it?”
Na Ye, deep in thought, responded, “Given that my ntorship influences you, it’s natural that you might co up with a brilliant idea once in a while. The credit should really be given to my training, not to anything exceptional about you.”
Long Kongkong scowled , “Teacher, you’re trying to take credit for this too?”
“Shut up. The critical point in the strike you delivered wasn’t technique, but what amounted to a spontaneous result of my training combined with your keen instinct. You managed to use ‘Power Poaching’. The force that Wei Huo exerted over you was enough to suppress you, but you managed to steal so of that power and convert it into your own attack. That’s what enabled you to change your move at the last minute. So, tell , what was it like? How did you do ‘Power Poaching’?”
“Oh,” responded Long Kongkong. “At that mont, I felt an enormous pressure, then it felt like a suction force appeared at my chest that drew in the pressure. As a result, I felt my power increasing. And that was about it.”
Na Ye stopped walking, and intensely looked at him. Suddenly, he raised his hand and focused his sight toward Long Kongkong’s chest. Long Kongkong only felt an invisible pressure coming from all directions. Under the pain of being crushed, he was horrified and tried to scream, but no sound ca out.
Just then, a warm force started to rotate at his chest area, relieving so of the pressure and giving Long Kongkong so strength.” You old man, so this is your retaliation for not letting you take credit…” Before he could finish his sentence, the pressure increased drastically, leaving him speechless once again.
Due to the external pressure, the vortex at his chest started to speed up drastically, absorbing even more pressure. However, the colossal pressure from Na Ye was too much for his little vortex to draw away. Under the trendous pressure, Long Kongkong felt it increasingly difficult to breathe.
Finally, the pressure abruptly disappeared. Long Kongkong felt light as a feather and sat helplessly on the ground, panting heavily. At that mont, he experienced sothing akin to a near-death situation.
“The feeling isn’t comfortable, is it? When you face a strong person whose strength is far above yours, if you are opposing each other, that’s what it feels like. If you want to avoid such a feeling, then work hard and make yourself a strong one.”
He spoke thus, but inside, Na Ye’s heart was stirred by tumultuous waves.
The Elental Vortex Spirit Furnace. Undoubtedly, when he applied pressure to Long Kongkong just now, it was the Elental Vortex Spirit Furnace that played its role, absorbing so of the pressure and transforming it into Long Kongkong’s own power. One must know that Long Kongkong’s current strength is still very weak, adding up to less than thirty even with his inner and outer spiritual power combined. Yet under such circumstances, the Elental Vortex Spirit Furnace could produce such effects. Most importantly, there is absolutely no record of such effects in the history of the Temple Federation. That is to say, when Long Kongkong absorbed the Elental Vortex Spirit Furnace this ti, he might have truly unlocked the correct way to use it.
Whether it is the continuous enhancent of his innate inner spiritual power or the ability to absorb external power to strengthen himself, both of these are incredibly powerful abilities! This disciple of his might not have extraordinary talent, but his luck is pretty good.
Suddenly, his eyes condensed, and he looked in a certain direction, his voice deep, “Who’s there?”
Mages Class One.
Looking at the brightly colored magic balls in Long Dangdang’s hand, all the classmates were stunned. They had just entered school, was the gap already this huge?
“Teacher, how do I disperse these magic elents?” asked Long Dangdang. He couldn’t possibly stimulate these magic elents here, could he?
“Oh, let do it.” Si Yu only then snapped back to reality.
Just as she was about to take action, a strange voice suddenly spoke, “Don’t stop, keep going!”
The next mont, Long Dangdang felt a chill force pouring into his mind, and his sowhat depleted spiritual power instantly beca invigorated again. A figure also appeared beside him.
It was a man in a green robe, slender, with an ordinary face, but his eyes conveyed a profound depth. It was as if within his eyes lay a universe of stars. He appeared to be in his mid-thirties, hands behind his back, standing quietly beside Long Dangdang.
As he arrived, the entire Magic Academy’s 1st Grader Class One turned azure, including Si Yu. Except for Long Dangdang, everyone else was immobilized and could not speak.
As the spiritual power was injected, Long Dangdang returned to his previous sense of the elents, and his perception beca even clearer.
Soon, a dark ball began to silently appear in his palm, slowly coalescing into form.
Seeing this scene, the man in the green robe muttered to himself, “Water and fire, luminosity and deep darkness, all acknowledged. Interesting! This talent can scarcely be compared to the current number one magic demigod of the Magic Temple, Zi Tianwu.”
At that mont, another luminescent sphere started to coalesce in Long Dangdang’s palm. The spiritual power the man in the green robe was providing was far stronger than Si Yu’s, which allowed Long Dangdang to control it with ease. Silver, the sphere this ti was silver, with a twisting halo of fluctuations.
“Space too? Good lad, indeed a good lad.” The man in the green robe’s eyes grew brighter, “Only a prodigy can participate in the world of prodigies. Very well, I’ll reluctantly accept this disciple.”
“Wake up!” he commanded, and with a wave of his hand, the seven-colored light orbs in Long Dangdang’s palm disappeared. The next mont, Long Dangdang woke up. Not only was he not weakened from the consumption of spiritual power, he felt energized. He even vaguely saw a small lake, a light golden lake, in his mind when the man in the green robe first injected his spiritual power.
“Very good, customization of seven elents and almost equal strength for each, plus an innate magic spiritual power of eighty-four, acceptable. Barely qualified to be my disciple.”
The next mont, awash with green light, the man in the green robe and Long Dangdang disappeared from the classroom.
It was only after they left that Si Yu and the other students regained their mobility. Shock was visible in Si Yu’s eyes. Who was that person just now, and what level of cultivation did he possess? Judging from his words, he should not be malicious. However, she still needed to report this to the academy as soon as possible.
“Classmates, you practice by yourselves, I need to step out for a mont.”
Engulfed in green light, Long Dangdang felt like he was in a surreal world. When everything beca clear again, he was surprised to find that he had been brought by the man in the green robe to the top of a mountain.
He felt sowhat at a loss, “Senior, you are…?”
The man in the green robe, with his hands behind his back, gazed at the distant mountains. “Let introduce myself. My na is Zi Tianwu, the youngest and most gifted Magic Demigod in the Magic Temple, the Listener of Wind, the Bearer of Elents Tide, and the future Magic Temple Master.” At this mont, a green radiance seed to emanate from him, causing Long Dangdang to feel slightly asphyxiated.
Magic Demigod? The highest level of existence in the magical profession, a 9th Rank magic demigod?
“Disciple, shouldn’t you hurry and pay homage to your master? What are you waiting for?” Zi Tianwu stated arrogantly.
“Nonsense! You proud green peacock, do you really think you are worthy?” Before Long Dangdang could speak, a deep roar echoed through the air, the rolling sound waves scattered the clouds around the mountains, and a figure shot over like a bolt of lightning.
