Chapter 3 Luminosity protects constitution_1

Long Leilei and Ling Xue watched their two sons, exchanging glances from time to time, at a loss for words.

Long Dangdang and Long Kongkong were personally sent out of the Magic Temple's Soaring Dragon Branch Temple by Magic Mentor Guo Xu. This old magic mentor was so excited that he grabbed Long Leilei's hand and talked non-stop for a long time, even saying that he could let Long Dangdang skip the Temple Academy and directly join the Magic Temple to make sure to keep this genius.

Long Leilei himself was the Deputy Temple Master of the Soaring Dragon Branch Temple of the Priests Temple; he of course knew what an innate magic spiritual force of eighty-three meant. It was genius among geniuses! Yet, his reaction was different from that of Guo Xu. Just how did his other son end up with a score of nine? The disparity was way too big. He went home and told Ling Xue about it, and she was also dumbfounded.

"There's quite a difference between the two you gave birth to," Long Leilei murmured.

"What do you mean, Long?" Ling Xue raged, hands on her hips.

Long Dangdang grumbled quietly, "Mom, your disapproval is a little too broad, isn't it?"

Ling Xue coldly huffed, pulled Long Kongkong in front of her and hugged him close, "Sweetheart, don't worry, it's just that your innate magic spiritual power is nine, no big deal. So maybe you're not suited to be a mage, a priest, or a summoner. We still have three other Temples to choose from."

Long Leilei quickly added, "Exactly, if your innate magic spiritual power is low, your innate inner spiritual power should be good. Kongkong, it's okay, you're definitely the best."

Long Kongkong was squished in Ling Xue's hug, struggling to break free, "Mom, Dad, I'm fine! Isn't it good if I'm not gifted? Now I can slack off without you guys criticising me."

Long Leilei was shocked, raised a hand to smack him, but Ling Xue blocked him, furiously saying, "Don't you dare hit my son. Kongkong must be saying that out of frustration, can't you tell? The saddest thing is giving up hope. Son, don't take it to heart!"

Long Kongkong, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, replied, "I..I'm not sad!"

"No, you are!" Ling Xue said with a sorrowful look, hugging her son even tighter.

Long Leilei quickly thought, "Let's not go to the Temple yet, let's measure his innate inner spiritual power at home first. Maybe we'll get a surprise?"

As he said this, he ran out and quickly came back with a pale golden crystal.

"Come, my son, let's measure your innate inner spiritual power." As he said this, there was a flash of gold from Long Leilei, and the golden crystal floated towards Long Kongkong.

The golden light shimmered, enveloping Long Kongkong. As he was still somewhat dazed, a faint golden light started to gather around his body.

Long Leilei and Ling Xue were both paying close attention, their eyes gleaming. But the golden light was only faint and didn't change much. The couple, who were familiar with inner spiritual power testing, felt their hearts sink.

Sure enough, the next moment the golden lights had reassembled back into the stone inside Long Kongkong's hand. Long Kongkong only felt a slight vibration in his palm, followed by the number eleven appearing on the surface of the golden stone.

"Innate inner spiritual power, eleven?" Long Leilei's voice was a little bitter.

Innate magic spiritual power measures one's innate ability to become a mage, priest, or summoner, while innate inner spiritual power is used to assess whether one can become a knight, a warrior, or an assassin.

A nine and an eleven, they knew all too well what those scores meant—they were ordinary, even perhaps worse than most ordinary people. With such talent, even with the most diligent cultivation, the chance of breaking past the 5th Rank was nearly impossible.

Long Kongkong blinked at his parents, "Does this mean I don't have to go to Temple Academy?" He'd heard that studying at the Temple Academy was gruelling. He was secretly glad his innate talents were failing him, as it meant he could avoid going to the Academy. His parents were strong professionalists with well-off backgrounds. Though he was young, he preferred a simple and comfortable life, and sleeping in as late he pleased sounded like the best thing in the world!

Long Dangdang took the golden stone that measured innate spiritual power from his brother's hand. Ling Xue quickly swooped in, hugging her younger son tightly in her arms.

"My sweet boy, don't be sad, it's okay. Innate spiritual powers aren't everything. In history, there have been examples of people breaking through these innate limits to become powerful. It's going to be alright, don't be sad! You still have me, your mother. I will always protect you."

Long Kongkong was being suffocated in his mother's hold. He thought to himself, Have I shown any sadness? Or should I look more sad to gain their sympathy? Can I then talk my way out of going to school since it'd be awkward for them to scold me? Heh heh heh.

Just as Long Leilei was about to offer his comforting words, a sudden dazzle of bright light burst forth. The air within the living room seemed to thicken in an instant.

Long Leilei turned around and saw that Long Dangdang's palm, where he held the golden stone, was emitting a brilliant light. The strong golden glow instantly illuminated the entire hall.

More shockingly, even outside the hall, there were faint golden lights converging inwards—all rushing towards Long Dangdang's body. It was as though they were being eagerly absorbed and his body seemed to become translucent from the golden glow.

"No way", murmured Long Leilei.
