The angel shining with Holy Light slowly disappeared behind Fangzheng. It was only then that the old bishop and Shi Dong breathed a sigh of relief. They were all devout believers of the Holy Cathedral, so they naturally understood how lofty an angel's position was in the Holy Cathedral. Although the angel's strength might not be as strong as Shi Dong's, just her presence alone was enough to make people feel pressured. Not to mention, although this Grand Knight looked careless, he was also a devout believer. Even if he could win, would he dare to fight the angel?
Of course, that was impossible.
At the same time, the way they looked at Fangzheng had changed a lot.
"Holy Spirit Protector …"
The old bishop clenched his fists and stared at Fangzheng. Although he had guessed that this young man must have a powerful background, he did not expect him to have a Holy Spirit Protector!
"This kid has some skill."
At that moment, Shi Dong had his arms crossed as he nodded at Fangzheng with a satisfied look. There were not many people who could make him suffer. Although the other party seemed to have used a trick, this was not a duel or a duel. A real battlefield was not a fair competition. So, not only was Shi Dong not dissatisfied with Fangzheng's counterattack just now, he felt that this little guy was really interesting.
"Phew …"
Sheathing his sword, Fangzheng was sweating profusely. His last counterattack was really a fluke. If he had not been able to cast the Holy Storm at that time, he probably would not have been able to force Shi Dong to retreat.
But the biggest gain from this battle was that Fangzheng thoroughly recognized the gap between himself and the strong people of the Main World. He originally thought that by relying on his A-level Royal Cross Swordsmanship, he would at least be able to exchange blows with the other party. But he did not expect to be put in such a dangerous situation after just one exchange. If not for Shi Dong's lack of familiarity with his swordsmanship, Fangzheng might not have been able to win by a fluke. And this was after Shi Dong voluntarily surrendered because his weapon was damaged. Otherwise, who knew what would have happened to Fangzheng if the fight had continued.
Sure enough, the gap was still a little too big.
Shaking his head, Fangzheng cast aside the melancholy in his heart and looked at Shi Dong.
"Sir Shi Dong, have I passed the test?"
"Hahaha, of course, interesting little fellow."
Upon hearing Fangzheng's question, Shi Dong laughed out loud. He didn't seem depressed from being defeated at all.
"You've passed the test. I haven't seen someone as interesting as you in a long time.... By the way, what's your name?"
"My name is Fangzheng."
"Fangzheng? I didn't expect you to have such an interesting name. Such a strange name is really rare. "
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, Shi Dong smiled, then he thought for a while and looked at Fangzheng again.
"Then, Fangzheng, how about I be your guide?"
"… Guide?"
Fangzheng was obviously a little surprised by this unexpected invitation, but Shi Dong nodded seriously.
"That's right, um … To be honest, from the battle just now, I found that although you have some combat experience, your foundation is not solid. And although the swordsmanship you've mastered is very powerful, you can't use it freely at all. In my opinion, this is really too wasteful. Such pure divine power, if you don't use it well, it'll be a reckless waste of God's gift. What do you think? I think this suggestion is not bad. After all, I'm not like those old antiques who won't talk about commandments in your ears every day. You just need to learn how to fight with me. What do you think? It's simple, isn't it? "
Impressive.
Hearing Shi Dong's words, Fangzheng's expression changed. He knew himself very well. Although he had learned some fighting, it was basically for the purpose of self-defense, so it was meaningless. After coming to this world, Fangzheng had almost been forced to rush into battle like a duck being forced to do something beyond its perch. He had learned it from scratch.
Although Fangzheng had read a lot of martial arts novels in which powerful swordsmen could judge the level of the other party's strength with a single move, it was still different to experience it firsthand.
On this continent, a guide was similar to a mentor. It was a very glorious thing to have a guide.
So, should he accept this suggestion?
The answer was almost yes.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Sir Shi Dong."
To be able to receive guidance from a powerful knight in this world was exactly what Fangzheng wanted.
"Hmm?"
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, Shi Dong's eyes widened and he looked at him with a hint of dissatisfaction. Fangzheng was not a fool, so he immediately corrected himself.
"… Mentor."
"Good, hahaha, not bad, not bad. I finally have a student. Let's see what else Vara has to say this time!"
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, Shi Dong laughed proudly. The old bishop next to him rolled his eyes. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he did not say anything. He just cast a sympathetic look at Fangzheng.
… Wait, why are you looking at me like that? What did I do wrong?
Just when Fangzheng was confused by the old bishop's look, Shi Dong was already striding towards the door.
"Alright, kid! Remember to get ready. Starting tomorrow, I'll give you special training! "
"Special training?"
Faced with Shi Dong's confusing words, Fangzheng was also stunned. He did not understand what the other party was talking about.
"That's right. Just wash your neck and wait. You're going to suffer!"
"Got it."
Frankly speaking, it was a little surprising that he would have to undergo special training right after joining the Holy Cathedral. But in Fangzheng's world, he was already used to the swift and decisive actions of the army, so he was only a little surprised by Shi Dong's words. He quickly agreed. Hearing Fangzheng's answer, Shi Dong did not say anything else. He just waved at Fangzheng and turned to leave.
The old bishop's expression changed a few times. He sighed helplessly, turned around, and walked quickly in the direction Shi Dong left.
"Shi Dong! Shi Dong! "
"Hmm? What's wrong? Old man? "
Hearing the old bishop's call, Shi Dong turned his head and looked at the old man behind him.
"Are you really going to bring that young man with you?"
"Of course. Didn't I tell you? Since he's already my student, of course he has to work with me. And as you've seen, that little guy isn't one of those aristocratic pretty boys. His swordsmanship is pretty good. In my opinion, he should be at the level of an intermediate knight. It's just that his actual combat experience is a little lacking. If I give him some special training, he'll definitely be able to do better. "
"But even so …."
The old bishop obviously did not agree with Shi Dong's whimsical idea.
"Are you really going to do that? You know, that young man has the protection of the Holy Soul …. "
"That's why I'm going to train him, old man."
Hearing this, Shi Dong turned his head. The frivolous smile on his face suddenly disappeared and was replaced with a serious expression.
"Fortunately, there are only the two of us in the training ground. What do you think the cultists will do if they find out that we have an apprentice knight with the protection of the Holy Soul?"
"This …."
Hearing Shi Dong's question, the old bishop's expression changed.
"You haven't forgotten the disaster in the Dark Fallen Moon, have you? At that time, the Saint Knights were almost completely wiped out. After that, we completely lost the organization. Although most of the cultists of Chaos died afterward, for the Holy Church, that blow was almost fatal. "
"…."
This time, the old man did not answer immediately. He was silent for a moment before he let out a long sigh.
"Of course I won't forget …. That was a really terrifying period …."
"That's why it's hard to see Saint Knights on the continent now. Even their inheritance has dissipated …."
Speaking of this, Shi Dong was silent for a moment.
"I think he might be able to obtain the inheritance of the Holy Soul again."
"After saying so much, do you think I'll agree to let him be your student?"
The old bishop raised his eyebrows and glared at Shi Dong. Shi Dong shrugged nonchalantly.
"Of course, I admit that sometimes my methods are a little rough, but you have to admit that it's very useful, isn't it? He's still too weak. If he can't even protect himself, how can he grow? "
Hearing Shi Dong's answer, the old bishop hesitated for a moment, then let out a long sigh.
"Alright …. I promise you. I won't report this matter to the Central Bishops for the time being, and I promise that only the two of us will know about it. Is that okay? "
"I'm counting on you, old man."
This time, a smile appeared on Shi Dong's face again.
