“Sister, be careful.” Long Haochen shouted in a low voice, his feet already moving. The distance he covered with each step wasn’t large, but his pace was extremely fast. He executed a knight’s short-range charge. With one sword leading and the other behind, he reached Li Xin almost instantly.

A straightforward and forceful thrust headed directly towards Li Xin’s left shoulder. Building on the momentum of the charge, this thrust was full of power.

Li Xin smiled slightly. Unhurried, she raised her left-hand sword to block Long Haochen’s attack, while her right-hand sword remained still. She wanted to see just how effective this little guy’s attack could be.

Bang! Without warning, Long Haochen stomped hard on the ground with his right foot. The effect of this stomp was to instantly end his seemingly unstoppable charge. His body paused, and the thrusting iron sword quickly retracted, just barely avoiding Li Xin’s upward parry.

Nalan Shu’s eyes lit up. “Skill interruption?”

The moment the iron sword was withdrawn, its blade flashed brightly. Then, with a speed at least twice as fast as before, it shot out like lightning, still targeting Li Xin’s left shoulder.

Pure White Blade, Thrust. The two knight skills were released almost perfectly in unison. And it happened right after dodging Li Xin’s upward parry.

The knight’s Thrust skill could increase attack speed and also condense spiritual power. Combined with the Pure White Blade, which was already condensing spiritual power, the power of this attack greatly exceeded Long Haochen’s own 107 spiritual power.

Li Xin wasn’t just a trainee knight; she was a true knight. When her sword missed, she became vigilant. Her right-hand sword crossed in front of her almost in the nick of time. Even with the boost from the Thrust skill, Long Haochen couldn’t outpace her defense.

Clang!

The two swords collided. Long Haochen’s thrust hit about a third of the way down Li Xin’s sword. The difference in power between a parry and a direct thrust was too great. Therefore, even though Li Xin’s spiritual power was far higher than Long Haochen’s, passively blocking this attack still forced her to take two steps back.

Clack! Long Haochen’s right-hand sword was knocked away, but his movements didn’t falter in the slightest. As his right arm swept the iron sword upwards, he took another step, actually launching another charge.

A second charge, and within such a short distance, after his attack was shaken off.

Long Haochen’s flexible right arm swept past his side. In this second charge, he only took three steps. As his third step landed, his body seemed a little unstable. Using his toe as a pivot, he quickly spun around, swinging his left-hand sword, the Pure White Blade shimmering with a faint white light, directly at Li Xin with a sharp aura.

Although Li Xin’s eyes were full of surprise, her talent as a knight genius was also revealed at this moment. She pushed back with her right foot, stabilizing her body. At the same time, she lowered her stance slightly. Her right-hand sword rose again, and her left-hand sword flashed forward, transforming into dozens of sword shadows that enveloped Long Haochen’s body. Lightning Thrust, a third-tier knight skill.

Defense, counterattack.

Then, a scene that left Nalan Shu, who was watching from the sidelines, dumbfounded occurred.

With a loud clang, Long Haochen’s full-powered slash collided with Li Xin’s upward-sweeping sword. Although Long Haochen’s spiritual power was at least a hundred points lower than Li Xin’s, his attack used skill and the momentum of his pursuit. When the two swords met, neither gained an advantage; in fact, Li Xin’s body even swayed slightly.

But at this time, Li Xin’s Lightning Thrust had reached Long Haochen. In that instant, Nalan Shu wanted to call a halt, and Li Xin also prepared to stop.

However, Long Haochen’s right-hand sword, which had been deflected earlier, moved.

Dreamlike sword shadows exploded in front of him. In a rapid series of metallic clashes, every single attack of the Lightning Thrust was blocked flawlessly.

Because Li Xin was afraid of hurting Long Haochen, she naturally didn’t use her full strength. Not only was her attack blocked, but Long Haochen took the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

Wielding both swords, one horizontal and one vertical, the knight’s signature skill, Cross Slash, was unleashed instantly.

The smile that was previously in Li Xin’s eyes had vanished completely. After unleashing Lightning Thrust, she was in a phase where her old strength was gone and her new strength hadn’t yet emerged. Moreover, because she never expected Long Haochen to be able to block the attack, she hadn’t prepared any follow-up moves.

A layer of light golden radiance shone from Li Xin’s body. Her right-hand sword instantly pierced the ground, and a surge of golden light erupted, rising more than two meters high.

With two clangs, Long Haochen’s Cross Slash was blocked by a layer of golden light, which rebounded the attack. At the same time, he quickly retreated a few steps, adopting a defensive stance. The series of attacks had taken quite a toll on him.

Li Xin looked at Long Haochen, who was retreating, with some frustration. “Not bad! Little guy, you actually forced me to use Ascension Array to resolve your attack. Be careful, though. I’m going to attack now.”

Ascension Array, a third-tier skill of the Punishing Knight, uses the knight’s unique holy attribute to form a light shield that provides all-around defense equal to the knight’s own spiritual power.

With a step, Li Xin jumped up, her right-hand sword directly slashing down at Long Haochen. At this point, she was really quite frustrated. Being forced by this little level-one trainee knight to use a divine energy skill like Ascension Array to resolve his attacks felt like cheating. She felt her face burning. She had to regain some face.

This time, Long Haochen didn’t launch a counterattack. His right-hand sword rose, and for a moment, he gave people the feeling of being a statue. Even though it was just for that moment, it almost made Nalan Shu, who was watching from the sidelines, pop his eyes out.

With a crisp clang, Li Xin was actually knocked back in astonishment.

You have to know that her spiritual power was at least double that of Long Haochen’s, and she was launching a jumping slash from the air. Even if she held back, her attack power was considerable. In Li Xin’s opinion, she should at least knock Long Haochen back. But in fact, she was the one who was knocked back. Her hand holding the sword felt numb.

“I’m not fighting anymore. What’s going on?!” Li Xin landed on the ground in frustration, looking at Long Haochen, who was still in a defensive stance, with confusion.

Seeing that Li Xin had stopped, Long Haochen also put away his swords, looking at the frustrated Li Xin somewhat embarrassed, not knowing what to say.

“Uncle Nalan, please be the judge. What’s going on? Does Haochen really only have a level-one trainee knight’s spiritual power cultivation? How did he knock me back?”

As she spoke, Li Xin saw Nalan Shu’s shocked expression. This time, it was like he had become a statue, standing there with a dumbfounded look.

“Uncle Nalan, what’s wrong?” Li Xin asked in confusion.

“Divine Deflection? Little Haochen, quickly tell me, did you use Divine Deflection just now?” Nalan Shu rushed to Long Haochen in a few steps, his eyes full of urgency and shock.

Li Xin’s heroic and beautiful face immediately showed a look of horror. “Uncle Nalan, you’re not wrong, are you? Is that the Divine Deflection that represents the Radiant Knight? Impossible, that’s absolutely impossible. Isn’t it said that only Radiant Knights can learn Divine Deflection?”

Radiant Knight, a sixth-tier knight title. Divine Deflection is also the signature skill of the Radiant Knight, and is also known as one of the most perverted skills in the knight profession.

PS: Can anyone guess where I got the inspiration to write the Divine Deflection skill? Inspiration from a dozen or twenty years ago…
