However, even though his injuries weren’t fully healed, Long Haochen was surprised to find that both his internal and external spiritual power had improved quite a bit.

He was now an eighth-level Great Knight, with a combined internal and external spiritual power exceeding 1,600 points. Of these, his external spiritual power was at least around 240 points. The fierce battle yesterday had first boosted his external spiritual power by about 10 points, and his internal spiritual power had increased by 20 points, bringing him closer to becoming a ninth-level Great Knight.

Facing a life-or-death battle was the best way to stimulate one’s potential. Moreover, almost all of the attacks from the Earth-Class Stealth Assassin and the Zelin-Class Emerald Twin Blade Demon were endured by Long Haochen himself, so his spiritual power naturally increased the most. Of course, this increase was just Long Haochen’s own estimate. Unless it was a breakthrough across a rank, it was impossible to determine the specific data of one’s spiritual power based on feeling alone.

The other four woke up one after another. After waking up, they all showed surprise in their eyes, clearly sensing the improvement in their respective cultivations.

After washing up and having breakfast, Feng Yangmu appeared before them once again just as the five were packing up.

“Let’s go. Just like when you completed your trial missions before, I will be with you.” After saying this, Feng Yangmu disappeared in a flash of cyan light.

Li Xin stuck out her tongue and whispered, “This Teacher Feng probably has the cultivation of a sixth-level Grand Mage, right?”

Through yesterday’s fierce battle, the relationship between Lin Jialu and Li Xin had obviously eased somewhat. Lin Jialu nodded slightly and said, “Teacher Feng is a sixth-level, fourth-grade Grand Mage, a deacon of our Mage Temple.”

After thanking the garrison troops for their hospitality, the five mounted their horses and set off, with Lin Jialu naturally riding the Rose Unicorn with Li Xin, speeding towards the core of the Holy Temple Alliance in the northwest.

This was a hall with an overall color of dark gold. It was about five zhang tall and circular in shape.

There were no windows here, but it was illuminated in every detail by a special dim color.

It was a dark shade of blue, or rather, layers of dark blue light halos.

On the ground, dark golden textures formed an interlaced hexagram, with countless runes extending from the hexagram throughout the entire hall. The ground, walls, and even the ceiling were all covered with these runes, which seemed to be filled with profound truths.

If Long Haochen could come here, he would definitely recognize that these runes were very similar to those he had seen at the teleportation array on the Knight Sacred Mountain, and they were indeed ancient Elven script.

However, the ancient Elven script here all shimmered with the dark blue color that illuminated the hall. It wasn’t of the darkness attribute, but it was full of dark and murderous aura, completely different from the ancient Elven script at the Knight Sacred Mountain’s teleportation array.

The dark blue runes were filled with a restraining aura, as if sealing something.

In the very center of the hall, above the center of the hexagram, floated a short sword. A short sword that was jet black all over, emitting no luster at all. If it weren’t for the surrounding dark blue light, it would seem as if it didn’t exist at all.

There was no fluctuation of spiritual power, but that deep and extreme blackness seemed to dominate everything here. The dark blue runes seemed to be constantly bowing down to it.

Below this jet-black short sword, in the center of the hexagram, sat a person. A girl. She sat there cross-legged, her long purple hair draped over her shoulders, seemingly covered with a faint halo of dark blue light. Her skin was very fair, even unhealthily pale. Her delicate features were like a gift from the gods, but her slightly immature delicate body did not emit any youthful aura. Because she didn’t seem like a living person at all, more like a statue.

Her eyes were open, but her pupils were completely grayish-white. Such a beautiful face had closed the window to her soul, enough to make anyone who loved beauty sigh with regret.

“It’s time to set off.” A cold voice rang out from all directions of the hall.

“Mm.” A soft hum came from the exquisite girl’s delicate nose, who resembled a statue. She slowly stood up and looked up at the black short sword in the air.

A faint light flashed, and the black short sword suspended in mid-air descended from the sky, piercing straight into her brow and disappearing without a trace.

All the ancient Elven runes in the hall also dimmed in the next instant, losing their dark blue color.

…………

Ten days later.

Aimei City. One of the most prosperous main cities of the Holy Temple Alliance. Because it was located inland within the Alliance, this huge main city had hardly suffered the ravages of war. Its prosperity was second only to the Holy City where the Holy Temple Alliance was located. From Aimei City to the Holy City, it was only a little over eight hundred li, a two-day ride by fast horse.

Long Haochen and his companions had arrived in this prosperous city early this morning. Compared to this place, Haoyue City seemed as small as a single district.

However, the ten-day journey had left Long Haochen and the others physically and mentally exhausted, and they weren’t in the mood to admire the scenery. They found a hotel to stay in, had a good meal first, and then went back to their rooms to take a hot bath. There was no better way to relax than this.

There were still four days until the final registration deadline for the Demon Hunt Squad Selection Competition, so they decided to rest in Aimei City for a day and continue their journey early tomorrow morning.

After a day of rest, everyone felt much more comfortable. Long Haochen was meditating in his room when a knock on the door sounded.

“Haochen, come out with your sister for a walk.” Li Xin’s voice came from outside.

Circulating his internal spiritual power throughout his body, Long Haochen slowly got up, “Coming.”

With the improvement of his cultivation, the internal spiritual power in his body had become quite pure and thick. The faint golden halo cultivated with the Holy Spiritual Stove at his chest as the core gradually showed signs of compression and solidification. When his internal spiritual power could condense into a liquid state, it would mean that he would enter the Earth Knight realm. It seemed that he was only three hundred spiritual power points away, but in reality, breaking through the bottleneck of the fifth rank was not that easy.

“Sister, what are we going to do?” Long Haochen opened the door. Li Xin, who had changed into casual clothes, was leaning against the door, smiling at him.

Li Xin took his arm and said, “Don’t ask, just come with me. Haoyue, watch the house. I’ll buy you some dried fish to eat later.” As she spoke, she directly pulled Long Haochen out of the room. Little Light and Little Fire swallowed a mouthful of saliva and jumped onto the bed without ceremony to continue sleeping. Since eating that magic crystal, it had been sleeping more and more each day, and it only improved recently.

Walking to the hotel entrance, Long Haochen was surprised to find that Lin Jialu was already waiting there. Seeing him, she smiled slightly and said, “Let’s go.”

“Big sisters, what are we going to do?” Long Haochen asked in confusion. He could tell that Li Xin and Lin Jialu should have a goal.

Lin Jialu covered her mouth and chuckled, “Didn’t you always want to sell the Emerald Twin Blade Demon’s corpse? This Aimei City has a very large auction house, and the Emerald Twin Blade Demon can barely be auctioned off. We’re going to sell it and share the money. Sister also wants to buy something.”

“Oh.” Long Haochen agreed somewhat unconvinced. In his heart, cultivation was obviously more important.
