“Calm down.” Ye Hua glared at Li Xin. “The Demon Hunt Squad Selection Competition gathers elite talents from the entire Temple Alliance. Is it strange that there are Earth Knights? Almost every year there are. Don’t forget, our Knight Temple is the leader of the six great temples. It’s not just our Knight Temple that has fifth-tier professionals; the other great temples have them too. Understand that the final stage of the Demon Hunt Squad Selection Competition is almost a stage for fifth-tier professionals when competing for the top ten. Don’t think that just because you are excellent in Haoyue City, you will be equally outstanding here. First, get your mindset right. Your mission is to strive to enter the top ten in the preliminary round to enter the final stage and become a member of the Demon Hunt Squad.”

Although this year’s Demon Hunt Squad Selection Competition has seen many young and powerful individuals, Ye Hua is not particularly anxious. Long Haochen is only fourteen years old and can participate in two more Demon Hunt Squad Selection Competitions. This time, he mainly hopes that his beloved disciple will come to gain experience. As for competing for rankings, that’s for the next Selection Competition. Give Long Haochen five more years, and an Earth Knight? Hmph, at least a peak Earth Knight.

Of course, Ye Hua won’t tell Long Haochen this now, as he doesn’t want to diminish his disciple’s fighting spirit.

“In a sense, the preliminary round is more cruel than the final. It’s a direct elimination tournament by drawing lots. However, participants above the fifth tier get a bye in the first two rounds. Moreover, the Temple will arrange for them to only meet in the competition for the top ten, to ensure that our Knight Temple can achieve good results in the final stage of the Selection Competition. Therefore, you must be on your toes and not make any mistakes, otherwise, you may be eliminated in the first round.”

“Yes,” Long Haochen and Li Xin responded respectfully.

Ye Hua said, “Alright, go back to your rooms and rest. Don’t go out before the competition starts. The more spiritual power you can improve, the greater your chances in the competition will be.”

Long Haochen returned to his room, and before he could start cultivating, Ye Hua followed.

“Teacher,” Long Haochen respectfully saluted Ye Hua.

Ye Hua waved his hand, signaling him to sit down. “Tell me about your experience in this trial.”

Long Haochen naturally didn’t hide anything, recounting in detail their successive hunts of the Rook Tribe, the Earth Cree Tribe, and finally the Viridian Twin Blade Demon. He also didn’t conceal the encounter with Lin Xin and the violent priest Sima Xian on the road.

Hearing Long Haochen’s account of their successful killing of the Viridian Twin Blade Demon, a hint of a smile couldn’t help but appear on Ye Hua’s face. However, the smile quickly turned into annoyance.

“You idiot, who told you to agree to that guy’s promise? You were tricked.”

Long Haochen was stunned and said, “Teacher, Lin Xin seemed pretty sincere, and the pills he gave me were indeed very good!”

Ye Hua patted his forehead and sighed softly, “You child, you’re still too young. Do you think you don’t have much chance of getting in the top three, so it doesn’t matter if you agree to him?”

Long Haochen didn’t say anything, but he knew that he did have that thought at the time.

“You, you, what can I say about you? Since he has Insight, he must have seen your age and cultivation. You’re only fourteen years old; if you don’t make it this time, can’t you strive for the top three next time? I’m sure that kid is no more than twenty years old and can participate in another Selection Competition. Moreover, his magic level is probably more than just a little lacking.”

Long Haochen lowered his head. “I’m sorry, Teacher. I was wrong.”

Ye Hua took a deep breath. “Forget it, what can be done now that you’ve already agreed. A great man keeps his word. Show me the pills he gave you.”

Long Haochen quickly took out the three kinds of pills and the Strength Pill from his Forget-Me-Not and handed them to Ye Hua.

“Oh, that kid has a bit of conscience. These are all fourth-tier pills. These bottles combined probably cost more than 100,000 gold coins. If he really made them all, then even if his magic is a little lacking, he can be your teammate. Put them away and work hard these next two days. The goal I set for you is simple: to enter the finals.”

The Demon Hunt Squad Selection Competition has no spectators. Because the future members of the Demon Hunt Squad will all face the demons. Their information must be kept secret. Therefore, although ordinary people know there is such a grand event, they don’t know the process or the results.

Long Haochen’s number plate is ninety-seven, the same as his innate spiritual power number, and Li Xin’s is ninety-eight.

The day of the competition finally arrived. Early in the morning, Ye Hua took the two to the Saint Alliance Grand Trial Field.

The entire Grand Trial Field was built with the six major temples in mind, so the six trial fields inside also belong to the six major temples respectively. Long Haochen and the others directly went to the Knight Trial Field to report with their number plates. Ye Hua, as their teacher, presented the letter of introduction given by the magistrate of Haoyue City and the confirmation letter from the Haoyue Knight Branch Temple, and was allowed to enter with them. Of course, each city and each profession can only have one teacher accompany them.

Yesterday, the bone age detection was completed during registration, so today they can enter directly after checking their number plates.

“Brother Ye Hua, we meet again.” Gui Ying and Gui Wu, father and son, happened to be reporting behind Long Haochen and the others.

Ye Hua’s eyes turned cold, and he said lightly, “You better pray that your son doesn’t meet Haochen.” After saying this, he led Long Haochen and Li Xin inside.

Gui Ying said coldly, “You should be worried about yourself.”

Ye Hua paused slightly, and without turning his head, said, “Also, wash your face clean, lest you dirty my hands at that time.”

“You…” Anger appeared on Gui Ying’s face, and he almost lost his temper. Ye Hua had already led Long Haochen and Li Xin inside.

The Saint Alliance Grand Trial Field is not open-air. Each trial field has a huge dome twenty zhang above it, covering the trial field below with a diameter of three hundred meters. If viewed from the sky, the Saint Alliance Grand Trial Field below appears as six huge hemispherical bulges.

Upon entering the Knight Trial Field, a strong fluctuation of magical elements rushed towards them. The magical elements here seemed to be almost tangible. Although they were not offensive, they brought an invisible pressure.

On the dome above, huge magical symbols could be vaguely seen. Complex magic arrays could be seen everywhere, obviously with different functions.

In the center of the trial field was a huge square with a diameter of two hundred meters. The ground was covered with yellow soil, and it was said that there were also large magic arrays under the yellow soil, so no matter how the yellow soil was destroyed, it could be restored in a short time.

Around the square was a circle of stands, with the highest stand particularly prominent, which was the main platform of the trial field.

“What a strong fluctuation of elements!” Li Xin exclaimed.
