The fifth tier, compared to the peak of the fourth tier, is indeed a qualitative evolution! Even though Long Haochen used so many powerful skills, and possessed a speed of skill execution far surpassing that of knights of the same tier, along with intense perception and powerful Retribution Knight skills due to his talent, he still couldn’t injure his opponent before defeating Knight Four.

“I lost. I actually lost?” Knight Four sat blankly on the ground, his face ashen. As a fifth-tier Earth Knight, he failed to even make it into the top ten in this Demon Hunt Squad selection competition, unable to truly become a member of a Demon Hunt Squad. He was already at the age limit, making it impossible for him to participate in the next selection. This defeat instantly excluded this favored son of heaven from the possibility of entering the core of the Knight Temple.

Hearing him say the words “I lost,” Long Haochen had already sheathed his twin swords and silently walked aside to pick up the Glory Shield. Although he won this battle, it was by no means an easy victory. Knight Four had placed tremendous pressure on him.

“No—, I’m not convinced, I’m not convinced.” Knight Four suddenly jumped up from the ground, his eyes red as he glared at Long Haochen. “I haven’t summoned my mount, nor have I put on my armor. I have a spiritual-magical-grade armor set. How could you possibly be my opponent? How could it be? Referee, I’m not convinced, I demand a rematch.”

The referee looked at him coldly, already standing between him and Long Haochen, and said indifferently, “You lost.”

Knight Four said agitatedly, “I didn’t lose. How could I lose to a fourth-tier kid?”

An aged voice came from the direction of the rostrum, filled with a hint of anger. “I ask you, what are the Tenets of a Knight?”

Knight Four was stunned. This was something every knight learned from childhood, and he almost instinctively recited, “Humility, honesty, compassion, valor, justice, sacrifice, honor, perseverance, charity, and righteousness.”

The aged voice said in a deep voice, “Then where are your humility and honesty? Rather than saying you lost to Ninety-Seven, you lost to yourself. It was your own choice not to wear armor and summon your mount. You cannot even abide by the most basic two tenets. Your temperament is no longer suitable to be a knight. Men, throw him out and strike him from the Temple’s rolls.”

Knight Four’s whole body shook violently, his face instantly turning pale. What did it mean to be struck from the Temple’s rolls? It meant that he was no longer a member of the Knight Temple. He also knew who was speaking. Even the three most powerful figures in the Knight Temple would have to give way to this old man.

With a *plop*, Knight Four fell to his knees, trembling as he said towards the direction of the rostrum, “Holy Knight Commander, I was wrong. I know I was wrong, please give me another chance. I will never dare to do it again.”

The Holy Knight Commander’s voice slowly transmitted, “That you could break through to the fifth tier before the age of twenty-five shows you possess excellent talent. However, you should also know that what our Knight Temple values most is not cultivation, but temperament. As the leader of the Six Great Temples, the core of any Demon Hunt Squad, if you cannot abide by the knightly tenets, you will only shame the glory of the knights. Tell me, what is glory?”

All the knights present stood up and shouted in unison, “Glory is life.”

The Holy Knight Commander said lightly, “Four, you have heard. Glory is life. Can you still possess the glory of the Knight Temple?”

Knight Four’s body was shaking violently, but kneeling there, he couldn’t say a word. He could tell that the Holy Knight Commander was truly angry.

“Holy Knight Commander.” Just then, a clear voice rang out. Everyone’s gaze couldn’t help but shift towards the source.

It was Long Haochen who spoke. Right fist clenched and placed over his left chest, he respectfully performed a knightly salute towards the direction of the rostrum.

“Speak,” The Holy Knight Commander’s voice was noticeably gentler, not hiding his affection for Long Haochen in the slightest.

Long Haochen glanced at Knight Four kneeling beside him and respectfully said, “Knight Commander, when I was very young, my mother told me that no one is perfect. Knight Four was just momentarily unbalanced because he lost. Arrogance is indeed wrong, but I don’t think it’s fair to him for this matter to become a turning point in his life. Personality is related to the environment in which he grew up, so he cannot be fully blamed. Please give him another chance. With this lesson, I believe he will correct himself.”

Hearing Long Haochen’s words, Knight Four was somewhat stunned as he looked up at him, with even a hint of unusual emotion in his eyes.

The direction of the rostrum suddenly fell silent. Everyone was also paying attention to the developments on the rostrum. After all, genius knights like Knight Four, who broke through to the fifth tier before the age of twenty-five, were very rare in the Knight Temple.

After a long while, the Holy Knight Commander let out a soft sigh from the direction of the rostrum, “Alright. Since you are pleading for him, I will give him a chance. Four, listen, if you still want to continue staying in the Knight Temple, then from now on, you will be Ninety-Seven’s squire knight. When the next Demon Hunt Squad selection competition begins, if you have been able to fulfill the duties of a squire knight, then I will allow you to rejoin the Knight Temple.”

Knight Four was first stunned, then overjoyed, “Thank you, Holy Knight Commander, for giving me this opportunity.” After saying these words, he stood up, turned to Long Haochen, and after a flash of struggle in his eyes, *plop*, he knelt on one knee in front of Long Haochen, “Master, Han Yu will follow your orders. I don’t yet know your name.”

Long Haochen said somewhat bewilderedly, “This, this…”

“His name is Long Haochen.” A cold voice came from the direction of the resting area. Long Haochen turned his head to look, and it was Teacher Ye Hua who was speaking.

Han Yu respectfully said, “Light God is above, Han Yu is willing to serve Long Haochen as master for the next five years, master’s glory is my glory, if I violate this oath, may God punish me.”

Long Haochen was always so calm in battle, but he was still only a fourteen-year-old teenager after all, and he was immediately a little flustered in the face of this situation. He hurriedly said, “You get up quickly.” As he said that, he helped Han Yu up.

Han Yu respectfully said, “Master, I still have some matters to deal with at home. I will go back and deal with them now. Tomorrow, I will come here to look for master and follow you to the death for the next five years.”

After the blow just now, the arrogance on his face had disappeared. Although there was still a bit of unwillingness in his eyes, he still endured the discomfort in his heart, thinking of the terrible consequences of being expelled from the Temple. After all, how could he realize his dreams if he left the Knight Temple?

Although Long Haochen was somewhat confused now, there must be a reason for Ye Hua to let him agree. After applying a Holy Light Barrier to himself, he walked back to the rest area.

“Little brother, you’re amazing.” Li Xin immediately rushed up and gave him a big hug. The other participants from the Knight Temple showed a hint of fear on their faces when they looked at Long Haochen again.

In this kind of one-on-one competition, Retribution Knights were obviously more advantageous than Guardian Knights, even though Han Yu had ultimately lost due to his own arrogance and conceit. However, don’t forget that Long Haochen’s final series of attacks were able to prevent him from having the slightest chance. How could ordinary Retribution Knights have done that? That instant burst of power, especially the combination of using two minds and the Holy Sword at the end, was the real reason for his victory. An attack that even a fifth-tier knight couldn’t stop!
