Long Haochen was immediately astonished to realize that the heat within his body wasn’t due to the blood pact fusion with Haoyue, but because of this little fellow in front of him?

Its condition didn’t seem good! Very weak. The light element on its body was even becoming unstable. If it continued like this, it might vanish into the air forever.

The weather was nice today, and the sunlight bathed the light element sprite, seemingly improving its listless state somewhat. It was struggling to fly away.

However, how could it escape in front of a Xia Yin assassin from the Assassin Temple? Xia Yin Number 19 did nothing but place his hand above its head, and all its struggles became futile.

The slight jealousy that all the members of the Second to Tenth Demon Hunt Squads felt toward the First Class Demon Hunt Squad because of their meritorious service vanished without a trace. They even sneered. This was definitely picking up a sesame seed while losing a watermelon!

Compared to the Light Element Spiritual Stove, five hundred meritorious services were simply worlds apart.

Especially the priests, knights, and the few light-系 magic users from each Demon Hunt Squad; their eyes were all glowing blue. If they could possess the Light Element Spiritual Stove, their strength would instantly increase greatly.

Xia Yin Number 19’s eyes were black, deep and restrained. He saw the expressions of these Demon Hunt Squad members and sighed inwardly. Although these children were excellent, they were still too young. It was difficult for them to hide their true thoughts, but that was fine; at least they were genuine.

“Now you should understand what I was saying,” Xia Yin Number 19 said with a smile. “We were all very surprised when we saw this little thing. Temple Master Sheng Yue said that since this thing was obtained by your ten newly promoted Demon Hunt Squads during a mission, our Assassin Temple would never seize it for ourselves, but instead give it to you as a reward.”

As soon as he said this, cheers erupted almost instantly. Everyone knew the function of the Spiritual Stove, especially the Light Element Spiritual Stove, which was the easiest to absorb. No one expected the Assassin Temple to be willing to reward them with such a precious Spiritual Stove. Just as Sheng Yue had predicted, these young people’s goodwill toward the Assassin Temple instantly rose to a whole new level.

“However, there is only one Light Element Spiritual Stove, but at least a third of you can use it. We can’t split it up and give it to you as a reward. Therefore, only one person can receive the reward. This depends on your luck and your understanding of the light element. Now, all those whose attributes are light element, step forward.”

At Xia Yin Number 19’s signal, the knights, priests, and others with light attributes from the ten Demon Hunt Squads stepped forward one after another, each eager to try.

Among them, the most eager and the one who considered himself the most hopeful was Lu Xi, the leader of the Fourth Class Demon Hunt Squad and the only fifth-rank priest.

Compared to knights, priests had a stronger affinity for the light element. They focused on healing and were better at communicating with the light element. Lu Xi was a genius among geniuses in this regard. He believed that his understanding of the light element would not be inferior to anyone present.

Light element sprite, if he could possess it, it would pave the way for him to enter the sixth rank. Even the usually calm Lu Xi’s heart couldn’t help but beat faster. Who else had a stronger affinity for the light element than him? This light element sprite would definitely belong to him!

Everyone who stepped forward had thoughts about the light element sprite. The difference was that those with fourth-rank cultivation were mostly trying their luck, while those with fifth-rank cultivation were full of strong desire and confidence. Besides Lu Xi, almost all the fifth-rank cultivators were from the Knight Temple. Long Haochen, Yang Wenzhao, Duan Yi, Han Yu, and another fifth-rank knight.

Priests, knights, and two light element mages, a total of twenty-three people, stood in a circle around Xia Yin Number 19.

“Everything depends on fate, and you can’t force it. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite.” Xia Yin Number 19’s voice suddenly became cold. He, who had previously been as light as air, was now like a god of death, and the chilling aura that erupted instantly made everyone shiver.

Long Haochen also woke up from his pity for the light element sprite in this murderous intent. He looked up at the small figure struggling under Xia Yin Number 19’s palm not far away, and his brows furrowed.

“You can all release your auras.” A substantial gray aura filled up from Xia Yin Number 19 and quickly spread in the air, forming a layer of cold, chilling murderous intent. Then, he withdrew his palm. The small light element sprite immediately soared into the air.

However, it only flew a few meters before trembling and lowering its altitude, obviously terrified of the sharp murderous intent in the air.

At the same time, the rich light element aura around rose almost simultaneously. Streaks of golden light flashed, and every knight, priest, and mage who had a chance to obtain this light element sprite released their own light element aura with all their might, looking at the little thing with the most eager eyes.

Only Long Haochen was an exception. He didn’t release his inner spiritual power, but just quietly looked at the helpless little thing, his gentle eyes seeming to convey some information to it. His lips moved, and he said something towards the light element sprite.

Yang Wenzhao was standing to Long Haochen’s right, and he clearly saw Long Haochen’s action. The next moment, he was dumbfounded to see that the little light element sprite actually flew towards Long Haochen like a swallow returning to its nest.

A warm smile appeared on Long Haochen’s handsome face as he slowly raised his right hand. The little light element sprite immediately landed in his palm.

Being closer, he could see this little thing even more clearly.

The light element sprite was snow-white, as if carved from the purest white crystal. She wore a milky-white short skirt, revealing her tender arms and slender legs. Her golden hair, like a waterfall, was draped behind her, reaching down to her feet. A pair of transparent wings on either side of her body fluttered gently, preventing her long hair from flying around randomly.

The most distinctive feature was the two pointed little ears that sprouted from her golden hair, which were the characteristics of an elf. And her golden eyes were as clear as Long Haochen’s, except that her eyes were filled with helplessness, weakness, and dimness.

Under the gaze of everyone, the light element sprite lightly landed in Long Haochen’s palm, looking at him, seemingly puzzled and a little dazed.

Lu Xi was surrounded by a thick golden mist, but he was stunned to see the light element sprite falling into Long Haochen’s hands.

How was this possible? He was a knight, and he was a priest! How could his affinity for the light element be stronger than his? The emotion that welled up in his heart was not jealousy, but astonishment. No matter how he looked at it, he should have been the last one with a chance, but the light element sprite hadn’t even looked at him from beginning to end, and almost flew straight towards Long Haochen.

Long Haochen’s gentle eyes were filled with love as he gently touched her golden hair with his finger and whispered, “Don’t worry, I will keep my promise.”

Xia Yin Number 19 smiled slightly and said, “It seems that this little thing has made its choice. This process is fair, and the Assassin Temple does not want any disharmony to occur. Well, my task is also completed. Long Haochen, congratulations.”

Long Haochen looked up at Xia Yin Number 19, bowed respectfully, and said, “Please, Xia Yin, convey my gratitude to the Xia Zhe.”

Xia Yin Number 19 nodded to Long Haochen and turned to leave with the other two Xia Yin assassins, and the murderous intent in the air also faded and disappeared.

Gao Yingjie naturally came to Long Haochen’s side and smiled, “Congratulations, Haochen. Let’s go, I’ll go back to the barracks with you.” As he said this, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally swept around at the others who were gradually becoming jealous. Immediately, he dispelled all those jealous gazes.

Although he knew that these young people could not rob him by force, Gao Yingjie’s presence would naturally avoid some unnecessary trouble. To be guilty of possessing a treasure, Long Haochen had not yet integrated the light element sprite into himself.

Sima Xian laughed, “The leader is the leader, what is ours will still come back to us. This is really like marrying a wife and celebrating the New Year!”

Seeing Long Haochen collect the light element sprite, the previously depressed members of the First Class Demon Hunt Squad suddenly had a one hundred and eighty degree change in mood.

Long Haochen didn’t say anything, and led his partners back to the barracks.

Watching Long Haochen and the others leave, Duan Yi came to Yang Wenzhao’s side and said faintly, “It seems that the distance between us and him is gradually widening.”

Yang Wenzhao sighed softly, “Everyone has different opportunities, and this is not something that can be changed by force. However, we can make the possibility of opportunities appearing greater through our own unremitting efforts.”

Duan Yi smiled, “Well said. It’s better to rely on yourself than to rely on others, and your own strength is the hard truth. Let’s go, we’ll go back too. While we’re on vacation, we can calm down and cultivate.”

Long Haochen and his companions returned to the barracks, and as soon as they entered the door, everyone couldn’t help but cheer.

“Haha, it’s so cool. Did you see the expressions on those other people’s faces? Especially Lu Xi from Fourth Class, his face was so ugly that it was about to drip water.” Sima Xian laughed loudly. He didn’t care at all that the light element sprite hadn’t chosen him. With his fourth-rank cultivation, he didn’t have much of a chance anyway.
