Knight’s sixth-tier skill: Lock-on.

Even someone as powerful as Yang Wenzhao suffered a significant disadvantage under this lock-on skill, let alone Xing Xuan, whose cultivation was inferior to Long Haochen. No matter how strong his dodging ability was, the moment the lock-on skill was completed, the Holy Light Slash instantly turned in the air, chasing after his body and slashing.

For assassins, the most feared thing is the knight’s lock-on skill. Only when an assassin’s cultivation reaches the sixth tier and they learn the stealth skill can they somewhat counter the lock-on skill.

However, this lock-on red light appeared quickly and disappeared quickly as well. It only flickered for a moment before the red light dissipated. Because Xing Xuan was continuously flying horizontally, the Holy Light Slash, without the guidance of the lock-on, could only fly forward, directly hitting the ground.

*Pfft*—The yellow earth suddenly lit up, and then, the other contestants saw a shocking scene. A huge gully, five zhang long and three zhang deep, appeared on the ground, and all the surrounding yellow earth had turned brown, obviously scorched by the light element. A strong light attribute aura was rapidly reverberating within the competition field.

Xing Xuan landed on his feet, his eyes flashing with surprise and uncertainty. Just a moment ago, he thought he was going to heaven. Now, looking back, when he saw the huge gully, his clothes were instantly soaked in sweat. If such a powerful attack had landed on him, probably not even bone fragments would have been left. Undoubtedly, it was Long Haochen who voluntarily released the lock-on that prevented this attack from actually hitting him.

Under extreme shock and tension, he almost blurted out, “I concede, thank you, Brother-in-law, for showing mercy.”

He conceded, which Long Haochen had anticipated, but this address made Long Haochen stunned. Brother-in-law? What brother-in-law?

“Long Haochen wins.” The referee announced Long Haochen’s victory in this match while looking at him with surprise. Even this seventh-tier expert could not see how Long Haochen had found Xing Xuan’s exact location.

Of course, they didn’t know that Long Haochen’s mental power was extraordinary. He couldn’t directly find an assassin using a concealment skill. However, Xing Xuan had started to dodge and hide right in front of him. Long Haochen, relying on his high perception, had kept his mental power following Xing Xuan. He closed his eyes to further concentrate his mind and make an accurate judgment. This was also why he used the accumulating power with such composure.

A fifth-tier knight, this had already filled the other contestants in Group Three with vigilance. In their eyes, Long Haochen had never released his mount! If such a fifth-tier knight had a powerful mount, his strength would definitely reach another level.

The most depressed were those assassins. Lock-on, this Brother-in-law actually possessed the knight’s sixth-tier skill, lock-on, how could they fight? Undoubtedly, they could only compete for the second place in the group.

While Long Haochen was defeating his opponent and winning the first round, the competition in Group Two was also in full swing.

“Second match, Lin Xin, Sima Xian, come to the arena.”

Lin Xin did not recognize the bald priest. He walked towards the center of the trial field while sizing up his opponent.

This is a priest’s robe, but this guy is too strong, isn’t he? Shouldn’t priests be relatively weak?

With a puzzled mind, Lin Xin walked into the field.

Sima Xian was not as nervous as him. This bald priest never knew what fear was. Holding his thick staff, he strode to the center of the arena.

The referee said in a deep voice, “Because priests are not good at attacking, therefore, in the finals, any match involving a priest, as long as the priest can defend for ten minutes without being defeated, it will be considered a victory. The competition begins.”

The most important role of a priest in a team is healing and support. Therefore, competing in combat would obviously be extremely unfair to the priest. That’s why the Demon Hunt Squad selection competition has such regulations.

Lin Xin gave Sima Xian what he thought was the most handsome smile, “Hello, Brother Sima. I am No. 1 from the Magic Temple and also the first place in the Magic Temple’s preliminary round. Why don’t you just concede? Wouldn’t it affect your subsequent matches if I hurt you?”

Mages are recognized as the strongest attackers among the six great temples. Priests fear assassins the most, followed by mages. Lin Xin was telling Sima Xian that his attack was very strong and that he wouldn’t be able to withstand it, so it would be better to concede and avoid embarrassment.

If it were another priest, they might really be intimidated by his title of first place in the Magic Temple’s preliminary round. But would Sima Xian? Although this guy is a priest, he only has violent genes in his heart.

“Concede my ass. I’m still the first place in the Priest Temple’s preliminary round. Here I come.” As he spoke, Sima Xian strode forward, directly charging towards Lin Xin. The light golden gem at the top of his dark staff suddenly lit up, and a strong divine aura spread out, demonstrating his priest attributes.

This guy is really a blockhead, Li Xin cursed inwardly, raising her right hand, and the Fire Cloud Crystal Staff appeared in her grasp. The intense fire element instantly surged, and the viscous fire element turned the air around her body pale red.

Seeing this scene, not only Li Xin was surprised, but even Cai’er frowned because she felt the intense fire element in the air.

The Fire Cloud Crystal pointed forward, and a huge flame shield was born in the air, appearing in front of Lin Xin. This was a second-tier fire shield skill, but used by Lin Xin, this fire shield was as high as one zhang and half a zhang wide, completely blocking his body behind it. The intense fire element instantly made the air in the arena scorching hot.

Sima Xian was also awe-struck, but he did not stop his charge at all. He shouted loudly and smashed his staff directly at the fire shield in front of him.

Isn’t this a priest?

Lin Xin’s eyes widened, and the other contestants watching the battle in Group Three had the same thought.

With a *poof*, the fire shield shook violently, and the hit location was clearly recessed, with many fine cracks appearing around the depression.

Sima Xian’s actions did not stop. The huge staff flew up and down, *boom*, *boom*, *boom*, *boom*… A series of bombardments all hit the fire shield, sparks flew, and it looked like the fire shield couldn’t hold on.

Lin Xin only reacted at this time, cursing inwardly: Damn. The Fire Cloud Crystal was raised again. Without him chanting any incantations, a circle of rich flame halo bloomed out, which was the Repelling Fire Ring. Like the fire shield, his Repelling Fire Ring was at least twice as big as the normal form.

However, at this time, the golden gem at the front of Sima Xian’s staff suddenly lit up, and a circle of white light vibrated out, violently colliding with the Repelling Fire Ring.

Holy Light Burst.

The Repelling Fire Ring and the Holy Light Burst collapsed at the same time, Sima Xian’s staff swept out, *boom*—the fire shield collapsed.

Lin Xin was a fifth-tier mage, and Sima Xian’s cultivation was only fourth-tier, so there was a difference in spiritual power between the two sides. Moreover, Lin Xin’s control over the fire element was extremely strong. At the moment when the fire shield collapsed, another fire shield appeared, and at the same time, he released a Repelling Fire Ring again, which successfully knocked Sima Xian back.

Is this a mistake? Isn’t this guy a warrior? A warrior wearing a priest’s skin.

Lin Xin was speechless for a while, muttering a few incantations in his mouth, and suddenly, six gold-red fireballs shot out. Just when everyone thought he was going to attack, these six gold-red fireballs stopped in six directions around his body, and then slowly rotated around his body. A rich gold-red light shield appeared accordingly.

“Elemental Fire Shield, I see how you can break my defense.” Lin Xin couldn’t help but roared.

Sima Xian curled his lips disdainfully, “The Elemental Fire Shield is bullshit, I can break you the same.” As he said, he shouted loudly, and rushed up again, waving his staff up and down, with the momentum of a cloak. At the same time, a huge Holy Light Hammer would occasionally appear, hitting the Elemental Fire Shield fiercely.

For a time, in the trial field, flames and golden light continued to burst, and intense spiritual power fluctuations continued to vibrate in the field.

“Sister Li Xin, why do I not understand some of this?” Cai’er asked Li Xin slightly blankly.

Li Xin smiled bitterly: “Don’t say you don’t understand, I can’t even understand it. The battle between a mage and a priest is actually the priest attacking and the mage defending. This is really…”

Freak, this is definitely a freak battle. The bald priest Sima Xian waved a staff up and down, like a dragon going out to sea, constantly bombarding Lin Xin’s defense.

Lin Xin was also tenacious, constantly releasing defenses, letting Sima Xian’s attacks fall like rain, I remain unmoved. But he just wouldn’t release any attack skills.

Lin Xin occasionally supplemented a defense with the Fire Cloud Crystal in his hand, somewhat proudly saying: “Bald head, can’t do it anymore? You break my defense? I’ll see how you break it. Humph.”

Sima Xian snorted coldly, “What’s so proud of. I’m attacking you with physical strength, but you’re consuming internal spiritual power. I’ll use up your spiritual power sooner or later, and then I’ll see how you block my attacks.” In fact, he was also wondering, with the strong spiritual power that Lin Xin showed, if he used a few powerful attack magic, he might not be able to block it. Although he was good at attacking, he didn’t know any of the priest’s defensive abilities. However, this guy never attacked, why?

Lin Xin curled his lips disdainfully, opened his left hand, and with a flash of light, a crystal bottle appeared in his hand.

“Want to use up my spiritual power, you’re simply daydreaming. I have medicine. See, each pill in this bottle can restore 200 spiritual power. I’ll see how long your physical strength can last.”

Sima Xian’s eyes widened, “You’re clearly cheating.”

Lin Xin said proudly: “What’s cheating? The competition didn’t say it was forbidden to take medicine. I have medicine, I have medicine, do you have it? What’s more, with your little spiritual power, I’m not even sure if you can force me to take medicine.”——
