As he spoke, he took out something resembling a bracelet and pointed it towards the ground near Long Haochen. Immediately, a flash of light appeared, and several pieces of equipment materialized there.

Undoubtedly, this bracelet had a similar function to the Ring of Forgetfulness. Although such storage bracelets were rare, Han Qian, as the Knight Temple’s Holy Knight Commander, naturally possessed one, which was not surprising.

Equipment?

Having lost something makes one appreciate it more. Long Haochen had previously lost all his equipment, and he deeply understood the helplessness of that situation. Upon hearing that there was equipment available, his eyes lit up immediately, and he eagerly looked at the equipment.

It was a set of full body armor, a sword, and a shield.

All three pieces of equipment were silver in color and emitted a faint aura of light. They felt like they were at the same level as his previous armor and lightsaber, perhaps slightly stronger at most.

However, even so, Long Haochen was greatly surprised. After losing his shield and lightsaber, he had inquired about the prices of magical equipment, each costing thousands of gold coins, making them prohibitive. He would be satisfied to assemble a complete set.

Ye Hua smiled slightly and said, “This set of equipment is called the Holy Spirit Set, consisting of the Holy Spirit Armor, Holy Spirit Shield, and Holy Spirit Sword. Individually, they are all magical equipment level. But their strength lies in being a set. When combined, they generate the Holy Spirit Aura. You can control the aura to aid your allies. The aura covers a diameter of twenty meters. It can form a layer of Holy Spirit protection on the body, with defensive power comparable to the Holy Light Barrier. Maintaining this aura consumes five units of spiritual power per breath. It’s a very good set of Guardian Knight equipment and is quite useful for the team. Therefore, this set, when combined, is equivalent to spiritual-demonic level equipment. It’s even better than the Spiritual Light Wristband your teacher gave you.”

“That’s great!” Long Haochen excitedly crouched down, first putting the Holy Spirit Sword and Holy Spirit Shield into the Ring of Forgetfulness, and then unceremoniously putting on the Holy Spirit Armor.

A faint smile appeared on Ye Hua’s face. This child was truly of pure character, not disdaining the equipment just because it was a magical-level set given by the Holy Knight Commander. The excitement in his eyes was genuine.

“Teacher, when you see Grandmaster, please thank him for me. I will definitely use this equipment to win glory for our Knight Temple.”

Long Haochen was already handsome, and wearing this silver armor made him even more heroic. This Holy Spirit Armor was lightweight and of better quality than his original armor. It also had a helmet that could cover his face, providing more comprehensive protection.

Ye Hua patted him on the shoulder and said, “Alright, go to the Holy Alliance Grand Trial Arena with your Sister Xin’er. The elimination round starts today. Everyone only has one chance. Teacher wishes you a good start and success. Strive to be in the top three.”

“Mission guaranteed!” Long Haochen punched his chest with his right fist and gave Ye Hua a standard Knight salute.

After he said this, the master and disciple couldn’t help but laugh. On the other side, Haoyue, who had taken over Long Haochen’s bed, slowly raised his three large heads, shook his body, and the heavy body made the bed creak.

“You’ll get your share,” Long Haochen said to him with a chuckle.

Having received the new armor, Long Haochen was quite excited, even wearing the armor to breakfast. After eating and drinking his fill, under Ye Hua’s watchful eye, he went to the Holy Alliance Grand Trial Arena with Li Xin. As for his squire, he was not qualified to watch the battle, so Long Haochen had Han Yu stay at the hotel to cultivate.

“Sister, how has Cai’er been these past few days? Is she still angry with me?” Long Haochen asked Li Xin.

Li Xin chuckled and said, “Look at how cautious you are. You haven’t even confirmed the relationship yet, and you’re already so nervous about her. You’ll definitely be henpecked in the future.”

Long Haochen’s face turned red, and he quickly defended, “Sister, we’re just ordinary friends!”

Li Xin smiled and said, “Okay, okay, ordinary friends, right? Then go inquire about her situation yourself.”

Long Haochen became a little anxious and grabbed Li Xin’s arm, saying, “Sister, I was wrong. Please tell me.”

Li Xin glared at him and said, “You’ve been exposed, haven’t you? Okay, okay, I guarantee you’ll see her today.”

No matter how much Long Haochen asked, Li Xin refused to say when he could see Cai’er. Before long, the siblings arrived at the Holy Alliance Grand Trial Arena again.

The top sixteen finals were held in the Knight Trial Arena. All participants who entered the top sixty could come to watch the battle. The two had just arrived at the door when they bumped into acquaintances.

Two men happened to be walking from not far away, checking their participation numbers at the entrance. It was Yang Wenzhao and Huang Yi. It seemed that the two had known each other for a long time.

“Brother Yang, Brother Huang, hello.” Although they were competitors, everyone already knew each other. After Long Haochen and Li Xin walked up, he took the initiative to greet them.

When Yang Wenzhao saw him, his face suddenly changed, and he said with a bitter face, “I’m not doing very well! I’m just hoping that I don’t draw you when we draw lots.” After saying that, he hurriedly went in.

Looking at his ghostly appearance, Long Haochen couldn’t help but be stunned. What was wrong with him? Was this still the strong man who defeated him without a mount that day? Could it be that he didn’t have the confidence to face me?

Yang Wenzhao was naturally not afraid of him. If it was a head-on confrontation, he even had the confidence to fight Cai’er. But the most powerful aspect of an assassin was obviously not on the frontal battlefield. He really didn’t want to be targeted by an assassin of Cai’er’s level. Especially since his grandfather didn’t even investigate what happened that day, it was conceivable how amazing the background of that assassin girl was.

Huang Yi was much better when he saw Long Haochen, greeting him with a smile.

“Brother Huang, I had something to do and didn’t go to the competition that day. Who came out on top in the end between you and Wang Yuanyuan?” Long Haochen asked curiously.

Huang Yi said somewhat proudly, “Just barely, just barely. Wang Yuanyuan’s strength is indeed very strong. I definitely wouldn’t be her opponent in a head-on collision, so I used a trick. My elf partner and I jointly cast a spell, taking advantage of the moment when she installed the gem and activated the Giant Spiritual God Shield, we completed the Earth Wave Technique. It’s really not very glorious to talk about it. I relied on the Earth Wave Technique to run away the entire match. In the end, I exhausted her spiritual power to barely win. I also have to thank you. If she hadn’t used the Giant Spiritual God Shield, which consumes a lot of energy, at the beginning, I really wouldn’t know who would have won in a normal competition.”

After hearing what he said, Long Haochen understood that Huang Yi had taken advantage of Wang Yuanyuan’s habitual thinking. That girl’s strength was indeed powerful. Long Haochen also felt it was a pity that she didn’t make it into the top sixteen.

“Hmph! Shameless.” Just as they were talking, an angry voice came from behind. When the two turned around, wasn’t it Wang Yuanyuan? Chen Ying’er was also with her.

Chen Ying’er’s expression was not very good either. The little loli walked a few steps quickly to Long Haochen and showed him her small fist, “Do you look down on me? You didn’t even come to the last match.”

Long Haochen said helplessly, “Of course not, I happened to have something to do that day. I apologize to you.”

Chen Ying’er stuck out her tongue at him. Before she could say anything else, Wang Yuanyuan, who was full of anger and almost killed Huang Yi with her eyes, grabbed her hand and walked into the trial arena. Obviously, after the preliminary competition, these two girls had formed a good friendship.

Huang Yi looked at the Giant Spiritual God Shield slung behind Wang Yuanyuan with lingering fear, and shook his head helplessly, saying, “I just hope that I don’t get drawn into a group with this girl when it comes to the Demon Hunt Squad roulette. A shield warrior who can’t defend, and so impulsive. I’m really afraid of her.”

Li Xin patted Long Haochen on the shoulder and said, “Let’s go in. It’s getting late.”

“Wait for me–” A hurried call sounded. When the siblings turned around, they ran into another acquaintance. It was none other than that bizarre, non-attacking magician, Lin Xin.

“Congratulations, congratulations. Congratulations to both of you for entering the top sixteen at the same time.” Lin Xin ran over with a smile on his face.

Li Xin didn’t have a good face for him, saying, “What’s there to congratulate? We can’t afford your congratulations.”

Lin Xin was stunned, and said with a smile, “What’s wrong, Sister Li Xin? I didn’t do anything!”

Li Xin said angrily, “You haven’t done anything? You can’t even cast an attacking spell, and you actually tricked my brother into promising to choose you to join the team if he enters the top three. Don’t you know the importance of a powerful magician to the team?”

As soon as she said this, Huang Yi on the side widened his eyes first. “What? You can’t cast attacking magic?” He grabbed Lin Xin, and his face was even uglier than Li Xin’s.

Lin Xin slapped his hand away, “What’s wrong with not knowing attacking magic? I have medicine.”

In the beginning, he relied on his strong control over magic, coupled with the medicine, to bribe Huang Yi, which is how he got the first place in the magician temple’s preliminary competition.

At this time, when Huang Yi heard that he couldn’t attack, it would be strange if his face looked good.

Long Haochen pulled Li Xin, who still wanted to argue with Lin Xin, and said calmly, “Sister, don’t be like this. If it wasn’t because of something, Lin Xin wouldn’t have given me the medicine back then. His medicine helped me a lot, and I should thank him. Brother Lin, don’t worry, if I enter the top three, I will definitely keep my promise.”

“What about Cai’er?” Li Xin blurted out almost instinctively.

Long Haochen was stunned, yes! Cai’er, Cai’er also entered the top sixty. In an instant, his face turned pale. If he entered the top three, but could only choose Lin Xin, what about Cai’er?

He remembered the promise he made not long ago very clearly, I promised to protect her for the rest of my life.

Lin Xin looked at Long Haochen, who was a little lost, and his heart sank suddenly. A slightly helpless wry smile appeared on his face. He shook his head gently, but didn’t say anything more, patted Long Haochen on the shoulder and walked in. Thinking of that girl, although strong, but unable to see, he felt that he couldn’t say anything.
