Bathed in radiant light, spiritual power surged back. Long Haochen, with Little Light’s support, felt his nearly depleted spiritual power slowly recover. However, Hao Yue had already reached his opponent.

The Snowshadow Leopard tried to resist, but a blast of Little Fire’s fierce flames pinned it down, and Little Green ruthlessly bit its neck.

Looking at Long Haochen, the faltering Liao Yu sighed, “I lost.”

Long Haochen asked, “I’m curious, what kind of magic beast were you trying to summon just now? Its power was so immense.”

Liao Yu didn’t hide anything. Although he was unwilling to lose, he greatly admired Long Haochen’s strength. That final sword strike wasn’t just about timing. Without sufficient power, it wouldn’t have been able to break the cloud of summoning.

“It was a Savage Vermilion Bird, a variant of the tenth-level divine beast, the Phoenix. Although I can only summon it to unleash a single strike, that strike’s power is comparable to an eighth-level magic beast. That’s equivalent to the attack of a seventh-rank professional. If the summoning had succeeded, the tables would have been turned.”

Long Haochen’s heart jolted. He thought to himself, those who could reach this stage in the selection competition were indeed not easy to deal with. If he had completed the summoning, he wouldn’t just have lost, he would probably have been seriously injured. How easy would it be to withstand an eighth-level magic beast’s attack?

“Long Haochen wins.”

While they were talking, the Snowshadow Leopard had already collapsed, its head bitten off by Little Green. What chance did a fourth-level magic beast have against a sixth-level one?

Long Haochen jumped down and helped Liao Yu, who was barely able to stand. “It seems my tactical choice was flawed. I shouldn’t have used accumulated power against you.”

Liao Yu said frankly, “I didn’t expect you to possess a Holy Attraction Spiritual Furnace. And if I’m not mistaken, your Holy Attraction Spiritual Furnace should have evolved once. If possible, I sincerely hope to be grouped with you in the Demon Hunt Squad assignment the day after tomorrow.”

Long Haochen chuckled and said, “I hope so too.” Without a doubt, Liao Yu was the number one from the Soul Shrine in this Demon Hunt Squad selection competition. It would be a great thing to be on a team with him. Thinking of this, Long Haochen couldn’t help but think of Chen Ying’er, who had questioned him this morning. Compared to that unreliable summoning girl, Liao Yu was obviously much more outstanding.

The staff quickly entered the arena and helped Liao Yu out. Naturally, people from the Priest Shrine would treat him.

After returning Hao Yue, Long Haochen strode towards the resting area, his fists clenched. He had entered the top four, only one step away from the top three. Only two battles away from first place.

The second match was between the Assassin Shrine and the Warrior Shrine contestants, the two lucky ones who drew byes.

However, drawing a bye didn’t mean their battle would be easy. On the contrary, this was the most brutal battle of the entire knockout stage so far.

In terms of cultivation, the advancing contestant from the Warrior Shrine was stronger, having already broken through the fifth rank. The one from the Assassin Shrine, however, was at the peak of the fourth rank. There was originally a qualitative difference between them.

However, the assassin from the Assassin Shrine who could enter the top eight was also quite formidable. Possessing three secret techniques, he used the rising pillars in the arena as cover to engage in a grueling battle.

The entire battle lasted for nearly half an hour. In the end, relying on his astonishing willpower, the assassin used himself as bait, and while the opponent’s heavy sword was cleaving into his shoulder blade, he instantly counterattacked, piercing the armor at the opponent’s throat. One sword to seal the throat.

Of course, he didn’t actually kill his opponent, but at the cost of serious injury, he ultimately won this battle. If one were to summarize the secret to his victory, it would be the word “patience.” He was suppressed from beginning to end, but in the end, he won with a counter-attack. He defeated a fifth-rank opponent with his weaker strength, bravely advancing to the top four.

This match made Ying Suifeng on the rostrum nod repeatedly, and he decided to nurture this assassin after this selection competition.

The third match was the Knight Shrine’s internal battle.

Before standing up and walking towards the arena, Yang Wenzhao deliberately looked at Long Haochen. At this time, his face was very calm, his mind at peace.

Before Long Haochen appeared, he had always been hailed as the most talented of the younger generation in the Knight Shrine. This talent was not only reflected in his strength but also in his mindset.

Long Haochen and Cai’er’s strength had completely ignited Yang Wenzhao’s fighting spirit. No matter who his opponent was in the next top four battle, he would do his best to fight with them.

Yang Wenzhao’s opponent was a very low-key knight, with ordinary features and nothing outstanding, but he was unusually calm. He looked a bit older than Yang Wenzhao.

“Knight Shrine, Yang Wenzhao, against Knight Shrine, Duan Yi, both sides prepare.”

“Begin the match.”

During the Knight Shrine’s preliminary round, Long Haochen was defeated by Yang Wenzhao, while Yang Wenzhao was severely injured by Cai’er and was unable to continue the competition. Duan Yi was the first place finisher in the Knight Shrine’s preliminary round. His strength was naturally extraordinary.

With the referee’s announcement, both summoned their mounts without hesitation. Both were fifth-rank, so in addition to comparing their own strength, they also compared the strength of their mounts. Just like Long Haochen going all out, Yang Wenzhao no longer held anything back.

Today, Yang Wenzhao was also wearing silver-white armor, only slightly different from Long Haochen’s, and he still wielded that pair of golden heavy swords.

Unlike him, Duan Yi’s armor was black, and his shield and heavy sword were also black. This was very rare among knights. Moreover, Duan Yi’s weapons and equipment were much heavier than normal equipment.

Long Haochen had already returned to Cai’er’s side and was intently watching the battle before him. He had never seen Yang Wenzhao’s mount before, so he could observe it through this battle. Perhaps because Yang Wenzhao had once defeated him, he somewhat hoped that Yang Wenzhao would be able to defeat his opponent.

The golden heavy swords drew strange rays of light in front of him, and a six-pointed star golden magic array bloomed in front of Yang Wenzhao.

“Neigh–” Accompanied by a long neigh, amidst exclamations from the resting area, a unicorn was presented before everyone.

It was snow-white, with golden mane on its neck, and a spiral-shaped golden horn proudly stood on its head. It had a pair of huge wings, with golden feathers on the outermost ring of its white wings. Circles of golden halos radiated from under its body.

It actually, actually was a Starlight Unicorn.

Long Haochen had personally seen the beauty of this unicorn and had even been rejected by the King of the Starlight Unicorns, and he had a very deep memory of this unicorn, which was known as the most noble. He really didn’t expect that Yang Wenzhao’s mount would be a Starlight Unicorn.

The Starlight Unicorn in front of him was ten feet long and about eight feet tall, and the pair of white wings on its back slowly opened. Although it was not yet an adult, it was still so magnificent.

It should be known that the Starlight Unicorn is known as the ideal mount for knights. Although adult Starlight Unicorns are eighth-level magic beasts, because they have a very high degree of compatibility with knights, even some ninth-level magic beast mounts may not be comparable to them. This also meant that Yang Wenzhao was a Sky Knight.

Boom.

Just as Long Haochen was marveling at the Starlight Unicorn, on the other side, Duan Yi had also completed the summoning of his mount.

Duan Yi’s mount was far less handsome and dazzling than the Starlight Unicorn, but its size was much more terrifying.

The huge body was more than two zhang tall and more than three zhang long. The thick limbs were like four giant pillars. Long brown-red hair hung down, and two huge tusks protruded from its mouth. The most peculiar thing was that there was a golden-red horn above its head.

This is… a Golden Horn Mammoth, a light and fire dual-attribute eighth-level peak magic beast. Oh, no, this Golden Horn Mammoth is also not yet an adult. Adult Golden Horn Mammoths are probably twice as big. But even so, this terrifying magic beast is probably around the sixth-level peak or seventh level. Its aura is even above the Starlight Unicorn opposite it.

During yesterday’s knockout rounds, neither Long Haochen, Yang Wenzhao, nor Duan Yi had released their mounts. Today, after they released their respective mounts for the competition, the rostrum was silent.

Although the other five major shrines were somewhat unwilling to admit it, they all understood. The Knight Shrine’s ranking first was indeed well-deserved.

The younger generation of knights is not just one person who is strong!

Whether it was Long Haochen, Yang Wenzhao, or Duan Yi, they could all be said to be genius knights. There was even Han Yu, who was eliminated by Long Haochen in the preliminary round due to his pride, who was also a fifth-rank knight. There was even another fifth-rank knight who was eliminated in yesterday’s competition. Even Li Xin, the female knight with the Rose Unicorn, had entered the top sixteen of this competition.

If it weren’t for the bad luck of the draw, perhaps tomorrow’s top four would become a one-man show for the Knight Shrine.

Yang Wenzhao stepped forward and leaped onto the Starlight Unicorn. On the other side, the Golden Horn Mammoth was really a bit tall, and it was a bit unrealistic to jump on it. However, Duan Yi also had his own way. The Golden Horn Mammoth raised a front hoof, and after Duan Yi leaped up, he first stepped on this front hoof, borrowed strength to leap up again, and successfully rode on the Golden Horn Mammoth’s thick neck.

The Starlight Unicorn took a few steps to run up, and its wings spread out and glided. Faint golden halos constantly spread from under its feet, noble, elegant, dazzling, and magnificent.

Seeing the Starlight Unicorn soaring into the air, Long Haochen heard a chorus of praise behind him. And Yang Wenzhao, riding on the back of the Starlight Unicorn, was even more full of the aura of a Prince Charming.

However, not everyone was praising him, at least there was one exception.

Chen Yinger sat next to Wang Yuanyuan, looked at Yang Wenzhao in the air, and curled her lips: “Show-off.”
