Here’s the translation of the provided Traditional Chinese content into English:

At dawn, the golden rays of the morning sun spread across the Holy City, bringing a touch of divine radiance to this most important city of mankind.

The Knight Trial Grounds were bustling again. Many contestants arrived early, and some who knew each other were eagerly discussing everything that had happened yesterday. Whether it was the final battle between Long Haochen and Yang Wenzhao, or the emotional entanglement that followed, they were all topics of discussion. Of course, what was discussed the most was the Divine Throne of Eternity released by Yang Haohan.

The contestants from the Knight Temple were the most pleased. Seeing the Divine Throne of Eternity with their own eyes was a completely different experience from hearing about it from others. The endless pressure of the Divine Throne of Eternity made even Saint Moon of the Assassin Temple, also a ninth-level powerhouse, dare not act rashly. It was a true divine artifact!

Long Haochen, Cai’er, and Li Xin arrived together. When they walked into the venue, the other contestants couldn’t help but fall silent.

The gazes directed at Long Haochen held a degree of admiration. This young man, though not old, dared to challenge the rules of the Alliance and even confront a ninth-level powerhouse. Not everyone possessed such courage. What shocked them even more was that, after doing all that, he was actually fine?

However, some people felt sorry for Long Haochen. He had given up a Spirit Stove! And as the champion, he had the first choice for the three Spirit Stoves awarded. This sacrifice seemed even more regrettable.

After a night’s rest, Lin Xin seemed to have adjusted his mindset, and proactively approached them, “Haochen.”

Long Haochen smiled slightly, extended his right hand, and said, “Brother Lin, from now on, we are teammates.”

Lin Xin flicked his dark green long hair, shook his hand, and said, “Not just teammates, but brothers.”

With a handshake, Long Haochen nodded to him.

Li Xin’s expression didn’t improve when she saw Lin Xin, and she coldly snorted and turned her head away.

If it weren’t for this guy, there wouldn’t have been so much trouble. Lin Xin’s three bottles of pills seemed very valuable back then. However, what he ultimately exchanged for was not only joining Long Haochen’s team, but also costing Long Haochen a Spirit Stove. His pills were a little too valuable.

Lin Xin didn’t mind and led Long Haochen and the others to find seats in the front row.

Before long, the contestants had all arrived. The six vice temple masters of the six great temples also entered the arena slowly and ascended the platform for selecting people yesterday once again.

Han Qian’s emotions seemed to have completely returned to normal. Facing the contestants in the rest area, he said in a deep voice: “Yesterday, the individual competition of the selection competition has ended. Although there were some episodes in the end, on the whole, this League Demon Hunt Squad selection competition went very smoothly, and many outstanding young people emerged from each temple. We are very pleased with this. Before continuing the selection ceremony, I have something to announce.”

The contestants naturally knew what he was going to announce, but they still listened very carefully.

Han Qian said: “In view of the situation that happened yesterday and the request made by this year’s champion Long Haochen, we have submitted a request to the Alliance Master and Vice Alliance Master after discussion. It was finally decided that, starting from this League Demon Hunt Squad selection competition, the top three in each final individual competition can choose to give up the reward and choose one more person to join their Demon Hunt Squad. However, among the two people selected, one cannot be in the top sixteen.”

As soon as these words came out, a wave of discussion started again in the rest area. Long Haochen even vaguely heard some female contestants say: “If someone is willing to give up a Spirit Stove for me, I will marry him.”

Turning his head to look at Cai’er, who had changed into a clean veil, Long Haochen smiled slightly. Compared with Cai’er, what was a Spirit Stove?

Han Qian said: “If everyone has no objections, then our selection ceremony will begin again. Long Haochen, Yang Wenzhao, and Mu Ning, please come on stage. Other contestants, please line up under the guidance of the staff.”

Long Haochen stood up and walked out in large strides. After yesterday’s healing, Yang Wenzhao and Mu Ning looked much better today. The three of them ascended the platform together and came to Han Qian and the other vice temple masters of the six great temples.

Han Qian’s gaze swept over the three of them, eventually settling on Long Haochen.

“Long Haochen, I’ll ask you one more time, do you still insist on yesterday’s two choices and give up the reward of the Spirit Stove?”

Long Haochen nodded without hesitation: “Yes, my choice is still Cai’er and Lin Xin.”

Han Qian nodded and said: “Alright. Cai’er, Lin Xin, step forward. Are you willing to become members of Long Haochen’s team?”

“I am willing,” Lin Xin and Cai’er answered almost in unison.

Under the guidance of the staff, Cai’er and Lin Xin were led to the front of the platform, and the two stood in the first row.

Han Qian turned his gaze to Yang Wenzhao, “Yang Wenzhao, the second place in the individual competition, you can also make your choice.”

Yang Wenzhao’s gaze turned to the contestants below, eventually settling on a smaller figure. Without hesitation, he said: “The partner I choose is Chen Ying’er of the Soul Temple.”

Exclamations immediately rose and fell below. Even the vice temple masters revealed some doubt, only Han Qian’s eyes flashed with a hint of understanding.

Many people were wondering what was wrong with these two guys from the Knight Temple. Who was Chen Ying’er? At least she was definitely not one of the top sixteen. With such a precious opportunity to choose a person, this Star Shine Unicorn Knight actually chose someone outside the top sixteen. Judging from the name, she was also a girl. Did the Knight Temple specialize in love seeds?

Han Qian looked at the petite Chen Ying’er, “Chen Ying’er, are you willing to become a member of Yang Wenzhao’s team?”

Chen Ying’er glanced at Yang Wenzhao on the stage, then suddenly turned her head away and said in a somewhat shrill voice: “I am not willing.”

Boom——The whole place was in an uproar again.

The faces of the vice temple masters of the six great temples became extremely interesting. The one with the most ugly face was San Shui, who suppressed his anger and didn’t say anything.

Han Qian’s face sank slightly and said, “Chen Ying’er, are you sure?”

Chen Ying’er said without hesitation: “I am sure, who wants to be in a Demon Hunt Squad with him.”

Many female contestants looked at her with jealousy and incomprehension. Although Long Haochen won the final championship in this competition, the one who attracted the most female contestants was Yang Wenzhao.

First of all, the age. Although Long Haochen was excellent and even more handsome, he looked too young after all. For those girls in their twenties, it was impossible to have any thoughts about him. Secondly, it was naturally because of the relationship between him and Cai’er. They were so affectionate and inseparable. Where else would others have a chance?

But Yang Wenzhao was different, not only was his age suitable, but he was also powerful and had such a beautiful mount as the Star Shine Unicorn. It can be said that he was the ideal partner choice in the hearts of most female contestants. Now, hearing that Yang Wenzhao chose Chen Ying’er, it was obviously not because of her strength.

Han Qian turned to Yang Wenzhao and said, “Chen Ying’er is unwilling to join your team, you can choose again.”

Yang Wenzhao’s expression was indeed a bit depressed. Ying’er, ah Ying’er, what are you doing! But what could he do if Chen Ying’er didn’t cooperate with him? Even if he wanted to do something like Long Haochen, the girl had to be interested in him.

Sighing inwardly, after hesitating for a moment, Yang Wenzhao said: “I choose Huang Yi of the Magic Temple.”

Han Qian nodded and said: “Huang Yi, are you willing to become a member of Yang Wenzhao’s team?”

Huang Yi, standing in the front row, answered without hesitation: “I am willing.” Although Yang Wenzhao was a punitive knight, not a guardian knight, everyone could see his strength very clearly. And Huang Yi, as an earth-based mage, was especially good at defense, and it was naturally a good match to cooperate with him, so why wouldn’t he be willing?

Han Qian’s gaze finally fell on Mu Ning, “Mu Ning, the third place in the individual competition, what is your choice?”

Mu Ning blurted out: “I choose Duan Yi of the Knight Temple and am willing to give him the position of leader.”

He had planned this choice as early as yesterday. Long Haochen and Yang Wenzhao in front of him were both knights, so naturally he couldn’t choose another knight to join his team. If anyone had the best luck in this competition, then without a doubt, he would be elected.

Duan Yi’s strength was no less than Long Haochen’s and Yang Wenzhao’s. He was powerful and, moreover, a guardian knight who possessed a golden-horned mammoth mount. Being able to be in a group with him was obviously the best choice. Therefore, Mu Ning even gave up the position of leader in order to win Duan Yi’s consent. In terms of strength, he admitted that he was not as good as Duan Yi, and this third place of his was just picked up, so everything had to pave the way for everything in the Demon Hunt Squad in the future.

For this smart choice, Han Qian couldn’t help but nod slightly, and looked at Duan Yi in the first row below, “Duan Yi, are you willing?”

Duan Yi looked at Mu Ning, and Mu Ning was also looking at him, his eyes full of sincerity.

“I am willing.” Although he didn’t enter the top three, being selected was also a kind of honor, not to mention that the other party gave up the position of leader to him.

In addition to obtaining the Spirit Stove reward, the biggest benefit of the top three in the Demon Hunt Squad selection competition was to form a team first. Of course, luck would also play a certain role.

After completing the direct selection ceremony, the roulette was about to come into play. The whole place was silent, but excitement and anticipation were revealed in the eyes of every contestant.

Everyone hoped to be able to enter the teams of the top three in the individual competition. The stronger the team members, the higher the safety when completing tasks would naturally be. And the team that received the most attention was Long Haochen’s, followed by the third team where Duan Yi and Mu Ning were located, and finally Yang Wenzhao’s.
