Chapter 155: Dragon Haochen's Demon Hunt Squad (II) | Throne Of Seal [Trans]
Throne Of Seal [Trans] - Updated on March 13, 2025
In this situation, the advantage of a Guardian Knight over a Retribution Knight became apparent, and Long Hao Chen’s greatest advantage was naturally his Holy Attract Spiritual Stove. The Holy Attract Spiritual Stove was far less ranked than the Star Sea Spiritual Stove, lacking practical offensive and defensive capabilities. However, its attractiveness to team members was immense.
“Now, let’s begin assembling the first Demon Hunt Squad of this selection competition. Long Hao Chen, step forward and spin the roulette. Your Demon Hunt Squad will tentatively be called Demon Hunt Squad Number One.”
“Yes,” Long Hao Chen seemed especially obedient today, responding respectfully and stepping up to the roulette.
Dedicated staff members operated the roulette, and gradually, ten names appeared on it.
Han Qian said, “First round, select the warrior member for the team.” A staff member handed Long Hao Chen a crimson bead radiating a faint light.
The roulette in front of them began to spin violently, and the ten names vanished instantly. All Long Hao Chen could see was a ring of light.
Following the staff member’s instructions, Long Hao Chen slowly placed his hand holding the crimson bead onto the roulette. He released his fingers, and immediately, the crimson bead fell into the rapidly spinning roulette.
Violent bounces accompanied by crisp sounds echoed, and the dense collisions tugged at the hearts of all the participants present. Especially the ten warriors, who were feeling extraordinarily nervous.
Roulette selection for team formation differed from previous designated selections. Once selected by the roulette, one had to join the team unless they chose to give up being a member of a Demon Hunt Squad. Abandoning the team after being selected by the roulette would even result in being barred from participating in future Demon Hunt Squad selection competitions. This was known as the authority of the roulette in the Demon Hunt Squad selection competition.
The speed of the light circle gradually decreased, and the ten names became clearer as the roulette slowed down.
The Vice Temple Masters of the Six Great Temples were all staring at the roulette. At this moment, anyone who dared to play tricks and attempt to interfere with the fairness of the roulette would immediately face the wrath of these six eighth-rank peak powerhouses.
Finally, the roulette slowed down completely, and the crimson light sphere could be clearly seen bouncing slowly. One name after another flashed past as it bounced, eventually coming to a stop.
It stopped.
Long Hao Chen’s eyes widened, and he immediately saw the name clearly. After a slight pause, a clear look of joy appeared in his eyes. Clearly, he had good luck and selected an excellent warrior.
“Demon Hunt Squad Number One, Warrior, Wang Yuan Yuan, step forward,” Han Qian announced the list selected by the roulette.
Wang Yuan Yuan, who was standing in the second row dragging her huge shield, was taken aback for a moment before walking out excitedly. It seemed like she had good luck!
Watching Wang Yuan Yuan stride out, Long Hao Chen, at Han Qian’s signal, went to meet her, extending his hand and saying, “Welcome to the team.”
Wang Yuan Yuan restrained the joy in her eyes and slapped his palm, “You got lucky last time and won against me. I’ll find a chance to spar with you again in the future.”
Long Hao Chen chuckled and said, “Alright!”
Wang Yuan Yuan dragged her Giant Spirit Shield and stood behind Lin Xin, unable to suppress the smile on her face. Although she was a shield warrior, she didn’t specialize in defense. Long Hao Chen was a Guardian/Retribution dual-attribute Knight with the Holy Attract Spiritual Stove and had won the final individual competition. More importantly, through several encounters and yesterday’s scene, Wang Yuan Yuan saw his loyal and righteous nature. Although he was a bit young, it was clearly a great thing to be in a team with such a Knight. Not to mention Cai’er, this year’s top assassin, and possibly the strongest competitor. As for a certain mage, she simply filtered him out.
Long Hao Chen was equally satisfied. The disadvantage of warriors in the Demon Hunt Squad selection competition was second only to that of priests. Although Wang Yuan Yuan didn’t make it into the top sixteen, she had already broken through the fifth rank. But Long Hao Chen had fought her before and had a deep understanding of this girl’s strength. He faintly felt that Wang Yuan Yuan, with the Giant Spirit Shield, should be the strongest warrior in this competition. In his team, although Lin Xin couldn’t attack, all four of them had fifth-rank cultivation. And three of them were actually the strongest members of their respective temples in this competition.
Returning to the back of the roulette, Han Qian said, “Select the priest member for the team.”
Ten names appeared on the roulette again, and following the same procedure as before, the crimson bead was once again placed in Long Hao Chen’s hand.
Hopefully, we’ll get an excellent priest. Long Hao Chen didn’t think he knew much about priests, but he figured that the priests who made it into the top ten should be decent, so he didn’t pay too much attention.
The priests couldn’t help but feel nervous. Among the priests in the top ten, only three were male, and the rest were female, all of them with beautiful faces and excelling in different areas. At this moment, some priestesses were even thinking to themselves, as long as he’s not married, I might have a chance.
Only one person was an exception. Touching his bald head, Sima Xian watched the platform with indifference. Only one in ten chance, what’s there to be nervous about, what are the odds? Besides, it doesn’t matter who I’m on a team with. If the other team members are a little weaker, I might even become the team leader.
The roulette stopped, and Long Hao Chen, standing behind the roulette, clearly showed a look of astonishment.
Han Qian’s voice rang out, “Demon Hunt Squad Number One, Priest, Sima Xian, step forward.”
“Huh? Is it me?” Sima Xian almost jumped up, pointing at his nose.
Everyone’s gazes fell on him, looking at his shiny bald head and the powerful muscles hidden under his wide priest robe, their expressions couldn’t help but become strange.
This, this is a priest?
Sima Xian strode out. Although Long Hao Chen was a little astonished, he still hurried to greet him. In fact, deep down, he least wanted to select Sima Xian. The Demon Hunt Squad already had no shortage of attackers, and a priest who specialized in healing was the most important. But things wouldn’t always go smoothly, and he had been drawn with just a ten percent chance. A violent priest meant that there wouldn’t be a dedicated healing profession in the team.
“Welcome to the team,” Long Hao Chen extended his hand to Sima Xian.
Sima Xian used his large hand, which was at least two sizes bigger than Long Hao Chen’s, to envelop Long Hao Chen’s palm, and chuckled, “I haven’t had a chance to repay your kindness from last time. Being on a team with you isn’t bad.”
After speaking, he touched his bald head again, carried his terrifyingly heavy staff, and strode to stand behind Wang Yuan Yuan.
Looking at him, Long Hao Chen secretly comforted himself, “No matter what, he is the strongest among the priests. Yes! And which other priest can go berserk…”
There was one last person left, the Summoner from the Soul Temple.
“Select the Summoner member for the team,” Han Qian looked at Sima Xian, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
The roulette turned for the third time. Considering his “good luck” when selecting the priest, Long Hao Chen deliberately paused for a moment before placing the crimson bead into the roulette.
A moment later, the roulette gradually stopped. When the crimson bead finally came to a halt, not only was Long Hao Chen stunned, but even the six Vice Temple Masters and Yang Wen Zhao and Mu Ning on the side of the roulette were stunned.
If one were to pick the most famous participant in this year’s Demon Hunt Squad selection competition, it wouldn’t be Long Hao Chen, nor would it be Yang Wen Zhao, or even the strong Cai’er, the bizarre bald priest, or Wang Yuan Yuan who used her shield as a battle axe.
The only one who could be known to everyone, even the higher-ups of the Six Great Temples, was Chen Ying’er, the loli summoner who only appeared once in the preliminary competition, scaring the Soul Temple so much that no one dared to compete with her, won first place in the Soul Temple’s preliminary competition, and then displayed her completely luck-based, absolutely unreliable, and absolutely uncertain bizarre Random Summoning Gate summoning technique.
And at this moment, the bright and eye-catching crimson bead was stopped right in front of this name.
The Spirit Emperor of Three Waters’ expression instantly became strange. He looked at Long Hao Chen, then at Yang Wen Zhao, sighed heavily, and retracted his gaze.
Long Hao Chen’s lips twitched. Could it be that his luck had really run out? How could it be her! He still clearly remembered the little lamb that Chen Ying’er summoned when facing Wang Yuan Yuan. Not only was this girl’s summoning random, but she only had the ability to summon the Summoning Gate once with all her spiritual power.
At this moment, Long Hao Chen’s only thought was that this roulette was truly fair… Han Qian’s expression instantly returned to normal, and he announced in a deep voice, “Demon Hunt Squad Number One, Summoner, Chen Ying’er, step forward.”
Chen Ying’er jumped up happily and giggled, “Wow, that’s great, I can continue to be with Sister Yuan Yuan.”
She ran out quickly, only waving at Long Hao Chen and not even shaking his hand, before running to Wang Yuan Yuan’s side.
Wang Yuan Yuan’s expression also drooped when she heard Han Qian’s announcement. Looking at Chen Ying’er running over excitedly, she said helplessly, “I don’t want to be on a team with you! You little girl are simply a drag on the battlefield.”
Chen Ying’er didn’t mind, shaking Wang Yuan Yuan’s hand back and forth, “Sister Yuan Yuan, you can’t dislike me. Sometimes I’m very powerful too.”
On the stage, Han Qian announced, “Demon Hunt Squad Number One, Team Leader, Long Hao Chen, Knight. Assassin, Cai’er; Warrior, Wang Yuan Yuan; Mage, Lin Xin; Priest, Sima Xian; Summoner, Chen Ying’er. Team assembled.”
From this moment on, Long Hao Chen and the other five became a team. Unless someone died, it would continue until they ended their Demon Hunt Squad careers.
