Long Haochen calmly said, “Are there many people betting against me?”

Yang Wenzhao said, “Quite a few. No one is optimistic about you. The vast majority are betting on the fifth member of the eighth Demon Hunt Squad. That guy is trying to earn merits, and he’ll probably be here soon. How many merits did you bet? Why does he need to borrow some?”

Long Haochen smiled, revealing a row of white teeth, “Ten thousand.”

“What?” Not only Yang Wenzhao, but even the usually calm Duan Yi couldn’t help but exclaim.

“You’re crazy! How much effort will it take us to earn ten thousand merits? You should think about your partners, even if you don’t think about yourself!”

Yang Wenzhao’s words even carried a hint of reproach.

“Is it your business how much our captain bets? We’re willing, and we’re not afraid of losing,” Chen Ying’er’s sarcastic voice chimed in.

Yang Wenzhao looked at her and said in a deep voice, “Ying’er, don’t make trouble. I’m talking business with Brother Long.”

Chen Ying’er made a face at him and said, “What business? Look at how stingy you are, only betting a hundred merits, you’re even embarrassed to show it, aren’t you?”

Seeing Yang Wenzhao’s face turn a bit ugly, Long Haochen gave Chen Ying’er a look, “Brother Yang, don’t worry, I wouldn’t bet so much if I wasn’t confident.”

Duan Yi on the other side suddenly stood up and turned to leave.

Yang Wenzhao asked in confusion, “Brother Duan, where are you going? That guy should be here soon. We should at least show some support for Haochen, right?”

Duan Yi glanced at him and said, “I’m going to add to my bet on Haochen.” With that, he turned and quickly left.

After a brief moment of surprise, Yang Wenzhao immediately realized what was happening. He gave Long Haochen a deep look, then abruptly stood up and ran out, even faster than Duan Yi.

They were both smart men. Duan Yi understood, so how could he not? Who was Long Haochen? He overpowered them both in the Demon Hunt Squad selection competition. In the subsequent team competition, he strategized and led the first Soldier-rank Demon Hunt Squad to victory. Would he do something he wasn’t sure about? Betting ten thousand merits, what did that mean?

The odds were one to thirty! If Long Haochen won… More and more people were entering the Knight Training Ground. In just a short time, at least fifty people had poured in. And the number was still increasing. Without exception, these people were all Demon Hunters.

The third, fifth, and sixth members of the eighth General-rank Demon Hunt Squad arrived together. They had also heard about the betting pool. But they didn’t take it to heart, earning merits was a good thing, even if they shared some with others.

Lin Xin and Lu Xi almost arrived at the same time, following closely behind them. They went straight to Long Haochen’s side. Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi followed behind them, their faces looking somewhat unhappy.

“You started a betting pool?” Long Haochen looked intently at Lin Xin.

Lin Xin grinned and said, “Don’t worry, Boss, I know what I’m doing. I didn’t collect too many merits. The maximum bet per person is limited to one thousand.”

Only then did Long Haochen’s expression relax. If they caused a large number of General-rank and Soldier-rank Demon Hunt Squads to go bankrupt, wouldn’t they become a target for everyone’s hatred? The originally weaker party would also be antagonized.

“Haochen, you should keep Lin Xin in check. He’s being unfair, he won’t accept our additional bets,” Yang Wenzhao said in an annoyed tone.

Because Lin Xin and Lu Xi had sat down next to Long Haochen, Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi could only sit a little further away.

Lin Xin looked aggrieved and said, “It’s not that I won’t accept it! You guys were late. We closed the betting pool before you arrived, I couldn’t help it. Right, Lao Lu?”

Lu Xi seemed to have become familiar with Lin Xin in just a short time, and nodded repeatedly, saying, “That’s right. There’s nothing we can do. We also need to find staff from the trading center to notarize this betting pool. Time is limited, please come earlier next time.”

Long Haochen and Lin Xin exchanged a look, revealing a hint of doubt.

Lin Xin showed a hint of contempt on his face and whispered, “It’s true that these two guys each bet a hundred merits on us, but they also each bet the upper limit of one thousand merits on that eighth member. Now they want to go back on it? What were they doing earlier?”

Long Haochen was speechless. Sigh, some people’s merits really aren’t worth feeling sorry for!

Thinking that, he gently patted Cai’er’s small hand, and Cai’er nodded. Only then did he stand up and walk towards the training ground. He didn’t need to do anything, the Knight Training Ground staff had already invited a seventh-rank Holy Knight from the Knight Temple to serve as the judge for this competition. Of course, it wasn’t for free, five hundred merits would be given to this Holy Knight who was also a Demon Hunter as a reward. These merits would be paid by the winner.

The fifth member had also entered the arena. Looking at Long Haochen, who had a calm expression and had already put on his Holy Spirit Armor, he still felt a bit ashamed. He smiled slightly and said, “Little brother, have you thought about it? It’s still not too late to reduce some of your bet.”

Long Haochen shook his head and said, “No need. Since I’m already here, I’ll take a gamble.”

The seventh-rank Holy Knight looked at Long Haochen, and his expression suddenly became a little strange, but he quickly returned to normal and nodded to both of them, saying, “Alright, transfer your betted merits to me.”

The two transferred their merits one after another.

The Holy Knight said, “This is just a competition. One side admits defeat or loses the ability to fight, judged as a loss. You must not injure or cripple your opponent, let alone kill them. Once I find that one side cannot withstand the other’s attack, I will stop the match. There are so many Demon Hunters watching this match, they are all judges.”

A flash of light appeared in Long Haochen’s hand, and the Holy Spirit Sword appeared. He tapped the blade on his left shoulder and gave the Holy Knight a standard knight salute.

The fifth member also saluted the Holy Knight slightly. At the Holy Knight’s signal, the two slowly moved apart.

“Start,” the Holy Knight shouted.

Long Haochen didn’t release any other weapons, just holding the Holy Spirit Sword, making a standard knightly action, stepping forward, and charging straight at the fifth member.

The fifth member was also wearing heavy armor at this time. His armor was clearly much thicker than Long Haochen’s Holy Spirit Armor. Although it was just a magic equipment, its defense was obviously much stronger.

His weapons were a pair of battle axes, making him an axe warrior.

The fifth member’s battle axes were quite large, the axe blades were like half a wheel, emitting a faint cold light, and there was a rich magical fluctuation. Each axe face was inlaid with a rhombus-shaped cyan gem.

Facing Long Haochen’s charge, the fifth member laughed and strode forward to meet him. He was tall and strong, and with his heavy armor, he was like an iron wall. In front of him, Long Haochen seemed too thin.

Seeing that the two were about to collide, the fifth member’s left axe swung down from overhead, diagonally slashing towards Long Haochen, but the right axe did not attack, and was held in front of him.

Facing the powerful axe with strong spiritual power fluctuations, Long Haochen suddenly stopped, and the Holy Spirit Sword in his hand solidified, making a standard defensive posture.

With a loud bang, golden light shone, Long Haochen didn’t move, and the fifth member’s axe was shaken up. At this moment, the Holy Spirit Sword in Long Haochen’s right hand stabbed out like lightning, transforming into countless sword shadows, it was the Lightning Thrust.

Long Haochen was only using a single sword now, and the fifth member couldn’t even tell if he was a Guardian Knight or a Retribution Knight. Divine Shield Guard was a Guardian Knight skill, but Lightning Thrust was a Retribution Knight skill… Divine Shield Guard? The fifth member’s heart instantly rose with these four words, and he became even more cautious. The right axe held in front of him, quickly swung, quickly blocking the attacks of the Lightning Thrust.

However, Long Haochen’s Lightning Thrust was too fast, and he couldn’t block all of them. At least five or six swords hit his thick armor, making a series of metallic collisions. It even left five or six dents on his armor.

Although Long Haochen didn’t use other skills in this sword, it was a Lightning Thrust with Light’s Retribution. Naturally, the power was not small.

The fifth member quickly retreated two steps, and the double axes in his hand swept horizontally in front of him. Strong spiritual power fluctuations accompanied by two cyan lights burst out instantly, blocking Long Haochen’s pursuit.

At this time, his evaluation of Long Haochen had greatly increased, and he also put away his contempt.

A Guardian Knight who could use Divine Shield Guard and Lightning Thrust, and from his attack power, he could also see that Long Haochen was indeed a fifth-rank knight. How old was he? It seemed that in today’s battle, he really had to go all out.

With two swishes of his sword, two golden light chops were slashed out, blocking the two axe beams of the fifth member. Long Haochen took another step forward, Assault!

The fifth member roared, his body turned halfway, and a pair of big axes were like shooting stars chasing the moon, slashing towards Long Haochen one after another. After the previous test, this time he no longer held back. Strong cyan spiritual power burst out from his body, and a pair of big axes even burst out with dazzling light, and the axe blade seemed to become transparent. The tyrannical spiritual power fluctuations brought up a whirlwind, rushing towards Long Haochen like a raging wave.

Axe warriors belong to a kind of berserker, completely inclined to attack, somewhat similar to Retribution Knights, except that they don’t have mounts. The attributes of knights are all mainly light attributes, but warriors are not like that, all kinds of attributes are ever-changing.

Long Haochen, who was in the midst of an Assault, jumped up but suddenly moved three feet horizontally in the air. His action was very abrupt, so that the fifth member’s double axes failed to complete the lock. Stepping on the ground, Long Haochen had turned to the fifth member’s diagonal rear, not only dodging the fifth member’s heavy chop, but also finding an opportunity to attack.

Lightning Thrust, still Lightning Thrust. However, this time he encountered obstacles.

Strong cyan spiritual power was full of resistance, and a series of spiritual ripples splashed, and his Lightning Thrust could not penetrate at all. The fifth member whose double axes missed instantly twisted his waist, and the whole person turned into a cyan whirlwind and slammed towards Long Haochen, Whirlwind Slash.
