Okay, here’s the translation of the provided Traditional Chinese text into English:

The final competition is about to begin this afternoon, with a total of nineteen people advancing to this last round. In addition, one person who performed the best from the previous round’s tie-breaker has also made it into the top twenty. However, this person who just made it into the top twenty has participated in a tie-breaker, so it will obviously not be easy for them to ultimately win.

Even though they lost the competition, the 21st Demon Hunt Squad, a Major-ranked squad, wasn’t discouraged. After all, they are still a Major-ranked Demon Hunt Squad, and losing to a Marshal-ranked demon hunter is nothing to be ashamed of. Moreover, there was also the issue of attribute counteraction.

Through this competition, they suddenly felt like they had fallen in love with that red skeleton. Whether they were warriors or mages, their grasp of timing and combat skills on the battlefield had improved significantly. Even those Marshal-ranked veterans weren’t stronger than them in terms of skill.

Lunch.

“Captain, you must win this afternoon!” Sima Xian said with a lot of frustration. His strengths and weaknesses are obvious. His strength is naturally his formidable close-range combat ability, and he won’t suffer a loss when facing 6th-level opponents. But the problem is, he’s not very fast, so he doesn’t have any good ways to deal with mages who are good at ranged attacks. Moreover, he’s most afraid of the kind of mages who are good at control and slowing spells. Unfortunately, he encountered one in the third round of the competition.

Long Haochen smiled and said, “Sima, don’t be discouraged. One competition doesn’t prove anything.”

Caier looked at Long Haochen with a teasing smile and said, “I hope I can draw you this afternoon.”

Long Haochen rubbed her hair and subconsciously put his arm around her slender waist. Although Caier’s senses have returned, he’s used to hugging her. That soft, slender waist always makes him want to continue.

He naturally understood Caier’s meaning. If there’s one person who needs to be guaranteed to advance in the team, it’s definitely him. Because he can control entry to the Eternal Tower, only if he advances can he bring his partners into the paradise within the Dream Divine Hall.

Han Yu handed Light’s Admonishment to Long Haochen, “Captain, has Haoyue not finished evolving yet?”

Those 6th-level demon hunters are indeed powerful. Han Yu’s cultivation isn’t weak, and when paired with the Evil Eye, which has already advanced to a 7th-level magic beast, he still lost the competition.

Long Haochen shook his head and said, “Haoyue has been asleep for a long time this time. I estimate that after this advancement, it should bring me some surprises. Don’t worry, even without it, I’m confident.”

Surviving against the 8th-level Moon Demon was a heavy experience for him. Having faced an opponent with over 20,000 spiritual energy, it’s difficult for opponents of the same level to put pressure on him anymore. What’s more, he already has two Spiritual Furnaces. This is his advantage. Even without Haoyue, his strength is still outstanding among the 6th level hunters. Don’t forget, counting Light’s Admonishment, he has almost five Glory-tier or above equipment!

The Training Grounds.

Even though the majority of the competitions have ended, they still came to watch the final competition, to see who would be able to enter the final top ten.

Because it was related to whether or not they could enter the Dream Divine Hall, the atmosphere inside the training grounds became particularly tense. Especially for the twenty competitors who were about to participate in the competition.

The lottery began, and soon, all twenty people had numbers. Long Haochen and Caier glanced at them. They didn’t match. Caier drew number two, and Long Haochen drew number seven. This also meant that Caier would be competing in the first match.

The referee for the afternoon changed. Shockingly, the Temple Head of the Priest Temple, Ling Xiao, personally stood in the arena.

The reason Ling Xiao was personally acting as a referee was simple: deterrence. This was the final round of the competition, determining who would ultimately go to the Dream Divine Hall. Every demon hunter would surely go all out. Ling Xiao didn’t want to see any injuries or even deaths occurring in the Priest Temple during the demon hunter competition. Every demon hunter is the Alliance’s most valuable resource. With him presiding over the competition, he believed that no one would dare to use brutal methods. Furthermore, even if problems arose, he could provide timely treatment with his powerful healing abilities as a 9th-level priest.

“Final round of the competition, contestants number one and number two, please enter the arena.” Ling Xiao’s voice was calm, but it echoed in every corner of the training grounds. His invisible authority instantly silenced the demon hunters in the rest area.

Caier stood up from Long Haochen’s side and slowly walked towards the arena. She was still wearing her veil, walking slowly into the arena.

The contestant who drew number one was a tall knight, looking to be in his thirties. When he saw that his opponent was Caier, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. This wasn’t just because Caier looked young, but also because of the two’s class matchup.

This knight was a Guardian Knight. Guardian Knights are the least afraid of assassins. Relying on powerful defensive capabilities and mount support, he had absolute confidence in defeating the little girl in front of him. However, he also did not let his guard down just because Caier looked young. Being able to enter the final round had already proven many things. This little girl was probably not that easy to deal with.

Ling Xiao’s gaze deliberately lingered on Caier for a while. This was the final round, and he wanted to see how capable this girl, who was hailed by Ying Suifeng as the next successor to the Assassin Temple, was. She has the physique of a Reincarnation Saintess!

“Assassin versus Knight, both sides, keep a distance of thirty meters. The competition begins.” Ling Xiao said plainly. A ray of golden light flashed under his feet, and in the next moment, he had reached the edge of the arena.

An icy killing intent erupted from Caier’s body almost instantly. In her eyes, firmness and coldness shone. As the competition began, she rushed towards the middle-aged knight like a black lightning bolt. Her pair of distinctive black wings unfurled in the air.

The entire training ground seemed to darken as Caier released her spiritual wings, as if the light was being absorbed by her wings. In the air, an almost frozen, icy killing intent rose instantly, and the spectators in the rest area all felt a chill on their bodies.

What kind of spiritual wings are these? How can they be black?

Black spiritual wings generally only appear in one situation, which is dark attributes. However, there are almost no dark attribute professionals in the Alliance! Could it be that this girl from the Assassin Temple actually has the same dark attributes as the demons?

Only the person involved didn’t think so. The middle-aged knight was also heavily shocked at the moment Caier released her spiritual wings. His feelings were the strongest. The chilling killing intent locked onto his body like a tangible thing, and Caier’s figure became somewhat illusory in his sight.

Her black wings flapped powerfully, and Caier’s already fast speed increased again. Because of the excessive speed, her body actually made a sharp whistle in the air, leaving a series of afterimages. Thirty meters disappeared almost in an instant.

How fast was Caier’s speed? You could tell by looking at her opponent. The two were thirty meters apart! But he didn’t have time to summon his mount partner.

The knight was wearing black heavy armor, a golden shield in his left hand, and a golden greatsword in his right. Seeing that Caier had already approached, he shouted loudly, stepped forward with his left foot, and his shield swept towards Caier at the same time. At the same time, a layer of holy light罩 rippled from his body.

His holy light 罩 wasn’t for defense, but was used for assassins to sense.

The biggest characteristic of an assassin is speed. Using a full-range defense skill like holy light 罩 can allow one to sense her attack direction in the shortest amount of time and respond accordingly.

This knight was also the core of his team, and naturally, this wasn’t his first time fighting assassins.

However, Caier did not play using her movement as he expected. An dark-golden light flashed, and her petite body twisted slightly, almost sliding past the edge of the sweeping shield. Her short sword went straight for the knight’s chest.

The knight’s reaction was also very fast. The sound of a dragon’s roar erupted from his body in an instant. The 5th-level Ascending Dragon Strike suddenly erupted, but his body did not rise according to the Ascending Dragon Strike’s attack method. Only the golden light around his body flourished, and golden dragon scale-like spiritual power waved and spread instantly, blocking Caier’s attack. At the same time, the golden light of the greatsword in his right hand bloomed, a Radiant Sun Slash.

It’s not that higher-level powerhouses must use higher-level skills. Many times, lower-level skills are more important than higher-level skills. Because lower-level skills mean less spiritual power consumption and faster cast speed.

With a clanging sound, Caier’s dark golden dagger struck the knight’s heavy armor. Then, with the help of the rebounding force, her body suddenly retreated.

The knight pressed the attack, his heavy sword pointed forward, and actually launched a Lightning Thrust with the Radiant Sun Slash.

A strange scene appeared. Amidst the flashing golden light, the front of each sword of the Lightning Thrust looked like it was carrying a golden little sun.

This was a combination of the Radiant Sun Slash and Lightning Thrust. With the help of the Lightning Thrust’s speed, the Radiant Sun Slash’s hit rate was greatly improved, even though it had not decreased. But he was facing an assassin, and assassins’ defenses were usually not very good.

It seemed that this Guardian Knight had gained a full advantage, but in reality, only he knew that he had already suffered a hidden loss.

This knight thought that his Ascending Dragon Strike combined with combat skills would definitely block Caier’s attack just now, but in reality, Caier’s attack was not only swift, but also very tricky. Like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, it still pierced through the gap in his defense, and the dark golden dagger stabbed into his heavy armor.

His heavy armor did not come with any skills, but it was Glory-tier equipment. Its strength was in the material. Its defensive power was extremely amazing, and its hardness and toughness were far superior to ordinary metals. However, Caier’s strike, as fleeting as a glance, made him feel chills down his spine.
