Here, Yating raised her staff. While Long Haochen and Haoyue were attacking, she had been constantly chanting spells. At this moment, the spell was completed.

A total of eighteen golden stars shot out. The first one was the slowest, but it was instantly caught up by the second, then the third, fourth, and so on, until the eighteenth. Each golden star was a little faster than the previous one. In a series of collisions, the speed instantly increased to the extreme, transforming into a dazzling spear of starlight in the air, shooting straight towards the Templar Knight.

Light element Sixth-Order magic, Starfall Spear.

The Templar Knight couldn’t bother with being surprised. Unsteady, he vigorously flapped his spiritual wings behind him, pointing his spear forward, and collided fiercely with the Starfall Spear.

With a loud bang, golden light flashed across the sky. The Templar Knight groaned and flew backward. Fortunately, his unicorn flapped its wings in time to catch his falling figure. However, after being hit repeatedly, the Templar Knight’s face was already a little pale.

Golden light flashed, and Long Haochen reappeared in front of him. This time, the Aria of the Goddess of Light changed from a cleave to a stab. At the moment this sword was thrust out, the massive sword radiance emitted by the Aria of the Goddess of Light instantly converged, and the spiritual pearl at the tip of the sword burst out with a dazzling light.

A sharp sword radiance pierced through the sword in Long Haochen’s surprised perception, striking the Templar Knight’s raised spear first. The unparalleled sharpness of the sword’s intent caused both the Templar Knight and his unicorn to tremble. The next moment, the body of the Aria of the Goddess of Light collided with his spear.

In the ear-splitting explosion, the spear in the Templar Knight’s hand shattered into golden light. The remaining force of the Shura Stab continued unabated, hitting his chest armor squarely.

The Templar Knight felt a sharp sword intent instantly lock onto his entire body, preventing him from making any rash movements, as if any slight movement would cause his body to shatter like the spear that had just been destroyed.

Not only were the Templar Knight’s eyes filled with disbelief, but Long Haochen himself was as well. He hadn’t expected to defeat a Seventh-Order Templar Knight, and the whole process was so short. This also caused his subsequent series of attacks to cease.

The golden light converged, and the Aria of the Goddess of Light excitedly hummed as it reattached itself to Long Haochen’s right hand. Long Haochen said apologetically, “Sorry, I destroyed your weapon.”

The Templar Knight smiled wryly, “You should be a Retribution Knight, right? Such strong explosive power. I lost fairly. You have a Spiritual Furnace, and it must be an evolved Light Element Spiritual Furnace, coupled with the suppression of your mount and your own high burst of strength, you won. You truly deserve to be called the hero who faced the Eighth-Order Moon Demon in Zhennan Pass.”

The two returned to the ground. The Templar Knight gave Long Haochen a knight’s salute and said, “I must immediately report to Lord Paladin Captain. You can continue to register for the Commander-Grade Demon Hunt Squad. It was an honor to fight you.” After saying this, he sent his unicorn back and strode away.

Long Haochen subconsciously raised his right hand to look at it. He understood that his easy victory was largely due to the Aria of the Goddess of Light. This was also the first time he realized that a powerful weapon could instantly change the battlefield.

Although this divine sword lacked sharpness, the spiritual pearl at the tip seemed to have the effect of destroying the opponent’s weapons. Also, the sword radiance and sword intent he used when using the Shura Stab were clearly abilities currently attached to this Legendary-Grade divine sword. To fully master it would obviously take some time.

The examiners were now looking at Long Haochen with awe. This young knight had actually defeated a Seventh-Order expert with Sixth-Order strength, and throughout the entire battle, he won so convincingly. A powerful mount, a powerful Spiritual Furnace, and his own powerful strength. He truly deserved to be the captain of this powerful Demon Hunt Squad! With their overall strength, they could probably be among the best even among Commander-Grade Demon Hunt Squads, right?

The assessment was completed, and the rest of the process was simple. Half an hour later, the original General-Grade Twenty-First Demon Hunt Squad officially changed its name to Commander-Grade Sixty-Fourth Demon Hunt Squad. The number of Commander-Grade Demon Hunt Squads was actually much greater than General-Grade squads. According to the staff at the Mission Tower, the most numerous Demon Hunt Squads were Commander-Grade and King-Grade, followed by Emperor-Grade, and finally General-Grade, Soldier-Grade, and Title-Grade. Commander-Grade, King-Grade, and Emperor-Grade were the backbone of the Demon Hunt Squads.

The Demon Hunt Squad token was replaced with one made of mithril, and it was kept by the captain, Long Haochen. From this moment on, Long Haochen and his team had finally officially become one of the core teams in the special group of Demon Hunt Squads.

With the newly upgraded token, Long Haochen led his teammates out of the Demon Hunt Squad Mission Tower, and the first thing they did was to go to the third floor of the Demon Hunt Squad Trading Center. The magic brought by the Aria of the Goddess of Light made him realize that after possessing powerful equipment, he must adapt through actual combat. As for further promotion, that was not something that could be done overnight. Therefore, he was prepared to spend all the remaining merit points to improve the immediate combat power of his partners.

“It’s so lively!” As soon as they stepped onto the third floor of the Trading Center, Chen Ying’er couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

Indeed, compared to the lower two floors, the third floor of the Trading Center was particularly lively. Although the area was the same as the first and second floors, it was crowded with people. Almost every stall was surrounded by some people. The official third-floor trading platform of the Trading Center was surrounded by at least dozens of people.

Lin Xin said, “I’ve heard that the liveliest place in the Demon Hunt Squad Trading Center is the third floor. Seeing it today, it really lives up to its name.”

Sima Xian asked doubtfully, “Why?”

Lin Xin said, “One is because there are many Commander-Grade Demon Hunt Squads, and the other is that high-level Demon Hunt Squads will also come down to buy some things. Moreover, because there are many Commander-Grade Demon Hunt Squads, the things sold are quite large in both variety and quantity. Even some King-Grade Demon Hunt Squads will come here to sell things. How can it not be lively?”

Long Haochen nodded after hearing Lin Xin’s words and said, “Since this is the case, let’s follow the old rules. Everyone, search separately for equipment that suits you, and then go directly to Lin Xin to buy it. I emphasize two points. Considering the overall increase in strength, Lin Xin, you will be in charge. I, Cai’er, and Sima will buy later. You, Wang Yuanyuan, Ying’er, and Han Yu will buy first. Wang Yuanyuan has the first priority, then Han Yu. Han Yu, you need to buy a good sword.”

Long Haochen’s words made everyone convinced. He made this arrangement after comprehensive consideration. Wang Yuanyuan did not undergo Spiritual Furnace synthesis and gained the least in Dream Paradise. Moreover, her main equipment has always been the Colossus Shield. Although he previously bid for that piece of empty silver crystal for her, considering the overall increase in strength, it is still a priority to choose a Legendary-Grade equipment for her. Han Yu is because he does not have a handy weapon. As for Long Haochen himself, he should of course be ranked last. Although he has not sent the Dragon Crystal to Ye Weiyang, his Aria of the Goddess of Light is equivalent to being exchanged for Dragon Crystal. Moreover, he still has the Glorious Holy Armor and the Glorious Holy Shield. The equipment does not need too much change for the time being. At most, he will need a Radiant-Grade greatsword.

Everyone dispersed, and Long Haochen took Cai’er’s hand and looked around casually on this somewhat crowded third floor. He wanted to find some more defensive or protective equipment for Cai’er. After all, Cai’er’s invisibility necklace has become less effective as she has entered the Sixth-Order.

After walking through two stalls, Long Haochen couldn’t help but sigh in admiration. No wonder there are so many people here, there are indeed many good things! The most sold are Magic Crystals, and at least they are Magic Crystals of Fifth-Level Beasts or higher. He even saw an Eighth-Order Magic Crystal in one stall. Using the rank to describe it naturally came from an Eighth-Order powerhouse of the Demon Race.

In addition to Magic Crystals, various rare materials and crystals also emerged in endlessly, but the number of equipment was very small. Many stalls didn’t even have a single piece of equipment. Even those who had equipment for sale only had Radiant-Grade and Spiritual Demon-Grade. After looking at three stalls in a row, Long Haochen didn’t even see a single piece of Legendary-Grade equipment.

When he came to the fourth stall and still didn’t see any traces of Legendary equipment, he couldn’t help but ask the stall owner, “Hello, where is there Legendary-Grade equipment for sale here?”

The stall owner was a middle-aged man in his thirties. He looked up at Long Haochen and Cai’er and was surprised to see that they were so young. He asked, “Little brother, are you already advanced Commander-Grade at such a young age?”

Long Haochen smiled slightly and said, “By chance, we just advanced to Commander-Grade, and we are not too young, we just look younger.” There was no way, who made them too young? Long Haochen didn’t want to be the object of attention, so he could only say that.

The stall owner chuckled and said, “Interesting. You were asking about Legendary equipment, right? Don’t say I don’t have it here, you probably won’t find many on the entire third floor. The rarity of equipment at the Legendary-Grade is comparable to the Magic Crystal of a Ninth-Level Beast. Our number of Commander-Grade Demon Hunt Squads here is the most numerous among Demon Hunt Squads, and the conditions for advancing to King-Grade Demon Hunt Squads are extremely harsh. Which team hasn’t accumulated a lot of merit points? Once a Legendary-Grade equipment appears, it will be bought immediately. Not to mention after getting Legendary equipment from outside, which team doesn’t satisfy their own needs first? Who would sell it if it is not completely useless? I suggest you go directly to the official counter of the Trading Center to take a look. Maybe the probability of Legendary equipment appearing is higher, but the price will be more expensive than selling it ourselves.”

“Thank you for your guidance, big brother.” As fellow Demon Hunters, they are generally very kind to each other. Long Haochen thanked this senior very respectfully. Just as he was about to take Cai’er to the Trading Center counter, he was stopped by the middle-aged man.
