Looking at Long Haochen’s determined gaze, Yang Haohan slowly nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll arrange it. But, there’s one thing you need to remember. If you don’t pass this assessment, then you won’t be able to choose a lower-level assessment in the future. You can only stay in the Temple to continue cultivating until you pass the assessment and obtain the Epic-tier Mithril Foundation Armor. Only then can you start your ten million merit task.”

Long Haochen was stunned for a moment. He vaguely felt like he had been led into a trap, but things had already reached this point, so how could he retreat? That would undermine his fighting spirit.

“Yes.”

Yang Haohan was secretly laughing to himself, “Little brat, I’ll let you be arrogant, someone will take care of you later.”

His goal was simple: to keep Long Haochen in the Knight Temple as long as possible, preventing him from re-forming his team and going to the Demon Clan to complete the task. And this process of creating difficulties was also a process of improving Long Haochen’s strength, killing two birds with one stone. He was naturally in a good mood.

Yang Haohan called over a knight and led Long Haochen to a training ground inside the Knight Temple’s main hall.

This training ground was much smaller than the Holy Alliance’s Grand Training Ground, and it was built underground. It was also a circular arena, only fifty meters in diameter. However, Long Haochen didn’t underestimate this training ground in the slightest, because there were strong spiritual power fluctuations at the top, bottom, and around the training ground. In terms of solidity, the Holy Alliance’s Grand Training Ground was not as good as this place.

After Long Haochen was brought here, the knight left, leaving him alone in the training ground.

Putting on the Glorious Holy Armor, Long Haochen sat down directly on one side of the training ground, focusing his mind and adjusting his breathing and the spiritual power fluctuations within his body.

Soft, light-gold mist faintly appeared on the surface of his body, making the golden Glorious Holy Armor look extraordinarily dazzling. Beneath his crystal-clear skin, there seemed to be halos of light flowing as well. As he sat there, he immediately felt like he was blending into his surroundings. If you didn’t look with your eyes, it would be difficult to sense his existence.

Long eyelashes rested on his eyelids, and his handsome face had an almost extreme stillness.

Long Haochen waited for nearly half an hour, but he sat there cross-legged without moving at all, nor did he feel the slightest bit of impatience.

The door opened, and a tall knight walked in from outside.

This knight was wearing a set of ordinary full body armor, with a helmet covering his face. His left hand held an extremely heavy tower shield, and his right hand held a war hammer about two meters long. The hammerhead had multiple reflective surfaces, shining with golden light. Both the shield and the weapon were Glorious-tier equipment, not exactly top-tier.

The moment this tall knight stepped into the training ground, Long Haochen’s closed eyes suddenly opened.

The moment he opened his eyes, the tall knight couldn’t help but pause in his footsteps, secretly surprised. Because, when he entered the training ground, he hadn’t sensed any aura belonging to Long Haochen. But at the moment he opened his eyes, he gave off a feeling of a sharp blade being drawn from its sheath.

Floating to his feet, Long Haochen placed his right fist across his chest and respectfully said to the knight opposite him, “Hello, respected Mithril Foundation Knight.”

The tall knight’s voice was sonorous and powerful, but it had a slightly hoarse quality to it, “Hello.”

Long Haochen glanced at the other party’s weapons and equipment, “Senior, my equipment is a bit better than yours, should we switch?”

The tall knight said calmly, “There’s no need to switch. What you need to do is to do everything possible to defeat me. During the assessment, you may not use a mount, and there are no other restrictions. I will not show mercy, let’s begin.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the tall knight suddenly strode forward without any hesitation, charging towards Long Haochen. His strides were large, and each step that landed caused a loud boom throughout the training ground. Intense golden flames suddenly rose from his body, and a pressure like a surging wave came crashing down.

Long Haochen’s expression changed slightly. Although his prediction for the Mithril Foundation Knight was already high, he felt a huge pressure as soon as the tall knight made his move.

The other party didn’t seem to have any skills, and he didn’t even release his Spiritual Wings. However, he pushed his aura to the extreme, pressing forward with a crushing impact. He could have been faster, but he deliberately maintained a certain rhythm in order to raise his aura to its peak.

Long Haochen certainly couldn’t let the other party raise his aura to its peak. His strong perception told him that if the other party unleashed his full aura, he would not be able to withstand the attack.

With a light tap of his toes on the ground, golden flames also suddenly rose from his body. However, unlike the tall knight, the golden flames that Long Haochen burst out from were sprayed out behind him.

Within the training ground, it was as if a golden lightning bolt suddenly appeared, the shortest distance, the most direct forward charge, straight towards the front.

Lightspeed Flash, the secret technique of a seventh-tier Retribution Knight, a powerful skill that instantly enhances speed and momentum to the extreme.

This skill is extremely difficult to control, and even some eighth-tier Retribution Knights may not be able to master it. And Long Haochen unleashed this skill almost without any preparation or accumulation of momentum.

And the sharpness of this golden lightning bolt was transformed into a golden ray of light. Long Haochen’s body almost became parallel to the ground the moment he rushed out, becoming one with his sword.

However, strangely, in the state of being one with his sword, he didn’t emit a trace of sword intent from his body, except for the intense flames spewing out from behind him.

The tall knight, who was striding forward, suddenly stopped the moment Long Haochen took off, as if sensing danger. The huge tower shield directly blocked in front of him.

“Ding—” A melodious crisp sound rang out almost instantly.

Although Lightspeed Flash cannot truly reach the speed of light, it is the strongest speed Long Haochen can currently achieve, almost comparable to instantaneous movement.

The collision was so swift and direct. In that melodious crisp sound, an unparalleled fierce sword intent burst out. It actually tore apart the powerful aura that the tall knight had emitted before in an instant.

Long Haochen’s attack seemed unprepared, but in reality, when he launched the attack, he had concentrated all his spiritual power on one point. What’s even more terrifying is that he had completely restrained his own sword intent on the Aria of the Goddess of Light, and its power far exceeded his strongest attack before his seclusion.

However, the strength displayed by the tall knight shocked Long Haochen even more. Just as the Aria of the Goddess of Light pierced the tower shield, which was only Glorious-tier equipment, with a single point, a golden light spot suddenly appeared on the surface of the tower shield. The brilliance of the golden light even surpassed the point of Long Haochen’s sword tip. In the piercing buzzing sound, Long Haochen felt that he had pierced a mountain instead of a shield.

What was even more terrifying was that such an intense collision didn’t produce a trace of recoil. Long Haochen’s Aria of the Goddess of Light seemed to be stuck to the tower shield.

This is… Spirit罡.

A powerful ability unique to eighth-tier powerhouses, Spirit罡.

The strength of the demons is more often reflected in their bodies, but in the application of spiritual power, demons of the same rank are definitely not as good as humans.

Spirit罡 is a powerful augmentation skill exclusive to the three major Knight Temples of the Holy Temple Alliance, and also one of the representative abilities of human eighth-tier powerhouses.

After spiritual power breaks through 30,000, you need to establish a fourth spiritual aperture before you can break through to the eighth tier and continue to move forward. Almost every eighth-tier human powerhouse establishes the fourth spiritual aperture in a different position, and everyone has their own cultivation characteristics. For example, the fourth spiritual aperture that Long Haochen established is on his right shoulder.

When spiritual power breaks through 30,000, the concentration of liquid spiritual power in the body of an eighth-tier powerhouse has reached an extremely terrifying level. Although there are spiritual apertures to converge it, when spiritual power condenses to a certain level, it will produce a solidified effect.

Spirit罡 is the powerful force generated by the instantaneous burst of solidified spiritual power. Even for eighth-tier powerhouses, using the powerful skill of Spirit罡 consumes a huge amount of energy and cannot leave the body. That is to say, Spirit罡 can only be used close to the body.

Long Haochen has officially broken through to the eighth tier, but after all, he is still a rookie in the eighth tier. He also has some understanding of Spirit罡, but he is not yet proficient in using it. This requires his spiritual power to continue to increase before he can truly unleash the power of Spirit罡. After his cultivation breaks through to the ninth tier, he can release Spirit罡 externally.

Back when Long Haochen and his father were still in Odin Town, when Long Xingyu relied on his powerful strength to instantly destroy a large number of demon powerhouses, what he used was actually the external release of Spirit罡, instantly killing a large number of demons. Of course, he greatly enhanced the power of Spirit罡 through his own Divine Throne, otherwise, he would not have been able to achieve that level.

This is the first time Long Haochen has faced Spirit罡. Because although he has fought against eighth-tier powerhouses before, those were all demons in the eighth tier. But human eighth-tier powerhouses are the first time he has challenged.

Only by truly experiencing it can you fully feel the horror of Spirit罡. Moreover, what shocked Long Haochen was that this tall knight had reached a level of perfection in controlling Spirit罡.

With his Lightspeed Flash combined with the sword-body unity, coupled with the Aria of the Goddess of Light, the power was so strong that if other eighth-tier knights were here, they would not be able to resist with just a simple Spirit罡. However, this tall knight was able to predict his attack and condense Spirit罡 at one point, and forcefully blocked the attack of the Aria of the Goddess of Light. In fact, Long Haochen’s sword tip didn’t actually hit the tower shield.

The stagnation only appeared for a moment. The next moment, a mountain-collapsing, tsunami-like Spirit罡 shock was transmitted from the tower shield.
