Donning the light armor, he immediately felt as if the light elements gathered around his body had been enhanced. Subconsciously, he circulated his internal spiritual power. A layer of faint golden light rippled noticeably on the light armor. Although it didn’t reduce the spiritual power consumption when Long Haochen used skills, both his attack and defense were enhanced.

More importantly, this armor was very light and didn’t affect Long Haochen’s movements at all.

As for the pair of greatswords, he liked them even more. Driven by spiritual power, light flickered on the two greatswords. Especially the light sword, which matched his attribute, could spit out a pale golden light blade more than a foot long. The fire sword was slightly less effective in terms of attribute amplification, but fire didn’t reject light. With the injection of sacred light internal spiritual power, it could still unleash at least 80% of its attack power.

Long Haochen roughly estimated that with this set of equipment, his combat power would be increased by at least 10%. Moreover, with the Don’t Forget Me Ring, he could switch between using the sword or the shield in his left hand at any time, which was equivalent to switching between a Guardian Knight and a Retribution Knight.

“Haochen.” A cold voice came from outside the door.

“Teacher.” Long Haochen quickly went to open the door and welcomed Ye Hua in.

Hao Yue, who was gnawing on dried fish, saw Ye Hua enter and growled at him unpleasantly, seemingly still holding a grudge about what happened before.

Long Haochen led his teacher to the inner room. Ye Hua looked at the light armor on him and said, “Hao Yue City is considered generous. But, they don’t even have a Spiritual-Magical grade equipment? They really do discriminate.”

Long Haochen smiled and said, “It’s already a pleasant surprise to have a set of magic equipment. Teacher, didn’t you say that a true powerhouse shouldn’t rely too much on equipment?”

Ye Hua snorted and said, “That was when I was teaching you. Now it’s different. The Demon Hunt Squad selection isn’t just a competition, it’s basically a war. One mistake and you’ll lose your life.”

Long Haochen said, “Teacher, do you have so little confidence in me?”

Ye Hua said, “Having confidence is one thing, being prepared for the worst is another. You’re leaving tomorrow, and I’ll also be heading to the Temple Alliance to wait for you to participate in the main competition. Here, take this.” As he spoke, Ye Hua took off a grey metal bracer from his wrist.

Just looking at the appearance of this bracer, it seemed very ordinary, but when Ye Hua took it off, Long Haochen was surprised to see that the inside of the bracer was actually pale golden, composed of at least a hundred pale golden gems the size of rice grains.

Long Haochen wasn’t skilled in crafting equipment, but not knowing these gems didn’t affect his judgment of this equipment. The light attribute spiritual power fluctuations emanating from it alone were much stronger than his few pieces of equipment.

“Your teacher is poor, and I don’t have anything good to give you. This Spiritual Light Bracer can generate a Holy Light Shield after injecting spiritual power, which can be activated three times a day. Each time it can last for one minute.”

The Holy Light Shield was a defensive skill that a Great Knight-level Guardian Knight could use. Its defensive effect was much stronger than the Spiritual Light Shield, and the biggest advantage of the Holy Light Shield was that its range was controllable. The larger the coverage area, the lower the defense would be accordingly. More importantly, the Holy Light Shield also had a certain healing effect within its range. It was one of the best skills for Guardian Knights. The only drawback was that it consumed a lot of spiritual power. Activating this skill required 50 points of internal spiritual power, and it consumed an additional 5 points of internal spiritual power for each second it lasted.

This showed how precious the equipment Ye Hua casually threw to Long Haochen was. Each use was equivalent to saving 350 points of internal spiritual power! And it could be activated three times a day, making it definitely a good thing to save lives. It was considered a rare treasure even among Spiritual-Magical grade equipment.

“Teacher, this is too precious. I can’t accept it.”

Ye Hua’s face darkened. “You think it’s too bad? If you don’t want it, throw it away. I’m going back.” As he spoke, he stood up and walked out.

Long Haochen said helplessly, “Teacher, that’s not what I meant. This Spiritual Light Bracer is too precious, I…”

Ye Hua paused at the doorway. “I don’t have any relatives, only you as my disciple.” After saying this, he waved his hand at Long Haochen, signaling him not to see him off, and left alone.

Looking at the bracer in his hand, Long Haochen felt a warmth in his heart. “Teacher, I won’t let you down.”

Early morning, Hao Yue City East Gate.

This was the meeting place agreed upon last night. Li Xin, riding her Rose Unicorn, which had grown to the peak of the fifth rank in two years, went to the East Gate with Long Haochen.

After more than two years, Long Haochen was no longer a child. He was naturally embarrassed to ride with Li Xin again. Nalan Shu gave him a sturdy horse, and he rode alongside Li Xin on horseback.

“Haochen, where did Hao Yue go? Where did that guy run off to?” Li Xin looked around and didn’t find the two-headed lizard that stuck to Long Haochen all day long. She couldn’t help but be curious. Ever since Long Haochen brought it back, this guy had been inseparable from Long Haochen.

Long Haochen smiled and said, “Sister, it’s nearby. It will naturally appear when we leave the city.”

Li Xin said curiously, “I really think Hao Yue is even smarter than my Rose. But it’s only in the middle stage of the fourth rank.”

Soon, the siblings arrived at the East Gate. At this time, the Chen brothers, looking excited, were already waiting here. Lin Jialu hadn’t arrived yet.

“Miss Xin’er, Little Brother Long.” Chen Si took the initiative to greet them. The brothers were very respectful to Li Xin. As for Long Haochen, they mostly regarded him as an appendage of Li Xin. After all, Nalan Shu also said yesterday that Long Haochen was only fourteen years old this year. How much ability could a fourteen-year-old child have? Li Xin was different. Not only was her cultivation higher than theirs, but she also possessed a powerful magical beast like the Rose Unicorn. Her overall strength was comparable to the sum of their brothers. The status of knights had always been higher than that of warriors, so they naturally hoped to have a good relationship with Li Xin.

Those who could be selected to participate in the Demon Hunt Squad selection competition were all outstanding talents. The upcoming test required everyone’s cooperation.

Li Xin nodded to them and said, “Has Lin Jialu not arrived yet?”

Chen Si smiled and said, “It’s not time yet. Let’s wait for a while.”

Li Xin nodded with a straight face.

The Chen Si and Chen Chen brothers were also riding sturdy horses. While they were talking, a carriage slowly drove up and stopped not far in front of them.

The curtain was lifted, and Lin Jialu jumped out of the carriage first, but she stood there respectfully. Immediately after, an old man walked out of the carriage.

This old man looked to be in his sixties or seventies. His white hair was combed meticulously, and the slightly fragrant hair wax made his short hair shiny. He had thick eyebrows and large eyes, but his eyes were slightly cold, and his lips were thin. The aura of pride and nobility gave people a feeling of being unapproachable.

He was wearing a light cyan magic robe, with the edges outlined in gold thread. The robe itself also emitted a faint metallic luster, and active wind elements naturally swirled around his body. He held a long-handled staff in his hand. The staff was dark green, with an egg-sized cyan-white gemstone at the top.

Lin Jialu said respectfully, “Inspector, please.”

The old man nodded, looked at her, and his haughty eyes softened a little. “Let’s go.” Accompanied by Lin Jialu, he came to Long Haochen and the others.

Everyone quickly dismounted. Without a doubt, this old man was the inspector sent by the Temple Alliance, a magician. Although there were no obvious magic fluctuations emanating from him, he was clearly not someone Lin Jialu could compare to.

The old man walked in front of everyone, didn’t say much, just said lightly, “Departure.”
