The young man holding a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right was none other than Long Haochen. Long Haochen pointed the light sword in his hand towards Sima Xian. The Light’s Vengeance brought by Divine Protection Block transformed into a healing light that landed on him. The warm energy nourished Sima Xian’s meridians, which were aching due to his berserk state, instantly refreshing his spirit.

“Stop.” Gui Wu, riding on the back of a Crimson Armor Earth Dragon, raised his spear and controlled the dragon to retreat a few steps. His two warrior companions also quickly retreated, ceasing their attacks.

“It’s you.” Gui Wu stared at Long Haochen with a gloomy gaze.

Long Haochen said calmly, “It is me. Do you remember the bet between Teacher Ye Hua and your father?”

Gui Wu’s expression changed slightly. He had just witnessed Long Haochen blocking an attack from a fifth-tier spell like Fire Dance Radiance. His original confidence had weakened considerably. “Of course, I remember. We’ll meet in the selection competition. Let’s go.” He had already seen Long Haochen and his companions, and with the addition of the violent priest Sima Xian, they would definitely not have any advantage.

The two warriors lifted the heavily injured assassin, and Gui Wu and his group left in a dispirited manner towards Holy City. Long Haochen didn’t stop them. Even if he wanted to defeat Gui Wu, he would do it fairly in the Demon Hunt Squad selection competition.

Half a year ago, Gui Wu was an eighth-level knight, and now he was only a first-tier Great Knight. Even with the Crimson Armor Earth Dragon, Long Haochen was confident of victory.

“What a piece of trash, ptooey—” Sima Xian spat disdainfully in the direction Gui Wu and his group had left.

Long Haochen turned to him and said, “Hello, let me introduce myself. My name is Long Haochen.”

Sima Xian touched his gleaming bald head, laughed heartily, and said, “Brother, thanks, my name is Sima Xian. Are you guys also going to Holy City to participate in the selection competition?”

Long Haochen nodded and said, “Yes, we’re from Haoyue City in the south. What was going on with you just now? Aren’t you all from Xiu City?”

Sima Xian said with a frustrated expression, “Don’t even mention it. Those guys, not one of them is good. Especially that Gui Wu, he’s full of bad ideas. Not only did he refuse to complete the trial mission with me, but now he wants to deprive me of my right to participate in the competition, saying that I’m disgracing Xiu City. Just because I can’t heal, how am I disgracing Xiu City? I think they’re worried that I’ll get good results in the competition, and then Gui Wu’s father won’t be able to win against my teacher in the competition for city lord.”

A priest who can’t heal? Long Haochen’s heart twitched. This guy was really a weirdo!

Sima Xian said very generously, “Brother Long, you helped me today. I’ll remember this favor and repay it in the future. I’ll take my leave first, I need to hurry to Holy City to meet up with my teacher and tell him about them trying to stop me from participating in the competition. Goodbye.” After speaking, the bald, violent priest strode towards Holy City, carrying his staff.

Li Xin came to Long Haochen’s side and couldn’t help but chuckle, “This bald guy is quite interesting. This is the first time I’ve ever seen a priest who can’t heal. Even if he makes it to the final, who would want to be in a team with him?”

Long Haochen smiled and said, “He is indeed a weirdo. Let’s go too.”

Holy City, headquarters of the Temple Alliance.

This city was gradually constructed after entering the Dark Ages and is the central institution of the Temple Alliance. The Temple Alliance is not a country; this is the highest administrative body, jointly governed by the six great temples. Each temple has a ninth-tier powerhouse stationed here, jointly discussing all actions against the demons and the internal management of the Temple Alliance.

Holy City is not divided into four sides like ordinary cities; it is a hexagonal city, symbolizing the six great temples. This is the most prosperous city in the entire Temple Alliance, but it does not have branch temples of the six great temples; only the Alliance Executive Axe.

In Holy City, there are three famous buildings: the Alliance Executive Axe, the Holy Alliance Grand Auction House, and the Temple Alliance Grand Trial Field.

These three buildings are all located in the central area of Holy City, standing like three legs of a tripod. Among them, the Holy Alliance Grand Trial Field is specifically used for the Demon Hunt Squad selection competition, Demon Hunt Squad advancement, and mission acceptance. Its importance is comparable to any one of the six great temples. It can be said that the six great temples each control the powerhouses of their respective professions, but the Temple Alliance controls all the Demon Hunt Squads.

Among the three famous buildings, the Grand Trial Field is also the largest in area. It is divided into six major areas and has six circular trial fields with a diameter of 300 meters. There is also an exclusive Demon Hunt Squad mission tower, a Demon Hunt Squad trading center, and the Temple Treasury.

When Long Haochen and his group of five arrived at the gate of Holy City, the Inspector Feng Yangmu appeared before them again. He led them into Holy City and directly to the Holy Alliance Grand Trial Field to report and register.

People from the six great temples were responsible for receiving them at the registration office. Here, Long Haochen and his group of five would have to part ways. They would each go to their respective temples to participate in the preliminary competition.

“Sister Lin, Brother Chen, Second Brother Chen, good luck. Let’s try to meet in the finals,” Long Haochen said with a smile.

Chen Si sighed softly and said, “We’ll do our best.” Judging by the looks of the brothers, they didn’t have much confidence. The competition in the Warrior Temple was the most intense. With their fourth-tier beginner and second-tier cultivation, it would be exceptionally difficult to enter the top ten.

Lin Jialu smiled slightly and said, “Haochen, you and Xin’er have to work hard too.”

The five said their goodbyes and went to report to the registration office of their respective temples.

When Long Haochen and Li Xin arrived at the registration office of the Knight Temple, they immediately saw Ye Hua waiting there.

Seeing Long Haochen and Li Xin, Ye Hua did not have any surprised expression. He had confidence in his disciple, and Li Xin possessed the Rose Unicorn and had a not-weak cultivation base. It would be abnormal if they did not pass the trial.

“Teacher.” Seeing Ye Hua, Long Haochen immediately greeted him excitedly.

Ye Hua said, “Let’s go, let’s register first, and then settle down. You have one day of rest. The preliminary competition will start the day after tomorrow morning.” His expression seemed a little grave.

Reporting and registration were simple. Handing over the token, receiving a new competition number plate from the Knight Temple, and then completing the registration was all that was needed. If the participant had not completed the trial mission, the token would definitely be taken back by the inspector. Therefore, it was only necessary to verify the authenticity of the token.

After the reporting was completed, Ye Hua took Long Haochen and Li Xin to a hotel near the Grand Trial Field arranged by the Knight Temple to complete the check-in procedures, and then took them directly to his room.

“The competition this time will be very fierce. You must be prepared.” Ye Hua said with a gloomy face.

Li Xin and Long Haochen looked at each other, and their hearts were simultaneously awe-struck.

Ye Hua said in a deep voice: “I’ve inquired, there are at least more than a hundred people who have passed the trial and are able to participate in the preliminary competition of the Knight Temple. The specific number depends on when the final report ends tomorrow. But among those who have already reported, there are already three Earth Knights.”

“What?” Li Xin exclaimed in shock. Earth Knights, fifth-tier Earth Knights? That was an existence whose cultivation was almost the same as Ye Hua’s. Moreover, once the cultivation base entered the fifth tier, the spiritual power would gradually liquefy, and the power of all skills would be greatly increased. Although Earth Knights and Great Knights differed by only one word, they were worlds apart.

Compared to Li Xin’s shock, Long Haochen was much more stable. Although there was also a look of shock on his face, the firmness in his eyes did not change.
