Chapter 85: A Terrifying Sword (3) | Throne Of Seal [Trans]
Throne Of Seal [Trans] - Updated on March 13, 2025
Standing there, he remained as still and imposing as a deep pool or a towering mountain, quietly gathering momentum, his gaze resolute and steady, his focus locked on his opponent.
Since the preliminary rounds, this was the most peaceful match the Knight Trials arena had seen thus far. Neither side made a move, simply locked in a silent standoff. However, the tense atmosphere in the arena did not lessen due to the stalemate, and the referee did not intervene. The gathering of momentum couldn’t last forever; once his spiritual energy was exhausted, all of it used to compress for that one moment, that was when Long Haochen would have to launch his attack.
But, as time passed, Gui Wu’s expression gradually became uneasy.
Long Haochen was still gathering momentum. A full two minutes had passed. As everyone knew, the longer the momentum was gathered, the greater the power, but also the more spiritual energy was consumed.
Based on Long Haochen’s use of this skill yesterday, Gui Ying had specifically explained the characteristics of gathering momentum to his son. Below the fifth rank, gathering momentum consumed as much as five hundred points of spiritual energy per minute for compression. Two minutes had already passed, meaning Long Haochen had compressed at least a thousand points of spiritual energy.
Was he insane? Was he planning to only unleash a single strike? But at such a distance, how could he possibly reach?
Although Gui Wu’s heart was filled with confusion, his unease only intensified. However, at this point, he was stuck between a rock and a hard place. He had already missed the opportunity to disrupt Long Haochen’s gathering momentum. A thousand points of spiritual energy gathered! How powerful of an attack could that unleash? He could only wait now, daring not approach Long Haochen rashly.
Time slowly passed like a nightmare. Three minutes, it had already been three minutes. Not only Gui Wu, but the contestants in the resting area were also holding their breath.
Fifteen hundred spiritual energy? That was already the level of a seventh-rank Great Knight. This young man, who didn’t even look eighteen, actually possessed such strength. More importantly, Long Haochen’s gathering momentum was still continuing.
When four minutes had passed, there was already an uproar in the resting area. Gui Wu couldn’t help but turn his gaze to the referee and loudly proclaim, “This is impossible, he can’t possibly have a fifth-rank cultivation.”
Two thousand spiritual energy meant an Earth Knight, and also meant spiritual energy liquefaction. But the spiritual energy Long Haochen was releasing clearly showed no signs of liquefaction, yet his gathering momentum had lasted a full four minutes! This was beyond Gui Wu’s comprehension. How could he know that, with the physique of the Child of Light, Long Haochen’s consumption was much lower than that of an ordinary knight?
Just as Gui Wu looked at the referee and exclaimed that it was impossible, Long Haochen suddenly moved.
His right foot heavily stomped on the ground, pushing off with all his might. His entire body, completely transformed into a brilliant golden color, shot towards Gui Wu like a golden arrow. The three-second countdown for the gathering momentum also began at that moment.
Gui Wu was momentarily slow to react because of his questioning. He had to block this attack, blocking it meant victory. His spiritual energy had already been consumed to the limit.
A streak of scarlet light shone from the shield in his hand, the red light directly entering the body of the Crimson Armor Earth Dragon. In an instant, the Crimson Armor Earth Dragon roared skyward, its eyes instantly blossoming with frenzied blood-red light. Its entire aura instantly became stronger.
The shield in Gui Wu’s hand was a Spiritual-Magical grade equipment, with the attached skill, Bloodlust. Under the effect of Bloodlust, the Crimson Armor Earth Dragon’s attack, defense, and speed would instantly increase by ten percent, lasting for one minute.
At the same time, a dazzling cold light erupted from the spear in his hand, also a Spiritual-Magical weapon, with the attached skill, Pierce.
Not staying in place, Gui Wu controlled the Crimson Armor Earth Dragon to dash wildly to the side at the fastest speed. He wanted to put as much distance as possible between himself and Long Haochen, to buy time. As long as he could make Long Haochen’s gathering momentum skill fail, victory in this match would surely belong to him.
One second, just one second, Long Haochen’s body rushed out thirty meters almost skimming the ground. At this time, he was less than a hundred meters away from Gui Wu. His right foot stomped on the ground again, borrowing the momentum from the previous moment, slightly changing direction, and rushing towards Gui Wu with even greater speed.
Thirty-five meters, this time, in the second second, he rushed out thirty-five meters. The distance between him and Gui Wu had been reduced to sixty meters.
Sixty meters left. A victorious smile was already showing on Gui Wu’s face. The attack limit distance for a knight below the fifth rank was only fifteen meters. In the last second, no matter what, Long Haochen couldn’t possibly launch an attack at himself across forty-five meters, especially since he was still running horizontally to create some distance.
Bang. Long Haochen landed on his left foot this time, forcibly stomping out a shallow pit on the ground, increasing his speed again, instantly crossing forty meters.
Three steps, three seconds, traversing over a hundred meters. Among fourth-rank knights, this was already an absolute extreme sprint.
But, at this time, he was still thirty meters away from Gui Wu, who was running horizontally.
Three seconds had passed, the gathered spiritual energy should have dissipated.
The word “foolish” almost appeared in the minds of all the spectators. Even among the big figures on the distant platform of the Knights’ Temple, some of them thought the same way.
In their eyes, Long Haochen had already undoubtedly lost. Was choosing such an attack method not foolish?
In the first row of the resting area, a trace of doubt flashed in the eyes of the black-clothed youth who had previously met Long Haochen’s gaze, his brow slightly furrowed on his resolute face. He muttered, “What is he doing?”
Bang—
At this moment, Long Haochen answered the doubts in everyone’s mind with action. He took his fourth step. His speed didn’t decrease in the slightest.
But, was this useful? The same thought appeared in every spectator’s mind. The gathered spiritual energy had already dissipated, so what if he rushed over? He would only become his opponent’s punching bag.

This time, Gui Wu didn’t run. The Crimson Armor Earth Dragon stopped its wild run and suddenly turned its head. Its powerful body collided with Long Haochen. Two consecutive golden halos bloomed from Gui Wu’s body, both enhancement skills of a guardian knight. The spear in his hand also stabbed towards Long Haochen like a golden lightning bolt. The round shield was held horizontally in front of his chest. At this time, a victorious smile and deep disdain for Long Haochen were already showing on his face.
At the same time, Long Haochen, who was rushing forward, finally made another move. The Light Sword, his light sword that shone with a strong golden light, slashed forward fiercely.
An unparalleled dazzling golden light illuminated the edge of the arena into a strong golden color. A golden blade, as if it were real, burst out from the sword. In Gui Wu’s incredulous eyes, it collided with his spear.
Light Slash, the first ranged attack skill of a knight. But at this time, the Light Slash Sword that Long Haochen used had clearly far exceeded the scope of the Light Slash Sword.
The substantial golden blade even emitted a metallic texture. Its sharpness caused the earth it passed over to crack.
Boom—
Spear broken, shield shattered, armor pierced, person sent flying…
Gui Wu’s body, as if he had crashed into a giant dragon running towards him head-on, along with his Crimson Armor Earth Dragon, flew backwards. He crashed heavily onto the protective light barrier surrounding the arena, and then rebounded back to the ground.
Blood sprayed wildly from both Gui Wu’s and the Crimson Armor Earth Dragon’s mouths at the same time.
Including the referee, only a small portion of the spectators saw clearly that at the moment the Light Slash Sword collided with Gui Wu’s spear, there was a slight deflection, using the side of the blade to slap Gui Wu’s spear. Instead of slashing with the edge of the blade.
Pfft, Long Haochen landed steadily on his feet, and the substantial golden light on his body slowly dissipated. From the surface, he was no different from before the start of the match.
