Gradually, those tiny droplets of water disappeared, and Long Haochen was completely alone. Not a single trace of spiritual energy remained in his body, which was utterly empty.

However, in the very next instant after his spiritual energy completely dissipated, Long Haochen felt a slight tremor throughout his body. Light elements from the air surged into him at an astonishing speed, transforming into strands that quickly converged towards the Holy Origin Spiritual Stove within his chest.

A nascent funnel vortex formed almost instantaneously. At this moment, he recovered at least ten points of internal spiritual energy.

The funnel vortex began to rotate slowly, and internal spiritual energy began to recover on its own. During this process, Long Haochen did nothing; it all recovered automatically.

Could it be that such a change would occur after exhausting one’s internal spiritual energy? At this moment, the speed at which his internal spiritual energy recovered was at least twice as fast as usual.

However, Long Haochen quickly discovered that this recovery speed gradually decreased as his internal spiritual energy increased. When his internal spiritual energy recovered to more than half, the recovery speed had returned to its original state. No, to be precise, it seemed to be a tad faster than the original state.

Long Haochen slowly opened his eyes. “I seem to have discovered a brand new way of cultivating.”

Generally speaking, no professional would allow their internal spiritual energy to be exhausted; it was simply too dangerous. Therefore, few people could experience the feeling Long Haochen had just had. Moreover, his affinity for light elements was almost perfect, and his perception was much deeper than ordinary people.

What Long Haochen didn’t know was that the “Accumulation” skill was originally a cultivation method transformed into a skill by a great power during their cultivation. And his understanding today was a reverse deduction of the “Accumulation” skill, restoring it to a cultivation method. This cultivation method wasn’t recorded anywhere in the Temple Alliance.

Perhaps it wasn’t the best cultivation method, but without a doubt, it was the best choice for allowing spiritual energy to break through from a gaseous state to a liquid state.

Next, Long Haochen did what he had to do: recover his internal spiritual energy to its peak state and then exhaust it through the “Accumulation” skill. He constantly experienced the process around the Holy Origin Spiritual Stove, where internal spiritual energy transformed from a gaseous state to a liquid state.

Moreover, Long Haochen also discovered that every time he made such an attempt, his Holy Origin Spiritual Stove seemed to respond the moment liquid internal spiritual energy appeared.

“Could this be the evolution Dad talked about? Is my Holy Origin Spiritual Stove about to evolve?”

Long Haochen clearly remembered that his father had told him that the Holy Origin Spiritual Stove could evolve a total of five times. As for how to evolve it, Dad didn’t know.

In fact, what Long Xingyu didn’t tell him was that, to date, no one with a Holy Origin Spiritual Stove had ever evolved it to the fifth time.

Li Xin and Long Haochen both successfully passed the second round, but Lin Jialu suffered a setback. She was eliminated in the second round, losing to a seventh-level great mage.

Lin Jialu didn’t plan to stay in Holy City. That night, with Li Xin’s farewell, she left with the Chen Si and Chen Chen brothers.

Because Long Haochen was cultivating, Li Xin didn’t disturb him.

The next morning arrived again. Perhaps because the preliminary competition had entered a crucial moment, when Long Haochen and Li Xin followed Ye Hua out of the hotel, he even felt that the atmosphere of the entire Holy City was somewhat tense.

The preliminary competition entered its third day, entering the middle stage. A total of one hundred and thirty-eight people from the Knight Temple participated, with four fifth-level experts not participating in the first two rounds. The actual number of participants was one hundred and thirty-four.

After two rounds of competition, one lucky person had a bye on the second day. So, thirty-four people advanced, plus the four fifth-level professionals, making thirty-eight people.

Today, these thirty-eight people would determine the top nineteen. And tomorrow would be the final elimination round.

During these two days of the preliminary competition, Ye Hua watched from beginning to end. He brought Long Haochen a piece of news, news that made today’s competition even more tense.

Since today would determine the top nineteen, it meant that one person would inevitably receive a bye in tomorrow’s competition to determine the top ten. And this bye spot would be generated in today’s competition. Whoever could demonstrate convincing strength in today’s competition and gain the approval of the judging panel on the stage could be the first to enter the top ten and obtain this bye spot.

More importantly, the judging panel announced yesterday that because fifth-level professionals had byes in the first two rounds, this bye spot would not belong to those four fifth-levels.

Without a doubt, such a decision would make today’s competition even more intense. Who wouldn’t want to get that bye spot? Getting this spot meant directly entering the top ten of the Knight Temple’s preliminary competition, and it also meant obtaining the qualification to become a member of a Demon Hunt Squad. This was glory, and it also opened a door to the heavens.

In the past history of the Demon Hunt Squad selection competition, no Demon Hunt Squad member’s final achievement was lower than the sixth level. Moreover, their actual combat power was much stronger than non-Demon Hunt Squad powerhouses of the same level. They were also the most core force of the Temple Alliance.

It was conceivable that as a member of a Demon Hunt Squad, one would definitely receive resource support from the Temple Alliance. The chances of becoming a generation of powerhouse were greatly increased.

Currently, the vast majority of the six great temple high-levels, and even those ninth-level legendary powerhouses, all came from the Demon Hunt Squads.

Any Demon Hunt Squad member could choose to leave the Demon Hunt Squad and take a position in the temple after ten years of performing missions. They were the heroes in the mouths of the people!

Walking into the trial field, Long Haochen’s gaze subconsciously looked towards the front row. They weren’t here early today. At this time, many of the participants who had passed the first two rounds had already arrived.

Long Haochen saw the four people sitting upright in the first row at a glance.

The black-clothed youth from yesterday was still sitting in his position from yesterday, without even changing his attire. It seemed that he didn’t think he needed to put on his armor in advance.

As for the other three people, Long Haochen could only see their backs, and they were all male.

Accurately speaking, professions like knights and warriors had very few outstanding female powerhouses. Currently, in the Knight Temple, only Li Xin was the only female knight who could enter the top thirty-eight.

Today, Long Haochen didn’t meditate, because the number of participants had decreased a lot, and it was very likely that he would be fighting in the first few rounds.

Almost everyone present, including Li Xin, was somewhat nervous emotionally. Most of them were silently praying, praying not to run into the four guys in the first row in today’s competition. Those were fifth-level powerhouses! Meeting them was almost equivalent to losing the opportunity to enter the top ten.

Only Long Haochen was the exception. After sitting down, the first thought that appeared in his mind was that after the competition today, he would be able to see Cai’er, and he could also send her back.

Thinking of this, a hint of warmth appeared in Long Haochen’s light golden eyes.

Li Xin looked at Long Haochen’s calm appearance and thought to herself: “He’s only fourteen years old! How can his mentality be so calm. I’m already in my twenties, could it be that I’m not as good as Haochen’s mentality?” Closing her eyes and allowing herself to calm down, the tension in her heart disappeared a little.
