Surprisingly, this Fourth Knight wasn’t wearing any armor. His face held a clear sense of arrogance as he scrutinized Long Haochen across the arena.

“I heard you’ve been winning by relying on charge-up skills these past two days? I advise you not to use such trash skills in front of me, or you’re sure to lose miserably,” the Fourth Knight said with a hint of disdain.

Long Haochen replied calmly, “There are no trash skills, only trash people.”

The Fourth Knight’s eyes narrowed, and he said powerfully, “Very well.”

Because a Fifth-Order Knight was competing, the referee was replaced by a Seventh-Order Temple Knight. This referee looked to be middle-aged, with a build as imposing as a small mountain. He snorted coldly, “Enough with the idle chatter. This isn’t a place for you to wag your tongues. Begin the match.”

Just like the previous two matches, with the referee’s call to begin, a golden light mist immediately arose around Long Haochen’s body. It was still a charge-up.

A cold glint flashed in the Fourth Knight’s eyes, clearly revealing a hint of anger. He didn’t summon his mount like the other knights. Instead, he slammed his greatsword against his shield with a resounding clang, and his entire body shot forward like he was sliding along the ground, rushing towards Long Haochen in an instant.

Assault, a Fifth-Order Knight skill. With the support of powerful spiritual energy, it could unleash a speed faster than a charge, and it was also more stable.

At the same time as the assault, a thick golden light also bloomed from the Fourth Knight’s body. This golden light wasn’t like Long Haochen’s, which emanated outwards. Instead, it was completely internalized, like a thin layer of armor covering him. This was the effect produced by liquidized spiritual energy, and this transformation also appeared on the weapon in his hand.

The thirty-meter distance was covered almost in the blink of an eye. The greatsword, glowing with intense golden light, slashed directly at Long Haochen’s head. He was using his actions to tell Long Haochen that charge-up was useless against him, and he even disdained summoning his mount.

Bang—

The Shield of Radiance accurately blocked the path of the greatsword. Amid the loud noise, Long Haochen took a step back, but the light of Retribution of Light also shone on his body, and the light sword in his hand instantly slashed out.

Although the charge-up time wasn’t long, combined with Retribution of Light, his sword strike was equally powerful. However, Long Haochen didn’t use any skills at this time.

A disdainful sneer appeared on the Fourth Knight’s face. His greatsword was indeed blocked by Divine Obstruction, but just as Long Haochen swung his sword, he had already activated another skill: Shield Block Charge.

With the heavy shield in front, he violently crashed into Long Haochen’s slashing greatsword.

Boom—

A surge of violent explosive force erupted almost instantly. Long Haochen looked like he had been hit by an elephant, and he was sent flying backwards off his feet with a muffled groan.

This was the difference between the Fourth and Fifth Orders. Although Long Haochen was already a Ninth-Level Great Knight, against a Fifth-Order Knight with liquid spiritual energy, he had no chance in the contest of spiritual power.

Assault. Although the Fourth Knight was full of arrogance, he certainly had the capital to be proud. The skills were connected in perfect rhythm. While knocking Long Haochen away, he had already launched another assault. The golden light on his greatsword flashed, and a Light Slash Sword attack was launched towards Long Haochen.

The Light Slash Sword, executed with liquidized spiritual energy, was like an extension of the blade. It was impossible to tell that it was an energy transformed from spiritual power. It directly struck the Shield of Radiance that Long Haochen hastily raised in front of him.

Unstable, and not even having landed yet, Long Haochen had no way to use Divine Obstruction. He only had time to use a Holy Light Infusion Shield to assist with defense.

Boom! The Holy Light Infusion Shield shattered, and Long Haochen spat out a mouthful of blood. His whole body slammed hard into the ground, and even the Shield of Radiance flew away.

The Fourth Knight didn’t rush to pursue, but coldly swept a glance at the resting area, as if to say, “See? This is the strength of the Fifth Order.”

With a sudden flip, Long Haochen stood up from the ground, his chest rising and falling rapidly, bloodstains obvious at the corners of his mouth, clearly showing he was badly injured. But he didn’t dare to pick up his Shield of Radiance, and stared warily at the Fourth Knight.

A hint of disdain appeared at the corner of the Fourth Knight’s mouth. “I said just now that you shouldn’t use such trash skills as charge-up in front of me. In the face of absolute power, everything is futile. Concede, and get out of here.”

Because of his injury, Long Haochen’s face was noticeably pale, but he shook his head firmly without hesitation. But his body swayed slightly, and he quickly stuck his light sword into the ground to steady himself, while releasing a white Healing Light on himself.

The Fourth Knight’s eyes widened. “You won’t shed tears until you see the coffin? I’ll grant your wish.” This time, he didn’t even use Assault, but walked towards Long Haochen step by step. The intense golden light lit up again, and he carried his greatsword directly on his shoulder. With each step he took, he left a clear footprint on the ground.

Long Haochen tightly grasped the hilt of the light sword, supporting his body, but his gaze was fixed on the Fourth Knight. The determination and persistence in his eyes didn’t change in the slightest because of his injury.

The burly referee kept a close eye on the two. Once the Fourth Knight threatened Long Haochen’s life, he would immediately intervene.

In the resting area, Li Xin had already grabbed Ye Hua’s arm nervously. “Teacher, quickly stop him. That bastard will kill Haochen. Haochen is already injured.”

Ye Hua’s hands were already clenched into fists. “Believe in him. He will win.”

At this time, the Fourth Knight had already walked to within three meters of Long Haochen. The greatsword in his hand had slowly risen. He was deliberately slowing down, because he most liked to see the helpless look in his opponent’s eyes in the face of his powerful strength.

Unfortunately, he didn’t see such an expression on Long Haochen’s face. From beginning to end, there was only unwavering determination in Long Haochen’s eyes.

“It’s over.” The Fourth Knight was obviously very unhappy with Long Haochen’s persistence. The greatsword came down horizontally, heading straight for Long Haochen. Due to the rules of the competition, he didn’t dare to kill him after all. But he had absolute confidence that this sword would make Long Haochen lose his fighting ability.

At this moment, a sharp and cutting edge burst out in Long Haochen’s clear, light golden eyes.

This sharpness had appeared when he faced the black-clothed youth yesterday, but it was the first time it had appeared in the selection competition.

Buzz—, a circle of brilliant golden light suddenly rushed upward from the ground around Long Haochen’s body. It was the Punishing Knight skill, Ascending Sky Formation.

The greatsword, which was being swung down horizontally, was suddenly impacted by the Ascending Sky Formation, and its falling speed slowed down for a moment. Then, another layer of light shield burst out from Long Haochen’s body, a Holy Light Shield.

He had been brewing these two skills for a long time, preparing from the moment he stood up. Facing a Fifth-Order Knight with a mount, Long Haochen knew that his chances were very small. Therefore, he could only endure and wait for an opportunity. And luck was on his side, as the proud Fourth Knight hadn’t summoned his mount.

When Long Haochen was in Haoyue City, he practiced with Ye Hua, a Sky Knight, every day. How could he not be able to withstand a round of attacks from a Fifth-Order Knight? He was indeed injured, but that was because he hadn’t used his full strength at all. It was precisely the combination of patience and feigning weakness that led to the opportunity before him.

Explode, Hao Chen.

Long Haochen: “Explode, all kinds of tickets.”
