“Tonight is definitely worth celebrating. I’ll treat you to a good meal.” Ye Hua’s gentle voice sounded as he walked in from outside. He was in a very good mood. Long Haochen entering the top ten was his goal, but he didn’t expect even Li Xin to make it. This was a huge honor for the Knight Division of Hao Yue City!

Many others were equally excited. Except for the Warrior Temple, the other five temples had all determined their top ten contestants.

Lin Xin was happily sipping red wine in his luxurious hotel room, savoring the rich fruit aroma and the gentle tartness, feeling almost ethereal.

Yesterday, his miraculous magic control had stunned all the participating mages. There were sixteen mages who entered today’s fourth round of competition, so both a main competition and an additional competition were held to determine the top ten.

The first round of matchups determined the top six. Lin Xin’s opponent, upon being drawn against him, conceded without hesitation. After all, there was still a chance to enter the top ten through the additional competition, and no one wanted to clash head-on with such a powerful magic controller. Therefore, Lin Xin entered the top six without bloodshed and qualified for the finals, becoming a prospective Demon Hunt Squad member.

Equally excited was a certain bald man. Although his appearance caused some chaos in the Priest Temple’s preliminary round, and new rules were hastily drafted, this competition had already begun and could not be changed. Therefore, the bald man broke through with his strong and violent performance. Not only did he enter the top ten, but because the number of participants in the Priest Temple was small, he had already entered the top three. Moreover, based on the current situation, no one could compete with him for the title of First Priest.

On the fifth day of the preliminary round, the atmosphere in the Holy Alliance Grand Trial Arena had become much more relaxed. Except for the Warrior Temple, all six temples had already determined their top ten. What remained was just the ranking competition. The preliminary rankings for each temple were more of an honor for the participants. Although high rankings would also earn some rewards, they were mostly in the form of money. Only the top three would receive a Spirit-Magic level equipment. This was a method used by the Temple Alliance to encourage Demon Hunt Squads to complete tasks. If the competition rewards were too high, wouldn’t they become lazy when completing tasks in the future?

The rest area of the Knight Trial Arena seemed a little deserted. Only the last ten contestants remained, and even with their accompanying instructors, there were fewer than twenty people.

The greatest gain from this Demon Hunt Squad Selection Competition was not those main cities, but the unknown Hao Yue City. A small Hao Yue Branch Temple actually produced two outstanding young knights who entered the top ten. This was unprecedented and a great honor for the Knight Branch Temple of Hao Yue City. Therefore, even Ye Hua, with his icy personality, looked much better today than usual.

“You two don’t need to care too much about the upcoming ranking competition. The finals are where the real significance lies. Conserving your strength is more important.”

Li Xin nodded repeatedly as she listened to Ye Hua. At this time, her spirited and pretty face still occasionally showed a silly smile. Being able to enter the top ten and become a Demon Hunt Squad member was already her greatest gain. It meant that she might become a high-ranking member of the Knight Temple in the future, and it also meant that she could touch a higher level of the Knight world. She had never thought about getting any higher ranking.

Long Haochen was silent, looking at his teacher and thinking for a moment, he said, “Teacher, if I can meet that person, I hope to fight him with all my strength.”

Ye Hua asked doubtfully, “Is it really necessary?”

Long Haochen nodded without hesitation, “Teacher, fighting with the strong can better stimulate my potential. The battle with Han Yu that day was of great help to me.”

Ye Hua pondered for a moment, “Alright, since you’ve decided, I won’t stop you, but you have to do what you can. You will have opportunities to face other professional powerhouses in the finals later.”

“Okay.” Long Haochen answered. He didn’t tell Ye Hua that his cultivation was gradually approaching the fifth rank. At this time, he needed to stimulate his own potential through battles, and also stimulate his inspiration through constant battles, so as to break through the bottleneck.

Long Xingyu was the strongest Retribution Knight in the world. Although he had only taught Long Haochen for a little over two years, he almost imparted all his life’s cultivation experience to Long Haochen. The most important point was to tell him that whenever he encountered a bottleneck, challenging opponents stronger than himself was the most favorable opportunity for a breakthrough.

Long Haochen also kept his father’s words firmly in his mind, and it was tested in actual combat. Whenever he faced a strong enemy, the speed of his spiritual power cultivation would increase significantly, and the application and mastery of his skills would evolve accordingly. Moreover, constantly challenging the strong could also make his will more determined.

At this time, the draw had already begun. Long Haochen’s eyes fell directly on the three fifth-rank knights in the first row. He slowly took a deep breath, his eyes firm, his heart like a rock, sitting there quietly. Others were praying not to encounter a fifth-rank opponent, but he desperately hoped that he could collide with such a powerhouse.

“Number one, number ninety-seven.” In the air, two huge numbers gradually became clear. At the moment these numbers appeared, a flash of light burst out in Long Haochen’s eyes, and he stood up with a whoosh. His originally gentle eyes almost instantly became sharp.

A single-digit number. Without a doubt, he was facing another fifth-rank powerhouse.

Those who could remain here were all people with firm will, but at this time, those fourth-rank knights looked at Long Haochen with strange eyes.

Encountering fifth-rank opponents in two consecutive matches, his luck was really too…

In the first row, a young man slowly stood up, turned around slowly, and looked at Long Haochen. This number one contestant was none other than the black-clothed youth who had been challenged by Long Haochen’s gaze that day? He was also the one who posed the greatest threat to Long Haochen among all the contestants.

Their eyes collided in the air, and their eyes became focused at the same time.

After the number one knight made a gesture of invitation to Long Haochen, he took the lead to stride into the trial arena. The sharp spiritual power fluctuations rose and erupted as he stepped into the trial arena step by step.

At this time, Ye Hua didn’t remind Long Haochen anything anymore. He would never let his emotions affect Long Haochen. From Long Haochen, he saw an overwhelming fighting spirit for the first time. Even when facing Han Yu before, such a strong fighting spirit had never appeared.

In the corner of the trial arena, Han Yu stood there quietly. He had arrived early in the morning. No matter how unwilling he was in his heart, his path for the next five years could not be changed. At this time, he hoped that Long Haochen could defeat all his opponents, and at the same time, he wanted to see just how talented this fourteen-year-old genius knight that his grandfather spoke of really was.

Slowly walking into the trial arena, Long Haochen wasn’t very strong, but his steps were extremely heavy. With each step he took, his own momentum would rise a bit. His eyes were like knives, staring at the black-clothed youth who was already standing in the center of the arena, looking at him with burning eyes.

“Do you have a mount?” The black-clothed youth asked quietly.

Long Haochen shook his head, not hiding anything, and said truthfully, “Not yet.”

The black-clothed youth nodded, “Okay, then I won’t summon a mount either, and I’ll fight you fairly.”

The same behavior, spoken from the mouth of this black-clothed youth, Long Haochen didn’t feel arrogance, but confidence.
