When Long Haochen first saw the black-clad youth, he sensed his strength. Even after three more fifth-rank participating knights, including Han Yu, appeared, his initial assessment remained unchanged. It was a gut feeling for danger.

When the black-clad youth told Long Haochen that he would also refrain from summoning his mount, the powerful self-confidence emanating from within was not something an arrogant person could possess. His deep eyes stared intently at Long Haochen, from which Long Haochen couldn’t discern any emotion.

Facing each other, the fighting spirit in Long Haochen’s eyes blazed fiercely. Although he was only fourteen, making his physique incomparable to the clearly over twenty-year-old black-clad youth, he didn’t lose out in terms of aura.

The two exuded vastly different qualities at this moment. Long Haochen was like an incredibly sharp sword, its brilliance fully exposed, his constantly rising fighting spirit making him like a volcano ready to erupt at any moment.

The black-clad youth, on the other hand, was as steadfast as a prison, as deep as a bottomless abyss, swallowing Long Haochen’s fighting spirit.

Coincidentally, the referee was still the same one who had officiated Long Haochen’s battle against Han Yu. He said in a deep voice, “The match begins.”

“My name is Yang Wenzhao. Perhaps, in the near future, you will become a worthy opponent,” the black-clad youth said with a smile. His aura suddenly changed, shifting from deep and steady to elusive, leaving Long Haochen unable to grasp him.

“My name is Long Haochen, and I am your opponent now,” Long Haochen replied solemnly. “Until you defeat me, the outcome is not yet known. You are also free to summon your mount; it is your right.”

Yang Wenzhao calmly shook his head. “Let’s begin.” As he spoke, he abruptly spread his hands to the sides, and two golden rays seemed to burst from his hands, transforming into two identical golden greatswords. Undoubtedly, he also possessed a storage-type magical item.

A Retribution Knight! Long Haochen’s pupils slightly contracted, a divine light flashing in his eyes. He similarly spread his hands, and the Light Sword and Fire Sword instantly appeared in his grasp.

Yes, this was a duel between Retribution Knights. As the intense spiritual energy suddenly erupted, Long Haochen and Yang Wenzhao moved simultaneously.

Long Haochen charged towards Yang Wenzhao like an arrow. This was the first time since the Demon Hunt Squad selection that he had taken the initiative to attack.

Faith Aura, Guardian’s Favor, and Strength Aura, three Guardian Knight enhancement skills, appeared instantly. Long Haochen, fighting as a Retribution Knight, was the first to use Guardian Knight skills.

The reason why so few people chose to dual-cultivate Guardian and Retribution was the sheer number of skills involved. Casting any skill requires spiritual energy support, and the stronger the cultivation, the more powerful the skill, the greater the spiritual energy consumption. Cultivating both Guardian and Retribution would inevitably lead to excessive spiritual energy consumption when constantly casting various skills. Moreover, trying to learn both might prevent one from mastering either set of skills.

But Long Haochen was an exception. His innate spiritual energy was an unprecedented ninety-seven points. This terrifying innate spiritual energy meant that he consumed far less spiritual energy when using skills than other knights. Not only that, but he also found it easier to comprehend all Light-attribute skills than others.

For five years, Long Haochen had studied under Long Xingyu and Ye Hua, and behind his outstanding talent, he had put in tremendous effort. Throughout the entire Haoyue Branch, one could not find a knight more diligent than Long Haochen.

Success requires ninety-nine percent effort and one percent talent. Of these, the one percent talent is the most important, but without effort, nothing can be achieved. Long Haochen possessed both.

The Light Sword and Fire Sword had completely turned white, pure white blades.

According to the competition rules, the two combatants started thirty meters apart. This meant that Long Haochen used four skills consecutively during this thirty-meter charge. Although the spiritual energy consumption of these four skills was not very large individually, it added up to more than one hundred and fifty. Of course, this was for the average knight. The key was his speed and coordination in casting the skills; the skills of Retribution Knight and Guardian Knight were used in conjunction without the slightest hesitation.

Not only were the other eight participants intently watching the match, but even the important figures of the Knight Sacred Hall on the podium were staring intently at the arena.

Just as Long Haochen was about a zhang (approximately 3.3 meters) away from him, Yang Wenzhao moved. His left foot took a large step forward, and his entire body slid forward with this step. The greatsword in his left hand remained at his side, while the greatsword in his right hand made a slanting upward sweeping motion.

With just one move, Yang Wenzhao demonstrated his strength. He didn’t use any skills, but the blade emitted a golden sword aura that was two chi (approximately 0.66 meters) long, as if the greatsword had suddenly increased in length. Because the motion was upward, the sword aura first swept across the ground, leaving a long gully.

Pause! Long Haochen’s body suddenly stopped in the middle of his charge, as if he had collided with a wall. His right foot landed heavily, and he fell sideways as if losing his balance. His left-hand Fire Sword struck the ground heavily, propelling his body into a roll in the air, perfectly avoiding Yang Wenzhao’s sweep. The Light Sword thrust forward, the Thrust skill carrying an indomitable aura straight towards Yang Wenzhao’s chest.

Yes, facing an opponent with far superior spiritual energy, Long Haochen did not choose to fight head-on but opted for skill.

“Good!” Yang Wenzhao shouted loudly. He didn’t expect Long Haochen to be able to use such a difficult technique to launch an attack against him. His left-hand sword also swept, and at the same time, his left foot kicked his right foot, actually ending the slide early. His entire body stopped abruptly more suddenly than Long Haochen.

“Clang.” Long Haochen’s Light Sword collided with Yang Wenzhao’s left-hand greatsword. Yang Wenzhao was surprised to find that Long Haochen’s sword didn’t have much force. His left-hand greatsword swept him, and Long Haochen used the momentum to spin his body at a faster speed. Both swords were swung up at the same time, slashing towards Yang Wenzhao.

Yang Wenzhao didn’t move, nor did he try to dodge. The greatswords in his hands made a slight vibrating motion in the air.

A series of clanging sounds exploded in the air. In just one breath, it was unknown how many times Long Haochen’s attack collided with Yang Wenzhao’s. Long Haochen’s swords were like a giant meat grinder. More importantly, he was constantly borrowing momentum from the collisions, using Yang Wenzhao’s defensive force to increase his own rotation speed, thus making his attack frequency even faster.

Gradually, only a layer of golden halo could be seen spreading from the spinning Long Haochen. His figure was no longer visible at all.

A look of surprise appeared on Yang Wenzhao’s face. The frequency of vibration on his swords could only follow Long Haochen’s attack and continuously increase in force. However, Long Haochen’s attack became more and more fierce, seemingly endless. In this short period of time, he had already blocked countless swords.
