The first time Long Haochen saw the black-robed youth, he could sense his strength. Even after the appearance of three more rank 5 Knight, including Han Yu, his judgment did not change. This was a kind of intuition towards danger.
When the black-robed youth told Long Haochen that he would not summon his mount, the confidence he exuded was not something a proud person could possess. His deep eyes stared at Long Haochen. From his eyes, Long Haochen could not see any emotions.
As they faced each other, Long Haochen's eyes burned with fighting spirit. Although he was only 14 years old, and his figure could not be compared to the black-robed youth who was clearly over 20 years old, his aura was not inferior at all.
There was a world of difference between the two of them at this moment. Long Haochen was like an incomparably sharp sword, showing off its edge. The rising fighting spirit made him like a volcano that could erupt at any time.
The black-robed youth was as calm as hell, deep like a bottomless abyss, devouring Long Haochen's fighting spirit.
Coincidentally, the referee was still the same one who was in charge of the match between Long Haochen and Han Yu. He shouted in a deep voice, "The match begins."
"My name is Yang Wenzhao. Perhaps, in the near future, you will become a very good opponent for me. " A smile appeared on the black-robed youth's face, and his aura suddenly changed. Just a moment ago, he was still deep and calm, but now, he was so fleeting that Long Haochen could not catch him.
"My name is Long Haochen, and now, I am also your opponent," Long Haochen said in a deep voice, "Before you defeat me, the outcome of the match is still unknown. You can also summon your mount, that is your right. "
Yang Wenzhao shook his head indifferently, "Let's begin." As he spoke, his hands suddenly opened on both sides of his body, and two golden rays shot out from his hands, turning into two identical golden swords. Without a doubt, he also had a storage type magical equipment on him.
Discipline Knight! Long Haochen's pupils contracted slightly. His eyes flickered with a divine light. He also separated his hands, and the Light Sword and Fire Sword instantly appeared in his hands.
That's right, this was a duel between the Punishment Knight. When the dense spiritual energy suddenly erupted, Long Haochen and Yang Wenzhao moved at the same time.
Long Haochen charged at Yang Wenzhao like an arrow. This was the first time he took the initiative to attack since he joined the Monster Hunters Trial.
Faith Aura, Guardian's Grace, and Trueshot Aura. Three buffs from the Guardian Knight instantly appeared. Long Haochen, who was in the form of a Punishment Knight, was the first to use a Guardian Knight skill.
The reason why very few people chose to dual cultivate Protection and Punishment was because there were too many skills for both. Using any skill required the support of spiritual energy. The stronger the cultivation, the stronger the skill, the more spiritual energy consumption. Practicing both Protection and Punishment at the same time would inevitably lead to excessive spiritual energy consumption when continuously using various skills. Moreover, it was very likely that the two skills would not be able to be practiced to perfection.
However, Long Haochen was an exception. His Innate Internal Spiritual Energy was an unprecedented 97 points. This terrifying Innate Internal Spiritual Energy caused him to consume much less spiritual energy than other Knight's when using skills. Not only that, it was also much easier for him to understand all the light attribute skills compared to others.
In the past five years, Long Haochen had studied under Long Hsing-woo and Ye Hua. Behind his outstanding talent, he had also put in a lot of effort. In the entire Haoyue Palace, it was impossible to find a Knight who was more diligent than Long Haochen.
Success required 99% of hard work and 1% of talent. The 1% of talent was the most important, but without hard work, one would not be able to achieve anything. However, Long Haochen had both.
The Lightsaber and the Fire Sword had turned completely white, pure white blades.
According to the rules of the competition, before the battle began, the distance between the two parties was 30 meters. In other words, during the process of the 30 meter charge, Long Haochen used four skills in a row. Although these four skills did not consume a lot of spiritual energy, they added up to more than 150 points. Of course, this was for a normal Knight. The key was the speed at which he used his skills and the connection between them. The Punishment Knight and the Guardian Knight's skills were used interchangeably without any delay.
Not only were the other eight contestants focused on the battle, but even the big shots of the Knights Templars on the rostrum were staring at the battle without blinking.
Just when Long Haochen was about three meters away from Yang Wenzhao, Yang Wenzhao made his move. He took a big step forward with his left foot, and his whole body moved forward with this step. The greatsword in his left hand was still by his side, but the greatsword in his right hand was raised diagonally upwards.
As soon as he made his move, Yang Wenzhao displayed his powerful strength. He did not use any skills, but the blade of his sword spewed out a golden light that was two feet long, as if the greatsword had suddenly increased in length. Because the movement was upward, the sword ray swept across the ground first, leaving a long gully in its wake.
Stop! Long Haochen, who was in the midst of charging forward, suddenly stopped. It was as if his entire body had collided with a wall. His right foot landed heavily on the ground and he fell to the side as if he had lost his balance. Meanwhile, the flaming sword in his left hand struck the ground fiercely, propelling his body to complete a horizontal roll in the air. It was just enough to avoid Yang Wenzhao's attack. The Lightsaber stabbed forward, and the Lunging Stab skill went straight for Yang Wenzhao's chest with an unstoppable momentum.
That's right, against an opponent whose spiritual energy was far superior to his, Long Haochen did not choose to fight head-on, but chose to use a skill.
"Good!" Yang Wenzhao shouted. He did not think that Long Haochen could use such a difficult skill to attack him. He also raised the sword in his left hand, and at the same time, kicked his right foot with his left foot, unexpectedly ending the Sliding Step prematurely. His whole body instantly stopped even more abruptly than Long Haochen's.
"Ding." Long Haochen's Lightsaber collided with the greatsword in Yang Wenzhao's left hand in the air, but Yang Wenzhao was surprised to find that Long Haochen's sword actually did not have much strength behind it. After being raised by the greatsword in his left hand, Long Haochen's whole body borrowed the momentum, and his body spun at an even faster speed. Both swords were raised at the same time, and he slashed at Yang Wenzhao.
Yang Wenzhao did not move, nor did he try to dodge. The greatsword in his hands made a small vibrating motion in the air.
A series of clanging sounds exploded in the air. In the short span of a breath, who knew how many times Long Haochen's attack had collided with Yang Wenzhao's. Long Haochen's two swords were like a huge meat grinder. More importantly, he actually kept borrowing momentum during the collision, using Yang Wenzhao's defense to increase the speed of his own spin. Thus, the frequency of his attacks increased.
Gradually, only a layer of golden light could be seen spreading from Long Haochen's body as he spun, and his figure could no longer be seen clearly.
Yang Wenzhao's face also revealed a trace of surprise. The frequency of vibration on both swords could only continuously increase along with Long Haochen's attacks. However, Long Haochen's attacks became more and more fierce, as if there was no end to them. In this short period of time, he did not know how many swords he had blocked.
He was tricked. This was Yang Wenzhao's first reaction. He immediately understood that Long Haochen was going all out with this attack from the start, and there was no probing at all. For the sake of safety, he actually let Ye Xiwen take the initiative.
On the rostrum, the Saint Knight muttered: "This is the Battle Killing Revolving Sword. It really, really is his inheritance. Unfortunately, his Battle Killing Revolving Sword is still far from being practiced to perfection. Without enough spiritual power, he can't display this self-created Punishment Killing Skill. "
"Puff —" Yang Wenzhao's left hand suddenly stabbed the sword into the ground, and his right wrist instantly shook. A layer of golden sword light burst out from his right hand, forcibly blocking Long Haochen's attack. At the same time, a circle of intense golden light burst out from the ground and fiercely struck Long Haochen's Battle Killing Revolving Sword. It was the Rising Sky Matrix.
The Rising Sky Matrix could not shake off Long Haochen. With the use of the Battle Killing Revolving Sword, Long Haochen's battle intent that had been raised to the extreme continued to erupt, and his condition had reached its peak. Under the rapid rotation, the two swords formed a terrifying vortex around his body with a strong spiritual energy. Even if Yang Wenzhao had liquid spiritual energy, a mere Rising Sky Matrix could not stop Long Haochen.
However, liquid spiritual energy was liquid spiritual energy, and Long Haochen's rapid rotation inevitably slowed down. Immediately afterward, the sword in Yang Wenzhao's left hand that was stabbed into the ground instantly rose up. The liquid spiritual energy around his body rapidly vibrated at a strange frequency, and unexpectedly burst out with a long roar like that of a dragon.
Immediately afterward, in the eyes of the spectators, Yang Wenzhao turned into a golden dragon and soared into the sky, colliding with Long Haochen's Battle Killing Revolving Sword.
Rising Dragon Strike, the Punishment Knight's most powerful rank five attack skill. In the face of the pressure brought by the Battle Killing Revolving Sword, Yang Wenzhao had to use a powerful skill to reverse the situation.
Boom —
The golden dragon turned into a ball of golden light and flew out. It was Yang Wenzhao. When his feet landed, he took three steps back before he could stabilize his body.
On the other side, Long Haochen's rapidly rotating body suddenly stopped. He flipped a few times in the air, and when he landed, he staggered seven or eight steps before he could stabilize himself.
From the changes in the aura of the two, it was obvious that Long Haochen had consumed more energy. Although his Battle Killing Revolving Sword was strong, it also consumed a lot of energy. Moreover, Yang Wenzhao's liquid spiritual energy was tyrannical.
However, what surprised Yang Wenzhao was that just as his feet stabilized, Long Haochen swung his two swords on both sides of his body, and a golden mist instantly rose. Ready!
What a strong will to fight. Even Yang Wenzhao felt the blood in his body churn. He naturally understood that Long Haochen's situation was not better than his, but in this situation, Long Haochen still chose to immediately use his skill.
Over the past few days, Long Haochen had been relying on accumulating power to improve his cultivation and to comprehend the mystery of liquid spiritual power. As he continued to deepen his understanding of this skill, his speed of accumulating power had also increased significantly.
Sudden attack. Yang Wenzhao's choice was the same as that of Han Yu that day. When he saw Ready, he immediately launched a sudden attack without hesitation. His movements were faster and more decisive than Han Yu's. His two swords dragged by his side, and his whole body was covered in a thick golden light as he rushed towards Long Haochen. As his body rushed forward, the golden light became stronger and stronger. The rich liquid spiritual energy made the golden light around his body a bit more viscous.
Long Haochen stood there quietly without moving. Looking at Yang Wenzhao's ferocious charge, his expression did not change at all.
Sudden Stab. Yang Wenzhao chose a simple skill. His goal was only to first interrupt Long Haochen's Ready. From the previous Battle Killing Revolving Sword, he could tell that Long Haochen must have a lot of secret skills on him. Even Yang Wenzhao was jealous of a skill like Battle Killing Revolving Sword. This was not an ability recorded in the Temple League. It must be a self-created skill of a powerful Knight.
Dang — —
Raising his Fire Sword, Divine Guard, Long Haochen only made his move when the Sudden Stab was only half a foot away from him. As the sword in his left hand blocked the opponent's attack, the light sword in his right hand slashed out.
All the spectators could clearly see that when Long Haochen swung the lightsaber in his right hand, a flash of golden light abruptly intensified in just a second. Finally, it transformed into a dazzling golden ball of light. It was the Glorious Sun Slash.
Accumulating power was not completely useless. Even if the accumulating time was very short, there would still be a certain increase in spiritual power. Long Haochen's [Glorious Sun Slash] actually gave people a feeling of moderation. The glaring sunlight also seemed to have softened a lot. The golden color at the core of the [Glorious Sun Slash] even showed signs of solidifying.
Bang —
Yang Wenzhao raised the sword in his left hand and used a simple Pure White Blade to block Long Haochen's Glorious Sun Slash. However, his heart was filled with shock. Because from this Glorious Sun Slash, he could clearly see that Long Haochen had already touched the threshold of liquid spiritual energy.
In fact, from the start of the battle, Yang Wenzhao had not used his full strength. He wanted to see what kind of cultivation this young man, who looked much younger than him, had achieved after defeating Han Yu. In particular, Long Haochen had changed from a Guardian Knight to a Punishment Knight, which greatly aroused his interest. He had absolute confidence that he could defeat Long Haochen, so his attacks were not fierce and were mainly probing. However, the more he probed, the more shocked he became. He had used his full strength in that strike just now. Otherwise, even with his cultivation, the ordinary Pure White Blade wouldn't have been able to win against the Glorious Sun Slash.
Pu. Long Haochen took a step back, but Yang Wenzhao didn't move. However, the second ball of intense sunlight had already lit up. It was still Glorious Sun Slash.
At this moment, Long Haochen, who had a rather delicate figure, actually revealed a heroic expression on his face. Following closely behind the Light Sword, he activated the Divine Guard and the Fire Sword slashed out with a Glorious Sun Slash.
What a fast combination. It must be known that Glorious Sun Slash was the most tyrannical rank 4 skill.
Boom —
This time, Yang Wenzhao didn't dare to be careless. He raised both his swords and blocked Long Haochen's attack. But this time, Long Haochen didn't retreat.
His feet seemed slow, but there was a special rhythm to it. Long Haochen's light sword and fire sword danced. Under the shocked gazes of the surrounding spectators, Long Haochen's figure moved continuously and sent 18 Glorious Sun Slashes at Yang Wenzhao.
Every attack was powerful and heavy. More importantly, with every attack, Long Haochen's aura would increase. That powerful aura, which was filled with the confidence of victory, actually suppressed Yang Wenzhao to the point where he felt like he couldn't use his full strength.
But Yang Wenzhao was indeed powerful. He stood in place, the swords in his hands flying, and blocked Long Haochen's 18 Glorious Sun Slashes without taking a step back.
"Awesome!" Long Haochen shouted. As he shouted, his body rapidly retreated. This was because when Yang Wenzhao blocked his last attack, he used Divine Block. The golden light of Light's Vengeance was transferred to his two-handed swords, and he crossed them in front of the retreating Long Haochen.
Long Haochen, who was retreating, suddenly stopped and crossed his swords in front of him, Divine Block.
Amidst the roar, Long Haochen's feet on the ground moved three feet back, and only then did he completely dispel his opponent's attack. He instantly raised the light sword in his right hand, and a strong holy aura appeared along with the white light. Sacred Sword.
The Sacred Sword skill itself needed to be charged. At least, with Long Haochen's current cultivation, he needed to prepare for several seconds before he could use this skill.
This time, he used Divine Block to block his opponent's attack, and then directly converted Light's Vengeance into a Sacred Sword skill. Just from this instantaneous transformation, one could see how astonishing his inheritance was. This technique was also not recorded in Knights Templars.
"Good." Yang Wenzhao suddenly smiled. He did not take advantage of the fact that Long Haochen could only block with one sword to attack. Instead, he stretched out his arms, and the same holy aura was released from his body. The difference was that both of his broadswords were shining with a dazzling holy light.
Obviously, he wanted to use Dual Sacred Swords to fight against Long Haochen's Single Sacred Sword.
"Hmph." Long Haochen snorted coldly, completely ignoring Yang Wenzhao. He slowly raised his head and looked at the light sword that was shining with holy light. A strange red flashed in his eyes.
With his perception, how could he not feel that Yang Wenzhao was not fighting with all his strength? For Long Haochen, this was even more unacceptable than defeat.
"Hmm?" On the rostrum, the first person to notice that something was wrong was Holy Knight Long Han Kyu. He suddenly stood up and said with a surprised expression, "This little guy really dares to use everything. He even knows the rank seven Temple Knight's Sacrifice skill. Is Xingyu crazy? Is he not afraid of spoiling things through excessive enthusiasm? "From Long Haochen's performance these days, he had clearly guessed where his inheritance came from.
Sacrifice, Protection, and Punishment were all skills that a Knight could learn. The rank seven Temple Knight's Secret Technique.
Of course, Han Kyu did not know that Long Haochen's Innate Internal Spiritual Energy was 97. Why would Long Hsing-woo harm his son? After careful consideration, he cast a seal on the Inheritance Ring.
Yang Wenzhao was a real rank five Knight. Naturally, it was much easier for him to use the holy sword than Long Haochen. He was the closest to Long Haochen. When Han Kyu exclaimed on the rostrum, he also noticed that something was wrong with Long Haochen.
What is he doing? Yang Wenzhao's heart skipped a beat. He did not dare to wait any longer. He could faintly feel the presence of danger.
Suddenly, Yang Wenzhao's speed increased by 30%. When he sensed danger, he didn't hesitate to use his full strength. He made a prompt decision.
Dual swords, Holy Radiance Cross Slash.
In the process of the attack, Yang Wenzhao swung both swords at the same time. The cross slash from the holy sword was Holy Radiance Cross Slash. This could be considered a combination skill. Long Haochen had once used the holy sword to break through the rank five Knight Han Yu's defense. One could only imagine the power of the Holy Radiance Cross Slash from the dual swords.
A milky white cross-shaped blade of light filled with an incomparable holy aura headed straight for Long Haochen. Wherever it passed, a faint fragrance wafted through the air. This was the power of a skill that was on the verge of rank six.
At this moment, a boundless golden-red light filled with sorrow, despair, and sharpness erupted from Long Haochen's body.
This golden-red light was definitely not a fusion of light and fire. At this moment, Long Haochen was like a Knight facing countless powerful enemies. His allies had all died, and he was alone and helpless.
The conviction to die ignited the purest fighting spirit and blood in his body. The golden-red light was filled with the element of madness.
Fire Sword horizontally blocked. Divine Block.
The sharp golden-red light instantly turned the Divine Block into a whole. It was as if a golden-red barrier had covered Long Haochen's body.
One must know that the Divine Block was better at blocking physical attacks. It was difficult to fully defend against energy attacks. However, right now, Shi Feng was able to do it.
Boom —
The golden-red light shone even brighter. Long Haochen blocked the Holy Radiance Cross Slash without taking a step back. He only spat out a mouthful of blood.
He took a step forward, and like a huge ball of golden light, he charged straight at Yang Wenzhao. The light sword in his right hand slashed downwards. It was the blood-colored holy sword.
Yang Wenzhao did not expect his Holy Radiance Cross Slash to be neutralized just like that. At the same time, he recognized the skill that Long Haochen was using.
Sacrifice? He could actually use Sacrifice. He actually dared to use Sacrifice. Was he not afraid of dying from exhaustion?
Sacrifice was a skill that the Knight could use to put his life on the line. Sacrifice himself to protect his comrades. Sacrifice himself to die with the enemy.
In order to use this skill, one must first be prepared to die. One must understand the Sacrifice of the Knight's Ten Great Rules in order to learn it. Once used, one's blood and spiritual energy would instantly fuse as one, exploding with strength that far exceeded one's original cultivation. However, the duration was very short. If one was not careful, one's blood would dry up and he would die. At the very least, one's vitality would be greatly damaged. From Yang Wenzhao's point of view, this was just a competition. Long Haochen actually used Sacrifice.
Why? For the Knight's glory. When Long Haochen felt that Yang Wenzhao was not using his full strength, the stubbornness in his heart, the desire for victory, and the humiliation of being looked down upon made him use this skill that he had never comprehended before.
"Keng — —" Yang Wenzhao also used Divine Block to block the blood-colored holy sword, but his body was forced to retreat five steps.
He could clearly feel that within the blood-colored holy sword, there was a kind of terrifying will that he could not understand. In terms of spiritual energy, even after using Sacrifice, Long Haochen was at most on par with him. However, this terrifying will made Yang Wenzhao feel as if his cultivation was being suppressed.
At this moment, a milky white light shone on Long Haochen's chest. Immediately after, a red light flashed in his eyes, and the same red light appeared on Yang Wenzhao's body.
The Knight's common skill, Lock. A rank six skill.
"Saint Spiritual Stove." On the platform, Han Kyu sucked in a breath of cold air. With a glance, he could see that Long Haochen used the Saint Spiritual Stove to activate Lock under the state of Sacrifice.
Compared to [Ready], it was also a support skill, but Lock was an extremely practical ability. Any Knight who cultivated to the Radiance Knight realm could learn it. Once the opponent was locked, all of the Knight's attack skills would automatically chase after the target. Even if it was a straight line skill like Charge or Assault, it would cause a tracking effect due to Lock.
Glittering with a golden-red radiance, Long Haochen soared into the air at the same time he used Lock. He brandished his two swords and circled his body to attack Yang Wenzhao.
Holy Sword version of Battle Killing Revolving Sword, and under the effect of Sacrifice.
With Long Haochen's current cultivation, he could only use Sacrifice for 10 seconds. Therefore, he didn't waste any time and immediately used his strongest attack.
A dragon roar sounded almost at the same time. Facing the Sacrifice skill, how could Yang Wenzhao be careless? He used Rising Dragon Strike again. He could see that the Battle Killing Revolving Sword was at its weakest at the beginning, and as time passed, its power would continuously increase.
From Divine Block to Rising Dragon Strike, Yang Wenzhao's skill switching speed was also unparalleled.
Boom —
The same skill, but the result was completely different. The moment the dragon roar from Rising Dragon Strike clashed with the sacrificial version of Battle Killing Circular Slash, Rising Dragon Strike was forcefully smashed back to the ground. On top of that, Battle Killing Circular Slash was the first to descend after him.
So strong. Yang Wenzhao was shocked. Facing an opponent whose cultivation was lower or equal to his, he had never been forced to this extent.
