Chapter 488: Gold Essence Foundation Knight Trial (I)
Seeing Long Haochen’s determined look, Yang Haohan nodded slowly, “Then I will arrange that. But you have to remember one thing. If you cannot pass through this test, you will not be able to take the lower ranked trials in the future. You can only remain in the Temple and train, until you can pass through it, and gain the Epic Tier Gold Essence Foundation Armor. Only then can your task for the ten million contribution points start.”
Long Haochen had a start, feeling faintly as if having fallen in a trap. But as a matter of fact, could he cower before that? This would just cause his fighting spirit to collapse.
“Yes.”
Yang Haohan secretly laughed inside,Little punk, I shall let you act as haughty as you can. In a moment, you will be put in order.
His goal was very simple: to do his utmost to drag Long Haochen’s stay in the Knight Temple for as long as possible, for him to reform his team to undertake missions as late as possible. And in this process, Long Haochen could only increase his strength to resolve the issue. This move aimed to kill two birds with one stone, naturally putting him in good mood.
Yang Haohan called another knight over, and had him take Long Haochen in a training field inside the Knight Temple’s headquarters.
This training field was a lot smaller compared to the Alliance’s training grounds back in Holy City established underground. Also circular, its diameter reached only fifty meters. But Long Haochen absolutely didn’t look down on the training field, because on its roof, its bottom and all the surroundings were strong fluctuations of spiritual energy. In terms of firmness, the training grounds back in Holy City were no match for this place.
After Long Haochen was brought here, that knight left, and only he was left in these training fields.
Clad in the Glorious Holy Armor, Long Haochen directly sat on a side of the training fields, focusing his attention on adjusting his breath and on controlling the fluctuations of spiritual energy inside his body.
Soft thin golden fog was faintly discernible on the surface of his body, appearing dazzling under the reflection of the Glorious Holy Armor. His sparkling and translucent skin seemed to be transporting charges of light. Sitting there, he immediately had the feeling of being assimilated the surrounding environment. Without looking for him with one’s eyes, one would very hardly perceive his existence.
His long eyelashes flashing above his eyes, his handsome face gave off a feeling of extreme peacefulness.
Long Haochen’s wait lasted for close to half an hour, but while sitting here, he didn’t make the slightest movement, and didn’t have the slightest impatience.
The door opened, and a tall knight entered.
This knight was clad in an ordinary full body armor. Clad in a helmet, his face was also hidden, and in his left hand was a very thick tower shield. In his right hand was a two meter long battle hammer. This hammer had a reflecting surface, letting out a golden luster. Be it his shield or his weapon, both were at the Glorious Tier, making it no item of the highest quality.
The instant this tall knight stepped inside the training ground, the space closed between Long Haochen’s eyes opened all of a sudden.
The instant when he opened his eyes, that tall knight stopped his feet. Secretly, he was startled, because the instant he entered the training ground, he unexpectedly didn’t sense the slightest trace of Long Haochen’s presence. But the instant his eyes opened, it gave off the feeling of a sharp blade being unsheathed.
Standing up, Long Haochen used his right fist to beat his chest, paying his respects to the knight in front of him, “Hello. Paying my respects to Sir Gold Essence Foundation Knight.”
The tall knight had a sonorous voice, but somewhat rough sounding, “Hello.”
Long Haochen took a look at the counterpart’s weapon and equipment, “Senior, my equipment seems better than yours. Should I change it?”
The tall knight indifferently replied, “No need. What you will have to do is to use everything you can to defeat me. In the time of this trial, one will not be allowed to use his mount. This aside, there are no other restriction. I won’t start off leniently. Let us start!”
After he finished speaking, this tall knight abruptly took large strides without the slightest pause, charging towards Long Haochen. His steps were large, and when each of them was heard, strong rumbles spreaded in the whole training field. Intense golden flames abruptly ascended in his body, letting out a torrential oppressive force.
Long Haochen’s expression changed greatly. He originally had great expectations for the strength of a Gold Essence Foundation Knight, but the massive threat this tall knight caused him to feel went really beyond his expectations.
The enemy didn’t use any technique and didn’t even use his spiritual wings, but his imposing manner reached a supreme level, and his attacks seemed to carry a crushing oppressive force. He could surely go even faster, but painstakingly maintained a certain rhythm, aiming to optimize his imposing manner to its peak starting from the beginning.
Long Haochen obviously wouldn’t let the enemy reach his goals so easily. His powerful senses told him that if the enemy was left to make such preparations, he would definitely be unable to block his attack.
The extremity of his foot tapped onto the ground, as similar golden flames suddenly ascended around him. But the difference compared to that tall knight was that the golden flames abruptly released by Long Haochen were shot toward his back.
