Chapter 579: Challenge (III)

The distance from the Myriad Beast Mountain Pass to the Southern Mountain Pass wasn’t far. Sima Xian having originally been part of the team’s main force so far, his cultivation was bound to have grown tremendously. With his addition, Long Haochen’s group had just gathered, reaching its peak state.

Having been cooperating together as a group of seven so far, they were bound to have a great loss of strength without Sima. And the same went for their morale.

Originally, the fastest should be Cai’er, but after her loss of memories, Long Haochen really wasn’t at ease letting her go look for Sima Xian. Han Yu being steady, and with the full flight speed of Star King satisfying, having him go was naturally the most fitting. On the way back, Star King would carry the two at the same time, and since all were light users, they could use their spiritual energy as supply to enable Star King to accelerate.

After Han Yu left, Long Haochen returned to the room, and directly asked Chen Ying’er, “Ying’er, tell us about your current abilities and what your grandfather can do in battle. Know yourself and know your enemy to then emerge victorious in a hundred battles out of a hundred.”

Chen Ying’er looked at Long Haochen with some worries, “Boss, do we really stand a chance? Grandfather is really too powerful, I’m afraid that...”

Long Haochen showed a laugh, “Have some more self-confidence. We are currently in no way weak! And it’s only by confronting powerhouses of higher level that we can have possibilities of progressing. Although the gap separating us currently from Temple Head Chen is very large, I believe that as long as we put forth everything we have and show sufficient strength, he shouldn’t make things difficult for us by preventing us from leaving.”

Chen Ying’er’s eyes lit up, “You’re right. Grandfather is after all an elder. If we can resist his attacks for some time, maybe he will be at ease.”

Nearby, Lin Xin showed a mischevous laughter, “Ying’er, forget about the rest. After the test your grandfather gives us starts, you must convince him to not use his domain against us. As long as it doesn’t come out, we definitely have a chance. Let me tell you that Boss managed to kill the forty-ninth ranked demon god, Demon God of Clear Vision. And a short time ago, we also managed to resist in front of an undead powerhouse whose spiritual energy definitely exceeded 200,000, relying on the Conjoined Spiritual Boost, helping Haoyue achieve his evolution. In a situation where your grandfather doesn’t use any equipment, he may not necessarily manage to defeat us.”

Chen Ying’er asked in a start, “Boss, is this title of Saint Knight Head for real?”

Wang Yuanyuan giggled as she replied, “Of course it’s for real. Do you think Captain could be just talk? He has been formally appointed as Provisional Saint Knight Head by the Knight Temple. I estimate that our boss will become a Divine Knight in just a few years.”

Long Haochen showed a bitter smile, “Don’t be too hopeful. Temple Head Chen has plentiful battle experiences, and will be even more powerful than all the enemies we have faced before. At the time we face demons, we can at least restrain their darkness element to some extent thanks to my light attribute, and in Haoyue’s world, his aura managed to suppress them to some degree as well. But against Temple Head Chen, we won’t have any advantages of such kind at all.”

“Who said we won’t! I’ll be there!” Chen Ying’er suddenly hopped, quite proud of herself.

“You? Don’t tell me this summoner who used to be unable to summon at all could have become reliable?” Lin Xin asked in a shock.

Chen Ying’er unhappily replied, “Don’t be complacent, has-drugs-bro, come to fight a duel if you have the confidence. This lady will surely show you no chance at all, do you still have some confidence?” Speaking such words, she showed her fist to Lin Xin. With her small arm, this didn’t have any persuasive force, causing everyone else to burst out in laughter.

The only one who wasn’t laughing was Long Haochen. With a nod, he responded, “Alright. Ying’er, if you can, go find a training field to duel Lin Xin.”

“Eh? Is that for real?! Boss, that’s no good. What if I turn McDull into roasted pig barbecue. Ying’er will have a real grudge.” Lin Xin laughed mischeviously.

Long Haochen shot him a glare, “Don’t be too complacent. After two years passed, your cultivation grew, so how could Ying’er not have made some progress as well? So can you find a fitting training ground, Ying’er?”

Chen Ying’er showed in her gleaming eyes, a quite malicious look shooting at Lin Xin, with a nod, “Of course I can find it. Has-drugs-bro, in a bit this lady will show you what’s a terrible bully.”

Lin Xin curled on the sofa, and made a shaking motion. In a cheap thrilled voice, he declared, “How scary! I’m so afraid! Unreliable beauty Ying’er, I forgot to tell you that the great me has already learnt the use of offensive magic. That’s not just Fire Curse anymore.”

Chen Ying’er stared blankly, “You learnt the use of offensive magic? How about your original vow?”
