Chapter 688: Starlight Divine Saint Knight (I)

Chen Ying’er didn’t have an easy match, after terminating her Domain of Extreme Ice, her body swayed slightly as she strolled out from the stage.

The summoners from the Spiritual Temple were all stupefied by that match. So, it was actually possible for a summoner to use such means. This was the very first domain to accomplish such a feat in the Spiritual Temple; even Chen Hongyu’s Beast Emperor Domain was far from comparing.

Chen Ying’er used her own strength to prove Sanshui’s previous statement. Indeed, at her level, Sanshui was really in no way her opponent.

Bright Glimmer of Hope gradually gained more and more approval from the Six Great Temples’ powerhouses.

The one with the deepest impression was Li Zhengzhi, who originally had believed Long Haochen to be the only really outstanding one in the crew, with at most only Cai’er being remarkable too. But, from the previous battle, he could see that their other members did not fall behind either! Chen Ying’er and Wang Yuanyuan both wielded domains, and greatly powerful ones, causing Zhengzhi to conclude that even he would undoubtedly need to expend massive ressources to beat them.

The tournament went on: after this round, only twenty-four more people were left. The battles were especially spectacular: Chen Ying’er and Lin Chen’s battles were not the only bright spots. The later matches were brilliant and varied because the contestants were becoming more and more powerful. Domains frequently appeared in the stadium, and the spectacle was the most satisfying to the spectators. How would they witness such great strengths without the Temples’ Great Gathering?

Amongst Bright Glimmer of Hope, Han Yu lost, Bright Glimmer of Hope having finally exhausted its good luck when he came upon Chen Ying’er’s grandfather, the head of the Spiritual Temple Chen Hongyu. In front of the powerful Beast Emperor Domain, he still managed to last for over ten minutes before getting defeated, and his comrade, a Demonic Eye Tyrant also left a very deep impression, being a powerhouse at the peak of the eighth step, blessed with powerful mental suppression and control, even greatly counteracting the effects of the Beast Emperor Domain. But, unfortunately, the Demonic Eye Tyrant would need to make an extraordinary encounter to possibly be able to evolve further. Zhang Fangfang, Han Yu, Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi all faced the difficulty of having mounts that would hardly evolve to the ninth step.

By chance, Zhang Fangfang, Lin Xin, Sima Xian, and Wang Yuanyuan also achieved victory against their opponents, clearing the third round smoothly.

Amongst Bright Glimmer of Hope, only Long Haochen and Cai’er were left to participate, only four matches being left in this third round.

Right now, the calm look maintained so far on Long Haochen’s face had a slight change. It wasn’t an impossible thing to be drawn against a teammate in this individual competition, especially when only eight people remained, so Cai’er and him had fair odds of clashing against each other.

Thinking of this, Long Haochen unconsciously reminisced a scene from the Demon Hunt Selection of that time, when Cai’er chose to give up upon meeting him. Was history going to repeat itself? Thinking back to his past promise to Lin Xin, about how he had forgotten to warn Cai’er at that time, ultimately ending up hurting her, Long Haochen’s gaze became a lot warmer.

Lightly holding Cai’er’s hand, he declared, “If we run against each other, I will be the one to concede this time, understood?”

Cai’er had a slight start, “Haochen, you...”

Long Haochen smiled to her, “In those years, you clearly could beat me, yet chose to give up on the match. Why shouldn’t I be allowed to concede this one?”

Cai’er laughed in reaction, “Idiot, don’t think about it. Do you even take the circumstances to be the same now compared to the past? At that time, winning or losing did not matter, but this match relates to our future resistance against demonkind. You are Bright Glimmer of Hope’s captain, our leader! Oh, looks like our match won’t get to take place.”

During their discussion, the light of selection landed onto Cai’er as well as Sheng Yue, another contestant in the Assassin Temple’s area opposite.

Seeing Sheng Yue’s unreconciled look, Long Haochen couldn’t help but laugh, “Look, that great-grandfather-in-law wants to have a go against you.”

Cai’er let out a low laugh and replied, “It won’t happen.”

As expected, without need for Cai’er to step down, the opposite Sheng Yue had already declared, “I believe there to be no match and give up this match.” After saying that, he returned to his seat without even walking away.
