Chapter 689: Starry Sky Holy Knight (II)
“What?” Tan Wan lost her voice, “How could that be? Becoming a Divine Knight means having at least one divine tool, as well as becoming an auxiliary head of the Knight Temple.”
Lin Zhengzhi sighed, “ Of course, Yang Haoyu knew this much, but he is really overly proud. This genius with a Starry Sky of the ninth step immediately gained approval from a Divine Throne, and if at that time he had accepted, he would immediately have become a Divine Knight. But he didn’t do so, and chose to issue a request to the greatest, and never before used Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. ”
“In the end, the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation rejected him, and he did not choose another Divine Throne. After being bestowed the title of Starry Sky Holy Knight, he started to undergo a long time of seclusion, and, reportedly, he attempted to gain once again the approval from the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, but, in the end, he did not succeed. Because his time spent in seclusion was just too long, he has since long disappeared from the watch of the Six Great Temples’ higher-ups. I didn’t expect Yang Haohan to have actually invited him to this Temples’ Great Gathering.”
Reaching that point, Li Zhengzhi’s expression became quite desolate, “It looks that I was too confident in myself. The Knight Temple’s trump card...”
Tan Wan seemed to become unconvinced, “Teacher, could it be that you are still unable to defeat him?”
Li Zhengzhi shook his head, “If I am up against him, my odds of victory are definitely under fifty percent even without restrictions, and the use of equipment being allowed. Have a good look, he will show you the strength of a Starry Sky Divine Beast. It is regarded as the number one divine beast, and Yang Haoyu is the chief elder of the Knight Temple. This time, Long Haochen should get taught a deep lesson, but that’s good as well. He’s too young, and to a youngster, getting defeated is sometimes the best lesson one can have.”
If Long Haochen could hear Li Zhengzhi’s words, he would surely be left with a deep impression, because he formerly suffered a blow of the most massive kind, costing him his own life. Now that he was living a second life, he had long since become entirely transparent, as peaceful as water.
Long Haochen did not know that Yang Haoyu had such a glorious history. Looking at the armor and weapon on him, he couldn’t help but feel startled, though his gaze very rapidly returned to normal, a golden hexagon having appeared around him.
Despite not knowing about Yang Haoyu’s glory, he could sense a massive threat from him, and didn’t feel confident in being able to defeat this powerful knight.
The hexagonal light in front of Long Haochen was mild, glinting in golden color, and slowly tracing lines of multicolored halos. Multicolored light symbolized a special realm, an existence equivalent in some ways to divine tools.
Immediately, a tall figure appeared in front of Long Haochen, measuring over four meters, and over two meters tall. It had a pair of massive wings spreading out from his two sides, and was entirely lustrous gold colored. The sole horn atop its head was colored in the seven colors of the rainbow, and the instant it appeared, a light essence gushed out throughout the whole stadium, making visible the multicolored light spiralling around its body. The dots of starlight that had originally appeared in the air were dispelled in the scope of this multicolored halation.
“Divine Unicorn?” Yang Haoyu was shocked upon looking at the magical beast standing in front of Long Haochen.
In legends, some magical beasts were known as the optimum mounts for knights, and knights possessing such mounts were given a special name.
First, the number one ranked were Divine Gigantic Dragon Riding Knights, followed by Divine Unicorn Riding Knights, followed by all the types of dragon-riding knights. Divine Unicorns were ranked number two for the massive boosts and glory they gave to a knight.
Yang Haoyu was named Starry Sky Holy Knight because of his mount too, but a Starry Sky Divine Beast was not even written down in any ancient records, so it did not appear in the original ranking of the mount titles of knights. Because of its great power, it was added onto the ranking afterwards, but Long Haochen’s Divine Unicorn was the true second-ranked being in the rankings.
Long Haochen’s figure flashed to sit on the Divine Unicorn’s back. Immediately, the latter dispersed a multicolored halation, rendering his body multicolored, as well as causing Long Haochen’s figure to look blurry.
There used to be a legend in ancient times that girls had as an ideal for a lover someone who could step through multicolored clouds, clad in golden saint armor. Those so called multicolored clouds pointed at Divine Unicorns, as for the golden saint armor, the current humankind did not know what it was, but in some manner, a Divine Throne could definitely be regarded as such. Isn’t that so?
