Chapter 697: Haoyue, First Demon God in existence? (II)

Chen Zidian’s dignified voice reverberated once again, “Fourth rounds of the individual competition, start.”

Two lights of selections came, producing swishing sounds. After travelling through the air, one of them directly fell on the lounge of the Knight Temple. This was the most probable, as, after all, the Knight Temple had five people left for this fourth round, while Bright Glimmer of Hope had seven of them, making for over half of the contestants left from the third round.

In a flicker of light, a knight from the Knight Temple was picked alongside a powerhouse from the Mage Temple.

The fourth stage of the competition started with intense clashes.

After that great battle opposing Long Haochen and Yang Haoyu yesterday, today’s Li Zhengzhi looked extremely calm, seated on the first row of the Mage Temple’s contestant booth. Like he ordinarily did, he carried a faint smile on his face, as if Bright Glimmer of Hope’s outstanding performance had nothing to do with him.

In the fourth rounds, the ones left seemed to be only powerhouses of the ninth steps, and only excellent figures at that. The competition thus became increasingly heated.

After one hour passed, a half of the twelve matches went by. Three of Bright Glimmer of Hope’s ranks had appeared. Wang Yuanyuan and Lin Xin passed the ordeal, while Zhang Fangfang lost to Li Zhengzhi.

For the seventh match, when the light of selection illuminated Long Haochen’s body, the whole audience became quiet.

Long Haochen did not look any different from yesterday, still carrying a light smile on his face, and dispersing a gentle aura. But now, no one underestimated this captain of Bright Glimmer of Hope anymore.

Yang Haoyu was not very well-known before his match against Long Haochen, but after the clashes of domains, Yang Haoyu’s identity rapidly spread ear by ear. The number one powerhouse of the Knight Temple!

The ones that really came to this realization during this match were still after all very few, and all the great majority knew was that Long Haochen was the final victor of this match.

For such a young Titled Demon Hunt Squad Captain to defeat in succession the number one powerhouses from the Warrior Temple and Knight Temple, Long Haochen and Bright Glimmer of Hope had already became the main target of attention. The splendor of the Six Great Temples was already outshined by their strong performances.

For the fourth match, Long Haochen entered the stage once again. But, amazingly, it had to be wondered whether this could be called the Will of Heavens or really terrible luck, as he had this time to confront another domain wielder, as well as one of the most well-known powerhouses of the Temple Alliance, the head of the Spiritual Temple and wielder of the Beast Emperor Domain, Chen Hongyu.

Seeing that he had drawn Long Haochen as his opponent, Chen Hongyu couldn’t help but shiver lightly. The one he was the most unwilling to face off against was actually Long Haochen.

In the battle between Long Haochen and Yang Haoyu, he had already understood that there was quite a gap between Yang Haoyu’s cultivation and his own. Although Long Haochen could be said to have had a modest victory against Yang Haoyu, the fact he had managed to keep up in such a situation was more than ample to prove this youngster’s dominant power.

In less than five years since their last confrontation, he already became a domain wielding powerhouse. Losing against him would certainly be a great loss of face. But even winning against such a young person would be nothing glorious.

So when Chen Hongyu came out from the Spiritual Temple’s side, his complexion was quite unsightly. Long Haochen was no Chen Ying’er, so as the head of the Spiritual Temple, he naturally couldn’t just concede, much less just throw the game.

,

Long Haochen took the lead to walk into the stadium, paying his respects to Chen Hongyu, performing a standard knight salute in front of him, “Greetings, Temple Head Chen.”

,

“En.” Chen Hongyu only nodded, “Let’s start.” He was unwilling to speak more. This match could only be an all out effort; after all, Long Haochen couldn’t bring out offensive weapons such as in the previous match. Naturally, he was able to tell that if he hadn’t had the Sword of Life and Creation formed with those two divine swords, Long Haochen couldn’t possibly cause those two evolutions of his domain. Winning against Long Haochen was not impossible for him. Putting the rest aside, he’s a powerhouse reaching the third rank of the ninth step, and Long Haochen should not yet have attained the third rank.

However, Chen Zidian really had a bad affinity with Long Haochen. Back then, his face off against Bright Glimmer of Hope should originally be a totally one-sided match for him, but who could imagine that the instant Long Haochen’s six-headed beast came out, his four-headed chimera immediately lost all fighting strength, and up to now, Chen Hongyu had yet to understand what kind of magical beast Long Haochen’s mount could be. Thinking about how his summoned beast would certainly be suppressed, he did not feel good at all.

However, in this match, after all, he didn’t have Chen Ying’er to suppress his domain, so his Beast Emperor Domain was able to display its full power. But whether it would hold water was heard to say: in the past years, Chen Ying’er’s cultivation also increased significantly, be it in his control over his domain or his control over his summoned beast and his quality of summons.
