Chapter 720: Long Haochen’s chance encounter (II) (2/2)
“In view of this year’s addition of Bright Glimmer of Hope, and after consultation with the elected staff, the number one’s reward has been increased to six hundred, and the last five’s gradually falling down to hundred, with the last position receiving none.
“The point counts are as follows: Bright Glimmer of Hope, 1042, Knight Temple, 698, Priest Temple, 620, Mage Temple, 555, Spiritual Temple, 378, Assassin Temple, 164, Warrior Temple, 24.”
The gap between Bright Glimmer and the rest aside, the Priest Temple could be described the greatest winner aside from Bright Glimmer of Hope, having surpassed the Mage Temple in one move, by rising to the third position. Such a grand event had never happened in the History of the Temple’s Great Gatherings; for a moment, both the Priest Temple’s head Ling Xiao, and elder Ling were beaming with joy. Their looks toward Long Haochen’s crew were full of goodwill.
Chen Zidian kept going, “Tomorrow, the last stage will be going. Due to the high quantity of contestants, and the permitted use of equipment, the battlefield will be the sky.”
The individual competition had already had the field wrecked out, to say nothing of a team competition. That would be ten against ten, in battles with no restrictions in equipment.
With a few divine tools additionned to the drive of several powerhouses of the ninth step, to say nothing about the Temples’ Great Gathering’s field, even Holy City could as well be torn open by them.
So having the team battle stage go on an aerial stage, and that must be at far altitude and far from Holy City.
“Chief referee.” Right at this time, Chen Hongyu stepped up, nodded lightly to Chen Zidian.
“So? You have something to say about that Hongyu?”
Chen Hongyu unhappily claimed, “Chief referee, I trust that you have seen the process of the previous domain battle. I believe the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope to have not won fairly.” Seeing the Priest Temple stand above them, Chen Hongyu once again took offense.
“Is that really so? Alright, then please express your views, you contestants from the other Temples. Tianying, you start.” He shifted his glance toward Long Tianying.
Long Tianying replied with a tranquill smile, “I have not seen Long Tianying pull out any dishonest trick. Although we also lost, I am sincerely convinced in my loss. I am indeed his grandfather, but will still speak my view. Let me ask all of you, even if you knew about this method, who of you could having done it? I can say that I couldn’t. Long Haochen’s strong control over his domain enabled him move unhindered within the whole Saint Bead, absorbing the three domains of the Priest Temple in a flash with control and integration. That was a display of unconditional strength. Let me ask once again, would any of you have acted differently in front of the same good chance? When left with the choice to either drop out or join hands with Bright Glimmer of Hope.”
Hearing Long Tianying’s response, the nearby elder Ling lightly smiled, “Tianying is not mistaken. First putting aside how Haochen achieved it, no one else would have refused such a good deal! We can be considered having taken part in Bright Glimmer of Hope’s brilliance this time.”
The Assassin Temple’s Sheng Yue laughed indifferently, shooting Chen Hongyu a glance, responding disdainfully, “Leave it at that you’re no good. Why blame this and that legit thing? What a lacking character!”
“What did you just say?” Chen Hongyu erupted in a burst of anger, glaring at Sheng Yue.
These two were originally not getting along well, Adding to that the factor of the Spiritual Temple and Assassin Temple’s opposite sides in the Temples’ Great Gathering, Chen Hongyu could be said to have really become agitated.
Sheng Yue did not give the slightest leeway, “So what? Want to fight a duel with you’re unconvinced?”
“Enough.” Chen Zidian shouted, instantly extending a uncorporeal pressure to the whole stage. Almighty person was not just a simple name.
“How about you, Yonghao?” Chen Zidian shifted his glance to Qiu Yonghao. Three of the six Temples had already expressed their approvals of Bright Glimmer of Hope.
Qiu Yonghao showed a bitter smile, “Back then, we were already eliminated, and have no clear knowledge of the events that followed within the Saint Bead. Our Warrior Temple is abstaining from expressing our views.”
As the Mage Temple’s best comrade, Qiu Yonghao couldn’t directly support the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope this time. But he had his own view: in the midst of disappointment, he had a few thoughts. For the sake of the Warrior Temple’s future, he must plan ahead, first of all by not offending the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope. They absolutely didn’t expect their strength to reach such lengths. After three stages, they were in the lead with over a thousand points. Both the Knight Temple and Mage Temple would find it close to impossible to reverse the stakes in the final stage. Long Haochen’s powerful Purplish Gold Haoyue Sword, and the divine tools the three of them showed today, were all demonstrations of Bright Glimmer of Hope’s great assets.
