Sealed Divine Throne

Chapter 585: Challenge a Psychic Master (I)

#

Han Yu’s hand was pressed on Sima Xian’s shoulder as he kept speaking, “What’s more, on the way here, Sima had been chattering a lot, asking about this and that. For Star King not to have been pestered to death, his resistance is already really incredible.”

Hearing his explanation, everyone laughed out loud in a boisterous atmosphere. Long Haochen joined Star King’s side, pressing his hand on his back and infusing some appeasing light essence inside his tired body, “Thanks for your trouble, Star King.”

Star King raised his head slightly as his horn was rubbed by Long Haochen, and gave a warm look.

Ever since following Long Haochen, Star King definitely obtained far more than what he invested, so he held Long Haochen in sincere esteem. He was already certain that by by continuing to follow him, the influence of Haochen’s pure light essence would undoubtedly help him evolve to the stage of Divine Unicorn.

With a faint flicker of light, Long Haochen showed a warm smile, “You should take a rest for now.”

Star King nodded. In a flicker of light, he turned into starlight and disappeared from his original spot.

“Shouldn’t we be tested? Where is that happening? Let’s go, now that we are here.” Sima Xian spoke in a loud voice, the gushing fighting intent in him causing the others to feel their blood surge.

Lin Xin laughed out loud, “You’re still so lacking in integrity, not the slightest bit different. The test will take place in the afternoon. What are you so hurried for? When the time comes, Ying’er’s grandfather is just going to calm you down in a single blow.”

Sima Xian snorted, “Has-drugs-bro, come for a bout if you are unhappy. Let me tell you that I have already broken through the seventh step and reached its third rank. How about you? Don’t tell me you haven’t made your breakthrough yet!”

Lin Xin responded in disdain, “Only the third rank? And you have the nerve to show off? I have already reached the fifth rank of the seventh step. You are far too lacking in terms of talent.”

“You’re at the fifth rank? I don’t believe this.” Sima Xian showed a strong disbelief.

Long Haochen declared in a chuckle, “Everyone has already gathered, so let’s take the chance to get familiar with each others’ cultivation. This will make it easier to match each other, just directly tell your rank.”

Lin Xin and Sima Xian being already done, Han Yu declared, “I am also at the fifth rank of the seventh step.” In the past always, his cultivation was always second only to Long Haochen and Cai’er. But the event involving Li Xin in addition to his original formidable talent and affinity, plus the assistance from Heart of Fire enabled him to catch up.

“I’m also at the fifth rank of the seventh step.” This time, the one speaking was Wang Yuanyuan. Her cultivation, which used to be falling behind, finally made a considerable progress.

Hearing this series of declarations, Sima Xian couldn’t help but open his eyes wide, “It can’t be! So my current cultivation is the lowest? How about you, Ying’er?” He naturally didn’t even envisage Long Haochen and Cai’er’s cultivations to possibly be below his.

Chen Ying’er immediately raised her brows at his question, “Baldie, what are you asking this for? Is it because you think I am weaker than you? Let me tell you, this lady is at the fourth rank of the seventh step, a bit above you. And I have just beaten up has-drugs-bro in a bout. If you aren’t convinced, you can have a try.”

Although such words came out from her mouth, she had a smiling expression.

Sima Xian showed gloomy looks while speaking, “It can’t be? I have already been trying very hard. Don’t be like that! I don’t want to be the last one.”

Lin Xin feinted a comforting stance, “Alright, don’t be depressed. Ordinary people just can’t compare to geniuses, could it be that you can’t even understand this truth?”

“Puh, the rank isn’t everything. How about you two, Captain, vice-captain?”

Cai’er replied, “I am now at the sixth rank of the seventh step.” The increase of her spiritual energy being not much faster than the others was mainly due to the influence of her loss of memories. As a god’s chosen one, her progressing speed should be much faster, but these two years were mainly focused on recovering her various previous abilities under Sheng Yue’s guidance, and in particular her understanding of the assassins’ ones. By now, it could be said that Cai’er had a feeling of accumulated preparedness due to learning once again all the assassins’ abilities. If her stifled memories didn’t end up recovering, her future cultivation would keep being affected, but on the other hand, if her memories manage to get back, she will be bound to gain a massive growth.

Long Haochen replied, “I haven’t been calculating my rank because I haven’t been measuring my total count of spiritual energy. By now, my spiritual energy should be between 40,000 and 50,000, which corresponds approximately to the third rank of the eighth step. If I get the time, I will have to go measure it.”

Hearing this estimate of third rank of the eighth step, everyone had some blank looks. Although they knew that Long Haochen’s cultivation was bound to have already broken through the eighth step because of his Golden Foundation Armor, from what he just said, his internal spiritual energy was already near 50,000. The gap was just too wide! The strongest of the others, Cai’er, didn’t even reach 20,000. In other words, Long Haochen alone had the spiritual energy of two to three of them. And this wasn’t a trivial addition, as they could perhaps win against Long Haochen by joining hands, but in case he wants to avoid the battle, there will be no one able to stop him from that.

Hearing Long Haochen’s response, Sima Xian’s gloominess was swept clean, “Haha, my spiritual energy may be the lowest, but the gap between Boss and the rest of us is just as large. It balances things out. However, Boss, don’t be like that, you are just wounding our egos.”

Long Haochen laughed gently, “Actually, my current cultivation isn’t only due to cultivation. A lot of it is related to luck.” Actually, that’s how it was. He hadn’t broken through the eighth step a long time ago, but his spiritual energy already increased so fast. Aside from his personal talent and the opening of his spiritual cavities, it was mainly due to his absorption of the residues of Saminaga’s domain left by the Tower of Eternity, plus the boost provided to him after Haoyue’s evolution. They totalled about 100,000 spiritual energy.

Chen Ying’er exclaimed, “Boss, I have noticed that Star King was really tired. Should he be going to the battlefield so soon?”

Long Haochen shook his head, “Star king won’t be joining us today. As a knight, I cannot have two mounts participate at the same time.”

Chen Ying’er showed an expression of nice surprise from her bright eyes, “Are you saying that Haoyue will join?”

Long Haochen nodded, “From the description you gave us of your grandfather’s contracted beast, I have the feeling that Haoyue should be able to restrict it to some extent. Plus there’s no point keeping things concealed in front of your grandfather. Didn’t Temple Head give us the promise that except for your grandmother and Brother Zhang, there won’t be any other spectators?”

To get Chen Hongyu’s approval, Long Haochen decided after consultation with Zhang Fangfang to not have him participate. Otherwise, that would seem petty of him. Their team already had an extra member due to Han Yu being his retainer knight. If Zhang Fangfang was further added, that would make a total of three knights, which is a bit too much.

Long Haochen resolutely declared, “After we pass through this test, we will have a good discussion about what happened during these two years. For now, let’s cultivate separately to be at our optimum state when we confront Temple Head Chen’s test.”

“Yes!” Everyone stuck out their chest and replied loudly.

Two hours later.

Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass, Spiritual Temple’s Fighting Beasts Ground.

The so-called Fighting Beasts Ground was actually an appellation for training ground, which only exists in the Spiritual Temple.

Because the Spiritual Temple was formed of summoners, there were frequently summoned beasts breaking out of control in times of training. So these training grounds had a great difference compared to the other Temples.

First is concerning the scale of such training grounds.

The Fighting Beasts Ground would be the largest outside from the Alliance’s Great Testing Ground in Holy City. Its shape is circular, with a radius of thirty meters, and is surrounded by elevated watching seats. The watching seats are protected by defensive magic formations, directed entirely against magical beasts. As long as magical beasts are inside, they won’t possibly be able to break out from there unless the staff people take the initiative to release them. This goes even for the magical beasts of the tenth rank comparable to human powerhouses of the ninth step.

From this one can see how astonishing the defensive power of this Fighting Beasts Ground is.

Chen Hongyu’s choice of this ground for carrying out the test of Long Haochen’s group was simple. In a smaller training field, he was afraid of possible danger. The defenses here enabled him to display his strength to the best extent, without risk of spiritual energy leaking.

The Fighting Beasts Ground only had two entrances, opposite to each other.

At this time, the two entrances were opened. Chen Hongyu slowly strolled from the eastern entrance. He was clad in a white summoner’s gown, giving off a very relaxed look.

As per Long Haochen’s request, Chen Hongyu already accepted not using any equipment on today’s test. But his domain was still on the map.

Despite Chen Hongyu’s capacity as the head of the Spiritual Temple, he didn’t underestimate Long Haochen’s group. Quite the opposite, he regarded the seven of them as worthy opponents. Although these were still very young children, they already produced miracles on more than one occasion. In particular, Long Haochen caused the decision of the Alliance to carry out the Holy War against demons, that’s how the Temple Alliance valued him. To carry the heavy responsibility of being the Provisional Saint Knight Head at such a young age couldn’t be achieved by anyone. And Hongyu personally admitted that killing three demon gods in succession and destroying the demon god pillar of Andromalius isn’t something anyone can do.
