Chapter 586: Challenge a Psychic Master (II)
Translator: GravityTales
What’s more, Long Haochen wasn’t the only genius in this team. Just think about his own granddaughter. Her physique as a god’s chosen one was finally awakened, formally making her the Spiritual Saint Girl. As the mythological beasts’ emissary, her control over summons was as one may well imagine. If he didn’t use his domain either, maybe these youngsters would really inflict him with a setback. That would be a terrible loss of face! Moreover, Chen Hongyu’s fundamental goal was to stop Chen Ying’er from risking her life. He also believed that any other Temple Head present would definitely stop them from penetrating deep in demon territory.
So on this day, Chen Hongyu was prepared to teach these youngsters a good lesson no matter what, so that they can train in calm cultivation. He didn’t have the slightest intention to go easy on them, and decided firmly to defeat Long Haochen’s group to retain Chen Ying’er here. As for Yang Wenzhao’s situation of danger, it could only wait for the Alliance to dispatch powerhouses for rescue. Compared to his granddaughter, a grandson-in-law had a far lower position in his heart.
This time, Chen Hongyu was confronted by the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmers of Hope, formed of seven members, entering slowly from the western entrance, not late at all.
On the watching platforms, Sanshui Popo was seated since a long time ago. Calm and easygoing, she had an extreme understanding of her husband’s strength. She didn’t believe that these young guys with exaggerated opinions of their own ability had any chance.
Zhang Fangfang was seated beside Sanshui Popo, his gaze traveling downwards. Although he wasn’t too confident in the chances of Long Haochen’s group, he secretly prayed for them to persevere for a long enough time.
In a flicker of radiant light, Long Haochen’s eyes had a brilliant glint, “Is everyone ready yet?”
Han Yu took the first step, “Captain, Guardian Knight Han Yu is reporting for duty.”
Sima Xian followed tightly, “Captain, Discipline Priest Sima Xian is reporting for duty.”
The next one was Lin Xin, “Captain, fire mage Lin Xin is reporting for duty.”
Chen Ying’er, “Captain, summoner Chen Ying’er is reporting for duty.”
Wang Yuanyuan beat on her armor with great strength, and her eyes appeared this instant quite red, “Captain, Warlord Wang Yuanyuan is reporting for duty.”
The final one was Cai’er. Although she had lost her past memories, hearing the loud introductions of her comrades, she felt a surge of cold blood boil in her body, loudly stating, “Captain, assassin Cai’er is reporting for duty.”
“Good, let’s proceed for our test.” Long Haochen responded in a vigorous voice, extending his right hand.
Their hands were stacked one after another. As their seven hands were stacked, an overflowing fighting intent immediately burst forth with great confidence. One could faintly see a thin golden radiance dispersed from the seven of them.
It came from the Soul Sharing Chains binding them. Its use was not only limited to Life Sharing, but it also faintly produced a feeling of soul connection.
Since two years ago, their strength had progressed, but also the abilities from their equipment. At that very moment, the persistence visible in all members of Bright Glimmer of Hope made them already forget who their opponent was. They only had one conviction in their hearts, that no matter how strong the enemy is, they definitely won’t let him get in their way.
Standing in front of them, Chen Hongyu felt that the most clearly. The instant Long Haochen led his group in, Chen Hongyu could faintly sense their grave and deep demeanor. That steadiness totally unexpected from such youth already astonished the Spiritual Temple’s head. But the following scene made him unable to contain his surprise and be filled with great admiration.
The members of the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope expressed their resolution by reporting so formally to Long Haochen. With every additional report for duty, their imposing manners grew by a share, until the seven of them were done.
The team’s vigor was blended well, the formidable oppressive force and dense murderous spirit as well as imposing fighting intent already raised their morale to the peak.
In such circumstances, they were bound to display one hundred percent of their strength in the battlefield.
No wonder Long Haochen had such confidence, and no wonder they killed several demon gods in a succession. There was really a basis for them to get the title of Bright Glimmer of Hope.
This instant, Chen Hongyu even started to doubt his own decision. He just saw personally the change in Chen Ying’er alongside her comrades. The incredible vigor, determination and energy she just showed would never appear in her ordinary times of cultivation.
This instant, Chen Ying’er became unlike a little child, but a real Demon Hunter confronting the demon forces. Even Chen Hongyu felt as if he couldn’t recognize her.
On the viewing platform, Sanshui Popo also had an expression of shock, “These chidren are really outstanding! To actually raise their own morale with such methods.”
Zhang Fangfang showed a faint smile, “Senior, their outstandingness is not limited to that. You will very rapidly witness that with your own eyes. I trust them, Captain Long has never made uncertain decisions.”
Sanshui Popo asked with some doubts, “Don’t tell me you really believe that they can defeat my home’s old man? Shouldn’t you be aware of his strength?”
Zhang Fangfang shook his head, “I don’t know what level Head Chen’s strength reached, but I am certain that Long Haochen’s group definitely won’t be easily defeated. That’s the promise he gave to miss Ying’er and to their whole team. I believe that their strength will surely keep rising to the highest skies under Long Haochen’s lead.”
Sanshui Popo had a stern smile, “Good. Let’s just wait and see.” By now, even she had expectations for this test. She wanted to see whether these children could show her a pleasant surprise, what kind of miracle they’d produce.
The gates on the two sides of the Beast Fighting Field shut simultaneously, immediately giving way to another source of heavy atmosphere.
Leading his group, Long Haochen stepped forward. As they formed a row, he respectfully spoke, “Greetings, Temple Head Chen. We are very honored to receive your test.”
Chen Hongyu responded calmly, “No need for formalities, that was our deal. As long as you can defeat me, Ying’er is free to do as it pleases her in the future. But on the other hand, I hope that if it isn’t the case, you won’t keep troubling me in the future. Understood?”
Long Haochen nodded lightly, “Senior, can we start now?”
Chen Hongyu replied, “As we agreed, I won’t use any equipment in this test. But be careful, I will go all out and won’t show mercy just because of your young age.”
“Okay, senior. Please do so.”
Chen Hongyu had an indifferent smile, “Come then.” As he said so, queer manners came out from him.
Being the head of the Spiritual Temple, a Psychic Master, even if he’s a summoner, he won’t show the initiative to make the first move.
“Please give us your guidance senior.” With a shout, Long Haochen rapidly stepped forward, his right feet stomping on the ground to make a dash. As Chen Hongyu was believing that he was trying to make use of the speaking to launch his attack, he came to a stop after charging for five meters. The comrades behind him also showed a rapid response, taking a formation.
Long Haochen was in the front, in his left hand the Divine Snail Shield letting out orange glitters and in his right hand, the Aria of the Goddess of Light. On his left side and slightly behind, Wang Yuanyuan gripped in her hands the Divine Soul Shield alongside Bloodstorm, and on his right side, Sima Xian carried the immense Energetic Ball of Light.
The three of them formed a protective screen in front of their other mates. Lin Xin was behind Long Haochen, waving his Fire Clad Crystal while unfolding the Fire Dragon Wings on his back. Even further behind was Chen Ying’er. Han Yu was still at the rear, the Demonic Eye floating behind him, eyes wide open and dispersing psychic fluctuations to his surroundings. The next instant, Cai’er in the rear disappeared instantly and without a sound, used Invisibility.
Having the assassin covering the flanks to provide both attack and defense was undoubtedy the greatest disposition for the Demon Hunt Squad. Having one more Guardian Knight than ordinary Demon Hunt Squads enabled this perfect optimisation.
Chen Hongyu couldn’t help but nod in approval secretly at this sight. These youngsters didn’t immediately assault due to confronting a summoner, but instead firmly and steadily set their formation. This steadiness already far exceeded the expectations for their age. In actual fact, Chen Hongyu was prepared since long before for an assassin or a knight’s sudden assault.
The first to attack was naturally the mage, as the main firepower in the team.
Lin Xin lifted the Fire Crystal Staff and launched a gleaming blue Bursting Fireball at Chen Hongyu.
Although Chen Hongyu was extremely powerful, the sight of the blue fireball gave still him a fright. These were visibly not ordinary flames, but high temperature ones distorting the surrounding air.
_Bzz._ The air surrounding Chen Hongyu started to produce light chirps, and immediately, six pure sparkling crystals surrounded him, enveloping him in a white brilliance.
This wasn’t any offensive equipment, but a condensation of his spiritual energy. To describe it in another way, that was the reflection of the spiritual pellet of a powerhouse of the ninth step.
Despite being similarly powerhouses of the ninth step, mages and close-quarters warriors would show completely different displays of their spiritual energy. The mage type powerhouses would boost their magic through their spiritual pellet, increasing their offensive might and lessening the consumption of spiritual energy. Close quarters powerhouses would rather gain control of Spiritual Highland through their spiritual pellet, making their use of Spiritual Highland far more powerful than powerhouses of the eighth step.
