Divine Seal: From a Heavy Sword to Slicing Through the Holy Demon Continent

Long Haoyu laughed and said, "So even though they are all fifth-tier knights, their strength is not necessarily the same."

"So the next match will be just like when I'm training with you, as easy as an older brother beating a younger brother."

Long Haochen: "..."

When the past was brought up, he scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, and upon reflection, he realized it was indeed true.

Fifth-tier professionals are further divided into fifth-tier level one professionals and fifth-tier level ten professionals.

Although it may seem like there's only a difference between levels 1 and 10, the difference in spiritual power is a huge gap of 2000 to 4000 points.

Although I don't know exactly what level my older brother has reached, he is definitely already far beyond the level he was at when he first stepped into the fifth-tier professional half a year ago.

"How's the dual cultivation of the Retribution Knight going these days?" Long Haoyu asked as he and Long Haochen walked out of the hotel.

Long Haochen pondered for a moment: "These past few days I've been sparring with Sister Xin'er, and she's told me a lot about the skills of the Retribution Knight."

"I already have a basic understanding of most of the Retribution Knight skills that I can learn; all that's left is to master them completely."

Long Haoyu nodded and said, "Yes, as long as there is improvement, that's good. After the competition, I'll practice with you alone to help you quickly master it."

"By the way, there's also Haoyue. It's been back for several days now. Do you have any corresponding signs here?"

Long Haochen shook his head and said, "Not for now. Maybe nothing unexpected has happened!"

Long Haoyu stopped asking about this.

Haoyue is definitely involved; he's a powerful demon who destroyed an entire plane.

The creatures of that undead world wouldn't let Haoyue go so easily.

Unfortunately, he only remembered that it happened during the Demon Hunter Team selection competition, and couldn't remember the exact day when Long Haochen would be teleported away.

Putting aside these thoughts for the time being, Long Haoyu gave the little white beast on his shoulder a meaningful look, and then headed toward the Knight's Temple with Long Haochen.

……

Knights' Temple.

The backstage rest area.

As the fourth contestant, he sat upright and waited here.

Standing at 1.9 meters tall, he appeared even more imposing in his armor.

Han Qian watched her grandson sitting upright from a short distance away, a satisfied smile on her face.

Others might not know what kind of person Han Yu was, but he knew it all too well.

Having reached the level of a fifth-tier professional at such a young age, the arrogance in his heart was impossible to hide.

Under normal circumstances, he was almost certain that his grandson would underestimate his opponent and would never wear armor.

But things are different now. After learning that Long Haoyu was a Child of Light with 100 points of innate spiritual power after that day, he is now clearly much more attentive.

"Grandpa, why are you staring at me like that?" Han Yu asked, feeling a little creeped out by Han Qian's gaze.

Han Qian glanced at Han Yu indifferently: "It's currently the Demon Hunter Selection Competition. I am the Holy Knight Commander of the Knight Temple. You should address me as Holy Knight Commander!"

"Alright, Paladin Commander, could you please stop staring at me? I'm feeling a little uncomfortable with you staring at me like that," Han Yu said, annoyed.

Han Qian withdrew her gaze, walked to the side, looked at the arena outside, and asked with her back to Han Yu, "Are you fully prepared to fight Haoyu?"

"That's perfect!"

Han Yu took a deep breath and said, "When I learned that the other party was exceptionally talented, I was indeed flustered for a while."

"I admit he has great talent, but I will prove with my strength that I am not too bad either, after all, I am also a fifth-tier Retribution Knight!"

"In a battle between fifth-tier forces, the outcome remains to be seen!"

"Then go!"

Han Yu hummed in agreement, straightened his armor, and headed straight out of the rest area.

His steps were firm and steady, just as he said, he would prove his own extraordinary abilities with his strength.

Han Qian watched his grandson leave, his aged eyes lingering on his retreating figure for a long time before slowly looking away.

Unconsciously, the events that had occurred in Riding Spirit Valley four days prior flashed through his mind.

At that time, Long Haoyu, with the power of the Six Paths Spirit Furnace, managed to break through the sixth-order defensive skill used by Yang Haohan, the Divine Seal Knight.

Despite such a feat, he could still clearly distinguish the vast difference in combat ability between Long Haoyu and his own grandson.

At this point, Han Yu is no match for Long Haoyu, but he didn't reveal the truth at this time.

He knew very well that his grandson needed a defeat, otherwise he would never be able to overcome his arrogance.

Just like the current situation, there are moments of inner turmoil, but ultimately, I am unwilling to admit defeat and remain arrogant.

Only a real failure, one that Han Yu has never experienced before since his debut, can allow him to grow rapidly.

Han Qian silently pondered these matters, her hopes mixed with a touch of frustration.

"I hope my grandson won't lose too badly in this match!"

“Other families hope their offspring can win the game, but I see no hope at all.”

"The taste is quite strange."

Chapter 130 First Battle: Long Haoyu VS Han Yu

Inside the Knights' Temple.

Many knights had already taken their seats here.

When Long Haoyu and Long Haochen arrived, Ye Hua and Li Xin had already found seats.

Long Haoyu had barely sat down when the sound of numbers being called rang out from the Knight Temple's trial grounds.

"Number five and number four, enter the arena to compete!"

Perhaps it was fate playing tricks, but Long Haochen became a squire knight and could no longer participate in the Demon Hunter Selection Competition, and Han Yu naturally became Long Haoyu's opponent.

"Brother, come on!"

"Go, Haoyu!"

Long Haochen and Li Xin cheered for Long Haoyu, both hoping to see him win the game decisively.

Only Ye Hua looked at Long Haoyu with concern: "Haoyu, remember what your teacher told you before, you can't let your guard down just because it's a competition, understand?"

"Don't worry, teacher!" Long Haoyu replied, "I will win beautifully."

Ye Hua nodded heavily and patted Long Haoyu on the shoulder forcefully: "That's good, go ahead!"

Long Haoyu strode into the training ground, and Han Yu entered at the same time.

The knights in the rest area all fell silent, intently awaiting the start of the match.

The battle of the fifth-tier knights deeply moved them.

Long Haoyu was quite surprised by Han Yu's attire at this moment. He remembered that Han Yu did not wear armor during his match against Long Haochen.

At that time, Han Yu weighed 99 pounds out of 100 pounds, and his contempt for his opponents was very obvious.

Han Yu is different now; he's wearing armor, which shows he doesn't intend to underestimate his opponent.

Long Haoyu thought about it and understood. It was probably because four days ago in Han Qian's office, in order to reassure Sheng Yue, Han Qian's explanation of his talent led Han Yu to make corresponding changes.

"I will prove with my abilities that I am just as good!"

"I hope you can truly engage me in a battle between fifth-tier knights!"

Han Qian stood in front of Long Haoyu and suddenly spoke out of the blue.

His unwavering gaze was firmly fixed on Long Haoyu, whom he regarded as his only opponent at this moment, and as the milestone he was determined to prove himself.

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Yu didn't linger and immediately summoned his magical beast companion.

Amidst the strange rhythm, an ugly eyeball appeared from the summoning space, and its hideous tentacles danced in the void.

Long Haoyu's expression remained unchanged. Seeing that Han Yu had indeed changed a lot, and that he had immediately revealed all his strength, Long Haoyu was even more certain of his judgment. He smiled and replied, "Don't worry, it will be as you wish!"

Han Yu finished all his preparations and looked at Long Haoyu, who was still standing in front of him without making any moves. He couldn't help but frown and ask, "Where is your monster partner?"

Long Haoyu pointed to the listless white beast on his shoulder.

Whether it was because he overdid it or something else, from the very first day of the Demon Hunter Selection Competition, this little guy suddenly stopped going to continue absorbing energy from the furnace.

For two whole days, he looked listless, as if his body had been completely drained.

“Here, this is my Warcraft partner,” Long Haoyu replied.

Han Yu frowned slightly, making a gesture as if to send his Evil Eye Lord back.

"Your monster companion looks very listless, and in this state, it can't help you at all."

"I won't take advantage of you, and I'll send my monster companions back too!"

As Han Qian spoke, she had already sketched out the runes to bring the Evil Eye Lord back to the summoning space.

Long Haoyu stopped him, saying, "Brother Han Yu, there's no need for that. My magical beast partners have always been like this. I won't hold back my full strength just because I don't have any magical beast partners."

"Moreover, this is a competition between us, and competitions are preparation for going into battle. On the real battlefield, underestimating your enemy can lead to death!"

Han Yu was slightly taken aback. Hearing Long Haoyu's reply, he paused in his act of sending the Evil Eye Lord back: "But your companion is like this now, if I..."

"What good would it do me if I had my partner help me fight, even if I won the match?"

"Brother Han Yu, do you not want to win unfairly?" Long Haoyu replied, "If that's the case, then you can put aside your worries. You'll know the answer soon enough."

Han Yu did not send the Evil Eye Lord back.

Long Haoyu's words made him inexplicably wary.

Even though they hadn't started fighting yet, he could already sense a dangerous aura emanating from Long Haoyu.

"Game start!"

At this moment, Han Qian appeared on the high platform of the trial field, and his powerful voice rang out.

Han Yu stopped daydreaming and immediately focused his attention on Long Haoyu when he heard Han Qian call out "start".

At first glance, his pupils contracted sharply.
