Divine Seal: Traversing the Serpent Demon God, Devouring and Evolving

Chapter 81 New Achievement: Mithril-Based Knight

An Lan's attacks came down like a storm, giving Tian Qing no chance to catch his breath.

An Lan knew that Tian Qing's mount was a seventh-tier earth dragon. If he were to summon his mount, the outcome of this battle would be uncertain.

Therefore, An Lan dared not stop and launched a series of powerful attacks, forcing Tian Qing to retreat repeatedly.

Tianqing was devastated.

Is this a general-level demon hunter?

When will it be possible for a General-level Demon Hunter to challenge a King-level Demon Hunter, a level two above?

By this point, Tianqing had realized that Anlan's strength had increased because of the boost from her mount.

But what level of mount can directly raise a knight's cultivation level from the sixth rank to the peak of the seventh rank?

I thought An Lan wasn't summoning her mount because she wanted to have a real duel with him.

Unexpectedly, this sixth brother had such a trick up his sleeve. Summoning a mount didn't take any time at all, because the mount was already on his body.

Tian Qing's expression was somewhat solemn. His heavy shield had been shattered, and he could only conjure another heavy shield to withstand An Lan's fierce attack.

If this continues, he will inevitably be defeated.

The solution is to summon your mount.

But An Lan didn't give him that chance at all.

Great!

"Holy Sword - Thorn of Light!"

An Lan thrust out his heavy sword with his right hand, like a rainbow piercing the sun, with vast light elements condensing into a sword shadow that stabbed towards the sky.

With a "crack," the heavy shield in Tianqing's hand shattered once again, and the longsword pierced his shoulder.

Tian Qing's expression changed drastically, and he retreated rapidly, shattering the sword shadow with a single sword strike.

However, he was already injured, and without the protection of armor, his physical strength was simply insufficient to withstand such a powerful attack.

"Again!"

An Lan shouted loudly without stopping, his spiritual power surging wildly within him, and both swords simultaneously emitted a dazzling light.

Holy Light Cross Slash!

"Bang"

This time, Tianqing was sent flying backward, feeling a surge of blood and qi, and gradually showing signs of weakness.

An Lan seized the opportunity, combining her two swords to gather boundless light elements, which coalesced into two ten-zhang-long golden dragons that roared and pounced.

"hold head high--"

The two golden dragons twisted and turned, their bodies intertwined, colliding to unleash an incredibly terrifying power.

"Ugh—" Tianqing spat out a mouthful of blood, his body rolled more than ten meters on the ground, and his clothes were torn in many places.

If he hadn't used his spiritual power to protect himself in time, his clothes would probably have been reduced to dust.

When he raised his head, An Lan's heavy sword was already resting on his shoulder. The sharpness of the sword stung his skin and brought a chill.

"You're too kind."

An Lan sheathed his heavy sword and gave a knightly salute.

Tianqing sat there blankly, unable to accept the result of defeat for a long time.

"How did you do that?" Tianqing asked, somewhat unwilling to give up.

An Lan stated frankly, "My mount is the eighth-tier Starry Unicorn King."

Tianqing suddenly realized that he could accept the result of defeat.

With a Star King as a mount, it's no wonder that a sixth-tier warrior dared to challenge the Mithril-based armor.

Hanci took a step and came to the two of them from the edge of the training ground.

"An Lan, you really didn't disappoint me."

Hanci laughed heartily, then looked at Tianqing and said, "You lost because you underestimated your opponent. If you had summoned your mount from the beginning, you wouldn't have fallen into such a passive situation and ultimately lost."

Tian Qing felt somewhat ashamed. Although he had taken it seriously enough, he couldn't help but underestimate his opponent when he learned that he was just a general-level demon hunter with a cultivation level of only the sixth rank.

Furthermore, he never expected that An Lan would be able to instantly connect with his mount, gain the amplification of a Star King, and surpass him in cultivation level.

"Sir Paladin, does that mean I've passed the test?" An Lan stared longingly at the mithril-based battle armor in Han Ci's hand.

"You have passed the test. From today onwards, you are a Mithril Pedestal Knight, and the only knight to pass the Mithril Pedestal test at the sixth rank."

Hanci held the dark silver box in both hands and handed it to Anlan.

An Lan did not accept it immediately, but instead performed a knightly salute before solemnly accepting the mithril base with both hands.

Hantz's eyes gleamed with satisfaction as he said, "The Mithril-based Battle Armor is considered the glory of a knight, crafted by the Knights' Temple with thousands of years of accumulated wisdom. It is precisely because of the 365 sets of Mithril-based Battle Armor and the 36 sets of Adamantite-based Battle Armor that it has always held the honor of being the head of the six great temples."

"I hope this armor will shine brightly on you."

"We will certainly live up to your expectations."

An Lan said solemnly.

Hantz smiled and said, "Go find your companions."

An Lan nodded, then turned and left.

……

Meanwhile, after eight days of travel, the 21st and 22nd General-level Demon Hunter Teams, a total of thirteen people, are about to arrive in Starseeking City.

"Ahead lies Starseeking City. Three hundred miles beyond Starseeking City lies the Southeast Fortress, where the main hall of the Warrior's Temple is located. As planned, we will rest in Starseeking City for a day."

With An Lan absent, Long Haochen will temporarily assume the role of leader for this team.

Of course, Long Haochen would consult the opinions of the members of the Demon Hunter Team No. 21 before making any decisions.

After all, he was only the leader of the 22nd Demon Hunter Team at the General level. His cultivation was the strongest in his team, but he was not able to surpass the 21st Demon Hunter Team at the General level.

Because of An Lan, Long Haochen did not fuse with the light element spirit as in the original story, resulting in a surge in his inner spiritual power. His current cultivation level is only at the third level of the fifth rank.

Among the Demon Hunter Team No. 21, Cai'er, Li Xin, and Lu Xi all have higher cultivation levels than Long Haochen.

Wang Yuanyuan's cultivation level is also on par with Long Haochen's.

Long Haochen said, "After entering Star Seeking City, Dianyan and I will try to contact the wandering merchants and try to infiltrate their groups. If we can succeed, our trip will be much smoother."

Li Xin reminded him, "Haochen, be careful."

Long Haochen nodded.

There are demons among the wandering merchants, so we can't be careless.

Wandering merchants are active in some border cities of the Holy Temple Alliance, engaging in buying and selling between humans and demons.

Therefore, they are the source of many important resources. A large portion of the items in the Holy Alliance Grand Auction House come from wandering merchants.

Those who can become wandering merchants are not simple; they are not only humans, but also some high-ranking demons.

The two demon-hunting teams had only been in the hotel for an hour when Long Haochen and Dian Yan brought over a tall, elderly man.

"This is my uncle, Dian Xuan, the manager and head guard of the Moonlit Merchant Guild."

Dianyan Long Haochen introduced it to everyone.

Dian Xuan said, "Our merchant group needs some odd jobs. You will be responsible for guarding the wagons. You will receive two silver coins per day, and an additional gold coin as a bonus upon your return."

"Thank you, Steward."
