Chapter 252: Chapter 125 No.3 and No.5_1

Long Dangdang and Long Kongkong had no idea how the attack of the high-level wraith was handled at the Temple Headquarters, but the demon hunting team selection competition had to continue. Moreover, there was no time to rest.

After a night of cultivation, the sibling trio gathered together and headed straight for the grand arena. From today onwards, they would have to participate in the competition on their own. With yesterday’s preliminary selection, the number of competitors today would be halved.

Along the way, Long Kongkong kept peeking around, watching for any signs of another attack. Maybe it was because he had his brother and cousin with him, but deep down, he was really hoping for the jade scaled woman to appear again.

However, contrary to his wishes, or perhaps due to the Temple’s cleanup of the Holy City, they managed to reach the grand arena without any incidents.

"Wait for me after the match," Ling Menglu greeted the two of them before she headed towards the Priests Temple.

The preliminary competition didn’t follow the drawing order of yesterday. Instead, a new drawing was made. This was done to prevent any premature tracking of opponents and strategizing, thus making the competition as fair as possible.

"Bro, you draw first, we should spread out our drawing times. I don’t want to go up against you," Long Kongkong patted Long Dangdang’s shoulder.

Long Dangdang drew as per requested, and this time his position turned out to be quite a mark, the third one.

When Long Kongkong drew after waiting for a while, he broke out in cold sweat, he drew the fifth one. It was really a close call. He nearly encountered his brother in the second round of the preliminaries.

"That really caught me off guard! Almost doubling my troubles, what’s all this about? Oh, heavens! You can’t be so cruel to me!" As he spoke, Long Kongkong earnestly bowed towards the sky.

Long Dangdang said with annoyance, "I told you splitting our drawing times was unreliable, we should’ve drawn together. Prepare for the competition. It’s almost our turn."

The first match was uneventful. It was between two graduating Knights from the Temple Alliance Main Hall. Their abilities were comparable, and it took them over ten minutes to determine a winner. The narrowly victor suffered significant injuries and both were treated by Priests before stepping off the stage.

"Third and fourth in the arena to compete." The referee called out.

Long Dangdang who had already been waiting at the side of the arena, stood up upon hearing the call and stepped into the field. His opponent looked serious at this point, not knowing if it was the bad luck of Long Dangdang or his own. This competitor was a student from the Spirit Furnace Academy’s Knights Class Three and was called Wang Changxin. He looked serious because he had seen Long Dangdang before. He was also one of the witnesses when Dangdang and Kongkong assisted Ling Menglu in casting Forbidden Spell.

Being chosen by the so-named Goddess, Ling Menglu, who had actually cast a Forbidden Spell once, Long Dangdang, despite being a first-year student, was by no means underestimated. In fact, he was one of the opponents that Changxin least wanted to get matched against.

At this moment, Long Dangdang’s face was also serious. The third-year students of the Spirit Furnace Academy would definitely be more difficult to deal with than the graduates from the Temple Academy who were below the 6th Rank. This match was going to be tough, and he still had to fight with some restraint. In order to rank among the top in the final stage of the competition, he needed to reveal as little of his potential as possible. After all, the other Temples housed countless strong competitors, and there would be many more tough matches ahead. According to Ling Menglu’s calculations, the best result would be for her and Long Dangdang to secure the top two positions in the selection competition. While it should not be difficult for Ling Menglu, it was not an easy task for Long Dangdang.

"Begin the match!" At the referee’s callout, Long Dangdang’s second competition officially began.

Unlike his previous opponent, the one in front of him, Wang Changxin, released his mount almost immediately. It was a magical beast with jade green scales covering its entire body like a leopard - the jade scales leopard, a very rare breed of leopard magical beast. Measuring over two meters in length, it may not be significantly bulky, but it was swift and adept at releasing deadly toxins. Its growth limit was at the 9th peak level, although it couldn’t reach the 10th level, it was still a mighty magical beast.

With a leap, Wang Changxin landed on the back of the jade scales leopard. His spiritual power surged across his body, and the faint golden liquid spiritual power swiftly engulfed him. Each of his hands held a heavy estoc, and instead of charging straight towards Long Dangdang, the jade scales leopard moved off to the side.

As a Punisher Knight, he chose the jade scales leopard, a magical beast renowned for its offensive capabilities, to capitalize on its speed and burst power.

Long Dangdang’s eyes were slightly narrowed. All he had in his hand was a heavy sword, without any shields. Seeing his opponent’s cautious probing, he acted as if he didn’t notice and slowly lifted his heavy sword overhead with both hands while a faint golden halo rose from his feet. Power Accumulation!

Yes, at this moment, he chose to go for Power Accumulation. It was clear that his opponent intended to use the Leopard’s Speed for maneuvering. Hence, he was not in a hurry and would instead raise his own spiritual power through Power Accumulation.

It was clear to see that the golden color on Long Dangdang was rapidly intensifying. The Knight’s heavy sword in his hand also began to emit a faint golden halo. As the golden light grew stronger, the Luminosity aura continued to rise around him, seemingly undisturbed by the distance between him and his opponent.

Contrary to expectations, Wang Changxing did not rush forward to interrupt Long Dangdang’s Power Accumulation. As a top student from the Spirit Furnace Academy, he was very familiar with various low-to-middle-rank Knight skills.
