Chapter 253: Chapter 125 Number 3 and Number 5_2

The technique of Power Accumulation had its limits. Once the energy collected reached its maximum, it had to be released, and the resulting outburst of spiritual power would undeniably be mighty, thereby consuming a great deal of the user’s own energy. Considering the considerable size of the field and the range of a Knight’s attack, hitting him from afar wouldn’t be easy. The Jade Scales Leopard had a unique innate talent to shake off lock-on attacks. So after some contemplation, he decided not to approach, maintaining the distance from Long Dangdang. ’I won’t interrupt your Power Accumulation; your tactics are useless if you can’t execute them. Once your Power Accumulation explodes and you’ve exhausted your spiritual power, that’ll be my chance.’

One was accumulating power, while the other calmly moved farther away. The beginning of this match was undoubtedly lackluster, but those with discerning eyes could tell that both parties were handling it well. Wang Changxin, who was riding the Jade Scales Leopard, wasn’t recklessly rushing to attack, which made many high-ranking officials in the Knights Temple nod in approval.

Nan Yu’s attention was focused on Long Dangdang. Even within the Knights Temple, not many knew that he was a reserve Sacred Legate. Long Dangdang’s performance yesterday was rather ordinary. The execution of his Whirling Swing Sword technique wasn’t smooth. It was obvious that he had only recently started practicing it. Although he did not take long to defeat his opponent, the fighting skills he demonstrated left him squarely in the middling ranks, far from meeting the expectations of a reserve Sacred Legate.

However, Nan Yu suspected that this young man was deliberately holding back in the preliminary matches. Therefore, he was most concerned with Long Dangdang’s match. In contrast, Long Kongkong’s Holy Diversion Devouring was much more impressive. The Spirit Furnaces Fusion technique performed by a teenager was a spectacle for the audience. Long Kongkong was the star of the show at the knight’s selection yesterday, attracting the attention of many senior members. Even the knight who was defeated by Long Kongkong was later questioned about his experience being hit by the Spirit Furnaces Fusion technique.

At this point, seeing Long Dangdang merely sustaining his accumulated power while his opponent had already distanced himself, and also had a Jade Scales Leopard (a unique magical beast known for its speed, burst strength, and toxins), the situation didn’t look promising for Long Dangdang.

In the previous match, Long Dangdang had summoned Little Evil Eye, a small magical beast that at most might be a Level 2, equivalent to the 2nd Rank of humans, which wouldn’t prove much use at this level of competition. As for the golden dragon Little Eight, it was practically useless too, being only 1st Rank and still in need of a lot of growth time.

How would Long Dangdang, who was clearly at a disadvantage, deal with an opponent who had not only come from the Spirit Furnace Academy like him but was also more advanced and slightly older than him?

Long Dangdang’s Power Accumulation seemed calm. He seemed in no hurry, while Wang Changxin cunningly rode the Jade Scales Leopard to Long Dangdang’s side, maintaining as much distance as possible, and keeping his actions out of Long Dangdang’s sight.

The biggest drawback of Power Accumulation was immobility. Any movement would interrupt the accumulation. Therefore, Long Dangdang couldn’t even turn his head, making it impossible for him to see what was outside his field of vision. As for psychic detection, this was not a strong suit for Level 5 Knights. After all, Knights weren’t particularly adept with spiritual power.

When the Jade Scales Leopard came to a blind spot outside of Long Dangdang’s line of sight, a shadow quietly spread out from beneath the Leopard, while Wang Changxin quickly controlled his mount to reenter Long Dangdang’s field of vision, distracting him.

The pale green shadow silently approached Long Dangdang from the side while Wang Changxin rode the Jade Scales Leopard towards the part of the field farthest from Long Dangdang.

Should Long Dangdang let loose his accumulated power, his concealed attack and his very person would rapidly strike and explode. Ideally, a Punisher Knight, once in action, should not give the opponent any chance to retaliate, it should be a one-hit kill!

Within a short span of two minutes, although there was no battle, tactical maneuvers were already colliding. Suddenly, Long Dangdang’s eyes emitted dazzling light, and his knight’s sword shone in bright gold.

Here it comes! Wang Changxin’s eyes focused in an instant, his spiritual power overwhelming, ready to respond. From such a distance, even if Long Dangdang’s attack did reach him, its power would certainly have lessened significantly.

However, right at that moment, he clearly saw a burst of golden light emanating from Long Dangdang’s chest, and a golden three-legged furnace radiated with a magnificent glow.

What is that?

At first glance, Wang Changxin was unable to recognize what kind of spirit furnace this was, but the alarm bells ringing in his head were rapidly increasing.

Without any hesitation, he immediately commanded the shadow that had already lurked behind Long Dangdang to launch an attack.

Adaptation, this was what every student at the Spirit Furnace Academy had to learn. The moment Long Dangdang released his spirit furnace, he felt threatened, and immediately changed his original plan, intending to interrupt Long Dangdang’s current attack first.

The faint green silhouette hiding on the ground suddenly rose into the air, transforming into a faint green image of a jade-scaled leopard in mid-air, and directly charged towards Long Dangdang’s body. The jade scales leopard shadow, once it attached to the enemy, it would erupt with intense poison, transmitting the poison into the enemy’s body and causing severe damage. This is the jade scales leopard’s innate talent skill for hunting. It’s silent and extremely insidious.

However, at this moment, Wang Changxin saw that beneath the pale golden spirit furnace that Long Dangdang had previously summoned, another peculiar conical spirit furnace had surprisingly appeared. As soon as this spirit furnace appeared, its surface swiftly opened up like flower petals, transforming into a pure white lotus shape.

Is this? The Divine Lotus Spirit Furnace? He recognized this spirit furnace. Then, a layer of white light erupted from within Long Dangdang, and the jade scales leopard shadow that was launching an attack behind him was instantly flung away. The simplified version of the Holy Light Spiritual Array Formation, the defensive skill of the Divine Lotus Spirit Furnace. It also carries a purification feature, causing the jade scales leopard shadow to suddenly emit a green smoke and disperse upon collision.

How did he know about the attack from behind? The jade scales leopard shadow has the assassin’s unique abilities for stealth and concealment!

How would he know that Long Dangdang is not just a knight, but also a mage, and his spiritual power is not inferior to a mage of the same rank, and may even be stronger. After all, he now has the support of Little Evil Eye.

Just as he was puzzling over this, a brilliant golden light has already shot out from the first spirit furnace. When that golden light fell on Wang Changxin, he finally understood what this spirit furnace really was.

The Holy Diversion Spirit Furnace! A 2nd Rank Holy Diversion Spirit Furnace. That is... Redirection!

Yes, Redirection.

A powerful pulling force immediately pulled Wang Changxin’s body towards Long Dangdang. The Redirection ability of a 2nd Rank Holy Diversion Spirit Furnace was impossible to resist within the same rank; the opponent could only be pulled towards you to engage in close combat. This wouldn’t be much of an issue for two close-combat opponents, but when the target being redirected is about to face a foe who has been preparing for over two minutes, it isn’t as tolerable.

Wang Changxin let out a cold shout. His reaction was very quick, after all, he had been studying at the Spirit Furnace Academy for three years, and his adaptability was still quite good.

The jade scales leopard beneath him deliberately sped up, and what he needed to do now was to first break away from Long Dangdang’s combat expectation. The knight’s swords in both hands simultaneously shone with dazzling brilliance, Dual Swords Daylight Slash. At the same time, the jade-scaled leopard beneath him emitted a powerful jade-green glow. Its speed instantaneously reached its peak, and it actually used the pulling force of Long Dangdang’s Holy Diversion Spirit Furnace to suddenly burst into full power. At this point, Long Dangdang seemed to have pulled two mini suns towards himself.

Long Dangdang’s expression remained unchanged. He abruptly took a step forward with his left foot. As soon as his foot landed on the ground, there was a loud explosion sound within his body. At the same time, a dazzling red light lit up all over his body. The heavy sword in his hands shone like jade at this moment!

Explosive Burst, Sacrifice, Sacred Sword!
