Chapter 686: Chapter 342 Tao Linlin’s Hesitation_2

Tao Linlin laughed bitterly, "I initially thought that my progress was already quite quick. But it turns out, I still lack accumulated strength! After all, it’s impossible to make up for the age gap. Do you know, among our Soul Temple, there are three seniors of the 8th Rank. Being a summoner, the difference between the 8th and 7th Rank is like night and day, the magical beasts they can summon are way stronger. It is quite hard to resist. Apart from them, the ones who are participating in the competition this time have almost all received assistance from our teachers. They have gathered up a collection of powerful summoned beasts, so I find it will be quite challenging for me to make it to the top six."

Long Dangdang knew that the number of competitors from the Soul Temple was relatively fewer, but this didn’t mean that their individual strengths weren’t strong. As Tao Linlin said, there were three at the 8th Rank, and currently, all six seed players were present. The next round will decide the top six, Tao Linlin probably had to face one of the seed players, maybe even an 8th Rank one. No wonder he appeared to have no confidence. After all, whether it was a spirit furnace or equipment, he didn’t have any significant advantages.

Without a doubt, among Demon Hunter Team 19115897, the knights are the strongest. Yes, the knights. Even combined, the Long brothers were definitely the strongest in the team, followed by the priest, then the mage and the warrior. The summoner and the assassin were the weakest links.

Tao Linlin had once been in the limelight for a short time due to having a wyvern summoned beast, but ever since his teammates’ cultivation levels had all come up, he had unknowingly started to lag behind a little again. He had thought that he became much stronger after getting to the 7th Rank, but in this competition, he really saw the strong young generation of our temple. However, being of spirit furnace academia background, he certainly had disadvantage in age. He was only four years older than the Long brothers. Based on his current cultivation speed, it should be no problem for him to reach the 8th Rank by the age of twenty-seven or twenty-eight. But aiming for the top six right now is indeed challenging.

By this time, Ling Menglu had already walked over, "Our progress is so fast that we didn’t have time to secure better summoned beasts for senior Tao."

For a summoner, the summoned birth sign beast is undoubtedly the most important. However, apart from this, a contracted summoned beast is also important, but this requires accumulation. Summoned beasts purely summoned through magic fields take longer and require a certain amount of luck. Therefore, the most direct way to enhance a summoner’s strength is to help him have contracted summoned beasts that are relatively strong and under control.

There’s no doubt that many summoners have received help from their teachers and have gotten quite a few powerful contracted summoned beasts for this contest. But Tao Linlin’s teacher had gone on a mission and was not at headquarters.

Long Dangdang suddenly had an idea, he leaned over and whispered something in Tao Linlin’s ear.

After hearing it, Tao Linlin became stunned for a moment, "Isn’t that... not right? Could that be considered as cheating?"

Long Dangdang said, "Since other summoners also have teachers helping them get summoned beasts, it isn’t really cheating. Moreover, this Great Impartation Contest is of great significance. Although the final reward hasn’t been announced yet, it surely won’t be disappointing. As such, we cannot miss it. No matter what, senior, aim for one of the top six spots to participate in the final competition."

Ling Menglu nodded and said, "The information I got also suggests the same. The pressure brought by the Wraith Kingdom is currently immense. Therefore, this Great Impartation Contest is almost like selecting the future Sacred Legate inheritors, even the divine artifact inheritors, for the Temples. It is very likely that the Legates will soon join the battlefield. Senior Tao, tomorrow, I will use Xiao Ming to solidify two magic spells on the Demon Suppression Tree for you. Good luck."

Hearing this, Tao Linlin gritted his teeth and nodded firmly, "Alright. I’ll give it my all."

Long Dangdang turned to Wang Changxin and asked, "How about on your side, senior sister?"

Wang Changxin nodded and simply said, "I should be able to do it." With her character, if she says this, it means she is very confident.

The participants from the six great sacred temples who are participating in this Great Impartation Contest are primarily knights, mages and warriors, so two more rounds are still needed to determine the top six. The positions for the remaining temples will be mostly determined by tomorrow.

"I can also do it!" Long Kongkong immediately jumped in from the side.

Long Dangdang stared at him and said, "Don’t underestimate this, be careful. Don’t hesitate to use the Adamantine Cathedra when necessary, winning is the most important thing."

Long Kongkong grinned, saying, "Don’t worry, brother. You have no idea how powerful I am now. After today’s competition, I’m sure they all shat their pants. By the time we reach the finals, I might even rank second. My cousin will be the first, and I will be second. And brother, I won’t go easy on you when we face off."

"I think you’re getting cocky!" Tao Linlin couldn’t help but laugh, "You haven’t been knocked down a few pegs by society. Let your brother give you a good lesson later, you’ll be disciplined then."

Long Dangdang gave him a glance and said nonchalantly, "If you can last one minute in my hands, consider it your win."

Long Kongkong blinked, "Big brother, would you really bear to use your suicidal move against your cute little brother?"

The corners of Long Dangdang’s mouth lifted slightly. "On the competition stage, there are only opponents, no brothers."

One minute might sound arrogant, but it’s actually a reflection of their combat styles. If Long Dangdang were to fight his brother, the quickest way to defeat him would be to finish the match in the shortest time possible. Otherwise, if he allowed the Touch of the Abyss to entangle him, he wouldn’t be able to hold on for too long.

Seeing the familiar expression on his brother’s face, Long Kongkong quickly surrendered, "Brother, I was wrong."

Long Dangdang ignored him, and was about to suggest everyone start their practice when he was surprised to discover that after speaking with Tao Linlin, Ling Menglu didn’t stay by his side, but turned around and left, not even casting a glance at him.

What happened? He was a bit confused.

With the bright moon in the sky, Long Dangdang sent a private message to Ling Menglu, "Why are you ignoring me?"

With the bright moon in the sky, Ling Menglu responded to Long Dangdang, "Hmph, I’m angry."

With the bright moon in the sky, Long Dangdang sent a private message to Ling Menglu, "Ah? Why are you angry?"

With the bright moon in the sky, Ling Menglu responded to Long Dangdang, "Figure it out yourself."

With the bright moon in the sky, Long Dangdang sent a private message to Ling Menglu, "Well... I went to the Priest’s Temple earlier to try to watch your match, but they said you’d already finished and left. You drew the third lot today, didn’t you? I was just about to ask you how the match went."

With the bright moon in the sky, Ling Menglu responded to Long Dangdang, "Okay, then I’m not angry anymore."

Long Dangdang watched as Ling Menglu turned back around, walking back to him with a smirking, and he felt a bit helpless. Ah, the hearts of women...

Under the assistance of the upgraded Dazzling Starlight Spirit Furnace, everyone’s training effect was improving rapidly, and they could feel noticeable improvement every day. A night passed without words, and the competition entered its third day.

Tao Linlin arrived at the test field of the Soul Temple with a mix of nervousness and excitement.

competitors remained in the matches at the Soul Temple. That meant after this match, the top six for the current Great Impartation Contest at the Soul Temple would be determined, who would then participate in the final comprehensive tournament.

Among the six Great Sacred Temples, outstanding talents would be awarded the honor of becoming a reserve Sacred Legate. But that didn’t mean they would inevitably become a Sacred Legate, as this required countless tests. However, this Great Impartation Contest was different. Those who performed well, especially the top six of each Great Sacred Temple, might genuinely become reserve Sacred Legates. This was something that Tao Linlin hadn’t even dared to dream of in the past, but the opportunity was now suddenly within his grasp.
