Chapter 689: Starry Sky Holy Knight (II)

“What?” Tan Wan lost her voice, “How could that be? Becoming a Divine Knight means having at least one divine tool, as well as becoming an auxiliary head of the Knight Temple.”

Lin Zhengzhi sighed, “ Of course, Yang Haoyu knew this much, but he is really overly proud. This genius with a Starry Sky of the ninth step immediately gained approval from a Divine Throne, and if at that time he had accepted, he would immediately have become a Divine Knight. But he didn’t do so, and chose to issue a request to the greatest, and never before used Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. ”

“In the end, the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation rejected him, and he did not choose another Divine Throne. After being bestowed the title of Starry Sky Holy Knight, he started to undergo a long time of seclusion, and, reportedly, he attempted to gain once again the approval from the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, but, in the end, he did not succeed. Because his time spent in seclusion was just too long, he has since long disappeared from the watch of the Six Great Temples’ higher-ups. I didn’t expect Yang Haohan to have actually invited him to this Temples’ Great Gathering.”

Reaching that point, Li Zhengzhi’s expression became quite desolate, “It looks that I was too confident in myself. The Knight Temple’s trump card...”

Tan Wan seemed to become unconvinced, “Teacher, could it be that you are still unable to defeat him?”

Li Zhengzhi shook his head, “If I am up against him, my odds of victory are definitely under fifty percent even without restrictions, and the use of equipment being allowed. Have a good look, he will show you the strength of a Starry Sky Divine Beast. It is regarded as the number one divine beast, and Yang Haoyu is the chief elder of the Knight Temple. This time, Long Haochen should get taught a deep lesson, but that’s good as well. He’s too young, and to a youngster, getting defeated is sometimes the best lesson one can have.”

If Long Haochen could hear Li Zhengzhi’s words, he would surely be left with a deep impression, because he formerly suffered a blow of the most massive kind, costing him his own life. Now that he was living a second life, he had long since become entirely transparent, as peaceful as water.

Long Haochen did not know that Yang Haoyu had such a glorious history. Looking at the armor and weapon on him, he couldn’t help but feel startled, though his gaze very rapidly returned to normal, a golden hexagon having appeared around him.

Despite not knowing about Yang Haoyu’s glory, he could sense a massive threat from him, and didn’t feel confident in being able to defeat this powerful knight.

The hexagonal light in front of Long Haochen was mild, glinting in golden color, and slowly tracing lines of multicolored halos. Multicolored light symbolized a special realm, an existence equivalent in some ways to divine tools.

Immediately, a tall figure appeared in front of Long Haochen, measuring over four meters, and over two meters tall. It had a pair of massive wings spreading out from his two sides, and was entirely lustrous gold colored. The sole horn atop its head was colored in the seven colors of the rainbow, and the instant it appeared, a light essence gushed out throughout the whole stadium, making visible the multicolored light spiralling around its body. The dots of starlight that had originally appeared in the air were dispelled in the scope of this multicolored halation.

“Divine Unicorn?” Yang Haoyu was shocked upon looking at the magical beast standing in front of Long Haochen.

In legends, some magical beasts were known as the optimum mounts for knights, and knights possessing such mounts were given a special name.

First, the number one ranked were Divine Gigantic Dragon Riding Knights, followed by Divine Unicorn Riding Knights, followed by all the types of dragon-riding knights. Divine Unicorns were ranked number two for the massive boosts and glory they gave to a knight.

Yang Haoyu was named Starry Sky Holy Knight because of his mount too, but a Starry Sky Divine Beast was not even written down in any ancient records, so it did not appear in the original ranking of the mount titles of knights. Because of its great power, it was added onto the ranking afterwards, but Long Haochen’s Divine Unicorn was the true second-ranked being in the rankings.

Long Haochen’s figure flashed to sit on the Divine Unicorn’s back. Immediately, the latter dispersed a multicolored halation, rendering his body multicolored, as well as causing Long Haochen’s figure to look blurry.

There used to be a legend in ancient times that girls had as an ideal for a lover someone who could step through multicolored clouds, clad in golden saint armor. Those so called multicolored clouds pointed at Divine Unicorns, as for the golden saint armor, the current humankind did not know what it was, but in some manner, a Divine Throne could definitely be regarded as such. Isn’t that so?

A Divine Unicorn had already not appeared for many years, having vanished from Shengmo Dalu long ago. No one imagined that Long Haochen would actually summon such a mount to aid him in battle. Being disallowed from using equipment did not mean mounts’ boosts were forbidden.

After a short time of surprise, Yang Haoyu’s look very rapidly returned to normal, but he did not immediately rush to the assault, but spoke toward the lounge of the Knight Temple, “Chief referee, I have a request. Because of my magical beast, I have no use for weapons, so my ability is unrelated to weaponry. So I will be clearly advantaged after summoning my comrade. Therefore, please especially permit Long Haochen to use any of his other equipment in this battle.”

These words immediately shocked everyone present. Despite being fully aware that Long Haochen had summoned a Divine Unicorn, ranked number two among knight mounts, Yang Haoyu unexpectedly still requested to permit him the use of other equipment. Was this out of pride? He visibly viewed Long Haochen to be far from being his own opponent.

On the side of the Knight Temple’s resting area for contestants, all Bright Glimmer of Hope had grotesque looks upon hearing Yang Haoyu’s words. Lin Xin couldn’t help but remark, “Isn’t this old knight overly self-confident? Could it be that he didn’t see Boss’ Light God Domain.”

Long Tianying swept him with a glance, and declared lightly, “Youngsters being self-confident is a good thing, but they mustn’t become blindly arrogant. Haochen is outstanding, but I am not optimistic in his victory. You should all know that as early as fifty years ago, Brother Yang was known as the Starry Sky Holy Knight, whose fame matched with Chen Zidian, and, although he was not a Divine Knight, he was still the number one powerhouse of the Knight Temple. If not for the utter importance of this Temples’ Great Gathering, we wouldn’t have requested Brother Yang to step into the fights. Haochen’s father, my son Long Xingyu, is only at most a follower learning from the records Brother Yang left behind.”

Hearing Long Tianying say this much, all Bright Glimmer of Hope’s member felt that Long Haochen was facing a really powerful existence.

A Divine Knight was only a follower using the records he left behind, and an even stronger existence than the legendary Chen Zidian… What’s with Boss’ luck!

Long Tianying calmly declared, “I have no qualms telling you now that even through I am not sure of whether Li Zhengzhi managed to break through successfully, there is only one person who managed to break through the fourth rank of the ninth step prior to Li Zhengzhi, and that person is this Starry Sky Holy Knight.”

Hearing that, all Bright Glimmer of Hope’s members couldn’t help but feel shocked. All of them aside from Duan Yi and Yang Wenzhao had reached the ninth step, but came to deeply understand how hard cultivation gets upon reaching this realm. Almost every hundred spiritual energy would come with its own bottleneck, so what could it mean to have broken through the fourth rank of the ninth step? It meant that Yang Haoyu’s internal spiritual energy surpassed four hundred thousand. And they all knew about Long Haochen’s current cultivation: second rank of the ninth step, and stopped at the bottleneck to the third rank. But having the Heart of Eternity gave him an extra ninty thousand spiritual energy, causing his internal spiritual energy to already be over two hundred ninety thousand.

However, he was still only at the peak of the second rank, having yet to get to the third rank, while Yang Haoyu already reached the fifth rank’s realm.

At the ninth step, every rank had enormous gaps, affecting a lot of variables. One could say that every rank to break through upon reaching the ninth step would require expending great efforts which are no easier than the initial breakthrough to the ninth step.

But, after a short time of shock, the group very rapidly calmed down, sitting upright and watching in the direction of the stadium.

Long Tianying found out with shock that these youngsters all looked confident and resolved. For them to remain so confident despite knowing about Yang Haoyu’s strength meant that they all held a sort of faith toward Long Haochen deep in their hearts. And this faith gave them an absolute certainty on Long Haochen’s victory.

“Since you say so, Long Haochen is specially allowed to make use of equipment.” Chen Zidian replied very rapidly, unexpectedly agreeing in a premise that the overwhelming majority of the spectators believed that this chief referee would not possibly accept.

Some slightly younger higher-ups from the Six Great Temple felt incomprehension. The Great Temples’ Gathering promoted fairness at the top, but could it be called fair for the other contestants to permit the use of equipment to Long Haochen.

But the older veterans watched Yang Haoyu attentively. Even those who hadn’t met this legendary Starry Sky Holy Knight before had all heard about his story before.

Long Haochen had already won against Qiu Yonghao, becoming the representative individual of the younger generation. In this match, the issue of the final victor did not even matter any more. More importantly, all those people involved by the Mage Temple had great changes of heart.

For the Knight Temple to have a powerhouse such as the Starry Sky Holy Knight, and moreover a great pride such as Long Haochen in this younger generation, could the Mage Temple really take over their rule? People with eyes to see all knew the answer to that question.
