Chapter 717: Terrifying Purplish Gold Haoyue Sword (III)

Translator: GravityTales

“Long Haochen, Cai’er, Wang Yuanyuan. Do you three want to keep undergoing the round-robin tournament?” Chen Zidian asked solemnly.

As if everyone had predicted this outcome, the three of them replied simultaneously, “Keep going on!”

Two choices were possible at this point. One was to terminate the tournament, while the other was to keep going on. Every winning match would then reward an extra ten points, for a total of three matches. Should someone defeat the other two, that would rank him or her number one, thus earning yet another twenty points.

These extra rounds were still part of the seventh round of the tournament. In other words, the final champion could almost double his sixty-four total earned points.

Long Haochen declared in a clear voice, “Reporting to referee, Wang Yuanyuan and I are conceding.”

Cai’er looked at Long Haochen in shock. He was Bright Glimmer of Hope’s cpatain, so this individual competition’s champion should rather be him.

Long Haochen smiled to her, “At the time of the Demon Hunter Selection, you conceded in the competition for my sake, for me to finally hurt you. I am now giving this championship back to you. Moreover in my heart, you are the one I will never be able to defeat.”

Cai’er gave him a warm gaze, “Idiot, in my eyes, this is all unimportant.”

“But it is important to me. I don’t want you to have any memories of feeling wronged. We will have many more challenges to face, where I will be giving my all to protect you.”

No one objected to Long Haochen and Wang Yuanyuan’s surrenders. This was within the rules, and was something that could only happen in the case of the three top seats being taken by a single Temple. But actually, even the strongest Knight Temple had never achieved that in the past five hundred years.

Having won these two matches, Cai’er earned an extra twenty points and became champion, thus bringing in another twenty points in addition to the sixty-four total points for the seventh round. That way, another ninety-six points was added to Bright Glimmer of Hope’s point total. And now, after this first stage terminated, Bright Glimmer of Hope had an astonishing three hundred fifty-two total points.

Thus the first out of the four stages of the Temples’ Great Gathering, the individual stage, came to an end. The final winner was the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope.

At that very moment, the powerhouses from the Six Great Temples were all unconsciously standing up, clapping for Bright Glimmer of Hope. Even the legendary figures Chen Zidian and Yang Haoyu did so.

The initially mysterious Demon Hunt Squad became the eventual champions. Perhaps luck was a part of the process, but they had mostly relied on their own strengths.

Just look at these youngsters. They were all below thirty years old, with the youngest of them around twenty-five. But such a Demon Hunt Squad was already standing at the peak of humankind. Hope was emanating continuously from them.

Nightfall.

After returning from the celebrations that took place in the Alliance’s headquarters, Bright Glimmer of Hope’s members returned to cultivate in their own rooms.

After all, the Temples’ Great Gathering had just gotten started, and although they were holding a large lead already, the rest of the competition also had its shares of opportunities.

The Temples’ Great Gathering went at a very fast pace. The next day came the contest for the highest spiritual energy. The highest three in this aspect were undoubtedly their three gods’ chosen ones: Long Haochen, Cai’er and Chen Ying’er. But they did not hold much of an advantage in total spiritual energy, after all, their age was an important factor to take into account.

According to the rules, every year of age below a hundred years old was to be accounted for a thousand spiritual energy, and every year of age above that was to subtract a thousand spiritual energy.

The three of them had their spiritual energy totals above 200,000, since they were all domain wielders. Thus, although their spiritual energy totals did not really stand out in the scale of the Alliance, they still held a good competitiveness.

As the others went back to cultivate in their own chambers, Lin Xin entered a room on his own, stealthily making his way into the Mage Temple’s side.

Naturally the Mage Temple’s guards recognized him, in his identity as the grandson of an auxiliary head, in addition to his originally high position in the Temple, of course no one stopped him.

On the highest floor of the Mage Temple’s inner quarters, Lin Xin stopped in front of a certain room, knocking on the door after hesitating for a bit.

“Come in.” Lin Chen’s aged voice came out from the room.

Lin Xin pulled the door open and entered.

Lin Chen’s office was very large, covering an area close to two hundred square meters. There were leather sofas for guests, bookcases lined two walls, and to the side, a huge ancient wooden desk. Lin Chen was seated behind his desk, a book on magic in his hands.

“Grandpa.” Lin Xin bowed to Lin Chen before joining his side.

Lin Chen closed the book in his hands, lifting his head to glance at his grandson, “You shouldn’t have come. Your Bright Glimmer of Hope having achieved such results, your return to our Mage Temple would very likely cause complaints. Your comrades wouldn’t be happy over that.”

Lin Xin chuckled, “Let them complain, so what? As for my comrades, they won’t suspect me. I am honorably visiting my grandfather. So what about that?”

Lin Chen laughed, “You brat, stop giving me this bullshit. You stil remember about your grandfather? Tell me, what have you come to me for?”

Li Xin let out a laugh, but did not immediately speak, still having some hesitation on his face.

“So? You’re not like yourself, if you have something to say, say it.”

Hearing his grandfather’s manner of speech, as if building his resolve, Lin Xin firmly declared, “Grandpa, I want to learn Saint Sun Curse from you.”

“What?” Lin Chen was in great shock, standing abruptly, unaware his chair falling down to the ground.

Giving a blank look to his grandson, Lin Chen’s aged face seemed to twitch due to excitement, “You… Are you for real?”

Lin Xin nodded vigorously, “Grandpa, I want to learn Saint Sun Curse from you. Although it caused the loss of Father and Mother back then, the spell itself is not to be blamed. More importantly, I need this power. As my comrades are getting stronger and stronger, I also need strengthen my own training as well, so that I don’t drop behind and can follow them in the conflict against demonkind. So please, pass Saint Sun Curse onto me. I will be certain to carry forward this secret technique, and research it as the base of my own domain.

Lin chen looked at Lin Xin, remaining silent for several seconds. On this day of great discouragement, he absolutely didn’t expect his grandson to actually bring him such a pleasant surprise.

Although Lin Chen had broken through the ninth step already, his heart was like dead due to Lin Xin’s disappearance. These five short years felt as long as ten years to him.

Lin Xin’s final safe return was like a spark of life pouring back into him. He no longer had any hope other than for his grandson to come back alive.

And in the rest of the Temples’ Great Gathering, Lin Xin gave him even greater surprises. On this day after only a few short years, Lin Xin’s cultivation had actually already broken through the ninth step, and was already no inferior to his own. The Heart of Fire was really far stronger than before, and he had actually even made it to the top six of the competition. Such achievements reassured Lin Chen greatly: he may be taking part as a part of Bright Glimmer of Hope, but so what about it?

In Lin Chen’s eyes, Lin Xin had already been walking on a path of his own. His grandson being already so powerful, he had no will to importune Lin Xin, after all Saint Sun Curse had been an immense burden in Lin Xin’s heart.

For him to now be willing to learn offensive magic was already huge progress.

At that very moment, Lin Xin was standing in front of him, unexpectedly asking him about learning Saint Sun Curse to inherit a generation of Lin Chen’s efforts. How could that not excite him greatly? No, that was already beyond the description of the word excitement’. This grandfather was simply on the verge of collapse from bliss.

Lin Xin supported his dazed grandfather’s body, giving off a laugh, “Don’t get excited. If something bad happens to you, who will be there to teach me Saint Sun Curse? Just look, I will definitely make your creation a mass destruction weapon in the future, to scare all demonkind witless as the dark era will come to an end. Grandpa, please live well until that day comes.”

Lin Chen’s body shook slightly as he nodded consecutively, “Alright, alright. I will be sure to wait for this day, for sure. Come, I am bringing you to the experimental field to teach you Saint Sun Curse.”

Although it was already nighttime, Lin Chen’s excitement had affected him a bit too, as the grandson was also pulled outwards.

Lin Xin was not part of tomorrow’s competition, so he naturally had no qualms staying up all night. Grandfather and grandson excitedly left the room and proceeded for the magic experiment room.

A short time after they were gone, another nearby door opened close to Lin Chen’s office. Li Zhengzhi came out from within, looking towards their departure route, appearing in great ponder. Who knew what he was thinking?

The Temples’ Great Gathering’s individual competition was over, but the masses in Holy City were not the least relaxed, but instead even more excited.

The competition kept going, and today the Priest Temple was also part of the festivities. The total ranking was bound to change accordingly; after the Priest Temple underwent their first round of spiritual energy assessment, it brought them a final total of sixty points, a result close to all the previous sessions.

Today, every Temple would send their strongest three people for spiritual energy assessment.

A huge crystal pillar was erected on the center of the field on the previous evening, specialized for spiritual energy measuring.

Right now, the Six Great Temples had all already dispatched three of their people, and Bright Glimmer of Hope was no exception.
