Chapter 715: Terrifying Purplish Gold Haoyue Sword (III)
"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.
Chapter 716: Victory by a large Margin (I)
Because of the previous individual competition, the spiritual energy levels were understood to some extent from the mutual encounters. So this spiritual energy stage did not hold too much suspense.
As the champions of the individual competition, Bright Glimmer of Hope's Demon Hunt Squad would be the last one to appear. This was one of the benefits they had gained.
Like the individual competition, the spiritual energy contest did not allow the use of any equipment or boosting pills: everyone was to rely on their individual strength.
A total of twenty-one individuals already formed a circle around the crystal pillar. As the chief referee, Chen Zidian was standing the closest to the crystal pillar's side. Everyone would need to go through his inspection first, so cheating was completely impossible as long as the one on watch was him.
Chen Zidian indicated to the Warrior Temple's head Qiu Yonghao, "Based on the ranking of the first round, the spiritual energy measuring will be taking place in the reverse order of the first competition's ranking. The Warrior Temple shall go first."
Qiu Yonghao nodded and stepped forward to get measured alongside two powerhouses of the Warrior Temple.
In terms of overall strength, the Warrior Temple was the weakest of the six Temples. But they had the greatest population amongst the Six Great Temple, after all, the standards for becoming a warrior were pretty low.
Qiu Yonghao was the first to step forward, lifting his right hand and placing it on the crystal pillar. Immediately, the transparent crystal changed into another color.
A red color rose from the bottom of the crystal pillar, slowly going up to reach a height of about thirty-three meters, at around a tenth of the pillar. Then it turned orange in color, and kept rising up to gain another thirty-three meters and turned yellow.
The colors within the crystal pillar started to slow down as they ascended, and Qiu Yonghao's look became extremely heavy, his forehead dripping with sweat.
From the distinction of colors, red corresponded to a hundred thousand spiritual energy, orange to another hundred thousand spiritual energy. The fact that he had reached the yellow area signified that Qiu Yonghao's spiritual energy had already surpassed 200,000. His age having already crossed a hundred years old, he could only rely on his own strength for this trial.
Finally, the color within the crystal pillar stopped rising after a bit over a half of the yellow area, then Qiu Yonghao's bar stopped going up.
Letting out a light sigh, Qiu Yonghao finally relaxed as an immense golden number arose, floating atop the crystal pillar.
271,364.
This was Qiu Yonghao's total spiritual energy.
The other two powerhouses of the Warrior Temple came next. Their cultivation levels were still quite a bit behind Qiu Yonghao, and they were not yet domain wielding powerhouses. The two of them were about the two hundred thousand mark.
Finally, with the addition of the age bonuses, the Warrior Temple reached a total of 694,160 points.
These results were a bit underwhelming.
After the Warrior Temple came the Assassin Temple. Their situation being a bit better off, their spiritual energy totals reached 783,200, which could be considered not bad.
The Spiritual Temple having obtained a total of fifty-eight points was a bit below the sixty or so of the Priest Temple, making them the third party to go.
Thanks to the strong display of their head Chen Hongyu, they had a final spiritual energy total reaching 832,241, far above the previous two Temples.
The Priest Temple was truly a bit lucky in their first stage of the trials, and did not hold much of a dominance in this second stage. In the end, their spiritual energy total barely reached above 800,000, but was quite below the Spiritual Temple.
So far, four Temples' rankings were settled. Now only the Mage Temple, Knight Temple, and Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope had yet to go.
All knew that the true chance of achieving victory had come. No one was optimistic about Bright Glimmer of Hope in the spiritual energy count rankings. Although they had the advantage of their age, there was no way their total strength would add up to 900,000 or more, so the only question left was who of the Mage Temple or the Knight Temple would be placed above the other.
The Mage Temple had Li Zhengzhi, Mo Wo, and that mage with the greatest defense who controlled an earth elemental domain.
The darkness mage, Mo Wu, and the earth mage were both close to 300,000. Add to this that they were below a hundred years old of age, and they gained some bonuses, the Mage Temple already reached close to 610,000 after the two of them passed.
Li Zhengzhi was the last one to set out. Within the crystal pillar rose several colors. Red, orange, yellow, green, and it finally entered a blue area. Although a lot of people had guesses about Li Zhengzhi's cultivation level, they still could not help but cry out in alarm. This meant that his internal spiritual energy was already above 400,000.
Finally, the pillar stopped in the blue area. Li Zhengzhi's spiritual energy was over 420,000, and adding to that the scores of the other two mages, the Mage Temple had surpassed a million, reaching 1,007,423.
Could the Knight Temple surpass the Mage Temple? The Knight Temple very rapidly gave them a strong response.
The Knight Temple's three did not include the Divine Knight, Long Tianyu, but were under Yang Haoyu's lead, with that Ultimate Shield of the Knight Temple, and the one who made it to the top six.
As the three knights stood, Li Zhengzhi's complexion immediately became a far more unsightly sight to behold.
The Ultimate Shield was the first to go up, his spiritual energy set just above 320,600.
The knight who made it to the top six was the second one to go, his spiritual energy fixed beyond 332,800.
Finally came Yang Haoyu's turn. He calmly approached the crystal pillar, lifting his right hand to touch it lightly.
A shocking scene surfaced. The pillar's colors surged out at once: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, then finally entered a turquoise area.
Number one of the Temple Alliance. That was absolutely not just a simple name. Yang Haoyu protected the Knight Temple's honor with his strength, his internal spiritual energy reaching past 568,000 to exceed Li Zhengzhi's 420,000 by a large margin.
In the end, the Knight Temple surpassed the Mage Temple's total points by 120,000. After this stage, the two Temples' rankings was bound to change.
Bright Glimmer of Hope was the last one to go. Chen Ying'er whose internal spiritual energy reached 170,000 was the first one to go.
Cai'er, whose internal spiritual energy reached 190,000 was the next one to go.
At this point, a lot of people were secretly sighing inwardly. This Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope was, after all, still young. They truly couldn't establish any dominance in this spiritual energy contest.
Finally came Long Haochen's turn. He was the only bright spot Bright Glimmer of Hope had, thanks to the Heart of Eternity. His internal spiritual energy broke through 300,000, before finishing above 310,000.
Thanks to these few days' matches and comprehensions, Long Haochen's cultivation had progressed to some extent. If the Heart of Eternity's extra 90,000 was not counted, his internal spiritual energy would be reaching about 220,000.
In the end, the results of the three totalled over 570,000.
This time, the superiority of the age bonus became the spotlight. Long Haochen was twenty five years old, Cai'er twenty four and Chen Ying'er twenty eight. This added over 233,000 to their spiritual energy total. This gave them a final amount of over 800,000.
Funnily enough, maybe due to an affinity with the god of luck, although their total of spiritual energy was below the Spiritual Temple, it still surpassed the Priest Temple, and by just thirteen points no less.
Finally, the Knight Temple was the uncontroversial number one in the contest of the highest spiritual energy, followed by the Mage Temple, the Spiritual Temple, Bright Glimmer of Hope, the Priest Temple, Assassin Temple, and Warrior Temple.
After this stage terminated, a variation happened to the rankings. On the basis of the rules, the number one gained two hundred points, the number two gained a hundred and fifty, the number three gained a hundred and twenty, the number four gained ninety, the number five gained sixty, and the last one had none.
Because of the addition of Bright Glimmer of Hope, the six sides became seven, and thus the number six would gain thirty points, and the last one none.
So, the ranking was as follows: Bright Glimmer of Hope 442, Knight Temple 280, Mage Temple 255, Spiritual Temple 178, Priest Temple 120, Assassin Temple 64.
Although Bright Glimmer of Hope was only number four of this stage, because of their overwhelming advantage from the first stage, they still had a large lead. While the Knight Temple overtook the Mage Temple, the Warrior Temple remained the most miserable.
Although the previous two rounds of competition were quite frantic, the true rankings would only be determined on tomorrow's meeting. That's because the third round of competition, domain contest, was the most valuable one in terms of points. Based on the rules, the number one would earn over five hundred points. And furthermore, now that this was not a six-sided contest due to the addition of the seventh party Bright Glimmer of Hope, those numbers would very possibly end up higher to some extent.
These matches would very possibly include some turns of events, after all, Long Haochen's group only had approximately a 150% advantage compared to the Knight Temple
So at the end of today's competition, Long Haochen's hurriedly brought his comrades back to the Alliance's headquarters.
"Lin Xin hasn't returned yet?" Long Haochen asked Sima Xian.
Sima Xian shook his head, "Not yet. He told me last evening that he would look for his grandfather to study magic, and has not given any news since then."
Long Haochen nodded lightly, faintly able to guess what Lin Xin was wanting to study. Because there was no need for him in the second and third stages, Lin Xin's absence had no influence on the flow of the competition.
"Captain, let me go up tomorrow." Wang Yuanyuan proposed determinedly.
Chen Ying'er immediately asked anxiously, "Yuanyuan, you can't be planning to fight over it with me!? This third stage permits the use of equipment, so with my Spiritual Saint Robe, I will definitely not suffer a loss."
In the third domain competition, each party was to send three people, all of whom must be domain wielding powerhouses. Bright Glimmer of Hope had four of these, amongst whom Long Haochen and Cai'er would certainly be sent. So, the third seat was naturally to be picked amongst Wang Yuanyuan and Chen Ying'er.
Victory by a large Margin (I)
Because of the previous individual competition, the spiritual energy levels were understood to some extent from the mutual encounters. So this spiritual energy did not hold too much suspense.

The Priest Temple was truly a bit lucky on their first round equivalent tests, and did not hold much of a dominance in this second stage. In the end, their spiritual energy total barely reached the 800,000s, but was quite below the Spiritual Temple.
So far, four Temples' rankings were settled. Now only the Mage Temple, Knight Temple, and Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope had yet to go.
All knew that the true chance of achieving victory had come. No one was optimistic about Bright Glimmer of Hope in the spiritual energy count rankings.

Li Zhengzhi was the last one to set out. Within the crystal pillar rose several colors. Red, orange, yellow, green, to finally enter a blue area. Although a lot of people had guesses about Li Zhengzhi's cultivation level, they still could help but cry out in alarm. This meant that his internal spiritual energy was already above 400,000.
Finally, the pillar stopped in the green area. Li Zhengzhi's spiritual energy was over 420,000, and adding to that the scores of the other two mages, the Mage Temple had surpassed a million, reaching 1,007,423.
Could the Knight Temple surpass the Mage Temple? The Knight Temple gave them very rapidly a strong response.

Finally, the results of the three totalled over 570,000.
This time, the superiority of the age bonus became the spotlight. Long Haochen was twenty five years old, Cai'er twenty four and Chen Ying'er twenty eight. This added over 233,000 to their spiritual energy total. This gave them a final amount of over 800,000.
