Are They All Monsters from Odin Town?

A buzzing sound suddenly came from the doorway.

The three of them turned to look at the same time, only to see a "macho man" slowly approaching.

He was at least eight feet tall, and his waist was at least eight feet around as well. Every step he took made the ground creak faintly as though it could barely bear his weight.

He had to weigh over three hundred pounds.

If he had not still looked vaguely human, Ye Tian would have thought Patrick Star had arrived!

The corner of Li Xin's eye twitched as she complained irritably, "Uncle Nalan, you really should lose some weight. Otherwise, I'm afraid the Haoyue Branch Hall will collapse under you one day!"

"How is it as exaggerated as Xin'er says?"

Nalan Shu rubbed his belly without getting angry, then smiled at Ye Tian.

"Little fellow, you're Ye Tian, right? Old Zhao has told me about you for a long time. You have sixty-five points of spiritual power at just nine years old. Another genius has emerged from our Haoyue Branch Hall!"

Nalan Shu's chubby face trembled slightly, and his gaze burned as though he had found a priceless treasure.

"You flatter me, Hall Master. I don't deserve such praise."

Seeing that Ye Tian remained calm without showing the slightest hint of arrogance, Nalan Shu's smile grew even brighter, and his assessment of Ye Tian rose another level.

Then his gaze fell on Long Haochen.

"And this little fellow is?"

Long Haochen stepped forward and placed a hand over his chest in salute. "Hall Master Nalan, my name is Long Haochen. My teacher asked me to deliver a letter to you."

"Your teacher is?" Nalan Shu asked curiously.

Long Haochen did not answer. Instead, he took a letter from his clothes.

"My teacher said you would know after reading it."

"Fine, then!"

Nalan Shu nodded and casually accepted the letter before opening it.

At first, he thought it was from some old friend. But after scanning it a few times, his expression changed drastically, and even his corpulent body unconsciously straightened.

"What's going on? Is Haochen's teacher someone important?" Li Xin poked Ye Tian's arm and asked curiously.

Nalan Shu might look like a harmless fat man, but he was still an Earth Knight, one of the few powerful experts in the Knight Holy Temple.

Yet a single letter had frightened him so badly.

Ye Tian chuckled inwardly, but merely shook his head on the surface. "I don't know either. After all, I've only met Haochen's teacher once. I only know his name is Xingyu."

Just as Li Xin was about to say something else, Nalan Shu finished reading the letter.

"I understand Lord Xingyu's request. Come with me!"

With that, Nalan Shu turned and walked out of the office first.

Long Haochen quickly followed. Li Xin pulled Ye Tian along as well, eager to watch the excitement.

The group soon arrived on the third floor.

Nalan Shu stepped forward and raised the Spiritual Power Assessment Pillar.

Looking at the familiar scene before him, Ye Tian could not help feeling emotional.

Back then, he had come here for a test as well. In the blink of an eye, a year had passed. Time really flew!

"Lord Xingyu sent you here for the Quasi-Knight assessment. Next, attack this pillar with all your strength. You may attack from any direction. Begin whenever you are ready."

"A Quasi-Knight assessment?!"

Li Xin was clearly startled by those words.

Long Haochen looked about the same age as Ye Tian, yet he was already a Quasi-Knight?

Before she could recover from her shock, Long Haochen had already drawn the Refined Iron Sword from his back. He rushed forward in a single stride and slashed fiercely at the Black Stone Pillar.

One hundred and seven!

It was exactly the same as the value Ye Tian remembered.

In fact, Ye Tian had long known Long Haochen's External Spiritual Power value.

However, Nalan Shu and Li Xin beside him could not help widening their eyes at the same time.

"Little brother, are all the people from Odin Town monsters?" Li Xin murmured instinctively.

Ye Tian smiled and shook his head. "Haochen is special."

As for himself... he was special too.

"Hall Master Nalan, does this mean I've passed the assessment?" Long Haochen asked, barely suppressing his excitement.

Nalan Shu took a deep breath. "Normally, yes. But Lord Xingyu said in his letter that you must withstand a knight's attacks for fifteen minutes before it counts as a success."

Long Haochen was not disappointed by this. Instead, his expression turned solemn.

"I understand. Then please appoint a knight, Hall Master Nalan!"

As he spoke, he drew another Refined Iron Sword with his left hand.

Holding a sword in each hand, he looked exactly like a Punishment Knight.

"I'll do it!"

Before Nalan Shu could speak, Li Xin eagerly raised her hand and rushed forward.

How could she miss this kind of excitement?

Nalan Shu glanced at Li Xin. Knowing her temperament well, he also knew there was no use refusing, so he could only nod helplessly.

"Then you do it, Xin'er. But mind your strength."

Even if Long Haochen's talent was high enough, Nalan Shu still did not believe a first-level Quasi-Knight could withstand a knight's attacks for fifteen minutes.

He could only remind Li Xin not to hurt him.

"Don't worry, Uncle Nalan. He's my little brother's friend, so I won't hurt him. Wait for me!"

With that, Li Xin quickly ran out of the assessment hall.

Before long, she returned with a pair of swords on her back.

Unlike the Refined Iron Swords in Long Haochen's hands, Li Xin's twin swords were clearly far more ornate. Their blades glimmered with pale golden light and were engraved with runes that carried a sacred aura.

"Begin!"

Nalan Shu and Ye Tian stepped aside.

"Be careful, Sister!"

Long Haochen shouted lowly and instantly entered a combat state.

Rather than defending as expected, he took the initiative and attacked first!

Not only that, but Long Haochen displayed remarkably high combat instincts.

With Li Xin not using her full strength, she was actually faintly suppressed and had no choice but to use the third-tier Punishment Knight skill, Ascension Array, to defend herself.

But when she was about to put in a little more effort to regain some face, Long Haochen sent her flying back with Divine Guard Block.

After losing face twice in a row, Li Xin naturally felt too embarrassed to continue.

She was a proper knight. She could not possibly use her full strength against a Quasi-Knight, could she?

"Haochen, what was that move? It actually knocked me back!"

Li Xin rubbed her aching palm, feeling extremely frustrated.

To her surprise, Nalan Shu flashed over to Long Haochen's side, his face full of shock and urgency.

"Divine Guard Block! Little Haochen, that was Divine Guard Block you used just now, wasn't it?"

Li Xin immediately revealed a horrified expression. "Impossible, right? Uncle Nalan, did you see it wrong? Isn't Divine Guard Block a skill only sixth-tier Radiant Knights can learn?"

Nalan Shu took a deep breath and gently shook his head. "That's not how it works. Although Divine Guard Block is a sixth-tier skill, as long as one has sufficient judgment and reaction speed, even a Knight Attendant can learn it."

"Of course, the Knight Holy Temple must grant permission before it can be taught as an exception."

That said, learning it was not so easy.

Even sixth-tier Radiant Knights had to put in considerable effort to master it.

Long Haochen shook his head in confusion. "I don't know either. My teacher only told me it was a blocking skill."

Nalan Shu and Li Xin's mouths twitched.

He made it sound so casual. Was this the willfulness of a genius?
