Punishment Knight, Needs Baptism on the Battlefield of Blood and Fire!

Maintaining the Knight Temple's position among the six great temples requires significant effort and action, not just words.

Currently, the Mage Temple is on par with the Knight Temple. In fact, on the battlefield, the Mage Temple's countless magical bombardments often make their role more impactful than that of the Knight Temple.

And when it comes to high-level combatants...

The rules for the Temple Grand Competition are simple: one-on-one duels, but without equipment. This makes things rather complicated.

Li Zhengzhi's strength is immense, with his Innate Inner Spiritual Power reaching eighty, surpassing even Long Xingyu's.

Even Long Xingyu, using the Doomsday and Slaughter Divine Seal Throne, might not be able to defeat him.

Without the throne's amplification, victory is uncertain, especially since Li Zhengzhi is now a Ninth Tier Level 5 Magic God with the Wind Attribute!

Long Xingyu might not even be able to get close to him.

With this in mind, Long Xingyu understood what he needed to do: his priority now was to improve his own strength.

Therefore, that item is a must-have!

Thinking this, Long Xingyu looked at Long Tianyin and said, "I understand. After I finish handling my current affairs, I will head to the Holy City to meet Alliance Leader Yang."

Long Tianyin, though slightly confused, didn't hesitate. He simply nodded, not pressing Long Xingyu further. Long Xingyu had his own reasons for his decisions.

So, he turned back to attend to his own matters.

"I'll take Haochen with me first," Long Xingyu thought to himself.

He then turned, and a brilliant light appeared in his hand, transforming into a gentle rain that slowly rose around Long Haochen and Li Xin, forming a special, radiant glow.

This was a Tier 5 healing skill, Great Heal. Most Punishment Knights wouldn't have the energy to cultivate this skill, but for Long Xingyu, learning it was instantaneous. He had practiced it yesterday in his spare time.

Soon, the healing light fell upon Li Xin and Long Haochen. Bathed in holy light, their injuries and fatigue were completely restored in an instant.

"Teacher's Great Heal is much faster than those Priests' healing spells!"

"After this healing, all my pain is gone, and I can continue training!"

Li Xin exclaimed in surprise. Although training was painful, under Long Xingyu's guidance, her cultivation had improved at rocket speed. A Great Knight – by her calculations, she should have needed over a year, but with Long Xingyu's guidance, it would only take three months!

However, upon hearing Li Xin's words, Long Xingyu frowned slightly and said, "Xin'er, I'm planning to take Haochen away from Dragon Control Pass to another location."

"Now that you are a Great Knight, you can fight on the walls of Dragon Control Pass during the upcoming Demon Race invasion, starting from the lowest ranks. You will be assigned to Ye Hua's legion."

Li Xin was taken aback, completely stunned. "Teacher, will I still be able to receive your guidance?"

"When I return, everything will be as before," Long Xingyu explained.

Regardless of their talent, his disciples, as disciples of the Godly Seal Knight of Judgment and Trial, Long Xingyu, could not enjoy privileges bestowed by him or be like pampered flowers. They absolutely had to go to the battlefield!

Punishment Knights must improve themselves through slaughter and combat against the Demon Race!

If a Punishment Knight merely seeks favor, clings to others' protection, and is unwilling to personally experience the baptism of blood and war, their path will be very limited.

And Long Xingyu would naturally not allow his disciples to be like that.

Of course, Li Xin would not be like that. After becoming Long Xingyu's disciple, she came to Dragon Control Pass, and the thing she wanted most was to successfully fight on the battlefield of Dragon Control Pass!

Now that Long Xingyu had spoken, she would naturally agree immediately.

Without further hesitation, Li Xin bowed respectfully to Long Xingyu, performing a knight's salute, and said earnestly, "Then I shall obey my teacher's will. I will join Teacher Ye Hua's legion and fight the enemy!"

"I will not disgrace my teacher's name!"

After speaking, Li Xin concluded her salute, then gripped her twin swords, retrieved her armor from her storage space, donned it, and walked away with firm steps, like a peerless female general about to enter her element.

There was no trace of timidity.

Seeing Li Xin like this, Long Xingyu, though he didn't say anything, was quite satisfied. He chose to take Li Xin as his disciple, partly because he knew her situation as a transmigrator and could help Long Haochen progress.

But the greater reason was her unwavering resolve.

And her demeanor, which perfectly matched the conduct of a Punishment Knight.

This was the primary reason Long Xingyu chose her!

"Dad, where are we going?" After Li Xin left, Long Haochen didn't say anything. He turned to Long Xingyu and asked.

"To a legendary place of eternal slumber," Long Xingyu explained.

Long Haochen was a little confused by this, but he didn't dwell on it. Long Xingyu wouldn't harm him. Since his father wanted to take him to another place, a legendary place of eternal slumber, it must have its purpose.

So, he would follow his father.

With that thought, Long Haochen nodded without hesitation, indicating his agreement.

Seeing this, Long Xingyu didn't say much. He simply extended his hand, and a surge of slaughter spiritual power appeared, completely enveloping Long Haochen and protecting him.

Long Haochen was a bit bewildered by this, but before he could speak, Long Xingyu grabbed his arm. Instantly, wings sprouted from his back, and the Judgment Spirit Wings erupted.

In a flash, a crimson-gold streak exploded in mid-air, like a meteor, heading towards the Demon Race territory.

Along the way, they traversed three provinces of the Demon Race: Narick Province, Jialuo Province, and Yake Province.

Although some demons detected the strange light and pursued them, they were not Demon Gods, so Long Xingyu paid them no mind, focusing on his mission. If any demons got too close, a casual sword strike could eliminate them.

Soon, they arrived at a mountainside with a cave. However, it was less of a cave and more of a seven-meter-high crevice.

Although the mournful cries emanating from within were not very strong at the moment, Long Xingyu keenly sensed a soul aura and layers of threat, which further confirmed his location.

"Found it. The eternal slumber place of The Cataclysm of Eternal Slumber, Necromancer Saint Illex."

"The Super Divine Artifact, Tower of Eternity!"
