Challenge the Seventh Order

The sound of Long Haochen's departing footsteps rang out, and it seemed to drain Yehua of all his strength. "If he really were my son, how wonderful that would be."

Li Xin stood at the hotel entrance. Seeing Long Haochen emerge looking somewhat dazed and dejected, she hurried over and rubbed his head. "Silly little brother, it's not like you're parting forever. If you want to repay Teacher Yehua, then make him proud of you. Let him feel the glory of a knight radiating from you."

"Mm." Long Haochen nodded gently. Reluctantly, he glanced once more at Yehua's window from outside, then clenched his fists tightly. "Sis, let's go."

Saint Alliance Great Trial Grounds, Knight Trial Grounds.

The newly formed Demon Hunt Squads had all **assembled. Since they were newly established Demon Hunt Squads, they were all Soldier Grade and ranked accordingly. For example, Long Haochen's group was the Soldier Grade One Demon Hunt Squad. At present, there were only these ten newly formed Soldier Grade Demon Hunt Squads.

"Let me introduce everyone. This is Han Yu, my Esquire Knight." As soon as Long Haochen met up with his companions, he introduced Han Yu to them. Since they would be leaving soon, Han Yu had gone home for the night yesterday and met Long Haochen at the entrance to the Knight Trial Grounds early this morning.

An Esquire Knight? Other than Cai'er, the other four members of Long Haochen's team could not help but stare in surprise.

Sima Xian widened his eyes and patted his bald head. "Boss, you have an Esquire Knight too?"

Gu Sheng said, "Their expressions are really exactly the same as in the original story."

At that moment, Cai'er noticed her brother in the void and sent him a divine sense message. (Why she was using divine sense at this time would be explained later.) "Brother, why are you still in the void? Come down and play with me."

Gu Sheng said, "Hey, little sister, this is... Your brother can watch over you from the void, and protect you too."

Cai'er pouted in dissatisfaction. "Hmph."

In the end, she ignored me and went to play with my little pink Haoyue... Ah, no, he should be Cai'er's little pet now.

Thinking this, I sent her a voice transmission. "Little sister, have you thought of a name for him?"

"Uh... Brother, I don't think I have. How about you give him one?"

"No, you think about it. I'll give you a few names, and you can pick whichever ones sound nice."

"Duanwu, Taotao, Gege, Xiaoqi, Yaoyao, Harry, Yuanyuan, Ruirui, Anqi, Sanbing, Mili, Yangyang."

"Think about it."

Cai'er thought for a moment. Seeing how round and chubby he was, she said, "Let's call him Yuanyuan."

"Uh..."

"Sure, that works. Then what should his full name be?"

"Saint Yuanyuan. His pet name will be Yuanyuan. So cute."

"Mm-hmm, that works."

The weapons and equipment that Soldier Grade Demon Hunt Squads could exchange for were actually all Spirit-Demon Grade, with even a small amount of Glory Grade equipment. Various pills could also be exchanged for. There were also countless useful items they had never seen on the market before. Everyone was practically drooling at the sight. Yet even money could not buy these things; the Demon Hunt Center only accepted Merit Points in exchange. Members of different Demon Hunt Squads could even barter with one another or buy things directly with Merit Points.

There was no doubt that the Saint Alliance had made these arrangements to stir up every Demon Hunt Squad member's desire for Merit Points and motivate the squads' fighting power. Even though these Demon Hunt Squads understood that clearly, it still proved extremely effective.

There were already so many good things at the Soldier Grade Trading Center. Once they reached the higher General Grade, Commander Grade, or even King Grade and Emperor Grade, wouldn't there be even more good things?

Wang Yuanyuan said, "I asked around. There are two main ways to earn Merit Points. The most direct is killing demons. Any demon will do. Even the most ordinary Zelin Clan Dual-Blade Demon can be exchanged for a little Merit Points. Other than that, there are the missions issued by the Mission Tower."

Long Haochen chuckled. "Don't rush, everyone. Our squad has only just been formed. We still don't know each other well enough, much less have any coordination.

"Let's spend as much time as possible getting used to one another first, then gradually increase the difficulty of our missions."

"Brother."

"What is it? I want to ask, how many grades do Demon Hunt Squads have?"

From lowest to highest, there were six grades: Soldier Grade, General Grade, Commander Grade, King Grade, Emperor Grade, and Title-rank. The higher a Demon Hunt Squad's grade, the more difficult missions it could receive, and the greater its rewards. However, the requirements for a Demon Hunt Squad to advance by even one grade were extremely harsh. The highest rank—a Title-rank Demon Hunt Squad—could possess its own exclusive title. But to advance to that rank, the first requirement was for the Demon Hunt Squad to have killed at least one of the Demon Gods ranked within the top thirty-six among the Seventy-Two Demon Gods Pillars. From this, it was clear that reaching the highest-grade Demon Hunt Squad required not only extremely high combat strength from its members, but also exceptional coordination between them.

After registering, members who successfully formed a Demon Hunt Squad would receive a Gem Token to record and increase their Merit Points. Whether members wanted to exchange for equipment or Secret Skills, they could not do without Merit Points, so Merit Points were extremely important to every member. There were two ways to earn Merit Points: the most direct was killing demons, while the other was completing missions issued by the Demon Hunt Mission Tower.

To raise the Demon Hunt Squad's grade.

"Then, Brother, how many grades does your battlefield have?"

"Brother! That battlefield has four or five grades from lowest to highest: Emperor, Immortal, Demon, God, and finally, Great Dao."

"So that means our highest grade is your lowest grade."

"Mm, yes!"

Chen An'er snatched the pill from his hand and patted him on the shoulder. "Alright, alright, we're all on the same side. Don't be so fussy. In future battles, I'll cover you."

Lin Xin was so angry his nose nearly went crooked. "You? Cover me?"

Chen Yinger puffed out her small but already budding chest. "Why can't I cover you? Just wait and see."

"Cough, cough." Just then, coughing sounded from nearby.

Long Haochen turned his head and saw Yang Wenzhao walking over to him.

"Brother Long, could I have a word with you in private?" Yang Wenzhao asked Long Haochen very politely.

Long Haochen nodded. "Of course." The two had been opponents in the competition, but Long Haochen had an excellent impression of Yang Wenzhao. Not only was Yang Wenzhao powerful and steady in temperament, but more importantly, he had earned the recognition of the Star Brilliance Unicorn, which spoke volumes about his nature.

"Brother, when will the people you mentioned for training arrive?"

"Soon. They should be here after Long Haochen finishes talking with Yang Wenzhao."

"So why do you think Yang Wenzhao came to find Long Haochen?"

"What do you think? Think about it."

"When they were choosing members, who did he choose?"

Cai'er immediately realized it. "Chen Yinger."

"Mm-hmm."
