The next day, the Demon Hunt Squad Selection Tournament entered its finals.
In the first few matches, Long Haochen and Xing Xuan fought to determine the winner, with Long Haochen ultimately emerging victorious. Lin Xin faced Sima Xian. Although Sima Xian failed to break through Lin Xin's defenses, he won due to the rules. The third match was Li Xin versus Saint Daughter Cai'er, and this battle appeared somewhat difficult.
Xing Xuan was a special opponent. As a Fourth Rank assassin, he possessed Sixth Rank flying abilities. However, this ability came from an external source—the equipment on his body was actually a flying device. If Long Haochen had been a Fourth Rank knight, it would have been very difficult for him to win. An assassin's defining trait was agility, and Long Haochen's repeated attacks seemed unable to hit him.
However, Fifth Rank knights could learn a skill that perfectly countered assassins: Lock On. Once Long Haochen used this move, Xing Xuan had no chance of dodging. It could only be said that Xing Xuan had underestimated Long Haochen. If Long Haochen had not held back, Xing Xuan would certainly have been seriously injured.
After conceding defeat, Xing Xuan expressed his thanks and even offered a small gift. It could be said that Xing Xuan was a rabid fan of the Long Haochen-Saint Daughter Cai'er couple. Long Haochen, however, was rather bewildered and did not know what to do with the sudden gift. Still, Long Haochen had gotten off to a good start in the first match, earning 2 points. After that, he watched the other matches.
Sima Xian came from the Healing Temple, yet he could not use any healing-related skills. Relying on his powerful muscles, he fought his way through the competition and became the Healing Temple's number one. Judging from Sima Xian's previous battles, he was more suited to be a warrior. Though Sima Xian was only Fourth Rank, even a Fourth Rank knight would likely find it difficult to defeat him in a real fight.
Lin Xin was a Fifth Rank mage and ranked first in the Magic Temple's preliminary trials, but he loved all sorts of flashy combat skills too much. Still, Lin Xin's potion-making skills were truly beyond reproach and absolutely top-tier. This duel was rather bizarre, completely ignoring the usual routine. It should have been the mage attacking and the healer defending, yet the roles were reversed.
Lin Xin merely had to defend to withstand Sima Xian's Meteor Hammer. But with that, ten minutes would quickly pass. Lin Xin, who should have been attacking, ended up becoming the defensive side. The result was obvious: Sima Xian won. This battle was not exciting in the slightest and had more comedic elements than anything else. Lin Xin had overplayed his hand and handed over a battle he should have won.
Li Xin was a Fourth Rank knight, and her strength was fairly good. Reaching this stage meant that she would also have her own Demon Hunt Squad. However, Li Xin's opponent was Saint Daughter Cai'er, a Fifth Rank assassin who had once beaten Yang Wenzhao to the brink of death. If Saint Daughter Cai'er went all out, Li Xin would not even last a few minutes. This battle did not seem likely to hold much suspense, and it would probably end quickly.
The tournament was still underway, but Long Haochen also needed to travel to another plane to search for Haoyue. However, Long Haochen had already won one match, and there was still some time before his next battle.
The other plane was where Haoyue had been born. Of course, this was not my Haoyue.
Of course, I also went to the other plane. I went to Long Hao City to pick up my little sister Cai'er. The moment something sharp appeared, I appeared as well.
"Brother, why are you here? Why did your brother come? Is it to help Long Haochen?"
"I'm going to the other plane. That is where the Haoyue I gave you is. But Long Haochen is still growing, so I need to go help. The place where he was born is not a place that allows him to live."
Only then did Cai'er think of instantly summoning my Haoyue. "Haoyue, is that true?" "It's true. His name is Haoyue too. It's just that behind me is the God of Heavenly Scourge. He is simply called Haoyue."
Don't ask me how they could talk to each other. It was because they had signed a contract.
"Brother, can I go too? I want to go too, okay?"
"No. You have to wait inside for us."
"No, no." I said helplessly, "If you don't wait for us, who will catch us if we fall?"
Hearing this, Cai'er said, "Alright, I understand."
"But Brother, I really want to go in."
"Please."
"Fine. It doesn't matter to me anyway."
Then, with a wave of my hand, a passage appeared before us.
"Let's go. We're interested."
"Oh, right. Seal this side off. Don't let anyone enter or leave."
"Yes, Young Master, Young Miss."
Only then did we walk in.
This world was one filled with slaughter and death, and the entire world wanted to destroy Haoyue completely because Haoyue posed too great a threat to them. But Haoyue's current strength was not high, and he was in the midst of evolution, so Haoyue hoped that Long Haochen could take him away from this plane.
Of course, the first thing I did after entering was not to look for him. Instead, I went to find the ten great monarchs of the Undead World.
Cai'er asked, "Aren't we here to help Long Hao City? Why did we come to the ten great monarchs sleeping in the Undead World?"
"I'll coordinate with him. It will help him grow, but it would not be convenient for me to help directly. Otherwise, how would he grow?"
Hearing that, she said, "Mm, alright, I understand."
After that, we arrived at the area of the ten great monarchs.
There, we saw a commentator wearing a bone mask, like a clown.
Cai'er and I concealed ourselves in the void.
Naturally, there was no commentary yet, because Long Hao City had not killed that Undead Wizard yet.
So Cai'er and I simply watched quietly. But Cai'er could not sit still, and she began playing and roughhousing again with my pink Haoyue and his pink Haoyue.
I smiled helplessly.
Meanwhile, Long Haochen was fighting the Undead army of this world, the Skeleton King, and the Undead Wizard.
After a little more than a day, that red thing began to unlock.
At last, I sensed that it was about time. He was already close to defeating that Undead Wizard.
When Cai'er saw Brother, she immediately perked up and realized that he was about to defeat the Undead Wizard over there.
As for how she knew, naturally, it was because I told her.
The first one to revive was exactly the same as in the original work: the Lich King. The second was the Undead Judgment Knight, followed by the Bone Dragon Monarch.
After the three of them manifested and woke up, I appeared as well.
I also brought out the God of Heavenly Scourge.
The two people and one dragon were instantly dumbfounded. Wasn't Austin Griffin in the middle of evolving? How had the evolution already been completed? He had nine heads already—he was already the God of Heavenly Scourge.
The two people and one dragon immediately wanted to attack, but I did not need to make a move.
Because I knew that none of them were a match for my mount.
Under the attacks of the two people and one dragon, my Haoyue instantly transformed into human form. With a raise of his hand, he restrained the three of them, then awakened the other monarchs as well and raised his hand to restrain them too.
The Ten Monarchs were instantly stunned and terrified.
Cai'er was dumbfounded as well. He had never expected his mount to be this powerful.
The four monarchs were about to speak again, but I cut them off. "You were going to say Austin Griffin is... right?"
"I already know everything you want to say. The Ten Monarchs: the Lich King, Ancient Dragon King, Skeleton Monarch, Labyrinth Spider Monarch, Zombie Monarch, Abomination Monarch, Wraith Monarch, Shadow Monarch, and Hellfire Monarch."
"I advise you to behave yourselves now. Otherwise, I'll destroy you on the spot," said the God of Heavenly Scourge.
"You don't need to move. Even if you were restored to your peak, you probably still wouldn't be my match."
"I believe you can all sense my strength by now, can't you?"
The Ten Monarchs fell silent at once. Having sensed the God of Heavenly Scourge before them, they knew he was definitely not the God of Heavenly Scourge from before.
Previously, the Heavenly Maiden's Voice had only risen, while he had merely controlled them without killing them, so it should not have been him. Yet they could indeed sense that he was the God of Heavenly Scourge.
Of course, they also tried to examine my cultivation. But who was I? There was no way they could see through me. Still, they did not dare act rashly. Anyone capable of making the City of Heaven acknowledge him as its master was certainly no ordinary person.
On the other side of the Undead World, they sensed it as well. Another God of Heavenly Scourge, another Haoyue. Haoyue, who was in the midst of evolution, could sense it too.
Before long, Haoyue completed his evolution. Naturally, we sensed it on our side as well. Then we sensed that Haoyue had already left, so we left too.
Not long after, we returned to the real world.
Of course, we came out before him.
After Long Haochen emerged, he saw me, Cai'er, and Teacher. At that moment, Long Haochen was somewhat...
Afterward, Cai'er told Long Haoteng, "This is my brother."
This was Long Haochen's mount, and it had turned round and chubby. When it came before Cai'er, naturally, my Haoyue emerged as well.
The moment he appeared, the surrounding aura was completely suppressed. Naturally, on the other side, the Demon God Bow and Arrow noticed it too. What puzzled him, however, was why there were two?
When Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu appeared, he said the same things as in the original work. But there was one difference: he knew who the other one was, because his true body was beside that person.
Naturally, he was not surprised.
But just as in the original work, in the end, he still wanted to go to the other one.
