• A female mage kissed Sima Xian and asked to be with him, but he focused on Feng Ling'er’s letters and his feelings for her.
• Sima Xian recalled that Feng Ling'er’s letters had encouraged him to survive and that he had chosen the Demon Hunter Squad when she asked him to choose.

After a year and a half in seclusion, Long Haochen returned to the Knight Temple and reunited with his mother, Bai Yue. After spending ten days with her, he asked Yang Haohan to let him rejoin his companions, but the Alliance required him to prove he could protect his squad before it could reform.

• Long Haochen returned to the Knight Temple and embraced Bai Yue, reassuring her after his long absence.
• Yang Haohan granted Long Haochen ten days off to stay with Bai Yue and assured him his companions were well.
• Long Haochen spent the ten days cooking for and caring for Bai Yue, then said goodbye and left to resume his duties.
• Long Haochen asked Yang Haohan for a mission and permission to reform the Marshal Grade Sixty-Fourth Demon Hunter Squad.
• Yang Haohan said the squad could potentially reform, but Long Haochen first had to prove that he and his companions could protect themselves.

Long Haochen learned that the Holy Temple Alliance was being worn down by the Holy War, and Yang Haohan demanded ten million battlefield merits before he could reorganize his Demon Hunter Squad. Long Haochen accepted, then revealed that he had reached the eighth rank and asked to challenge an Adamantine Foundation Knight for an epic-grade Fine Gold Base Armor set.

• Yang Haohan told Long Haochen that the Alliance had suffered catastrophic losses and could hold out for at most another year to a year and a half if the Devil Race continued its offensive.
• Long Haochen proposed infiltrating enemy territory to destroy more Demon God Pillars, but Yang Haohan required him to earn ten million merits before he could reorganize his squad.

• Long Haochen revealed that he had broken through to the eighth rank and insisted on challenging an Adamantine Foundation Knight for an epic-grade Fine Gold Base Armor set.

Long Haochen began the Adamantine Foundation Knight assessment and faced a powerful, masked knight in the Knight Temple’s underground trial ground. The knight blocked Long Haochen’s opening strike with masterful Spiritual Astral Force, leaving the clash unresolved.

• The masked knight halted Long Haochen’s strike by concentrating Spiritual Astral Force on his Tower Shield, then unleashed an explosive shock from it.

Long Haochen fought the tall Adamantine Foundation Knight, countering his Element Annihilation Halo and launching a powerful dual-sword assault. The knight stopped the attack with his Tower Shield, but Long Haochen left a dozen marks on it and forced him to defend with all his strength.

• The tall knight blasted Long Haochen backward with his hammer, then used Element Annihilation Halo to trap him before another strike.
• Long Haochen used Asura Slash to nullify the halo and clash with the hammer, then drew on Yating and Blue Rain, Lotus of Light as his power rose.
• The tall knight advanced while Gathering Momentum, prompting Long Haochen to attack first with Light Speed Flash and a plunging dual-sword assault.
• Long Haochen's Spiritual Astral Force battered the knight's Tower Shield, leaving at least a dozen sword marks and preventing the knight from using his hammer.
• The knight's defense threw Long Haochen into the air and strained his Glorious Holy Armor, but the shield showed that the knight had not fully stopped the assault.

Long Haochen unleashed the Divine Descent Technique and the full power of his two Epic swords against the tall knight, only to discover that his opponent was a ninth-tier Adamantine Foundation Knight. Their collision left both the knight’s defense and Long Haochen’s Cross Slash changing in unexpected ways.

• Long Haochen invoked the Divine Descent Technique with Yating, pushing his power near the ninth tier and awakening the Epic radiance of Goddess of Light Aria and Blue Rain, Lotus of Light.
• The tall knight discarded his Tower Shield and formed a powerful defensive screen with an Epic shield and externalized spiritual energy armor.
• Long Haochen struck the screen with a Cross Slash, and the clash revealed that the tall knight was a ninth-tier Guardian Knight.
• Although Long Haochen believed he had lost, his Cross Slash began to fuse its red-gold and emerald energies into a strange black light as the knight’s screen cracked.
• With his spiritual energy nearly exhausted and his swords gone, Long Haochen raised the Sun Moon Divine Snail Shield to protect himself.

Long Haochen defeated Long Tianyin’s defenses enough to pass the Adamantine Foundation Knight assessment, then learned that Long Tianyin was his grandfather. He left as Adamantine Foundation Knight Twelve, with orders to collect his armor and travel to Knight Holy Mountain.

• Long Tianyin summoned the Divine Seal Throne of Order and Law to stop Long Haochen’s fused attack, and Yang Haohan confirmed that Long Haochen had wounded him.
• Long Tianyin and Yang Haohan agreed that Long Haochen had earned a passing assessment despite losing, and Long Tianyin revealed he was Long Haochen’s grandfather.
• Long Haochen kowtowed to Long Tianyin, though he still carried resentment over the hardships he and his mother had endured.
• Yang Haohan approved Long Haochen as an Adamantine Foundation Knight and ordered him to hide his identity and avoid using conspicuous abilities.
• Yang Haohan named Long Haochen Adamantine Foundation Knight Twelve and told him to collect his armor the next morning before traveling to Knight Holy Mountain.

After discovering Long Tianyin was his grandfather, Long Haochen meditated to steady his emotions and reflected on his cultivation and the strange power his swords had unleashed. Yating explained how the Extraterrestrial Meteorite could help his swords evolve, and Long Haochen prepared to have them refine it.

• Long Haochen left Long Tianyin and Yang Haohan, then entered meditation to calm himself and review his battle with Long Tianyin.
• Long Haochen reflected on his five Spiritual Apertures and realized that establishing them at key bodily fulcrums had improved his cultivation and skill use.
• Long Haochen considered the dark blue power formed when Blue Rain, Lotus of Light and Goddess of Light Aria fused their strength during Cross Slash.
• Long Haochen asked Yating how to help the two swords evolve, and she explained that their materials were insufficient for further growth.
• Yating suggested inserting both swords into the Extraterrestrial Meteorite so they could refine it over time, and Long Haochen took the meteorite out of Eternal Melody.

Long Haochen had Yating use the Extraterrestrial Meteorite to nurture his two divine swords, then went to Yang Haohan to verify his merits and begin a ten-million-merit mission. Yang Haohan explained the Alliance’s decision about Long Haochen’s Demon God Pillar achievement but left its intended reward undisclosed.

• Long Haochen pierced the Extraterrestrial Meteorite with Blue Rain, Lotus of Light and Goddess of Light Aria, and Yating used her power to make the swords absorb it.
• Long Haochen waited outside Yang Haohan’s office to verify his merits and start his next mission.
• Yang Haohan explained why Long Tianyin had been absent from Long Haochen’s life, and Long Haochen said he needed time to grow close to his grandfather.
• Yang Haohan found more than one million merits on Long Haochen’s Merit Token, which included kills credited to Haoyue and Yating.
• Long Haochen asked the Alliance to award him merits for destroying a Demon God Pillar, and Yang Haohan said the Alliance had chosen a different reward that would not count toward the ten-million-merit mission.

Long Haochen received the Alliance’s reward of waived promotion Merit Points and an Epic-grade Adamantine Foundation Battle Armor. After testing the armor, he left for the Knight Holy Mountain with a warrant allowing him a second mount selection, while Long Tianyin and Han Yu watched him depart.

• Yang Haohan told Long Haochen that the Alliance had waived all Merit Points required for his team’s future promotions, but warned him to complete the ten-million-Merit-Point mission safely.
• Yang Haohan presented Long Haochen with an Epic-grade Adamantine Foundation Battle Armor and explained that it could store up to one hundred thousand Internal Spiritual Power.
• Long Haochen activated the armor, felt his spiritual perception and power increase, and thanked Yang Haohan for the gift.
• Yang Haohan gave Long Haochen a warrant for an exceptional second mount selection and sent him to the Knight Holy Mountain.
• After Long Haochen left, Long Tianyin thanked Yang Haohan, who asked Han Yu about what he had learned while following Long Tianyin.

Han Yu refused to spend his team’s merits to buy Mithril Base Battle Armor, choosing to earn it through his own strength. Long Haochen traveled from Dragon Guard Pass to Knight Holy Mountain, where he sensed that its dense Light Element helped block the Devil Race and suspected the Temple had concealed the mountain’s true purpose.

• Han Yu asked when he could attempt the Mithril Pedestal Knight assessment, but Long Tianyin said his spiritual energy was still slightly weak despite his merits being sufficient to buy the armor.
• Han Yu refused the shortcut and said his merits belonged to his team, earning Long Tianyin’s approval.
• Long Haochen left Dragon Guard Pass wearing his Adamantine Foundation Battle Armor and headed toward Knight Holy Mountain, using its power to strengthen and conceal himself.
• Long Haochen reached Knight Holy Mountain and noticed its golden mist, warmer air, and exceptionally dense Light Element.
• Long Haochen reasoned that the Temple restricted cultivation there to preserve the mountain’s Light Element and its defense against the Devil Race, though he suspected further secrets remained.

Long Haochen entered the Knight Holy Mountain under the alias Adamantine No. 12 to find a temporary magical beast companion, since Haoyue could not safely fight alongside him. After searching the mountain, he drew a crowd of light-attribute beasts with his aura and awaited an old friend whose approaching neigh he recognized.

• Long Haochen showed the mountain elder his warrant, and the elder warned him not to reveal his name before leading him into the Knight Holy Mountain.
• Long Haochen flew into the mountain, used his perception to search for a suitable beast, and avoided the deeper territory of Tenth Tier Demon Beasts.
• At a waterside gathering, Long Haochen revealed himself and attracted the affection of the light-attribute magical beasts.
• Long Haochen asked the beasts to help him find an old friend, and a golden bird flew off to search.
• When a familiar neigh sounded nearby, Long Haochen recognized that his old friend had arrived and answered with a howl.

Long Haochen found the King of Star Brilliance Unicorns and invited it to fight beside him against the Devil Race. The unicorn accepted, becoming his partner Star King, and the two discovered that Long Haochen’s Adamantine Foundation Battle Armor linked and enhanced them when he mounted it.

• Long Haochen greeted the King of Star Brilliance Unicorn and asked it to become his partner in the war against the Devil Race.
• The King agreed to leave with Long Haochen, and it bid farewell to its herd after explaining that the unicorns chose to remain in Knight Holy Mountain.
• Long Haochen named the King Star King and mounted it while wearing his Adamantine Foundation Battle Armor.
