Qian Renxue wanted a mount

"Sword intent?"

"It looks like our Knight Temple really has picked up a treasure this time."

"Not just Ye Hua-even this disciple of his is a genius and a monster!"

Yang Haohan laughed heartily after witnessing this scene.

He had come to see that so-called Angel, never expecting to stumble upon this scene instead.

Happy as he was, Yang Haohan also knew that his grandson had met his match.

It would not be so easy to secure a good placing in this Demon Hunt Squad Selection Competition.

"It isn't just Jiang Li. Ye Hua's other disciple, Long Haochen, is no ordinary boy either. His talent, cultivation, and mount all harbor secrets I can't see through."

"What's more, that boy named Long Haochen has an inheritance ring."

After a moment's hesitation, Feng Yangmu told the Knight Temple's master about Long Haochen.

He was not a member of the Knight Temple and had only come into contact with these matters because of this assignment. He would report what needed reporting; there was no need for him to interfere with the rest.

"His surname is Long. Could he be his child..."

"But I haven't heard of him having any children?"

The mention of Long Haochen's inheritance ring and name immediately brought Long Xingyu to Yang Haohan's mind.

The reason he had thought of Long Xingyu first had to do with his appearance a few years ago, which had taken place in the same location.

Viewed that way, it made sense.

"Let's go. The young have their own opportunities and such. We old fellows only need to know that they won't harm the Temple Alliance."

"As for the rest, there's no need to dig deeper."

He had originally come to see Jiang Li's mount, but after witnessing the sword intent Jiang Li displayed and learning about Long Haochen, he changed his mind on the spot.

There was no need to rush to learn the story behind all this.

The Demon Hunt Squad Selection Competition was about to begin. There would still be opportunities then.

Although Feng Yangmu was surprised, he said nothing more.

With that, his assignment was complete, saving him further worry.

Whatever happened next was an internal matter for the Knight Temple.

Meanwhile, after giving those children some guidance, Jiang Li said goodbye to his teacher and left.

When he returned to his lodgings, Qian Renxue had yet to return.

He did not go looking for her. With the blood pact in place, Qian Renxue would summon him over if she truly ran into trouble.

Then Jiang Li began working out further ideas for crafting items with Soul Bones as the main material.

There were still many things he could try incorporating into them.

With the ample blueprints he had collected during this time and the improvement in his own strength, he could actually craft somewhat higher-grade items now.

But Jiang Li had not done so, for a simple reason: improving his strength remained his priority.

He had previously begun researching these things partly because he had no other choice, and partly because he wanted to make money while seeing whether he could improve his strength through other methods.

Now that he had sufficient talent and could continue growing stronger, improving his strength naturally remained his priority.

He could do some research whenever he found the time.

Before long, Qian Renxue returned.

"Can knights only obtain mounts from Knight Sacred Mountain?"

"Is there any way for me to get a mount too?"

The first thing Qian Renxue did after returning to their lodgings was ask Jiang Li about this.

"You want a mount too?"

"What kind? I can think of a way."

Hearing Qian Renxue say this, Jiang Li knew she had been tempted.

Normally, neither of them could contract another mount. After all, in essence, Qian Renxue was a mount herself.

Even though she had become a knight, she still could not contract another mount.

This was a conflict between two sets of rules.

But that did not mean there was no way at all.

Qian Renxue also counted as a Child of Light, and her own qualities could earn a mount's recognition.

Although she could not form a contract, she could still ride and command one to enhance her combat capabilities as a knight.

"A Starlight Unicorn!"

Hearing that it might be possible, Qian Renxue immediately brightened and named the mount she wanted.

While wandering around earlier, she had seen a knight with a Starlight Unicorn as a mount and fallen in love with it at first sight.

That feeling truly filled one's heart with longing.

Most importantly, she could clearly sense that the Starlight Unicorn was highly compatible with her own light attribute.

"That shouldn't be much of a problem. Once I've won the championship, I'll see if I can get you into Knight Sacred Mountain too. There are Starlight Unicorns there."

"If that doesn't work, we'll go capture one in the wild."

"Speaking of this, I actually have another idea: bringing a living dragon-type Soul Beast from the Douluo Continent to this world to assess the rules of the two planes."

If Qian Renxue had not brought it up, he really would have almost forgotten about it.

He remembered someone saying that an existence like the Snow Empress was a Soul Beast on the Douluo Continent, but a Heaven and Earth Spirit on the Holy Demon Continent.

He simply did not know whether a dragon-type Soul Beast would still be subject to that restriction after being brought to the Douluo Continent.

However, Qian Renxue did not have a Soul Tool large enough to hold a living creature.

After all, he was most interested in dragon-type Soul Beasts. Other Soul Beasts would work too, but he still felt that something would be missing.

"Dragon-type Soul Beasts are all quite large. Bringing one over won't be easy."

"But we really could try another kind. I remember there's a Storage Soul Tool in Spirit Hall with quite a bit of space that can hold living creatures."

"Besides dragon-type Soul Beasts, what other kinds do you want? I'll go back and look right away. If I find a suitable dragon-type Soul Beast, I'll bring it. If I can't find one, we'll at least have a backup plan."

Jiang Li's proposal truly tempted Qian Renxue.

Since Jiang Li had promised to find her a Starlight Unicorn as a mount, she believed he would definitely be able to do it.

She could not be halfhearted either. This was a good chance to bring over a Soul Beast Jiang Li needed from the Douluo Continent. Perhaps they really could discover something different through their research?

"If there's no suitable dragon-type Soul Beast, then a tiger-type Soul Beast will do, preferably one with light and holy attributes."

Jiang Li also began to feel some anticipation.

Although they could no longer form contracts, that did not mean the creatures could not serve as mounts.

After all, this was not the Douluo Continent. Humans and Magical Beasts were not mortal enemies here.

"I'll go back now. I'll return in three days at most."

As Qian Renxue spoke, she was already about to act.

Indeed, her time on the Holy Demon Continent had gradually opened her heart, allowing her to live with the mindset someone her age should have.
