Divine Seal: I am the Demon God Emperor's beloved granddaughter

Chapter 36 Demon Hunter Team Selection Competition

According to Long Xingyu's letter, the Demon Hunter Team Selection Competition, which takes place every five years, is about to begin. He asked Long Haochen and Bai Xi to participate in the competition as knights, departing from the Haoyue Branch Hall.

He has already made arrangements at the Haoyue branch hall; the two of them just need to go there.

"He's been gone for two years and still hasn't come back. Now he wants us to do missions? Dream on."

Bai Xi angrily threw the letter at Long Haochen.

Two years have passed, and Long Xingyu still hasn't come looking for them.

If it weren't for Long Xingyu sending them a letter of greeting every ten days or so, and sometimes even some things that could help with their cultivation...

Bai Xi almost thought he had gone down the path of abandoning his wife and children again.

"Xixi, there's still one page left in the letter."

After receiving the letter, Long Haochen, both amused and exasperated, told her about the second page:

"Dad said he would be waiting for us in the Holy City where the official Demon Hunter Team selection competition will begin, and he even prepared gifts for us."

"What about Mom? The Demon Hunter Selection Tournament looks like a very dangerous thing."

“Dad said he sent someone to pick up Mom and take her to the Holy City. He told us to go through the selection process ourselves and get to the Holy City to see him.”

At this point, Long Haochen was speechless at Long Xingyu's words.

Why couldn't you pick them all up at once? Why only pick up Bai Yue? Is it because you think they're in the way?

"Since you're here, come out!"

Bai Xi looked toward the place where there had been fluctuations in energy earlier.

Three ordinary-looking middle-aged men walked out from that place.

But Bai Xi knew that one of them was a seventh-tier Templar Knight, and the other two were Earth Knights, acquaintances whom Bai Xi had tricked once a few years ago.

Bai Yue clearly recognized the seventh-tier Holy Knight.

"My lord has sent his subordinate to fetch the lady home."

"This is what the master instructed me to give to Miss."

After the leading Templar Knight presented the token, he also presented the gift given by Long Xingyu.

After accepting the gift, Bai Xi, together with Long Haochen, saw Bai Yue and the others off.

"Mom will be waiting for you in the Holy City."

"Xixi, it's just the two of us again."

After watching Bai Yue leave, Long Haochen felt somewhat melancholy.

The teenager, who grew up step by step, began to understand that the price of growing up is constant separation.

“This time it’s different. We know where to find them, and they’re waiting for us.”

"Besides, I still have Xiaoqing, and you still have Haoyue!"

Bai Xi raised the blue bracelet on her wrist, forcibly sweeping away the sorrow of parting.

"The sooner the better, let's head to the Bright Moon Branch Hall immediately. We need a spot from the Bright Moon Branch Hall to participate in that Demon Hunter Team selection competition!"

As they spoke, the brother and sister quickly descended the mountain and, following Long Xingyu's instructions, found Nalan Shu, the master of the Haoyue Branch Hall.

Nalan Shu was pleased with their temporary addition, but some others were not.

"We only have a few spots available, why add them? Isn't that taking away our own people's spots?"

A knight, quite unconvinced, approached Nalan Shu and raised his objections.

He believed that without Bai Xi and Long Haochen's participation, he would have been the one to participate in the Demon Hunter Team selection competition.

"What do you mean by allocating quotas to our own people? They are our own people too, all humans are our own people. Not to mention, their records have always been with the Bright Moon Branch Hall, they are members of the Bright Moon Branch Hall themselves."

Nalan Shu said in a deep voice, and then ordered someone to invite Bai Xi and Long Haochen.

He was telling the truth. Ever since the spiritual power test at the Haoyue Branch Hall four years ago, the siblings' files had remained there and hadn't been moved. "That won't do, Hall Master. This spot is meant for the strongest, how can we give it to them? They claim to be members of the Haoyue Branch Hall, but they've never cultivated with us. Who knows what they're capable of?"

"Skills? What other skills do they need? All they need is the ability to pull strings."

Those who dare to refute him, besides those who consider themselves excellent, are mostly the sons of officials and the wealthy in Bright Moon City. They already have some power and influence; otherwise, who would dare to be presumptuous in front of an Earth Knight!

"It seems you want to have a friendly competition with them before you'll be truly convinced?"

Nalan Shu was a very magnanimous person and didn't bother with these knights at all. Perhaps it was because of his broad-mindedness that he was overweight.

Faced with so many doubts, all he could think about was that he was going to have some more drama to watch.

"Sure, I'm willing to spar!"

The person who initially voiced his opposition raised his voice, even pulling along his good friend, looking quite smug.

"Haochen, Xixi, did you both hear that? Would you like to have a friendly exchange with them?"

As Nalan Shu's voice rang out, two young men and women dressed in knightly attire walked over side by side. Their stunning beauty overshadowed the entire Haoyue Branch Hall.

"It's them!"

A low gasp escaped their lips, clearly indicating that someone had recognized Bai Xi and Long Haochen.

"Brother Zhao, let's stop sparring. Let's give them this spot; they deserve it."

“You don’t understand. Four years ago, I saw the two of them defeat a third-tier knight. They were only ten years old then.”

To avoid embarrassing his brother, the man whispered everything he knew.

But the "Brother Zhao" he mentioned, the one who had initially stepped forward, didn't believe his brother's words. He refused to believe that a ten-year-old child could defeat a knight.

This, on the contrary, further fueled his fighting spirit.

I challenge you all!

"Zhao Wei, an eighth-level knight of the Bright Moon Branch Hall, challenges you."

Zhao Wei stepped out from the crowd and challenged Bai Xi and Long Haochen.

"too weak."

Bai Xi shook her head, her voice very low.

"That Lord Nalan is really something. He could have easily suppressed the discontent, but he insisted on causing this whole mess. Isn't he just curious about our strength?"

However, Bai Xi had absolutely no desire to fight these people.

If she were to resort to violence, it would be incredibly unfair.

The person challenging her wasn't even a fourth-tier Grand Knight. But his courage was truly commendable; sometimes, courage is very important.

Actually, the Demon Hunter selection competition states that any professional under the age of 25 with a rank of 3 or higher can participate. However, almost no city will select rank 3 players to compete, unless they simply can't find enough people.

Nalan Shu had already planned ahead, only selecting fourth-tier professionals to go.

It's important to know that this isn't the first time. In previous Demon Hunter Team selection competitions, the battles were mainly fought between peak fourth-tier professionals, with some fifth-tier professionals also appearing.

"Then I'll do it. If you take the initiative, it will be difficult for you to stop."

Long Haochen smiled and accepted the challenge, but did not reveal his level.

"Hao Chen, the Dragon Lord of the Bright Moon Palace, accepts your challenge."

He didn't intentionally withhold his rank; he's not good at lying. But if he told the truth, the other person would probably lose all courage instantly.

"XiXi, what level are you and HaoChen at now? Tell me so I can be happy!"

Taking advantage of the free time to fight, Li Xin curiously approached Bai Xi and asked her a question.

Bai Xi would not refuse Li Xin.

However, he still deliberately gave her a range to guess, just to tease Li Xin, and that range alone was enough to surprise her.
