Divine Seal: God Descends, Holy Priest Riding a Black Dragon

Chapter 73 Knockout Round

Instead of directly summoning Sariel's spirit to kill the two skeletons with a single sword strike, Wen Tai used spatial magic to imprison the two skeletons, allowing Long Haochen and Wang Yuanyuan to step forward and kill them.

Long Haochen's luck remains as good as ever.

On his first slaying of a skeleton, he obtained the inheritance orb—the Asura Slash!

This is a skill inherited by melee classes.

The trials were one after another. After defeating the two warrior skeletons, the group continued forward, taking about five steps.

The second test has been triggered!
This time, the enemies were two sixth-tier vengeful spirit assassins. Wen Tai did not take the initiative to attack again, because in addition to increasing spiritual power, these trials could also increase everyone's combat experience.

Wen Tai only threw one Eye of Truth, and then didn't participate in the battle again.

After a long battle, Long Haochen and his team finally dealt with the vengeful assassin, with Han Yu and Lin Xin ultimately securing the kill.

Han Yu was also lucky, as he obtained the Golden Inheritance Pearl – Asura Thorn!

Defeating the two vengeful assassins took a lot of their spiritual energy, so they all decided to go out and recover their spiritual energy before absorbing the milky white light orb.

After all, Wen Tai had already said that before.

Returning to the Zhennanguan barracks is very simple: just leave the Tower of Eternity and then have Wentai teleport you there!
Back in the real world, back in contact with the elements, everyone exhaled.

Chen Ying'er gasped for breath: "The feeling of being oppressed by the power of death is terrifying. Brother Wentai, you can all obtain spiritual energy orbs by killing your targets. What am I supposed to do? I can only rely on McDull to attack."

Wang Yuanyuan tapped her little head and said, "Silly girl, have you forgotten that you can use the Gate of Life? Every time you enter, you use the Gate of Life to summon a magical beast. If a particularly powerful magical beast appears, we'll make sure yours delivers the final blow!"

"Oh yes."

Chen Ying'er stuck out her tongue shyly: "It's been so long since I used the Gate of Life, I almost forgot how."

Wen Tai hadn't expended much spiritual energy, so he went to bed as soon as he got back.

"Everyone, once you've recovered your spiritual energy, just rest. The teleportation just now consumed a lot of energy, and it will probably be about six hours before we can teleport again," Wen Tai said.

The others understood as well, and they all rubbed their hands together, waiting for the next chance to enter.

The next time they entered, everyone was on high alert and rushed through the first three levels in one go. The third level consisted of two skeleton knights, but they could be easily defeated if they found the right method.

Starting from the fourth level, the difficulty begins to change.

The number suddenly increased to ten: six burly skeletons and four vengeful assassins.

Ten sixth-tier skeletons—that's a force not to be underestimated!

Wen Tai also joined the battle, but he did not use his full strength, leaving the chance for the final blow to his other companions.

The difficulty of the fourth level was completely different from the first three levels. It took everyone a lot of hard work to kill all ten undead!

After passing the fourth level, everyone's spiritual energy was exhausted again.

Unfortunately, everyone had no choice but to return to the real world to recover their spiritual power, and then wait six hours before entering again.

But this time, after entering, the trial started directly from the fourth level, catching everyone off guard and leaving them with "low health" again, forcing them to return to the real world to recover their spiritual power.

Without Wen Tai using his full strength, the best result everyone achieved was passing the fifth level.

However, it is clear that they do not have the strength to challenge the sixth level.

So these past few days they've been hovering around the fourth and fifth levels, and everyone's spiritual power has been rapidly increasing.

A dozen days later, everyone except Wen Tai and Long Haochen had reached the peak of the fifth-order cultivation level. Next, they only needed to open their spiritual apertures to become sixth-order professionals. In addition to their cultivation level, their teamwork had also become increasingly seamless.

Once the others reach their spiritual power bottleneck, they can enter the Tower of Eternity to fight, and the spiritual power orbs they obtain will naturally belong to Long Haochen.

Because Long Haochen's spiritual power cultivation is still below 5,000, once it reaches 5,000, the spiritual power orb will have no effect on him.

After everyone in the Demon Hunter team was unable to absorb the spiritual energy orbs, Wen Tai discussed with Long Haochen and decided to temporarily suspend their entry into the Eternal Tower.

Because everyone's cultivation level has improved very quickly during this period, it is necessary to spend some time consolidating it.

More than twenty days after the meeting ended, the opening of Dream Paradise was drawing ever closer.

Suddenly, there was a soft knock on the door of the barracks.

"Haochen, are you there?"

Long Haochen went to open the door and found that the person outside was actually Han Qian.

"Grandmaster, why did you come in person?" Long Haochen said in surprise.

Han Qian gave a wry smile: "Call Wen Tai out. I have something to say to you."

"Alright, please wait a moment, Grandmaster!"

Long Haochen went in, and then quickly came out with Wen Tai.

"Grandpa Han, what's wrong?" Wen Tai asked, his eyes sparkling with a brilliance like stars.

Han Qian led the two of them to a secluded corner.

Han Qian sighed and said, "Wen Tai, Hao Chen, I'm here to talk to you because things have changed regarding entering Dream Paradise."

"What happened?" Wen Tai asked calmly.

Han Qian said in a deep voice: "The main reason for the change is that there are too many monks and not enough meat! This time, there are a total of 42 demon-hunting teams that came to support Zhennan Pass. Apart from the Emperor and King level, most of the demon hunters below the Commander level are at the sixth level of cultivation. Therefore, there was a problem when selecting people to enter Dream Paradise."

"After all, this is a once-in-a-century opportunity! There are only ten spots available, but more than a hundred people are competing for them, so there might be problems with the spots that were pre-assigned to you."

After hearing Han Qian's explanation, Wen Tai breathed a sigh of relief.

"Grandpa Han, you startled me! I thought something serious had happened," Wen Tai said.

Long Haochen nodded and said, "It's alright, Grandmaster. At worst, we can just participate in the selection competition. It's not a difficult thing for Wen Tai and me!"

It's no problem for Wen Tai, that kid can even kill an eighth-tier Moon Demon!

Han Qian was mainly worried about Long Haochen, since Long Haochen had only just broken through to the sixth rank, while there were many peak sixth-rank demon hunters among the commander-level demon hunter teams.

Wen Tai asked, "Grandpa Han, when does the selection competition start, and what are the rules?"

Han Qian explained in a deep voice, "We will select directly from the Demon Hunter Corps. Any Demon Hunter with less than 10,000 inner spiritual power can participate. The selection competition will begin tomorrow and will use a single-elimination format."

Simple, brutal, and direct!
Long Haochen agreed, "Grandmaster, then we will register with you first. We will send the entire Demon Hunter Team No. 21 to participate."

Not long after the three began talking, an extremely strong spiritual energy fluctuation suddenly emanated from the barracks.

This fluctuation is exactly the same as the fluctuation that occurs when one opens a spiritual aperture.

Someone has broken through to the sixth rank!
