Divine Seal: From a Heavy Sword to Slicing Through the Holy Demon Continent

“You have special means to detect other people’s cultivation level, and I naturally have special means to know some things about you.”

Long Haoyu casually made up a story: "For example, I also know that you have 70 points of innate spiritual power."

Lin Xin gasped sharply, exclaiming in astonishment, "Boss, how can you be so freakish? Is this what you call a special ability?"

"Whether it's called a special ability or not is another matter. Let's talk about your situation first." Long Haoyu said softly, "Before we talk about your situation, let me tell you about my story with Haochen."

Lin Xin remained silent, sitting quietly next to Long Haoyu, appearing to be listening attentively.

Long Haoyu slowly said, "My mother didn't want Haochen and me to become knights at first. She just wanted to see the two of us brothers grow up healthy."

"But there's no way around it, Haochen and I have both firmly chosen to embark on the path of knights. Even so, my mother has said that she hopes that no matter what happens, Haochen and I will prioritize our own safety."

"In Haochen's and my hearts, our mother is the greatest, the one who loves us the most, and a haven for Haochen and me when we are very tired."

"The same applies to you. If you haven't thought about joining the Demon Hunters, it doesn't matter if you don't know how to use attack magic. After all, your identity as a potion master is enough to make you shine."

"However, since you have chosen to join the Demon Hunters, you need to consider whether your parents also want to see their son join the Demon Hunters without being able to use offensive magic."

Lin Xin remained silent, his expression somewhat complicated.

At first, I didn't quite believe that Long Haoyu knew about my situation, but as Long Haoyu explained his own story, he eventually mentioned whether his parents would also want to see him like this.

At this moment, he was completely convinced that Long Haoyu truly possessed the special ability to know his past.

Faced with Long Haoyu's question, he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Those events from back then were a recurring nightmare in his mind, and he didn't want to learn offensive magic because of those nightmarish experiences.

Long Haoyu noticed the complexity in Lin Xin's expression and continued, "You can also think about it from another perspective: why did your parents go to do research in the first place, which ultimately led to this tragedy?"

"Their fundamental goal is to make a greater contribution to the Human Alliance. They are willing to risk everything for humanity and for their descendants so that they will not have to suffer from the ravages of war."

"If they knew that you joined the Demon Hunters because of them, and then lost your life when you could have survived because you didn't know any attack magic."

Do you think this is what they want to see?

Long Haoyu's words struck Lin Xin's chest like a heavy hammer.

The questioning felt like a giant hand gripping his neck, making it hard for Lin Xin to breathe.

"I'm very sorry to bring up your parents, but you will be a member of my Demon Hunter team from now on, and a brother to me for life."

"So I have to bring these things up, because I can't guarantee that everything will go as I expect, and I don't want to be the one wrapping you in that straw mat at the end."

"You should be able to understand how I and my fellow demon hunters would feel if I had wrapped you in that straw mat in that situation."

Long Haoyu took a deep breath and continued.

Things on the battlefield can change in an instant. Even if he knew the final outcome, he couldn't guarantee that Lin Xin wouldn't be in danger due to the butterfly effect.

Dying on the battlefield is a warrior's honor, but it is a brother's sorrow.

Whenever possible, he will do everything he can to prevent these things from happening in advance and nip any uncertainty in the bud.

At this moment, Lin Xin has these uncertainties, and he needs to control them in advance.

Long Haoyu observed the changes in Lin Xin's expression, waited a while, and continued, "I'm not forcing you, I just want to talk to you about these things."

"You don't need to give me an answer right away. I can give you enough time to consider it. I just want to know your final decision so that I can make the corresponding arrangements."

"My wish for our future demon-hunting group is simple: whatever number of people we had when we were founded, let's hope that we stay that number forever."

"We went to the battlefield together, and we... left the battlefield together!"

Chapter 145 A Sword Without Edge, Lin Xin's Calamity

Long Haoyu spoke each word with conviction.

At this moment, on the edge of the rooftop, although he was sitting next to Lin Xin, he had become the only one there.

Lin Xin listened quietly from the side, his expression very solemn, his hands clenched tightly, but he didn't say a single word.

The choice that had weighed on his mind for years, and the secret that had lingered for so long, vanished completely in front of Long Haoyu—something he could never have imagined.

Such a firm belief, held for so many years, cannot be easily changed, because it involves a pain that will forever remain in his heart.

After saying everything he needed to say, Long Haoyu didn't continue. He had only come to talk to Lin Xin about this matter, but the final decision-making power ultimately rested with Lin Xin; he couldn't make the decision for Lin Xin.

However, he could understand a thing or two about Lin Xin's reaction at this moment. Many secrets about Lin Xin that were known to everyone surfaced from the depths of his memory.

"Perhaps he hasn't really encountered any danger yet!"

"Without experiencing a true life-or-death ordeal, such a decision is not easy to make."

Long Haoyu was thinking about Lin Xin, and the secrets that surfaced from the depths of his memory only strengthened his judgment.

Long Haoyu vaguely remembered that when Lin Xin was in his little brother's demon-hunting group, he never revealed that he couldn't use attack magic.

Until that time, his little brother was not in the Demon Hunter Group, and Cai'er was the acting leader at the time. At the cost of losing the Four Greats, she killed the powerful demon opponent, and the other teammates also restrained the demon lord.

At that time, all Lin Xin needed to do was cast a small fireball, which would have been enough to kill the demon lord. However, Lin Xin only released a fire resistance ring to knock the demon lord away, causing his teammates' hopes to be dashed.

If his younger brother hadn't returned to the rescue at the last moment, everyone in the team would have perished in the demon territory, becoming just one of countless skeletons.

That life-or-death crisis planted a seed in his heart to confront his painful past, and laid the foundation for him to eventually begin learning offensive magic.

Lin Xin hasn't truly reached that point of despair yet, nor has he truly witnessed his teammates' despair. Making a decision easily is naturally not as smooth as one might imagine.

"Boss, I..."

Lin Xin looked troubled, slowly coming to his senses from Long Haoyu's words.

But at this moment, just as Long Haoyu had imagined, he still did not make a decision directly.

Long Haoyu looked at Lin Xin and replied softly, "What happened to you is your pain, but it's also what you've persevered through all these years."

"If you can't make a decision because of these things, then let's end our conversation here and go back to think about this issue."

"If my words just now have caused you some confusion and mixed feelings, then I can help you make a fair judgment about these feelings."

Lin Xin suddenly looked up, his eyes already bloodshot, staring in disbelief at Long Haoyu who had said those words.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Xin said, word by word, "Boss, do you mean you can help me make a true judgment when faced with dilemmas and complexities?"

"These are things I've been unwilling to face, but you just said I've thought about them carefully, but... but..."

Long Haoyu understood Lin Xin's answer.

He gently patted Lin Xin on the shoulder, gesturing for Lin Xin to follow him to the center of the rooftop.

Lin Xin didn't understand Long Haoyu's actions, so after arriving at the center of the rooftop, he stood quietly in front of Long Haoyu.

"Boss, are you planning to help me make a judgment now?" Lin Xin asked in a deep voice.

Long Haoyu hummed in response and slowly removed Wufeng from behind him, the bandages wrapped around Wufeng slowly falling to the ground.

This was the first time Lin Xin had truly seen Long Haoyu's bladeless sword. Looking at the bladeless sword with its countless serrated notches, his heart skipped a beat for no reason.

He knew that Long Haoyu was very strong; Long Haoyu had just revealed that he could reach the level of a level 10 Earth Knight when he went all out.

But Long Haoyu's sword was something he had never imagined would look like this.

Long Haoyu noticed Lin Xin's surprise and asked with a slight smile, "Is it really surprising that my greatsword looks like this?"

Lin Xin nodded and said, "This is a bit unexpected. Boss, are you planning to use your sword to help me make a choice? Is there anything I can do?"

As he asked this question, he looked at Long Haoyu with complete bewilderment, unable to guess what Long Haoyu planned to do next.

"You don't need to do anything, you just need to stand in front of me."

As Long Haoyu answered, he gently pressed his fingertip across a notch in the blade, and a drop of bright red blood seeped from his fingertip and disappeared into the blade.

As the drop of blood entered, the previously unremarkable Wufeng seemed to come alive, its sharp aura bursting forth.

Lin Xin stared in disbelief at Wu Feng's sudden change, his bewilderment reaching its peak.

"Because we will definitely become teammates in the future, you will be one of the members of my Demon Hunter team."

"As a sign of trust between teammates, I can show you a portion of my strength, including my Spirit Furnace."

"What I mean by helping you make a judgment is to use the spirit furnace to help you make the real choice!"

Long Haoyu spoke calmly, and after Wufeng sharpened, he gently pressed one hand on his chest.

A gray luster burst forth from his chest, and the ancient Six Paths Spirit Furnace was released from his chest.

The suspended Six Paths Spirit Furnace establishes a connection with Wufeng in a very profound way, and the two resonate with each other.

The sheer sharpness of the boiling point of the Wufeng was enough to shock Lin Xin on the spot, and the appearance of the Six Paths Spirit Furnace made him involuntarily take a step back.

Even before the spirit furnace had unleashed its true power, he could already sense just how extraordinary Long Haoyu's spirit furnace was.

At this moment, he seemed to understand why Long Haoyu had said he would give up the Spirit Furnace reward to let him join the Demon Hunter Team.

Long Haoyu gently tapped the Six Paths Spirit Furnace with the Wufeng sword, and the structural connection between them became even closer at this moment.

At the same time, his casual words followed: "You can't make a real choice because you haven't experienced the true cruelty of the battlefield."

"And now, I will use my bladeless weapon and my spirit furnace to let you feel the danger within. Although it is not a real battlefield, it is enough."

Long Haoyu used a portion of the Hell Path power from the Six Paths Spirit Furnace that he could control, and blood-red, gray, and golden streaks swirled around the bladeless blade.

Slowly, raise the bladeless object high.

Facing Lin Xin, who was only a few steps away, he slashed at him without hesitation.

Three different colored ribbons instantly shone brightly on the rooftop.

Lin Xin made no move, even though he still didn't understand what Long Haoyu was planning to do.

But Long Haoyu's words had greatly shocked him. Looking at Wufeng slashing towards him, he did not feel the slightest fear.

The imagined scenario of being slashed by a sword did not happen.

Instead, his body was gradually enveloped in three different colors of light.

Chapter 146 In the Name of the Six Paths, Forging a Blood Sea of ​​Hell

The sword leaves no trace, its light covers the clouds.

Long Haoyu did not actually make a move against Lin Xin, just a moment after Wufeng hovered above Lin Xin's head.

All the light enveloped it, including himself.
