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

Liquid spiritual energy is the outward manifestation of a fifth-tier professional.

Similar to Long Haoyu's situation, Yang Wenzhao's body surface also began to flow with a layer of liquid spiritual energy.

At first glance, the two seem to be no different from each other.

Yang Wenzhao was ready. He took a deep breath, tightened his grip on the greatsword in both hands, and prepared to launch an attack.

Just as he was about to make his move, his actions suddenly stopped.

His deep gaze was filled with solemnity as he looked at Long Haoyu. The liquid spiritual energy that had been slowly flowing on the surface of Long Haoyu's body suddenly surged forth.

Seeing this, his pupils contracted involuntarily, staring in disbelief at Long Haoyu's condition.

In the audience, the top ten contestants of the Knight Temple and their mentors all stared wide-eyed, utterly shocked.

The liquid spiritual energy has become so abundant that it's not just the strength of someone who has just stepped into the fifth rank; it's almost the sixth rank!

How did contestant number five train? It's unbelievable that someone so young could achieve such astonishing results!

"It seems like my brother is serious this time."

Looking at Long Haoyu's current state, Long Haochen couldn't help but recall Long Haoyu's brutal killing of the Emerald Twin Blade Demon during the assessment.

Long Haoyu looked just like this back then, and afterwards, the Emerald Twin Blade Demon, who could give many fifth-tier professionals a headache, became completely powerless to resist.

A closely contested match eventually turned into a one-sided crushing defeat.

Li Xin couldn't help but smack her lips: "Logically speaking, Haoyu shouldn't have used his full strength! Suddenly unleashing his power to this extent seems a bit like bullying him."

This was the first time Ye Hua had seen Long Haoyu unleash his full fifth-tier strength. After pondering for a long time, he slowly said, "It seems that contestant number one must have said something to Haoyu, which is why Haoyu chose this way of fighting."

"But judging solely from the liquid abilities on their body surfaces, contestant number one's spiritual power is vastly inferior to Haoyu's. With such an overwhelming advantage in spiritual power, Haoyu might be aiming to end this match in one move!"

Ye Hua is a seasoned fifth-tier professional.

He was very familiar with the degree to which liquid spiritual energy flowed on the surface of his body and its corresponding strength.

At this moment, Long Haoyu had such an overwhelming advantage that ending the battle in one move seemed very possible to him.

On the referee's stand, Han Qian also stared at Long Haoyu's expression, her eyes widening just like everyone else's.

Unlike the others, he was at least an eighth-level professional, so he clearly heard the whispers between Long Haoyu and Yang Wenzhao.

Yang Wenzhao asked Long Haoyu to unleash his true peak power, and Long Haoyu agreed.

Given the current situation, Long Haoyu did not verbally agree, but he still held back in his actions.

Looking at Long Haoyu at this moment, Han Qian felt as if he were seeing Long Haoyu again a few days ago when he was testing the power of the Six Paths Spirit Furnace in Qiling Valley.

Even the sixth-tier defensive skill unleashed by the Divine Knight could be broken by Long Haoyu, so Yang Wenzhao's fate was predictable.

"Old Yang, this is a request made by your grandson himself. Please don't blame me for not intervening."

Han Qian thought to himself, his gaze mostly fixed on Long Haoyu: "After this battle, Haoyu will probably become famous throughout the six holy temples."

"Winning the fifth-tier battle with an overwhelming victory will probably make the other temples restless."

On the trial ground.

Long Haoyu is ready.

All preparations were completed in an instant.

Feeling the flow of his own spiritual power, he sensed that his spiritual power had soared to at least 3700 points.

This total spiritual power is the baseline for officially becoming a level 10 Earth Knight.

Once Long Haoyu had finished preparing everything, and the spiritual energy on his body was no longer as turbulent as it had been at the beginning, becoming relatively calm, Yang Wenzhao slowly came back to his senses.

Having confirmed that this was indeed Long Haoyu's true power, he no longer hesitated. He swung his two-handed greatsword and instantly used the fifth-tier knight skill 'Assault', actively closing in on Long Haoyu.

Battles between Retribution Knights aren't about fancy moves; speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness are the only way to win.

As he approached the past, the liquid spiritual energy on his body, which was not as viscous as Long Haoyu's, began to dance, raising all his power to its peak at that moment.

Long Haoyu calmly watched Yang Wenzhao approaching him. At this moment, he had no worries and naturally raised Wufeng horizontally.

The liquid spiritual energy on the surface of his body, as well as the numerous spiritual energies within his body, rapidly converged towards Wufeng at this moment.

Golden spiritual energy slowly enveloped Wufeng, then began to condense towards the sword tip.

If the Demon Emperor were here at this moment, he would definitely be able to recognize at a glance that the move Long Haoyu was preparing was similar to his 'One of Annihilation'.

Long Haoyu's move was indeed derived from the Demon Emperor's moves. He remembered that his grandfather was able to kill a spirit dragon with a total spiritual power of 98 with this move. He learned this powerful move after enduring the backlash after his spiritual power exceeded one million.

He couldn't reach the level of the Demon Emperor. Even the spiritual energy rapidly converging towards the sword tip wasn't as solid as he had imagined; a large portion of it was lost during the condensation process.

Although it's not perfect, at best it's only an initial version of 'The One of Annihilation', unable to achieve true spiritual energy compression, but it's sufficient for the current competition.

In a split second, the spiritual energy that Long Haoyu had been rapidly gathering on the tip of his sword came to a halt, and Yang Wenzhao also used the 'Assault' skill to close in on him at that moment.

Two large golden swords attacked him swiftly and ruthlessly.

Seeing this, Long Haoyu faced Yang Wenzhao's attack without any hesitation.

In an instant, a sword was slashed out.

Chapter 150 Self-created Skill, Annihilation Sword

"Bang-"

A crisp sound rang in Yang Wenzhao's ears.

He charged forward, his left and right swords slashing at Long Haoyu from two very strange directions, seemingly intent on blocking Long Haoyu's path.

In his planned attack, no matter how Long Haoyu reacted, they would eventually collide head-on.

However, the moment he actually swung the two swords, he could only hear a slight sound. Long Haoyu, who should have been breaking through in front of him or to the left and right, had already disappeared.

Yang Wenzhao was very surprised. Just as he was wondering, his nerves suddenly tensed up, and he turned around and slashed a golden sword light behind him.

Long Haoyu was already behind him, and with his back to him, he simply turned his body slightly to dodge the sword light that was unleashed.

Yang Wenzhao was even more puzzled. Long Haoyu had clearly agreed to use his full strength, but now he felt as if Long Haoyu had made a move, yet it also seemed as if he hadn't.

At least he hasn't felt any discomfort yet; all he can sense is that Long Haoyu seems to have lost his will to fight.

The knights in the audience were all dumbfounded, staring in astonishment at Long Haoyu, who had already sheathed his sword.

Even with their extensive experience, they were still somewhat confused as to how Long Haoyu had gotten behind Yang Wenzhao.

The momentum during preparation was so extraordinary, but the attack was so swift and decisive that it was completely incomprehensible yet impressive.

Han Qian's breathing became heavy. He had seen Long Haoyu's movements the entire time, and the clearer he saw Long Haoyu's attack trajectory, the more uneasy he felt.

He was certain that Long Haoyu's move was no less powerful than when he used the Human Path in Qiling Valley, and he was also certain that Long Haoyu had not used the power of the Six Paths Spirit Furnace.

How could someone perform so exceptionally well without the power of a spirit furnace?

"Brother Haoyu, you promised me you'd use your full strength, but now you..."

Puff puff--

Yang Wenzhao was puzzled and wanted to ask Long Haoyu why he had suddenly lost his will to fight.

An unexpected change occurred to him; his clothes suddenly burst open at the chest, revealing a small golden dot on his bronze skin.

A dazzling golden light suddenly shot outwards from the center of this tiny golden dot.

The immense power inflicted terrifying damage on his body at that moment.

"This is?"

Yang Wenzhao stared in disbelief at the beams of light bursting from his chest.

Before he could make any further moves, his body fell straight down onto the ring.

"So the attack has already been completed."

"This fifth contestant is truly terrifyingly strong!"

The knights in the audience all realized what was happening when they saw Yang Wenzhao's reaction.

It wasn't that Long Haoyu lacked the will to fight; rather, it was that there was no longer any need for him to continue.

With a single move, Yang Wenzhao, the number one contestant, was decisively defeated on the stage, no longer needing to muster the will to launch a second attack.

Han Qian transformed into a golden ray of light and landed on the arena. In an instant, he activated his Radiant Body and gently pressed his finger on the small golden dot on Yang Wenzhao's chest.

As the Paladin Commander, he used his formidable power to unleash the healing abilities of the Guardian Knight branch on Yang Wenzhao at this moment.

While healing Yang Wenzhao, he also felt the injury caused by the small golden dot on Yang Wenzhao's chest.

At the same time, he also realized that Long Haoyu had held back, and the power he unleashed was all within a controllable range. Otherwise, given Yang Wenzhao's condition, he would have instantly died on the stage, without even having a chance for Long Haoyu to heal him.

"Cough cough cough..."

Yang Wenzhao coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood, which was cured by Han Qian. He regained some of his energy, but his aura had become very weak.

"Brother Haoyu, is this all the strength you have?"

"It seems I was overthinking things. I thought you hadn't made a move yet, but I never expected you to unleash a sword strike that could decide the outcome of the battle."

Yang Wenzhao sighed sincerely, his listless eyes fixed on Long Haoyu, slowly filling with a complex mix of emotions.

Long Haoyu turned around to meet Yang Wenzhao's gaze and slowly replied, "I promised Brother Yang that I would do my best, and I will certainly not go back on my word."

"This move represents the full extent of my power with just this sword and myself. I hope it truly grants you your wish!"

Yang Wenzhao nodded slightly: "I lost this match, but my loss now doesn't mean I'll lose in the future!"

"Once my strength continues to improve, I will come back to challenge you again!"

Long Haoyu nodded and smiled. If Yang Wenzhao lost all fighting spirit after losing this battle, he wouldn't be Yang Wenzhao.

Yang Wenzhao used this last breath to end his conversation with Long Haoyu, then his head lolled to the side and he completely fainted, leaving Han Qian to continue treating him.

Han Qian looked at Yang Wenzhao, who had already fainted, with a somewhat speechless expression: "This kid is really stubborn. He managed to muster up a breath and say these words."

"It's good that you've fainted now, it'll make it easier for me to continue treating you, kid."

As Yang Wenzhao fainted, Han Qian intensified his treatment of Yang Wenzhao, while glancing at Long Haoyu.

"Haoyu, was that sword strike you just used another skill you created yourself?" Han Qian asked with great interest. He was certain that this move did not belong to the Punisher Knight branch of skills, nor was it a skill that Long Xingyu had used before.

Long Haoyu nodded in agreement: "Yes, I have gained some insights recently, so I created this skill. However, it is not perfect yet. When I gather all the spiritual power, a lot of it is lost, so it cannot exert its true power."
