In Douluo Continent, his martial soul mutated into Blue Silver Grass.

Not long after...

In the northeast of the continent, at Yulong Pass, the main hall of the Knights' Temple is located.

In the legends of the Holy Demon Continent, the dragon race lived in the northeast. In order to resist the invasion of the dragon race, humans built this Dragon Pass in ancient times.

Compared to other formidable passes, the terrain around Yulong Pass is relatively flat, but it is completely covered in ice and snow, which never melts.

Beyond the Dragon Pass, a vast expanse stretches of barren, frigid land, frequently ravaged by blizzards comparable to forbidden spells. The power of nature has become a natural barrier for this formidable pass.

Therefore, although the Knights' Temple is the foremost of the six great temples, Dragon Pass has not been attacked very often. Moreover, Dragon Pass itself was built to defend against the dragons, and among the six great fortresses of the Temple Alliance, it is the most magnificent, possessing several powerful weapons passed down from ancient times.

Moreover, although conditions outside Yulong Pass are harsh, the troops stationed there are none other than the most elite legions of the demon race. The entire army numbers only 300,000, but their overall combat strength far surpasses that of the million-strong demon army at Exorcism Pass.

Yulong Pass has always been an important border city, which is why the Knights Temple is stationed here, because the Knights Temple has the strongest overall strength.

……

"Waiting here!" Qiu Yonghao saw Yang Haohan from afar and shouted loudly.

"Hehehe, my dear friends have come to my Knights' Temple. If I didn't come out to welcome them, wouldn't it make me, the Temple Master, seem incompetent!"

Yang Haohan, the holder of the Throne of the God of Guardianship and Compassion of the Knights Temple, and the Knight of the God of Defense and Coordination of the Knights Temple.

"Haha, Brother Yang, you're joking!" Priest Ling, the Temple Master, said with a smile.

"I wonder what brings you all to my Knights' Temple?" Yang Haohan asked, his gaze fixed on Li Zhengzhi, who was all smiles.

"Hmm? There's a new face here! Hehehe!" Suddenly, Yang Haohan noticed Lin Hai and couldn't help but be surprised.

"Hehehe, Lao Yang! Don't blame your old brothers, I really have something to discuss with you this time."

Yang Haohan could tell that these people weren't here with good intentions. Who would bring a group of ninth-tier professional experts with them when they go out?

However, Yang Haohan's vigilance reached its peak after Qiu Yonghao said those words.

"What are you planning to do now?" Yang Haohan asked warily.

One word cannot express the bitterness in his heart. Everyone says that he is the leader of the Holy Temple Alliance, but only he knows the bitterness in his heart.

"Hehehe!" Li Zhengzhi chuckled as he replied.

"It's nothing major, I just wanted to borrow your esteemed palace's divine artifact, the throne."

"What nonsense are you spouting in broad daylight!" Yang Haohan looked at Li Zhengzhi with a strange expression.

"I can lend you the Throne of Divine Seal, but... are you even capable of using it?"

"They're not children anymore. Don't they know that a divine artifact like the Throne of Divine Seal requires a trial before it can be approved and used?"

"Besides, can you even use the Throne of Gods? Everyone here is either a mage, a priest, a warrior, or a summoner!"

"Hehe, of course we old folks can't use it, but this young friend can!" Chen Hongyu said, looking at Lin Hai.

"Oh?" It was at this moment that Yang Haohan truly began to regard Lin Hai as someone on the same level as himself.

It's not entirely his fault. Lin Hai had been keeping his spiritual energy fluctuations sealed, so Yang Haohan hadn't been able to sense Lin Hai's level immediately.

"Is this young friend the one who needs it?"

Lin Hai slowly floated forward, while the other ninth-level experts around him stepped back, making room for him.

Upon seeing this, Yang Haohan's eyes narrowed, and he thought to himself, "It seems that this kid in front of me is no ordinary person. He can actually get so many ninth-level experts to come with him and even step down half a rank for him."

"This kid either has a background that's even bigger than the Holy Temple Alliance, or he's exceptionally strong."

"In the past six thousand years since the Demon Race rewarded the continent, there has basically been no powerful human force other than the Holy Temple Alliance. And the so-called reclusive powerhouses could not possibly have such a long lifespan. So there is only one answer."

"This kid is a strong person, and he's even stronger than Li Zhengzhi."

"Junior Lin Hai greets the Lord of the Knights Temple!"

"You're too kind, young friend!" Yang Haohan put aside his thoughts and said to Lin Hai with a smile.

"So, young friend, you wish to borrow the Divine Throne? May I ask what your profession is?" Yang Haohan emphasized the word "borrow" in his voice.

"I don't only have one profession; I can use magic," Lin Hai said, looking at Li Zhengzhi.

Then he looked at Ling Xiao and said, "My skills also include healing."

"Besides that, I am also a soldier."

"And I am, of course, a knight as well."

"If I had to choose, I think the title 'Battle Mage' would be more appropriate!"

"A battle mage? Heh, that's interesting."

"Young friend, you have quite the methods!" Yang Haohan then changed the subject.

"These four Temple Masters and these old friends were all gathered here by you, young friend, weren't they?"

Yang Haohan, after all, was still the Temple Master of the Knights Temple and the leader of the Temple Alliance. After a short while, he realized that Lin Hai was the organizer of today's situation.

"You're too kind, senior!" Lin Hai replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"I was only doing this because I knew my senior wouldn't easily grant me the right to challenge for the Throne of Gods!"

"To be honest, you're absolutely right. If it were just you, I really wouldn't agree."

"But your methods are quite good. You actually managed to gather all these old guys together. It seems you've already convinced them with some kind of persuasion."

"Given the current situation, if I disagree, I'm afraid you'll tear down my Knight's Temple!"

"However, I have no objection. If you want to qualify, ask the others for their opinions!" Under the gaze of more than a dozen ninth-level experts, Yang Haohan finally compromised.

Life is a constant process of compromise. Since they have already brought so many ninth-tier experts, it would be irresponsible to the alliance if we didn't accept them. Moreover, the four hall masters have already decided to help Lin Hai, and the people from the other four holy halls behind them are also Lin Hai's hidden support.

"Everyone, come with me!" Yang Haohan said, then disappeared from the spot.

"It seems that old fox Yang Haohan has compromised, but Yang Haohan is still the most easy-to-talk-to ninth-tier Divine Seal Knight in the Knight Temple."

"From now on, it's up to you. Those guys under you aren't exactly known for their good tempers!"

"Don't worry, kid, with us here, those guys won't really treat you like that." Qiu Yonghao came to Lin Hai's side and patted Lin Hai's shoulder generously.

After Lin Hai and the others from the four major temples entered the Knight Temple, another elderly voice rang out, "Yang Haohan, I didn't accompany you out just now. Did they give you any trouble?"

"Old Dragon, you're overthinking it. As a fellow member of the Human Race Holy Temple Alliance, of course such a thing wouldn't happen."

"Palace Master, what happened? My father and I were in seclusion. If we hadn't received your message, we wouldn't have known they were here!" Another younger voice rang out.

"Sigh, let's wait until they arrive!"

"They're here!" a younger voice rang out.

As they spoke, Lin Hai and the others entered the central hall of the Knights' Temple.

Lin Hai saw three people in his field of vision, one of whom was Yang Haohan.

Another one was tall and slender, with black hair and black eyes, and a dignified appearance, with particularly bright eyes.

The last one was a tall, round-faced old man with a face like a red date, a straight nose, and a square mouth.

"Hey! Old Long!! You look pretty energetic!" That's right, it's Qiu Yonghao again. No one else is as straightforward as him.

"Xingyu is here too!"

Long Xingyu nodded to Qiu Yonghao.

This round-faced old man is Long Tianyin!

Long Tianyin, the holder of the throne of the God of Order and Law, and the knight of the God of Control and Restraint.

"Hmph!" Long Tianyin snorted coldly.

"Not good!" Long Tianyin said coldly. Indeed, who would be happy to have a bunch of unpleasant guests in their home?

"Haha, don't be like that, I just want to borrow a Divine Throne from you guys!" Qiu Yonghao had arrived beside Long Tianyin at some point and patted Long Tianyin on the shoulder.

"Soul Temple, Priest Temple, Warrior Temple, Magic Temple, what a grand scheme!" Long Tianyin's gaze swept over the twelve ninth-tier powerhouses besides Lin Hai.

"Li Zhengzhi of the Magic Temple, you deserve some credit for this!"

Li Zhengzhi smiled but remained silent. Of course, Ling Xiao and Chen Hongyu also didn't speak.

"Hmph!" Seeing that Li Zhengzhi ignored him, Long Tianyin snorted coldly and decided not to make a fool of himself.

Long Tianyin turned his gaze to the true protagonist of the day, "So you want the Divine Throne of our Knights' Temple!"

"You've got quite the nerve, but I don't know if you have the ability to back it up."

"Don't think you can rest easy just because you've brought Li Zhengzhi, that little fatso, Qiu Laogui, Ling Laotou, and Xu Huli here."

"I'm telling you right now, don't even think about it!"

"If you want the right to take the Divine Throne assessment, defeat me first!"

Boom! The Dragon Heaven Seal unleashed a powerful aura.

Starting from the Dragon Heaven Seal, endless streams of wind erupted, swirling the air currents and causing the hems of people's clothes to flutter.

The relatively weaker, non-combat-type ninth-tier experts have already released their inner spiritual power to resist the aura released by the Dragon Heaven Seal.

Those with formidable strength, such as Qiu Yonghao of the Warrior Temple, Yang Haohan of the Knight Temple, Long Xingyu of the Knight Temple, Li Zhengzhi of the Magic Temple, and Lin Hai, remained unmoved.

"Good lad!" Long Tianyin thought to himself as he looked at Lin Hai's calm demeanor.

"He didn't even flinch; he must be quite something!"

"Senior Long, if that's all, I'm afraid it's not enough!"

"Um?"

"Arrogant!!" Long Tianyin was furious. At his age, he was still being mocked by a junior.

The Dragon Heaven Seal unleashed its full power, pressing down on Lin Hai alone.

However, to his disappointment, Lin Hai did not collapse as he had imagined.

"Since we already knew that, let's not waste any more time and have a match, Senior Dragon!"

"Nonsense!" Long Tianyin said coldly.

"Come with me! This isn't a place for you to spar," Yang Haohan interjected.

"Boy, I have guarded Yulong Pass for many years. How could you possibly compare to me?"

"No need for further words, senior; the outcome will be decided in the battle."

The scene shifts, and the group arrives at the Knights' Temple's training ground. This place is vast and is engraved with defensive formations, capable of withstanding battles of the ninth rank and above.

"Come and fight!" Long Tianyin roared. An epic-level sword appeared in his hand.

As soon as he finished speaking, Long Tianyin took a large step without pausing for a moment and rushed towards Lin Hai.

His strides were long, each step causing a powerful boom throughout the training ground. Intense golden flames suddenly rose from his body, unleashing a vast and oppressive force like a raging torrent.

Lin Hai raised his right hand and swung it diagonally downwards, and the Lightning Blue Silver Overlord Spear appeared in his hand.

"An epic weapon!!" Qiu Yonghao and the others exclaimed in surprise.

"No, it's an immortal-level weapon, which is practically a divine artifact!"

"Just who is this kid?!"

As Long Tianyin charged forward, Lin Hai quickly dodged and moved aside with a light step.

"Is that the combat technique, Light Speed ​​Flash?"

"Not really!" Long Xingyu shook his head.

The situation on the competition stage changed rapidly. Lin Hai's speed exceeded Long Tianyin's expectations. As Long Tianyin charged forward, Lin Hai had already moved to Long Tianyin's side.

Lin Hai gripped the Thunder Blue Silver Overlord Spear in his hand and thrust it at Long Tianyin.

Long Tianyin was also very experienced in combat. He immediately paused his spiritual power, stopped, and turned to the side to precisely parry Lin Hai's spear thrust with his sword.

With a loud bang, the collision of the two epic weapons also caused a violent shockwave.

After their first exchange of blows, the two stepped back half a step from each other.

However, Long Tianyin would not give up so easily. With a sweep of his giant sword, Lin Hai leaned back, and Long Tianyin's attack missed its mark once again.

However, Long Tianyin's attack was different. As the giant sword missed again, a distorted ripple suddenly spread out from it. This kind of area-of-effect attack was something Lin Hai, who was now close by, could not avoid.

"It's the Elemental Annihilation Aura," Yang Haohan explained to those around him, outlining the battle situation.

"Within the range of the Elemental Annihilation Aura, all elements will instantly disappear, even in places where the light element is extremely dense."

"So that's how it is, elemental stripping!" Lin Hai immediately felt the elemental power around him disappear in an instant.

"Inner spiritual power is not my only means! Even without the power of light element, I can still fight bravely with the spear in my hand."
