Tan Wan said with a bitter smile, “You don’t need to console me. A loss is a loss. That’s just the gap between the two of us. However, I have two questions. First, just how did you split my tornado formation? And second, you seemed already aware that I had learnt martial arts, but this secret is only known to my teacher. Even Lin Xin didn’t know about it, could it be Teacher who told you about it? This can’t be!!”

Long Haochen showed a faint smile, “I had to go all out against your tornado formation. I previously self-created a technique called Ripples of Light. It is based on research on the frequencies of spiritual energy waves. For this reason, I had already found out that each of the tornadoes forming your tornado formation were all different.

“It wasn’t as an act of contempt that I had shut my eyes, but to focus my attention on determining the variations on these tornadoes. If my response was wrong, they would have erupted with their true might. In the end, I determined the differences in their frequency and found the breaches in each tornado, in order to finally neutralize them. This took a large amount of focus to accomplish.”

Tan Wan still seemed unable to understand, “But I have never seen something such as that sword intent of yours. Even the powerhouses from the Warrior Temple don’t have anyone who’s your match in this aspect. If I am not mistaken, you should have already reached the boundary of becoming one with your sword to be able to use that sword intent so unrestrainedly. It’s definitely not a matter that is comprehended in one day or two. Just how did you reach such martial attainments?”

Long Haochen showed a slight smile, “This question is even easier to answer. Just like you are training magic as well as martial arts, I am not only a Guardian Knight, but also a Retribution Knight. My skill with the sword is naturally an important object of focus.”

Tan Wan opened her eyes wide, “A dual Retribution and Guardian Knight? And you really are able to harmonize perfectly these two kinds of knight abilities. It appears that your Knight Temple is still far ahead of us.” Reaching this point, she couldn’t help but feel disappointed.

Long Haochen continued, “Let me reply to your other question. It is indeed thanks to Li Zhengzhi that I know about your dual expertise in magic and martial arts. It’s not that he has told me, but he has instead showed me. Because the day head Li changed himself into incarnation of the Wind God, I had a special feeling. Although he was using a powerful spell of the forbidden spell level that day, if he hadn’t a sufficient martial mastery, he couldn’t possibly have reached such a level of stability in the blade. This is how I had this audacious supposition. Actually, magic and martial arts are a set. To us knights, magic is used to supplement martial arts, and that’s how knight abilities are constituted. Any of these abilities are drawing power from spiritual energy. Under such premises it isn’t impossible for mages to make breakthroughs thanks to martial techniques. But I suggest you put more efforts on increasing your external spiritual energy, otherwise your use of martial abilities will be limited by only relying on your internal spiritual energy. That is unless you one day reach head Li’s level of cultivation, where martial arts can be used through a forbidden spell.”

Tan Wan snorted at him, “You are saying that so relaxedly, but how could it be so easy? Anyone would find it incomparably hard to train both martial arts and magic. A person has limited energy and obviously needs to make choices.”

Long Haochen nodded, “You will have to ask guidance from head Li about that, I cannot help you on this matter. Our battle is now over right?”

Tan Wan let out an unhappy snort, “You won. How about it? Still want to shame me further?”

Long Haochen broke into a laughter, “You should really change this temperament, otherwise I’m afraid that it will affect your future cultivation. With unstable emotions, one can hardly manage to cultivate to the peak.”

Tan Wan was baffled. It’s unknown whether she really assimilated Long Haochen’s advice, as she once again shifted subjects, “Haven’t you said that you have a favor to ask me? Speak now. Since you won against me, I will do my best to answer to it.”

Long Haochen replied, “I will soon leave alongside Lin Xin and the others, but big sister Xin’er will be remaining in the Tombal Mountain Pass alongside her Demon Hunt Squad. I hope that you can help me look after them. I have always regarded big sister Xin’er the same as a biological elder sister.”

Her brows rising high, Tan Wan replied in fury, “Are you trying to shame me on purpose? You must have already learnt about the matter between Lin Xin and I right? Want me to look after my sworn enemy? What a good idea!”

Long Haochen became quite helpless, “I only hope that you can let go of these grudges. Come to mention it, this matter cannot be blamed on anyone. It was all the result of a freak combination of factors. Are you really planning on staying so rigid on the matter forever? In the future, both Lin Xin and you will surely become higher-ups for the Mage Temple. Don’t tell me you think the contradiction between the two of you will not lead to issues in the Mage Temple’s ranks? I know that you are finding it very hard to let go of the matter. I don’t have a very good understanding of emotional matters either, so I can only advise you generally, to heal your heart by letting go. Time is the best remedy: maybe one day you will come to find your true love, and involuntarily come to forgive Lin Xin. But I must emphasize on one point. No matter how strong you are in the Mage Temple, I hope that you won’t wound big sister Xin’er. Otherwise, I won’t ever let you get away with it, and won’t even leave the Mage Temple in peace.”

“Are you threatening me?” Tan Wan coldly asked.

Long Haochen indifferently replied, “It can be considered so. I hope that the next time we meet, it will be as friends, and not as enemies.” After saying that, he turned back to exit the room.

Seeing his leaving figure, Tan Wan really had a special feeling. In front of this man, the one that has always been regarded as the number one genius of the Mage Temple was actually so insignificant. Seeing him put his Golden Foundation Armor back on, she felt as if she was looking at her teacher from behind. _But he’s far younger than me!_

Unwell because of disappointment, Tan Wan found out with shock that she didn’t have the courage to reject Long Haochen’s request; she didn’t dare. _But must I really take care of that girl just as he said?_

Early morning.

Long Haochen, Cai’er, Han Yu and Lin Xin all exited the Tombal Mountain Pass and headed to the south.

Li Xin’s eyes became hazy with tears at some points. Beside her were the members of her Demon Hunt Squad.

Even if he was an idiot, Luc Xu would find out about Long Haochen’s arrival. His feelings of great sorrow even exceeded Tan Wan. After all, he had personally witnessed the growth of their Demon Hunt Squad! After just a few years, he already found himself unable to chase further after them. The gap between them was already wide beyond any possibility to catch up.

Not far away, Tan Wan and Xuanyuan Yan stood there, following with their eyes the departing four. Xuanyuan Yan felt as if relieved from a large burden, and his gloomy look was finally relaxed. He had always loved Tan Wan dearly, but Tan Wan cancelled their engagement because of Lin Xin’s letter. He had never hated her for that, but had hated Lin Xin to the extreme.

As Lin Xin’s talent stood out in the Mage Temple, due to his exceptional performance in the Tombal Mountain Pass, Xuanyuan Yan’s bitter hate only kept deepening. He even privately provoked Lin Xin many times, out of fear that Tan Wan may be snatched by him.

Seeing Lin Xin finally leave, Xuanyuan Yan found out with amazement that the rancor filling him seemed to disappear as he departed. Although Tan Wan didn’t want to admit it, she had just lost her greatest rival. Xuanyuan Yan understood her more than anyone else, and knew what he ought to do.

Tan Wan suddenly came in front of Li Xin, telling her, “Don’t cry.”

Li Xin had a terrible start, and looking at Tan Wan, she couldn’t help but wrinkle her eyebrows. _Lin Xin has just left, what does this girl still want?_

After pausing for a short time, Tan Wan declared, “You have a good brother. I will be writing off all our past matters. The bastard Lin Xin isn’t in my memories anymore.” After saying that, she immediately turned back away.

Li Xin became lifeless, while Xuanyuan Yan was greatly overjoyed. He understood that his opportunity had finally come. Maybe this was the arrival of the spring of his life.

From the Tombal Mountain Pass to the south, the next stop was the Southeastern Fort.

The Southeastern Mountain Pass commanded by the Warrior Temple has always been interdependent with the Mage Temple. These two great Temples were quite close, and they gave each other mutual help; so although the Southeastern fort had a tough time, they still managed to repel the demon offensive.

After four days of intense travel, Long Haochen and the other three finally reached this one set of city and fort they had visited before. The timing of their arrival was quite coincidental as the demon armies were right in the midst of launching a fierce offensive against the Southeastern Mountain Pass.

The eight great demon gods standing outside the fort had yet to join the battle, but their demon god pillars’ glows were fully encompassing their armies. A bitter battle was happening at high altitude, giving off a faint scent of blood. When looking down from a height, one could see scenes of bloodbaths.

“Captain, what’s to be done? Let’s directly join the battle!” Han Yu expressed to Long Haochen.

With a nod, he replied, “Let’s wait a little moment. First, search for Yuanyuan.” Despite being the Scion of Light, he also had his own selfish motives. Now that they were far and elevated high, Han Yu and he released light essence, expressing their status as allies. Assisting the Southeastern Mountain Pass in fending off the demon army was a must, but helping Wang Yuanyuan was even more pressing.

Shutting his eyes, Long Haochen, riding Star King, swept his mental force through the Southeastern Fort’s scope, looking for Wang Yuanyuan’s silhouette.

Because of the war happening below, the fluctuations of spiritual energy were extremely frantic. There it caused terrible interferences to his mental force, making his scouting a lot more challenging.

Wang Yuanyuan was indeed fighting on the Southeastern Fort. In her left hand was the Gigantic Divine Soul Shield, and in her right hand, Bloodstorm. She was in a total slaughter, to the extent that she wouldn’t be able to tell out how many enemies’ blood was stained on her.
