Shen Yin Wang Zuo

Chapter 547: Mage Temple (III)

But he was clad in the Golden Foundation knight which could only be obtained by a powerhouse reaching at least the eighth step! And furthermore, no Golden Foundation Knight could be less than excellent among knights of the eighth step. Some Holy Knights of the ninth step didn’t even have such qualifications.

It should be absolutely impossible for someone of an age similar to Han Yu or Lin Xin to have became a Golden Foundation Knight, or at least, elder Fei thought so. He absolutely didn’t believe such a genius to exist. Furthermore, this Golden Foundation knight had the status of Provisional Saint Knight Head, clad in Golden Foundation Armor of epic tier, which meant that he should be among the top powerhouses with the status of Golden Foundation Knight. And a sufficiently high contribution was needed to gain such an honor. The Saint Knight of the previous generation, Han Qian, was a Temple Head for the Knight Temple, spokesperson of the Alliance’s chief Yang Haohan.

However, elder Fei didn’t ask about this. For one, his status couldn’t compare with Long Haochen’s, and also because nosing around others’ secret was impolite. Long Haochen’s light element was assurance that he couldn’t be something such as an undiscovered traitor.

Under the lead of this elder, Long Haochen’s group was brought to the Mage Temple’s second floor, and had three separate rooms arranged for them.

The three of them could be considered as having gone through the hardship of travel, and made themselves presentable before having some food delivered by the Mage Temple, and finally the three of them gathered in Haochen’s room.

“The Mage Temple doesn’t seem friendly with us!” Long Haochen said with a smile.

Han Yu unhappily replied, “It’s not only unfriendliness. It’s practically hostility.”

Long Haochen wrinkled his brows, a serious expression on his face, “I didn’t expect the relationship between the Mage Temple and our Knight Temple to have already become so strained. At this rate, it will end up as a large issue in the future. If things are that way with the strong enemies at our doors, I fear that if things remain that way after the end of the war, the Alliance will collapse even without needing the demons to attack us.”

Han Yu nodded, “Our contradictions with the Mage Temple have been terrible for a long time already. Almost every time a Temple Ranking contest takes place, our two Temples are the ones in competition. We have been pushing down the Mage Temple for so long that it would be rather strange to see them delighted about that. Although it’s not as if they can oppose us in all aspects, at least our relationship is definitely not good.”

Long Haochen said, “Let’s keep talking after Lin Xin comes. From what elder Fei said, Lin Xin’s status in the Mage Temple is not low. I hope that he can serve as a mediator.”

As they were talking, a respectful voice was heard from outside, “Senior Saint Knight Head, Temple Head is asking for you.”

The three of them looked at each other face to face, then stood up together.

Outside the door, a young mage was standing waiting. Upon seeing Long Haochen, he immediately made a gesture of invitation to him.

When Cai’er and Han Yu were about to follow him, the mage stopped them, “Sorry, but Temple Head only wants to meet Saint Knight Head.”

Han Yu, who originally had a lot pent up, was immediately about to flare up, but Long Haochen turned his head, making shaking movements, suppressing Han Yu’s rage.

“Please go back to your own rooms. I will be back rapidly. Maybe Lin Xin will be there in a bit.”

Long Haochen followed the mage that came for him up to the top floor of the Mage Temple. The entrance to the floor was a gate over three meters high.

Passing through this gate, Long Haochen was immediately shocked.

Behind the door was an extremely wide space, at least far larger than the Mage Temple’s outside shape. And furthermore, the magic essence was even more viscous and pure.

The immense hall extended over several hundred meters, surrounded by some sliding doors, with a magic Star of David in the middle of the hall. That young mage brought him in front of the six-pointed star, and spoke, “Please step onto the magic array. It will allow you to enter the senior Temple Head’s office.”

Long Haochen asked with great curiosity, “What place is this floor?”

“Every room here is a training field, and some are residences for high ranked mages. Only seniors of the Saint Magic Tutor rank and above are allowed to reside here.”

Long Haochen noticed unconcealed pride in this young mage’s eyes. He didn’t express himself on the matter, stepping forward, to step onto that six-pointed star.

In a flash of light, he immediately appeared by himself in an empty space.

The surroundings were full of twisted radiances of water, fire, earth, wind, light and darkness element assaulting the senses. By only relying on his sight, one cannot pass through these twisted radiances. Long Haochen released his mental force, faintly sensing that this seemed to be a personal spatial realm, with only a faint connection with their original realm.

“A very powerful mental force. If Saint Knight Head is willing to become a mage, he’d definitely shock the world.” An aged voice sounded out, then the surrounding twisted radiances changed, before an old man wearing a smile appeared in front of Long Hoachen, as the surrounding illusory scenery seemed to take real shape.

This old man was clad in a cyan gown, but his clothing didn’t seem to carry the slightest elemental fluctuation. He didn’t have a wand on his arm either, and he again looked like as normal as an old man could be. With a not-tall build and not-small waist, his chubby face was smiling, making him look very good natured.

Beside the elder was the wind elemental mage Long Haochen had met before, currently watching him with a vigilant look.

“Greetings, Temple Head Li. I am the Provisional Saint Knight representing the Knight Temple, Twelfth Golden Knight. Our Knight Temple’s chief Long has prepared a handmade letter for you.” Saying that, he bowed slightly and made his salutations to Temple Head Li.

This chubby Temple Head of the Mage Temple was named Li Zhengzhi, bearing a crude name, but reckoned to be one of the foremost in the Alliance in terms of strength. Don’t judge him too early based on his outside appearance and good-naturedness. In reality, he was among the particularly vicious and ruthless powerhouses of the Alliance’s elite.

Back in the day, he once penetrated deeply in the demons’ borders, fully using forbidden spells in six demon provinces and enraging the Demon God Emperor, who sent the Moon Demon God Agares after him. Since this occurred on the far side of the demon nation, this battle’s outcome was not well understood. But at least, Li Zhengzhi was still well, having become the current controller behind the Mage Temple.

Seeing Long Haochen bow to him, Li Zhengzhi showed a deep look, and directed a smile, “Saint Knight Head doesn’t need to stand on formalities.” Saying that, he raised his hand. One could see waves of geen light instantly burst forth toward Long Haochen, but when this green attack reached him, its driving force alarmed Haochen.

Is he probing me? Long Haochen was originally not a very competitive person, but as the Saint Knight Head of the Knight Temple, he naturally couldn’t cower at such a time.

Coming to a standstill, Long Haochen’s aura immediately had a great change. A thin layer of golden color extended from the Golden Foundation Armor, and light buzzing sounds were heard.

A fantastic scene followed. That green light pushed onto his body at full force the instant it arrived, but as this golden light covered Long Haochen’s surroundings, it met this impact attack, and echoed with the green attack, making for a dazzling sight.

The female mage Tan Wan standing to the side opened her eyes wide. This was the first time she saw someone use such methods to dispel her teacher’s probing. Although Long Haochen was a light elemental knight, she felt as if he had perfectly assimilated the secret of the wind elemental spiritual energy discharged by Li Zhengzhi. The two of them were confronting each other with entirely different looks, as Li Zhengzhi’s spiritual energy obviously didn’t manage to shake him in the slightest.

“Good!” Li Zhenzhi had high praises, “As steady as a mountain, standing on firm guard, spiritual energy prepared at any times. If I am not mistaken, this ability of yours, Saint Knight Head, should be self-created, making your own elemental power resonate to reach the same frequency as my wind elemental spiritual energy. Even I have no way to combine my spiritual energy with other abilities under such premises. But I am shocked to see that this ability of yours was perfectly integrated into Divine Obstruction, using your own body as fuel. What a great surprise! It looks like the Knight Temple has found itself another exceptional powerhouse. How enviable!”

Long Haochen respectfully replied, “Temple Head Li is exaggerating. Your strength is as vast as the ocean. I am merely a lonesome boat in comparison.” These words were purely sincere. Although he had used his evolved Ripples of Light ability to resist Li Zhengzhi’s spiritual energy shock, that spiritual energy immediately submerged him like a vast ocean, something he could himself only possibly accomplish by using a very powerful ability of shock.

Li Zhengzhi laughed out loud, “Come, and let me see the letter Old Long has written.” Saying that, he waved his hand towards Long Haochen, a green light turning into a rope then lightly rolled around the scroll in Haochen’s hand. As it slowly moved, the scroll flew towards him.

This was real exquisite knowledge. Although he used very little spiritual energy, all of it was coiling like a snake, without the slightest superficial leak. This was basically a master level control of spiritual energy. Long Haochen had never seen such exquisite control in his life. As merit follows fame, this Temple Head Li gave him a feeling of unfathomable deepness.

Li Zhengzhi pointed his hand to the scroll. Without need for him to pay concern to the method of opening this scroll depicted by Long Haochen, the scroll spread out in his hand.

Don’t underestimate this small act, the simple-looking act of breaking the magical array around a magic scroll. This was after all a magic scroll made by the Divine Knight Long Tianying.

Furthermore, Long Haochen could clearly feel that Li Zhengzhi was showing off purposely. He could very naturally use his own spiritual energy to take care of daily matters, making understandable the reason for his heavy body weight. His spiritual energy could help him with almost any matter, therefore his body didn’t move much, and naturally would pile up fat. This fatness was very natural.
