Chapter 15: Standard Knight Examination (III)

Elder sister, be careful. as Long Hao Chen warned her, his foot had already moved. The distance crossed by each of his steps werent much, but the pace was high. This was the knights short distance charge, that he correctly executed. Both swords, the first in front of Long Hao Chen and the second behind his back almost arrived in front of Li Xin in a flash.

A fast and strong thrust went straight towards Li Xins left shoulder, it was filled with the power of the sheer momentum concentrated in the charge.

Li Xin showed a smile. Her left hands sword was quickly raised, blocking Long Hao Chens attack, and she attacked with her right hands sword in no hurry. She wanted to see if this little guy could be harmed by an attack of this level.

Bang , without a sign, Long Hao Chens right feet suddenly stomped on the ground, causing his foot to cancel its previous motion, forcefully ending this all-out charge, his body floating along with it. Meanwhile, the sent out refined iron sword was quickly retrieved along with the motion, just in time to cross this provocation of Li Xin.

Nalan Shus eyes shone; skill interruption?

He also took back into his hand the refined-iron sword at this moment. The edge of his sword momentarily shone and right afterwards, with at least twice his prior speed, a light shone on the edge, aiming for Li Xings left shoulder as before.

[Pure White Edge], [Thorny Charge]. Two knight abilities practically perfectly mixed together were used, and it happened to create an opening in this moment of provocation from Li Xin.

The knight skill called [Thorny Charge] is able to raise the speed of the attack and, at the same time to gather the spiritual energy. Coordinated with a second ability that condenses the spiritual energy, [Pure White Edge], this hits power had already greatly outstripped Long Hao Chens 107th spiritual energy level.

However, Li Xin was not a Standard Knight, she was a Genuine Knight and at the instant the sword moved, she was already in guard against it, her right hands sword arriving before her body in this critical situation. No matter how much Long Hao Chen enhanced his attack, it couldnt be enough to pierce her defense.

Ding

The two swords met each other, Long Hao Chens thrust hit the part located at the top third of the blade. The power of the straight thrust wasnt really lacking compared to the cross cut. However, because of the superiority of Li Xins spiritual energy compared to Long Haos, she blocked the attack, but couldnt help draw two step backs.

Pa , the sword in Long Hao Chens right hand was repelled, but his movements did not stop so easily, his right arms refined-iron sword rose at the same time as he took a step forward, unexpectedly assaulting again.

A second charge, and at such a close-distance, but it was repelled even though this attack was the second in a row.

Long Hao Chens tough right hand swept from the side. The second charge only consisted of three steps, but during those three steps, his body seemed very stable. Then, his foot rotated, realizing with his body a swift whirl. The left hands sword rose, shining of a thin white light, [Pure White Edge]s severe chop was directed straight towards Li Xin.

Li Xins eyes were full of surprise, but she showed her inborn talents of a genius knight at this moment. Her right foot was directed towards the back, her body taking a stable posture. Then, her body bent over, the sword at her right-hand side prepared and the sword at her left side, emitting a sort of lightning, stabbed ahead, becoming ten sword shadows heading towards Long Hao Chens body. [Lightning Thrust], a third step knight skill.

A defense and counter-attacking move.

But the next scene completely dumbfounded Nalan Shu who was standing to the side.

A sound rang and Long Hao Chens full force attacking sword immediately collided against Li Xins sword. Although there was a difference of almost 100 levels between Long Hao Chens and Li Xins spiritual energy, this attack of his was supported by skills and managed to draw force from the momentum. As both swords intersected, the result was surprising: no one had the advantage; it was even Li Xins body that was slightly repelled.

But suddenly, Li Xins [Lightning Cut] arrived before Long Hao Chen. At this moment, Nalan Shu thought about interrupting the fight and Li Xin was already preparing to stop her hand.

But Long Hao Chens right hand that was just repelled by the attack suddenly moved.

A sort of illusion emitted by the sword blasted the area in front of his body and with a loud noise, [Lightning Cut] was completely blocked.

Because she was afraid of harming Long Hao Chen, Li Xin didnt go all out and her attack was not only warded off, but also countered at this moment.

Both sword wielded, one horizontally and one vertically, it was a the sign of a knights skill, [Instant Blast Cross Cut].

There was already nothing left of Li Xins previously amused look. After she had released her [Lightning Cut], she had no power left. In addition to the fact that because she didnt expect at all that Long Hao Chen would be able to block her previous attack, therefore, she didnt prepare any response to this counterattack.

A thin golden light shone from Li Xins body. Her right hand was inserted in the ground and a golden ray suddenly burst out, rising two meter high.

With two Dang sound, Long Hao Chens [Instant Blast Cross Cut] was stopped by a layer of golden light screen and bounced back. At this moment, he also drew back of a few steps, taking a defensive posture. The consumption of the previous succession of attacks wasnt small.

Li Xin shot a gloomy look toward Long Hao Chen who just drew back, OK! Little guy, you compelled Elder Sister to send out the [Heavenly Battle Array] to deal with your attack. Be careful, now Elder Sister is going to attack.

[Heavenly Battle Array], a skill of Retribution Knights of the third step that draws support from the particular holy light of the knight and takes the shape of a layer of light with an effect similar to an all-out defense formed of spiritual energy.

Her foot pushing on the ground, Li Xin jumped, her right hands sword chopping straight towards Long Hao Chen. She is truly somewhat depressed at this moment because she was forced to act shamelessly, using the [Heavenly Battle Array] against Long Hao Chen to keep off his attack, her face looking hectic. The important matter was to reclaim back the face she just lost.

This time, Long Hao Chen didnt strike back. He lift his right hand and, in a split second, he seemed like a venerable sculpture. Even though it was only for a little moment, it made Nalan Shu, to the side, widen his eyes.

With a neat Dang sound, Li Xin was shocked and moved back stupefied.

In fact, her spiritual energy was at least twice Long Hao Chens and plus, she jumped in the air. So even if she showed mercy, her attack force would still be considerable. To Li Xin, Long Hao Chen should be the one to draw back, but in fact, she was the one forced back. Her hand that held the sword was completely paralyzed.

I cant attack, how is that possible!? Li Xin fell down with a gloomy look, it could be seen on her face that she didnt understand Long Hao Chens current defensive posture.

Seeing that Li Xin stopped, Long Hao Chen packed up his own pair of swords. Feeling embarassed to see Li Xins gloomy look, he didnt know what he ought to do at this moment.

Uncle Nalan, please tell me, what is all of that about? Long Hao Chen is only a first step Standard Knight, so how is it possible? How could he be able to repel me?

As she said that, Li Xin saw the expression on Nalan Shus shocked face. This time, he was the one who looked like a sculpture, standing there while showing a stupefied appearance.

Uncle Nalan, what is up with you? Li Xin asked with an expression full of doubts.

[Divine Obstruction]? Little Hao Chen, quickly tell me, was what you just used the [Divine Obstruction]? Nalan Shu made a few steps before arriving in front of Long Hao Chen, his eyes full of impatience and showing a shaken expression.

Li Xins heroic face was immediately struck dumb with amazement, Uncle Nalan, arent you mistaken? That was a Radiant Knights [Divine Obstruction]? It is impossible, absolutely impossible. Werent only Radiant knights able to use the [Divine Obstruction]?

Radiant Knight, the sixth step of the vocation. [Divine Obstruction] was a skill that was their brand mark and also the skill known to cause the most changes to the knights body.
