Chapter 16: Standard Knight Examination IV

Translator Note: On the last chapter, Li Xin said she couldnt attack (because of the Divine Obstruction), but it could also be understood as I cannot harm him/pierce his defense at all. The way she said it was ambiguous. Well interpret this yourselves in this chapter.

Long Hao Chen replied showing a somewhat confused look: I dont know what [Divine Obstruction] is, Teacher only told me that this was an obstruction skill.

Nalan Shu took a deep breath, calmed himself, and muttered: No mistake, it is without a doubt [Divine Obstruction]. Xin Er (kid Xin), I did not see [Divine Obstruction] only once. Whether they are Retribution Knights or Guardian Knights, once at the level of a Radiant Knight, they will all practice this skill. If it wasnt for the [Divine Obstruction], Hao Chen couldnt possibly have kept off that earlier attack of yours. No wonder, no wonder senior Xing Yu would let him challenge a knight to battle. With the [Divine Obstruction], withstanding a knights attacks for a quarter of an hour is not impossible.

The threshold to the [Divine Obstruction] is, without a doubt, the grade of Radiant Knight, but this is merely our Knight Temples threshold, it is not the threshold for the study of the ability. Provided one has the inborn talent, enough ability, and the necessary reaction speed, a sixth step knight can pass any ability onto him, but this premise needs the authorization of our Temple Knight to be done. There was formerly a great knight who because of his great merits, got the authorization to break this rule and be able to pass them on.

Nalan Shu is an Earth Knight so he knows much more than Li Xin in regard to the skill [Divine Obstruction], but because of that, he became even more shaken.

The [Divine Obstruction] is a skill that can be easily described. It enables one to momentarily transform his defense entirely. Simply said, it causes ones defense to become like an iron rock so that only attacks that exceed the defensive power of the skill can break through it. However, if the attacks use weapons of the same volume and hardness as an iron rock, when attacking, it cannot possibly break this defense.

[Divine Obstruction] is like the process of the transformation of an ore of iron into a bar of iron. It is easily explained, but extremely hard to do because it takes a lot of talent.

Though, if [Divine Obstruction] is trained to a certain level, it can use at least a part of the power of the opponents attack to become its own force and use it for attack as well as defense. Practiced to its utmost potential, [Divine Obstruction]s defensive power is worthy of being called divine.

To possibly break [Divine Obstruction]s defense, one must have at least three times the spiritual force of the user of [Divine Obstruction].

Nalan Master, can we consider that I have passed the examination? Long Hao Chen didnt know what startled these two people before him, and simply asked.

Naturally, you passed. Wait a little, I have to look for the thing senior Xing Yu wanted you to bring back. Nalan Shu turned around and left, but he didnt show signs of having calmed down yet.

Li Xin looked at Long Hao Chen as if he was some kind of monster, Little brother, tell me, what was this skill that you used to repel my [Lightning Stab]?

Long Hao Chen shook his head and answered: No no! I only used pure physical force.

You broke my [Lightning Stab] with only your physical power? Li Xin couldnt help raising her voice. She naturally didnt know that Long Hao Chens attack had been enhanced a lot. Over the last year, the torment in the owl-ants crypt didnt go to waste. In addition to that, he soaked in the hot spring and had his spiritual energys twelve standards enhanced, its impurities dispelled. That year of practice equaled at least three years of practice for an ordinary person.
