#2755 - Light up
“It's lit! It's lit again!”
In the short span of less than two minutes of conversation between Hein and the Captain of the Guard, the second holy fire on the outer circle lit up on the stone disc.
Immediately, the Divine Punishment Knights, who had been able to maintain silence, couldn't help but engage in quiet conversations.
Divine Punishment!
That kid named Fang Bai must have used the Divine Punishment skill!
He really is an inheritor!
Ten minutes later, as seven holy flames lit up in succession on the stone slab, the Divine Punishment Knights in the plaza outside the hall gradually revealed expressions of admiration.
Although they were only dealing with Tier 1 demons, each demon possessed special abilities of immortal rebirth and various means. Fang Heng's strength was evident in his ability to handle them in such a short time.
After all, everyone in the Divine Punishment Knights had learned the Divine Punishment skill and was well aware of its flaws.
The Divine Punishment skill was very effective against demons, but it had two major weaknesses.
First, it required finding the enemy's flaw and seizing their Tianling acupoint to cast the spell.
Second, the Divine Punishment skill consumed a great deal of mental energy.
Especially when using the Divine Punishment skill against high-level demons, the mental energy consumption would greatly increase.
Using the skill continuously and intensely like Fang Heng would likely lead to a state of exhaustion quickly, and he would suffer considerable backlash at that time.
In fact, although the Divine Punishment Knights had the ability to completely cleanse the suppressed demons of Tier 5 and below through the Divine Punishment ability, the consumption was a major problem for them.
Sure enough, more than ten minutes later.
As the twelfth holy flame ignited on the circular stone slab, the slab fell into a brief pause.
Is it over?
Hein looked up at the stone slab, feeling slightly disappointed in his heart.
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
For ordinary people, Fang Heng had already done very well, but as the heir to the Great Sage of Croisos, what Fang Heng had achieved so far was far from enough.
Perhaps he was too impatient.
How could an inheritor compare to a Great Sage?
Hein wondered if he should give Fang Bai a chance?
With more time to nurture him, perhaps he could…
Huh?
Hein's eyes lit up.
It's lit again!
This time it's different.
The lit holy fire corresponds to the inner circle.
It means that Fang Heng has just successfully purified a Tier 2 demon!
The corners of Hein's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly, revealing a hint of appreciation.
Not bad.
This is more like it.
The trial is to test the strongest state one can reach.
What's the point of always dealing with some odds and ends on the outermost layer?
Upon seeing this, the Divine Punishment Knights behind him once again whispered to each other.
Until the holy fire representing the Tier 3 demon lit up on the stone wheel.
A breakthrough!
The Tier 3 demon was already an insurmountable stage for ordinary Divine Punishment Knight members, and complete Divine Punishment purification could only be achieved with the cooperation of multiple people.
In fact, in the past, the trials opened by the Demon Suppression Temple were conducted in teams, and most teams ended hastily after reaching Tier 3.
Unexpectedly, Fang Heng actually single-handedly fought directly to the third stage.
Interesting!
Hein stared at the stone slab outside the temple, nodding secretly in his heart.
“Fang Bai…”
If he remembered correctly, that's what he was called.
This kid is pretty good.
Hein muttered to himself, secretly remembering Fang Heng's name in his heart.
At this time, including Hein, everyone in the Divine Punishment Knights present no longer had any doubt that Fang Heng was the inheritor of Croisos.
Now it depends on how many Tier 3 demons he can deal with.
If he can continuously deal with more than three…
He can be a key focus for cultivation!
Hein was thinking when he suddenly heard the soldiers of the Knights behind him whispering again.
Huh?
What?
Hein looked towards the stone slab above the Demon Suppression Temple.
Tier 4?
A new holy fire lit up in the hole belonging to the Tier 4 demon in the inner circle!
That kid actually dealt with a Tier 4 demon?
Hein was a little surprised.
Tier 4 demons required the cooperation of their entire team to solve.
Fang Heng can handle it alone?
Hein's expression became serious.
He suddenly began to realize that perhaps Fang Heng's power was stronger than he had expected.
The inheritor of Lord Croisos…
Hein took a deep breath, and a long-lost fighting spirit appeared in his eyes.
Perhaps it was fate that he would one day meet the inheritor of Lord Croisos.
Very well.
In that case, from now on, he will demand Fang Heng as the inheritor of Croisos and strive to cultivate him into the true successor of Croisos.
The Holy Court guard who had followed Fang Heng into the Misty God Pillar suddenly noticed a smile on the corner of Commander Hein's mouth, and couldn't help but shudder.
It's really strange.
Commander Hein, who was usually unsmiling and even dared to confront the Great Sage in person, actually smiled?
How terrifying.
As the guard was thinking, he suddenly saw the holy fire in the inner layer of the stone slab reappear.
Huh?
Not the fourth layer?
But the fifth layer?
The guard rubbed his eyes, wondering if he had seen it wrong.
It's really the fifth layer!
A look of surprise could not help but appear in Hein's eyes.
The demon sealed at the 12 o'clock position.
The Deep Sea Demoness.
Hein remembered it very clearly.
One day 33 years ago, Hein led the entire team to the Demon Suppression Temple to completely seal the Tier 5 Deep Sea Demoness.
In the end, they had to give up because their mental strength was exhausted.
The mission ended in failure.
Fang Bai can actually do this alone?
Behind him, the Divine Punishment Knight squad couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Regarding the matter of Fang Heng being the inheritor of Divine Punishment, at least no one within the entire Divine Punishment Knights doubted it anymore.
Fang Heng's trial this time was too good.
So good that it far exceeded their expectations.
However, Hein was now faintly worried about Fang Heng.
Fang Bai is now also approaching his limit.
Using Divine Punishment continuously to deal with high-level demons in such a short period of time consumes a great deal of energy and may even cause irreversible damage to the body if he continues to force himself.
Hein raised his head.
There was no sign of the temple door opening.
It seems Fang Heng has no intention of stopping.
Hein was already a little regretful, wondering if he had said things too harshly before, and what if Fang Heng did something beyond his ability and caused an accident…
Hein couldn't help but secretly pray in his heart: “Fang Bai, please don't push yourself too hard…”
