## Plot

### Disciple

Ye Hua arrives to teach at Hao Yue Hall and makes everyone run 50 laps for not being calm-headed after it is revealed Long Haochen is a Standard Knight. As he is a newcomer Ye Hua states that if he wishes, Haochen can challenge him and if he manages to push him back, Haochen will be exempted from running.

Without exerting much strength Ye Hua easily knocks back Haochen the first two times. However the third time Haochen manages to make Ye Hua to be pushed back by half a step and so Ye Hua admits his defeat. Ye Hua then takes Haochen to Nalan Shu, stating from then on Haochen will be his sole disciple and he will be trained in utter secrecy.

2 years go by with Haochen being constantly trained by Ye Hua. Haochen's natural gift and not feeling any obstruction then breaking through the ranks causes Ye Hua to scream in anger and vent at the heavens.

### Knights' Sacred Mountain

Haochen having reached 1,000 Spiritual Energy, Ye Hua takes him to Knights' Sacred Mountain on his mount the Vibrant Mountain Bird. While on the way Haochen reveals to Ye Hua that his Innate Internal Spiritual Energy is 97 and that he has the Saint Spiritual Stove which shocks Ye Hua extremely and to utterly lose his composure. At the Knights' Sacred Mountain he meets Gui Ying, a former junior of his who he dislikes and his son Gui Wu. After meeting the Elder Guardian, he sees Haochen off and waits for him to return. When Gui Ying proposes a wager on who gets a better mount, Ye Hua changes it to who would get a better position in the upcoming tournament with the loser receiving a slap.

Ye Hua is flabbergasted when Haochen returns without a mount. He then goes along with the Elder Guardian and Haochen to the Transport Array at the summit of the Knights' Sacred Mountain. Following the summoning of a seemingly useless 2nd Step Earthfire Lizard, Ye Hua tries to kill it but is stopped by Haochen, who states that no matter what he will protect the magical beast. As Haochen transfuses his blood into the magical beast causing Haochen to lose a lot of his blood and almost become forever unconscious, Ye Hua becomes very anxious every passing minute. As soon as the process is completed he tries to help Haochen but is stopped by the magical beast who then forms a Blood Contract.
