Chapter 259 - 128: 6th Rank Glorious Class Knight_2
Of course, for some people, the selection within this temple is basically just a formality. For instance, this was the case with Ling Menglu in the Priests Temple.
In the battle between priests, it’s more about endurance as the offensive ability of priests isn’t praiseworthy. The two competitors Ling Menglu faced in the first two rounds were students from the Main Temple Academy, unaware of her formidable strength. They struggled to resist, only to be quickly defeated by the Divine Hammer. In the third round, Ling Menglu’s opponent was a second-year priest student from the Spirit Furnace Academy. Seeing that he drew against the Goddess herself, he immediately conceded.
A desperate fight? What’s the point? She is someone who has even cast a forbidden spell. Even though it occurred in a virtual world, who knew it was a virtual world at the time? After that battle, Ling Menglu was genuinely exalted among the lower-grade students of the Spirit Furnace Academy, symbolically saving all their lives. Moreover, how can one compare with her strength? So, he promptly forfeit, making Ling Menglu the first candidate from the Priests Temple to join the demon hunting team.
The situation was similar for Zisang Liuying, the Elements Saintess, in the Magic Temple. Her strength was overwhelming. After she convincingly defeated her opponent in the first round, the subsequent matches lacked any suspense. Unluckily, she drew a 6th Rank magic instructor from the Main Temple Academy in the first round and made a name for herself in that battle. Moreover, she completely dominated the opponent in the entire process, leaving no chance for retaliation. Such a dominating strength is extraordinary.
Tang Leiguang, Chu Yu, and Cai Caijuan were in similar circumstances. As the most outstanding prodigies of the temple, although they were only sixteen to seventeen years old, the brilliance they exhibited in such peer-level battles completely outshined the others.
In the Knights Temple, there were 33 students entering the third round. Perhaps it was luck from Long Kongkong praying to the heavens yesterday, amazingly, he drew the only bye, meaning he didn’t have to compete in the third round, but must participate in the fourth round supplementary match to enter the top ten.
This ensured he would only need to fight three battles, which was better than those needing to fight four times. Moreover, the opponent in the supplementary match wouldn’t be any of the strongest competitors. At the same time, he wouldn’t have to face his own brother.
On the contrary, Long Dangdang was not so lucky. When he saw his opponent on the battlefield, his eyes became instantly dull because his opponent was one of the three 6th Rank Glorious Class knights from the Main Temple Academy.
In other words, if he couldn’t overcome this obstacle, his selection for the demon hunting team would end here.
