Chapter 30 Shadow Follows the Wind: You ask me where Cai'er went?
the next day.
A square outside the government building of the Temple Alliance.
There are only a few minutes left before the final group draw begins.
The ten finalists from the six temples arrived here one after another.
The leaders of the six temples had also arrived at the platform above the square; they would serve as the judges for the final match.
The six are Han Qian, the Holy Knight Commander of the Knight Temple; Ying Suifeng, the Deputy Temple Master of the Assassin Temple; Lin Chen, the Deputy Temple Master of the Magic Temple; Ren Wokuang, the Deputy Temple Master of the Warrior Temple; Sanshui, the Deputy Temple Master of the Soul Temple; and Ruoshui, the Deputy Temple Master of the Priest Temple.
The strength of these six people is also very close, all at the peak of the eighth rank.
Looking at the energetic young people entering the arena one after another, Paladin Commander Han Qian smiled with satisfaction and said, "Not bad, this year's students are much more outstanding than in previous years."
"By the way, Ruoshui, I heard that your Priest Temple has a sixth-tier kid this year."
As soon as Han Qian said this, everyone's eyes immediately fell on Ruoshui on the far right.
Facing the gazes of the crowd, Ruoshui smiled faintly: "Lin Feng's talent is indeed quite good."
"That's interesting. This is the first time in all these years of the Demon Hunter Selection Tournament that there has been a sixth-tier contestant. It seems that the first place in this year's Demon Hunter Selection Tournament will go to the Priest Temple." Sanshui, who had white hair and was wearing the Soul Temple's attire, said next to Ruoshui.
"That's not necessarily true. This kid broke through to the sixth rank at the age of twenty-five, which is indeed amazing. But he is, after all, a priest. In terms of individual combat, he is probably no match for an ordinary fifth-rank warrior." At this moment, Ren Wo Kuang, the deputy temple vice-templeman of the warrior wielding a greatsword, spoke up to refute.
"What a waste of such a promising talent! Ruoshui, why don't you consider sending this kid to my Magic Temple? With his extraordinary talent, he's bound to become a forbidden light magic mage in the future!" Lin Chen, the Magic Temple's vice-temple master with green hair, continued nonchalantly, "Maybe he can even compete with that old guy Li Zhengzhi for the position of temple master."
Warrior Temple's Ren Wo Kuang chimed in, "It is indeed a bit of a waste to have such a good seedling. He has awakened the element of light. If he can pursue a combat profession, he will probably have a bright future on the battlefield."
"Old Han, it just so happens that your Knight Temple and Priest Temple both cultivate the Holy Light attribute. In my opinion, why don't you take this little one to the Knight Temple for a while and let her cultivate the way of the knight and the priest at the same time?" Ren Wokuang added, looking at Han Qian beside him.
In response to Ren Wokuang's words, Han Qian said dismissively, "A 25-year-old sixth-tier cultivator is indeed a rare genius, but today our Knight Temple is also full of talented people, so I'm afraid we can't spare the time to cultivate any more."
Although Han Qian didn't say it outright, he was very proud of himself. A 25-year-old with sixth-tier talent was indeed impressive, but his own temple had a 14-year-old fifth-tier talent.
Moreover, his innate spiritual power is as high as 98 points. With such talent, he could probably reach the sixth level in less than three years. How could he possibly be interested in a 25-year-old sixth-level cultivator?
"cut!"
Upon hearing Han Qian's words, the Magic Temple, which had always been at odds with the Knight Temple, said with a hint of disdain, "Hey Han, if you don't like it, just say so. Stop spouting nonsense. I know your Knight Temple produced four Tier 5s this year. If your Knight Temple doesn't want them, my Magic Temple will."
Hearing the discussion, Ruoshui, standing nearby, said somewhat displeased, "I won't trouble you all with the matter of my Priest Temple. If Lin Feng really wants to choose another profession, I naturally won't stop him. Of course, where he goes isn't something you can decide unilaterally!"
"As for whether priests are suitable for combat, you'll see later."
Ruoshui was indeed a little angry. Compared with other temples, the Priest Temple was indeed weaker in combat, but the role of the priest in the team was very important. He could improve the team's survivability, increase damage, and even bring a person who was on the verge of death back from the brink of death.
But these guys gave her the feeling that the priest profession didn't require much talent.
How could Ruoshui not be angry?
The group that had been joking around just moments before suddenly fell silent. After all, if they really angered a cardinal priest at the peak of the eighth rank, it would probably be difficult to ask him for help in the future.
Lin Chen, standing to the side, also stepped in as a peacemaker, saying with a smile, "Ruoshui, you know we didn't mean it that way. Back when we were still a demon hunter group, if it weren't for you, we old guys would have died countless times. This isn't about the matter at hand; if it were an individual battle, it would indeed be a bit disadvantageous for the priest."
Upon hearing this, the others echoed his sentiments.
As for Ruoshui's last words, they pretended not to hear them; they didn't know whether the ranch was suitable for them.
However, at this moment, Ying Suifeng, the deputy hall master of the Assassin's Temple who had been silent all along, with his arms crossed, wearing a black robe and a black veil, suddenly spoke up: "That's not necessarily true. I met that kid Lin Feng a few days ago, but it seems that he has already mastered the domain skill at the sixth level. I'm afraid there are really not many people who can match him in the final of the Demon Hunter Team selection competition."
Moreover, he had personally heard Cai'er say that she was no match for Lin Feng.
He didn't know how strong Lin Feng was, but he knew exactly how strong Cai'er was.
Cai'er's spiritual power has now reached the fifth level, eighth grade, with a total spiritual power exceeding three thousand points.
If it weren't for the sudden appearance of Lin Feng, a sixth-tier expert, the champion of this year's Demon Hunter Team selection competition would undoubtedly have been Cai'er.
Upon hearing Ying Suifeng's words, even Ruoshui was somewhat bewildered. She knew that Lin Feng had cultivated ordinary priest skills and followed the path of a retribution priest, but she had never heard of Lin Feng comprehending a domain skill.
She's been quite busy these past few days, so she hasn't been able to visit Lin Feng much.
Could it be that Lin Feng mastered a domain skill in just a few days?
The other palace masters also took it as a joke and denied it, saying, "Shadow, you've gone too far with this joke. A sixth-level mastery of a domain skill? This is ridiculous! The prerequisite for a domain skill is to comprehend the power of rules. No matter how heaven-defying his talent is, it's impossible for him to comprehend the power of rules at the sixth level."
"If that's really the case, then haven't we old folks lived in vain?"
Faced with everyone's rebuttal, Ying Suifeng did not answer. Instead, Ruoshui asked with some surprise, "Did you go to see Lin Feng for something?"
"What is it?" Ying Suifeng looked at Ruoshui with a hint of anger and said, "I also want to ask you, why did that kid from your Priest Temple named Lin Feng abduct my Assassin Temple's Holy Maiden to a hotel as soon as he arrived in the Holy City!"
"Didn't come home all night?"
"He only went back to the Assassin's Temple once during that time; the rest of the time he went to see that kid. He didn't even go back to the Assassin's Temple last night!"
