Divine Seal: I am a saintess of the human race, but also the heir to the Demon God.

Chapter 111 The Bet Begins
Gao Yingjie paused for a second, then turned to look carefully at Bai Ling, who had won first place in the individual competition.

The priest's temple also has the ability to detect other people's spiritual power?
Thinking of this, Gao Yingjie raised an eyebrow and nodded, saying, "What you said is very true. I am indeed a seventh-tier Templar Knight."

Bai Ling smiled faintly, "Team Leader Gao, are our instructors also seventh-tier Templar Knights?"

Gao Yingjie nodded slightly and affirmed, "That's right. In order to ensure the safety of your group, the Alliance has assigned seven seventh-rank guardian knights to serve as the guardian knights of the ten warrior-level demon hunter teams this year."

Bai Ling glanced at everyone's reactions out of the corner of her eye, said "I know," and returned to the group.

At the same time, the slightly tense atmosphere between the two teams instantly relaxed after the members learned about the strength of their team leaders.

Lin Xin was particularly cheerful; he even took out a bottle of fine red wine, intending to share it with everyone.

According to his original plan, the group of demon hunters should have relaxed and had a meal at the most luxurious restaurant in Amy City after they had formed the demon hunter team.

After dinner, everyone soaked in a hot spring together, had a good night's sleep, and then considered how to accumulate merit points the next day to quickly upgrade the Demon Hunter Team's level.

However, the Holy Alliance's latest assessment disrupted his plans.

So Lin Xin decided to find some humor in the midst of hardship and have a good celebration before the team leader started training them.

After Gao Yingjie finished chatting with Bai Ling's team, he turned around and saw Lin Xin, a fire mage who was connected to the Magic Temple and won first place in this year's Magic Temple individual competition, distributing wine glasses to everyone and preparing to pour red wine into them.

"Lin Xin!"

Gao Yingjie's face was serious as he walked up to the group and snatched the red wine from Lin Xin's hand with a wave of his hand.

"Instructor, this is low-alcohol liquor!"

Lin Xin watched helplessly as the instructor stuffed the priceless, non-intoxicating, and highly nourishing magical beast wine into his spatial storage. Immediately, his face turned gaunt, and dark clouds gathered above his head.

Standing next to Lin Xin, Long Haochen, feeling that drinking in front of everyone was a bit too high-profile, gave the instructor an awkward smile and then put away the expensive wine glass in his hand.

The members of Long Haochen's team consciously followed their captain's example and put away the cups they were holding.

When they took it back, they even thoughtfully added a couple of words to make amends for Lin Xin.

Gao Yingjie: ...

Although Cai'er remained silent and did not speak up for Lin Xin, she still promptly handed the cup in her hand to Long Haochen.

Immediately afterwards, Cai'er's seemingly emotionless gray eyes stared at Gao Yingjie, who exuded an imposing aura despite his lack of anger.

Her attitude was clear: if Gao Yingjie, as the team leader, spoke ill of Lin Xin, she would not object, but if he spoke ill of Long Haochen…

There's only one answer: No!

Gao Yingjie glanced at the girl who was radiating murderous intent and suddenly realized that his demon-hunting team was rather bizarre.

In particular, Lin Xin was preparing to celebrate with a glass of red wine before setting off.

To avoid the top two students causing him trouble during his time leading the team.

Gao Yingjie paused for a moment, then said, "Lin Xin, are you dissatisfied?"

Lin Xin, whose name was called out, shrank back and held up one finger. "Team Leader Gao, I'm just slightly dissatisfied. You can pretend you didn't see it. That bottle of wine is yours."

Gao Yingjie laughed heartily and said, "If you're not convinced, then fight me. Whoever wins will have to listen to me."

Upon hearing his words, Bai Ling slowly said, "Team Leader Gao, are you serious?"

Gao Yingjie said calmly, "That's right. Not only that, but in my competition with you, I will not use my flying ability or summon my mount."

Upon hearing that the leader didn't need a mount or the ability to fly, even Chen Ying'er looked at Long Haochen with anticipation.

Long Haochen fell silent, unsure whether he wanted to fight Gao Yingjie.

According to the alliance's rules, they were supposed to obey their leader. After all, he was a seventh-tier guardian knight, while the highest-ranking one on their side was only fifth-tier.

Long Haochen thought for a moment and then said, "Team Leader Gao, isn't it a bit unfair to only fight against us?"

"unfair?"

A smile appeared on Gao Yingjie's resolute face as he replied without hesitation, "You can invite members of another demon-hunting team to join you, but no more than three people."

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Bai Ling's eyes; she knew Gao Yingjie would say that.

After a pause, Gao Yingjie continued, "If you really win, I will become a part of your team and temporarily become one of your guardian knights."

"All the merit points I earn on the battlefield will be equally distributed among your team members."

"It's a word."

This time, it was Long Haochen who spoke first, making the final decision.

Although challenging the seventh rank would be very difficult for them, Gao Yingjie was, after all, a Guardian Knight, not a Punishment Knight.

Furthermore, there was little danger involved, and they didn't even need to summon their mounts, giving them the opportunity to call in outside help.

Without any hesitation, Long Haochen and the others invited Bai Ling to come and help.

They believed that defeating Gao Yingjie together would not be difficult, so they did not invite Han Yu and the others over.

Seeing that Long Haochen and his group were unwilling to fight outnumbered, Gao Yingjie couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

It's important to know that the entry threshold for a seventh-tier Templar Knight is as high as ten thousand spiritual power.

Moreover, he never said that he was just a seventh-tier, first-level knight.

When Yang Zhaowen left, he glanced thoughtfully at Bai Ling, who was smiling, and then suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

When he came to his senses, he watched as Gao Yingjie walked straight to the center of the arena, a shield and a sword appearing in his hands.

A thought flashed through Yang Wenzhao's mind.

Oh no, Long Haochen's team leader is going to be tricked by Bai Ling.

At the same time, Gao Yingjie, who was ready, shouted, "Come on!"

Long Haochen stepped forward and stood at the very front of the team. "Sis, I'm leaving the command to you from now on."

As he spoke, a purple light flashed between Long Haochen's brows, and a three-headed Haoyue appeared.

"no problem."

Having already figured out how to "use" Gao Yingjie, Bai Ling finally laid her cards on the table and stopped pretending.

Wind manipulation, mind control, healing, and enhancement.

In an instant, Bai Ling floated in mid-air, the spiritual energy threads wrapped around her ten fingers having already established a bridge of communication with everyone, and released a combination of priestly and magical skills.

When a series of orders were issued, it took less than five seconds for the outside world to hear them.

Lin Xin unleashed his spiritual power as if it were free, releasing one fire spell after another that was deceptive and could easily harm the enemy.

Wang Yuanyuan and Sima Xian decisively chose to assist captain Long Haochen and stood at the forefront.

Cai'er concealed herself from the very beginning, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.
