Throne of Gods: The mighty power of the heavens, the holy dragon descends upon the world!

Chapter 10: Overwhelming Victory, The Idea of ​​Forming a Team Alone
In this year's Demon Hunter Selection Tournament, the Knight Temple had 114 participants, including two of them who were at the fifth rank or above. They received automatic byes in the first two rounds.

In other words, to select ten people to participate in the final competition, at least five rounds of competition are needed, and additional competitions are required to eliminate some contestants.

After eliminating Knight No. 11 in the third round, Su Zhe's opponent in the fourth round immediately conceded defeat.

As a knight, admitting defeat is shameful, but the person Su Zhe encountered in the fourth round was only a mid-level fourth-tier knight. Whether it was his cultivation or his mount, he was inferior to Knight Eleven. Going up would only result in him getting beaten up, so he simply gave up.

In the final round of the fifth stage, the opponent Su Zhe will face will not easily give up, no matter how unwilling they are.

Upon arriving on the arena, Su Zhe's opponent, Knight Number Eighteen, solemnly performed a knightly salute.

"Please give me more advice."

Su Zhe returned the greeting, drew his longsword and shield, and stared directly at Knight Number Eighteen.

"Summon your mount."

Knight Number Eighteen maintained a serious expression, showing no sign of being looked down upon because Su Zhe did not summon his mount; the other party possessed the necessary strength.

"Thank you."

A level 5 peak magical beast, the Earthshaking Bear, appeared, its massive body lying prone on the ground. Knight Number 18, holding a longsword, sat on the Earthshaking Bear's back.

The people on the platform became interested.

"Can a level 8 Earthshaker Bear reach adulthood? This kid is interesting. He has the potential to reach level 8 in the future. When that happens, our Knight Temple will have another brave vanguard." Someone chuckled.

"It's just a pity that I met Su Zhe. Otherwise, if I had joined the Demon Hunter Group, my growth rate would have been even faster."

Some people sighed, but most were happy, after all, Su Zhe was a genius who was more talented than Knight Number 18.

Below the stage, Knight Number 18 took a deep breath. His cultivation level was higher than that of Number 7, having reached the fourth rank, level eight, making him outstanding in the entire selection competition.

"Holy Sword!"

Knight Number Eighteen raised his longsword high, and golden light shone once more.

The Earth-Shaking Bear responded to the call and charged towards Su Zhe, stepping onto the hard arena.

With a level 8 knight of the fourth tier paired with a peak level 4 magical beast, Su Zhe held his breath and, just in case, cast several buffs on himself.

"Guardianship of Grace".

"Strike Aura".

"A divine halo!"

With the three major buffs applied, Su Zhe felt as if all the power in his body was about to burst forth.

"Holy Sword!"

"The Fire of the Sun!"

Light and fire are inseparable. The fire of the sun is a pure flame of light with an extremely high temperature. It belongs to a secret technique, and Su Zhe was able to learn it through Long Xingyu.

Using the five knight skills in a mixed manner, Knight Number 18, who was charging towards him, felt as if he had entered a golden ocean.

His gaze inadvertently fell upon the longsword in his hand, the radiance of the Holy Sword skill appearing extremely faint under the reflection of the sun's fire.

Knight No. 18 felt like he had encountered a "money-grubbing warrior" from a storybook. Although their levels were similar, the other party had maxed out all the interfaces for increasing combat power.

The same skill, but when the opponent uses it, it has a VIP three-fold boost. How can I fight against that?
As expected, Knight 18 was sent flying by Su Zhe's attack, leaving only the Earth-Shattering Bear standing there in a daze.

I am ready to fight to the death, why does Your Majesty fly away first?

Knight number 18 is unconscious, and the referee declares Su Zhe the winner.

"Terrifying, I still haven't been able to discern Su Zhe's cultivation level."

"To use five skills so quickly, two of which are at the fourth level and three at the fifth level, is not something that can be done by mere proficiency; it also requires a huge amount of spiritual power to support it." "It requires at least a cultivation level of the fifth level, seventh grade or above."

There was a buzz of discussion on the podium; they hadn't expected Su Zhe to give them such a series of surprises.

After the fifth round of competition, the Knights' Temple selected ten members to join the Demon Hunter Order.

In mid-air, Yang Haohan laughed and said, "I can't wait to see the expressions on the faces of the other temples when they see Su Zhe, hahaha."

Han Qian licked her lips. Such a good opportunity to show off was exciting just thinking about it.

Since the Knights' Temple, Warriors' Temple, and Magic Temple had the most participants, their conclusion here essentially means the end for all of them.

The day after tomorrow, Su Zhe arrived at the trial grounds, where an old man was in charge of drawing lots using a huge crystal ball.

Group One: Knight One, Knight Eight, Magic One...

As the list of the first group was revealed, the participants present were all somewhat apprehensive.

The list for this first group is truly terrifying, with Knight Number One and Magic Number One both included, and the others are also quite strong, making it practically a group of death.

"The first group of participants has finished their announcements. Please stand up. Staff will take you to the competition venue to begin the first round of the round-robin tournament."

Su Zhe and the others stood up, and a woman in a blue robe came to his side.

"You must be Knight Number One. It's an honor to meet you."

The woman in the blue robe smiled broadly, yet her body emanated a considerable aura of ice magic.

"Fifth tier, Magic Number One?" Su Zhe raised an eyebrow.

Upon hearing this, the woman in blue was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected Su Zhe's perception to be so sharp that he could detect her cultivation level.

“That’s right, exactly.” The woman in the blue robe readily admitted.

“Our cultivation levels are both among the top in this generation. I’m here to discuss with you whether we should cooperate.”

The woman in the blue robe's words caught Su Zhe's attention.

"Cooperation? How so?" Su Zhe asked curiously.

"Regardless of who gets into the top three, let's choose the other as our teammate, okay?"

A burning light, unlike that of an ice mage, appeared in the blue-robed woman's eyes. She had already inquired about Su Zhe's cultivation level; he was at least a mid-level fifth-tier knight. With such a talented knight, her future safety would be guaranteed.

"Not very good." Su Zhe shook his head, losing interest.

not so good?
The woman in blue was taken aback. "I am a fifth-tier, level-three ice mage. You won't regret choosing me."

At the fifth rank and third level, his cultivation level is the highest in this selection competition, apart from Su Zhe, and even higher than the geniuses of the next competition.

"How old are you this year?" Su Zhe suddenly asked.

The woman in the blue robe frowned, but she knew that Su Zhe wasn't harboring any disrespectful thoughts; he was simply testing whether she was qualified.

"Twenty-four years old," the woman in the blue robe said helplessly. At this age, she was basically just barely making it into the selection competition.

A 24-year-old fifth-level, third-grade student.

Su Zhe shook his head inwardly. His talent was mediocre, and he would only be a burden if he became a teammate.

Su Zhe has no emotional attachment to anyone here. If his talent is not up to par, he would rather apply to have his own team by himself.

Su Zhe can't rely on Long Xingyu forever; he'll eventually have to venture out on his own, and the Demon Hunter Team is the best choice.

Compared to his peers who are likely to become a burden, Su Zhe's biggest purpose in participating in the selection competition was to secure resources from the Demon Hunter Team.
