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

Chapter 15 Champion, Solo Team?
Han Qian's words sparked a flurry of speculation, and Lin Chen almost lost control of his emotions, suddenly standing up from his seat.

"Han Qian, what do you mean by that? Su Zhe isn't just at the fifth rank, could he be at the sixth rank or something? Haha..."

Lin Chen forced a smile, but seeing Han Qian's silent smile, his laughter grew softer and softer.

"Are you serious?"

"That's right," Han Qian readily admitted.

The high-ranking officials of the six great temples exchanged glances, and Ying Suifeng asked in a deep voice, "Han Qian, how old is Su Zhe?"

"eighteen."

"What?!" Ying Suifeng exclaimed.

Ruoshui Shuji and Ren Wokuang exchanged a glance, the meaning in their eyes self-evident.

Shocking, shocking, and more shocking.

Lin Chen sat back down, sighing inwardly. It seemed that the Knights Temple would once again be the champion of this year's selection competition.

In the arena, Li Qingyu rode in shock atop a horse-like magical beast.

Dude, you're killing two level 5 monsters like they're chickens!
Fortunately, he had been riding a horse and had already gone dozens of meters, so Su Zhe couldn't catch up in a short time.

Li Qingyu continued chanting the incantation, and when he glanced back casually, he discovered that a pair of spiritual wings had appeared behind Su Zhe at some point.

Golden wings spanned the arena, their 15-meter wingspan making Su Zhe look like a majestic golden roc.

Li Qingyu nearly popped his eyes out, and the spell he had been chanting stopped abruptly.

Whether the magic is interrupted or not is no longer important; Li Qingyu will have no chance against a sixth-tier opponent.

How could a sixth-tier opponent appear in the selection tournament, you bastard?!

Li Qingyu watched in despair as Su Zhe rapidly approached.

Also, what's with your enormous spiritual power wings? They look even bigger than those of an eighth-tier cultivator.

The distance that a level-three magical beast could cover in a few seconds while running at full speed was covered by Lin Chen's wings flapping in an instant.

He placed the knight's longsword against Li Qingyu's neck.

"Admit defeat."

Li Qingyu gave a wry smile. His robes came with a life-saving skill, but that skill was only a fourth-tier magic, which was useless against Su Zhe.

"I surrender."

Li Qingyu dejectedly recalled his magical beast. In the quarterfinals, if he had won this match, the Spirit Furnace would have been practically his. How could he have run into Su Zhe?

Li Qingyu missed out on the Spirit Furnace, but he was still quite magnanimous, and smiled as he cupped his hands in greeting to Su Zhe.

"I wish you the best of luck in winning the championship."

"Thank you."

Su Zhe returned the greeting with a smile. Although he didn't say much, his smile was full of confidence, which made people admire him.

Back at the players' bench, only three people remained, and Lin Lan was among them.

As long as she doesn't encounter Su Zhe, Lin Lan has a high chance of winning even against other fifth-tier opponents. Knight No. 2 was eliminated by Lin Lan, which made Han Qian feel a bit regretful. Originally, the Knight Temple had a chance to take the top two spots this time.

The semi-finals officially began the following day.

"Knight Number One, against Magic Number One!"

Hearing the referee call out her number, Lin Lan's face turned ugly, and she cursed her bad luck inwardly.

"I abstain."

If Su Zhe hadn't shown his sixth-tier strength in the last match, Lin Lan would have fought tooth and nail to get first place.

But now, Lin Lan only wants to conserve her strength and unleash her full power in the competition for the top three.

Since it concerns the spirit furnace, Lin Lan can put aside her pride.

Lin Lan was eliminated, and the remaining two fought, with Warrior Number One emerging victorious.

Both were at the fourth rank, and their chances of winning against either Su Zhe or Lin Lan were slim, making this battle particularly intense. In the end, Warrior Number One, with the higher cultivation level, emerged victorious.

However, Warrior No. 1 had also burned himself out. He fought to the very last moment with his fourth-tier, ninth-level cultivation, and had exhausted all his spiritual power. Facing Su Zhe, no matter how unwilling he was, he could only admit defeat.

Warrior One's surrender brought the match, which was supposed to continue until the next day, to an early end.

Thus, the Demon Hunter Team Selection Tournament came to a close, with Su Zhe emerging as the champion!

The people on the podium did not expect the final of this selection competition to turn out this way.

Han Qian stood up. "Everyone, please go back and rest first. We will gather the finalists in three days and then regroup them."

After saying that, Han Qian left directly, not giving the other temple members time to ask questions, as he had more important things to do.

In Han Qian's office at the Alliance Executive Government, Su Zhe sat in a chair listening to Han Qian laugh heartily.

"Su Zhe, well done! I knew you could win the championship, but I didn't expect you to win it so easily," Han Qian said with great satisfaction.

"I still want to thank the Temple for the resources and support it has provided over the past ten years," Su Zhe said earnestly. He wasn't ungrateful; he knew very well how much the Temple had given him over those ten years.

Han Qian waved her hand, "Let's not talk about that. Have you decided who you want to team up with in three days?"

After a pause, Han Qian coughed lightly, "This old man knows a little about the methods of drawing lots."

Su Zhe immediately understood, chuckled and shook his head, "Forget it, Knight Commander, I don't have any requirements for my teammates. If possible... I'd like to form a team by myself."

Solo team?

Han Qian frowned. "Su Zhe, I know your strength has surpassed that of this year's contestants by a large margin, but the professional combinations within the Demon Hunter Team will allow you to better unleash your potential."

“But they are too weak.” Su Zhe shook his head slightly and said, “I am already at the sixth level. After forming the Demon Hunter Team, I will definitely be taking on sixth-level missions. A group of fourth-level people following me would probably be no different from sending them to their deaths.”

Han Qian remained silent, unsure of what to say.

"I will hold a meeting to discuss this matter. It's a difficult issue because it involves regulations."

"It's alright. If things don't work out, I'd appreciate it if the Paladin Commander could help me find some good teammates." Su Zhe knew this was a difficult matter, and sighed inwardly, not wanting to put Han Qian in too much of a predicament.

After Han Qian left, Su Zhe pondered his next move.

Ideally, one should form a team alone to enjoy the benefits and resources of a demon hunter, allowing for rapid development as a lone wolf.

If that doesn't work...

Su Zhe could only pray that his teammates, like Long Haochen's teammates, would have opportunities to catch up with his abilities.

Su Zhe shook his head helplessly, regretting that he was not a chosen one and dared not gamble on his teammates' future.

Thinking this through, Su Zhe, unusually, did not meditate but instead fell into a deep sleep.

While Su Zhe was sound asleep, the upper echelons of the Alliance Government were in an uproar.

“I disagree with Su Zhe forming his own team. Putting aside whether the others can keep up with his strength, the Demon Hunter Team was established to allow various professionals to cooperate with each other. He’s already working alone, so why is he even forming a Demon Hunter Team?”

Han Qian proposed Su Zhe's idea, and Ruoshui Cardinal was the first to object.

As a pastor, Cardinal Ruoshui would certainly not allow anyone to become independent. What would a pastor do if everyone became independent?
The others did not share the pastor's concerns, but they all frowned and pondered.

“Su Zhe’s strength is undeniable, but it is precisely because he is strong that we should cooperate with him. Otherwise, how can a guardian knight unleash his full combat power?” Ying Suifeng said, arms crossed.

The others responded enthusiastically, while Han Qian scoffed coldly.

"Who said Su Zhe is a guardian knight, just because he's carrying a shield?"

Han Qian's words stunned everyone present, who were momentarily unsure of their meaning.

"Do you know who Su Zhe's master is?" Han Qian asked in return.

The others exchanged glances and shook their heads, their eyes fixed on Han Qian. They also wanted to know what kind of teacher could produce such a prodigy as Su Zhe.

The selection competition arc is coming to an end, and the following chapters will be even more exciting! Please, dear readers, keep reading! Whether you can recommend my character for advancement depends on your help!
