Divine Seal: God Descends, Holy Priest Riding a Black Dragon

Chapter 10: The Final Sixteen of the Ten Directions of Annihilation

The Nameless Evil Bow is a spirit-grade weapon that can grow alongside its owner; in gaming terms, it's a growth-type equipment.

The weapon will always be bound to the protagonist and will upgrade along with the protagonist.

Wen Tai named the nameless evil bow "Ten Directions of Annihilation". By infusing it with spiritual power and drawing the bowstring, a cursed arrow can be condensed. The power of the cursed arrow is related to the spiritual power infused into it.

The core secret technique of the Ten Directions Annihilation is the [Soul-Destroying Arrow], an extremely domineering archery technique that, upon hitting the target, causes the body to disintegrate and the soul to vanish.

Wen Tai originally wanted to hear more about the secrets of ancient times, but Qi Daochun glanced down at him and said, "If you want to miss the round of 16 finals, I can tell you more stories about the glorious era."

"what?"

Wen Tai never expected that the story of the chess game would happen to him. He felt that he had only been in the Elf Forest for a short time. How could time have passed so quickly!
Qi Daochun smiled and saw Wen Tai off from the Elf Forest. He felt a gentle yet powerful force coming from behind, and Wen Tai instantly appeared in the Hexagram Hall.

There was no one else in the hall, so Wen Tai didn't linger and walked back the way he came.

The guards outside the treasure pavilion had changed to two middle-aged men; the two old men, No-Brain and Unhappy, were nowhere to be seen.

There must have been something to do that day, which is why two peerless experts were sent to guard the treasure pavilion!
Back at the priest's temple, before she could even settle in, Liu Mengli pushed open Wen Tai's door.

Captain, requesting permission to land!
For some reason, this sentence popped into Wen Tai's mind.

Fortunately, Wen Tai wasn't the captain; he was feeding Austin magic cores when Liu Mengli suddenly walked in, which startled him.

So many promising young captains have perished because of the problem of not locking the door. It seems that Austin will have to block the door during future training sessions.

"Xiao Bao, hey, Austin's awake!" Liu Mengli exclaimed with delight upon seeing Austin, who looked like a big black dog.

"Hmm, Mom, why didn't you knock before coming in?" Wen Tai said with a hint of complaint.

“I’m your mother, why are you knocking?” Liu Mengli tapped Wen Tai’s head and said, “I’m relieved to see Austin wake up. Some unforeseen things happened at Zhennan Pass, and they need me more there, so I can’t accompany you to the Demon Hunter selection.”

Zhennan Pass is one of the six passes of the Demon-Suppressing Pass, located in the southern part of the Temple Alliance, where the main temple of the Priest Temple is located.

Wen Tai was taken aback, then asked, "What happened at Zhennan Pass?"

Liu Mengli said solemnly, "This is a secret of the Alliance. In any case, I will head to Zhennan Pass first thing tomorrow morning. Cardinal Ruoshui is here in the Holy City. Cardinal Ruoshui is my teacher. If you need help, you can go to her!"

the next day.

When Wen Tai got up, he learned that Liu Mengli had already set off for Zhennan Pass with the Holy City's team. The situation was so serious; could it be that a certain demon god had personally arrived?
He finished his breakfast in the priest's temple and then headed towards the Holy Alliance's Great Trial Grounds.

Wen Tai appeared to be taking his time, but in reality, he was secretly using the wind rails to accelerate, and soon he arrived at the Holy Alliance Grand Trial Grounds.

The final sixteen contestants will compete in the Knight's Trial Arena, and all the top sixty participants can watch. Wen Tai is probably the only priest among the final sixteen.

At the entrance, Wen Tai ran into Long Haochen again, along with other people.

Wen Tai greeted him, saying, "Good morning, Hao Chen."

"Good morning... Wen Tai! You've also made it to the top 16?" Long Haochen was genuinely shocked this time.

He remembered that Wen Tai was a pastor. How could a pastor make it into the top sixteen? His luck was just too good.

Wen Tai patted Long Haochen on the shoulder and said, "Just lucky, just lucky." The other two were Yang Wenzhao and Huang Yi, both of whom had fought against Long Haochen.

Before the group could exchange more than a few words, two more girls stormed over angrily.

"Hmph! Shameless." One of the girls, Nai Zi, was small but spoke arrogantly.

The young prince's grandmother strode up to Long Haochen and clenched her fists: "What do you mean? Are you looking down on me? Why didn't you come to the last match?"

Long Haochen said with a wry smile, "Of course not, I just happened to have something to do that day. I apologize to you."

The little prince's expression softened a bit, but before he could speak again, he was pulled away by the hand by another girl carrying a giant shield.

Wen Tai wasted no time and entered the Great Trial Grounds first.

He was wondering which Saint Cloth he should wear today if he encountered a knight or warrior.

Each of the twelve Zodiac Cloths is a super artifact, but they differ in their focus and the abilities they inherit.

Different Cloths grant Ventae different powers. For example, the Crystal Wall of the Aries Gold Cloth is a defensive power unique to Aries.

The sixteen strong contenders who participated in the elimination rounds sat in the front of the audience. Wen Tai noticed that the stage was crowded with people, and there were undoubtedly many high-ranking members of the Holy Temple present.

A high-ranking female executive on the podium, exuding an air of authority, suddenly remarked with surprise, "Interesting. There's actually a little guy from the Temple Priest in this year's Round of 16."

The speaker was Sanshui, the deputy temple master of the Soul Temple. Her words were not meant to discriminate against priests, but rather to point out that priests were indeed at a disadvantage in such individual competitions!
Han Qian, Lin Chen, Ren Wokuang and the others immediately looked over and then spotted Wen Tai, the only one among the sixteen wearing a priest's white robe.

"It's actually this kid!" Han Qian was somewhat surprised.

"Isn't this a promising talent for the Magic Temple?" Lin Chen said with envy.

Ruoshui rolled her eyes: "So it's okay for your temple to have geniuses, but not our priest temple?"

"Alright, stop chatting and let's get started," Ying Suifeng said, pursing his lips.

Wen Tai had defeated Sheng Cai'er in the group stage, and Ying Suifeng had never had a good impression of anyone who defeated Cai'er.

Han Qian nodded, then walked to the front of the platform. "Everyone, welcome to the Knight's Trial Grounds."

Han Qian doesn't need any amplification equipment, but everyone in the room can hear his voice.

"First of all, I want to congratulate the top sixteen participants. Making it into the top sixteen means that you can choose a secret technique that suits you from the treasure vaults of your respective temples. The rewards will increase each time you pass an elimination round..."

"Now, please have the top sixteen contestants enter the room for the draw."

The top sixteen contestants entered the trial arena one after another. Wen Tai stood out among them, being the only representative of the Priest Temple.

Han Qian released a familiar-looking ball of light, which suddenly expanded in the air and gradually turned into a huge golden halo, completely enveloping all sixteen contestants.

"Place one hand on the halo; the draw is about to begin. Don't worry, the first-place winner in each group will only be drawn with the second-place winner from another group," Han Qian said.
