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

Chapter 74 Fist Suppresses the Mighty Pass
The one who broke through to the sixth rank was Cai'er. Her killing intent was so distinctive, and only she possessed that dark gray spiritual power.

Having broken through just before the selection competition began, there are likely to be three people who will secure a spot in Dream Paradise.

The following day, the largest trial ground was located beneath the main shrine of the priests.

There were 211 eligible demon hunters, but only 150 people ultimately signed up.

Let's take a chance. What if we're lucky and make it into the top ten?

One hundred and fifty people sounds like a lot, but at most you only need to win four consecutive games to enter the top ten. If you're lucky, you might actually make it to the next round.

There was no podium in this training ground; the high-ranking officials and leaders could only sit in the front row.

Once most of the participants had arrived, Priest Ling Xiao, the Temple Master, walked into the arena:

"Fellow demon hunters of the Demon Hunter Corps, you all already know the details, so I won't go into them again! I'll just emphasize one point: you are all saviors of Zhennan Pass. You recently completed a major battle, and for the past month, you have been the mainstay of Zhennan Pass's defense. On behalf of the Priest Temple and Zhennan Pass, I thank you."

Despite Ling Xiao's stern face, his demeanor was enough to impress everyone, considering his status as a ninth-tier expert and the position of the Temple Master of the Priest Temple.
Ling Xiao continued, "The previous battle nearly dealt a devastating blow to our Zhennan Pass. You are the saviors of Zhennan Pass, and what about each other? You are comrades-in-arms, so I don't want any casualties in today's selection competition!!"

After Ling Xiao finished speaking, he had the 150 people line up to draw lots, with consecutive numbers for each round of the battle!
The referee was none other than a paladin with the strength of an eighth-tier warrior.

Wen Tai and the other six were quite lucky; they didn't encounter each other in the first round.

The first of the seven to step onto the field was Chen Ying'er, the little girl with her pigtails swinging as she skipped and hopped onto the trial ground.

Although this little girl doesn't stand out much in the 21st Demon Hunter Squad, her growth is very obvious when she's taken out on her own!

The water elemental mage on the other side couldn't figure out Chen Ying'er's moves at all, and was quite helpless as Mai Dou got close to him, then transformed into a bloodthirsty berserker and sent the water elemental mage away.

There was also a little incident.

The paladin, acting as the referee, mistakenly believed that the bloodthirsty monster McDull had transformed into was a real demon, and almost stabbed the little fat pig to death with his sword!
Before the paladin could even ask, Chen Ying'er erupted like a little chili pepper.

"What are you doing? You attacked without even knowing what you're doing? Can you afford to pay for hurting my McDull? Do you know how important McDull is to me? It's my summoned beast. It's one thing to be ignorant, but to be so reckless is that too. Haven't you ever seen a magical beast that can transform? You're so stupid!"

Her voice was very loud, and the demon hunters in the rest area could hear it clearly.

A burst of laughter immediately erupted. This girl was too fierce; she even dared to curse an eighth-tier paladin. The word "fierce" doesn't even begin to describe her.

The paladin was also aggrieved; who told this little fat pig to imitate the demons?

And I've never actually seen a magical beast that can transform.

Han Qian looked at his dejected subordinate and suppressed a laugh, saying, "Alright, let's continue the competition. This little girl has won this round."

He knew Chen Ying'er's background.

That's Grandma Sanshui's granddaughter. Given Sanshui's personality, even he and Ying Suifeng are afraid of her. It's no wonder that her granddaughter has a bad temper.

However, the performance of Little Pig McDull surprised the other demon hunters. Putting aside his bizarre transformation ability, his ability to dodge an attack from an eighth-tier paladin was quite intriguing.

After Chen Ying'er sat down, Yang Wenzhao's mouth dropped open. Was this really the Ying'er he knew best?

The competition continued, and Lin Xin was the second member of the seven-person team to take the stage.

It's really strange that the last two members of the seven-person group actually appeared first!

Although he's said to be at the bottom, he's actually only at the bottom of the seven-person group; he's still a highly skilled player even on the outside.

He encountered a formidable sixth-tier wind-elemental warrior, but thanks to Lin Xin's superb magical skills, he ultimately won the battle. Although he didn't possess offensive magic, his staff was engraved with offensive spells.

After a few more matches, it was finally Wen Tai's turn.

Wen Tai removed his pristine white fox fur cloak and stepped onto the training ground wearing only a simple, fitted outfit.

Wen Tai had no weapons in his hands, which puzzled everyone. Where did this formidable man come from?!
Wen Tai's opponent was a knight.

"Both parties, state your names and professions," the referee asked, as is customary.

"Priest!"

"knight!"

"Alright, the knight and the priest will compete, with each side standing fifty meters apart. The match begins!"

Wen Tai stood fifty meters away. After the match started, he did not make a move immediately. Instead, he waved to the knight in the distance, signaling him to attack first.

The knight was dumbfounded. Are priests all this arrogant now?
They're attacking from a distance, yet they dare to let the melee unit get the first move.

The knight's mount was a red-armored earth dragon, which was quite large and powerful, belonging to the sixth level of magical beasts.

Instead of letting Austin show himself, Wen Tai calmly extended a hand, with viscous golden light drooping from his fingertips. This crystal-clear golden light was all transformed from light elements.

The knight mounted the Crimson Armored Earth Dragon and charged at Wen Tai.

The earth trembled as the red-armored earth dragon trodden upon it, each step producing a resounding sound, as if a mountain were rapidly approaching.

"Golden Light Divine Mantra!"

Wen Tai's expression was perfectly normal. He raised his hand, which was condensed with golden light, and swiftly covered the face of the Crimson Armored Earth Dragon.

He actually thought he could stop the rampaging red-armored earth dragon with his own strength!!!
That's a bit too unrealistic.

The demon hunters in the rest area all stared wide-eyed. What a reckless kid! Putting aside his strength, his courage and boldness alone surpassed theirs.

My spirit can uproot mountains and my strength can cover the world, but the times are against me and my steed will not go!
"Stop right there!!!"

Wen Tai's pupils gleamed, his voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, and golden light enveloped his entire body as he blocked the Crimson Armored Earth Dragon like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

His legs were as straight as pine trees, and even when the floor beneath his feet cracked, he did not move an inch.

He actually managed to stop the massive, red-armored earth dragon!

The knights atop the earth dragon were dumbfounded. Even demons of the same level might not be able to withstand the charge of the crimson-armored earth dragon without flinching, yet this priest had done it?!

No... is this even human?

Wen Tai didn't speak, slowly retracted his fist, and then gathered his strength to unleash a powerful punch!
"boom--"

A loud bang echoed across the training ground. Wen Tai's punch even produced a sonic boom, and shimmering golden light rippled outwards. The Crimson Armored Earth Dragon and the knight on its back were blasted away!

Cavaliers: I concede—
