Wen Yubai did not forget that one of his missions was to never be killed by any creature other than Lovin.

If those three gods discovered that the one they admired, Lovin, was so interested in them, wouldn't they become enraged and kill them on a whim?

Although the gods of this world are silent, Wen Yubai has never underestimated their power.

He had to find a way to dampen Lovey's interest.

Wen Yubai composed himself and adopted a businesslike tone, as if he were dutifully advising a lost chosen one of God.

"Lovin, you are a chosen one, favored by the gods, while I am a holy son, destined to serve the gods with all my heart. We should keep our distance from each other."

After hearing this, Lorvyn's smile deepened.

"Serving the gods wholeheartedly?"

His tone was slow and deliberate, as if he were carefully savoring those words.

It was hard to tell whether his tone was playful or something else.

The way it came out of Lovin's mouth had an indescribable strangeness to it.

Wen Yubai felt a chill run down his spine. He had said everything he could, and he didn't want to talk anymore.

"Since you like this room, you can continue sleeping. Tomorrow I will have the high priest assign this room to you."

After saying that, he turned and left quickly, as if afraid that the people behind him would catch up.

Loven watched his figure disappear through the doorway and chuckled softly.

He raised the hand that had gripped Wen Yubai's wrist and gently stroked it, as if savoring the feeling from just now.

Wen Yubai had not yet found a suitable time to discuss the matter of the luminous mine with the High Priest.

Because the High Priest was so busy, he and Dickens wished they could be split into four parts, working on the bodybuilding competition from morning till night.

Wen Yubai also wanted to help but made things worse, but Dickens refused, saying that the Holy Son was exhausted and should rest.

Amidst these intensive preparations, the first "Bright Cup" Bodybuilding Competition of Suncity kicked off.

The competition covers multiple events, from powerlifting to weightlifting, from individual physical demonstrations to team collaboration challenges, and more.

The scoring is also based on a comprehensive consideration of multiple dimensions: muscle definition, strength performance, body coordination, endurance, as well as the typhoon and atmosphere at the scene, each with clear scoring standards.

The judging panel consisted of several bishops from the temple and several respected old nobles from Sun City.

The scoring system employs a dual-track approach, involving both a judging panel and the audience, in order to ensure fairness and impartiality.

During this period, some people tried to bribe the temple, hoping that their family members could win an award, and they secretly sent a lot of benefits.

Faced with such temptation, the high priest righteously and firmly refused.

If even the competitions held by the temple cannot be fair, then the temple's credibility is in question.

The host was Bishop Dickens. The High Priest originally wanted the Son of God to take the stage himself, as the Son of God's image, standing on the stage, would be the best representation of the temple.

But Wen Yubai resolutely refused; he couldn't bring himself to do anything that would help him build a good reputation.

The high priest thought about it and agreed. The Holy Son was aloof by nature, and it was indeed inappropriate to have him stand on the stage to liven up the atmosphere.

It would be more appropriate to leave this kind of hosting to the enthusiastic Dickens.

In addition, seeing the unprecedented popularity of Sun City, the High Priest decided to add another prize in the final round: the winner will receive the blessing of God's chosen ones and the Son of God.

Since Wen Yubai had refused the High Priest's first request, he felt embarrassed to refuse twice in a row, so he agreed.

The temple's blessing is quite simple: it involves releasing a gentle light magic spell, sprinkling it on everyone, and saying a word of blessing.

However, not all light magic users are qualified to initiate a blessing ceremony; only bishops, holy sons, and high priests can initiate a formal blessing ceremony.

Being able to receive the blessings of both God's favorites and the Son of God is indeed something to be proud of for a lifetime.

Anyway, this bodybuilding competition is beyond saving. The high priest has already made all the money, so one more blessing won't make much difference.

On the day of the competition, Qiguang Square was packed with people, stretching as far as the eye could see.

The audience members took their seats according to the areas indicated on their tickets. The commoners' area in the outer field was packed, while the aristocratic area in the inner field was filled with elegant ladies, whose parasols formed a colorful wave.

The stage was decorated in the style of the temple, with white and gold silk hanging down from above, and wreaths made of fresh flowers and evergreen leaves adorning the judges' seats.

The backdrop is the statue of the God of Light not far away. The statue of the god, which overlooks the entire square, is currently facing the sunlight, and the gold paint on the scepter reflects a dazzling light.

The layout of the entire competition area is not much different from that of previous events, since the layout of Qiguang Square is fixed.

The only significant difference is in the surrounding fences and stands. What were once empty spaces are now filled with various exquisite paintings.

These gifts, exquisitely and subtly designed, blend seamlessly into the temple's atmosphere while perfectly showcasing the unique characteristics of each sponsor, including clothing brands, jewelry stores, and fine wine and food establishments…

Wen Yubai even saw the magic wand GG from the Magic Association.

What does a magic wand have to do with bodybuilding competitions? You're just trying to get involved, aren't you?

Wen Yubai simply couldn't bear to look at these GG cards. Every single one of them represented real money that the High Priest had pulled from the sponsors' pockets.

Of course, the High Priest also spent a lot of money on this bodybuilding competition. For example, to provide a better viewing experience, the High Priest spent a huge sum of money to purchase a newly developed magical device from the Magic Association.

A giant magic crystal ball floated directly above the arena, and through a sophisticated magic array, it magnified the arena footage in real time and projected it onto huge temporary screens erected on both sides of the square, allowing spectators in the back rows to clearly see the competition.

Although this world has underdeveloped technology and scarce magical elements, Wen Yubai has to admit that the magicians of this world seem to have applied technology to the magic tree, always managing to invent something truly amazing.

Wen Yubai watched the competition with great interest. Although it was called a bodybuilding competition, it was not just about showing muscle lines, but a comprehensive competition that combined strength and beauty.

Dickens' hosting style started off somewhat reserved, but he soon let loose completely, spouting witty remarks that drew constant laughter from the audience.

After several events, it was time for the intermission.

"Dear guests, please welcome the Magic Fashion Show, presented jointly by the Magic Association and the sponsors of this year's competition! Please take a short break, the excitement is about to begin!"

The music switched to a lively tune, and a group of models filed out from the side of the stage. A group of people dressed in all sorts of clothing, from gorgeous hand-embroidered gowns to well-fitting hunting suits for easy movement, and loose and casual loungewear...

Everyone had carefully chosen a magic wand.

The lead model held a rose gold cane. As she walked to the front of the stage, she made a beautiful swinging motion, scattering a string of golden and red sparkles.

The audience below immediately erupted in gasps of amazement.

Some children even rode on their fathers' shoulders, their glittering wands shrilly as they cried out, "I want that!"

The nobles inside were whispering amongst themselves, already inquiring about which series of magic wands these were from the Magic Association and whether they could try them out in the store.

Wen Yubai was drinking water at the time and almost choked when he saw this scene.
