Li Boli clearly noticed Ji Ran's Faith as well. She raised an eyebrow and said with a slightly teasing tone:

"Today's Warrior?"

Ji Ran didn't deny it, and nodded indifferently.

[Destiny] has many Divine Authority, but the most dramatic of them Divine Authority is undoubtedly "randomness".

Today's Warrior is the player who received this single "random" blessing.

The number of players who originally chose this profession was very large, which makes sense. The "Warrior of Destiny" is a character with a mysterious and tragic aura, which sounds like a protagonist and is enough to drive many people crazy.

However, six months later, this profession has become one of the least populated.

They are even fewer than the Progeny Priest.

The reason can be summed up in three words: too many people died.

Randomness implies complete uncertainty.

Humans cannot find patterns in endless randomness, and the absence of patterns means there are no stable solutions, which also means that the danger of the Trials increases exponentially.

This profession is called "Today's Warrior" because even they themselves don't know if they will be warriors today.

The Edict of Passage of [Destiny] is to roll the Dice of Destiny, and whether Today's Warrior depends entirely on the number rolled on the Dice.

When the score is 1, the poor soul abandoned by Destiny will lose all Divine Power and become just like an ordinary person, utterly useless.

But when the points are full, the strong ones favored by Destiny will be filled with Divine Power, as strong as a bulldozer, and flatten everything!

So in a sense, the Today's Warrior are indeed in the same boat as Cheng Shi, because they both lie.

They usually hide their points to avoid their teammates disliking them too much.

Of course, this is not necessary when the time is full.

At that time, they will become the big shots who carry their teammates to victory, and can enjoy the admiring gazes of their teammates without any restraint.

Cheng Shi burst into laughter at the thought, and asked mischievously:

"You've cast your ball, haven't you? Were you brave today?"

Ji Ran scored 2076 points. The Dice of Destiny has 14 sides.

To be honest, being able to score 7 or higher is basically at the average player level. You can rely on that, but you can't expect them to carry you to victory.

If you can throw 12 or more, you can be considered half a big leg.

Getting voted up to 14 and having to call someone "Big Daddy" isn't unacceptable.

Cheng Shi just wanted to tease him, but he didn't expect Ji Ran to actually respond.

13.

Cheng Shi's gaze sharpened.

He wasn't lying.

Damn, bro, you didn't receive any weird "edict" today, did you?

Cheng Shi quickly put on Fawning smile and tried to curry favor with his elder brother.

But his older brother ignored him and remained defiant.

Seeing this, another female player spoke up.

"Not bad, fight me. I'm just looking for an opponent."

The woman, wearing a sports bra and hot pants, stretched her arms and legs and introduced herself very enthusiastically:

"Qin Chaoge, Storm's Voice, 2190".

The Storm's Voice, the Singer of War.

His personality Cheng Shi matches Cheng Shi's stereotypical view of Faith in "war," but this profession...

Dude, with those biceps you're so strong, are you just a support player?

You're buffing yourself to initiate a team fight, right?

Although Qin Chaoge may seem like a carefree Believer in war, her observation skills are by no means weak.

There were two players behind her who hadn't spoken yet, and one of them wasn't even there.

But Cheng Shi only had to open his mouth once, and she immediately revealed her Faith without hesitation.

It's important to understand that in this segment of the game, unless you're certain that your opponent isn't present, you'll still try to conceal things to some extent.

At least for now, Cheng Shi hasn't fully grasped the situation. The only thing he's certain of is that the last woman in front of him doesn't seem like the "silent" type.

As for the third person, no one came, so there's no way of knowing.

"I can be your punching bag, but I won't lay a hand on you."

Ji Ran simply sat down on the corridor floor, looked up at Qin Chaoge opposite him, and curled his lip:

"The prerequisite is that there must be a Priest in the team."

See, isn't this a coincidence?

If only the Believer in "Destiny" could get a good beating...

"Cheng Shi, [Sinking], Priest, 2401," someone said in a flash.

"..."

Ji Ran clearly hadn't expected Cheng Shi to be a Priest; in his first impression, this person should have been an Assassin or Hunter.

Because from the very beginning, his gaze never stopped as he observed others.

Ji Ran blinked innocently, then resignedly stood up.

"Come on, let's finish this quickly, but it's agreed that you won't hit my face, and you can't hit my second brother either."

Qin Chaoge smiled and nodded, then threw a punch that sent Ji Ran, Ji Ran had just stood up, flying.

"..."

"..."

"You, Singer?" Cheng Shi's smile was forced.

"Hey handsome, wanna get something a little more exciting?"

Qin Chaoge spoke, he seemed about to punch Cheng Shi, who quickly waved his hand in fright.

If you want to sing, I can listen to a bit, but if you just want to fight...

Then why not give the Believer in "Destiny" two more punches?

The situation in this Trials is different from that in the past.

The teammates' scores were neither high nor low, falling right into Cheng Shi's rank range, which was a good thing, since players in the same rank range were more similar in skill and could cooperate better.

But this time the problem didn't come from his teammates, but from himself.

Before the introduction, when Cheng Shi tried to switch his Faith, he unexpectedly felt a rejection from some of Faith.

Prosperity, Truth, and war—each and every one of them failed.

He didn't have time to think about the reasons; the words were already out, so he could only choose the last remaining option. "Decay."

Fortunately, [Decay] did not refuse.

However, the [Decay] Priest is Blood-Swapping Priest, a class that relies heavily on teammates, and often puts themselves in a severely damaged and weakened state in order to heal their teammates.

Therefore, in order to avoid facing so much pressure, Cheng Shi chose to report a slightly higher score.

In this way, the SS talents that appear after 2400 might become a "golden card" to deter some unscrupulous individuals.

Moreover, Cheng Shi's statement wasn't exactly a lie, since he genuinely possessed SS-level talent.

Then...

Today's Cheng Shi...

Forced to become Believer of "Decay," Decay Priest.

Qin Chaoge's profession and personality were clearly somewhat incompatible, which made everyone's first impression of her a little awkward.

The last woman had been standing An Jing to the side watching everyone until she witnessed the violent outburst of the [War] Believer. Only then did a slight ripple appear on her smiling face, revealing a hint of surprise.

Noticing that everyone's gazes were intentionally or unintentionally glancing at her, she gave a slight bow and spoke very elegantly:

"Hu Xuan, Life Sage, 2433".

The Life Sage, the Mage of [Birth]

Cheng Shi narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself that this woman was indeed a master.

Not only is her Faith completely undisguised, but judging from her attitude, she seems completely unconcerned about whether her Faith is opposed to hers.

Did she discover something?

Or is it that she's used to introducing herself when she's at a high score level, and feels confident doing so?

But the way you're doing it is making me a little dazed, sister.

I did score one point higher than 2400, but I'm not so arrogant as to reveal my own background...

Annoyed as I am, it was still quite unexpected.

He truly hadn't expected that this charming and alluring older woman was actually Believer in "Birth".

His first instinct was that Hu Xuan must be a Filth and Decay person.

"Oh, so you're not someone Sea of Desire of lust?"

Tsk tsk tsk, it's rare to see you guys so open about "Birth".

Qin Chaoge seemed to be able to strike up a conversation with anyone. Her gaze roamed freely over Hu Xuan, as if trying to see through this woman who appeared composed but whose attire was anything but.

Hu Xuan wore a black halter dress with a high slit. The high slit refers not only to the hem of the skirt at the waist and hips, but also to the neckline at the chest.

Moreover, this tight-fitting dress that accentuates all the curves also features some cutouts at the waist and abdomen, making it easy to focus attention at a glance.

It's spicy, really spicy.

Despite feeling Qin Chaoge's rather aggressive gaze, Hu Xuan remained unperturbed.

She smiled gracefully and even changed her posture, standing tall to better showcase her figure.

To be honest, no one at the scene could resist watching.

Cheng Shi's gaze was instantly drawn to it.

The yearning for beautiful things is a human instinct, regardless of color.

Moreover, Hu Xuan is indeed very beautiful.

Every inch of her figure is perfectly proportioned, truly embodying the saying:

Adding even a fraction would make it too long, subtracting even a fraction would make it too short.

Who wouldn't like a sister like that?

cough cough, let me clarify first, I am not...

Seeing everyone staring at her, Hu Xuan smiled again and gracefully twirled around.

Fine, that's me!

Slurp!

"Ah, the Nature Sect."

Li Boli sneered and revealed Hu Xuan's identity.

The Nature Sect is an organization that believes Divinity originates from human nature and advocates for self-liberation and a return to one's true nature.

When the [Faith Game] first arrived, the Nature Sect was a righteous faction mainly composed of players of the [Life] Path of Fate. However, as it absorbed members beyond just one Path of Fate and more players of Faith poured in, the Nature Sect's ideology gradually shifted and Change.

Now, they have gradually reached the critical point between life and Sinking.

Many sect members walk a tightrope between "releasing their true nature" and "indulging in depravity," using this precarious mental discipline to approach what they call "nature."

However, its nature is the same as that of the Rationality Association, both aiming to become gods.

The only difference is that the Rationality Association is more flamboyant, while they are more reserved.

Hu Xuan did not deny it; she smiled and said:

"Sensing life and nurturing nature."

As His Believer, isn't returning to our natural state the only and right path?
