"It's Brother Shen Yuan!"
No one dared to venture outside the hall easily, but the entire Heaven and Earth Hall was surrounded by jade images of the Four Saints Palace. Everyone could see the location of the Four Saints Palace on the jade, and even figures floated in the air above the soaring light.
Upon closer inspection, everyone recognized the person floating in the air.
Chen Ying floated above the Azure Dragon Hall, while White Plain Black Tortoise Hall. Most of the sorcerers pondered this result, but Chen Qing and Kagura expected it.
This trial should be called the Four Spirits Celestial Master Trial. In essence, it is about selecting the most suitable host for the Four Spirits. Those who carry the Four Saints Spell will have an advantage, but if they are defeated in the competition, they will be abandoned instantly, allowing the Four Spirits to choose a better spiritual body.
According to predictions, the person who directly defeats the Four Spirits Sorcerers will have a greater chance of gaining the favor of the Four Saints.
Chen Ying retained her identity as Azure Dragon Sorcerer, while White Plain, with her rich combat experience and outstanding talent, was chosen by the Black Tortoise Spirit and became one of the Four Saints!
But the other two were somewhat unexpected.
First, floating above the Vermilion Bird Palace, was none other than the defeated Fei Jun.
This was something Chen Qing hadn't expected. She thought she would be lucky to save her life, but the Vermilion Bird Spirit ultimately chose Fei Jun.
However, upon closer reflection, it does seem to make sense.
Fei Jun's aptitude is unique. He has combined the Golden Crow Bloodline with the Vermilion Bird Technique. The two have Fusion for decades and are now completely compatible. Such a physique is probably unprecedented in history, and may even allow the Vermilion Bird to reach a higher level!
Although Fei Jun was defeated, it was not because of a lack of ability, but because he voluntarily surrendered. Vermilion Bird is not a mindless machine that only cares about winning or losing. After careful consideration, she still chose Fei Jun, which was a wise move. If it were Chen Qing herself, she would probably have made the same choice.
But Chen Qing never expected the last one.
Above the White Tiger Palace, floating in the air, was none other than Shen Yuan.
Although Shen Yuan defeated Zhang Zhiyun of the Azure Dragon Palace, his own talent was actually inferior to Zhang Zhiyun's. It can only be said that Shen Yuan was indeed very good at utilizing his abilities; he was the kind of practical genius with remarkable combat talent. But would that make the White Tiger take notice?
" White Tiger is the most warlike of the Four Saints." Kagura's soft voice rang out behind Chen Qing: " Shen Yuan defeated the strong with the weak, and his control over details was extremely precise. Even the battle maniacs in my guild probably didn't perform as well as him. It's normal that he was chosen."
"Yeah?"
Chen Qing was taken aback, looking at Shen Yuan floating in the air with a complicated expression.
This kid... how could he get such high praise?
To be honest, he'd always had a rather awkward impression of this guy. At first, he was an arrogant scholar, a scion of a wealthy family, who came to boss him around with his connections. He was clearly a spoiled brat who deserved to be beaten.
Later, his entire character was reversed, becoming a loyal, devoted, and scholarly person—a significant reversal. Now, he's also been given a combat talent as a character trait.
Damn, before I knew it, they were all main characters.
I wonder what this kid is thinking now?
--
At this moment, Shen Yuan, who was floating in the air, was also filled with complex emotions. He could feel that the enormous White Tiger Spirit in the stars had taken a liking to him. While he was shocked, he also felt a little strange.
Back then, I desperately sought a skill aptitude to prove myself to my mother, but to no avail. I struggled for over a decade, enduring countless scornful looks at the Yin-Yang Academy, only to be eliminated in the end. I had no choice but to give up and choose another path.
Even now, he cannot be considered a true sorcerer, but rather a scholar.
But he never expected that the top-tier spell that countless people dream of would fall into his lap after he gave up on becoming a true sorcerer.
This is truly a case of "you didn't come when I needed you most, and now you've pulled such a huge stunt when I just didn't want to cause any trouble!"
To be honest, he wasn't happy.
His current desire is simple: to return safely to Jiangnan. With the honor he brought to Jiangnan this time, he should be able to secure a position in the academy and become a respected Heaven Academy. Then, under his mother's selection, he can marry a gentle and virtuous woman, and the family can live happily together like the countless ordinary families in Liuzhou.
That's all he's got potential. He has absolutely no interest in any great opportunities or good fortune. Anyone with eyes can see that the White Tiger Spell is not something you can just get easily!
Sure enough, a deep voice rang out above Cloud Capital the next moment.
"Thank you all for giving the Celestial Master Mansion's Mansion the honor of participating in this Celestial Master Trial. Now the result is decided; the spirits of the Four Saints have chosen their chosen ones."
Everyone looked up and realized that the surrounding scenery had completely changed. As far as the eye could see, it was dark, and within the darkness was a dazzling starry river!
Almost without anyone reminding them, everyone knew where they were.
Although they had never seen it before, including the emperor of the Xiao Household, they recognized it immediately: This was the legendary outer space!!
Those ancient dwelling places, the places where the gods reside!
"After watching this competition, what are your thoughts, gentlemen?"
Everyone was stunned by the sight, unable to recover for a long time. When asked by the Celestial Master, they didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Chen Baifeng spoke directly, "Master Celestial, please speak plainly!"
He had already learned some of the truth from Chen Qing's telepathic message and roughly knew what the other party would say, but when faced with the reality, he still couldn't calm down.
A perfect physical body. A second chance at life, a future as bright as the rising sun—who could resist such temptation?
Is Symbiosis really important?
"Do you all know where the magical techniques within your bodies came from?" the Celestial Master asked instead of answering.
Everyone frowned, wondering what the other party was trying to tell them.
Chen Baifeng patiently replied, "Please enlighten me, Celestial Master."
"There are incredible spirits in this world, wandering the starry sky. Their size far exceeds your imagination. You may think that those ancient arrivals were calamities, but in reality, this place you are in is utterly insignificant in the face of the true ancients!"
"Just like these Four Saints!" Pointing to the four directions, to those colossal entities even amidst the starry sky, Old Celestial Master Zhang continued, "Our world, in the eyes of these Four Saints, is actually like dust. Yet, it is incredibly important!"
"How fortunate you humans are to be the main spirits of this perfect world, possessing such a treasure land. Do you know how lucky you are?"
"What do you mean?" Chen Baifeng frowned even more deeply, Imperial Capital beside him couldn't help but look up and frown.
"You must be very curious, right?" Celestial Master Zhang sneered, "Humans have suffered terribly at the hands of demons, struggling to survive. How could they be the masters of this land? But that is the truth."
Everyone was stunned. The emperor stared intently at the other person, but among them, the most surprised was Chen Qing!
How did he know?
What about the fourth chapter?
