Chapter 822 Challenge
The saint's ceremony is presided over by a mentor. Although it is a formality, it is a standard every year. The oath of the oath echoes in the Soul Arena through the mouths of nearly two hundred people in the audience. Some high-sounding words such as swearing allegiance to the Holy City and following in the footsteps of the most holy teacher of Adalia, but coupled with the solemn drum music, coupled with the choking and excited confusion from time to time among the new saints, the audience in the stands The audience also cooperated, and the whole scene seemed quite solemn.
Frankly speaking, only after going through the saint assessment can one know how hard-won the status of this saint is. Among them, there are no shortage of people who rely on luck to squeeze out some competitors who are stronger than themselves. There is also no shortage of old apprentices who have stayed in the holy city for five or six years or even longer. When they walked in, they might only be excited, but when they read the oath, these old apprentices couldn't bear it. Tears filled my eyes.
Become a member of the Holy City? Following in the footsteps of the Most Holy Teacher?
These old apprentices who took many years to become saints were all the favored children of heaven, but after they came to the holy city, they became the bottom. There is no novice protection period, and no saint status. To continue to survive and study in the inner city of the holy city, the price that needs to be paid is really beyond the imagination of ordinary people. tired? That's just the most basic. What's even more frightening is that there is no dignity, no hope, and the life is not even as good as a pet dog of the mentor.
How much of the excitement of swearing at this time was choked with tears, that kind of excitement may make many newcomers unable to understand, and even many newcomers in the stands still think that they are just slower than others. It took a while and some resources were lost, but sooner or later they will understand this sadness.
As for the subsequent challenges, those old apprentices actually didn't care much, and they didn't pay much attention. The few years of slave life had already drained the fighting spirit of most of them, and it might take a long time for them to get used to hiding in the shadows. It takes time to get rid of it, or maybe it won't be able to get rid of it in a lifetime. They are more concerned about the status of the saint at the moment, and they don't even think about things like being in the limelight.
Those who are really thinking about this are the real freshmen from the three camps of the Empire, the Federation, and the Dimensionals.
Those who can be selected as saints at the time of graduation are undoubtedly the most favored ones among heaven's favored ones. They may not particularly care about the monthly payment of one or two hundred holy coins for first- and second-class apprentices. In fact, this income is not bad, what they value more is the reputation they can get through this battle.
Who wouldn't want to attract the attention of the Great Mentors? Who doesn't want to make a big splash and get favored and cultivated by more forces? Opportunity is at hand, Saints Challenge!
After taking the oath, the saints did not disperse. The mentor on the stage was announcing some rules of the Saints Challenge. In fact, everyone already knew this. several circles.
The power of the empire is definitely the most powerful among these circles. After all, it has been accumulated for so many years. Now, once it breaks out, there are more than 100 newcomers to the empire brought to the Holy City by their mentors, far exceeding the number of newcomers to the Federation this year. total amount. And now the number of saints who have passed the assessment is also the most, a total of fifty people, accounting for nearly one-third of the entire newly promoted saints, not only from Caesar, but also many people from the Amazon and even the Tutankhamun Empire, Solomon This trip to the Holy Land can be described as perfect, and the more than 100 empire quotas that he persuaded his great mentor to win are groundbreaking.
At this time, they all gathered behind Solomon. Although they belonged to different camps before they came, Solomon conquered them after arriving at the Holy City. Whether it is strength or behavior, Solomon obviously has his own unique way. When he wants to win over When it comes to people's hearts, there are too many means.
By Solomon's side, Enoch, who is already quite famous among the newcomers, is standing on the left hand position that will never change. It is said that troublesome people come from poor mountains and rivers, and the ferocity of the imperial people has long been rumored in the Federation. The elites of the empire are all vicious and full of banditry, which is definitely in stark contrast to the relatively gentle-looking children of the Federation. It can be seen just by looking at the temperament. This is actually one of the important reasons why the Holy City decided to open up to the imperial people this time. They need such real fresh blood to stimulate the already solidified Holy City people. The integration of different cultures is always It can bring a lot of fresh things and keep people active. In addition to the power of Solomon in the Empire, I am afraid that they must be counted as Dimensional people. This is a truly talented group. The proportion of newcomers who have passed the Saints promotion competition is also the highest, even higher than the elites of the Empire. This year, there are a total of more than forty new dimension recruits, and nearly thirty of them have advanced.
Wade Alexander is quite low-key among the newcomers in this group. As the undisputed number one master among the newcomers of the Tyrant clan, he is also known as a super genius among the dimension people, and he has naturally become the benchmark of this group. In addition to some old apprentices among the dimension people, there are about forty people gathered around him, which is not much less than the number of imperial forces. The presence of dimension people in the holy city has always been very small, and they never go to Actively occupying the wind direction of public opinion, it seems like a transparent group, but it must not be ignored. In fact, the talents of the dimensional people are quite powerful. Thanks to their excellent genes, the proportion of masters is also very high. Moreover, because they are natives of the holy city, they are united by oppression, so their network and energy are actually in the holy city. quite big.
This ethnic group is an alternative to the Holy City. On the one hand, it is one of the main forces in the Holy City's foreign wars, and on the other hand, it seems that they will never be able to enter the high-level of the Holy City. It seems that they have nothing to do with receiving the reward. The big credit will be taken away by the people above. There are rumors in the Holy City that the high-level people are afraid of the dimension people, and they will even be targeted to exclude them. What they are afraid of is their talent and the kind of internal unity... Of course, the rumors People who get this kind of news often have no good results.
Compared with the two huge circles, the number of people around Caroline is a little less, but there are more than 30 people.
Although only a dozen or so new recruits from the Federation have passed the saint promotion competition, there are many old apprentices from the top ten families who have stayed in the past. Although these people are more qualified than Caroline, they are really incomparable in strength. Most people are well aware of the situation of old apprentices. As long as they do chores in the holy city for a few years, even if they are promoted to saints by spending time, it is almost impossible for such people to climb to the top of the pyramid. The rule of late bloomers is not universal here. Perhaps in the long history of the holy city, there were so few people who broke this rule, but there were too few such people. For such a group of people, it is expected that Caroline will follow the lead. Not to mention they dare not and do not want to steal the limelight, even if they want to, they simply do not have the ability.
This circle represents the family power of the Federation, not just the top ten families, but almost all those who come from the Federation will automatically join this circle, and the top ten families will also accept it. After all, anyone who can come to the Holy City has potential. It is also the foundation of the other first-line families that the Federation has so many attached to the top ten families. Diviran, Ghost Heart Shadow, Popo Torrest and others who hadn't shown up for a long time all gathered around Caroline and became the core of the circle. Strangely, Gui Hao didn't stand with them.
There were also a dozen or so people gathered around him, as if he wanted to set up a big banner by himself and fight against the other three powerful newcomers. The number of people is a little less, but as the only rookie among the saints who has publicly identified the peak heroic soul strength, and it is also a record-breaking 12,000 Grasso, it does not seem that Gui Hao leads an army there alone. Overreaching.
Except for these four circles, the rest are scattered people, mainly federal people, all old apprentices from the past, but after those few years of despair, they no longer hold anything to their family I hope that when I am in the most difficult and difficult time, the family does not have or is unable to lend a helping hand, so it is no longer necessary now, and I will not hug the thighs of the top ten families. As the former proud sons of heaven, even if they have fallen, they still have their own bottom line.
There are not a lot of people in this circle, there are twenty or thirty people, this is the least valued group among the saints in history, usually if such a group of people are crowded together, no one will pay more attention , but this time it is different, there are three newcomers who seem quite 'obtrusive' among them.
Wang Zhong, Gray, Napier.
These three are today's champions, second-class apprentices, and they would have attracted everyone's attention, not to mention that Gray and Napier are hot new stars among the newcomers recently. Not only has it been reported that several great mentors have taken a fancy to Grai, this time the saints promotion competition, the two also squeezed in 16 hours, 56 minutes, and 17 hours, 23 minutes. Entering the top five in the rookie promotion competition, the absolute strength, so that any newcomers below who want to challenge their status as the champions have to weigh it carefully, it must be eye-catching.
Not to mention Wang Zhong, the experimental accident that happened some time ago, although the above finally took it lightly, but the influence is not so easy to eliminate, making Wang Zhong in the circle of saints The reputation here is very stinky now, especially the aliens, who thought it was a matter of course that they could get compensation, but even though the higher-ups arranged for them with better living conditions, they didn’t pay any other losses, which caused a lot of aliens The saints wanted to eat Wang Zhong alive. If it weren't for the fact that today's scene was a solemn occasion, someone would have thrown rotten eggs at him.
"I heard that this guy came through the back door of the Alchemy Union, and was directly promoted without even participating in the assessment."
"What? Are you going the way of the Alchemy Union? Are the people in charge of the Alchemy Union okay? They dare to accept this kind of stuff that can blow up three buildings by conducting experiments?"
"Who took him? The eyes are so long, are they fucked up?"
"It's Master Murphy..."
"Hey...cough cough, then who, I think Solomon is pretty handsome!"
Ji Mengli couldn't help laughing because of the constant chattering in the stands: "This guy is quite interesting, Wang Zhong, I heard that there was an accident in the experimental barrier some time ago, and the dormitory building was blown up, so he is quite courageous ... call, "
She suddenly thought of Lan Daier's assistant, the one named Ella, who seemed to have mentioned a new vegetable tester surnamed Wang, saying that she was under the care of Lan Daier: "The little vegetable tester in your family, could it be This guy?"
"Isn't it him?" Ran Daier laughed: "How about it, doesn't it look like the kind that can be eaten? He's skinny, ha, but if you really see his appetite, I'm sure you can eat it." Surprised you."
"Woo..." Ji Mengli noticed the look in Lan Daier's eyes, that kind of youthful feeling revealed invisibly, Ji Mengli hadn't seen it from Lan Daier for many years.
There are articles here?
A slight smile appeared on Ji Mengli's face, but she didn't point it out: "It's not bad that a freshman can be promoted to a saint."
The two chatted about this effort. The mentor in charge below has completed the promotion ceremony and explained the rules of the challenge, officially announcing the start of the challenge. This is also the highlight of today. The ones who came over to cheer up their own people were already excited.
"Scarlett is exempt from this challenge because she went out and didn't return. All other ring masters whose names have been called please stand on their own ring!" The instructor's voice spread throughout the Soul Arena.
When Wang Zhong was about to face a test, the city of Kaqiertan was also facing all kinds of strange things. Hungry caravans brought various resources and gathered from all directions. At the same time, there were endless streams of sand steal.
Human life in the desert is as worthless as yellow sand. The pursuit of wealth by the sand robbers is an obsession engraved in their bones. It is a curse given to them by the desert and an unsolvable poison.
In the early morning, Renault had just slept for an hour before he woke up again, "Instructor, here we go again!"
With red eyes, Lei Nuo grabbed his leather armor and threw it over his body, then rushed out of the tent. At the city wall under construction, a group of sand robbers with bare upper body were frantically moving wood and stone materials piled up beside the city gate. , In the desert, wood and stone are precious resources second only to food.
As soon as Lei Nuo showed his face, there was a whistling sound from a distance, and the looting sand thieves shouted in unison, and quickly retreated towards the depths of the desert with the things they had already snatched.
Lei Nuo let out a cold snort, and chased after him, and the five sand bandits rushed up to meet him, shouting.
Boom boom boom...
Lei Nuo knocked down one of the sand thieves who rushed over to the ground without missing a beat. Looking at the group of sand thieves who had already ridden on the sand camels, he did not chase any further, but asked the remaining five sand thieves to Bound into the prison, they will become the labor force for the construction of the city of Kachirtan.
This is the simple conversion given by Gong Yi, and the "resources for labor" plan between Sand Pirates, it should be considered as spending money to buy it. Anyway, building a city requires a lot of manpower. This is Tutankhamun, but there is no federal technology content and modern equipment.
Originally, I still had a headache where to recruit. Since these sand thieves came, there has been a lot of labor. Of course, in order to make them obedient, Gong Yi still prepared several sets of plans. Basically, there are not many who can survive three sets. Compared to Renault's righteous indignation, he felt that this was a very good deal.
