Chapter 14 Challenge
The saint's ceremony was presided over by a mentor. Although it was a formality, it was a standard every year. The oath of the oath echoed in the fighting arena through the mouths of nearly two hundred people below the stage. It was nothing more than some high-sounding words such as the oath of allegiance to the Holy City and the pace of the Holy Holy Mentor Adalia. However, with the solemn drums and music, the choking and excitement that came from time to time among the newly promoted saints, the audience in the stands also cooperated, and the whole scene seemed quite solemn.
To be honest, only after experiencing the saint's assessment can we know how hard-earned the identity of this saint is. There are no shortage of lucky people who have been stronger than themselves to squeeze out some competitors who are stronger than themselves. There are also many old apprentices who have been in the Holy City for five or six years or even longer. They may have been excited when they came in before, but when the oath was read, these old apprentices couldn't help but burst into tears.
Become a member of the Holy City? Follow the pace of the Holy Tutor?
These old apprentices who had been delayed for many years to become saints were once all the prides of heaven, but after coming to the Holy City, they became the lowest level. Without the protection period of novices and the identity of a saint, if they want to continue to survive and learn in the inner city of the Holy City, they would not have the price that ordinary people can imagine. Tired? That is just the most basic, and what is even more terrifying is that they have no dignity and no hope, and they live even worse than their mentors' pet dog.
Some of the excitement of the oath at this time were sobbing that they could not stop crying. The excitement might not make many newcomers understand. Many newcomers in the stands still thought that they were just a beat slower than others and had fewer resources, but sooner or later they would understand this sadness.
As for the subsequent challenges, the old apprentices didn't care much, nor did they pay much attention to it. The years of slave life had already worn away the fighting spirit of most of them, making them accustomed to hiding in the shadows. It might take a long time to get rid of it, or maybe they couldn't get rid of it for a lifetime. They cared more about the identity of this saint, the limelight and other things they were interested in.
The real newcomers from the three major camps of empire, federation and dimension people are really thinking about this.
Those who can select saints as fresh graduates are undoubtedly the prides of heaven among the prides of heaven. They may not particularly care about the monthly payment of one or two hundred sacred coins for first and second-class apprentices. In fact, they are no longer short of this income. What they value more is the reputation they can gain through this battle.
Who doesn’t want to attract the attention of the great mentors? Who doesn’t want to make a splash and get the favor and cultivation of more forces? The opportunity is right in front of you, the Saints Challenge!
The saints did not disperse after taking the oath. The mentors on the stage were announcing some rules of the Saints Challenge, which everyone already knew long ago. The saints below were spontaneously divided into several circles.
The power of the empire is definitely the most powerful among these circles. After all, it has accumulated over the years. Now, once the outbreak occurs, there are more than 100 new people in the empire brought to the Holy City by the mentor, far exceeding the total number of new people in the federal class. Now the most people have passed the saints assessment, with a total of fifty people, accounting for nearly one-third of the new saints. Not only from Caesar, but also from Amazon and even the Tutankhamun Empire. Solomon's trip to the holy land was perfect. The more than 100 imperial places he had won by his great mentor was pioneering.
At this time, they all gathered behind Solomon. Although they belonged to different camps before coming, after arriving at the Holy City, Solomon conquered them. Whether it is strength or being a human being, Solomon obviously has his unique set. When he wanted to win over the hearts of the people, there were too many methods.
Beside Solomon, Enoch, who is now quite famous among the newcomers, is standing in the never-changing left hand position. It is said that poor mountains and rivers are out of troubled people. The fierceness of the imperial people has been rumored in the Federation for a long time. These elites from the Empire all look fierce and cruel, full of bandits, and are absolutely in sharp contrast with the relatively gentle and gentle children of the Federation. Just looking at their temperament, you can see that this is actually an important reason why the Holy City decided to openly accept the imperial people this time.
One of them, they need such real fresh blood to stimulate the people of the Holy City who have become a little solidified. The integration of different cultures can always bring a lot of fresh things and maintain people's activity. In addition to the power of the Empire Solomon, they are probably considered dimension people. This is a real talent group. The proportion of fresh newcomers passing the Saints Promotion Competition is also the highest, even higher than that of the Empire's elite. This year, there are nearly thirty newcomers in the total number of forty newcomers in the newcomers.
Wilder Alexander is quite low-key among this newcomers. As the undisputed number one master among the domineering newcomers, he is also known as the super genius among the dimensional people. He has naturally become the benchmark for this group. In addition, some old apprentices among the dimensional people, there are about forty people gathered around him, which is not much smaller than the number of people in the imperial power. The dimensional people's presence in the Holy City has always been very small, and they never take the initiative to occupy the public opinion trend, as if they are like a transparent group, but they must not be ignored. In fact, the dimensional people's talent is quite strong. Thanks to their excellent genes, the proportion of masters is also very high. Moreover, because they are natives in the Holy City, they are united by oppression, so their network of relationships and energy are actually quite large in the Holy City.
This tribe is an alternative to the Holy City. On the one hand, it is one of the main forces of the Holy City when fighting abroad, and on the other hand, it seems that it will never be able to enter the top leaders of the Holy City. No matter how great the contribution they make during fighting abroad, the people in the Dimensions seem to have no chance to receive the reward. Great contributions will be taken away by the people above. There are rumors in the Holy City that the senior leaders are afraid of the Dimensions, and even excluding targeted points. What they fear is their talent and internal unity... Of course, those who spread this kind of news often have no good results.
I think there are fewer people around Caroline than these two large circles, but there are more than thirty.
Although there are only a dozen newcomers in the Federation this year who have passed the Saints Promotion Competition, there are many old apprentices who have been stuck in the past ten families. Although these people are older than Caroline, they are really not as good as their strength. Most people know the situation of old apprentices. As long as they do chores in the Holy City for a few years, even if they rely on time to advance to the Saints, this type of person will almost never climb above the pyramid. Rules such as late-achieving are not common here. Perhaps there are so few people in the long history of the Holy City that break this law, but there are too few people like that. It is expected that such a group of people will follow Caroline's leader. Not to mention that they dare not and do not want to steal the limelight, even if they want to, they do not have the ability at all.
This circle represents the family power of the Federation. It is not just the ten major families. Anyone who comes from the Federation will automatically join this circle, and the ten major families will accept it. After all, there is potential to come to the Holy City. This is also the foundation of the Federation that has so many dependent on the ten major families and other front-line families. Tiweilan, Guixinying, Popo Torrest, and others who have not appeared for a long time gathered around Caroline and became the core of this circle. Strangely, Guihao did not stand with them.
There were also a dozen people gathered around him, as if he wanted to raise a banner and compete with the other three powerful newcomers. The number was a little smaller, but as the only newcomer among this saints who publicly identified the peak heroic spirit strength, and a record 12,000 Grasso, Gui Hao did not seem overestimated his ability to lead the army alone.
Apart from these four circles, the rest are all scattered people, mainly federal people, old apprentices from previous generations. However, after those years of despair, they no longer have any hope for their family. When they are in the most difficult times, the family does not or is unable to lend a helping hand, then they no longer need it now, and they will not hold the thighs of the ten major families. As the former pride of heaven, even if they have fallen, they still have their own bottom line.
There are not many people in this circle, with twenty or thirty people. This is the least valued group among the saints of all ages. In the past, if such a group of people were crowded together, no one would have looked at them a few more times, but this time it was different. There were three newcomers who were caught in this and seemed quite an "eye-hit".
Wang Chong, Grey, Naipir.
These three are today's champions. Second-class apprentices will have attracted everyone's attention, not to mention that Grey and Nepil are both popular new stars recently. Not only have there been news that several great mentors have taken a fancy to Grey, but in this Saints Promotion Championship, these two also squeezed into the top five of the newcomers' promotion competition with sixteen hours and fifty-six points, and seventeen hours and twenty-three minutes respectively. They are absolutely powerful, so that any newcomer who wants to challenge their champion status must think carefully, which will definitely attract attention.
Not to mention Wang Chong, the experimental accident that happened some time ago, although the above finally brought this matter in an understatement, the impact was not so easy to eliminate. Wang Chong's reputation in the circle of saints is now very bad, especially the aliens. He thought it was natural to get compensation, but although the above arranged a better place for them, no other losses were compensated, which made many alien saints want to swallow Wang Chong alive. If it weren't for the fact that the scene was still a solemn occasion today, someone would probably throw rotten eggs at him.
"I heard that this guy went through the back door of the Alchemist union and directly advanced without even participating in the assessment."
"What? Are you following the Alchemist union's path? Is it okay for the head of the Alchemist union? Do they dare to collect the goods that can blow up three buildings by doing experiments?"
"Who took him? Is your eyes long? "
"It's Master Murphy..."
"Well...ah, then, who, I think Solomon is quite handsome!"
There were endless chattering sounds in the stands, and Ji Mengli couldn't help laughing out loud: "This guy is quite interesting. Wang Chong, I heard that an accident occurred in the experimental barrier some time ago and the dormitory building exploded. He was quite brave... "
She suddenly remembered Lan Daier's assistant, the one named Aila, and seemed to have mentioned a new vegetable tester named Wang, saying that she was very cared for by Lan Daier: "Your little vegetable tester is not this guy, right?"
"Isn't it him?" Lan Daier laughed: "How about it, doesn't it look like a special one? You're so thin, haha, but if you really see his appetite, you'll be surprised."
"Wow..." Ji Mengli noticed Lan Daier's eyes, the feeling of youthfulness that was revealed invisibly. Ji Mengli had not seen it from Lan Daier for many years.
Is there any article here?
Ji Mengli had a little smile on her face, but she did not point it out: "It's good that fresh newcomers can advance to the saints."
The two chatted about this. The mentor below had completed the promotion ceremony and explained the rules of the challenge, and officially announced the beginning of the challenge. This was also the highlight of today. There was a tsunami sound from the stands. Whether they were watching the fun or coming to cheer up their own people, they were already excited.
"Scarlett has not returned from going out, so he is exempted from this challenge. All other champions who call their names please stand on their own arena!" The voice of the mentor spread throughout the fighting arena.
When Wang Chong was about to face the test, Kacciltham City also faced all kinds of weirdness. Hungry caravans brought various resources to gather from all directions, and at the same time, there were endless sand thieves.
The lives of human beings in the desert are as valuable as yellow sand. The pursuit of wealth by the sand thieves is an obsession engraved into their bones, a curse given to them by the desert, and an insolvent poisoning.
In the early morning, Renault had just slept for an hour and was awakened again, "Instructor, here we are again!"
Renault, with red eyes, grabbed his leather armor and rushed out of the tent. At the city wall under construction, a group of naked sand thieves were frantically transporting wood and stone materials piled up by the city gate. In the desert, wood and stone are precious resources second only to food.
As soon as Renault showed his face, a roar came from a distance, and the robbers all shouted, and with the things they had already snatched, retreating quickly towards the depths of the desert.
Renault snorted coldly and chased after him. Five sand thieves shouted and rushed towards him.
Boom boom boom boom...
Renault smashed a sand thief who rushed over to the ground without missing a leak. Looking at the sand thief team that had already ridden on the sand camel, he did not chase after him, but instead allowed someone to tie the five sand thiefs who stayed into a prison, and they would become the labor force for building the city of Kacciltham.
This is a simple conversion given by Gong Yi. The "resources for labor" plan between the sand thief is just taken as a purchase. Anyway, building a city requires a lot of manpower. This is Tutankhamun, but it does not have the federal technical content and modern equipment.
Chapter completed!
