Chapter 63 Cai Er's Godsister
As the Demon Hunter Selection Competition held every five years by the Temple Alliance proceeds in full swing, the preliminary rounds of the major temples are also coming to an end one by one. Each temple has selected the ten best people of the younger generation to join the six major temple finals that will be launched later.
Today is the day for the draw for the final stage. All sixty contestants will be divided into six groups by drawing lots, and will compete in a round-robin tournament in the six temple competition venues of the Holy Alliance Trial Field.
After all, the remaining sixty people are already the elites among the elites in various temples, so the alliance will naturally not use a simple single-round elimination system to determine the final ranking.
The finals will be held in a round-robin format to minimize randomness and give players more opportunities.
The places in the round of 16 will be given to the top two teams with the most wins in each group, as well as another four players with the best performance in each group.
The finals are obviously much longer than the preliminary rounds, but the final prize is generous enough! The top three players can get a rare treasure like the Spirit Furnace as a reward.
You have to know that the reward for Xingyuan winning the preliminary championship of their Magic Temple was just a set of spirit-level wizard equipment, which is a world of difference compared to the spirit furnace.
In front of the Alliance Executive Office, there are several staff members waiting there. They are responsible for checking the identity of each contestant and only bring them into the venue after confirmation.
Since the reporting time was only half an hour, Xingyuan arrived about five minutes early, bringing Cai'er and asking Lin Xin to wait here.
"Hehehe, brother just said that I have good taste."
Seeing that it was not yet time to enter the venue, Lin Xin couldn't help but tell Xing Yuan about how Long Haochen had overcome many difficulties in the preliminary round of the Knights' Temple and even eliminated the grandson of their own Temple Paladin to advance strongly.
"You know, the grandson of their Paladin Leader is a genuine fifth-level Earth Knight. I'm so happy. This is the first time in my life that I've heard of a fifth-level contestant who signed up for the competition failing to even make it through the preliminary round..."
Lin Xin laughed so hard that his stomach hurt a little. Then he felt more and more that his vision was sharp, picking out a gem like Long Haochen from among millions of people.
Xing Yuan just smiled and said nothing. It would be strange if Long Haochen could not qualify. Moreover, the grandson of the Holy Knight Leader who was eliminated by him, Han Yu, should have become the opponent's squire knight and walked on the bright road in the future...
That’s good. We can’t let Long Haochen’s team become too weak, otherwise the missing strength will have to be provided by Xingyuan.
"Haha, I'm going to participate in the finals soon. I'm really looking forward to it."
A hearty laugh sounded from behind him. It turned out that brother and sister Long Haochen and Li Xin had arrived.
Noticing Xingyuan and others who were already in front of the Executive Yuan, Li Xin, who was in a very good mood, couldn't help but walk forward to greet them.
"Hi, Xingyuan."
Li Xin waved at Xingyuan, then noticed that his presence was very weak around him. Cai'er, who would not notice him unless she got closer, couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Who is this sister?"
"It's my fiancée."
Xingyuan originally intended to say girlfriend, but when he remembered that Caier's great-grandfather had already accepted him as his great-grandson-in-law, he changed his mind temporarily.
Of course, the main reason for doing this is to give Caier a sense of security.
After all, the concepts of girlfriend and fiancée are very different in the Temple Alliance.
Lin Xin whistled at the side, and Cai'er lowered her head a little embarrassedly, but she did not refute what Xingyuan said, which was regarded as tacitly acknowledging their relationship.
Because Xingyuan didn't like Cai'er wearing a veil, she only covered her eyes with a ribbon today and didn't cover her entire face. "Cai'er, you are so beautiful."
Li Xin praised from the bottom of her heart, and at the same time, she looked at Xingyuan again, and couldn't help but joked: "I didn't expect that Xingyuan, such an honest person, would find such a beautiful fiancée after only not seeing each other for a month."
The same was true for Long Haochen. After all, the last time he met Xingyuan, he had not yet told her that Cai'er was his fiancée.
Xingyuan scratched his head awkwardly and explained to the two that he and Cai'er were childhood sweethearts who grew up together, but because they belonged to different temples, they had to be separated for nearly eight years in order to practice.
Although Xingyuan simply mentioned the eight years he and Caier had been apart, Li Xin's eyes were moist, and it was obvious that she had imagined some kind of touching love story in her mind.
Especially the way Cai'er was dressed, which directly revealed her identity as a blind person. This made Li Xin think highly of Xingyuan and felt that he was a man of affection and righteousness.
"Thank you, sister."
The Sword of Samsara has the ability to detect lies. As its holder, Cai'er could naturally feel that what Li Xin said was sincere. In addition, the other party was Xingyuan's friend, so she also developed some good feelings towards her.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce you to Cai'er."
Cai'er's fragility at this moment almost melted Li Xin's heart. You know, she dreamed of having a younger sister.
"I am your sister Li Xin. Please take care of me in the future."
"Um……"
On the other side, three grown men, Xingyuan, Lin Xin and Long Haochen, gathered together.
"That's right, Brother Haochen. I've heard all about your heroic deeds in the Magic Temple."
Lin Xin patted Long Haochen on the shoulder and asked with a smile: "I just don't know how confident you think you are in making it to the top three in the upcoming finals."
Hearing this, Long Haochen smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Brother Lin, you think too highly of me. This round of trials has produced many talented people, and your Magic Temple has three fifth-level players including Brother Xingyuan..."
What he meant was that he didn't hold out much hope, but he would still try his best, hoping that Lin Xin would be mentally prepared to end up with nothing.
Lin Xin just laughed and said nothing, but turned around and gave Xingyuan a look.
The two of them who mastered the art of insight could see that Long Haochen had already completed a breakthrough and was promoted to a fifth-level Earth Knight, so he was no longer able to fight against them.
You have to know that the so-called knights never fight alone. They have their own magical beast mount partners, not to mention Long Haochen's, which is the best in the entire Holy Demon Continent.
"Hey! Brother Xingyuan, and Miss Cai'er!"
Sima Xian, the loud-voiced man with a bald head, also came. Xingyuan cast an insight spell on him and found that his spiritual power had also broken through to the fifth level. He nodded in agreement.
