It's a new day.

Li Xiaosen's mood today is actually quite good.

Although the repeated impact of the nightcrawlers outside the enchantment lasted all night, causing panic in the enchantment, although there are still many people in the enchantment who look at him unpleasantly, and the toxin of the withered blade in his body has not yet been lifted, although last night, Qin Lan's last words about the mysterious relationship between Long Wu and the Demon Hunter City really made Li Xiaosen quite concerned in his heart; and, although he will officially face Balu and Skana today......

But Li Xiaosen is in a really good mood today.

The fatigue caused by the hard battle in a desperate situation yesterday was swept away, and the whole person was a lot more transparent.

Without him, just because in the early hours of this morning, when Li Xiaosen was carefully appreciating his new ability "Killing Intent Spiritual Sense", he sensed a strong killing intent coming straight at him from outside the enchantment!

There was no doubt at all, Li Xiaosen knew that it was the killing intent from the will of the ancestors, and it was also the killing intent from his sister Li Xiaoqian.

"Very good, wow, I'm afraid that I'm delaying in this enchantment, in case the will of the ancestor is not in North America at all, then wouldn't I be busy in vain?" The distorted part of the will to kill Li Xiaoqian, thinking like this, was very happy, and there was a feeling of "prey, you are obediently waiting for me to kill you".

The part of the will in the Pure Land that was not distorted by his sister breathed a sigh of relief: this was the first time in these days that he personally felt the message from his sister, which made Li Xiaosen feel that the heart that had been hanging was slightly relieved.

As for why there is such a strong killing intent from his sister's side, is his sister's will swallowed up by the will of the ancestor - for these questions, Li Xiaosen did not think about it for the time being, first, it was useless to think about it, and secondly, after the bloody battle in Huaxia, Li Xiaosen understood one thing, that is, his sister is a strong and assertive girl, and under the stupid and cute appearance, she actually has the right idea! Li Xiaosen has confidence in his sister, Xiaoqian will not be easily devoured.

"What do you want?" a deep voice sounded beside him, and it was Balu who spoke, "Today is the third and final round of selection, what are you feeling as an outsider?"

The third round of selection is about to begin.

The same venue, similar scenes, the difference is that today's weather is a bit cloudy.

The constant impact and vibration outside the barrier makes people feel uneasy.

Li Xiaosen, Skarna, and Baloo, the three candidates who made it to this round, stood together and waited for the official start of the final decisive round.

Balu is still the same Balu, who seems to be loyal and honest, but in fact, his mouth is very smelly and poisonous.

A sentence with a very normal content, when he said it, it had a strong uncomfortable taste.

He deliberately emphasized the three words "outsider", and prepared a series of follow-up words, once Li Xiaosen returned the mouth, he would immediately face Balu's follow-up fire!

Li Xiaosen looked over a little blankly and blinked: "What did you just say?"

Balu: "......" followed by disgusting words, and I didn't know how to say it for a while.

There was a rare hint of evil on the bald black man's face: "I think you're a little inflated, kid, do you think you'll be able to go to heaven if you win that megalomaniac like Alpha?"

"Okay, let's not say a word. As he spoke, Skarna said, "Ready to enter." ”

Li Xiaosen still admires Scarner, this guy is the most mature one among the powerhouses that Li Xiaosen has seen so far, and he doesn't know what his strength is, but Scana does have the style of a general.

Compared with Scana, Huaxia's Yuhuayun is slightly younger, and Liuli was giggling all day long before Liu Xiaohui's death, and he didn't do his job at all, as for Liu Changsheng, in Li Xiaosen's opinion, no matter how strong a traitor's strength is, it is useless, in terms of life, a traitor is not worthy of being a man.

In this way, a group of three people walked into the venue.

Li Xiaosen collected his mind and silently adjusted his state.

Now that the exclusive ability of the spell has been preliminarily completed, the spell structure of the fireball and the light ball in pairs seems to have room for further improvement, but the changes in this part do not seem to be completely in accordance with his own will, and Li Xiaosen is not in a hurry.

The next focus is to try to win this Guardian Knight selection, get the rune, and see if you can further improve your spell-specific abilities.

The information of the runes was obtained from Long Wu.

Li Xiaosen was actually quite concerned about it before, why did Long Wu give him such an information.

And after listening to Qin Lan mention last night that Long Wu might have something to do with Demon Hunting City, Li Xiaosen felt an indescribable sense of weirdness even more-

I always feel that Long Wu is a very mysterious person, and the other party seems to know himself very well and knows the Demon Hunting City very well, so when Li Xiaosen needs to develop the exclusive ability of spells the most, he pointed out such a rune path to the flame wizard of the Demon Hunting City.

Of course, no matter what, since you are in the middle of the game, it is unrealistic to turn back, so go forward bravely, try to win the victory and get the rune to see.

As for now, Li Xiaosen is becoming more and more interested in the sub-ability "Killing Intent Spiritual Sense" attached to his exclusive spell ability.

How so......

That kind of experience of closing your eyes, not looking at anything, thinking about nothing, defending everything, and then feeling the killing intent in all directions, big or small, with different breaths, rushing to yourself, is really, very magical.

Penetrating pupil power can capture clearer and more comprehensive information, but this kind of specialized perception ability for only one thing is something Li Xiaosen has never had before.

"Why do I think Li Xiaosen is in a good mood today?" Looking at Li Xiaosen who walked into the venue with a smile on his face, Xu Wensheng wondered.

"I think he's a little bit of a desertion, you see he keeps his head down and laughs to himself, and he doesn't pay attention to the selection in front of him at all. Tanasha was a little dissatisfied and shouted, "Hey, Li Xiaosen, cheer up!!"

After yesterday's battle, Li Xiaosen is now completely on fire within the enchantment, and Tanasha, who cried and shouted to cheer for Li Xiaosen yesterday, is also on fire.

Feeling the strange eyes cast by the people around her, Tanasha was very strong: "What do you see?" No way, who let Li Xiaosen win the alpha yesterday, not to mention Tanasha, today even Xu Wensheng and the members of the cultivation branch feel a lot more confident.

Yesterday's losers, Alpha and Eliza, sat in the audience today.

Not far from the two, Lin Wanren looked as quiet as ever among a group of chattering companions, but in fact, there was seriousness, expectation, and curiosity in her eyes: "The decisive selection of the guardian knights of the Demon Hunting City, what are the selection rules, even the dean, she doesn't seem to know...... What the hell is going to be like?"

Rayla didn't show up at all today.

Qin Lan was still sitting on the upper edge of the giant screen in solitude as she had done two days ago.

Grayson and the ocean, appeared on the broadcast platform.

For a while, all the eyes of the scene were projected onto the past.

Grayson changed into the traditional costume of Demon Hunter City today, and his chubby body was full of flame wizards' robes, which was a little funny.

But as soon as he stood there, he naturally felt a sense of heaviness and reliability.

For a moment, the constant sound of impact and vibration from outside the barrier seemed to no longer disturb people's minds.

"I have to make a regretful announcement......," Grayson spoke, saying regretful, but he actually had a faint smile on his face, a little helpless, "Today's third round of selection had to be canceled. ”

"Huh, what?" Li Xiaosen was immersed in the feeling of "Killing Intent Spiritual Sense", and he was almost about to lock on the position of Drela, who had the strongest killing intent for himself in the enchantment, when he heard this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Grayson.

It was so unexpected!

Li Xiaosen's performance was not bad, and the others at the scene were stunned and speechless, and after a while, a shocking voice of doubt erupted violently:

"Why canceled?"

"Canceled again? A Guardian Knight selection was suspended twice, what do you mean?"

"Hell, that kid from Huaxia really wants to be the knight of our Demon Hunting City? Why can't I accept it anyway!"

Not only ordinary audiences, but even Alpha, Eliza, Lin Wan, and Qin Lan were all surprised.

Li Xiaosen noticed: Scarna's expression was quite normal, very surprised but still under control. Balu's expression was a little incomprehensible, it was a kind of ...... After the accident, he was a little crazy with joy. Although it was only a flash in Balu's eyes, it happened to be captured by Li Xiaosen with a penetrating eye.

Grayson motioned for everyone to be calm, and then said, "Sorry, I didn't make it clear enough: it was only this third round that was canceled, but the selection of the Guardian Knight will not be suspended. ”

With that, he glanced at the ocean beside him.

Haiyang nodded, took two steps forward, and said loudly, "This is my idea." At the moment, the Nightkin is pounding outside the barrier, and I believe everyone understands that the battle is only a matter of time, and it is in the near future. In these extraordinary times, I don't think it's necessary to choose one of the three. ”

There is no need to choose one of the three? Li Xiaosen had a vague guess in his heart.

Sure enough, I only heard the ocean continue: "After the first two rounds of selection, I confirm that the three who are currently in the third round are qualified to become my guardian knights. So I hope that all three of them will become my knights, protect me, assist me, and win the next tough battle against the Nightkin together!"

Hearing this, Li Xiaosen has completely understood.

This Your Highness of the Seas...... It seems that he is a very individual person, and he can have such bold decisions and ideas.

What Li Xiaosen didn't know was that the ocean was actually a bit similar to Qianqian, and at a young age, he took on burdens that other peers couldn't even imagine, making their minds much more precocious.

The difference is that Qianqian was once confused due to lack of strength, and later became more and more independent/self-reliant.

And the ocean seems to be more precocious than Qianqian, perhaps because she has never lacked ability, her talent in cultivation is better than Qianqian, and she has been recognized by the Demon Hunting City Inheritance Artifact at a young age.

For the ocean, it doesn't matter who will be her guardian knight, all she wants is the strictest protection, so that she can really exert her strength and the power of the inheritance artifact!

It is precisely because of this personality and style of the ocean that she has the decision she has now, which in her own opinion is not an exaggeration, but a normal one.

After the accident, Li Xiaosen quickly accepted the situation.

This is nothing bad for Li Xiaosen!

Originally, Li Xiaosen was not full of confidence in the competition with Scarna, especially when he didn't know what the rules of the third round of selection were.

Sharing the title of Guardian Knight with others may be a bit uncomfortable or difficult for Skarna and Baru to accept, but Li Xiaosen said that he has no problem at all - as long as he can get the runes!

So under the reluctant gaze of many people at the scene, Grayson personally presided over and held the honor ceremony of the guardian knight.

According to tradition, the ritual is not complicated, but it is very sacred.

The knights swore an oath: even if they sacrifice their hearts, they will swear to protect the life of Her Royal Highness the princess, and even if they sacrifice their own lives, they must let Her Royal Highness have enough output space to complete the power of the artifact.

Correspondingly, the princess will also swear that no matter what, she will not let the blood of the knights be shed in vain. The relationship between the two sides is defined so that the princess will always be the one who hides behind the output, but the princess promises that whoever makes her knight shed a drop of blood, she will make him return it a hundred times!

Sometimes, the sense of ritual is such a magical thing.

After the short but solemn vows ceremony, there were far fewer voices of dissatisfaction at the scene.

Some people are more or less aware that the true essence of the relationship between a princess and a knight is the belief in protecting and living up to it, not the false glory. Thinking about it this way, it seems that it is really not such an important question who will serve as the guardian knight, whether the people from the Demon Hunting City or the people of Huaxia Academy......

Even Li Xiaosen himself had to be moved by this ceremony, a little awe-inspiring.

Especially, after the oath was over, Grayson quietly transmitted: "I'm sorry, I didn't manage the misunderstanding between you and many people in our Demon Hunting City before, and caused you a lot of damage, and those were all my omissions." I just hope that from today onwards, Li Xiaosen, you are a guardian knight for a day, and you can do your best to protect the child of the ocean one day, okay?"

Li Xiaosen said in his heart that I didn't come to participate voluntarily, and I didn't think about any protection, I just wanted runes.

But in the end, Li Xiaosen looked into Grayson's eyes and nodded.

In fact, what moved Li Xiaosen was not Grayson's request, but the content of the oath: the oath emphasizes not unilateral protection, but also the unworthy protection of the guarded and worthy of protection! This makes Li Xiaosen feel ...... Fair enough.

This made Li Xiaosen think of himself and his sister.

If it is said that his sister is his princess and he is her guardian knight, Li Xiaosen really feels that he has never guarded for the sake of guarding, but the little girl who saved herself from lifelessness is really worthy of her wholehearted protection.

Vaguely, with the help of the power of the ancestor's will, the sister's will on herself was distorted, and it seemed to loosen a little......

"Alright, the ceremony is over, from now on the four of you must—" Grayson said with a smile as he looked at the ocean, Scana, Baru, and Li Xiaosen, but at this point, he suddenly paused.

Grayson's eyes widened suddenly.

Almost at the same time, Qin Lan on the big screen suddenly turned her head to look in the direction of Lake Michigan-

It can be seen that the lighthouse on the lake, which is actually the inheritance artifact of the Demon Hunting City, the Tower of Holy Light and Flame, is slowly rising into the sky!

But it was obviously not the artifact's voluntariness, the artifact had a spirit, and the lighthouse was struggling and writhing frantically, as if it was trapped by some force, and it couldn't break free for a while.

A figure with rich blood and qi entwined, just next to the lighthouse, it was obviously a nocturnal blood clan, and its strength was outstanding, just a little bit, the lighthouse artifact was "pulled" out of the lake!

"So Grayson really did nothing wrong when he suspended the knight selection three months ago, is there really a spy of the blood clan in this enchantment?" Li Xiaosen thought in surprise.

But why do you feel a little weird in it?

At this time, Li Xiaosen suddenly noticed again: Balu!

Again, the black man's expression actually appeared again in that way that made people feel very strange, and he seemed to be very happy, very calm, and not at all moved by this change, although he pretended to be very surprised and surprised on the surface.

At this moment, Li Xiaosen didn't know which tendon he was wrong, he gave up his usual penetrating pupil power, but closed his eyes, shielding his normal perception ability, but infinitely amplified the "killing intent spiritual sense".

Then Li Xiaosen's face shook suddenly, what did he find......

"Artifact! Artifact can't be shaken! Artifact is the core of the enchantment, and if the artifact moves, the enchantment will disperse!" Grayson still shouted.

As if echoing his words, the barrier that enveloped the town began to shake, showing signs of instability.

At the same time, the army of Nightcrawlers outside the barrier suddenly launched an almost crazy attack, and there was a kind of posture that wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to break the barrier in one fell swoop!

Qin Lan had already stood up, looking up at the Nightkin beyond the barrier, and there was a hint of evil in her eyes.

Lin Wan was also shocked, but she behaved very calmly, recording all the changes on the scene and reporting it to someone outside the enchantment.

And the one who moves the fastest...... It's Scana.

In the first round of selection, Skarna's speed score was the same as Alpha's, but at this time, Alpha was in the audience, looking at the blood-colored tattoo all over his body, and stepped out, and the person had walked from the venue to Skarna on the lake, gritted his teeth and said: "Damn, this guy really retains his strength! This speed is clearly a speed that exceeds the full score!"

"Put down the artifact! it's not something you can touch!" Scana snapped, domineering, and headed straight for the figure shrouded in the blood of the artifact.

Soon, however, Skarna was stunned.

Because the bloody figure was shocked by him, and it actually dispersed.

Then the lighthouse retreated and took root again in the lake.

The sudden change came without warning, and it was even more abrupt and weird.

Skarna suddenly realized something, and suddenly turned his head to look at Grayson and His Highness the Ocean on the broadcast platform.

"I see," Skarna laughed, a little regretful, and a little reproachful, "Is this the content ......of the third round of selection......? I missed my appointment. ”

"I'm sorry. Grayson faintly turned in the direction of the big screen Kotoran, "It's not that I mean to play you tricks, but that's what the selection rules are." ”

Qin Lan shrugged her shoulders and sat down again indifferently, in her heart, she was actually quite amazed by the selection method of Demon Hunting City.

After Haiyang saluted Skarna from afar, he no longer looked at Skarna, but turned his head to look at Balu beside him, as well as Li Xiaosen.

In the sudden change just now, so that the smartest people would not have time to think about whether this was a test or not, Balu did not rush out to save the artifact, and neither did Li Xiaosen.

Balu even took a step sideways at that critical moment, as if instinctively, and blocked in front of His Highness the Ocean!

And this is exactly the most correct reaction that a guardian knight should have.

"There's a conclusion. Ocean smiled.

Skarna was eliminated, and the ocean had some regrets, but didn't really bother with it.

No matter how good and strong a person is, no matter how strong his comprehensive strength is, if he doesn't have a heart to put her in the first place, it will mean nothing to the ocean. The ocean is such a girl with a heart as strong as iron, completely different from the weak as water on the surface.

To put it simply, Skarna is still better to be a single soldier, and it is the best selection for the Demon Hunter City, the ocean, and Skarna himself.

As for Balu and Li Xiaosen, although both of them stayed, they did not rush out like Skarna.

But the step that Balu moved sideways to stop in front of the ocean became the key to the ultimate victory.

"I really, I didn't expect you to make it to the end, Baru. Ocean smiled at the black man in front of him, who was much taller than himself, among the four candidates, this was the most comprehensive one, without any shortcomings, but again, there were no particularly outstanding points.

Maybe this is the arrangement of fate, the ocean thought to himself, so that such a person who was the least noticed by himself before finally won the victory.

If nothing else, Balu should have said something decent, and then the selection will come to an end. Ocean cares a lot about her future knights, and she has done her homework carefully on the candidate's information, including her style of dealing with people. She even guessed what Ebaru's character would say in such a scene. As it turned out, Baloo's mouth moved, and the shape of his mouth was indeed as expected by the ocean, but—

Balu didn't say it.

His mouth moved, but his voice seemed to be stuck in his throat, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get it out.

"Huh?" the ocean suddenly realized that something was wrong.

She noticed that Grayson on the side was full of shock, but this is no longer the time to act, haven't they all acted just now?

On the big screen, Qin Lan stared at the broadcast platform with burning eyes, revealing surprise and doubts for the first time.

Except for the ocean, who was facing Balu so much that he didn't see what was going on behind Baru, everyone else - the whole audience was silent, and the pins were heard.

"What are you doing?" shouted Skarna, Alpha, and Eliza, almost at the same time. The voice was filled with earth-shattering anger and pain.

In the audience, Lin Wan had been reporting the situation on the scene to the one outside the enchantment quickly and methodically, but at this moment, she suddenly stopped and looked at the broadcast platform in a daze.

From Lin Wan's point of view, she can see it most clearly-

Behind Balu, the person standing was Li Xiaosen.

The step that Balu moved sideways in front of Haiyang also separated Li Xiaosen from Haiyang, so Haiyang didn't see what Li Xiaosen did to Balu: Li Xiaosen's hand pierced Balu's vest and launched a strong attack, breaking through Balu's defense that was almost as good as Eliza's, and then pinched Balu's heart.

"I'm sorry for that...... My eyes are a little glazed, can anyone tell me what's going on?" Xu Wensheng looked confused.

"I ...... I don't know. Tanasha said blankly.

Did Li Xiaosen feel that he had no hope of becoming a guardian knight, and in a fit of anger, he killed the winner, Balu?

He thinks that if he kills Baru, he will be pulled down to his turn as a guardian knight??
