Chapter Forty-Eight: The Light of God's Eye
The sun was shining, and wisps of heat seemed to be pouring up from the ground, making people sweat even in their hearts.
On the main square, hundreds of people were crowded together, they looked up at the rostrum, and everyone had a feeling of impatience in their hearts.
Among these people, most of them were mid-level Star Monarchs from the fourth to sixth ranks, while some were junior Star Monarchs below the third rank.
They seemed to be divided into two groups of people, although they knew each other well, but at the moment they were all not squinting, as if they didn't know each other.
Suddenly, there was a noise of laughter outside the square, and more than 100 people slowly entered.
In terms of numbers alone, they are undoubtedly the least. However, when they entered the square, the originally hot and impatient Star Dwellers suddenly fell silent one by one, looking at these people with awe, and even the scorching sun overhead and the billowing heat on the ground did not seem so uncomfortable.
Each of these people had blazing eyes, and there were a lot of star power fluctuations surging on their bodies.
They are all high-level Star Monarchs above the seventh rank, compared to those middle and low-level Star Monarchs, they seem to be much more chic, they don't have much restraint at all, and they are enviable to talk and laugh.
When this group of high-level Star Monarchs walked by, all the middle and low-level Star Monarchs obediently got out of the way and watched them come to the very center of the square.
Perhaps because of the strength of the stars, the impact of the intense weather on them as high-ranking Star Monarchs was quite limited, and they basically didn't care about the heat.
"Knock ......"
Suddenly, the bell rang, and a voice full of majesty rang out.
The moment this voice sounded, the entire square suddenly fell silent, and even those high-level Star Monarchs put away their smiles and became silent one by one.
There is a high platform directly north of the square, and at this time, a group of people are slowly walking up from under the stage.
When he saw the four people who led the way, even the most unruly people would involuntarily lower their heads.
These four were none other than the four presiding officers of the temple. If these Star Monarchs want to be recognized by the Temple, they must participate in the assessment of the Temple Organization, and the promotion power is in the hands of these four hosts. Although the assessment mainly depends on the level of strength, the four of them have too many ways to affect the on-the-spot performance of the assessor.
Therefore, in the face of the four of them, all the Star Monarchs would feel tremendous pressure, even more apprehensive and restrained than when they met the patriarchs of the four major families.
It was Xu Daoming who took the lead, the Xu family was the first family on Mingcong Island, and he joined the temple as a family representative, and he also firmly held the authority of the first host.
Among the four of them, there were more than a dozen men and women of different ages.
All the Star Monarchs below, no matter what their cultivation was, were all full of envy and jealousy when they looked at these more than ten people, and the burning heat of their eyes was almost equal to the sunlight here.
Everyone knows that although these more than ten people have different cultivations, they all have a common title, that is, Divine Grace Layman.
They are outstanding geniuses who can unleash embodied images, and they are supreme beings who have been favored by the gods.
Perhaps, the person with a low cultivation level among these more than ten people is not the opponent of everyone in the audience, but once they are allowed to grow up, then the gap between the two sides will be unimaginably large.
Divine grace is undoubtedly the most powerful power, and the sooner you receive it, the better. The vast majority of those Star Monarchs who were fortunate enough to participate in the Eye-Opening Enke and ultimately succeeded were favored by the gods when they were in the middle rank, and were able to release the embodiment image.
Among the more than a dozen people, the most eye-catching are the two young men.
One of them was seventeen or eighteen years old, he was dressed in a brocade robe, his face was like white jade, but there was a hint of indescribable arrogance in his eyes at all times, as if he never put anyone here in his eyes.
The other is only fourteen or fifteen years old, with a faint smile on his face, and his eyes are full of curiosity, just like Grandma Liu who has just entered the Grand View Garden, and everything feels so strange when he sees it.
Those who can participate in hunting activities are the temporary choice of the island, although it is impossible for everyone to be a charismatic layman, but everyone is innocent and has someone to vouch for. Moreover, before they participated, they had all been told the real reason for the sudden hunt, and they also knew about the two most high-profile junior star monarchs on this trip.
Hunting has always been an activity in which the mid-level and above star monarchs participate.
However, because of the son of the enemy family in the mainland studio, this time an exception was made to allow the junior star monarch to participate.
And among the Beginner-Order Star Monarchs, in addition to the high-profile Qiu Yunpu, the little son of the enemy family, it is Yu Linghe, a newly born Beginner-Order Divine Grace Lay Monk on the island.
On Mingcong Island, the number of Divine Grace Laymen is not large, only a few hundred people.
And there are only a handful of people who can receive divine grace at the beginning of the stage, and manifest the image. In the past few decades, it seems that only the Yu family has been able to do it.
Xu Daoming strode forward, he stared down, looked at the many Star Monarchs standing with their hands tied, nodded slightly with satisfaction, and said loudly: "Everyone, the hunting conference is about to start, are you looking forward to it?"
"Looking forward to ......" seemed to be in unison, and everyone in the audience shouted and roared.
For them, the hunting convention is a platform to get ahead. Moreover, if you do well here, you may even receive the blessings of God in the next year.
Therefore, those promising Star Monarchs attach great importance to the hunting conference, and they spare no effort to participate in it every time.
Xu Daoming laughed and said, "Very good, seeing that you are so energetic, the old man is relieved." His smile suddenly changed, and he said loudly: "Everyone, this time it's still the old rule, all the contestants must do what they can, if you don't do it yourself, hehe, provoked those big guys, but no one will help you wipe your buttocks." ”
Everyone's hearts are full of joy, although every hunting meeting is a good opportunity, but if you accidentally provoke a few terrifying beings in the swamp, it will be nine deaths.
Xu Daoming nodded slowly and said, "Okay, now I'll give you a chance, if anyone is unwilling to participate, you can withdraw." ”
He just asked as usual, and no one had ever opted out at this time in so many times.
Sure enough, everyone was like a wood carving clay sculpture, as if they were afraid of causing misunderstanding among others.
Xu Daoming nodded with a smile, and was about to announce it, when suddenly a figure flew in. His face changed slightly, and he was about to scold, but when he saw the other party's face in an instant, his heart moved slightly, and the words of reprimand stopped at his lips.
This person came to the stage like flowing water, waved around, and said apologetically: "Little brother is a step late, please forgive me." ”
On the high platform, Yu Linghe's eyes were already round.
This sudden person is Shen Sheng, but isn't Brother Shen in the vanguard battalion, how can he leave easily.
Even if he didn't know the rules of the barracks very well, he knew that once he joined the barracks, he couldn't get out as he wanted. This is true not only for ordinary soldiers, but also for him. If it hadn't been recommended by Host Xu in the name of the temple this time, it would have been impossible for him to return to the competition.
"Hmph, Shen Sheng, you're not in the pioneer battalion, what are you doing here?" a person on the high platform said in a loud voice: "Don't you know that leaving the barracks without permission is a capital crime?"
Shen Sheng hugged his fists and saluted, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Host Mao, I was ordered by Jiang Jingchang to participate in the hunt on behalf of the first battalion of the vanguard. He paused and said, "This matter has been reported to the Shangguan, and it has been granted." ”
The men in the barracks are undoubtedly the most strong-blooded, and the matter of sending representatives to participate in hunting happens from time to time, and the ordinary army officials are also happy to see such things happen, as long as they do not affect the combat effectiveness of the army on weekdays, they will wave their pens and pass easily. In fact, in an army with a high degree of autonomy such as the Pioneer Battalion, as long as the commander recommends it, no one will say a word.
Yu Linghe glanced sideways at the Mao master, although Xu Daoming refused to tell him who was negligent in the first place to send him to such a dangerous place as the Pioneer Battalion. But Yu Linghe didn't know the reason, the masterminds behind all this were faintly pointed to the Mao family.
Host Mao was stunned and speechless.
Xu Daoming coughed, and hurriedly said, "Okay, since it was recommended by Jiang Junzhu, let's participate." ”
"Yes. Shen Sheng's body moved, and he had already jumped onto the high platform. He is a high-level divine grace layman, so he is naturally qualified to come up.
In the crowd, Yu Linghe winked at him, and although Shen Sheng did not respond, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
In front of everyone's eyes, he naturally can't be talked about.
However, Yu Linghe's heart was warm, because he knew that Shen Sheng was 100% worried about himself when he came back this time.
No wonder he didn't stop him at first, it turned out that he had already made up his mind to follow.
Xu Daoming waved his big hand and suddenly shouted, "Please God's eyes." ”
With a loud bang, bursts of white clouds suddenly appeared in the originally void mid-air, and these white clouds gathered together and finally turned into a huge eye.
The gaze swept down, and everyone's hearts tightened, and they all felt as if there was something more on their bodies. But no matter how much they searched, they found nothing.
Xu Daoming's voice rang like a bell: "Everyone, you have been concerned by the gods, go to the swamp, remember two things." He said solemnly: "First, take care of yourself and come back alive." Second, remember not to kill each other, otherwise you will suffer God's punishment. ”
"Yes. Everyone shouted in unison, their eyes flashing and excited.
Xu Daoming said clearly: "Go ahead." ”
Everyone turned around and rolled away like a tide.
