When he heard the middle-aged man who usually didn't smile and call himself an adult, Yue Shen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Yes, he has already passed the preliminary round of the Demon Hunter Audition, isn't he a Demon Hunter?

"Ding ding—" The sound of Thor's claws tapping on the Holy Spirit's light armor interrupted Yue Shen's thoughts.

"The Paladin Master gave me a good gift, right?" Yue Shen couldn't help but chuckle, "Thor, what do you think?" ”

Although this set of equipment is just a complete set of magic equipment, Yue Shen is still very satisfied with the attributes attached to it, and it is a very good set of spare equipment.

"Hmph-"

Thor nodded perfunctorily, then flew back to the clothes pole in the room.

......

At dawn, Yue Shen, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground meditating, quietly opened his eyes. After a night's rest, Yue Shen also adjusted to the best state.

After eating the breakfast that the middle-aged man had brought him, Yue Shen left directly for the Holy Alliance Great Trial Ground.

Although the round of 16 is going to be played here today, the other 44 are still eligible to enter the tournament. After all, this is a very rare learning opportunity for them, and it is also a valuable opportunity for them to get to know and make friends with the members of the Demon Hunting Troupe.

Since Yue Shen didn't come very early, the entrance to the Holy Alliance's Great Trial Ground was already full of people today. Seeing this, he could only stand at the end of the line.

"Yue Shen!" Suddenly, the girl's silver bell-like shout came into Yue Shen's ears, attracting his attention, and when he looked back, it turned out to be Li Xin and Long Haochen, who were belatedly speaking.

"Sister Li Xin, Haochen, good morning." Yue Shen greeted the two with a smile.

"Yue Shen, you didn't expect that, right? I'm also in the round of 16! Li Xin said very happily.

"Good morning, brother-in-law." Long Haochen smiled.

During the time of queuing to enter the venue, Yue Shen also learned about the group stage of other groups from the mouths of the two. Of course, in fact, the main reason is that he has never taken the initiative to inquire about people.

Long Haochen has nothing to say if he can qualify. After all, with the blessing of his liquid spiritual power after breaking through the fifth order, and with the help of Haoyue after his evolution, it was not unusual for him to be able to win all the games in the group stage like himself.

The more interesting one is Li Xin. Although she has a sixth-level Rose Unicorn mount and has a great advantage against most opponents, in the final analysis, she is just a fourth-order peak knight, and has not yet broken through to the fifth order.

The reason why she was able to enter the finals was mainly through the admission of defeat by Caier and Lin Xin, and she easily won two victories.

Speaking of which, Li Xin has to mention Lin Xin's record.

Three losses and six draws, this is Lin Xin's record in the group stage. Of the three matches he lost, one was against Li Xin, the other was Cai'er, and one was Sima Xian (the priest held on to the field for ten minutes without losing and won......

Yue Shen: "......"

"Speaking of that Lin Xin, I'm angry." Li Xin said to Yue Shen: "I always thought that my brother made that deal with him to make money, but who knew that this Lin Xin didn't know how to attack magic at all?" And he actually coaxed his younger brother to agree to choose him to join the team if he entered the top three, didn't he know the importance of a powerful magician to the team......"

"What's more, I think Yue Shen seems to be quite close to that Lin Xin, you also have to pay more attention to that guy, that is a bad guy who can't afford to make a profit!" Li Xin said angrily.

Long Haochen: Pretending to be deaf and dumb. JPG

Yue Shen: Don't dare to speak. JPG

After handing over their race plates at the entrance, they entered the Holy Alliance Proving Ground under the guidance of the venue staff. Their upcoming round of Sixteen finals will be held in the Knight's Proving Grounds, run by the Knights' Sanctuary.

What surprised Yue Shen was that he actually saw several contestants from the sixth group on the contestant seat in the first row.

But it's normal to think about it, after all, there are only 12 qualifiers selected in the group stage, and there are still four qualifiers for those who were eliminated in the group stage, but the overall performance is the best.

And in the sixth group he is in, there are three people who have qualified for this qualification.

The first is the plant summoner Bai Xiaoxing. Although he, like Li Xin, has not yet broken through to the fifth order, he also qualified for the top 16 finals with his one-handed stand-in technique and retreat technique.

Then there is Xue Meng, a fifth-order first-level bishop, and she is also the only one of the contestants in the Priest Temple to make it to the top 16.

Although she has also cultivated the skills of a precept priest, she still knows all the skills that a serious priest should have, unlike a bald ......

Of course, the downside is that she really doesn't seem to go berserk......

Finally, it's Gandalf. Since Yue Shen had watched a few of his games before, he was very impressed by this guy who claimed to be a magic guide swordsman.

Of course, this person didn't really just order a holy light bullet on the skill tree, he also learned all the skills that a fifth-order light magician should have, but his proficiency was a little lower.

However, when it came to hand-to-hand combat, he was able to defeat the two Assassins in the group.

Then there was another person in the sixth group who qualified with him, the fifth-order and third-level battle honor, archer ranger Chen Qi.

How do you feel that in the sixth group, except for me, all the qualifiers are strange? Yue Shen thought in his heart.

Seeing that Li Xin went to Lin Xin to settle accounts, Long Haochen went to greet Yang Wenzhao and the opponents in the same group, Yue Shen went directly down the ladder and sat down on the contestants' seats.

"Good morning, Yue Shen." Xue Meng greeted him with a smile, and several other people also greeted Yue Shen when they saw this.

"Good morning, everyone." Yue Shen chuckled and nodded in response, and then sat down with the players.

Among the players who advanced to the top 16 finals, five of them were from the sixth group where Yue Shen was.

This means that the gold content of the players in their group is far higher than that of other groups. The contestants sitting in the back row couldn't help but explode in an instant after learning about this situation. Especially after seeing Yue Shen, who qualified with a winning record in the sixth group, arrived, the noise behind was even louder.

"Yue Shen, do you know that you are famous in our selection competition?" Bai Xiaoxing, who was sitting on the side, said with a smile: "When we came over just now, we heard a lot of players in the back row discussing your affairs. ”

Before Yue Shen could ask what was going on, he heard Gandalf, who was sitting on the other side, say with a wicked smile on his face: "It's mainly that the female players are discussing you a lot, and they seem to want to form a demon hunting group with you." ”

Just when Yue Shen was feeling a little embarrassed, Long Haochen, who helped Cai'er to the first row of seats, caught their attention.

"Hello, Brother Yue." Cai'er, who was supposed to be blind, suddenly raised her head and whispered in the direction of Yue Shen, "Thank you for what happened last time." ”

"You're welcome." Yue Shen replied indifferently, and by the way, muted the player communication channel that had exploded.

In this most important knockout stage, no one will be late. It didn't take much effort for all 60 participants to pass the preliminary round.

"Welcome to the Knight's Proving Ground." Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out from the rostrum above the proving grounds.

I saw that Han Yao, who was the head of the Knight Templar Holy Knight, had already appeared in everyone's sight at this time, and with his voice, the entire player seat also fell silent in an instant.

"Today is the final round of elimination of our Demon Hunter Tryout." Speaking of this, Han Yao changed his words, "Before that, I want to congratulate the contestants who have entered the top sixteen. Reaching the top 16 in the finals means that you have received the first reward that the league has prepared for you.

The top 16 contestants, you can go to the Holy Alliance Treasure Pavilion after this tournament to get a secret skill suitable for you. And every time you make it through a knockout round, the rewards you get will increase.

As for the other contestants who didn't make it to the top 16, you don't need to be discouraged. After all, they just got these things before you, and as long as you are willing to work harder, there is no chance of surpassing them. ”

After encouraging the other contestants, Han Yao stopped talking nonsense and announced directly: "Next, please enter the top sixteen contestants, and now the lottery will begin!" ”

Grandpa Han is still as simple and rude as ever, Yue Shen said to himself. Then he stood up and walked into the proving ground with the other contestants.

After showing the competition number plate to the staff again and asking them to confirm their identities, Yue Shen and the other sixteen people stood in a circle beside Han Yao in the center of the trial ground under the guidance of these staff.

Immediately afterwards, five more deputy hall master-level figures of the Six Great Temples came down from the rostrum and stood beside Han Yao.

Among them, the thin old man in close-fitting black clothes was the deputy hall master of the Assassin Temple, and the shadow of the Xia Yin Hall was in the wind.

And the old man who was dressed in a purple mage robe and held a big mage staff in his hand was Lin Chen, the deputy hall master of the Magic Temple, the Holy Demon Master, and the head of the Demon Guidance Group.

Of course, he also has another identity, that is, Lin Xin's own grandfather.

As for the old man who was in charge of the group stage grouping ceremony of Yue Shen and the others, he was the deputy hall master of the Warrior Temple, the hall master of the Crazy Battle Hall, and the eighth-order Battle Emperor was at my own pace.

On the side was a middle-aged woman dressed in a white priest's robe. She is the deputy master of the priest's temple, the master of the sacrificial temple, and the eighth cardinal weak water.

The last to arrive was an old woman dressed in a black robe embroidered with golden runes. She is the deputy hall master of the Soul Temple, the hall master of the Spirit Illusion Hall, and the eighth-order Spirit Emperor summoner Sanshui.

"Now that you're all here, let's start the lottery ceremony, shall we?" Han Yao turned around and asked the other five deputy hall masters.

Yue Shen, who was standing in the team, didn't know if it was his own delusion, he always felt that the deputy hall master of the Soul Temple, Sanshui, seemed to always have his eyes on him from time to time.

It should have been Chen Ying'er telling her about my mount, right? Yue Shen thought in his heart.

At this moment when Yue Shen was thinking, Han Yao had already started the lottery ceremony.

"Hum—"

The golden ball of light that had appeared in the preliminary round had reappeared above the proving ground, above the heads of everyone on the field.

Onigiri Exploration Book

As the huge golden ball of light slowly fell, it also quietly deformed, turning into a huge golden halo that fell in front of the eyes of the sixteen contestants.

Then, Han Yao's voice came from within the aura, "Put one of your hands into the aura, and the lottery will start soon." You can rest assured that the first place in the group stage will only be drawn with the second place in the other group. ”

After hearing Han Yao's words, several of the sixteen people immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the expressions on their faces became a lot more relaxed. Of course, some of them are starting to get nervous.

Why do you make me look horrible? Yue Shen thought with a black line. He thought as he put his hand into the aura in front of him.

The draw began.

The other five deputy hall masters in the aura had already closed their eyes before the lottery began, and they also probed their huge spiritual power into the golden aura to ensure the fairness of the lottery at this time.

At the same time, a soft golden glow flickered on the sixteen hands of the contestants, forming golden marks of varying brightness on each of them.

Buzz –

A crisp sound sounded, and the huge golden aura instantly dissipated in front of everyone's eyes, leaving only a mark on their hands, and the draw was over.

The five deputy hall masters in the center of the trial ground also opened their eyes at the same time as the aura disappeared.

After the draw was over, Han Yao also took a look at the draw results of his Knight Temple players for the first time. He didn't want their Knight Templar to finally have five players in the final round of the sixteen at this year's Demon Hunter Tryout, and all of them would crash together.

But fortunately, except for Long Haochen and Li Xin, the other three are separated from each other.

"Do you have any objections to the results of the lottery?" Han Yao asked the other five deputy hall masters very easily.

"No objections." Several deputy hall masters glanced at each other, and then said in unison.

"Then now the competition begins, and the contestants start the competition from light to dark according to the color of the golden light in their hands." Han Yao announced: "The first group stayed on the field and was ready to play. ”

After Yue Shen raised his hand and glanced at the golden light in his hand, he also found his opponent in this round of the crowd, Gandalf.

Gandalf had obviously also discovered that his opponent in this round had drawn Yue Shen, and the expression on his face suddenly became ugly.

Obviously, his journey to the Demon Hunting Group Trials is coming to an end here.

However, since the two of them were not in the first group, they had to go back to the contestants and wait for the others to finish the race.
