Divine Seal: Prism Simulation! Cai'er is addicted!

[Based on the draw order, your match is the fourth one, which gives you a chance to observe the results of the other contestants.]

[Among them, you discovered a special person—the only contestant from the Warriors' Hall to advance: Dian Yan, who exudes an inexplicable murderous aura.]

[Through your senses, you realize that it's the same feeling you had when you were training at the Demon Exorcism Pass, among those veteran generals with years of war experience.]

[“Killing intent!” You look at this contestant who, despite being younger and even less powerful than the Palace King Yuan Yuan, and lacking her divine artifact, has calloused hands and an aged appearance beyond his years.]

You begin to feel awe; this is what a true warrior is—not someone with talent, but someone who relies heavily on their own hard work.

Thinking of him, you glanced back at Lin Xin, who sat idly to the side, humming a tune.

"There's no harm without comparison!"

[It wasn't just you; others had the same thought. Lin Xin had just arrived when he was surrounded by members of the Knights' Hall and the Warriors' Hall. "What are you going to do?" Lin Xin cried out in alarm.]

[Immediately afterwards, I received a telepathic message from my grandfather: "You've stirred up public outrage and you still dare to stay here? Go back to your cultivation."]

Lin Xin fled in haste.

You look again at Dian Yan, who is currently competing on the stage. There are no fancy skills, only extreme hand-to-hand combat. You are somewhat looking forward to fighting him.

[The eight who advanced are pretty much the same as you remember from the front lines. Only Huang Yi was squeezed out by you. He was the best prospect of this year's Magic Hall, but he encountered you in the first battle and left the battlefield early.]

[Even the Magic Temple has prematurely lost its right to bark!]

[But presumably, he'll be able to successfully become a demon hunter team leader in the semi-finals; otherwise, the Magic Temple will truly lose face.]

[Dianyan's opponent in this round is Long Haochen. Facing the main character, there is no chance of victory. The second round will begin soon.]

[You recognize one of the players in the second round; he's a member of the Assassin's Guild, and you've sparred with him many times. He's also a subordinate that Sheng Yue assigned to Sheng Cai'er. Although his spiritual power is only at the peak of the fourth rank, his strength is no less than that of a fifth-rank player.]

He was also the only fourth-tier player to advance to the top eight. If the competition had been postponed for two weeks, he might have been able to break through to the fifth tier, and his Demon Hunter Team number would have been even higher.

The match ended, and as expected, he lost to Duan Yi, a knight. Among the top eight, three were members of the Knights of the Palace.

[The third game was on the home turf of the Soul Temple player Liao Yu, who defeated a Priest Temple player.]

[It's strange. In your memory, it seems that due to the special nature of the Priest's Temple, no one has ever become a captain of the Demon Hunter Team. But in this year's Demon Hunter Team, one has.]

[In your confusion, you thought of Saint Cher, who withdrew from the competition, so a new person joined. This priest was talented and lucky, thus becoming a special presence in this year's competition.]

"A priest as the leader of a demon-hunting team? That's not a good choice!"

Seeing this, Xuan Ye felt somewhat worried for their team.

The Demon Hunter Corps exists to train candidates to slay demon gods in the future. During their growth, they will usually encounter various dangers, or even insurmountable predicaments.

Most of them were killed.

The Demon Hunters have disbanded.

This is the experience of many demon-hunting groups that venture deep into demon territory.

When faced with absolute adversity, the strongest captain of the demon hunter team must take the lead and risk his life to protect the other team members, so that the survivors may have a chance to survive.

But the priest captain.

They could only stand behind their teammates, and according to the rules of the Demon Hunter Team selection, their team was probably the weakest in terms of combat strength.

Once you encounter an invincible enemy.

Total annihilation is the only possibility!

[Simulation continues.]

The last game is yours.

Your opponent, Yang Wenzhao, is the grandson of the Divine Seal Knight and the best candidate for the future Divine Seal Knight. His strength remains top-tier even among the many experts in the Knights' Hall.

[Their actual combat strength even surpasses that of many who have become senior members of the Demon Hunter Team.]

You're getting a little excited!

[Battle begins.]

[You conceal your true strength, and when facing a powerful opponent, using your strongest abilities is a sign of respect. You have already planned to use "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones" immediately should you become outmatched.]

Yang Wenzhao first summoned his mount, and because it was a two-handed sword, he began with a Holy Light Cross Slash.

Yang Wenzhao, known for his offensive prowess, once clashed with Huang Yi, the prodigy of the Magic Hall and the Knights Hall, in their daily trials. Although he defeated him, he did not win with his bare hands and spiritual power like you.

In his subconscious, you have already been regarded as a respectable opponent.

He carefully observed every battle you fought and realized that you are different from other assassins. Unlike them, you don't primarily train in stealth techniques; in fact, you don't even need to stealth. You fight openly and honestly, and your combat skills are incredibly powerful, far surpassing those of your peers.

[Furthermore, its attribute is outrageous: it's Light.]

However, Yang Wenzhao didn't pay attention to this point. He understood the weaknesses of assassins' skills. Different attributes for the same combat technique would at most increase its power, as he had proven in previous battles.

As for the changes in some skills, he guessed that as Saint Moon's disciple, the changes were all thanks to Saint Moon, since he himself was often taught by his grandfather to learn the self-created skills of the Divine Seal Knights.

Yang Wenzhao's skill missed. The strength of Light Concealment lies in its ability to grant invisibility when stationary, equivalent to a sixth-tier assassin's stealth skill. However, unfortunately, it becomes easily detected once the target moves.

[The opening is a large-area skill attack.]

[You haven't learned the sixth-tier stealth skill, and given that it's getting late and the sun is about to disappear, the skill's effectiveness is greatly reduced.]

[Yang Wenzhao then unleashed a Holy Light!]

This was a inherited skill created by an ancient Divine Knight of his family, intended to combat undead opponents among the demon gods, but it was particularly useful at this moment.

Under the radiance of holy light, darkness has nowhere to hide.

However, being of the Light attribute, you can enhance your stealth attribute by utilizing the opponent's skills.

But Yang Wenzhao's idea didn't lie there.

[Because of the battle against the assassin, according to the rules of the competition, many stone pillars will appear in the arena to help the assassin hide. His goal is the same as when Wang Yuanyuan fought you: to clear all obstacles.]

The stone pillar melted.

[The holy light has vanished, and as your light diminishes, you reveal slight fluctuations of spiritual power. From this point on, both sides are out in the open, and you can no longer use concealment.]

Yang Wenzhao looks forward to a head-on confrontation with you.

"Found you!" Yang Wenzhao unleashed a Rising Dragon Strike, the strongest single-target killing move of a fifth-tier Retribution Knight.

[Shadow Clone Technique!]

You should respond in the same way!
