Divine Seal: I, the Grim Reaper, am kept by the yandere Cai'er.

Chapter 49 The Girl's Heart Beneath the Iceberg

"Finals, Assassin Temple's Cai'er wins!"

The referee's voice trembled slightly with excitement, and amplified by a sound-amplifying magic, it resounded throughout every corner of the trial grounds: "I declare that the ultimate champion of this year's Demon Hunter Selection Tournament is Cai'er!"

The dust has settled.

Long Haochen sheathed his twin swords and silently stood up from the ground.

He dusted himself off and looked at the purple-clad girl opposite him, who had already withdrawn her murderous intent and was leaning on her bamboo staff again. His heart was filled with bitterness.

We lost, and we lost utterly.

He even felt that if the competition rules hadn't prohibited using lethal force, he probably wouldn't have been able to withstand even one of his opponent's moves.

A stunned silence fell over the stands, followed by a low murmur of amazement.

Who would have thought that in this selection competition, hailed as the strongest in a century and teeming with geniuses, the one who swept aside all the prodigies and ultimately won the championship would be a slender, blind assassin?

On the platform, Ying Suifeng could no longer contain his joy and burst into laughter.

"Thank you for your kind words, everyone!" He accepted the congratulations from the high-ranking members of the Magic Temple, Warrior Temple, and other organizations with a radiant face, his smug appearance making everyone's teeth itch with envy.

Only Hantz from the Knights' Temple looked somewhat unnatural.

The Knights Temple had five spots in the top sixteen, and they thought the championship was already theirs.

Who would have thought that Cai'er would suddenly appear and beat up Yang Wenzhao and Long Haochen, whom they had placed the most hopes on?

However, Hantz took a deep breath and reassured himself.

Fortunately, although they lost the championship, the second-place winner, Long Haochen, and the third-place winner, Yang Wenzhao, were both from their Knights Temple. With two of them in the top three, they could at least save face.

In the contestant area, Long Haochen returned to his seat, looking dejected and head down, like a defeated little lion.

Long Haochen took the towel, wiped his face, and nodded vigorously: "Yes, Sister Xin'er, I know. I won't be discouraged. I will definitely work harder in my cultivation and strive to catch up with her as soon as possible!"

Although he said that, Long Haochen's gaze kept drifting towards the rest area of ​​the Assassin's Temple, landing on that aloof purple figure.

Seeing Long Haochen's eyes filled with longing for Cai'er, Li Xin sighed helplessly in her heart.

She'd been through that age herself, so how could she not see through her silly younger brother's thoughts?

Long Haochen grew up in Odin Town and was simple-minded. This was definitely the first time he had ever cared so much about a girl.

Nobody would believe you if you said you didn't like it.

only----

Li Xin turned her head and glanced at Cai'er in the distance, who seemed unapproachable like an iceberg or snow lotus, and she couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Does a girl with terrifying strength and an icy personality really need love?

No matter how you look at it, she doesn't seem to have any feelings for Long Haochen at all.

It seems that Xiaolong's first crush, his budding romance, is likely to end in failure.

Meanwhile, Cai'er, who was regarded as an "iceberg" by everyone, slowly walked off the stage.

Her steps were steady, and her beautiful face was devoid of any superfluous expression, so calm that one might doubt whether she even possessed human emotions.

However, no one expected that beneath this cold, lifeless body, Cai'er's consciousness had already happily sunk into the sea of ​​consciousness.

"White Night, White Night! I won the championship!"

Within her mind, Cai'er was like a little girl who had just gotten a perfect score and was eager to show it off to her parents; her voice was full of joy and excitement.

"I saw it, well done." Bai Ye chuckled, his spiritual energy transforming into a warm hand that gently massaged Cai'er's consciousness. "For our Cai'er, a mere selection competition championship is nothing more than a piece of cake."

Feeling Bai Ye's "head pat" and approval, Cai'er, like a kitten whose fur had been stroked, squinted her eyes in great pleasure.

"So—I did so well, will there be a reward?" Cai'er asked expectantly.

Bai Ye pretended to ponder for a moment, then teased with a mischievous smile, "As for the reward—how about I reward you with another piece of whale glue?"

"you!"

Upon hearing the words "whale glue," Cai'er's mind instantly conjured up the image of the intense heat she felt when she took it before.

An embarrassing scene of losing one's temper.

In reality, as Cai'er walked down the aisle, her fair and jade-like cheeks instantly flushed with a captivating blush, even her ears turned bright red.

That's so embarrassing!

The contestants around her, who were watching her with awe, happened to catch this fleeting moment of shyness and were all stunned.

Is this... is this still the ruthless assassin queen?

The next morning.

The brilliant golden sunlight pierced through the thin mist and shone upon the solemn and majestic holy city.

When Cai Ji stepped into the training ground again, the once noisy place instantly fell silent.

All eyes were drawn to her, filled with awe and admiration.

The title of Demon Hunter Selection Tournament Champion means that she is undoubtedly the number one among the younger generation.

This year saw the emergence of many brilliant talents, such as Long Haochen, Yang Wenzhao, and Li Xin—but in the end, only Cai'er was able to sweep away all her opponents with absolute strength and ascend to the throne.

Despite the stares of the crowd, Cai'er remained calm and walked to the front row alone, finding a quiet spot to sit down.

Before long, the ground in the center of the training ground slowly cracked open to both sides, and a huge metal platform rose up.

On the platform stood an enormous magic roulette wheel, its surface densely covered with various intricate runes.

Immediately afterwards, the six deputy temple masters of the six temples, dressed in the magnificent robes of their respective temples, solemnly entered the arena and took their seats on the platform.

Paladin Commander Hantz stood up, his majestic aura sweeping over the sixty young elites present.

"After several days of fierce competition, the individual rounds of this year's Demon Hunter Team Selection Tournament have come to a successful conclusion." Han Ci's booming voice echoed throughout the training grounds. "Now, I declare the formation ceremony of the new Demon Hunter Team to begin!"

Paladin Commander Hantz stood at the front of the platform, his majestic voice resounding throughout the arena: "Before the team members are randomly selected by the roulette wheel, according to the rules of previous Demon Hunter Selection Tournaments, the top three contestants will have the privilege of choosing one preferred partner from among all the participants to join their team."

7

Upon hearing this, the contestants who hadn't made it into the top three immediately straightened their backs, their eyes filled with longing.

If you can be chosen by the top three, especially by that terrifyingly powerful assassin queen, your chances of survival in future demon-hunting missions will definitely increase dramatically!

"Please welcome the top three winners of this selection competition, Cai'er, Long Haochen, and Yang Wenzhao, to the stage!"
