Chapter 54 Isn't this a secret operation?!
The small incident on the way did not affect the itinerary of several people.
Soon the group arrived at the holy city.
The Holy City is also the headquarters of the Temple Alliance.
This city was gradually built after the Dark Ages and is the central institution of the Temple Alliance.
There is no country in the Holy Demon Continent. This is the highest administrative body in charge of human settlements.
There is no so-called boss, but it is jointly ruled by the six major temples.
Each temple has a ninth-level strongman in charge, who discusses internal management and actions against the demons.
The Holy City is a hexagonal city, symbolizing the six holy temples.
This is also the most prosperous city within the Temple Alliance.
In the holy city, there are three most famous buildings, namely the Alliance Executive Office, the Holy Alliance Auction House and the Temple Alliance Trial Field.
Among them, the Grand Trial Field of the Temple Alliance is the venue for the Demon Hunting Team selection competition.
In addition, this is also the place where the demon hunting team advances and accepts missions.
There is a special mission tower and trading area inside, and you can also use your merits to exchange items in the treasure house.
"Come on, I'll take you to register!"
The Inspector Feng Yangmu, who had been following along the way, appeared again.
After bringing Ye Tian and his group to the Temple Trial Field to complete the registration, his mission was completed.
The team will then disband.
Several people are going to their respective temples to participate in the competition, and they can only meet after they break through the siege and advance to the finals.
"Brother, Brother Long, you guys better keep up the good work!"
Before parting, Lin Jialu smiled and cheered them on.
Long Haochen nodded heavily, "Sister Lin, you have to work hard too. We will try to meet in the finals."
"Hehe, I'll try my best!"
Lin Jialu and Li Xin looked at each other, and a smile appeared in their eyes.
"Sister Jialu, see you later."
Ye Tian said goodbye softly.
The six people quickly separated and reported to their respective temples.
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the Knights Temple, I saw Ye Hua standing outside, obviously having been waiting for a long time.
"teacher!"
Long Haochen stepped forward excitedly.
"Everyone is here," Ye Hua nodded calmly, "You only have one day to rest, the preliminary round will start the day after tomorrow."
"According to the information I got, there are at least a hundred knights participating in this preliminary competition, and three Earth Knights have already appeared among those who have registered."
"So the competition will be quite fierce, you should be mentally prepared in advance!"
Three Earth Knights?!
Li Xin and Long Haochen were both shocked.
Ye Hua glanced at Li Xin and spoke again, "Calm down. After all, the Demon Hunters' Trials have gathered the talented elites of the entire Temple Alliance. It's not surprising that the Earth Knights appear."
"Moreover, contestants above level five will have a bye in the first two rounds, and will only meet in the competition for the top ten."
"But don't get complacent. You have to be very alert, otherwise you will be eliminated in the first round."
"In the past, there have been cases where Level 5 professionals failed to even make it through the preliminary rounds in the Demon Hunting Group trials."
"Yes, teacher, I won't let you down!"
Long Haochen responded in a firm tone.
However, Li Xin and Ye Tian remained calm as always.
One has no intention of qualifying, while the other is almost certain to win, so they are not worried about it.
"Have a good rest and try to make it to the finals!"
After a brief chat, Ye Tian and his companions went to the hotel arranged by the Knights Templar to check in.
The entire hotel has been booked by the Knights Templar to accommodate participants from various cities. There are no spectators at the Demon Hunters Trials.
For the members of the Demon Hunting Group, their future will be to face the demons directly, and even go deep into the demon’s hinterland to complete their mission.
Therefore, everyone's information must be kept confidential, otherwise once the news leaks out, the whole group will most likely be wiped out.
Long Haochen's license plate number is ninety-seven, Ye Tian and Li Xin's are five and six respectively.
Li Xin and Ye Tian did not follow Ye Hua's instructions and stayed in the hotel to practice.
The two of them made an appointment with Lin Jialu and took a brief tour of the holy city.
It’s true that the previous Amy City was already prosperous enough, but it was still dwarfed by the Holy City.
The day's rest time also passed during the fun.
Finally, it’s the day of the preliminary round.
Early in the morning, Ye Hua brought Ye Tian and the other two to the Holy Alliance Trial Field.
There are a total of six trial fields inside, belonging to the six major temples. There is a huge dome above each trial field, covering the trial field with a diameter of one hundred feet.
Entering the Knight Trial Field, a strong magical element hits you in the face.
Even the previous Amy City Auction House cannot compare to it.
Ye Tian seemed to sense something. He slowly raised his head and clearly captured the huge magic symbols engraved on the dome.
There is also a magic circle in the center of the trial field.
No matter how damaged the venue is, it can be repaired in a short time.
At this moment, quite a few people have gathered here, almost all of them are wearing armor, with shields and sharp blades on their backs.
Obviously, most of them are guardian knights.
Without waiting too long, the dome of the trial field suddenly lit up, and a huge golden halo spread out from the air.
There were several figures sitting on the rostrum, but because they were too high, people couldn't see their specific appearance clearly.
But the strong aura from above made Ye Tian feel more pressured.
"As expected of the Temple Alliance headquarters, there are so many experts here."
At this moment, a powerful voice sounded.
"Time is up, the Demon Hunting Team selection competition officially begins!"
"Now let me read out the rules of the competition. You are not allowed to intentionally injure your opponent. If one party causes death, the other party will be declared the loser, and the person and their branch temple will be held accountable!"
"The preliminary round is an elimination round. The first round will be held today. There are a total of 139 participants. The six fifth-level contestants will have byes in the first two rounds."
"Due to a shortage of participants, a bye spot will be determined by drawing lots."
"All contestants, get ready, the draw begins!"
As soon as the words fell, a huge golden ball of light appeared in the dome in the sky.
Under everyone's gaze, a large number of numbers began to jump inside the ball of light.
Soon, the numbers suddenly stopped.
"Player number ninety-seven gets a bye."
"Number ninety-seven? Isn't that you, Xiao Haochen?" Li Xin couldn't help but show surprise.
Long Haochen and Ye Hua were also extremely surprised.
I didn’t expect to be so lucky and directly drew a bye spot.
"You're lucky, but luck alone won't get you far. Next, watch carefully the first round of eliminations. All of them could become your opponents."
Ye Hua reacted and gave a cold warning.
"Understood, teacher!"
Long Haochen nodded and came back to his senses from his joy.
Ye Tian was also surprised.
Although he and Li Xin had byes in the first two rounds, they still wanted to watch Long Haochen's match. Unexpectedly, the other party also directly drew a bye.
In other words, Long Haochen’s identity has not been exposed yet, otherwise Ye Tian would really think it was a secret operation!
