Chapter 29 First Place in the Priest's Temple
the next day.
Lin Feng finally woke up from the inheritance space.
After two days of training, he finally mastered the basics of using the "Binding Power" and no longer suppressed the surrounding elements.
After washing up, Lin Feng, accompanied by Tian Ran and others, went to the priest's branch temple trial grounds to participate in the assessment.
This Demon Hunter selection competition brought together young people from 127 cities.
More than sixty people passed the initial assessment alone.
Therefore, each branch hall needs to undergo another assessment to determine the top ten from each branch hall, who will then be eligible to enter the final round.
However, among the more than sixty contestants, only Lin Feng's strength reached the fifth level or above, so Lin Feng skipped the first few rounds of the competition and went directly to participate in the competition for the top ten.
With the start of the Demon Hunter selection competition, the contests between the six temples are also in full swing.
Since Lin Feng didn't have any matches for the first three days, he spent his free time visiting Cai'er and wandering around the Holy City.
Evenings are for cultivation.
Time flew by, and three days passed quickly.
The top ten contestants for the Priest Temple have also been determined.
Inside the trial grounds of the priests' chapel.
With fifty contestants already eliminated, the vast training ground now appeared somewhat deserted.
Including the referees, there are only eleven people.
Of these ten people, Lin Feng knew three of them.
They are Tian Ran, Tan Ningshuang, and Sima Xian, all at the peak of the fourth rank.
Sima Xian relied on his brute strength to fight his way into the top ten.
Despite being a priest, he lacked any priestly skills, which displeased many of the other priests.
Lin Feng naturally remembered Sima Xian, after all, he was one of the main characters in the original work.
The referee was a female priest in her forties, who was at the mid-stage of the sixth rank and possessed the strength of an archbishop.
The referee looked at the people on the field and slowly said, "Next, we will draw lots. Players who have drawn numbers, please come to the field."
As the referee finished speaking, the numbers on the huge light screen in the arena began to scroll rapidly.
The first number, number 23.
The moment the numbers came to a stop, a rugged-looking, muscular man jumped onto the field.
What was most striking was his shiny bald head, which shone so brightly under the lights of the training ground that it was almost blinding.
He is also the priest Sima Xian, one of the main characters in the original work.
"Please don't draw me, I don't want to fight this guy." For a moment, the other players all prayed that they would not run into Sima Xian.
After all, they were just ordinary priests, whose fighting power was weak to begin with. When they encountered Sima Xian, a guy with superhuman strength, they could only lose.
The referee, looking at the numbers gradually coming to a stop, said with slight surprise, "Contestant number 23's opponent is number 1."
Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze immediately fell upon Lin Feng, who was standing at the front.
"I never expected to see our strongest player from the Priest Temple take the stage in the very first match today."
"He's actually quite lucky; he's a sixth-tier cultivator."
Amidst the excited gazes of the crowd, Lin Feng stepped onto the field.
Looking at Lin Feng in front of him, Sima Xian held a heavy staff in one hand and touched his bald, shiny head with the other, grinning and saying, "Although you are a sixth-level priest, priests are weak in attack. Once I get close, even if you are a sixth-level priest, you will lose."
Upon hearing Sima Xian's words, the other priests present immediately showed some displeasure, saying, "This guy is too arrogant."
"Number One is at least a sixth-tier, how can this bald monk, a peak fourth-tier, possibly fight against Number One?"
"Yeah, Number One beat him up. He's been annoyed with this guy for a long time."
"Beat him up!"
Immediately, angry voices could be heard from the audience.
Only Tian Ran and Tan Ningshuang, who came out of Zhennanguan with Lin Feng, were praying for Sima Xian. The two of them knew about Lin Feng's deeds in Zhennanguan.
That's an invincible being among those of the same level, with no record of defeat.
Faced with Sima Xian's words, Lin Feng didn't want to waste any more words and directly looked at the referee beside him and said, "I'm ready, let's begin."
"start."
As the referee finished speaking, Sima Xian, just like in previous battles, quickly closed the distance between the two, since once a priest is brought close, his attack and defense are almost zero.
To everyone's surprise, Lin Feng didn't even flinch when faced with Sima Xian's sudden attack.
Seeing this, Sima Xian grinned and said, "Take this!"
He immediately grabbed the staff and used it like a stick, smashing it down on Lin Feng's head. But just when Sima Xian thought he had won, he saw Lin Feng slowly raise his hand and firmly grasp the staff in his hand.
"How is that possible!"
Hearing the fear in Sima Xian's voice, Lin Feng said calmly, "Nothing is impossible."
As he spoke, to everyone's astonishment, Lin Feng suddenly swung his arm, sending Sima Xian and the stick in his hand flying. They crashed heavily into the protective shield and fell unconscious.
Seeing this, Lin Feng walked off the field, leaving the crowd speechless.
No one expected that Lin Feng would defeat Sima Xian with just one move, and without even using his spiritual power.
They knew Lin Feng was strong, but no one expected that he would win with just a casual wave of his hand.
After a long pause, the referee finally came to his senses and announced, "Match One, Number One wins!"
The next two days.
Because Lin Feng defeated Sima Xian with an invincible attitude, in the subsequent matches, every priest who encountered him would immediately admit defeat.

Therefore, Lin Feng rightfully became the number one in the Priest Temple.
As for the second place, it naturally belongs to Sima Xian.
To Lin Feng's surprise, the third place went to the youngest contestant, Tian Ran.
Tan Ningshuang came in fourth place.
"Alright everyone, the Priest Temple Individual Tournament has now concluded. After collecting your top ten rewards, remember to head to the finals check-in point to draw lots before 8:00 AM tomorrow."
As for the rewards for the top ten, Lin Feng had no shortage of secret techniques and weapons, so he simply chose a decent defensive inner armor.
Walking back to the hotel, Alicia said with slight disappointment, "I thought this place, which gathers geniuses from the entire Holy Demon Continent, would have a suitable successor."
"I didn't expect that there wouldn't be a single priest's temple among the six great temples—"
"Don't worry, the Priest Temple has a hard time recruiting geniuses. Anyone with talent will be given priority to other temples. It's not expected that there won't be a suitable successor. In the upcoming competition, we will meet the top ten best people from the six temples. We will definitely find a suitable one then." Looking at Alicia's disappointed face, Lin Feng couldn't help but comfort her.
"Yes, let's hurry back then," Alicia said.
(I'll try to speed up the Demon Hunter Selection Tournament storyline as much as possible, since the male lead is already at level six, there's not much left to write.)
