The extremely rich power of faith in the Blessed Palace almost made Chen Rui unable to hold back. One must know that stealing a bite here was more than one or two days in an ordinary city.
However, this was in a territory kingdom. Although the power of this kingdom seemed to be weaker than the kingdoms of King Octopus, Mirage, Lich King, and others that Chen Rui had encountered before, and it seemed to be a powerhouse who was enlightened by a newly promoted kingdom, a kingdom was still a kingdom. With Chen Rui's current strength, he was definitely not an opponent. Moreover, it was not the time to expose his true strength.
Chen Rui suppressed his thoughts and continued to walk forward. However, the closer he got to the location of the giant angel statue, the more he felt that something was wrong. The power of faith surrounding the angel statue was not emitted by the statue. On the contrary, the statue also faintly revealed a special devouring power that slowly absorbed the power of faith.
Since the speed of absorption was not fast, and the power of faith that came from nowhere was endless, the statue was always wrapped in a high concentration of faith, like an invisible cocoon.
Chen Rui was puzzled. At this time, he had walked the stone steps, and there was a huge square in front of him. The ground of the square was paved with smooth and square stone slabs, and the giant angel statue was standing in the middle of the square. The statue had handsome facial features and a solemn expression. It was holding a long sword in its right hand and a shield in its left hand. There were twelve wings on its back, and it exuded a faint sacred aura that made people have the urge to worship it.
As he noticed the changes in the power of faith, this seemingly sacred aura seemed very strange to Chen Rui.
At the end of the square was a quaint hall with many small buildings behind it. It was one of the three main peaks of the Holy Mountain of Light, the Blessed Palace.
Chen Rui followed Eliza and Paul into the square. When he passed by the giant angel statue, the data that suddenly emerged from the [Analytical Eyes] shocked him.
Race: Unable to determine!
Comprehensive Strength Assessment: Unable to determine!
[Analysis]: Extremely dangerous!
Ever since Chen Rui entered the six-star evolution stage, this was the first time that he had encountered an object that he could not judge. Furthermore, the object was this lifeless statue!
With his current perception, even without < Analytical Eyes >, he could judge the opponent's level. However, his S + + level spirit power didn't detect this giant sculpture at all. He only sensed the abnormality of the faith power previously. If it weren't for the skill of < Analytical Eyes >, he definitely wouldn't know that the sculpture had such terrifying power.
What was this angel sculpture? War machine? Or rather, the inside of it …
Chen Rui took a few deep breaths and quickly put away the shock in his eyes. He looked around in amazement and exclaimed softly.
Eliza was not suspicious. The statue of the Cherub was the symbol of Blessed Peak. Many people would be attracted by the statue's grandeur and holy aura when they first came here, exclaiming in admiration.
It didn't take long for the group to pass through the square and enter the Blessed Palace.
In the palace, Chen Rui finally met one of the three magnates of Holy Mountain, the Patriarch and Saintess Udora.
The first impression that Udora gave to Chen Rui was ethereal as if she was otherworldly. Her independent temperament exuded a faint ethereal power, making people involuntarily have a feeling of looking up to her.
In fact, he really needed to look up to this saintess because Udora's figure was extremely slender. Her height was even higher than Chen Rui. She wore a snow-white robe, and her light blue long hair was slightly curled. Her blue eyes were covered with a layer of translucent white gauze. One could faintly see her beautiful face that seemed to be carved.
For some reason, when Chen Rui saw Udora, he had a vague sense of familiarity. He didn't know if he had seen her before. He also didn't know if it was because of "Arthur's" consciousness or Chen Rui's own memory. He couldn't remember for a while.
However, his attention quickly shifted to the data of < Analytical Eyes >.
Race: Human
Comprehensive Strength Assessment: SS- (S + +)
Physique: S + (S), Strength: S + (S), Spirit: SS- (S + +), Speed: S + (S).
[Analysis]: Light attribute, fire attribute. Danger level: Very dangerous.
This data was very strange. Although it was the first time that Chen Rui saw the level of SS, he could understand that it should be the level of a kingdomized powerhouse. S + + was the level between the peak stage of the Demon Overlord and kingdomized. Chen Rui's current spirit power was S + +.
The strange thing was that most powerhouses hid their strength. For example, Chen Rui's S + level strength was hidden as C, and the < Analytical Eyes > should show "C (S +)". However, Saintess Udora was the opposite. On the surface, her strength seemed to be a kingdomized powerhouse, but in fact, she had not reached the true kingdomized level.
What caused this situation? Is it the statue of the 12-winged angel outside? Or this temple?
While Chen Rui was thinking, Eliza in front of him had already saluted Udora, "Teacher, I have brought Paul and Richard."
Chen Rui saluted together with Paul. The saintess looked at Paul, nodded, and praised, "You are worthy of being Pasari's genius disciple, the famous young talent of the Long Huang Empire. You are less than 30 years old, and you are about to break through the first small realm of Pseudo-Saint. In other words, you have the hope to break through in this selection. If this continues, you will enter the true Saint level soon."
This voice sounded distant and illusory at first, but it was gentle and moving when listened carefully. It made people feel intimate.
Paul quickly said a few modest words, and Udora said, "You don't have to be too modest. I am very optimistic about your potential. I believe that you will shine in the selection this time. If you can become a temple knight, are you willing to become the guardian knight of the Holy Peak?"
Every temple had an exclusive guardian knight, and only temple knights were qualified to become guardian knights. Joining a temple naturally also represented the choice of side.
Paul had already made a decision when he was in Garton City. He bowed and said, "Paul Loman is willing to become a member of the Holy Peak."
"I am very happy with the choice you have made," the saintess nodded slightly, "However, this choice will make your teacher unhappy."
Pasari had always been neutral among the three major temples and did not join any faction. If he knew that Paul, the heir he valued, had chosen the Holy Peak without his consent, he would definitely be very angry.
Paul lowered his head, "I will explain to the teacher. In any case, I will stick to my choice."
"I have seen your determination, future guardian knight." The saintess waved her hand gently, and a small box slowly flew in front of Paul, "You give this to him for me, maybe he will not be angry with you."
Paul did not ask what it was, and respectfully took it with both hands.
Eudora's gaze fell on Chen Rui, "Your name is Richard?"
"Yes, Your Holiness." Chen Rui showed a terrified expression and lowered his head.
"I heard from Elisa that you have the Soul Whisper that only the special elites of the elves have, and can control any magical beast? You have also subdued a thunderbird? "
"Your Holiness, I … I, to avoid offending you, I did not bring the thunderbird. My Soul Whisper, actually … any magical beast, no, sorry …" Chen Rui's tone was agitated, and he seemed a little incoherent, forming a sharp contrast with Paul's steadiness.
"Don't be nervous." The saintess' voice was gentler, "If you really have the familiar ability like Elisa said, I will give you the best stage to display your ability, if … you are willing."
"Your Holiness, I am … Of course I am willing!" Chen Rui quickly nodded.
"There will be a new assessment for this year's cavalry battle. Richard, as a follower, you will also have the opportunity to fight. I look forward to your and Paul's performance at that time."
Both Chen Rui and Paul were surprised. A follower also had to fight? However, both of them still bowed to show that they understood.
The saintess' summon ended, and Elisa brought the two down from the Holy Mountain. Looking back at the giant statue that should be the Cherub Raphael, Chen Rui quickly thought about it. Although he had only seen the tip of the iceberg of the Holy Mountain's power, it was enough to make him vigilant. The Holy Mountain contained a huge secret and power that was far beyond imagination. It seemed that some steps of the original plan had to be adjusted. No matter what, he had to get the Snow Dallet.
Elisa sent the two to the foot of the mountain, and blinked her big eyes at Chen Rui, "Richard, you must work hard!"
Saying that, she nodded to Paul and skipped up the mountain.
Paul looked at Chen Rui with a thoughtful look, "Richard? What are you thinking about? "
Chen Rui scratched his head. "I was wondering why I didn't see Miss Miranda."
Paul smiled and patted him on the shoulder. "Didn't Her Holiness say that? This time, there will be new content added to the cavalry battle, and you will also have to participate. Don't let your imagination run wild and focus on preparing. His Majesty is looking forward to our performance. "
"Yes, for Lord Paul and for Miss Miranda!" Chen Rui was invigorated. He waved his fist and shouted in his heart, "For Madam Inni, the head of intelligence!"
The first segment of the Temple Knight Selection, the individual battle of martial skills, had finally ended.
Paul fought his way through the fifth group and won first place in the group. He entered the finals, but he encountered strong opponents in the round-robin stage of the five-man finals and was defeated by two of them. In the end, he came in third place.
As one of the five people who participated in the finals of the first segment, Paul obtained the qualification to directly participate in the second segment of the cavalry battle.
Just as Saintess Eudora said, the content of the cavalry battle this time had changed. The original cavalry battle competition was each participant riding a horse to attack each other. Now, it was changed to the participants riding on a chariot of five horses and using special magic javelins to attack each other from a distance. Each person had 30 javelins, and the one who hit the most opponent would win.
The participants could designate an assistant to control the horse. If there was no suitable assistant, the chief examiner would arrange for a Knight of Light as an assistant. Chen Rui finally understood why the Saintess said that he, as a follower, could also be useful.
