Chapter 1379: Chapter 902: The Final Selection
"Both of you, attack me at the same time!"
The High Priest spoke, and then he swept his sleeves to the left and right, sending out two waves of energy, instantly sweeping Lin Feng and the Wuman King away, to opposite ends of the Holy Witch Square, nearly four hundred miles apart.
The two of them floated in the sky, nearly a hundred feet high, their eyes still locked onto each other.
In the next moment, they moved simultaneously!
"Rise!"
"Heavenly Sword Technique!"
Both shouted almost at the same time, each executing the Heavenly Sword Technique, and in an instant, the entire Holy Witch Square transformed with wind and clouds.
All tiny debris flew up, and because both were at the edge of the plaza, the outer range they exhibited affected the plaza’s central area.
As far as two hundred miles around the Wuman King, countless rubble, fallen leaves, and even many tiles from buildings were all mobilized.
Countless debris burst forth with dazzling brilliance, unleashing astonishing Sword Qi.
Afterward, this debris transformed into numerous sharp swords, shooting into the sky, piercing through space, accompanied by massive momentum, attacking the High Priest.
The Wuman King’s Heavenly Sword Technique was exceptionally powerful, far surpassing anyone before by dozens of times, even ten times stronger than Wu Ma’s Heavenly Sword Technique.
Of course, part of the reason was that the Wuman King’s cultivation was higher, naturally enhancing the power of the Heavenly Sword Technique significantly.
But if one excluded this factor, the level of the Wuman King’s Heavenly Sword Technique also surpassed Wu Ma.
However, at this moment, no one paid attention to the Wuman King because everyone was captivated by Lin Feng.
On the other side, it seemed as if the earth lost its gravity, with countless objects within three or four hundred miles flying upwards.
Rubble, leaves, wood chips, shop signs, tiles, and even some fragile buildings shattered into pieces.
Endless objects flew into the sky, covering it densely, emitting radiant sword light.
"Go!"
Lin Feng pointed out with his finger, countless objects flashed with light, shooting explosively towards the High Priest.
Countless objects transformed into countless sharp swords, like a vast sword rain, the Sword Power soaring to the sky, the momentum grand, forming a storm of swords, enveloping a part of the space.
Although Lin Feng’s cultivation was much lower than the Wuman King’s, the power of the Heavenly Sword Technique was nonetheless much stronger, making it clear who was superior.
Everyone was astonished, Wu Chen’s Heavenly Sword Technique’s power was unexpectedly stronger than the Wuman King’s!
How high was Wu Chen’s talent? To cultivate the Heavenly Sword Technique to such a degree within three days, it simply left Wu Qiong and Wu Tianyu far behind.
What did this signify?
It signified that the Wuman King was going to be defeated, and Wu Chen had won!
The position of Junior Officer was very likely going to be taken by Wu Chen.
"Haha! Both are good, both have reached the Great Achievement Realm!"
A light laugh came from the High Priest’s mouth, then he waved his sleeve, and the attacks from the Wuman King and Lin Feng vanished instantly.
The scene calmed down, but the Wuman King’s face turned dark, as black as a pot’s bottom.
He was defeated, how could this be possible?
The Wuman King roared inside, how could Wu Chen, with only Third Layer Martial Emperor Realm cultivation, have such strong talent? How could he cultivate the Heavenly Sword Technique to such an advanced level?
This seemed impossible!
The Wuman King wasn’t afraid of losing Spirit Crystals, no matter how many Spirit Crystals were just external things for him.
What he feared was losing the position of Junior Officer because of this.
The scene was silent, with everyone looking at the High Priest, waiting to see how the High Priest would decide!
Both Wu Chen and the Wuman King had passed all three trials, following the rules, both could become Junior Officers.
However, each selection of Junior Officer only chooses one person.
Wu Chen took first place in the second trial, and again took first place in this third trial, clearly outperforming the Wuman King.
So next, Wu Chen was likely to be directly chosen as Junior Officer.
Lin Feng appeared calm, his gaze also fixed on the High Priest, his performance surpassing everyone else, he believed that if the High Priest didn’t play favorites, he would undoubtedly choose him.
On the viewing platform, the High Priest showed a contemplative expression, then turned his head to look at the four priests beside him; the two shared a glance, afterward the four priests nodded.
Clearly, the two priests were silently exchanging their opinions.
Moments later, the High Priest’s gaze turned, looking at Lin Feng.
"Wu Chen’s talent is exceptional, his results outstanding, after deliberation by myself and the four priests, he becomes the ultimate victor, awarded the position of Junior Officer of our clan!"
The High Priest’s voice was extremely loud, like the sound of thunder across the heavens and earth, reverberating throughout the Holy Witch Square, throughout the Tianming Holy City, throughout the surrounding Nine Great Guardian Cities, spreading in all directions.
The Holy Witch Square fell silent, the ten core cities of the Witch Clan were all quiet, everyone heard the High Priest’s voice.
The High Priest was announcing the final results of the Junior Officer selection to all clan members.
The crowd on the square stared at Lin Feng, their eyes showing admiration, even jealousy; the position of Junior Officer had unexpectedly been taken by Wu Chen, an outcome that no one could have predicted before the selection.
However, few could be happy about it, they could hardly believe this iron fact.
These few were Wu Tianyu, Wu Qiong, and Elder Wu Yuan.
All three had conflicts or grudges with Wu Chen, now that Wu Chen had become Junior Officer, his status would surpass theirs, directly pressing down on them.
Even though Wu Yuan was a regular elder in the clan, compared to the Junior Officer of the clan, in both status and rank, he was clearly a head lower.
