Chapter 1365: Chapter 895: The Young Priest Candidate Ranking

They didn’t know why Wu Chen was here, nor did they know the relationship between Wu Chen and Lin Feng.

All they could do was be secretly shocked and make random guesses.

The Junior Officer selection of the Tianming Star Witch Clan, held once every five years, was imminent.

During this time, the Tianming Holy City and the Nine Great Guardian Cities were bustling with activity, as many witch prodigies in seclusion emerged, and many who were training outside returned.

Every Junior Officer selection was a grand event for the Tianming Star lineage, and a grand event for the younger generation of the Witch Clan.

Although only one Junior Officer is selected each time, countless young witch prodigies still flock forward.

Because becoming a Junior Officer would allow them to become the true core of the Tianming Star Witch Clan lineage and completely change their destiny, to study the Witch Clan’s forbidden witchcraft.

And this time’s Junior Officer selection saw the emergence of many highly reputed prodigies, with high popularity throughout the entire Tianming Star Witch Clan, considered by many clan members as promising candidates.

In fact, some enthusiastic individuals, based on subjective judgment, as well as reputation within the clan, compiled a Junior Officer Candidate List.

This list ranked a hundred of the most talented prodigies in the clan by potential, from first to hundredth place.

Each of these hundred people was a rarity among people, paragons of excellence.

Although this list was just a pastime for some enthusiasts, it accurately ranked the strongest talents of the Tianming Star Witch Clan lineage.

Everyone knew that the winner of this Junior Officer selection must be among these hundred people.

And the name Wu Chen also entered this Junior Officer Candidate List, prestigiously ranking seventy-eighth.

This ranking may not seem high, but compared to the endless number of witch prodigies, it was already very high.

This was also due to Wu Chen’s consecutive defeats of dozens of witch prodigies and killing Wu Mo, which created his reputation; otherwise, it would have been impossible to make the list.

Coincidentally, Wu Tianyu also ranked on the list, even higher than Lin Feng, placed fifty-third.

...

On this day, Lin Feng left the Earth Spirit Tower, since the Junior Officer selection date was fast approaching, he naturally wanted to gather some information in advance.

Of course, he left in the guise of Wu Chen, with the Devouring Battle Soul once again entering Wu Chen’s body, leading his physique.

As for the two battle souls of his clone, they communicated with his mind and naturally wouldn’t reject Lin Feng.

Black Brilliance City had become somewhat desolate, as many people had gone to Tianming Holy City, where the Junior Officer selection would be held.

Lin Feng, in Black Brilliance City, inquired a bit and learned the specifics of the upcoming Junior Officer selection.

This Junior Officer selection would take place three days later, at the Holy Witch Square in Tianming Holy City.

As for how the selection would be conducted and what events it would include, it varied each time, and they would have to see the situation then.

Having a rough understanding, Lin Feng returned to his residence, with three days remaining, not needing to hurry.

He had also heard of the so-called Junior Officer Candidate List, knowing those were the powerful rivals he had to surpass to stand out.

This time, the three contenders with the highest acclaim in the Junior Officer selection were Lin Feng’s main focus.

These three were Wu Renwang ranked first, Wu Ma ranked second, and Wu Youlan ranked third.

In terms of strength and talent, these three were unmatched throughout the Tianming Star; each had a special physique and extremely powerful battle souls.

The first-ranking Wu Renwang not only had a special physique but also possessed a powerful twin battle soul, with extraordinary talent.

For such talented people, Lin Feng did not dare to underestimate, needing to be on full alert.

Time passed quickly, and three days were gone in a flash.

Early in the morning, just before the sunrise, Lin Feng left his residence and headed for Tianming Holy City.

Black Brilliance City was a Guardian City of Tianming Holy City, so it was very close to Tianming Holy City, and without any incident, Lin Feng soon arrived at Tianming Holy City, heading straight to Holy Witch Square.

Tianming Holy City was enormous, comparable to Sky Moon Country in size, and Holy Witch Square was also vast, spanning over two hundred miles, paved entirely with a kind of bluestone rock.

By the time Lin Feng arrived, the entire Holy Witch Square was already teeming with people, a bustling sea of tens of millions.

Looking around, it was a dense crowd of people, endless in sight.

"Look, that’s Wu Chen, the newly risen top genius!"

"I heard he killed Wu Mo, his battle power is extremely formidable!"

"He was on the Junior Officer Candidate List, albeit at seventy-eighth, but still a hot contestant!"

"This person practices Demon Technique, I heard he’s terrifying, possessing unrivaled power among peers in Black Brilliance City!"

Lin Feng’s arrival immediately drew a lot of attention, with discussions spreading. People from Tianming Holy City and the other Eight Guardian Cities didn’t know Wu Chen, but most people from Black Brilliance City recognized him.

After all, the last battle in the Martial Arts Arena had almost spread throughout the whole Black Brilliance City.

Lin Feng surveyed the square and then stood silently at its edge, waiting for the selection to begin.

The higher-ups of the Witch Clan had not yet arrived, so the selection had not started.

He had great confidence in this Junior Officer selection, as the Witch Clan always valued talent, potential, and combat power over cultivation.

Of course, the Witch Clan’s Junior Officer selection was only for those in the Martial Emperor Realm; only those with Martial Emperor Realm cultivation were eligible to participate.

As time slowly passed, more and more people gathered at Holy Witch Square. Wu Tianyu had also arrived at the square, surrounded by a group, exuding an extraordinary presence.
