Chapter 15 Are we also part of your play?

An eerie silence fell over the entire arena.

The teacup in Sheng Yue's hand fell to the ground with a "clatter".

Ling Xiao's jaw almost dislocated.

Li Zhengzhi's mustache curled into an exaggerated arc.

The onlookers were stunned; some even rubbed their eyes.

"Fuck!
"Starting with zero frames, this dog food (a term for public displays of affection) is impossible to guard against!"

Are we also part of your play?

"Coach, I want to learn this!"

Cai'er casually put her veil back on and turned to leave with elegant and composed steps.

Her cool voice finally came late, just as her figure was about to disappear from the audience:

"I surrender."

The referee's mouth gaped open wide enough to fit an egg, and he mechanically raised his hand: "The victor, Moonbeam of the Magic Temple!"

In the center of the arena, Yuehui still maintained the gesture of touching her lips with one hand.

The lingering warmth on his fingertips reminded him of rose petals glistening with morning dew, or the most bouncy pink cherry jelly in summer.

(I wish I could do it again!)

……

In the following days, Cai'er seemed to deliberately avoid everyone's sight.

Whether at the training ground or the hotel, Yuehui was unable to see her again.

Until the day of the final.

When that familiar figure reappeared before everyone, a commotion immediately broke out in the audience.

Cai'er remained veiled, holding a green bamboo staff, and sat quietly in a corner of the spectator stands, as if her astonishing actions that day had never happened.

Moonlight's final opponent is Yang Wenzhao of the Starry Sea Temple—a punitive knight who possesses the Starry Sea Spirit Furnace.

However, to everyone's surprise, the match ended much faster than expected.

Yang Wenzhao's offensive was indeed fierce, but compared to Long Haochen's use of "sacrifice," it put much less pressure on Yuehui.

The ordinary "Thunder Shield Defense" alone was enough to withstand Yang Wenzhao's fierce attack.

"Thunderbolt! Lightning Strike!"

As Yuehui's sword pointed, nine bolts of lightning descended from the sky.

Yang Wenzhao's Spirit Demon-level armor shattered instantly, and he was blasted out of the arena.

"The victor is Moonshine, the Magic Sanctuary!"

The referee's announcement resounded throughout the stadium.

Thus, the champion of this year's Demon Hunter Team Selection Tournament has finally been determined.

With the finals concluded, the selection ceremony for the Demon Hunter team officially began.

Yang Haohan stood on the high platform and said in a loud voice: "Yuehui, as the champion of this selection competition, you can designate a player who is not in the top three to join your team."

Moonlight's gaze fell without hesitation on the corner of the spectator stands: "I choose Assassin's Temple - Cai'er."

The audience immediately erupted in good-natured cheers.

"So, Cai'er," Yang Haohan said, suppressing a smile, turning to the girl in black, "would you be willing to become Moonlight's teammate?"

Cai'er lowered her eyes, her cheeks flushed slightly beneath the veil, and said in a soft but firm voice, "I do."

On the platform, the hall masters could no longer contain their expressions.

Sheng Yue and Li Zhengzhi sat next to each other, but the atmosphere between them was unusually subtle.

"Tsk tsk," Li Zhengzhi raised an eyebrow smugly, "If it weren't for your girl's quick action, our Yuehui might have..."

Sheng Yue slowly adjusted his cuffs: "Cai'er is my great-granddaughter." He glanced sideways at Li Zhengzhi, who had suddenly frozen, "So, what should you call me now?"

Li Zhengzhi's smile froze instantly.

(That old fox... he was actually waiting for me here!)

He opened his mouth, but ultimately turned his head away dejectedly.

Yang Haohan's gaze slowly shifted to the second place, which was his grandson Yang Wenzhao: "Wenzhao, what is your choice?"

"I choose Chen Ying'er from the Soul Temple," Yang Wenzhao said clearly and firmly.

Before he finished speaking, the gazes of the other five temple masters all turned to Chen Hongyu, the temple master of the Soul Temple.

A subtle awkwardness suddenly filled the air.

"These two children grew up together and are engaged," Chen Hongyu explained with a sigh.

Li Zhengzhi lowered his voice and said, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"Don't rush," Chen Hongyu shook his head with a wry smile, "The young couple has been having a fight lately, and Ying'er probably won't agree."

Sure enough, the petite summoner girl in the crowd stomped her foot angrily, her clear voice echoing throughout the entire area: "I disagree!"

Yang Wenzhao gave a helpless bitter smile and had no choice but to turn to Huang Yi, a fifth-tier earth-type mage.

When it was Mu Ning's turn to play as the third-place Assassin Temple, he did not hesitate to choose Duan Yi, who had been eliminated by Moonshine, and voluntarily gave up the position of leader of the Demon Hunter Team to him.

Next up is the most anticipated part: the Demon Hunter Roulette.

Although Li Zhengzhi had already revealed the inside story, Yuehui was not worried about being assigned teammates who were not strong enough, but he was still full of expectations for the team he was about to form—especially the selection of warriors and priests.

As Yang Haohan activated the Demon Hunting Wheel, the results were quickly revealed: Knight Long Haochen and Summoner Chen Ying'er joined the team.

The warrior was Wang Yuanyuan, a female warrior who wielded a giant shield. Her heroic fighting style had already left a deep impression on Yuehui.

The priest is Lu Xi, the only healing priest in this selection competition to reach the fifth rank.

Yuehui was originally worried that she would be assigned to Sima Xian, the Discipline Priest in the original Long Haochen team who only knew how to attack and not how to heal.

But then I thought about it again. My team already has strong offensive capabilities like myself, Cai'er, and Wang Yuanyuan, so it really needs more professional defensive and healing support.

Clearly, the Holy Alliance had taken full account of team balance when assigning teammates to themselves.

After announcing the roster for Moon Glory, Yang Haohan couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.

The configuration of this demon-hunting team is probably unprecedented in the six-thousand-year history of the Holy Alliance.

The lineup of four chosen ones and one descendant of the Giant Spirit God was so impressive that even the high-ranking members of the Holy Alliance, who were used to seeing geniuses, had to be shocked.

The only slightly inferior priest, Lu Xi, was still the only fifth-tier priest in this year's competition.

With the support of the Moonshine team and the focused training from the Priest Temple, they shouldn't fall too far behind.

Such a team is destined to leave a significant mark on the history of the Holy Alliance!
Next up were Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi's teams. This time, there was no behind-the-scenes manipulation; it was all random.

After the first three teams were formed, the fourth Demon Hunter Team was formed, led by Li Xin from the Knights' Temple.

Her teammates happen to be two oddballs in this year's Demon Hunter team: Lin Xin, a mage who can't attack, and Sima Xian, a violent priest who can't heal.

But it must be said that these two oddballs complement each other perfectly.

...

The wheel kept spinning, and one after another, brand-new demon-hunting teams were formed.

As the midday sun filled the hall, the ten demon-hunting teams, numbered from one to ten, were finally all formed.

Yang Haohan gazed at the young people lined up neatly below and solemnly said, "From this moment on, you are comrades-in-arms who will share life and death, partners to whom you can entrust your lives!"

His gaze swept over every young face: "Throughout the history of the Holy Alliance, countless legendary demon-hunting teams have emerged. I hope that one day your names will also be etched in this hall of glory!"

"The entire team will have three days of rest. During this period, each team leader must lead their team members to complete the Demon Hunter Team registration and obtain their unique identification number."

He paused, then added, "In addition, the top sixteen contestants in the selection competition will go to the Holy Alliance Treasure Pavilion three days later at dawn to collect their rewards."

"Disband!"
