As the young master of the Seagod Temple, he must have his own confidants, especially the shadow guards, who will accompany him through the ancient battlefield.

The Great Elder is the most rule-abiding person in the Temple of Poseidon, and he regards Poseidon's words as imperial decrees. As long as Lord Poseidon has no problem with Shi Zhixing's identity as the young master who was parachuted in, then he has no problem with that.

Therefore, during these days when Lord Poseidon was away, the Great Elder stayed with Shi Zhixing to assist him.

Shi Zhixing took the great elder's advice to heart, so he paid close attention to the selection of people this time.

Shi Zhixing stood on the stone platform of the Tianshui Pavilion training ground, looking at the hundreds of relatively young people standing in an orderly manner below.

There are one hundred attendants, all of whom have special skills and are considered special students. Their cultivation is above the fairyland. There are five hundred shadow guards, all of whom have cultivation at the third to fifth level of the fairyland.

The fifth-grade immortal is the best among the shadow guards, but only one of them came, and he was forced to come by the great elder.

Shi Zhixing's soul power thread silently spread to the entire training ground, and he could clearly see the people present, including those with or without emotional fluctuations, those who respected him, those who were curious about him, those who ignored him, and those who despised him.

Shi Zhixing saw all of this. He knew that there were many powerful people among them. Because he was parachuted in, they were dissatisfied and contemptuous of him. Shi Zhixing had no interest in showing his strength in front of these people to tame them.

He didn't have the time, nor was he in the mood. The first thing he had to do right now was to improve his own strength, make himself stronger, and be able to protect his delicate flower.

Instead of just waiting like now.

Shi Zhixing took a step forward and glanced at everyone. He opened his thin lips slightly, and his voice was not loud but indifferent and cold, and it was clearly heard by everyone.

"Everyone present here must have received some basic information about me from the Great Elder, so I will not say more. My first selection criterion is a two-way choice. So, please choose, leave, or stay!"

After he finished speaking, hundreds of people in the training ground began to whisper. It was the first time they heard the term "two-way choice". They could actually choose their master!

Most people were eager to take action after hearing this, but they did not dare to do so because of the presence of the great elder.

Ying Hai, the only fifth-grade realm cultivator present, had his eyes flickering after hearing Shi Zhixing's words, and then he resolutely chose to leave. Before the young master came into being, he already had an island master to follow, and since the young master said so, he would not be polite.

I guess the Great Elder wouldn't blame him for leaving.

When the Great Elder saw the shadow guard he specially selected leave, his mouth twitched a few times, but in the end he said nothing. The young master can do whatever he wants, and he respects the young master's ideas.

When the others saw Ying Hai leave and the Great Elder didn't say anything, they began to become bolder and many people chose to leave one after another.

These people had already decided in their hearts which island master they wanted to follow, and compared to the parachuted young master whose bloodline was unknown and whose cultivation was not high, they made the decision immediately.

One third of the people left at once. Seeing that the new young master and the great elder did not seem angry, more people dared to make choices and more people left.

People tend to follow the crowd. When they see many people leaving, those who are not determined will also follow.

The Great Elder's face became increasingly darker, and he wanted to step forward and rebuke these ignorant servants and shadow guards. The Young Master was such a noble person, how could they look down upon him!

Unfortunately, just as the Great Elder was about to say something, he was calmed down by Shi Zhixing's soul power.

In the end, less than one-third of the people chose to stay, with more than a hundred shadow guards and more than thirty servants.

Shi Zhixing saw that there were still dozens of restless people left, and the arrogance and contempt hidden in their eyes could not escape his soul power.

Ever since his bloodline of the Mermaid King became 100% pure, he could instinctively tell the level of loyalty of the people around him. The loyalty of these dozens of people was basically negative.

Their identities are obvious; someone wants to place people around him.

It is said that there are no fish in clear water, but he doesn't have time to fish now.

The ancient battlefield will open in a few months. He is a newcomer, so it would be better for him to have someone loyal to him follow him into the ancient battlefield.

This can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.

As for the remaining people, Shi Zhixing raised his hand and pointed out those with negative loyalty one by one and asked them to leave.

Shadow 13 was the person pointed out by Shi Zhixing. When he was asked to leave, the contempt and anger in his eyes could hardly be hidden. He could not leave because the task assigned to him by the island owner had not yet begun. He wanted to question him, but when he saw the people pointed out one by one by the new young master, he swallowed the words.

Then his face turned extremely ugly. They all knew the people who were pointed out privately. All of them had already recognized other island owners as their masters while they were still in the training camp. They also came to participate in the selection of the young master's confidants today. What this meant was self-evident.

Many of the people picked out by Shi Zhixing couldn't hold back and revealed their hidden emotions, which were all seen by the Great Elder. Now his frown relaxed.

The young master is really powerful, with a pair of sharp eyes. No evil spirits can escape his eyes.

Shi Zhixing does things without dragging his feet, and if he lets you go, he will never let you stay. The more than 30 people who were singled out looked at each other in confusion, and since they had been discovered, they could only leave in shame.

The matter cannot be made bigger, otherwise the Great Elder will identify the island owner behind them, and they will definitely die.

But if they were driven away like this, they would never be reused in the future. If they thought about it clearly, those people who were so arrogant just now left in grief.

There were still twenty attendants and eighty shadow guards left, and Shi Zhixing stayed behind.

There were twenty attendants, each of whom was good at his own chores. Shi Zhi selected the most loyal attendant named Huang Shi and let him lead the remaining nineteen.

Huangshi's eyes showed surprise, and he immediately stepped forward and bowed. His abilities were all average and balanced, making him the most inconspicuous. However, no one knew that he was actually very good at coordinating various things, but he just didn't have the opportunity to show it.

But now he never expected that the young master would directly give him the position of the general manager of Tianshui Pavilion.

Huang Shi wiped away his tears and swore that he would definitely assist the young master in managing Tianshui Pavilion and would not let the young master down.

The Great Elder stood quietly aside, with satisfaction in his eyes. He was worthy of being the destined disciple of Lord Poseidon. He had a way of judging and employing people, so he was assured.

It’s not the quantity but the quality of your subordinates that matters!

There are eighty shadow guards. Shi Zhixing also selected four with high loyalty and high cultivation as his close shadows. The rest of the shadow guards were divided into four teams managed by four shadows.

As luck would have it, the cultivation levels of the four shadows were the only four among the eighty people who had reached the fourth-grade immortal realm, and no one was dissatisfied with this division.

Shadow guards have no names, only numbers, and only those who become shadows will be given names by their masters.
