"I am a formal dragon worshiper." Vian, the great shaman, took off the Medusa badge from his chest and waved his hand lightly. A jumping purple light flashed by, and a small mountain-like giant earth dragon appeared in the vast hall. The sleeping earth dragon slightly opened its eyes, and a look of contempt appeared in its huge dragon eyes.

  Liu Zhen was startled and took a few steps back, pulling Helen with him. The sharp teeth of the earth dragon were covered in meat residue, making his scalp tingle. Guo Guo jumped down from Liu Zhen's head and quickly burrowed into his arms, only revealing one small eye as it gazed at the terrifying earth dragon. Helen's acidic fish eagle was also frightened and flew up into the sky, leaving a pile of bird droppings that landed on Liu Zhen's shoulder with a "plop".

  "Trust my vision." The great shaman smiled warmly, stepped down from the high seat, and gently stroked the belly of his sub-dragon familiar. In front of the massive earth dragon, the stout-bodied turtle man instantly became a small bean next to a giant cabbage.

  The dragon on the ground let out a loud roar under the caress of Dasa, and a pungent smell of mouth odor suddenly filled the entire space.

  "Trust my eyes, His Highness Prince Richard is also a Wyrm Knight, his judgment is almost the same as mine. This Piggu tribe's apprentice priest, he indeed has residual but very pure dragon breath on him!" The Great Shaman's gaze was like jumping oil lamps, scanning over the still whispering Rod Priests, who gradually calmed down from their commotion under his gaze.

  "Gentlemen, if Richard's body did not retain the pure and true dragon breath, how could I let a lying priest enter the sacred temple?" Prince Richard also stepped down from the steps and stood beside the great shaman.

  The worshippers were making a great effort to control their desire to chat, staring fixedly at Liu Zhen. Their gaze was like that of people preparing to devour a delicious piece of cheese or roasted suckling pig.

  "Richard, tell me, which lineage is your dragon pet from?" Vian the Great Shaman put his earth dragon back into the Medusa badge and continued to hibernate, smiling at Liu Zhen.

  "My Familiar is a young Fire-element Dragon Beast." Liu Zhen's eyes didn't even blink as he started fabricating wildly.

  "Fire-type dragon!" The discussion among the worshipers is trending again.

  "Unfortunately, my dragon beast has fallen." Liu Zhen was shaken by these familiar lines that had been rehearsed to perfection, and a crystal tear quietly slid down from the edge of his face.

  "Wah~~~~" The worshippers all sighed and stomped their feet, as if their demonic beast had escaped.

  "Dead?" Even Veian's face showed a huge loss; "This... how is this possible?"

  "It was as if a natural storm had swallowed it, and the boundless giant waves made it fall into the bottomless deep sea while sheltering me." Liu Zhen knew that words couldn't be said at this time, and it was best to stop at the right moment. The best explanation now was tears, so his tears came pouring out.

  "What a... what a pity." Vian's face was filled with deep disappointment and regret, his expressions converging together.

  "But now I have another magical pet." Liu Zhen shook Fruit's ear, pulling it out of his chest and proudly showing it to the great shaman and the priests.

  "My monster is Acid Fish Eagle." Helen also had no choice but to stand up with a forced smile.

  "Hmph..." Several pale-faced priests couldn't help but turn their heads and laugh, covering their mouths while doing so, looking quite pained.

  Wei An was stunned, staring straight at the high-raised buttocks of the snow leopard.

  Weiyang Dasama's lips moved for half a day, but he couldn't say a word. A keen-eyed ritualist saw the mouth shape of the adult, which was constantly repeating the three words "defeated family son".

  "...We... want to apply for the title of War Sacrifice..." Little Fox saw the atmosphere was very depressing, and quickly came to the rescue, trying to ease it, but she mustered up her courage to say something that seemed so powerless, like a mute cicada humming.

  This soft and weak, inadequate words made Weian suddenly look much older, the great shaman sighed and sat back in his own seat.

  "The Dragon Worship has lost its dragon and turned into a Calamity Beast Worship, a grand soul worship that only has a single Acidic Fish Eagle as a magical pet. This...this is simply a joke of the heavens!" Vian, the Great Shaman, glared at Liu Zhen and Hailen with a scowl, muttering to himself for half a day before continuing in a resentful tone: "I originally received this news and thought that our Northeastern Province would be able to add another seat to the Kingdom's Twelve Main Worships, but I didn't expect it to end up like this! You two have disappointed me too much! Can the Calamity Beast bring calamity to our enemies? Can the Acidic Fish Eagle defeat its enemies with bird droppings after spitting out its pitifully small amount of acid? The Temple of Withered Gods will become a laughingstock for the other temples in the kingdom, and this joke will be passed down for thousands of years!"

  Helen bowed her head deeply, fidgeting with the hem of her clothes, and tears sparkled in the corners of her eyes.

  "Helen, are you going to apply for the trial of war sacrifice?" Liu Zhen's beautiful snake-like ancestor "swam" over, stroking Helen's hair and asking softly.

  "En." Helen's head didn't dare to lift up, but her response was still firm and resolute.

  "But you also know, your demons can't help you pass the trials of war sacrifice, I'm telling the truth." The beautiful snake lovingly stroked the little fox's hair and said in a low voice.

  "Chui Pei-shan and Hai Leng have naturally evolved the 'Blessed War Hymn'! She should automatically advance to become a war priestess!" Liu Zhen exclaimed.

  As soon as this sentence came out, the eyes of the originally depressed and dejected Dasa Mani suddenly lit up.

  "Finally some good news today!" Vian nodded, "Helen, show the adults the 'Blessed Battle Hymn' of natural evolution."

  Helen wiped away the tears from her eyes, and the stirring sound of war songs suddenly echoed through the hall.

  "Without the aid of ritual instruments, without any amplification from magical beast cores, such an achievement is enough to make even the most fastidious master proud!" The eyes of the Great Shaman Vian softened significantly.

  "Lord Zidan......" The beautiful snake woman was also stunned, looking at Helen in a daze and then glancing at the great shaman.

  "Her war priest title, naturally evolved and automatically crowned, Cui Peishan, give your beloved disciple a white priest robe!" Wei An the great shaman smiled: "She has already received the protection of the god of war, our priest is not necessarily non-magical creatures, let alone she's still young, must be an adult before serving in the army, who knows, by that time, she might have evolved into a sceptre priest! Hehe......"

  "What about me?" Liu Zhen felt completely ignored.

  "Are you...?" Wei An's eyes widened as he looked at Liu, his tone turning cold. "Do you also want to advance to the War Sacrifice? Have you naturally evolved too?"

  "No." Liu Zhen thought to himself, it's not that he can't bear the sight of his own "General's Order" and "Hair Like Blood", because Helen had warned him not to sing, and he had long since put them all down.

  "Richard, stop messing around." The beautiful snake also brought out the dignity of her master: "Your demon beast is impossible to pass the trial assessment!"

  "I don't think so." Liu Zhenhong replied stubbornly but politely, "I believe my demon beast is the best partner."

  Guo Guo immediately jumped out with a "whoosh" sound, stood on the ground, puffed out his big belly, and tried to strike a majestic pose.

  "A spirited young fellow!" Vein Great Shaman said with a tone that was neither praise nor belittlement, and even raised his thumb.

  "Richard..." Cui Peishan didn't turn around, but she could feel her boring colleagues snickering and shaking their heads. She forced a bitter smile and stared at Liu Zhen's extremely ugly face: "Stubborn kid, then you go ahead and demonstrate your innate soul singer's spiritual battle song to the esteemed guests first..."

  Liu Zhenhong cleared his throat, opened his mouth and started singing. The sunlight shining down on him from the dome was like a spotlight on stage.

  The song came to an end.

  Weian Dasaman led the applause, and someone whistled. Cui Peishan's elegant face was covered with a layer of frost.

  "The sound is so passionate!" The great shaman was also amused: "However, your singing power is really weak to the point of being pitiful! Compared to your mentor, your singing power is like the difference between a firefly and the moon!"

  "Who is the Moon?" Liu Zhen asked with feigned ignorance.

  "Haha......" Several of the priests around him were already rubbing their bellies, such a naturally talented soul singer was simply... blind to the eyes of the war god.

  The priests hastily and sincerely begged the war god for forgiveness in their hearts, how could they think of such a great rebellion, challenging the divine right?

  "It's indeed a worthy sacrifice of the Pigu tribe......" Wei An, the great shaman, looked at this "Dragon Sacrifice" with a sigh. "Your question is indeed full of Pigu tribe's characteristics! We won't discuss this question any further......"

  "...you can get the title of Soul Festival, but your thin "Song Power" is not enough to get the title of War Festival in my opinion, so..." Vein Great Shaman pushed his hat and collected his smile, saying seriously: "Mr. Richard from Bog Village, you can wear a red robe to prove your identity, you have the right to embroider the dragon beast pattern on your sleeve to prove that you "used to be" a Dragon Festival... however..."

  "...... I still advise you not to do this, because I don't want the entire Withered Temple of Saren to become a laughing stock!"

  "Wait a minute..."

  Liu Zhenhong raised his head, which had been listening to the sermon all along, and a pair of cold lights shot out from his seemingly respectful eyes, directly onto the high-ranking Dasa.
