"Team 1 and Team 7 are about to decide the winner."
Gandalf didn't respond but looked at the arena and said slowly.
"Unless something unexpected happens, Team 7 should win, and the final match will be between Team 7 and the Holy Envoy of the Mortal World for the first place."
Gway assessed the situation on the arena and made a rough judgment.
"No need for a final match. I've applied for an extra spot from the Sanctuary, so both teams can receive the Blessing of Light," Gandalf quickly said.
"An extra spot?"
Gway paused slightly.
"If we continue, all four spots will go to the Mortal World, and the Judicator of Skyward City also lacks elites. One spot is enough."
Gandalf explained, "Besides, who knows what our Holy Envoy of the Mortal World will do with an extra spot?"
"I understand now."
Gway suddenly realized.
If all the spots were given to one person, it would indeed be detrimental to the development of the Judicator.
After all, the Blessing of Light can significantly enhance a person.
"Announce it right after the match," Gandalf instructed.
"Yes, Bishop!"
Gway nodded.
He looked at the arena, and as expected, after a little over a minute, Team 1 was defeated.
"Team 7 wins!"
Gway announced loudly, "Please, Team 7 and Team 15, come to the viewing platform to receive your rewards!"
"Receive rewards directly, no more matches?"
Hearing the announcement, Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback.
With a hint of doubt in his heart, he walked towards the viewing platform.
Soon, he and Team 7 arrived at the platform.
"This is the certificate for the Blessing of Light. Each of you will receive one. With this certificate, you can go to the Sanctuary to receive the Blessing of Light!"
Gway took out several palm-sized notes and distributed them to the four members of Team 7.
"What about mine?"
Jiang Chen was still pondering.
Gandalf, standing nearby, also took out a note, "Holy Envoy of the Mortal World, I applied for an extra Blessing of Light spot for you."
"An extra spot?"
Jiang Chen looked at the note in Gandalf's hand but didn't take it. Instead, he asked, "Isn't it supposed to be four spots?"
What happened to the four spots promised?
"One spot per person is enough. What do you need so many for? They're useless to you."
Gandalf looked at Jiang Chen, puzzled.
"How could they be useless? Can't I sell them to others?"
This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.
Jiang Chen was immediately displeased.
He was genuinely planning to sell the extra spots to others in the Church.
"Sell?"
Not only Gandalf was stunned.
Everyone else around looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief.
"This Holy Envoy's idea is too whimsical!"
Bai Dingyang was shocked, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Can't I sell it?"
It's my own thing, isn't it only natural to sell it? Why is everyone acting so surprised?
Jiang Chen didn't understand.
"What kind of place is the Church, how can there be such a mercantile attitude?"
Gandalf said sternly, "Besides, even if you wanted to sell the spot, I believe no one would buy it."
He was also relieved that Jiang Chen didn't get the extra spots, or else the Church's image would be tarnished if he really sold them.
"Tch!"
Jiang Chen could only secretly scoff, thinking, "Maybe someone would have bought it before, but now that you've said this, who would dare? What an old fox!"
However...
"Bishop Gandalf, the Judicator of Skyward City originally set four spots for the first place. Even if I don't sell them, you can't just take my spots away, right?" Jiang Chen said with some dissatisfaction.
"I told you, the extra spots are useless to you."
Gandalf was a bit helpless.
"They're useful, I can give them to others!"
Jiang Chen knew it would be difficult to get all four spots, but he had to try.
He said firmly, "At least give me two more spots, or we'll continue the competition!"
"One more at most. I'll draw one more spot from the Judicator of Earth City for you, and at the same time..."
Gandalf didn't expect Jiang Chen to be so persistent. He thought for a moment and said directly, "I'll allow you to choose a Skill Book from the Bible Pavilion in the Light Sanctuary, how about that?"
"One spot, one Skill Book?"
Jiang Chen was overjoyed, saying "reluctantly," "Since Bishop Gandalf has said so, what else can I say? Well, let's do it this way."
"What else could you say? If I didn't give you some benefits, I believe you could talk for three days and nights!"
Gandalf glanced at Jiang Chen, then took out another note and a decree, handing them over together.
[You have received a certificate for two Blessing of Light spots!]
[You have received a decree to obtain a Skill Book from the Bible Pavilion!]
Jiang Chen took the two notes and the decree, a smile appearing on his face.
He immediately tossed them into his backpack.
These items could only be used at the Light Sanctuary, so for now, they would just gather dust.
However, he had already decided who to give the extra note to.
"Everyone, I'm taking my leave!"
Jiang Chen planned to slip away.
"Holy Envoy of the Mortal World."
Gandalf immediately called out to Jiang Chen, "I have one more thing to ask you."
"What is it?" Jiang Chen asked with some confusion.
"You seem to have two types of wings. Why did you display them in front of so many people in the church?" Gandalf inquired.
"Huh?"
Jiang Chen was taken aback, "I never thought about hiding them. Why can't I show them?"
This answer was flawless.
With the capabilities of the Light Church, it would be impossible to hide the two wing forms from them.
Since that was the case, it was better to show them openly.
This was why Jiang Chen used the black wings during the recent arena match.
"You're right. Your wings have a legitimate origin, so there's no need to hide them."
Gandalf nodded, smiling slightly, "Alright, I have nothing else."
"This old fox seems to be testing me. Didn't my previous passionate speech move him?"
Jiang Chen was full of doubts, but he smiled and said, "Farewell!"
Then, he walked straight down from the viewing platform and headed out of the Judicator.
As he passed by the arena, the members of the Judicator all stepped aside, not daring to say a word.
After all, the Judicator was a violent institution, where strength spoke.
Everyone had witnessed Jiang Chen's power firsthand.
Soon, Jiang Chen left the Judicator and walked along the outdoor corridor to the church's main hall.
"At this time, where is Eilili?"
Jiang Chen scanned the surroundings, and not seeing anyone, he headed straight for the main hall of the church.
In a short while, in the spacious main hall, Jiang Chen saw a familiar face in the corner, engaged in daily prayer.
"Eilili."
Jiang Chen walked straight over.
"Lord Mortal World!"
Seeing him, Eilili's face immediately lit up with a smile.
"This is the certificate for the Blessing of Light. With it, you can go to the Sanctuary to receive the Blessing of Light!"
Jiang Chen handed Eilili one of the notes from his backpack.
"Blessing of Light?"
Eilili was surprised.
As far as she knew, only those who made significant contributions to the Church could receive the Blessing of Light.
She asked, somewhat incredulously, "Lord Mortal World, is this for me?"
"Yes."
Jiang Chen nodded. The extra spot he had asked for was meant for Eilili.
"I can't accept this, Lord Mortal World. How could I be qualified to receive the Blessing of Light?"
Eilili quickly shook her head, trying to return the note to Jiang Chen.
"This is an order. You must receive the Blessing of Light!"
Jiang Chen's expression was one of undeniable authority.
[Eilili's favorability towards you has increased!]
Jiang Chen received a system notification, and a smile appeared on his face.
"But, but..."
Eilili was still hesitant, feeling that the certificate was too precious.
"No buts."
Jiang Chen interrupted her, asking, "By the way, how are your studies in theology and magic going?"
"Bai Dingyang, the bishop, sent someone to tell me that I can officially start studying theology and practicing magic this afternoon," Eilili replied.
"That's good. Work hard. I have other matters to attend to. See you later."
With that, Jiang Chen turned and walked out of the church.
"I won't let you down, my lord!"
Eilili said with determination as she watched Jiang Chen's back.
Afterward.
Jiang Chen left the church and headed straight for Skyward Academy.
After walking for more than twenty minutes, he finally reached his destination.
This was the front yard of Skyward Academy.
The vast front yard was crowded with people.
"There are already so many players..."
Jiang Chen scanned the area and saw at least a thousand players!
Moreover, groups of people were continuously arriving.
Clearly, these were players who had recently reached the Royal City.
It's estimated that at least ten thousand players would arrive in Skyward City that day.
In the middle of the crowd stood a four-cornered pagoda, nine stories high, about forty to fifty meters tall.
This was the Skyward Academy Trial Tower.
Many people were going in and out of the Trial Tower.
Most of them entered happily and came out with bitter expressions.
On the Trial Tower, a huge light screen, more than ten meters high, displayed text.
[Skyward Academy Trial Tower Leaderboard.]
