Chapter 315

Triggering the protection mechanism naturally meant losing the qualification for the inheritance trial, but it wasn't only triggering the protection mechanism that would cause one to lose the qualification.

If the holy artifact used to purify vengeful spirits was destroyed and lost its purification effect, one would also lose the qualification for the inheritance trial.

After all, vengeful spirits cannot be killed, at least for the Magic Card Masters participating in the inheritance trial on the scene, this was indeed the case.

And even if one really killed a vengeful spirit, without a holy artifact to convert the pure power, there was no way to open the inheritance.

This could be considered a hidden elimination mechanism.

Soon, all Saint and Saintess candidates received their holy artifacts.

The appearance of the holy artifact was very strange, a bit like a gauntlet, full of metallic texture. Many Saint and Saintess candidates couldn't help but knock on them, but they were all very careful and cautious.

After all, if they accidentally destroyed the holy artifact, they could leave now, without even having to enter the Bone Burial Ground.

Lu Li, on the other hand, couldn't help but have a subtle look in his eyes after seeing the holy artifact.

*If you tell me this thing is a Dragon Summoner, I wouldn't feel much incongruity. * The more he looked, the more the appearance of the holy artifact resembled the Dragon Summoner of the Dragon Knights in Lu Li's memory, which made him couldn't help but complain.

Except that it wasn't a dragon-shaped carving, but a carving full of religious characteristics, there was no other difference between the holy artifact and the Dragon Summoner.

Of course, the functions of the two were definitely different.

"Dragon Summoner?" Hearing Lu Li's complaint, Yan Yuexin, who was also knocking on the holy artifact, couldn't help but stop her movements, a trace of curiosity on her face.

This name sounded very awesome.

"Nothing, it's just that the appearance of this holy artifact is a bit similar to a certain toy I've seen before." Facing Yan Yuexin's curious baby eyes, Lu Li replied calmly.

Anyway, what he said was true; the Dragon Summoner was indeed a prop outside the play.

"You're fooling me again," unfortunately, Yan Yuexin didn't believe Lu Li's words and gave him a big roll of her eyes.

How could she have never seen a toy with such an appearance? Besides, this was the Holy See's holy artifact; who would compare a holy artifact to a toy?

Not only Yan Yuexin, but Yan Qian, Yan Zhen, and others were also speechless, especially Yan Zhen and Ying Wan, who belonged to the Holy See side, were even more egg-painful.

……

"Everyone has received the holy artifact, right? Then prepare to enter the Bone Burial Ground." Fortunately, the Pope's voice came at the right time, which resolved the embarrassment of several people.

And Lu Li and Yan Yuexin also put away their playful mentality, their eyes falling on the Pope again.

Seeing this, the Pope didn't talk nonsense and reached out to point gently at a certain place in the secluded valley, and invisible ripples spread outward with this place as the center.

Finally, a portal appeared in front of everyone; through the portal, everyone could only see the hazy scenery behind the door.

Obviously, if one didn't enter the world behind the portal, one couldn't see clearly what the Bone Burial Ground was like.

The Bone Burial Ground naturally didn't refer to this secluded valley, but to the space behind the portal.

Although the secluded valley was heavily guarded, Magic Card Masters had many means, and no one knew if they would be drilled through at some moment, so naturally, they had to add another layer of insurance.

Moreover, this was also to prevent vengeful spirits from escaping the Bone Burial Ground, even if these vengeful spirits would dissipate quickly after leaving the Bone Burial Ground.

But before they dissipated, no one could ensure what kind of harm these vengeful spirits would cause.

593. Storm.

Crossing the portal, all the Saint and Saintess candidates participating in the inheritance trial, as well as their guardian knights, disappeared one after another behind the portal.

Including Lu Li and Yan Yuexin, they also followed the crowd into the Bone Burial Ground.

As all participants entered the Bone Burial Ground, the portal closed again. At this time, even if there were Saint and Saintess candidates who hadn't arrived in time, they could no longer enter the Bone Burial Ground.

Of course, no one would forget such an important thing, and if not all Saint and Saintess candidates were present, the Bone Burial Ground couldn't be opened.

"Alright, let's see which little guys can obtain the inheritance this time," the Pope waved his hand again, and a huge light screen appeared in the valley, reflecting the figures of everyone who had entered the Bone Burial Ground.

Moreover, every person's figure had an individual lens, as if it were specifically broadcast for them, which was very wonderful.

Seeing this scene, everyone still at the scene, including the Popes of the major religions, also became interested.

You have to know, the Bone Burial Ground could be said to be one of the important places of the Holy See, and only the Pope had the authority to dispatch everything in this place.

Even Popes of the six major religions like Yan Zhen only had the authority to open the Bone Burial Ground, but not the authority to monitor the Bone Burial Ground.

However, speaking of the authority to open the Bone Burial Ground, it could only be opened after the Saint and Saintess candidates were all present.

Therefore, in previous inheritance trials, they could only wait silently in the secluded valley for the results, without being able to get first-hand news.

Only in the limited number of times the Pope personally arrived, with the dispatch authority possessed by the Pope, could they see the performance of their respective Saint and Saintess candidates and get first-hand news.

Soon, these Popes found the images of their respective religious Saint and Saintess candidates and guardian knights.

Including Yan Zhen, Yan Qian, and others, they also saw the images of Lu Li and Yan Yuexin, Qu Zhixuan and Bei Xingyu.

However, the faces of several people were not very good.

Not only Yan Zhen and Yan Qian, but the other Popes who noticed this scene also had interesting expressions on their faces.

And in the place where everyone couldn't see at the very front, the Pope's gaze also fell on Lu Li's image.

Or rather, the Pope's gaze had been on Lu Li from the beginning and had never left.

Although he had an agreement with Tai Yin You Ying not to make a move against Lu Li, the Pope was also very curious about the strength of this thousand-year original Magic Card Creator.

……

"Is this the Bone Burial Ground? It looks quite different from what I imagined," entering the Bone Burial Ground through the portal and seeing the bird-singing and flower-scented scenery all around, Yan Yuexin was stunned.

There was no way to see the internal situation of the Bone Burial Ground through the portal, but in Yan Yuexin's imagination, even if the Bone Burial Ground wasn't full of white bones, it wouldn't be such a bird-singing and flower-scented scene.

Here, it was more like a paradise than the Bone Burial Ground; this was simply a place very suitable for retirement.

If you told her this was the Holy See's holy body, Yan Yuexin wouldn't think there was any problem; anyway, she absolutely didn't think the environment here had anything to do with the four words "Bone Burial Ground".

"Don't be blinded by the appearance in front of you." Lu Li, on the other hand, was also a bit surprised that the environment of the Bone Burial Ground was so quiet, but he quickly came back to his senses: "And don't forget, the reason this place is called the Bone Burial Ground is because it buried many martyrs of the Holy See."

"By the way, you shouldn't be able to summon Magic Cards now, right?"

According to Yan Qinyun's explanation back then, all Saint and Saintess candidates would link with the holy artifact after entering the Bone Burial Ground, and their magic power would also be used to drive the operation of the holy artifact to purify vengeful spirits.

In other words, the current Saint and Saintess candidates were just little lambs without the ability to resist.

Of course, if these Saint and Saintess candidates were willing to lose the qualification for the inheritance trial, they could choose to disconnect from the holy artifact and restore their own strength.

But until the end, I'm afraid no one would dare to do so.

"Correct," hearing Lu Li's question, Yan Yuexin fiddled with the holy artifact in her hand: "I can feel that the magic power in my body is being continuously absorbed by the holy artifact, and I don't have enough magic power to summon Magic Card Spirits."

"Unless I take the initiative to disconnect from the holy artifact, but that would mean losing the opportunity to continue participating in the inheritance trial."

"So, from now on, I have to rely on you to protect me, my guardian knight." After speaking, Yan Yuexin blinked, but the next second she couldn't help but laugh out loud, revealing a trace of the girl's unique cuteness.

Don't say anything else, Yan Yuexin still trusted Lu Li's strength very much, especially with Daji's amazing performance yesterday.

If he were an opponent, Lu Li would undoubtedly be a nightmare, and if things went wrong, one might even have their Dao heart shattered.

Regarding this, Yan Yuexin had a deep experience.

Now recalling that scene from half a year ago, Yan Yuexin still felt she couldn't help but want to bite Lu Li.

But, if he were a teammate, Yan Yuexin would feel very at ease, because Lu Li was indeed more reliable than anyone else, at least in the Bone Burial Ground.

"I always feel like you were thinking about something bad just now," seeing Yan Yuexin's cute expression, Lu Li couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, but he didn't think too much, just looked around, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.

The Saint and Saintess candidates and their guardian knights who entered the Bone Burial Ground with them had already left first after the initial stun.

After all, they didn't have much time to waste here, wasting time sighing at the environment of the Bone Burial Ground.

However, among these Saint and Saintess candidates who left, many looked at Lu Li and Yan Yuexin with hidden glances of watching a show and pity.

Clearly, in the eyes of these people, Lu Li and Yan Yuexin's subsequent encounters would not be good, but unfortunately for them, the most important thing was to purify vengeful spirits and obtain the pure power to open the inheritance.

As for the others, they were not within their concern, especially since they were about to be eliminated as losers.

Unfortunately, no matter how hidden the gazes of these Saint and Saintess candidates were, they didn't escape Lu Li's eyes.

Sovereign Realm level spiritual power was enough to take in every move of everyone in this range, including expressions and gazes.

594. Sharp tongue, soft heart.

"Are you going to act together next?" Qu Zhixuan and Bei Xingyu walked over at this time; they were also one of the participants on the scene who hadn't left: "The rules of the Bone Burial Ground don't forbid team actions, and this way, it's safer."

Saying this, Bei Xingyu's gaze swept around.

Although the vast majority of participants had already set off for various parts of the Bone Burial Ground, there were still many Saint and Saintess candidates and their guardian knights who stayed here and didn't leave immediately.

And these people's gazes were sweeping over Lu Li and Yan Yuexin's location; one didn't need to think to know they were being targeted.

To be honest, facing so many Saint and Saintess candidates and their guardian knights at once, Bei Xingyu and Qu Zhixuan didn't have 100% confidence either.

But in the end, Lu Li and Yan Yuexin were both from the Flame Spirit Sect; as participants of the Flame Spirit Sect, Qu Zhixuan and Bei Xingyu naturally couldn't just watch.

"Although the Bone Burial Ground doesn't have these restrictions, I'm afraid not many people will choose to act in teams." Not answering Bei Xingyu immediately, but from Lu Li's tone, it could be heard that he didn't have this idea.

In fact, it was indeed the case.

Except for the six major religions, other religions basically only had one Saint or Saintess candidate, and they were in a competitive relationship with others and couldn't trust Saint and Saintess candidates of other religions, so naturally, they couldn't form teams.

And even for the Saint and Saintess candidates of the six major religions, no one would choose to form teams.

There was a competitive relationship between religions, and there were also conflicts of interest between Saint and Saintess candidates of the same religion. ===== CHAPTER 316 =====
