Doomsday Circle

Lu Luo and Qi Xinzhu came to the parish in Donghuan together.

This is the most central location in the East Ring Road of the Fourth Ring Road. Next to it is the Dawn Cathedral in the East Ring Road. A large piece of land has been vacated next to the church to build a parish.

The parish is not just a building, it has a close combat training ground, a shooting range, various classrooms, and a family area in the corner.

The architectural styles are some antique and some simple, and most of them are made of beige rocks.

This is a place where the church specializes in cultivating elites, but it is not open to ordinary people. It is also one of the few places in the Fourth Ring Road with green grass.

Those who can come here are the elite among believers, such as believers who have been promoted to priests, or knights of the church.

Of course, the rarest ones are light seekers like Qi Xinzhu.

The Light-seeker itself already represents the rarest profession of the church, a dual-professional transcendent who is proficient in healing and combat.

The person guarding the gate of the parish is not a security guard or a street lady, but a real church knight.

These people are all extraordinary beings, and their duty is just to watch the gate.

When Lu Luo came here, he felt a little nervous looking at the strict guards.

A man who was preparing to investigate the Knights of Life actually came to the parish to practice. Life is always ups and downs!

We were introduced by Mr. Han Shiyu.

Qi Xinzhu directly handed Han Shiyu's letter of introduction to the guarding knight. After checking the letter of introduction, the knight let the two people in.

What they read was not the content of the letter, but the mark of the high-level Light-seeker on the letter.

The inspection process was unexpectedly simple, also because of the extraordinary confidence here.

There will always be many people seeking death in the wasteland, but there are really not many people who dare to commit suicide in the parish.

Because if you dare to commit suicide elsewhere, you still have a chance to escape, but if you commit suicide in a parish, you are basically certain to die.

Lu Luo had been following Qi Xinzhu silently, observing the buildings, environment, and people inside the parish.

[Detected the reaction of the power of holy light...]

[Detected the reaction of the power of holy light...]

[Detected the reaction of the power of holy light...]

There are endless hints of injecting this kind of people, and most of these people's strength is level 1 or above.

It was only when he passed a group of ordinary reserve knights that Lu Luo encountered a wave of introductory extraordinary beings.

The number and quality of the parish are so tyrannical! This is only the fourth ring!

Generally speaking, the quality of church extraordinary people is much higher than that of ordinary extraordinary people.

Because it is a matter of course for people with some talent to join the church. Coupled with the powerful effect of the power of holy light, ordinary extraordinary people cannot match it with their crude use of dark energy.

Walking to the deepest part of the parish, Lu Luo saw the words Swordsmanship Training Ground. He knew that this should be their destination.

It was an empty area and looked very rough.

Green grass, scratched sword targets, neatly arranged cross sword racks, and a teaching blackboard, that's all there is here.

The swordsmanship training ground was already full of people, about 50-60 people in total, which was exactly the number of people in a standard class.

The most conspicuous among them are naturally the knights in different costumes. They all have sharp eyes and amazing momentum. They are generally second-level masters.

Lu Luo was very aware of the gap between the second level here and the second level he had reached before. There was no need to compare between the church's top knights and ordinary barbarians.

The knight of life in red armor, the harvest knight in green armor, the knight of courage in golden armor, and the knight of justice in white armor.

These people are all very young. They should be of the same age as Lu Luo, Qi Xinzhu and others.

They are all masters! Lu Luo rubbed his fingers excitedly. Such people are interesting.

In addition to the members of the four major knights of the church, there are also some ordinary believers. These people can be regarded as real children from poor families. They are basically outstanding members of various parishes in the fourth ring.

Compared with the people of the four major knights, they were much more low-key, and Lu Luo discovered that not all of these people used the Holy Light.

The observer felt Qiai on one of the students. There were two in total, both at level 2.

Qihe, will the hunter join the church? It's interesting!

While Lu Luo was observing them, others were also observing Lu Luo and Qi Xinzhu.

Of course, the most important thing was to observe Qi Xinzhu. Lu Luo didn't even have a religious robe on him. It looked like someone from Yeluzi had stuffed it in.

There are people like this every year, and they can't get on the stage.

Compared to Lu Luo, Qi Xinzhu exuded that kind of pure holy light, which made him even more eye-catching, making him a formidable rival.

When the two of them walked to the swordsmanship training ground, two reserve members of the Knights of Justice stopped them.

Those who come here may only need a letter of introduction as a ticket, but those who can get in will have to undergo a test.

Qi Xinzhu frowned slightly. She had anticipated being made difficult, but she didn't expect it would come so quickly.

We were recommended by Master Han Shiyu...

This person directly interrupted Qi Xinzhu.

I don't care who recommended you, as long as you want to come in, you must pass the test.

Qi Xinzhu's face looked a little ugly. Lu Luo looked at these two guys who looked like humans and dogs in white armor, curled his lips, and pulled her directly behind him.

Test, in this three-acre land of the Wasteland Alliance, no one can test us except the Holy Light and the people.

You guys are nothing! Why test us?

The Sihuan people who don't know whether to live or die.

[The opponent's power of holy light is at level 2, please host be careful when dealing with it! 】

The two of them took action at the same time, Qi Xinzhu arrived first and used Shenghui to stop one of them for Lu Luo.

This action made Lu Luo feel a little regretful. It was a pity that he could not show his strength here. He clearly remembered what Han Shiyu asked of him!

boom!

Lu Luo grabbed the opponent's wrist with one hand, and the strength of his fingertips became stronger and stronger.

Plop!

An increase in steam pressure is enough to increase Lu Luo's 20% strength by another 30%.

He didn't release any more kiai, but with the increased steam pressure of his arms, he was able to suppress the Holy Glory of the knight in front of him.

Your methods don't seem as powerful as your mouth! I still say the same thing, you guys are nothing! Why are you testing us?

It was originally an annual program to give people in the Fourth Ring Road a show of strength.

The members of the Knights of Justice had finally fought for this position, but they didn't expect to be embarrassed here. This person suddenly became a little angry.

Justice! A holy seal appeared on the man's chest, and Lu Luo instantly felt that this man was much more powerful than before.

[What the opponent released should be the Holy Seal of Justice. There is no record of the specific effect in the book. The test should be the effect of enhanced strength and holy light, which is very powerful. 】

Just when the opponent's strength increased greatly, Lu Luo almost made a move.

Plop, plop!

White steam began to emit from Lu Luo's body. His fingertips were motionless, and his strength became more and more outrageous.

Until his fingers crushed the knight's body-protecting Holy Glory.

Stop! The people from the Knights of Justice wanted to stop him, but it was already too late.

Click!

With a miserable howl, the knight covered his arms and knelt on the ground.

Lu Luo's strength made other knights look askance. When will the Fourth Ring have such a powerful guy.

They secretly remembered Lu Luo in their hearts, this guy has two skills.

Looking at the four members of the Knights of Justice who had gathered around, even though they were only level 2 reserves, they still gave Lu Luo a strong sense of oppression.

What, do you want to fight? I'll stay with you until the end.

Lu Luo was a little eager to try. The strength of the members of the Knights of Justice had far exceeded his imagination.

Although his performance just now was very relaxed, it was the result of using the steam state.

At this point, the knight of justice who was knocked down by Lu Luo in front of him could almost casually kill a level 2 peak savage like Ge Tuo.

The opponent Lu Luo wanted was this kind of opponent. There was no point in fighting in the fish pond all day long. He needed to confirm his positioning of strength.

The parish was his best choice.

As for losing or something? Come on, he is a member of the fourth ring with few resources and no education. Is there any problem in losing to the boss of the inner ring?

Face is nothing. If you lose, you lose. If you lose, practice again, suck again, study again, for fear of being hammered.

These knights of justice did not expect Lu Luo to be so arrogant and arrogant. He did not appear to be weak-minded or cowardly at all, and they were also troubled.

This is Qiao Xing's parish. Many people don't know and have heard of Qiao Xing's temper.

Tests and showing off one's power can be considered an annual program, but Lu Luo has already passed the test.

If provocations and fights continue, that will be another matter.

You're lucky, kid.

Tch, a few cup sellers and knights of justice? Are you worthy?

Lu Luo cursed and walked in, and no one stopped him.

The opposite of the Knights of Justice is the Knights of Evil, and it’s true to describe them this way.

On the other side, Qi Xinzhu's methods were much gentler, and he repelled the opponent with a Shenghui blast, both using Shenghui. The two nodded to each other to show face, and went in.

Lu Luo, you are too arrogant.

Qi Xinzhu was worried that Lu Luo would be isolated. If he joined the church in the future, it would be difficult for the church to develop.

But Lu Luo had never considered these issues at all, and he had no intention of joining the church, never.

Professor Han asked me to do this. If you want to blame me, you can only blame her.

Well, just pass the blame to Han Shiyu. Qi Xinzhu rolled his eyes, Lu Luo is such a shameless guy.

…

Lord Qiao Xing is here.

A shout made everyone calm down.

The Archbishop of Donghuan, who was once the most promising master to become the youngest swordsman in the church, will become their teacher in the next period of time.

Teach them the secret martial arts of the church, the Holy Cross Sword Technique.

[With a calm and powerful aura, his power is above Han Shiyu, but below Lu Di, he is temporarily the second master you have ever seen. 】

Lu Luo nodded. He was an ordinary middle-aged man with almost no characteristics. This was the feeling Qiao Xing gave him.

There was no self-introduction or introduction to the course. Qiao Xing casually picked up a church cross sword as a stick and began his lecture, which was shockingly direct.

“The church’s swordsmanship was basically unified 200 years ago, and people in the church should know this.

However, some students may not be clear about it, so I will repeat it here.

Because of the increase in physical strength caused by the power of the Holy Light, and because of the threat of high-level alien species outside the wall, the swordsmanship of the church has become more simple and simple over the past few hundred years.

From the previous fancy, it has gradually transformed into today's simple three elements, which are faster, heavier and more powerful.

The power brought to us by the Holy Glory is enough to support us to pick up the heavy cross sword and deal with powerful alien creatures.

When our strength is strong enough and the holy light is surging enough, such a heavy weapon will be like a light feather in our hands, delivering a devastating strike that destroys the world.

Like this!

Qiao Xing was seen holding the sword firmly, gently waving his arm towards the sky, and a huge flying slash with holy light came out of the blade.

This slash was like the light of dawn, cutting away the long-lasting dark clouds in the sky and bringing a brief burst of sunlight to the earth.

Fuck! This is the strength of a high-level transcendent, outrageous.

Qiao Xing, who has shown his strength, can naturally make everyone listen to the class honestly. This is his educational method, simple and effective.

“The striking techniques of traditional swords include: draw, bring, lift, block, hit, stab, point, collapse, stir, press, split, intercept, wash, cloud, hang, lift, chop...

This is very complicated and refutes the principles of cross sword practice...

On the first day of the course, the knowledge Qiao Xing taught was the most basic swordsmanship content. People who have experienced church education actually already know these contents.

Some church personnel showed helplessness or impatience, but others remained focused and serious, such as some outstanding Four Horsemen and Qi Xinzhu.

Of course, there is also Lu Luo who has always longed for systematic martial arts education.

[The observer is recording the basic knowledge of Holy Cross Swordsmanship for the host...]

In fact, Lu Luo listened very carefully, and the observers were working hard to help him record the data, but he chose to listen to the lecture in a more comfortable posture, lying on the table.

…

One class lasted about three hours. Qiao Xing ended the morning class after explaining the development history of Shenghui Cross Swordsmanship and its simple application methods.

Okay, that's it for the first class. There are the moves of the Holy Cross Swordsmanship on the wall over there. Everyone can practice it casually. We will continue in the afternoon.

Qiao Xing is very serious when teaching, and when the get out of class is over, he is not sloppy, and he is completely businesslike.

After the class ended, some members of the Four Knights from the inner circle gathered around him and wanted to ask Qiao Xing questions. As for whether they really wanted to ask Qiao Xing, they all had their own opinions.

Lord Qiao Xing, I am Wang Yudong, a reserve knight of the Knights of Life. I have a question to ask you.

Lord Qiao Xing, I have a problem too.

I have it too.

Qiao Xing, who was wearing a priest's robe, was blocked by someone, his brows furrowed, as if he was very dissatisfied with such behavior.

Didn't you listen when you were in class just now? It's private time now and lunch is about to take place. If you don't want to be expelled, stay away from me.

Towards these members of the Four Knights, his attitude was still cold and calm.

If everyone doesn't disturb him, he will remain indifferent and calm, but if Qiao Xing is disturbed, he will definitely fall out.

Uh... Several members of the Four Knights were speechless by Qiao Xing, and they did not dare to argue with the archbishop, even the archbishop of the fourth ring.

Lu Luo and Qi Xinzhu watched the defeat of the Four Knights. Lu Luo probably understood what Han Shiyu meant when he said that Qiao Xing had a weird personality and was very troublesome.

You have a very indifferent attitude. Are you the kind who refuses to accept anything?

Lord Qiao Xing's character has always been like this. His life is as regular as a clock. There has been no change for many years.

Many years? Have you known him before?

Qi Xinzhu puffed up her chest with some pride. She didn't even know how much impact this action had on the male students around her.

Yes, my swordsmanship teacher is Lord Qiao Xing.

Come on, Lu Luo, follow me.

Huh? Lu Luo didn't realize what Qi Xinzhu meant.

Now that we're here, of course we have to take the initiative to visit Lord Qiao Xing. After all, I haven't seen him for many years. I think he won't forget me!

Qi Xinzhu said and started walking in the direction of Qiao Xing. Lu Luo followed her blankly, a little at a loss.

[Is this what it feels like to be a guanxi householder? Don't worry, everyone likes to use the back door. 】

Just as Lu Luo followed Qi Xinzhu to the inner hall of the parish, Lu Yang, a reserve member of the Knights of Courage, looked in their direction with confusion.

That person looks like Lu Luo! It's impossible, isn't it? Shouldn't he be taking classes at the university? Why is he here?

This is Lord Qiao Xing's annual swordsmanship course. Lu Luo wasn't an extraordinary person just a few months ago! Why was he so fierce just now?

With doubts, Lu Yang walked slightly toward the inner hall. Pursuing the truth was a knight's virtue, so he wanted to confirm whether that person was Lu Luo.

…

Qiao Xing is sitting in the parish prayer room, which is like a small church.

The circular emblem representing dawn is placed in the center of the prayer room. There are two rows of seats on the left and right. This prayer room can accommodate about 5-6 people.

Unlike cathedrals elsewhere, this is generally reserved for church members.

A devout believer will pray at any time, and Qiao Xing is a devout believer.

The hope of dawn gives me food, the holy light always shines on the earth, the dawn is with me...

Qiao Xing prayed and opened the lunch box Li Lan prepared for him.

One meat and one vegetarian dish, as well as an egg and a few dried radishes. It's a very simple dish, but from the design and presentation, you can see that Li Lan put a lot of thought into it.

Eating is usually not allowed in the prayer room.

Normally, such behavior would be reprimanded by the bishops of various dioceses, but the archbishop of the East Ring District is Qiao Xing himself, so no one can control him.

And when eating here, out of reverence for the emblem of the dawn, those pesky flies will not bother him.

Qi Xinzhu took Lu Luo to the prayer room and knocked on the door of the prayer room.

Lord Qiao Xing, I am Qi Xinzhu, long time no see, do you still remember me?

Qiao Xing was a little annoyed. He finished the food in his mouth before slowly turning around and looking at Qi Xinzhu and Lu Luo behind her.

When his eyes were on Qi Xinzhu, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net just nodded slightly.

It turns out to be the Holy Lady, long time no see.

Don't say that. The church has long abolished the term saint. I am just an ordinary admirer of light.

Qi Xinzhu was very humble, but Qiao Xing still had the same moral character and did not buy Qi Xinzhu's fault at all, and continued:

What is abolished is only the church system. Things that should exist will always exist. You are the person closest to the dawn, and you are naturally the saint of the church.

Uh... Qi Xinzhu was a little embarrassed. She glanced at Lu Luo and found that Lu Luo was also looking at her.

Hello, Lady Saint.

Lu Luo, why don't you...

Lu Luo smiled and turned his eyes to Qiao Xing. The Archbishop of Donghuan also moved his eyes to him.
