For a moment, everyone fell silent.

The shouting voice was too clear, and the emotions contained in the voice were also conveyed delicately.

So, the divine artifact was shouting for their captain?

What kind of relationship did their captain have with the divine artifact? No, what kind of intimate relationship?

Because of the spiritual connection, shock and confusion flooded Karun's mind. He could sense the question marks filling his teammates' heads.

In fact, Karun himself was also shocked. He really didn't expect that the final appearance would be Lux Copper Coin, or rather, Loya.

In the previous rounds, he had carefully coordinated to maintain the team's condition to face the final challenge.

"Karun gege... Karun gege..."

Loya's call continued, and the illusions of two ancient copper coins appeared from the cracks.

Obviously, as the spirit of the artifact, Loya also possessed the second copper coin.

Karun spoke, "In a previous mission of the Order Whip Squad I was in, there was an issue involving the contamination of Lux Copper Coin. Our squad successfully resolved the problem and handed over a Lux Copper Coin. At that time, my captain asked me to personally hand it over, so I have some acquaintance with it. Because of this relationship, it has shown us a bit of face, but that's all. Everyone, don't let your guard down."

Just an acquaintance?

The members of the squad chewed on this description.

Then, Karun received a wave of emotions through the spiritual connection, filled with suspicion and disbelief.

"It really is just that bit of a relationship. Some artifact spirits are actually very kind, like her."

Everyone looked at the first and seventh squads next door, each of them in a miserable state of crying.

Kind?

Immediately, another wave of even stronger suspicion and disbelief emotions surged towards Karun.

Karun sighed in his heart. He didn't know if the organizers and the people watching this selection had noticed anything, but his subordinates had clearly sensed that something was wrong.

Fortunately, Karun had the experience of handing over the Lux Copper Coin, which would definitely be recorded. So he could explain it away.

As for why just a brief contact with the artifact during the handover could make the artifact treat you differently, that was not a big deal, and didn't even need an explanation. Because he had already shown his excellence, and in the history of the Order, there were many outstanding young people who had a deeper resonance with miracles, divine beasts, and even gods than others.

He was just resonating with this artifact. A truly outstanding young person would experience something beyond ordinary people's imagination. That was what was truly strange.

However, in order to prevent the situation from escalating and to dispel the doubts of his subordinates, Karun raised his hand and cut off the connection with the spiritual bridge.

Then he shouted in his mind, "Loya."

"Hehe... Karun gege... hello..."

"Give my subordinates a mental storm."

"Okay... Karun gege..."

"Ah!!!"

"Ah!!!"

In the next moment, Bart, Ventura, Aisley, Blanche, and Mars, all five of them, were crouching on the ground, holding their heads in pain.

The calm before had turned into a storm, catching everyone off guard.

Seeing his subordinates in pain, Karun felt heartbroken.

Then he crouched down and sat down, pressing his right hand against his forehead, pretending to be in pain as well.

Although he didn't shout out, as the captain, he had a stronger resistance and didn't need to cry out in pain. That was normal.

Inside the three barriers, the Lux Copper Coin emitted an ancient bronze light, encompassing everything within the barriers. This was equivalent to embedding its own barrier within the barrier formation.

In this barrier, what they saw from the outside was what Loya wanted them to see.

Of course, those true high-level beings could penetrate this barrier and see the hidden truth, but they were not here. What they were seeing now was just a projection.

Loya appeared in front of Karun, still wearing the attire of a café waiter, the same outfit Karun wore that day.

"Karun gege, do you know? I was thinking before, since this is a selection of outstanding young people by the Order, will I see you? I believe you must be the most outstanding, but I'm worried that the Order might be blind."

Karun looked up at Loya.

"Don't worry, Karun gege. They can't see me or hear me speak. Outside, they can't see... Oh, in the eyes of the people around you, you still maintain a painful sitting posture."

"Loya, I really didn't expect to see you here!"

"Karun gege, can't you seal the space and see me like you did last time with the silver mask? Oh, right, last time it seemed to be because of the other copper coin you were holding. But there's also another way. In the sealed space, our spirits can be nourished every day. Because I'm still young, my power has grown faster during this time. So now I can sense some things that I couldn't sense before, like a copper coin not far from Wayne, it seems to be sunk in the sea."

I didn't report this feeling, I just wanted to find an opportunity to secretly tell Karun about it.

Karun can go and find that copper coin, remember to do it secretly. If you find the coin, don't hand it over, keep it for yourself. You can use it to see me in the future."

"Okay, tell me the location."

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "p𝑎wread.com".

Luo Ya reached out and placed her palm on Karun's forehead, immediately transmitting a set of coordinates to him, in the southwest sea area of Vien.

"It may not be easy to find, Karun, you'll have to put in some effort."

"After I finish dealing with the upcoming matters, I will organize a team to search for it."

"Okay, hehe."

Luo Ya was very happy. She was innocent and cute, but she was not naive. The previous judge, Zhi He, who treated her as an easy target, had already been crushed to death.

"Karun, let me tell you, there is a harp sister who has been taking care of me in the sealed space, and there are many interesting fellows. If you can come often in the future, I will introduce you to them."

"Okay."

"Um, what about next?" Luo Ya pointed to the two sides, which were the first team and the seventh team. "Karun, which team do you want to promote?"

Huh?

Do I get to decide?

"Let's go with your pace, all three teams will advance together."

"Oh, I thought Karun could help me make a choice."

"Give them a fair chance and give my team the same opportunity for training, of course, under the premise that my team can advance. I want fairness, but I don't want to lose. Thank you for satisfying my shameless desire for moral comfort and profit."

"Hehe, I understand. Actually, Karun, with you in the team, it's impossible for your team to lose."

"Thank you, Luo Ya."

"You don't have to be so polite with me, really, Karun. Um, are these your subordinates?"

"Yes, they are the teammates I recruited in this selection. I am their captain."

"Okay, I see. Then I'll start working. Oh, Karun, you have to work hard and bring me out as soon as possible."

"I will, but it will take time."

"I believe you can do it, Karun. There's no need to rush, in the sealed space, even a few thousand-year-old beings are still children."

Luo Ya disappeared and returned to the copper coin.

The spiritual storm also fell on Karun, but he just made a muffled sound and quickly held on.

Then, Karun raised his hand and activated the Cube Key, reconnecting himself to the spiritual bridge.

As soon as he reconnected, the extremely intense "painful" emotions rushed towards him frantically.

Hmm, these negative emotions have a greater impact on myself than Luo Ya's spiritual storm.

Karun frowned slightly.

The role of the spiritual bridge should have been to deal with spiritual impact as a whole, but because he had left, the team members became scattered, and the spiritual bridge not only failed to stabilize as it should have, but also allowed the "emotions" of others to interfere with him. To some extent, it even intensified his own pain.

They are all excellent people, but unfortunately, it's true that when scattered, they are a mess.

However, Karun also understood that it was because of his previous "departure" that they lost their backbone, and he was mostly responsible for it.

Karun spoke in his mind: "Don't escape, don't just think about yourself, follow my pace!"

At this moment, everyone sensed the presence of their captain from the spiritual bridge. The captain was like a mountain standing there, giving them a direction to gather and rely on.

Karun stood up and said, "Everyone, stand up!"

Gradually, the painful expressions on everyone's faces eased a lot, and one by one, they stood up.

In the distance, where the crack was, Luo Ya, sitting on the copper coin, kept adding spiritual storms to the three barriers, one after another, like throwing stones into a pond.

However, in one round, she looked towards Karun's team, clapped her hands, and smiled.

The team members suddenly sensed a huge wave rushing towards them, but when it approached, they didn't feel its power. Then, through the spiritual bridge, they realized that their captain had taken on most of the impact alone.

"Captain, you don't have to bear it alone."

"Captain, don't do it alone."

"You guys hold on, don't worry about me."

In fact, the intensity of the spiritual storm did not increase. The previous huge wave was an illusion deliberately created by Luo Ya.

Luo Ya didn't have any bad intentions, she just wanted to enhance Karun's prestige in front of his teammates.

Karun couldn't help but laugh and cry. He couldn't contact Luo Ya now, otherwise he would definitely tell her that he didn't need to do these things in front of his subordinates anymore.

The spiritual storm lasted for a long time and finally stopped.

All members of the first team were kneeling on the ground, and a priest in the team was helping to heal his teammates. But when he was about to heal the second teammate, the priest himself fainted.

Except for the captain, Kaito, the members of the seventh team were all lying on the ground.

Only the third team could still stand upright.In this case, Luo Ya didn't hold back at all. It was purely the result of Karun's team's early preparation and groundwork, combined with this round led by Karun, organizing everyone to resist the spiritual storm in the most correct way.

However, the selection is not over yet, because there are still three teams on the field.

Karun immediately spoke up, "No rest, everyone perform order purification on yourselves. Mas!"

"Yes!"

"Change the way the spiritual bridge is connected, cancel the team-wide sharing, and let everyone communicate with me in one direction."

"Yes, captain!"

"Everyone, open up your mental defenses to me. I only need you to hold onto one last thought, which is to not resist me when my spirit comes to you.

The Lux copper coin is one of the purest existences in the world, but because of its purity, it can trigger the greed in your hearts, which is why it is called the source of sin.

Without any surprises, the power of the source of sin will be activated next. This is not an illusion, because its temptation is more direct, coming from within you.

If any of you can't hold on, greed will take over your consciousness, and I will be responsible for giving you a slap to wake you up.

Just so you know, if it hurts, don't blame me!"

"Yes, captain!"

"Yes, captain!"

The team members immediately performed order purification on themselves. Blanch also insisted on adding a layer of "blessing" to everyone, and she was in a much better state than the priest of the neighboring first team.

Upon seeing the actions of the third team, the captain of the first team, Muri, immediately said, "The next round may be a new illusion. Everyone, hold on."

After speaking, Muri scratched his palm with his nails, and blood dripped out, forming a blood-colored starlight.

Soon, a black snake emerged from the starlight, standing tall and opening its own screen.

After doing all this, Muri shouted, "Bring out any means you have, it's the final moment."

Immediately, two team members summoned guardian objects through special rituals. All members of the first team gathered together.

The captain of the seventh team first observed the actions of the third team, then looked at the actions of the first team, and finally looked at the members who were mostly lying down. He knew that they were going to lose.

Compared to the third team, which still had some strength, and the first team, which still had ammunition to use, his team had no more cards to play.

"Guys, you all did well. It's because I, as the captain, couldn't bring you to the end like the other two. It's my fault. After we get out, let's drink together at night!

No, let's sleep first. After a good rest, we'll drink together!"

Bald Kane turned his head and looked into the distance. The copper coin already released black mist, gradually surrounding this place.

He knew that after experiencing the previous spiritual storm torment and exhaustion, coupled with the current low state of his team and the lack of protection, they couldn't withstand the blow of the artifact.

"The source of sin..."

Kane obviously recognized the Lux copper coin. Because of this, he didn't want his subordinates to take any more risks for an impossible victory. It really wasn't worth it if it destroyed their state of mind.

The captain of the seventh team grabbed the flagpole in front of him and shouted, "The seventh team surrenders!"

The team members lying on the ground didn't complain about their captain. They all spread out their limbs, lying on their backs, panting, finally relieved...

As the seventh team was transported out of the barrier, the black mist released by the Lux copper coin slowly retracted at this moment, because there were only two teams left on the field and the result had already been determined.

Luo Ya glanced at Karun one last time, then sat on the copper coin and floated into the silver gate.

"Hehe, Karun gege, I'm waiting for you to come and exchange me."

The barrier completely disappeared.

On the square, there were only the members of the two remaining teams standing, kneeling, or sitting. The rest of the candidates were waiting at the edge of the square.

Punk announced, "The final list of selected candidates is the 6 members of the first team and the 6 members of the third team. The selection is over!"

"We did it!"

"We did it!"

Bart, Aisley, Blanch, and Mas shouted excitedly.

The first team looked at the celebration of the third team. As the winners themselves, they knew who the real first team was.

Pasio spat on the ground and said, "Damn, they still have the energy to jump around."

Muri got up, tidied his clothes, and walked towards the third team. When he reached Karun, he extended his hand and said, "Congratulations."

Karun smiled at him and shook his hand lightly, "Congratulations to you too."

"I'm from Dingge District, Port St. Antis, my name is Muri, Muri Bendah."

"York City District, Karun Silva."

"I want to be friends with you, not just for the purpose of going to the Gate of Reincarnation."

"I'm honored."

"We will meet again soon, not in Dingge... Oh no, we will gather in Dingge District before going to the Valley of Reincarnation. We can chat then."

"Okay, I look forward to it."

Muri turned and left.

Karun also turned around, and his eyes immediately lit up.

A bald man walked up to him, opened his arms, and although Karun resisted this way of greeting, he still opened his arms and hugged the man lightly.Bald Kane grabbed Karun's arms and laughed, saying:

"My name is Kane, from the South Rus region."

"Karun, from the York City region."

"Heh, I'm a bit unwilling to admit defeat to those guys from the Dingge region. Who knows if they cheated or pulled strings. But losing to you, I admit defeat wholeheartedly."

Karun chuckled inwardly.

In terms of cheating... it seemed that no team had a heavier element of cheating than their own team.

"I can't go to the Reincarnation Valley anymore. If you have a chance, come to South Rus for a visit, I'll host you."

"You're welcome to visit York City as well."

"Haha, good, I like your perfunctory attitude."

...

A cheer erupted in the hall.

The church's location was in the Dingge region. Among the six people in the first team, five of them had elders sitting in this hall.

Cred opened his eyes from his nap,
