Chapter 16

The chaotic voices of discussion rose and fell, a bit louder than before. The priest, who always maintained fairness and justice, merely stood to one side, coldly watching without stopping the people from mocking Jiang Junming. The believer from the Care Church who brought Jiang Junming blushed, lowered his head, and tried to hide his anger and helplessness. Although what these people said made him angry, most of it was true, and even if the believer wanted to refute it, he didn't know what to say.

Jiang Junming didn't care about the mocking and ridicule, but he was worried about whether he could pass the inspection test.

Soon, the light of the holy emblem shone on Jiang Junming. Jiang Junming felt nothing, and the light then disappeared.

"Everyone has passed; there are no followers of darkness and evil among them," the priest of the Justice Church said after seeing the holy emblem's light shine on all the children without any abnormalities. "Next, we will conduct the second test."

The first test was an inspection, and it was unknown what the second test would be. Jiang Junming guessed what method would be used to test his sensitivity and release of divine power. Just as he was thinking, he saw a beam of light project from the holy emblem and fall on him.

The light projected by the holy emblem was much more intense than during the inspection test. The light fell on Little Price, and he emitted a faint glow, much weaker than the light projected by the holy emblem, not as intense. Not only was it not intense, but it was also somewhat thin. The light was very faint, and under its illumination, Little Price seemed even more proud, a smile of self-righteousness curling at the corners of his mouth, as if everything was within his expectations.

"Indeed, he is a genius, with such strong reception of divine power!" When Jiang Junming was puzzled, he heard the people around him whispering. Is this the reception of divine power? Is the light from the holy emblem being absorbed by Little Price? Jiang Junming guessed.

"I think at least sixty percent of the divine power was received by Little Price."

"Are your eyes blind? Look at the light on Price's body, so weak. I think at least eighty percent of the divine power was received by Little Price."

"Is it really that much? He truly deserves to be the genius of Moonlight City!"

"Of course, a genius like Little Price hasn't appeared in a hundred years."

After the test of receiving divine power, Little Price, with a proud and cold expression, received frequent nods from the three priests. It seemed that the priests of various churches were also very satisfied with Little Price's performance. The priest of the Dawnlight Church was even more unreserved in his joy, praising Little Price.

The light projected by the holy emblem then fell on other people. Some were directly penetrated by the light, as if their bodies did not exist. Some had the light sprinkle on their bodies, radiating much brighter than Little Price, with no divine power entering their bodies.

It was really amazing. Jiang Junming was stunned by the divine power projected from the holy emblem. It seemed that each young person's performance under the holy emblem's light was different, and just by looking with the naked eye, one could tell which young person passed the test and which did not.

Those who were penetrated by the light or did not receive any divine power were led to one side. In Jiang Junming's view, they should have been eliminated. However, the fat Shadus and the thin Aired, although penetrated by the light, were allowed to pass the test by the three priests responsible for judging, as if they hadn't seen it.

The people around seemed to be accustomed to this and said nothing. Whenever someone passed the test, Jiang Junming could hear the people discussing which young person would become a priest and which would be best suited as a holy knight.

Jiang Junming observed that among all the young people who could receive divine power, Little Price received the most, while the arrogant young man received the least. The divine power that fell on the arrogant young man was only slightly dimmer than the light projected by the holy emblem, indicating that receiving divine power indeed required talent, and the arrogant young man's talent was only slightly better than nothing.

Do I have this talent? Jiang Junming didn't know. After so long, he didn't know if the AI had analyzed the divine power of the Goddess of Care.

"That herb shop apprentice should be eliminated, right?"

"What's there to see? He will definitely be kicked out. Receiving divine power, can anyone do it? Didn't you see that Little Dwight could only receive a little divine power?"

"Exactly, if even he could receive divine power, wouldn't the priests be everywhere and the holy knights as numerous as dogs? That would be a disaster."

"You're asking for death, daring to mock the priests! You can't even talk about the knight! If you want to die, don't drag me down."

"..."

The believer from the Care Church raised his head, listening to the people around him discussing the Jiang Junming sent by the Care Church. He looked embarrassed. Although he knew that what they said was true and Jiang Junming would find it difficult to pass the entrance test of the Church Academy, he still looked at Jiang Junming's thin figure walking into the temple with great hope.

Jiang Junming stood in front of the holy emblem, and a beam of light fell, shining on him. Jiang Junming immediately felt a warm and gentle force enter his body, as comfortable as basking in the sun in winter. But within this force, Jiang Junming vaguely felt a hint of awe and dominance.

The light of the holy emblem fell on Jiang Junming, with no light spilling out, all entering Jiang Junming's body. Several priests of the temple looked at Jiang Junming in shock, their eyes wide open.

What happened? Why did the divine power projected by the holy emblem on this ordinary young man... actually... actually... be completely received? The priest of the Justice Church rubbed his eyes hard, thinking it might be an illusion from looking at the holy emblem's light all day. But when he looked again, it was still the same; there was no light spilling out from Jiang Junming's body.

Perfect reception of divine power?

It was actually perfect reception of divine power!

How could this be? Mogerem looked at Jiang Junming, bathed in the light of the holy emblem, with all the light entering his body, not passing through, not shimmering around him, all entering, received by that ordinary young man...

The priest of the Justice Church didn't know what to say. Could he completely receive the divine power of the holy emblem? Definitely not. If he couldn't, how could that young man completely receive the divine power? Has there ever been a record in the church of anyone perfectly receiving divine power? The priest of the Justice Church searched his memory but couldn't recall anything.

With a loud noise, a clamor erupted from the crowd. What was that? What did they see? No one dared to believe what they saw. The young man from the Care Church had no light on his body, what did this mean?

"Heaven, what did I see?"
