The Divine Envoy chuckled. "Rise, my warriors."
Jiang Chen whispered, "Why aren't you kneeling?"
"Nonsense. He's a warrior type. Why would I, a Priest, need to kneel? Once we reach First-stage, we'll go meet the Divine Envoy and accept tasks from him. Upon completing the Divine Envoy's test, we can advance to First-stage."
Ruo Li continued, "Black Phoenix is a warrior. Once the Alliance competition is over, she'll progress to First-stage and take on Hell-level difficulty. She's trying to curry favor with the Divine Envoy because there are different options within Hell-level difficulty."
Jiang Chen had an epiphany. So she's thinking about connections and backdoors. This world isn't just about fighting and killing; it's about networking and human interaction.
Ruo Li went on, "The Divine Envoy is particularly fond of Black Phoenix, especially since she has awakened her Talent. There's a high probability he will let Black Phoenix complete her class advancement."
