Vincent stepped forward. "You've all demonstrated remarkable talent."
His deep voice echoed across the silent arena. "But this alone isn't enough."
He slowly looked across the remaining contestants. "Anyone here is capable of locating and exorcising a two-hundred-year-old ghost."
His tone became much more serious. "So your next task is simple. Find the highest-level ghost that you're capable of exorcising. For this challenge, the church will assist all of you."
As he finished speaking, he nodded toward the entrance. The heavy wooden doors slowly opened.
A church priest dressed in spotless white robes calmly walked onto the stage.
The silver cross hanging from his neck gently swayed with each step.
He respectfully nodded toward the remaining eight contestants.
Although they were still young, he knew better than anyone that these eight mystical cultivators would almost certainly become extraordinary figures in the future.
Seeing this, Lana shifted her gaze toward Vincent.
