Chapter 790 - 676: The Chosen Deputies

Chapter 790: Chapter 676: The Chosen Deputies

Chen Fengrui enjoyed the focus of everyone’s gaze, explaining with no small amount of pride:

"The Lord has granted me two powers, one of which is this ghostly speed, which should be called—[Ghost Shadows]!"

As if in response to his words, the rapidly rotating information on the surface of the light sphere suddenly froze, clearly displaying a line of large text and a detailed introduction.

[Ghost Shadows]: Your steps seem to be endowed with an eerie life, able to spontaneously summon loyal and mysterious ghost shadows to follow behind you.

The ghost shadows move silently, causing confusion and bewilderment to the enemies.

Luo Ji immediately spoke up, his voice incredibly excited:

"In addition, I have acquired another ability called—[Blade Armor]!"

The surface of the light sphere changed again, displaying a clear introduction of another skill:

[Blade Armor]:

Your skin and muscles appear to be bestowed with a unique toughness. Whenever you suffer a physical attack, your body can adjust the point of force distribution like a living entity, cleverly diffusing the impact across your entire body, greatly reducing damage, and able to reflect a portion of the damage back.

Current effect: Reflects 15% of the physical damage received (reflected damage type is physical).

"Hiss—!"

Seeing the detailed descriptions of these two skills, gasps of amazement immediately arose among the crowd.

They were not only surprised by the powerful effects of the skills, but also because they discovered that, after Chen Fengrui and Luo Ji received their blessings, the characters of these two corresponding skills on the light sphere were no longer fuzzy and flickering, but became legible.

Those with quick minds instantly attempted again to place their hands on the light sphere, silently reciting the names of these two skills in their hearts.

Immediately, a new prompt appeared, no longer the cold and unchanging [Insufficient Exchange Authority], but—[Your Blessing Points are insufficient.]

"Blessing Points?!"

The crowd instantly realized that the string of numbers following the skills was what was known as "Blessing Points."

To exchange for these powerful abilities, one needs to consume this special "currency"!

They quickly looked closely at the two skills clearly displayed on the light sphere, and indeed saw the prices below the introductions:

[Ghost Shadows Lv1] - Blessing Points: 3000

[Blade Armor (Passive Lv1)] - Blessing Points: 4000

Although they still did not understand how to acquire these crucial "Blessing Points," the path to strength seemed to have revealed clear rules.

This allowed them to see a defined direction amidst confusion.

However, aside from the excitement, some felt a strong sense of displeasure.

A voice couldn’t help but spring up:

"Why?! Why were you two granted directly by the Lord without consuming any Blessing Points for exchange?!"

This question echoed the thoughts of many, and all eyes once again focused on Chen Fengrui and Luo Ji.

Facing the crowd’s skepticism, Chen Fengrui showed no fear. Instead, he raised his chin, the fervor in his eyes even more intense:

"Praise my Lord! This is probably because... I have listened more profoundly to the Lord’s revelations!"

He glanced around at everyone, his voice carrying a sense of superiority and mission:

"The Lord never demands anything from us, but compared to you, I understand more what I can do for the Lord. Even if that is insignificant in the face of the Lord’s great power."

"What is it? What exactly have you done for the Lord?" Someone pressed urgently.

Chen Fengrui did not hide his pride, and loudly declared:

"I am willing to give my life to clean the Lord’s garden!!!"

"Clean... the garden?"

The crowd was stunned, confusion and puzzlement written all over their faces.

The Lord’s garden? What kind of place is that? What exactly does cleaning mean?

Some cast questioning glances at Luo Ji, hoping to get answers from him.

Luo Ji was also thinking rapidly; he suspected that his favor from the Lord might be related to that broken mirror.

But he naturally wouldn’t disclose this guess to others, so he rolled his eyes and mimicked Chen Fengrui’s tone:

"Perhaps it’s because I was the first to reach out and touch the light sphere? I have more faith in the Lord’s grace, a greater desire for strength, and the courage to take action to fight for it?

The Lord likes my courage?!!"

The deputies listening to their explanations showed deep contemplation, regardless of whether they believed them or not.

Soon after, almost everyone started roaring madly in their hearts, voicing their determination to the "Lord" in the void:

"Praise my Lord! I also yearn for power! I also am willing to clean Your garden, Lord!"

"Lord, please look at me! My courage is no less than theirs!"

"Wherever the garden may be, whatever needs to be cleaned, I am willing to do it!"

Even though they couldn’t yet understand what "cleaning the garden" truly meant, it did not stop them from shouting in their hearts with the loudest and most sincere voice.

"Lord" residing within the light sphere silently "listened" to all the deputies’ heartfelt cries.

The tumultuous and desire-filled prayers resembled the most melodious symphony.

Feng Mu smiled slightly, and his thoughts sifted through, instantly selecting half of those who shouted the loudest and seemed most "sincere."

The next moment—

Swish, swish, swish, swish!

No fewer than twenty-two golden beams of light fell once more from the sky! Accurately enveloping the selected half of the deputies!

"Ah!"

"Lord! Thank you, Lord!"

"It’s me! It’s me!"

Those enveloped in the light beam burst into cries of joy, their bodies slowly levitating in the golden brilliance, their faces radiating indescribable excitement and happiness.

Meanwhile, the other deputies who were not selected could only kneel in a daze, or look up at the dazzling beams of light, their faces filled with disappointment and reluctance.
