At this moment, everyone below the stage looked at Jiang Chen as if they had seen a ghost.

Grey, the enforcer, also showed a hint of fear when he saw Jiang Chen looking at him.

He gritted his teeth and conceded, "Can we not fight?"

"Emm..."

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and replied, "It's not impossible, but..."

"But what?"

Grey's eyes lit up as he immediately asked.

"You four acknowledge her as your boss, and I won't fight," Jiang Chen said, pointing to Yuna not far from the stage with a faint smile. "Don't worry, you'll be the ones benefiting."

"What?"

Grey's face instantly showed a trace of anger, and he shouted, "You want me to acknowledge a little girl as my boss?!"

"Hmm?"

Jiang Chen tapped his staff again.

"No problem!"

Grey shivered and immediately shouted towards Yuna, "Boss!"

The three people behind him also hurriedly shouted, "Boss!"

Yuna looked at these people in a daze, then turned to Jiang Chen, her young face blushing slightly.

"From now on, she's my boss. Anyone who messes with her is messing with me, Grey!" Grey shouted to the somewhat bewildered students in the arena, then looked at Jiang Chen, "Satisfied?"

"Alright, we're done here!" Jiang Chen smiled slightly and walked off the martial arts stage.

At this moment, a beam of Holy Light suddenly descended in front of the training ground!

Immediately after, three figures emerged from it.

Leading them was a middle-aged man in a red robe.

He had a dignified appearance and exuded an aura of authority.

Behind him were two young women in pure white dresses.

They had blonde hair and blue eyes, their beauty was pure and elegant, and they emitted a holy white light.

Next, a peculiar scene unfolded.

Jiang Chen saw that everyone around him had disappeared.

He found himself in a glowing, pure white space.

In front of him were the three figures from before.

"An independent space? Why did they single me out?" Jiang Chen wondered.

The red-robed man looked over and said, "Hello."

"Cardinal Gandalf?" Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed in surprise.

"Oh? You know me?" The red-robed man raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised.

"The Bishop's mind-reading technique is quite impressive," Jiang Chen replied calmly.

He knew that the higher-ups in the church all had some mind-reading abilities.

He hadn't spoken out loud, but the other party still knew what he was thinking.

The red-robed man smiled, "A trivial skill. If you devoutly believe in our church, you can learn it too."

Jiang Chen waved his hand, "If it's just a trivial skill, then I won't bother."

"There are, of course, more powerful techniques, like the Holy Word," the red-robed man said slowly, looking at Jiang Chen. "I wish you to die alone!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chen felt a sudden tremor in his heart.

He saw a debuff appear on himself!

[You have been attacked by Holy Word. Upon death, you will drop all equipment. Duration: 30 minutes!]

"Cardinal Gandalf, we have no grievances. What do you mean by this?" Jiang Chen took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice.

"We indeed have no grievances," Gandalf smiled and asked, "What do you think of the Holy Word?"

"It's quite impressive, but it's a pity it's used on me," Jiang Chen said, his face serious, not understanding the other party's intention.

Gandalf looked at Jiang Chen and said slowly, "If you devoutly believe in our church, you can use it on others."

Jiang Chen suddenly understood and asked calmly, "So, the Bishop is here today to recruit me into the church?"

"Anyone who seeks the light can join our Holy Light Church. I believe you also seek the light, don't you?" Gandalf smiled.

"Of course, praise the light!" Jiang Chen suppressed his emotions and replied.

"I can feel that your heart is not pure. Perhaps you need more training," Gandalf said with a hint of regret, slowly raising his hand.

A peculiar wave began to form in his hand.

Jiang Chen's heart tightened, and he quickly grasped the talisman given to him by Yan Changfeng!

Suddenly.

The glowing white independent space shattered into pieces.

The surrounding students reappeared in his sight.

Jiang Chen realized he was back in the training ground.

"Big brother, are you alright..." Yuna quickly walked over to Jiang Chen, a trace of residual light in her left eye.

"Thank you," Jiang Chen knew it was Yuna who had broken the space.

"Huh?"

Gandalf's raised hand paused in mid-air, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes. "My Confession Space was broken, interesting..."

"Gandalf, you came to my Skyward Academy without even a greeting?" A slightly hoarse voice rang out.

An elderly man with a long beard, accompanied by four middle-aged men, quickly approached.

"Dean Bei Ming of Skyward Academy!" Seeing the newcomer, Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He then put away the sensing talisman in his hand.

He knew that he should be safe now.
