"What's up with that woman?"

Lu Ban always felt that she seemed to be particularly interested in him.

If it really is the spirit of Shenying, could it be because of its rejection of outsiders?

Lu Ban looked at the mask again, and there seemed to be more scars on it.

"This mask allows me to disguise myself when facing the Bandaged Man. I can also use the characteristics of the Bandaged Man to sneak into some places at certain times."

Lu Ban thought.

The [Alienation] level of this mask makes it look like the person wearing the mask will turn into a bandaged man.

The obvious side effect is that you will hear all kinds of mumbling from the filth and bandaged men, and if you are unlucky, you might explode on the spot.

But Lu Ban didn't think the problem was big.

If he wears it again now, it might not explode.

"nice one."

After putting the mask back, Lu Ban walked around the yard again but found no trace of the woman.

"Is it because I buried something next to her yesterday that she came here to retaliate? You are too petty. She is your miko after all."

Lu Ban felt that this guy was really petty.

He picked up the note Amber left for him.

Written on it in neat handwriting were the words "The palace examination will be held this afternoon, I hope you can come and see it."

Lu Ban had been informed before that the palace examination had a very high status in the tests for shrine maidens, and getting the first place in the palace examination almost meant that one would be able to securely become the chief shrine maiden.

Therefore, Amber hopes that Lu Kan can witness her surpassing everyone and becoming the well-deserved high priestess.

After packing up his things, Lu Ban went to look at the little girl, but there was no sign of her. When he arrived at the temple where the palace examination was held, he found that many priestesses had gathered there to watch the competition.

The competition has not yet started, but the venue has already let Lu Ban know the event.

Kyudo.

This is an archery dojo.

Considering Amber's archery skills, Lu Ban felt that there was no problem.

But he also thought, why is it necessary to test archery skills when selecting the chief priestess?

Shouldn't controlling pure fire be a technique or a word? It feels a bit wrong to use this kind of project, which ordinary people can perform after practicing, as the selection for the main priestess.

"Kyudo is a tribute to the God Sakura. The first son of God used bows and arrows to exorcise demons, so Kyudo is the practice of the regional God Sakura."

Lu Ban didn't know when the cold witch lady appeared beside him. She seemed to see Lu Ban's confusion and explained.

"At the same time, the way of bowing in such occasions can better show the realm of cultivation. If you can't get rid of external objects, you can't see the world. As a son of God, the most important thing is vision. Being able to see filth is the most important part."

"I see, so it's to train your perception, right? I've noticed that every time the God's Son Pavilion shoots arrows, they're very fast. It seems that the head priestess foresaw the appearance of the filth in advance, so she was able to prepare in time."

Lu Ban was thoughtful and thought of something.

"So, will the Son of God not come to witness her successor?"

Lu Ban looked around but didn't see anyone who looked like the chief priestess.

"Sama Shenzi won't be here. She is needed for something more important."

The miko said in a cold tone.

"Oh, then there shouldn't be any official decision."

Lu Ban thought it was pretty good too.

He saw that amid the noise, a witch came to the archery position. She held a longbow and arrow in her hand, and looked at the target in front of her with a serious expression.

In this environment, it is obvious that she seems slightly affected and her stance is somewhat shaky.

Maybe the oppressive power of amber is also a factor.

It’s like when you’re playing a game and you just come out of the house with your straw sandals on and find that the person laning against you is a big man with six pieces of equipment. I guess praying that you don’t get killed by a tower dive is the last thing you can do.

The witch prepared for a moment, calmed herself down, and started shooting arrows.

Ding——

The first arrow hit the bull's eye.

Even though she appeared nervous, the priestess did a great job when she was sure to hit the target.

"This is the most basic of the basics. What comes next is the real test."

The miko lady beside Lu Ban explained.

He saw that the witch shot another arrow.

This arrow hit the bull's eye again, right next to the previous one, and occupied the entire bull's eye.

In this case, the third arrow will definitely not hit the bull's eye.

Ding——

Sure enough, the third arrow deviated slightly due to the previous two arrows and failed to hit the center of the bull's eye.

The next seven arrows were lackluster.

Lu Ban saw that after the last arrow was shot, the witch felt a moment of loss, but more of a sense of relief, as if a mission had finally come to an end.

The next few shrine maidens performed similarly. Even the one with the Sanada family crest was only hit by seven arrows.

At this moment, the whole audience suddenly became quiet.

Lu Ban saw Amber appear.

Compared to other priestesses, she is more petite, which makes the bow in her hand appear a little bigger.

She was holding the arrow, and you could see her nervousness. She took two deep breaths, and Amber's eyes swept over the surrounding priestesses.

She saw Lu Ban.

They only looked at each other for a moment, but Lu Ban did see the light in her eyes.

Amber seemed determined.

This is the life that has been reached by giving up the freedom that one might have. If one loses here, then it will be completely meaningless.

With this thought in mind, she drew the bowstring.

She closed her eyes and all the noise around her left her.

Silence fell.

At this time, Amber saw a spot of light appearing in front of her.

Along with this spot of light, she could feel the existence of her own body, just like a sketch with only white lines in a pure black picture, everything was deconstructed into the most basic elements.

"So this is what it means to see the world."

Amber can see the lights of thousands of homes outside the dojo, and the black mold on the vast ocean.

She felt that her heart was clear and integrated with the sky, the earth and the ocean.

In such a natural state, the arrow leaves the string.

Ding——

The arrow landed squarely on the bull's eye, without a doubt.

Immediately afterwards, the second arrow followed.

However, the second arrow directly split the first arrow into four parts, pierced through the entire arrow from the tail, and firmly nailed it on the center of the bull's eye.

The third arrow, the fourth arrow, and ten arrows in a row, each arrow landed in the same position as the previous arrow, steadily and firmly, leaving no room for argument.

All the priestesses present fell silent as Amber shot the arrows, holding their breath until the last arrow. After hesitating for dozens of seconds, they burst into applause and exclamations.

Lu Ban also applauded. He saw Amber, who was surrounded by a group of priestesses, looking at him. She smiled, and the background was cherry blossoms falling at a speed of five centimeters per second.

She will become the Son of God and protect this world. It was not until this moment that Lu Ban felt this clearly.
