Chapter 0543: Bodyguard
The cultivator responsible for recruiting entered the City Lord's Mansion by lifting the Gold Statue; hence, he was exceptionally concerned about this task. He looked at Qi Tian slantingly, his demeanor full of contempt. The onlookers also regarded Qi Tian with schadenfreude in their eyes—everyone was a competitor, and none of them wished to see Qi Tian successfully lift the Gold Statue. Moreover, they were certain that if Qi Tian failed to lift the Gold Statue before everyone, he would lose the qualification to compete with the others.
Qi Tian smiled, not wasting his breath. He strode straight to the Gold Statue, took a horse stance, his legs firmly rooted to the ground as if he had taken root. He reached out with both hands towards the Gold Statue.
Before Qi Tian's hands could touch the Gold Statue, runes on the statue began to circulate, generating a repelling force to prevent Qi Tian from placing his hands on it.
