Chapter 13 Long Haochen's Gratitude, Dragon of Space and Time, Spacetime Shuttle, Refusal!
The next moment, the two daggers in Ye Ling's hands were actually sent back into his spirit by Ye Ling, overlaying each other, converging under certain conditions.
Soon, the two daggers merged again, transforming into a dragon-like creature radiating a special light, shimmering with waves of a unique aura. If Ye Ling wasn't mistaken, this aura was likely the spacetime aura of the Dragon of Space and Time.
"When time does not emerge, space reigns supreme. When time and space unite, it is spacetime, transcending all."
"If the Dragon of Space and Time, having truly manifested and mastered the power of spacetime, were unleashed, its might would likely not be beneath that of the true Dragon God."
Feeling the aura emanating from the Dragon of Space and Time, Ye Ling's expression shifted slightly. The power of spacetime – a good thing.
Thinking this, Ye Ling no longer hesitated but began to perceive the powerful force belonging to the Dragon of Space and Time Martial Soul within his own soul, starting to enter a deeper level of evolution and enhancement.
The next day.
Long Haochen arrived before the Testing Tower, gripped the greatsword in his hand, and struck towards the tower's position.
Instantly.
Corresponding characters appeared within it.
[40]
Yes, exactly forty points of external spiritual energy.
"My spiritual energy, after yesterday's event, directly broke through to forty points?"
Long Haochen's small mouth gaped open, completely stunned, slightly excited.
Simultaneously, a trace of gratitude surfaced in his mind.
He understood clearly that this was brought about by his elder brother, Ye Ling.
A month ago, his external spiritual energy was still around eight or nine points, still some distance away from passing the Knight Squire assessment – a distance he might have needed failure to bridge.
And Ye Ling, through a month of improvement, had brought him to twenty points. Then yesterday, by giving up the opportunity, allowed him to reach forty points.
The disparity between before and after struck Long Haochen like a blow to the head, deeply shaking him.
"Sigh, Brother Ye is too good to me. I really don't know how to repay him," Long Haochen murmured to himself, looking at the number above, a flicker of emotion in his eyes.
Just as Long Haochen was sighing emotionally, Instructor Balzac walked over with Long Xingyu.
Long Haochen quickly turned around.
"Haochen, this is your future instructor. You can call him Teacher Xingyu," Instructor Balzac said, and finally told Long Haochen some of Long Xingyu's background and introduction.
Traces of admiration and awe flashed in his eyes. To him, a genuine Knight was already terrifying enough, and Long Xingyu's imposing pressure was so formidable, he had to be at least a Fifth Rank Knight, right?
Hearing that Long Xingyu would be teaching him next, Long Haochen was slightly startled; after all, Long Xingyu's appearance and aura did seem intimidating.
"Teacher Xingyu?" Long Haochen was somewhat dazed. Suddenly, he thought of something, an idea flashing in his eyes. This person should be a genuine Knight, perhaps even above Sister Li Xin?
After all, although Sister Li Xin was a genuine Knight, her pressure wasn't this terrifying.
Looking at Long Xingyu, he said seriously: "Teacher Xingyu, can you additionally teach other disciples?"
Long Xingyu had been observing Long Haochen, quite satisfied with his temperament, and was also curious who could have provided such a terrifyingly effective Thousand Strikes Marrow Cleansing.
However, hearing Long Haochen's words, he was also taken aback. For whom was he choosing to do this?
It was the first time someone had tried to bargain with him about teaching.
But, remembering his purpose, he nodded and said: "As long as they grasp the Ten Knightly Codes and possess sufficient talent, I can agree!"
Then, Long Xingyu suddenly thought of Long Haochen's relationships with others, abruptly realizing something, and said: "Could it be Ye Ling you're talking about?"
Long Xingyu was very familiar with Ye Ling!
Seriously, how could he not be familiar?
Twelve years old!
Ye Ling was only twelve!
A genuine Knight at twelve, and with such high purity of light affinity. Just sensing it a few times, Long Xingyu felt that Ye Ling's innate internal spiritual energy was at least seventy points, meaning a constitution of the Angel of Light level.
With this level of talent, as long as he didn't court death, reaching the Ninth Rank was basically guaranteed, and he could even charge to deeper levels!
In the future fight against the demons, there would be another powerhouse.
A good thing!
A great thing!
"Yes, it's Brother Ye." Long Haochen nodded frantically. He had secured a powerhouse as a teacher for Brother Ye, which could count as repaying some of the debt.
His elder brother was so good to him; he definitely couldn't fall short.
Hearing this, Long Xingyu nodded. If it was Ye Ling, then it was indeed worth waiting a moment for: "Alright."
Inside Ye Ling's room.
At this moment, extremely brilliant, special rays of light flickered around Ye Ling's body, filled with waves of an aura that felt peculiar to others.
Then, Ye Ling's figure became somewhat ethereal.
The next moment, his body trembled, and a special halo flashed around him.
He instantly disappeared from his original spot.
From the front of the room, he arrived at the back, just one step away from going straight out...
Sensing this, Ye Ling opened his eyes, a hint of a smile flashing within them.
Hahaha, super stable!
"I've managed to grasp the Dragon of Space and Time, more or less. I can perform spacetime jumps within a certain range. Although the range is relatively small, once my mastery deepens, perhaps eventually, even across this continent, I could step from one extreme to the other."
Ye Ling felt the change and grinned.
What he had just used was the Dragon of Space and Time's innate first soul skill, Spacetime Shuttle, which allowed for jumps of a certain degree. However, all he had now was manipulation of space. As for time, that overpowered divine skill, he probably wouldn't have a chance to grasp it until the Ninth Rank or even later.
But, it wasn't a big problem. Even just the spatial skills were enough to let Ye Ling cheat.
Thinking this, Ye Ling looked outside. The sun was high, indicating some time had passed.
"Hiss, seems like I accidentally overdid the cultivation. Need to hurry out, or Sister Xin'er will get angry later," Ye Ling murmured.
Then, he opened the door.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Li Xin standing to the side, holding her sword, eyes closed tightly, seemingly pondering something.
Good heavens, if he didn't know Li Xin wouldn't do such a thing, Ye Ling might really think Li Xin was about to chop him.
"Sister Xin'er?" Ye Ling spoke.
"Hm?" Li Xin turned her head.
"Let's go," Ye Ling decided to strike first.
"Don't be in such a hurry to go back. Instructor Balzac is looking for you everywhere right now. If I hadn't stopped him, he was planning to charge directly into the Hao Yue Branch Hall to find you..." Li Xin said helplessly, silently complaining.
Hearing this, Ye Ling paused, then Li Xin grabbed his wrist and quickly pulled him away.
Odin Main Hall.
Ye Ling was swiftly brought here by Li Xin.
At this moment, Long Xingyu sat in place, not saying much, just continuously observing Long Haochen.
"Instructor Balzac," Ye Ling called out to Balzac.
When Balzac saw Ye Ling, his eyes lit up, but he didn't speak, instead pushing Ye Ling in front of Long Xingyu.
Long Xingyu turned his head to look at Ye Ling, truly beginning to size him up. Feeling the light aura on him made Long Xingyu feel very comfortable.
He even circulated his spiritual power, originally intending to probe his foundation thoroughly, but was repelled. It was feedback from the Six-Winged Angel.
Feeling this backlash, Long Xingyu was stunned for a moment, but instead of getting angry, a smile appeared on his face.
Not bad.
Even he couldn't fully probe him. Interesting, definitely not ordinary.
Long Xingyu developed a heart that cherished talent.
"Not bad, I am very satisfied. Ye Ling, are you willing to become my disciple and receive my guidance in the future?"
"As for the Hao Yue Branch Hall, I will personally go speak with Nalan Shu. Under my guidance, I dare not promise higher levels, but the Eighth Rank is absolutely guaranteed, and even in the future, you can reach the Ninth Rank."
Long Xingyu didn't dare make too bold a promise.
However, at this moment, his gaze sharpened, and waves of golden light flickered around his body. That knightly aura, how terrifying!
The terrifying pressure swept over Ye Ling, seemingly telling him of his own power!
He was confident that once his strength was revealed, he could definitely make Ye Ling agree to become his disciple!
He had this confidence.
Even Li Xin on the side thought so. She realized that someone seemed to be poaching her talent!
And it was a big shot with a significant background doing the poaching!
That would be difficult!
Just as she was about to speak, Ye Ling also spoke in the next moment.
However, the content of his words was unexpected: "Thank you for your recognition, but right now, I have no intention of leaving the Hao Yue Branch Hall."
