Chapter 18: Berserker Warrior Sub-Temple's Wang Yuanyuan, Golden Dragon King Bloodline!
Nalan Shu's office.
At this moment, Li Xin was helping Nalan Shu organize documents when he suddenly came across a different file.
It was a battle invitation.
Opening it, he found it came from the Berserker Warrior Sub-Temple in Kuangsha City, not far away.
Nalan Shu quickly unfolded the invitation and read it.
By the end, his face turned a little green, with a hint of helplessness.
"What's wrong, Uncle Nalan?" Li Xin asked, confused at seeing his reaction.
Taking the envelope from his hand, she quickly understood.
The contents were full of provocative language, challenging the knight sub-temple and inviting them to a duel.
"Age limit: ten to twenty years old. Any rank is allowed. Battles will proceed one-on-one until only one side remains," Li Xin read aloud, a fierce battle spirit flashing in her eyes.
"Uncle Nalan, since they sent a battle invitation, we should accept! Otherwise, people will look down on our Haoyue Sub-Temple!"
Li Xin spoke passionately, waving the new sword she had just received from home.
Hearing this, Nalan Shu sighed.
"If it were the old Berserker Warrior Sub-Temple, it would be fine. Our Haoyue Sub-Temple wouldn't necessarily lose, and we could probably win easily."
"After all, knights have an advantage over warriors. But according to my information, the Berserker Warrior Sub-Temple now has a special-bloodline genius with terrifying abilities. Based on the intelligence, even if she's not a fourth-tier warrior, she's at least at the peak of third-tier."
"What's her name?" Li Xin asked.
"Wang Yuanyuan. It's said she has ties to the main Warrior Temple, and her grandfather might even be the Temple Master."
Nalan Shu spoke seriously, his eyes full of helplessness.
"I..." Li Xin gritted her teeth, knowing she wouldn't be able to win. But then she thought of something and said, "Then let Little Brother Ye Ling fight! His spiritual power may be low, but you saw his combat skills. They're terrifying, and his talent is overwhelming!"
"He might just have a chance!"
Li Xin spoke firmly.
Hearing this, Nalan Shu initially wanted to refute her, but held his tongue.
He had planned to say that Ye Ling might not stand a chance either, but seeing Li Xin's determined look, he reconsidered.
After all, this battle had to happen. Haoyue Sub-Temple could lose, but they could not cower.
That would betray the spirit of knighthood.
Moreover, right now, Ye Ling was the hope of Haoyue Sub-Temple.
In the future, Ye Ling's achievements would be tied to their temple.
And he would also join the Demon Hunt Squad.
If they only allowed him to cultivate without ever experiencing real battle, it would not be good for him.
He needed the tempering of combat.
Even if they lost, it would increase Ye Ling's battle experience and strengthen his determination to grow.
That made it worthwhile.
Nalan Shu nodded.
Seeing this, Li Xin smiled and left the office, heading toward Ye Ling's residence.
Ye Ling's room.
"Whew, my understanding of space power has deepened again, and I've successfully learned my second soul skill."
Ye Ling could feel the space-time energy filling his body, a smile appearing on his face.
It was clear his strength had increased greatly.
Even if his spiritual power hadn't grown much.
Sensing the two powerful martial souls spiraling deep in his soul, a smile flickered in Ye Ling's mind, accompanied by a deep, burning ambition.
With Ye Ling's current strength, he could battle top-tier third-rank opponents across any profession—and even defeat them!
As for fourth-rank opponents, even if he couldn't win outright, it would be hard for him to lose either. That was the extent of Ye Ling's current power!
If he could sign in once more and awaken another martial soul or other abilities, it would be incredible.
After all, if you only consider the later parts of the series (excluding Douluo 1), there were countless terrifying martial souls and bloodlines—especially the Golden Dragon King bloodline possessed by Tang Wulin, the protagonist of Douluo 3. That bloodline was extraordinary, its full potential comparable to the Angel God or the Time-Space Dragon, even reaching the level of a God King!
If Ye Ling could obtain that bloodline, it would be an absolute blessing!
He wouldn't even need to manage external spiritual power; just by letting it be, his body's strength would continuously rise!
A truly wonderful thing!
Thinking this, Ye Ling stood up, a serious look flashing in his eyes as he retracted his aura.
He walked to the door and opened it.
And just like before, there was Li Xin standing outside again, almost scaring him.
"Sister Xin, what's the matter?" Ye Ling asked. He could guess that Li Xin had urgent news but had waited out of respect for his cultivation.
Seeing Ye Ling appear, Li Xin smiled sweetly and explained the situation in full.
"Perfect timing!" Ye Ling muttered. "I wanted a place to sign in, and now there's an opportunity. Maybe I can obtain something that suits a warrior and boosts my strength."
A warrior, huh!
Unlike the other five professions, warriors cultivated both internal and external spiritual power. In a way, they were living shields.
External spiritual power was a major part of their strength.
"What's the name of that genius?" Ye Ling asked, trying to see if he recognized the name.
"Wang Yuanyuan," Li Xin answered honestly.
Hmm.
It sounded familiar.
"So it's her," Ye Ling thought.
He was quite familiar with Wang Yuanyuan. In the original story, she was one of the fiercest fighters among the protagonists, second only to Cai'er.
In fact, in some ways, she was even crazier than Cai'er.
Cai'er would hesitate at times because of emotions.
But Wang Yuanyuan was different. Whenever she faced demons, she fought with terrifying ferocity, even risking her life to slay them.
She was known as the Bloody Valkyrie!
Regardless of anything else, Ye Ling liked Wang Yuanyuan's character—a heart that charged forward without hesitation and the stories behind her.
Her talent was terrifying as well. While she might not reach the monstrous levels of Long Haochen, Sheng Cai'er, or Chen Ying'er, she was definitely no weaker than Lin Xin with his seventy-four innate spiritual power—maybe even having eighty points herself!
She was certainly a fitting target for a sign-in.
Thinking this, Ye Ling didn't hesitate.
He looked at Li Xin and nodded. "Alright. When do we leave?"
"Immediately," Li Xin replied.
The journey from Haoyue City to Kuangsha City wasn't far—only about a day's travel.
Nalan Shu soon led a group of ten knights, including Ye Ling and Li Xin, into the Berserker Warrior Sub-Temple in Kuangsha City.
As soon as they stepped into the temple, a mechanical electronic voice echoed in Ye Ling's mind.
[Host has entered a special area: Kuangsha City Berserker Warrior Sub-Temple. Sign-in available.]
"Sign in," Ye Ling commanded.
[Sign-in successful. Host has obtained the Golden Dragon King Bloodline (First Nine Layers)!]
