Chapter 10: Long Xingyu's Absolute Approval, Ye Ling is a Born Knight!

Hearing these words from Ye Ling, the corners of Long Xingyu's mouth could not help but curve upward.

He must be happy that there is one more peak power for the future of the Human race to resist the Demon Race.

However, business comes first: "I originally intended for you to continue training with these Puppet Knights, but looking at it now, there doesn't seem to be much opportunity for that."

"Then let us proceed to the next step of special training; among all my training methods, this is the only one suitable for you, aside from entering the Demon Race territory for actual combat."

"I will now slowly suppress my strength level to the Second Tier Peak, the same as yours, and our equipment will be identical, so as to train your combat techniques and point out the problems you have."

"Then please, Teacher, give me your guidance!" Ye Ling nodded, and a golden light slowly flickered on the bamboo sword in his hand; although he had experienced quite a bit of actual combat.

He had never been guided by an existence stronger than himself in terms of his own combat ability! Right now, being able to have Long Xingyu, a peak Punishment Knight, guide him was naturally the best thing possible.

Actual combat is what can truly, truly test a Knight's ability.

Likewise, Long Xingyu had just received too much shock from Ye Ling and needed to find something to counter it; it was impossible for him, a Divine Seal Knight acting as a teacher, to end up unable to teach anything at all, right? That would be too shameful.

Therefore, he intended to get his own back! In the name of training! He was a Divine Seal Knight, after all; easily bullying such a little Knight shouldn't be a big problem!

It was just that Ye Ling didn't know this situation, otherwise he would truly be dumbfounded.

This Long Xingyu was not the same as the one he knew.

One must know that the Long Xingyu in the original work would not have such emotions.

And now, the sixty-something-year-old Long Xingyu actually had such childlike thoughts.

He was just like an old urchin! Long Xingyu moved, the bamboo sword in his hand moved along with him, his body began to move simply, and those basic Knight skills were perfectly displayed in his hands.

Even though he suppressed his cultivation, the pressure was still overwhelming.

Ye Ling did not have the slightest fear; he took a few long breaths and began to act.

"Teacher Xingyu, even if your strength is suppressed, you are not some weakling, but a true Divine Seal Knight!"

If it were a real battle, facing a Divine Seal Knight, Ye Ling would definitely admit defeat.

But since it was suppressed to the same realm, even if it was a Divine Seal Knight, Ye Ling wanted to give it a try! Even if the possibility was very low! Long Xingyu did not understand Ye Ling, but Ye Ling understood Long Xingyu's pride very well! During the battle, Ye Ling did not slacken in the slightest, staring fixedly, wanting to find the problem and then counter it.

The two charged forward head-on.

The sword edge was not sharp, but it was very stable; although Ye Ling was at a disadvantage in the short term, he successfully blocked this sword from Long Xingyu.

"Not bad, you successfully blocked my sword in the first round."

"Your foundation is still very strong; then I will be a bit more serious next, let's see how you respond." Long Xingyu's expression was unfocused; although he knew Ye Ling's talent was not bad.

But in the battle, he did not regard Ye Ling as his true opponent.

But this was exactly the moment Ye Ling was waiting for.

"This opportunity came very quickly!" Ye Ling thought calmly to himself.

He thrust his sword; this was a First Tier skill, Thrust, as ordinary as could be.

Long Xingyu saw Ye Ling's flaw at a glance.

"Who are you testing, kid? I am a Divine Seal Knight." Long Xingyu said helplessly, continuing: "Using my own moves to deal with me is the most foolish way to use them."

"Moreover, what you are using has quite a few flaws; it looks more like you are mechanically copying them while adding your own inappropriate understanding."

Having said that, he held the bamboo sword in front of him, intending to break this move using the method to counter a standard Thrust skill.

However, what Long Xingyu did not expect was that Ye Ling's figure instantly shifted; the body that was originally thrusting suddenly changed, twisting to stab at Long Xingyu's arm.

Long Xingyu reacted quickly, immediately finding a solution and dodging instantly.

A hint of a smile appeared on the corner of Ye Ling's mouth.

Long Xingyu was very arrogant and believed that Ye Ling could not exceed his control.

He also believed that Ye Ling was mechanically copying his own fighting method.

But he did not understand Ye Ling.

He did not calculate that Ye Ling's sword attack on his arm was just a feint; what Ye Ling really wanted to attack was the bamboo sword in Long Xingyu's hand.

"Pure Light Blade!"

"Cross Slash!"

Two basic First Tier skills were used continuously, moving toward Long Xingyu's position in a very strange way.

If it were Long Xingyu's original ability, this sword would be nothing; he wouldn't even be able to break his defense if he stood still. But now that he was suppressed to the Second Tier Peak, with Long Xingyu's suppression ability.

Naturally, both his internal and external Spiritual Power were completely suppressed.

And these two swords hit his arm; even though his combat consciousness was still at the Divine Seal level, his body, suppressed to the Second Tier quasi-Knight peak, could not react instantly.

With a flick, the bamboo sword in his hand flew out instantly and stuck into the soil, standing straight up as if it were a tombstone.

???

Although he wasn't injured, the slight numbness made Long Xingyu directly dazed; wait, what is going on with this child? Is he fighting properly? What kind of tactic is this? As a Punishment Knight, instead of thinking about attacking me head-on and testing actual combat power, he came to—ah, bah, he came to sneak attack.

Is this something a Punishment Knight should play? "Teacher Xingyu, in a battle between two at the Second Tier Peak, the weapon has been knocked away; this should be considered your failure, right?" Ye Ling smiled slightly and turned to perform a Knight's salute.

He put away the bamboo sword in his hand.

And the Fusion Degree of the Six-Winged Angel in his mind also increased a bit, reaching 82%!

The time until true awakening.

It is getting close.

Long Xingyu was very helpless.

Ye Ling was right; if it were a situation where both were at the Second Tier Peak, he would have no way to instantly increase his internal and external Spiritual Power, and if the battle continued, he wouldn't just lose, he might even die! Moreover, this battle did not last long; it ended within a minute. In a battle between a Divine Seal Knight and a quasi-Knight, this is a very normal thing.

But now the result was completely reversed, because the loser was this Divine Seal Knight!

However, a loss is a loss; although Long Xingyu was very arrogant, he was not someone who couldn't accept defeat.

It could be seen that Ye Ling did not make the decision suddenly; the operation just now was clearly calculated in advance.

He was quite interested in this and asked: "Tell me, what was your combat strategy?"

Ye Ling said calmly: "With my combat experience, fighting a Divine Seal Knight, even at the same level, I can only choose to look for opportunities to have a chance of winning."

"And you were not truly focused during our battle, and your personality is also extremely arrogant; that was my opportunity."

However, after saying this, Ye Ling could not help but touch his nose in embarrassment: "It's just that I didn't expect you to be even more extreme than I thought."

"I just didn't expect this opportunity to come so quickly."

Long Xingyu: "."

Damn.

Had he been looked down upon by this new disciple? Long Xingyu's mindset collapsed a little all of a sudden, but... a loss is a loss.

He had to admit this point.

He was indeed too arrogant, even somewhat extreme.

If it were against fellow Humans, it would be easy to talk, and he wouldn't use lethal force, but if he carried this mentality while fighting the Demon Race, Long Xingyu would die a miserable death.

A Demon God, or even just the self-detonation of an ordinary Ninth Rank Demon Race member in a fit of rage, would be enough to put him in a difficult spot.

This was indeed a problem that had hovered over Long Xingyu's head for a long time, but because he was a Divine Seal Knight, no one dared to question it.

And he wouldn't listen to those who could question him.

It was only Ye Ling... this head-on blow from his newly accepted disciple made Long Xingyu completely sober up.

He really didn't want to admit it, but he knew that at the same age, he truly could not compare to Ye Ling in this regard.

He is a natural-born Knight!

Whether it is the Knight's Ten Commandments, his personality, or even that Bright Innate Spiritual Energy which could be called monstrous even before it has awakened!

Thinking of this, Long Xingyu looked toward Ye Ling's position: "Although I am the teacher, today, you child have actually taught me a lesson."

After speaking, he slowly bowed toward Ye Ling's position and performed a Knight salute.

Seeing this, Ye Ling was stunned; good heavens, Teacher Xingyu, what are you doing?

I only knocked your sword away, I didn't knock your brain away, what kind of situation is this?

Originally, he also intended to go over to support Long Xingyu, but just at this moment, a very deep voice rang out:

"You don't need to feel surprised by his behavior; this shortcoming of Xingyu has always existed firmly within him, and your change this time can even be said to have saved his life."
