Chapter 103: Sorry, I'm Not Worthy

"It seems that the so-called 'White' should be within the Knight Sacred Mountain."

"It's just that I don't know exactly where."

Ye Ling pondered, but after a long moment, a glimmer of light appeared in the depths of his eyes.

It was not a big problem; there was still one month of time here, and this month was enough for him to roam across the entire Knight Sacred Mountain.

"First, I must find Long Lingxi, and then I must hurry to find them. Only by finding that so-called 'White' will I have the possibility of breaking through to the Fifth Rank."

"Moreover, being able to appear alongside Austin Griffin, he must be one of the greatest opportunities in this world, in this universe; I cannot miss this."

Ye Ling thought to himself, and without too much hesitation, he immediately stood up and, following the guidance in his heart, rushed toward a certain place.

As God-Favored Ones of the same attribute, he and Long Lingxi were able to attract each other. Although their cultivation was not yet high enough to pinpoint each other immediately, finding her was not a problem.

At the first opportunity, Ye Ling quickly climbed a small mountain peak. On the peak, his perception ability was even stronger, and he found Long Lingxi's location in an instant.

Without hesitation, he quickly continued to rush toward that place.

After about two hours, he finally found Long Lingxi in a plain.

At this moment, Long Lingxi was not sitting cross-legged in meditation, but was holding a sword in her hand, fighting with a Fifth-Level—that is, a Fourth-Rank—Red-Armored Earth Bear that was flashing with firelight.

Not all Magic Beasts in the Knight Sacred Mountain are of the light attribute.

It is just that there are no dark attributes, but Magic Beasts of other attributes still exist. They are more or less tainted by light, but they are not all the kind of peace-loving Magic Beasts.

Among them, there are still quite a few hot-tempered Magic Beasts.

This Red-Armored Earth Bear was just like that. When Long Lingxi passed by, it thought she had offended it and directly attacked her, clearly treating this little sister as a so-called soft persimmon.

Unfortunately, Long Lingxi did not follow in her father's footsteps and choose to practice as a Punishment Knight.

Instead, she specifically practiced Guardian Knight skills with her grandfather, Long Tianyin, focusing mainly on defense and healing.

But she was Long Xingyu's daughter, and she was still extremely powerful in the routines of punishment combat.

Wielding the sword in her hand, although both were at the Fourth Rank level, this Red-Armored Earth Bear was clearly no match for her. After the battle entered the tenth round, without even needing Long Lingxi to force it, the Red-Armored Earth Bear fled in a panic.

Long Lingxi did not intend to kill them all. She was kind by nature, and this sudden battle was just an accidental intrusion. Magic Beasts have a strong sense of territory, and Long Lingxi did not intend to dwell on it.

Of course, this was also because it was a Magic Beast in the Knight Sacred Mountain. If it were a Magic Beast outside the Knight Sacred Mountain... or those of the Demon Race who carried absolute murderous intent toward humans, Long Lingxi would absolutely never be soft-hearted. She was kind, but she would never be brainless.

"Not bad, Lingxi. It seems that in the past year and a half, you have improved not only your cultivation, but your combat ability has also made significant progress under the tempering of Teacher and Grand-teacher," Ye Ling witnessed everything, stepped forward, and praised.

"Brother Ye Ling, you've come." Ye Ling could perceive Long Lingxi's existence, and naturally, Long Lingxi could perceive his, though her perception ability was not as terrifying as his.

"How is it? Have you made any progress?" Ye Ling smiled.

"No." Long Lingxi shook her head, but her eyes lit up: "However, I am researching what kind of Magic Beast partner I can find."

"I heard from Dad that a Magic Beast partner is the second life of us Knights, a partner who shares life and death. I am wondering what kind of Magic Beast partner I can obtain," Long Lingxi said with some longing.

Poor little Lingxi, she still didn't know that while she was thinking about what Magic Beast partner she could obtain, fate had actually already assigned her the final partner.

"Lingxi, have you ever thought?" Ye Ling intended to be a bit tactful and shatter his good sister's dream: "Due to our physique issues, this trip will not be so smooth..."

Long Lingxi was not a young lady with a spoiled temper, but in front of people with whom she had an excellent relationship, she would have a different state, and Ye Ling was clearly such a person.

She huffed proudly: "As a God-Favored Physique Light Saintess! What Magic Beast would refuse to become my Magic Beast partner!"

"I am sorry, respected Light Saintess, I would very much like to become your partner, but I am not worthy..." The Star-Stellar Unicorn King looked at Long Lingxi in front of him and answered very sincerely.

Long Lingxi: "..."

Brother Ye Ling was actually right.

On the way, they had just found the Star-Stellar Unicorn King, and Long Lingxi wanted to show off in front of Ye Ling on the spot, but alas, this was the final result.

"How is it, Lingxi? I told you, as a Light Saintess, it is very difficult for you to succeed," Ye Ling stepped forward, pinched Long Lingxi's little face, and laughed.

"Brother Ye Ling!!!" Long Lingxi exploded on the spot.

This amused Ye Ling, who laughed out loud.

The Star-Stellar Unicorn King, meanwhile, looked at Ye Ling's direction with great curiosity, wondering what he was thinking in his mind.

As Magic Beasts, their evaluation of people is different from that of humans.

They look at the pure core essence, which is the Spiritual Power that has not been amplified.

But the young man in front of him was a bit strange, even a bit illusory. His Innate Internal Spiritual Power seemed to be only 20 points at a faint glance, but at a deeper look, it rose to 93 points, and then continuously climbed to 96 points... The three positions kept circling, and this situation left even the Star-Stellar Unicorn King stunned. What kind of freak was this?

Even he, an Eighth Level peak existence equivalent to a human Seventh Rank peak, could not discern his origin. This situation was truly inconceivable.

This Child of Light is very strange.

But undoubtedly, I am also not worthy! "Hmm? Star-Stellar Unicorn King, what are you thinking about while staring at me this time?" Ye Ling did not know why the Star-Stellar Unicorn King kept looking at him, but he noticed it.

"I just noticed that you are a bit strange, purely out of curiosity." Star-Stellar Unicorns are honest beings; they never lie. Even knowing that these words were very offensive, he still said them bluntly.

"Haha, it's normal to be strange; you're not the first to say that." Ye Ling laughed, but suddenly changed the subject and asked: "However, just a few days ago, did a strange event happen in the Sacred Mountain?"

The Star-Stellar Unicorn King nodded: "Yes, one day ago, two auras descended from the sky. One was Void Holiness, and one was Heavenly Punishment Destruction. The entire Knight Sacred Mountain was stirred up."

"But although that aura was terrifying, it did not cause much impact, and even the Knight Temple guards inside the Sacred Mountain had no reaction. However, we Magic Beasts did not dare to approach; that aura was too terrifying." After saying this, he suddenly realized: "Respected Child of Light, respected Light Saintess, I do not know what your purpose is, but the terror of those two auras is not something you two have the ability to touch right now."

"Please think twice."

Star-Stellar Unicorns love peace, and the Child of Light represents peace. Although there will be no such peace now, the Star-Stellar Unicorn King did not want to watch two Guangming Shen-Favored Ones fall just like that.

"Void and Destruction, huh?" Ye Ling pondered: "That must be it."

"I hope you can tell us in detail."

Hearing this, the Star-Stellar Unicorn King sighed, and then followed the wishes of Long Lingxi and Ye Ling, pointing out the location for them.

Ye Ling and Long Lingxi did not hesitate, and after bidding farewell to the Star-Stellar Unicorn King, they quickly rushed toward that place.

The Knight Sacred Mountain is very large, even with Yating's amplification, both of them could fly!

But the speed was still pathetic.

Even using the affinity of the Guangming Shen-Favored Physique toward the countless Magic Beasts, it still took them three full days to successfully rely on the guidance emerging from the imprint in their minds to head toward it.

Soon, they arrived in a plain.

Within a thousand-meter radius with that plain as the core, there was not a single Magic Beast, because in the very center of the plain, there were two strange balls of Spiritual Power, one black and one white, floating there, flashing with strange light.

If not for the fact that their origins were not weak, the two would likely have fainted instantly, let alone those Magic Beasts.

Not to mention, above the two rays of light, there existed a strange dragon soul; the dragon soul hissed and roared continuously within it, and although it displayed no rank, it was clearly not simple.

At the very least, a level seven Magic Beast—equivalent to a Human Sixth Rank—had just been overcome by greed and wanted to rush over, but it was instantly repelled before Ye Ling and Long Lingxi's four eyes, its life or death unknown. "Brother Ye Ling, if I haven't calculated wrong."

"The pair of 'black and white' seen within the illusion of the Eternal Throne should be the black and white Spiritual Power beneath that dragon soul."

"But that dragon soul is not simple; I even feel that if it breathed, it could grind the two of us directly. How are we supposed to pass?" Although Long Lingxi's body was tense, her voice trembled slightly; clearly, the little girl was also a bit intimidated.

"Lingxi, after you left the Eternal Throne, did an extra mark appear in your mind?" Ye Ling suddenly asked.

"Yes." Long Lingxi nodded decisively: "This mark can guide me to find them."

"That will do. Project this mark out from your mental world, and it should work. The Divine Seal Throne of Eternity and Creation is a Super Artifact after all; it wouldn't give us useless things for no reason," Ye Ling replied.

Having said that, his vast Spirit Sea Realm Mental Power also changed at this moment, projecting a mark out; Long Lingxi followed suit, and both of them gripped their Transfer Tokens tightly—if it didn't work, they would teleport away immediately.

It was just that after the dragon soul saw the mark and looked at Ye Ling and Long Lingxi, it made no further moves. After a moment, it flew up slowly, a dragon roar emerged, and it flew toward the sky, merging into a barrier.

How could the two of them not understand the meaning of this?

They immediately walked toward that place.

The feeling of danger no longer emanated from it. Although Long Lingxi was much more mature than her peers, she could not avoid a primary school student's temperament; seeing such a rare treasure, she could not help but take a step forward and observe it excitedly.

The first thing she observed was naturally the Spiritual Power flickering with Void and holy radiance.

It was just a pity that the Spiritual Power did not show any favor to Long Lingxi; instead, the touch of destruction substance beside her was constantly tugging at Long Lingxi's heartstrings, as if asking her to look over.

And Long Lingxi even instinctively wanted to respond.

This left her completely stunned.

As a Light Saintess, Long Lingxi excelled in defense and healing, and she was bewildered: why would she, a Light Saintess, be attracted to the aura of Heavenly Punishment Destruction? Moreover, looking at that aura, it clearly had some thoughts about her as well.

This... this all left Long Lingxi truly speechless.

She turned to Ye Ling pitifully, but her Brother Ye Ling nodded with a serious face. Long Lingxi didn't hear what he said, but judging by his lip movements, it seemed to be the phrase "follow your heart." Hearing this, Long Lingxi resolutely took a step forward. She was very confused about her own attributes and the situation of this black-purple aura in front of her, but she asked herself, she really wanted to touch the other party, and the other party was the same.

Then it didn't matter! As a Light Saintess, was she afraid of such an inexplicable black-purple Spiritual Power? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Since that was the case, she resolutely took a step forward, sat cross-legged, and felt it.

And Ye Ling had already completed this result; at this moment, he was completely immersed in this radiance.

"So profound, no wonder it appeared in the form of Spiritual Power."

"It is indeed Void; it has form yet seems non-existent, solid yet seems empty. And it is not just Void; what is that aura? So profound? It even gives me a feeling of Creation Origin," Ye Ling pondered inwardly, his eyes full of joy.

The moment this thought appeared, the pure White light plunged into Ye Ling's brow instantly. He sat cross-legged immediately, the Spiritual Power within his body began to churn continuously, and at this moment, his highest directive even caused the Moon Bright Vast Sea Spiritual Stove and Yating to close off.

Ye Ling entered a state of cultivation.

On the side, a skeleton flickering with strange light walked out slowly, gripping two swords tightly, looking at everything in front of it; it was clearly a Knight.

Looking at Ye Ling and Long Lingxi in front of him, the soul fire in his eyes burned slowly.

"I didn't expect that six thousand years have passed."

"The Knight Temple has actually produced two geniuses of this level at once, especially that young man, who is even more extraordinary; he has a strange feeling that does not belong to this world."

The Skeleton Knight began to observe the two people in front of him.

Suddenly, he froze.

Because he could see that the Spiritual Power radiating from that young man, Ye Ling, was no longer so-called gaseous Spiritual Power, but was suddenly changing, turning into Liquid Spiritual Power, and was constantly condensing and becoming introverted... This... the Skeleton Knight reacted instantly.

This young man!

Is actually breaking through to the Fifth Rank on the spot?! (End of chapter)
