Chapter 31: Wings That Transcend Ranks, Ye Ling's Strategy!

"Third Spiritual Skill, Angel Wings."

Ye Ling's voice had just fallen.

The third Six-Winged Angel Soul Ring flickered continuously with strange radiance, and streaks of brilliant light rose slowly at this moment, settling behind Ye Ling.

Immediately, Spiritual Power flickered.

The light within gradually took on a solid form, and a pair of lifelike, beautiful wings appeared behind Ye Ling.

The wings were as white and pure as clouds, with special golden patterns imprinted upon them.

Coincidentally, they were nearly identical to Ye Ling's own Six-Winged Angel wings.

"Let me see what it feels like to soar in the sky," Ye Ling said with a faint smile, slowly spreading the wings behind him and rising into the air with the help of the airflow, hovering three meters above the ground.

This sudden change completely blinded everyone present.

"Flying? He flew up? Are you kidding me?"

"No way? This is the Youth Knight Competition, not the Temple Competition. How did this Third-rank Knight manage to fly?"

"Wings? The Spirit Wings that only a Sixth-Rank Knight possesses—did he master them in advance? It seems they appeared from the halo on his body just now?"

Ye Ling was a dark horse; the impact of his journey from a nobody to his current status combined was not even as terrifying as this single event.

After all, dark horses appeared every year.

But the current him could completely be said to have broken the common sense of ordinary knights—oh no, the common sense of all six major professions!

With a cultivation of only the Third Rank, he had already mastered Spirit Wings.

On the side.

Yang Wenzhao, who had finished the Group B finals, rushed over quickly.

He intended to see the final result of Ye Ling's match.

But after coming over and seeing this scene, even someone as powerful as him could not help but be stunned.

"Can he fly at only the Third Rank?"

"What kind of absurd thing is this? If I remember correctly, Grandfather has never told me about such a thing; in other words, is this the first time in history?"

Yang Wenzhao was extremely surprised.

He turned his head to look at the few people beside him, found a familiar face, and asked, "Ying Er, do you know what's going on with Ye Ling?"

"This Princess is seeing it for the first time too, how could I possibly know?" The shock on Chen Ying'er's face betrayed her; she truly knew nothing.

This was indeed somewhat bizarre.

Immediately, she also turned her head to look at the Soul Temple Hall Master, Chen Hongyu, who was also showing a look of surprise, and asked, "Grandfather, have you ever seen such a thing before?"

Grandfather was knowledgeable and experienced, so he should understand, right?

Hearing his granddaughter's words, Chen Hongyu shook his head: "No, I have never seen this before."

Hearing this, Chen Ying'er's beautiful eyes could not help but fill with starlight, and she looked at Ye Ling happily.

Being able to do something that even one of the true high-level members of the Holy Alliance, Chen Hongyu, had never seen, Ye Ling could be considered to have broken a record.

Meanwhile, Chen Hongyu was looking at the Ye Ling in front of him with great interest. Although that Six-Winged Angel had quickly driven him away, as a Ninth-Rank Powerhouse, he had still seen the appearance of that Six-Winged Angel.

That pair of wings on Ye Ling was nearly identical to that Six-Winged Angel! This made Chen Hongyu interested.

"This Six-Winged Angel is definitely related to Ye Ling's own constitution."

"Perhaps, it really is the same situation as Ying Er! That Godly Constitution!"

Chen Hongyu was truly interested.

He glanced at Ye Ling with satisfaction, then looked up at the podium above: "After this competition ends, I must force the answer out of that old guy Long Tianyin."

Above.

Han Zhige was somewhat surprised.

"Not yet at the Sixth Rank, yet he can use Spirit Wings?"

"What kind of concept is this?" Han Zhige looked at Long Xingyu in confusion.

Long Xingyu definitely knew! "This is Ye Ling's special skill, slowly cultivated over these past three months," Long Xingyu explained.

He was not clear that Ye Ling's cultivation of that halo involved extracting skills from Magic Beasts; he only knew that after Ye Ling defeated a Third-rank bird-type Magic Beast in actual combat, this situation occurred.

As for the deeper details, Long Xingyu did not understand.

The answer could only be said to be cultivated. Long Tianyin nodded.

Yang Haohan did not ask anything.

Although Han Zhige had ten thousand curiosities in his heart, he quickly shut his mouth and turned to watch the scene below intently.

At this moment, the battle situation continued to become unpredictable.

However, he still firmly believed that his son could win.

Below.

At this moment, Han Yu looked at Ye Ling's position in surprise, his eyes full of astonishment, even remaining stunned on the spot.

After all, it was indeed inconceivable.

This guy in front of him actually just flew up like that? But although he was extremely arrogant, his own qualities as a knight still existed. He recovered his senses at the first moment, set up a fighting stance, and a flash of intense fighting spirit crossed his eyes, saying: "Not yet at the Sixth Rank, yet mastering Spirit Wings—this is indeed an inconceivable thing."

"But you don't think that just by being able to fly, you can suppress me and my Evil Eye?"

"My Evil Eye is at the Fourth-Rank Late Stage, equivalent to a Magic Beast above the Third Order Seventh Level. Although Magic Beasts cannot compare to humans of the same level, if you add me, you have no advantage."

Han Yu shouted loudly, his voice just falling.

His body moved instantly.

"Sun Slash!" The Fourth-Rank Knight Skill Sun Slash condensed on him at this moment, turning into a majestic radiance that surged up instantly. Even though Ye Ling had flown up, in Han Yu's view, a quick victory was still feasible.

At the same time, his Magic Beast partner, the Evil Eye, also opened its tentacles at this moment. Powerful Mental Power scattered continuously, and that profound mental magic combined with dark magic was also twisting continuously at this moment, exploding toward Ye Ling.

Physical attacks and magic attacks struck Ye Ling from different directions simultaneously.

"Oh?"

"A final struggle, is it?"

"If this were a normal situation, I absolutely would not be able to withstand a combined attack from a Third Rank Sixth Level and a Third Rank Seventh Level."

"However, if I coordinate it with the Angel Wings, that might not be the case; after all, these wings are different from Spirit Wings, they aren't just for flying!"

The voice had just fallen.

Ye Ling's Angel Wings gradually closed, transforming into a sphere with cracks, shielding Ye Ling and blocking the attacks from Han Yu and Evil Eye.

And just as the attack landed and Han Yu was rejoicing, he saw Ye Ling rush out from the aforementioned cracks, the Angel Wings dissipating completely in mid-air.

They transformed into light that condensed upon Ye Ling's body.

His first ring also flashed in an instant.

"First Spiritual Skill, Angel Assault!"

Ye Ling's fist rushed straight toward Han Yu's position, a golden light shield gathering momentum as it charged, and in an instant, this punch slammed directly into Han Yu's body.

In a split second, Han Yu only felt immense pressure explode upon his body.

He wanted to resist, but discovered that under the impact of that circular shield, the little remaining Spiritual Power within his body was also worn away completely.

There was no chance to resist.

Only then did Han Yu truly put away his pride.

And he understood.

This guy Ye Ling is indeed a dark horse! But not a temporary dark horse, rather a dark horse that sees everything through to the end.

His own status and his own strength, in front of him, were nothing more than mediocre.

Although he did not kill me in one hit, looking at it now, it seems it is about the same. (End of chapter)
