Chapter 33: Leading the Team to Yulong Pass! The Exclusive Legion for Geniuses!

Hearing this, the three people present.

Oh no, four! Whether it was the three Divine Seal Knights or Han Zhige, at this moment they all stood up quickly, looking at the Mithril Knight before them with grave expressions.

They had noticed it earlier; the bloodstains on his body and his extremely unstable state clearly indicated he had been through a great battle, but they could not make a decision based on his state alone.

But hearing this now, it was naturally extraordinary.

"Calm down, calm down, tell us everything." Yang Haohan's voice seemed to possess magic; as the sound emerged, the Mithril Knight opposite him quickly calmed down as well.

He explained: "Autumn has arrived, and the Demon Race has begun their Autumn Offensive."

"And the offensive that unfolded the fastest is precisely Exorcist Pass. I don't know why, but the scale this time is different from the past; it is even more magnificent."

"Although there are no Demon Gods from the top thirty-six, there are a full five from the bottom thirty-six, and the other Ninth-Rank Demon Race members are countless!"

"Although there are many Ninth-Rank powerhouses within Exorcist Pass, the Assassins are at a great disadvantage in a head-on battle and can only barely hold back the advance of the Demon army. Although the city walls have not been breached yet, it is estimated they won't hold for long. Therefore, Hall Master Sheng Yue sent me to seek reinforcements. I beg the Alliance Leader and the two Hall Masters to provide support quickly!"

After listening, the four were each stirred with emotion, and a rich radiance appeared on their bodies.

It was clear that this matter had indeed exceeded their expectations.

"No wonder." Long Tianyin realized suddenly: "No wonder their offensive against Yulong Pass this year was so small, mostly just minor skirmishes."

"So it turns out they were specifically targeting the more weakly defended Exorcist Pass."

Long Tianyin sneered, turned to look at Yang Haohan, and asked: "Alliance Leader, what do you think?"

Well, although the two had a close personal friendship, they had to use official titles while working! "It is already my limit to have been out for a few months this time; I must return to hold the fort."

"Hall Master Long, you are skilled in defense and must hold Yulong Pass; there must be a Divine Seal Knight guarding the hall!"

"Then..." After Yang Haohan finished thinking, he looked toward Long Xingyu's position: "Xingyu, I must guard the Holy City, and Hall Master Long must guard Yulong Pass, lest the Demon Race launch a sneak attack."

"Then the vanguard force to support Exorcist Pass this time shall be left to you!"

Hearing this, Long Xingyu bowed and said: "I will lead the team."

"Although I am not skilled in defending cities, my Divine Seal Throne of Apocalypse and Slaughter is adept at frontal assaults, enough to block the frontal attacks of these Demon Gods. When the time comes, I will let Hall Master Sheng Yue and the others fight from the shadows."

This decision was quickly discussed and finalized.

In the end, Long Xingyu, the Divine Seal Knight of Judgment and Apocalypse and wielder of the Divine Seal Throne of Apocalypse and Slaughter, would lead the main force as the vanguard to support Exorcist Pass.

And Yang Haohan did not intend to stay here any longer.

As the Alliance Leader, he could not just stay at one border pass to protect it; he had to return to the Holy City to handle matters of the Six Great Passes and even the entire Saint Alliance, and be ready to make decisions on any matter at any time and support any pass! After receiving the definite news, that Mithril Knight could no longer hold on; he did not fall in battle, but he fainted and was taken away by Han Zhige for treatment.

And after watching him leave.

Long Xingyu pondered for a while.

Finally, he made a decision.

He called out to the two elders and said: "This Autumn Offensive by the Demon Race, although an unexpected attack, is indeed an opportunity for training!"

"An opportunity for training?" Hearing these words from Long Xingyu, both Yang Haohan and Long Tianyin were somewhat surprised and turned to look at Long Xingyu.

"Yes, a genius is ultimately just a genius. If one wants to become an Alliance powerhouse capable of standing alone, one needs battles of blood and fire to mature. This point is thoroughly understood by every Seventh-Rank Knight in the Alliance!"

Hearing this, the two Hall Masters also understood what Long Xingyu was talking about.

They said: "Tell us your thoughts."

Long Xingyu replied:

"After this competition ends, combine all the top thirty from the competition into a single legion, with the authority equal to one battalion of the Dragon Resisting Legion." "The champion will be the main commander, and the runner-up and third place will be deputy commanders, and they will accompany the force to support Exorcist Pass!"

Long Xingyu's words were extremely decisive.

He was paving the way for Ye Ling; there was a military merit system in Yulong Pass as well.

That is, the merit system, plus positions.

If he could maintain this position later, it would mean he also had status within Yulong Pass.

This would be of great benefit to him when he becomes the Temple Holy Knight Commander, Temple Vice Hall Master, Temple Hall Master, or even competes for the position of Saint Alliance Leader in the future.

Of course, it could not be considered just paving the way.

After all, Long Xingyu knew very well that even for a Child of Light, having talent alone and having trained a body of combat techniques was useless.

True powerhouses are never trained.

They are forged through battle, one sword strike and one skill at a time; that is the true powerhouse. Those who are only trained are always weak! Hearing Long Xingyu's words, Yang Haohan was stunned and said in a deep voice: "If this were at the very beginning of the Youth Knight Competition, I would not agree. After all, one with strong individual combat power is not necessarily a good leader of a team."

"But now it is the finals, and the upcoming champion will be either Ye Ling or Wen Zhao; both of them have the air of a leader!"

Yang Haohan's words were also very direct.

Afterward, his gaze lowered slightly, looking toward the venue, and he said:

"It seems that the leader of this generation of the Knight Temple will truly emerge in tomorrow's finals!"

Regarding the decision made by Long Xingyu and the others.

Ye Ling was unaware.

At this moment, he was just sitting cross-legged in his room.

But his state was not very good.

The Angel Wings on his back were unfolded again, but no one saw that there were shocking scars on the Angel Wings.

Those were the attacks from Han Yu and the Evil Eye just now.

"That kid Han Yu, although proud, is at least the son of Senior Han Zhige, and he is still very strong."

"Although no one saw it, he did indeed inflict not-insignificant injuries on me just now."

Ye Ling sighed.

But suddenly closing his eyes and opening them again, he saw that his eyes were full of rich radiance: "However, unlike other battles, this kid actually brought me quite a few good insights this time."

"Sure enough, only fighting with such powerhouses is the best medicine for improvement!"

"I am looking forward to it more and more, looking forward to the real battle with Yang Wenzhao tomorrow!"

This was what Ye Ling thought in his heart.

Then he closed his eyes once more, and the Spiritual Power within his body began to evolve following the circulation of the Six-Winged Angel; the next moment, light surged, and terrifying, ultimate Spiritual Power suddenly manifested in streaks upon his body, slowly taking shape to become the image of that Six-Winged Angel.

Although it possessed no consciousness, it was one with Ye Ling, and at this moment, it embraced Ye Ling, entering a state of healing and ultimate cultivation.

At the same time.

Outside the door.

Chen Hongyu, the old man extremely curious about Ye Ling's talent, arrived at Ye Ling's door with his granddaughter, the Soul Saintess Chen Ying'er. (End of chapter)
