Chapter 4: The Six-Winged Angel's Fusion Improvement, Demon Race Invades Yulong Pass!

Hearing these words from Han Zhige, Long Xingyu was taken aback, then shook his head and said, "There is no rush to take on an apprentice for now."

"After all, I am only speculating. Let us wait first; stay by his side and observe to see what kind of genius he truly is."

"We must also see how his temperament is. You know my training methods; training by my side may offer a higher ceiling and greater improvement, but for those who cannot endure it, it will be even more painful."

Hearing this, Han Zhige nodded; he naturally understood Long Xingyu's intentions.

Regardless of the final result, he was certain that he had struck gold this time.

"I hope this child can truly satisfy Brother Xingyu."

"To be taught by a Divine Seal Knight, to endure all of his inheritance, and to be able to utilize his talent to the extreme—that is enough."

Han Zhige thought to himself.

At this moment, the level of attention he paid to Ye Ling began to rise.

It was now second only to his own beloved son, Han Yu.

Soon, he began to head over to prepare to pull up Ye Ling's file to figure out exactly what kind of background this child had.

Outside.

Chen Ying'er was still waiting for Ye Ling.

Soon, she saw Ye Ling walk out.

"Ye Ling, how was it? Did you succeed?" Chen Ying'er asked nervously.

Hearing this, Ye Ling slightly raised his hand, and an Awakening Stone appeared in his palm.

"A complete success," Ye Ling smiled.

"That's great!" Chen Ying'er patted her small chest and jumped with excitement.

She had said it—Ye Ling could succeed! Look, he succeeded indeed! Next, she just needed to use the resources she had hidden away to help Ye Ling.

Use resources to groom Ye Ling! Use resources to feed Ye Ling! As long as his foundation didn't have issues, then in half a year, it wasn't impossible for him to enter the top ten! If he does well, I do well!

Watching this state of Chen Ying'er, a warm current could not help but well up in Ye Ling's heart.

He was very clear about Chen Ying'er's identity; logically speaking, it would be very difficult for someone like him to come into contact with such a status.

Although he didn't know what this little girl's purpose was, she had now become his only warmth within Yulong Pass.

It was truly rare.

"Many thanks, Ying Er. Having you here is truly nice," Ye Ling said softly.

Once these words were out, Chen Ying'er was completely stunned, her large eyes blinking as she looked at Ye Ling's position; her small head seemed unable to handle what Ye Ling had said.

Him? What does this mean? Is he expressing gratitude to me? Or? Is he confessing?

Or does he have some other thoughts? Did he find out my identity? Or was it just a spontaneous feeling?

Chen Ying'er's entire CPU had burned out.

Her small head truly could not handle this kind of situation.

Meanwhile, Ye Ling looked toward his system interface.

【Six-Winged Angel Fusion Degree: 35%】

This improvement wasn't high, but Ye Ling was very clear that to improve, he needed to use the power of the Six-Winged Angel to fight and improve.

"Next, I must find a way to speed up the compatibility."

"Go on missions, fight the Demon Race; once the fusion degree reaches its maximum value, I can perform the Sacred Awakening."

"At that time, mastering the power of the true Child of Light, I will be enough to show my edge in Yulong Pass. By then, taking a master to obtain a better inheritance won't be impossible."

"Even if I can't apprentice under those two Divine Seal Knights, that instructor Han Zhige from just now should be that guy Han Yu's father, an Eighth Rank Gold Knight who is destined to reach the Ninth Rank in the future. Although he dies halfway, it might not be impossible to find an opportunity to save him."

Ye Ling thought decisively.

The path for the future was quite clear.

Next, find an opportunity to go outside and test himself.

As a God Level Martial Soul.

Even if it hasn't awakened yet, the power that can be released now—that so-called ultimate light—is absolutely capable of bringing extreme suppression to these members of the Demon Race!

Then! That is enough.

As long as he can make his Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul truly awaken, then everything will be easy! He looked up, only to find that Chen Ying'er was currently just blankly stunned in place.

Ye Ling was puzzled; he waved his hand and said, "Ying Er, what is wrong with you?"

"I'm fine." Chen Ying'er looked at Ye Ling's position, and after a long while, she recalled Ye Ling's words just now, as well as her own twisted train of thought.

Her small face turned red.

Ye Ling: "???"

Why are you blushing for no reason?

Ye Ling intended to ask something.

But then, a horn sounded.

The originally peaceful Yulong Pass suddenly saw a massive change in atmosphere.

In an instant, the surroundings were filled with the sounds of clashing metal and galloping horses. Countless Knights looked toward the outside of Yulong Pass with hatred in their eyes, each picking up their equipment.

And following the charge of the horn, they marched firmly toward the outside.

The previously peaceful Yulong Pass gradually took on a look of grim slaughter at this moment.

This sudden situation gave Chen Ying'er a fright.

She looked toward the outside in confusion and said, "What happened?"

"Yulong Assembly Order."

"The Demon Race is invading Yulong Pass!"

Ye Ling pondered, then turned and shouted:

"Ying Er, I am going over to finish the battle first. As a Quasi-Knight, it is my duty to participate in every battle completely.

You are not a Knight; for safety's sake, you had better go back first." Ye Ling immediately picked up his armor and sword.

"Don't look down on this young lady. At the very least, I am a Third Rank Summoner, stronger than you!" Chen Ying'er stomped her little feet and activated the equipment on her body.

She overtook Ye Ling.

Watching this scene, Ye Ling smiled slightly and followed her out.

On the city walls of Yulong Pass, countless Knights had already gathered here, organized into small squads by Knights of Third Rank or higher, acting under the orders of their captains.

There were also squads like Ye Ling and Chen Ying'er who had split up to fight these Demon Race members alone.

"Probing invasion?"

"Most are First or Second Tier Demon Race, Third Rank are still in the minority,"

Ye Ling was full of enthusiasm.

"Don't be in such a rush, let me do it! Let me show you my power! So you won't dare to look down on me in the future." Chen Ying'er blocked Ye Ling, pinching a summoning magic seal in her hand, preparing to manipulate summoning magic.

She had already ignored what her grandfather had told her earlier about keeping a low profile.

Instead, she wanted to show off in front of Ye Ling.

To stop him from always thinking she was weak! "Oh spirit of all things above eternity, listen to my summons!" Chen Ying'er shouted loudly. The next moment, a magic circle rose, and a special gate was released from her body just like that.

It hovered behind her.

"Oh? Gate of Life?"

"I forgot, Ying Er is a Soul Saintess; she cannot learn other magic before the Seventh Rank." Ye Ling thought to himself.

However, he was quite looking forward to it.

To see what Chen Ying'er could summon.

At the same time, everyone in the vicinity looked toward this position.

"Gate of Life? Is there a Summoner above the Seventh Rank participating in this city defense?" Someone wondered.

The city defense battle of Yulong Pass was where merit was accompanied by danger, and it was also the best way to accumulate merit and improve oneself.

In this kind of low-level Demon Race siege, generally speaking, existences above the Seventh Rank would not come; after all, it was easy to escalate things, and furthermore, it made it difficult for the low-level soldiers to earn merit.

Therefore, the arrival of such a powerhouse was indeed unexpected.

But the next moment, everything slapped them in the face.

The Gate of Life descended, but what fell out was a little lamb. Under the dumbfounded gazes of Chen Ying'er and Ye Ling, it struggled to climb to its feet and obediently rubbed against Chen Ying'er.

"It's over, my luck is bad this time." Chen Ying'er was on the verge of tears.

The Gate of Life was a skill that could only be used at the Seventh Rank. Although Chen Ying'er could master it early due to her constitution, it relied more on her luck index.

"Hahaha." Ye Ling really wanted to reach out and rub Chen Ying'er's head, but his hand stopped in mid-air without doing so.

He just took a step forward, stood in front of Chen Ying'er, and aimed at the Demon Race members charging over.

"Sorry Ye Ling, I originally wanted to help you."

"But my Gate of Life seems to have attracted more Demon Race members; it didn't help you, and instead harmed you."

Chen Ying'er's face flushed red, her voice soft and sweet.

She had caused trouble this time.

"It's fine, Ying Er." Ye Ling turned his head to look at Chen Ying'er: "There might be opportunities for you to protect me in the future."

Having said that, the power of light in his hand surged, attached to his sword, and he fiercely slashed toward a First Tier Demon Race member charging at him.

【Six-Winged Angel Fusion Degree 36%】

As expected!

Subsequently, Ye Ling continued:

"However, that is a matter for later."

"For now, just let me protect you!"
