Chapter 6: Chen Ying'er: Because Ye Ling is kind!

At this moment, a terrifying pillar of light shot straight into the sky.

The pillar of light was several meters high; although not particularly tall, the aura emerging from within was incomparably pure.

Even Long Xingyu felt a sense of palpitation.

In the distance, those Demon Race members sensed all of this, and feeling the suppression brought by the pure Light Spiritual Power within, they could not help but be crazily wary.

"It looks like a Human genius indeed. Little ones, move out quickly and kill him! If he doesn't die, it will be an absolute disaster for our Demon Race; in the future, we might even die at his hands!"

Suddenly, several Demon Race members reacted and roared loudly.

There was even a single Fourth Rank Demon Race member who, at this moment, widened his eyes, abandoned the Third Rank Peak prey he had been coveting, and charged toward Ye Ling!

Sensing the pressure decrease, the Third-rank Knight was initially very happy.

But seeing that their target was Ye Ling, he immediately shouted in alarm:

"Don't hesitate, hurry and go, protect that young Knight!" the Third-rank Knight shouted loudly.

"Fool, a mere Third Rank wants to stop me?" the Fourth Rank Demon Race member said disdainfully.

With him there, this unknown Knight with terrifying talent would surely die.

There was no other possibility! After all, in this current situation, in this current place, no one could stop him! No one! But just at this moment, streaks of strange light appeared, and only the two words 【Judgment】 could be vaguely heard; the light exploded, and he died instantly without a shred of consciousness.

It wasn't just him; all the surrounding Demon Race members also suddenly dropped dead at this moment!

They vanished into thin air.

Everyone present was surprised.

Among them, Long Xingyu and Han Zhige were seen walking out. The moment these two walked out, light flashed, instantly shielding Ye Ling.

"Zhige, you handle the aftermath here; I will take these two and leave first." Long Xingyu looked at Han Zhige, then without hesitation, turned and reached out to take Ye Ling and Chen Ying'er, and the three of them departed.

"Knight Chief, what exactly is the situation with that young man just now?" On the side, a Knight walked over slowly.

He was still immersed in shock.

Was that terrifying light something a human could possess? And this so-called Knight Chief was naturally addressing Han Zhige.

The current Knight Chief, Han Qian, was his biological father, and he himself was the Deputy Commander of the Holy Knight Regiment, so calling him Knight Chief was perfectly fine.

"That young man is a star of tomorrow."

Han Zhige turned his head to look at the disappearing light and slowly absorbed it.

As an Eighth Rank Knight, he was naturally extremely powerful.

If one were to talk about who would win in a fight, or compare the depth of Spiritual Power, Han Zhige could say he could crush that mere Ye Ling with one finger! But compared to Ye Ling's affinity for light, it was like a firefly seeing the bright moon.

This could not help but make him look forward to it.

What level would this young man reach in the future? Somewhere.

Long Xingyu brought the unconscious Ye Ling and Chen Ying'er down slowly.

"Star Universe Hall Master!" Upon seeing Long Xingyu, Chen Ying'er also silently bowed.

This was a true elder.

"Ying Er, why were you with this young man?" Long Xingyu asked.

Although Ye Ling's talent was terrifying.

It was impossible for this eccentric little girl Chen Ying'er to follow him because of this; after all, Chen Ying'er's status and natural talent were both extraordinary.

"This young man? You mean Ye Ling?" Chen Ying'er paused slightly and nodded: "Because he is kind!"

Long Xingyu: "???"

Chen Ying'er told the story of how she had gone out to play when she first arrived, was harassed by someone, and in the end, Ye Ling helped her out.

Well, it was also equivalent to helping those guys out.

After all, if Chen Ying'er were truly angered, once it affected Chen Hongyu later, then even Long Xingyu and Long Tianyin could not stop it, because they would be in the wrong.

"Compassion and heroism, is it? Not bad, this child is indeed a natural-born Knight."

"If I must pass on my mantle, then he should be the most suitable one. Judging by the combat situation just now, he is indeed suited to become a Punishment Knight!"

Long Xingyu pondered, a hint of satisfaction appearing in his eyes. The next moment, Light Spiritual Power moved continuously, attaching itself to Ye Ling's body.

The whole person moved along with Long Xingyu.

"Star Universe Hall Master, where are you taking Ye Ling?" Chen Ying'er was a bit worried.

"I won't eat him," Long Xingyu said indifferently.

He explained slightly: "I intend to take him as my disciple, so I plan to take him away to heal his injuries and figure out his talent situation. However, I won't take you; you should go back yourself."

Chen Ying'er was stunned.

She hadn't expected this.

Ye Ling could actually make Long Xingyu take a fancy to him and want to take him as a disciple? Doesn't that mean? It's settled?

Our Ye Ling is truly too outstanding to be noticed by Long Xingyu! She was just about to say something when she saw Long Xingyu move his body, Light Spiritual Power appeared around her, and in an instant, the two vanished, leaving the place.

She made a Soul Saintess face.

Not letting people speak, right?

But she still honestly didn't cause trouble for Ye Ling.

She returned to where she was staying.

This was a side hall used to entertain distinguished guests; all of them from the Soul Temple who came to Yulong Pass lived here.

And the main hall of this side hall was exactly where Chen Ying'er's family was located.

Chen Ying'er also hopped and skipped toward her residence, a joyful smile flashing on her little face, as if she knew some good news.

On the side, her grandfather, Soul Temple Hall Master Chen Hongyu, was originally there handling some matters. Seeing his granddaughter's attitude, he looked over with interest and asked: "Ying Er, what's wrong?"

"Did you encounter something interesting? Why are you so happy?"

Chen Ying'er walked up to her grandfather and asked with a smile: "Grandpa, did you say before..."

"As long as I can find a Knight I am satisfied with myself, and he can step into the top ten in the new Knight Competition, you will agree, right?" Chen Ying'er said excitedly.

She was poised and ready, looking very much like she would pull Chen Hongyu's beard directly if he dared to go back on his word; it wasn't the first time she had done so, anyway.

"That is indeed the case." Chen Hongyu nodded: "You are talking about that little Knight named Ye Ling, right?"

"His disposition is passable, but his talent seems to be lacking; the top ten will be very difficult, won't it?"

Hearing Chen Hongyu's words, Chen Ying'er couldn't help but scold him coquettishly: "Grandpa, you are spying on me!"

"Silly girl, although Grandpa won't forbid you from making friends, you are the Soul Saintess after all, so you still need to be cautious; however, this youth named Ye Ling.

He is indeed acceptable. Grandpa checked him out, and whether it is his character or his personal conduct, he is quite good. Helping you back then was not a staged act."

"But, even if he undergoes the Sacred Awakening next, he is still just an ordinary Knight. Let alone the top ten, even just passing the threshold will likely be very difficult, right?"

Chen Hongyu knew of Ye Ling, but he did not think highly of him.

Yulong Pass was, after all, the main hall of the Knights, and the number of genius Knights within it was even greater than in the Human main city, the Holy City.

Ye Ling, if he were in a medium-sized city, might be the number one genius, and in some small main cities, he might even rank at the top, but in Yulong Pass, he was nothing special; wanting to rank near the top was truly very difficult.

Hearing this, Chen Ying'er wrinkled her little nose and retorted: "Grandpa, what nonsense are you spouting!"

"Ye Ling's strength is very strong. Just a moment ago, a very strong Knight even chose to take him as a disciple!"

"Don't look down on him; his teacher would have no problem thrashing you!"

After hearing this, Chen Hongyu couldn't help but feel a bit of heart distress; a daughter grown up cannot be kept!

She had only just taken a liking to him, and it was already like this?

Chen Hongyu snorted coldly: "In the entire Knight Temple, apart from the Starry Sky Knight and the senior Chen Zidian, there are probably only three Divine Seal Knights stronger than me."

"And those two guardians of the Divine Seals cannot possibly thrash me in terms of combat power, unless his new teacher is the wielder of the Divine Seal Throne of Apocalypse and Slaughter, the Divine Seal Knight of Judgment and Apocalypse, Long Xingyu!"

"But Long Xingyu doesn't take disciples at all and has no intention of passing on his mantle. Who could he possibly find that is Long Xingyu?"

Chen Hongyu feigned disdain, appearing as if he had seen through everything.

But he saw his precious granddaughter looking at him with great surprise, as if she were looking at some kind of wise man.

Chen Hongyu also had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Hiss, Grandpa, you guessed it really accurately!"

"What thing?"

"What did I guess accurately?"

"I mean Ye Ling's new teacher; you guessed it right!"

Hearing his granddaughter say this, Chen Hongyu felt completely numb.

"You mean? That Ye Ling's new teacher? Is?" Chen Hongyu was completely stunned; this, this, this?

Hearing this, Chen Ying'er giggled: "That's right, the powerful figure who took Ye Ling as a disciple is none other than the Knight Temple Hall Master, Long Xingyu!"
