Chapter 91: Mission: Eternal Tower, Defeat Wang Yuanyuan

"Knight Ye Ling, you have completed your mission, and you now possess the qualifications to lead a team to complete missions on your own!"

"Are you willing to accept?"

Long Tianyin spoke.

Hearing this, Ye Ling pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "I am willing to accept!"

Long Tianyin nodded: "Good!"

Having said that, he stretched out his hand; it seemed he had been prepared for a long time, and a basketful of missions appeared on the light screen that surged out before him.

It was quite dazzling.

But Ye Ling saw one of the missions at a glance. No, it shouldn't be that Ye Ling saw it, but rather that his system, which had been silent for a year, had reacted:

【The host can now use 1 sign-in opportunity (the sign-in quota comes from breaking through to the Fourth Rank)】

【Detected one of the sign-in missions: obtain the recognition of Electrolux and master the Eternal Melody】

Hmm, the appearance of this mission caused the system to react, so it gave a reminder.

And this mission was very straightforward. Since it was related to his system, Ye Ling chose to accept it: "Depart from Yulong Pass, go six hundred miles deep into the Demon Race territory, survey the environment there, and kill a Fifth Rank Great Demon on the spot."

"Oh, so confident?" This mission was on the higher end of difficulty among all the missions; at first, Long Tianyin didn't even think Ye Ling would accept a mission of this level.

After all, Ye Ling was only a Fourth Rank, and this mission was actually already intended for peak Fourth Rank or weaker Demon Hunt Squads.

"For this mission, I have some confidence." Ye Ling smiled slightly.

Six hundred miles; looking at the location Long Tianyin specified, it was not far from the Beixiao Cave where Electrolux was located, only about ten miles away.

It wasn't too far, and looking at the current situation of Beixiao Cave, the Eternal Tower within it had not yet spread the mournful howling to guide other Demon Race members, so safety was guaranteed to a certain extent.

Ye Ling still had a certain degree of certainty.

"If others said that, I really might not believe it, but you kid, I can actually believe it." Long Tianyin laughed, then said: "However, for this mission, you won't be able to go alone."

"Next, Li Xin and Lingxi will follow you there."

Hearing this, Ye Ling frowned slightly and said: "No, I feel that Sister Xin'er is not quite up to it, and for Lingxi, it is even more dangerous."

"Rest assured, over this past year, Li Xin has also been taken as a disciple by your teacher. Her current Spiritual Power is six hundred points, and she is also a Fourth Rank. Although Lingxi has just awakened, this period of time is enough for her to make up for it."

"Moreover, there is another person whose strength is also extremely strong, not inferior to you a year ago. She is a powerful female shield warrior, possesses a powerful bloodline, and is a descendant of a former Warrior Temple Hall Master."

Long Tianyin explained.

And Long Xingyu on the side also added: "Rest assured, when they leave, I will leave corresponding safety measures on both of them, sufficient to deal with any crisis."

"I would not let my daughter and my disciple die in vain."

Hearing this, Ye Ling's expression finally eased a bit, and he said: "Then I will trouble you, Grandmaster. Take me to meet that future teammate of mine."

"Lingxi has finished her cultivation, let's go see her first." Long Xingyu said.

"Good." Ye Ling nodded.

The three of them walked over. At this time, Bai Yue and Li Xin had already completely resolved Long Lingxi's recent situation. Now, Long Lingxi's little face was flushed red, making one want to pinch it.

"Congratulations, Lingxi. You are now the Light Saintess and a God-Favored One of the Guangming Nüshen." Ye Ling walked up to Long Lingxi and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Brother Ye Ling." Long Lingxi nodded.

"This is your own power." Ye Ling smiled.

"That is not what I am thanking you for." Long Lingxi shook her head: "Just now, the Divine Seal Throne of Eternity and Creation erupted with a ray of light, stimulating my physique and carrying out my Sacred Awakening."

"Although it did not increase my potential, I had a realization: the change in the throne was definitely not because of me, but because of you..."

Although Long Lingxi was young, she understood things very clearly.

Even if Ye Ling's action was unintentional, it had indeed brought her tangible help.

Hearing this, Ye Ling laughed, rubbed the head of Long Lingxi, who only reached his chest, and said: "There is no need to thank me; after all, I am your older brother."

"After we finish dealing with things in a while, I will take you to cultivate once, so you can understand the mysteries of the God-Favored Physique sooner."

Hearing this, Long Lingxi nodded earnestly, and her crisp voice rang out: "Good!"

Ye Ling smiled, turned his head to look at Long Tianyin, and Long Tianyin nodded, taking them to find that teammate together, while Long Xingyu sent his wife back himself.

At a place in the Yulong Pass grand drill ground.

Ye Ling and the others had already arrived here.

One could see a giant shield at least two meters high in front, flashing with a silvery-white radiance, with seven hollows in it, just not yet filled.

And in front of it was a young girl whose figure was no worse than Li Xin's. Her appearance was gentle and lovely, and the ponytail tied up on her head looked very capable.

It was just her attire—a sturdy warrior's outfit, wearing gauntlets on her hands. After seeing Ye Ling and the others come over, that gentle face actually had a hint of fighting spirit! She took a step forward: "Warrior Temple's Wang Yuanyuan, greets the Hall Master."

Long Tianyin waved his hand: "Yuanyuan, let me introduce you. This is Ye Ling, the captain of your next squad."

"Oh?" Wang Yuanyuan looked at Ye Ling's position, a flash of brilliance appearing in her eyes: "Not bad, although I can't tell the specifics."

"But I can tell that he is indeed a powerhouse of the same age as me. You are that hero of Exorcist Pass, Ye Ling? My captain from now on?"

Ye Ling nodded: "I dare not claim the title of hero, but I am indeed Ye Ling."

Wang Yuanyuan clenched her fists: "Let's spar."

"Are you sure?" Ye Ling asked a second time, while there was also constant communication in his mind.

"Sure." Wang Yuanyuan looked at Ye Ling earnestly, unable to help but feel a hint of admiration for his looks, but after a long while, she continued to clench her fists: "You are quite handsome, but if you want to be my captain and control me, just being handsome is not enough."

"I heard from the Hall Master that you are Fourth Rank, and I am also Fourth Rank. Although I should be a bit older than you, I don't care about that. I value the strength that can be displayed right now!"

"So, let's spar. If you win, I will submit to you. If you lose, you will still be the captain, but I won't listen to you unconditionally; we will have to discuss things."

Hearing this, Ye Ling laughed: "Let's try. It just so happens that after this period of closed-door cultivation, I have never tested my own strength."

Having said that, he took a step forward.

Li Xin intended to stop him, but was blocked by Long Lingxi.

Li Xin had no choice but to let go.

After everyone stepped back, only Ye Ling and Wang Yuanyuan remained on the arena.

On the side, Long Tianyin flew in mid-air and spoke: "Attack with all your might; I will intercept at the critical moment." Wang Yuanyuan did not hesitate much and instantly charged toward Ye Ling's position. The gauntlets in her hands flashed with intense light, and that sharp edge of aura continued to climb at this moment.

A punch of a thousand jun.

The target was precisely the Ye Ling before her.

"Not bad, this punch is very strong," Ye Ling commented, spiritual light emerging on his body as he began to dodge continuously. His footwork was exquisite; even though Wang Yuanyuan fought with all her might and even utilized many powerful fist-type skills, she could not affect Ye Ling much.

"Don't just keep dodging, make a move!" Wang Yuanyuan urged anxiously, striking out with another punch. This punch carried absolute ferocity and was very fast. Ye Ling's movement technique did not dodge it completely; instead, he was struck squarely by this punch and retreated several steps before stumbling to a halt.

"Great, I finally hit him!" Wang Yuanyuan laughed inwardly, celebrating that she had finally hit Ye Ling.

At the same time, she also marveled inwardly; she had been tempering her External Spiritual Power, and compared to existences of the same level, his External Spiritual Power was definitely much higher.

Her Internal Spiritual Power was currently one thousand points, but her External Spiritual Power was over three hundred and fifty points!

Yet in her view, Ye Ling's External Spiritual Power was actually not inferior to hers in the slightest. Could it be that he also cultivated External Spiritual Power? Impossible, right?! Just as she looked over in surprise, Ye Ling had already stabilized his body, faced Wang Yuanyuan, and said faintly: "Good."

Having said that, he instantly charged toward Wang Yuanyuan.

He threw a punch, the fist imbued with pure Sacred Spiritual Power.

"Such fast speed!" Wang Yuanyuan marveled inwardly and extended her arms to block, but it was useless. Under that punch, Wang Yuanyuan had no possibility of blocking.

Under duress, she retreated several steps. She had wanted to summon her Giant Spirit God Shield to help, but Ye Ling's speed was very fast, and his combat was fierce, giving Wang Yuanyuan no opportunity at all.

Punch after punch, the moves were infinitely fierce.

Wang Yuanyuan only felt as if she had fallen into an ocean of light, with no possibility of obstruction. The violent beauty under every punch completely conquered her, and waves of pain came from her body; even her Spiritual Power was being dissolved.

The strange pain made Wang Yuanyuan's whole body boil with hot blood.

But this state did not last long. As Ye Ling threw his next punch, an old man walked out, stood between Wang Yuanyuan and Ye Ling, and reached out to block.

A strange ripple spread out in all directions.

"Alright, this match ends here."

"Ye Ling, you win!"

Seeing that things were not right, Long Tianyin immediately took action to block.

This allowed Wang Yuanyuan to avoid suffering further attacks, and she stepped out of the pain and hot blood of the battle for the second time, stabilizing her body.

She closed her eyes to carefully contemplate, and after opening them, she revealed an expression of sudden realization.

She bowed to Ye Ling and said: "Thank you for the guidance."

"You're welcome," Ye Ling smiled slightly.

Logically speaking, he should have been fighting with a sword, but the Xiong Ba Tian Xia Spirit Stove in his mind, which was adept at combat, said it saw a part of Wang Yuanyuan's situation and that he could provide some guidance.

They were teammates who would fight side-by-side in the future.

A simple victory was far weaker than a gift.

The first few punches were to perceive the problems, and every punch thereafter was Ye Ling's guidance to Wang Yuanyuan according to the words of the Xiong Ba Tian Xia Spirit Stove. "You are very strong! I am convinced, and from now on I am willing to unconditionally follow your orders." Wang Yuanyuan said earnestly, this girl being very forthright: "I hope there will be a chance to spar with you again in the future."

"We are teammates," Ye Ling replied.

Hearing this, Wang Yuanyuan laughed happily: "Thank you!"

Having said that, she turned to look at Long Tianyin: "Tianyin Hall Master, I have gained a lot from this battle, please allow me to go back and enter seclusion first."

"Go back," Long Tianyin nodded.

After watching Wang Yuanyuan leave with her Giant Spirit God Shield, he also turned directly to look at Ye Ling's position and asked: "Ye Ling, what is your cultivation level now?"

"As far as I know, Wang Yuanyuan has not only broken through one thousand in Internal Spiritual Power, but her External Spiritual Power is also at the level of three hundred and fifty or more."

Ye Ling explained: "Previously, Teacher helped me improve a bit, and my External Spiritual Power is also over three hundred and fifty, while my Internal Spiritual Power is one hundred higher than Wang Yuanyuan's, at about one thousand one hundred—a Fourth Order Fifth Level Great Knight, which has doubled compared to a year ago."

This breakthrough speed was truly very fast.

Actually, it could have been even faster, but Ye Ling was improving the quality of his Spiritual Power, walking further and further on the path of laying his own foundation. Long Tianyin: "..."

"You are not even fifteen this year... This strength is enough for you to participate in a Demon Hunt Squad."

Long Tianyin had the same view as Long Xingyu before; this disciple was good in every way, but he was easily frustrated himself. Even a simple improvement in Spiritual Power was enough to make both himself and Long Xingyu feel numb.

It was too arduous.

"That's fine, you all should cultivate well during this time and get used to each other first."

"We will set off in about three days."

Having said that, Long Tianyin left. He left very decisively, not lingering on anything in this place; he was afraid that if he kept watching here, he would compare himself at the same age a hundred years ago with the current Ye Ling.

But the final result... sigh... better not to say it. "You're strong, little brother. In one year, the level you've broken through is not small."

"With this, you actually have this cultivation level. This time, big sister has really been surpassed by you, surpassed by a long way."

"Sigh, I originally thought about becoming a disciple of Teacher Xingyu to see if there was any hope of pinning you down again, but you are really getting stronger and stronger..."

After Long Tianyin left, Li Xin, who was on the side, grabbed Ye Ling beside her and giggled, her eyes full of pride; after all, this was the youth she had watched improve all along.

That poor child of the past, who had no talent or future and could only silently search for a way, had indeed grown into a future pillar and a high-spirited youth today.

Li Xin was very happy and also very moved. It had nothing to do with benefits, but seeing Ye Ling like this, she only felt that everything was worth it.

But... this thought only existed for the previous second.

Because the next second, it collapsed. Ye Ling heard these words, looked at Li Xin who was hugging him with glowing eyes, and said: "Then, Sister Xin'er, can you call me Senior Brother?"

Li Xin: "..."

"You are dreaming!!!" Li Xin scolded angrily. Hearing this, Ye Ling was helpless and said: "Junior Sister, you look very stubborn; you won't even acknowledge your Senior Brother!"

"Sigh, I didn't expect that a disciple of a Divine Seal Knight would fall to this point. I'm going back to tell on you to Uncle Aoxiao!"

Li Xin: "!!!"

Subsequently, she said softly: "Sen... Senior Brother."

"Sigh, Senior Brother is here!"

"!!!"
