Nalan Shu's Office.
At that moment, Li Xin was helping Nalan Shu organize documents when he suddenly noticed another file.
It contained a Challenge Letter.
Upon opening it, he found that it was a Challenge Letter from a nearby Warrior Branch Temple—the Kuangsha Warrior Branch Temple.
Nalan Shu quickly opened the Challenge Letter and read through it.
By the time he reached the end, Nalan Shu's face had turned somewhat green, and he looked rather helpless.
"What's wrong, Uncle Nalan?" Li Xin asked, confused by his expression.
It was not until she took the envelope from Nalan Shu's hand that she understood what was going on.
Its contents were full of verbal provocation, talking about warriors and knights, demanding that Nalan Shu bring people over for a battle, and laying out the requirements for the contestants.
"The age limit is from ten to twenty. Any rank is allowed. The battles will be held one at a time, until only contestants from one branch temple remain on the field."
Li Xin read the information aloud, fighting spirit flashing in her eyes.
"Uncle Nalan, since the Warrior Branch Temple has sent us a Challenge Letter, then we should accept it! Otherwise, people will look down on our Haoyue Branch Temple!"
Li Xin spoke earnestly, waving the treasured sword she had just brought from home.
Hearing this, Nalan Shu sighed. "If it were the Kuangsha Warrior Branch Temple from before, it would be easy enough. Our Haoyue Branch Temple might not lose to them—in fact, we could practically win with ease."
"After all, knights have far too great an advantage over warriors. But according to my intelligence, a genius with a special bloodline seems to have arrived at the Kuangsha Warrior Branch Temple. She possesses an extremely terrifying special ability. Based on the reports, even if she isn't a Fourth Rank warrior, she is at least at the starting level of Third Rank Level Ten!"
"What is her name?" Li Xin asked.
"Wang Yuanyuan. It is said that she has connections to the Warrior Holy Temple Main Hall, and her grandfather appears to be the Hall Master of the Warrior Holy Temple."
Nalan Shu spoke seriously, helplessness flashing in his eyes.
"I..." Li Xin gritted her teeth. She knew she would not be a match for that opponent, but then she seemed to think of something. "Then let Ye Ling go! His spiritual power may be relatively low, but you saw his combat experience back then. It's terrifying! And his talent is terrifying enough too!"
"He might not be unable to fight her!"
Li Xin spoke earnestly. Hearing that, Nalan Shu swallowed the words he had been about to say.
He had wanted to say that perhaps even Ye Ling would not be a match for her, but seeing Li Xin like this, he held back.
After all, this battle had to be fought. The Haoyue Branch Temple could lose, but they absolutely could not cower in fear.
That was not Knight Spirit.
Besides, at present, Ye Ling could be said to be the hope of their Haoyue Branch Temple.
Everything Ye Ling did in the future would be tied to the Haoyue Branch Temple.
And he would also join a Demon Hunting Group to fight.
It would not do to let him cultivate endlessly without any tempering.
He needed to fight more when the opportunity arose. That would be better for him.
This time, even if he lost, it could at least improve Ye Ling's combat experience and make him cultivate even more diligently.
That was reason enough to go.
Nalan Shu nodded.
Hearing that, Li Xin smiled, then left Nalan Shu's Office and headed toward Ye Ling's residence.
Ye Ling's Room.
"Whew, I've gained another layer of insight into Space Power, and I've also successfully learned that second soul skill."
Feeling the Qi of Space-Time filling his body, Ye Ling could not help but smile.
Clearly, his strength had increased tremendously.
Though his spiritual power had not increased by much.
Feeling the two powerful martial souls coiled deep within his soul, Ye Ling smiled inwardly, while a deep longing also surfaced in his heart.
It could be said that with Ye Ling's current strength, he had the power to fight any Third Rank peak expert, regardless of profession—and could even defeat them!
As for Fourth Rank opponents, even if he could not defeat them, it would be difficult for Ye Ling himself to lose. Such was Ye Ling's current strength!
And if he could sign in again and awaken another martial soul or obtain something else, that would be wonderful!
After all, setting Douluo 1 aside and looking only at the later installments, there were countless terrifying martial souls and bloodlines within them. In particular, the Golden Dragon King bloodline of Tang Wulin, the protagonist of Douluo 3, was especially terrifying. Once fully unsealed, its level would be no weaker than the God of Angels or the Space-Time Dragon, and might even go a step further, reaching the level of a God King!
If he could sign in for that bloodline, it would definitely be a good thing!
Ye Ling would not need to pay much attention to External Spiritual Power. Even if he simply left it alone, it would enhance his physical body on its own!
A good thing!
Wonderful!
With that thought, Ye Ling stood up, a serious look flashing through his eyes as he restrained his aura.
He walked to the door and opened it.
Hmm.
Just like before, Li Xin had once again stood there waiting for him, nearly scaring him to death.
"Sister Xin'er, what is it?" Ye Ling knew that for Li Xin to be like this, something urgent must have happened. She had seen him cultivating and did not want to disturb him, so she had waited here instead.
When she saw Ye Ling emerge, Li Xin smiled prettily, then explained why she had come, telling him the entire situation in full.
"Just when I needed it, it came. I wanted to sign in, and they actually gave me a place to do it. Fine, let's see if I can sign in for something suited to a warrior, something that can increase my strength." Ye Ling murmured. A warrior!
Warriors differed from the other five professions. In some ways, they could be said to cultivate both Internal and External Spiritual Power. In a sense, they were the meat shields.
Thus, External Spiritual Power also accounted for a major portion of their strength.
"What is that genius called?" Ye Ling asked. He intended to see whether the name rang any bells.
"Wang Yuanyuan," Li Xin answered truthfully.
Mm.
It was indeed familiar.
"So it's her." Ye Ling was also very familiar with Wang Yuanyuan. In the original novel, aside from Cai'er, she was the most insane fighter in the protagonist's group. In some respects, she was even crazier than Cai'er.
Because of matters of the heart, Cai'er would eventually still care about her own body.
But Wang Yuanyuan was different. No matter the circumstances, as long as she encountered demons, as long as she was fighting demons, she would become utterly crazed. She would even sacrifice her own life just to kill those demons!
She was known as the Bloody War Goddess!
Setting everything else aside, Ye Ling still liked Wang Yuanyuan as a character. It was not only because of her unwavering spirit, but also because of the things behind her.
Moreover, her talent was terrifying as well. Perhaps she was not as monstrous as Long Haochen, Sheng Cai'er, or Chen Ying'er, but she was likely no worse than Brother Youyao Lin Xin, who possessed seventy-four points of Innate Internal Spiritual Power. Perhaps she even had eighty points of Innate Internal Spiritual Power!
She also fit the criteria for signing in.
Thinking of this, Ye Ling no longer hesitated. He looked at Li Xin, nodded, and said, "Alright. When can we leave?"
Li Xin said, "Right away."
Haoyue City was not far from Kuangsha City. In about a day, they arrived there.
Nalan Shu then led ten knights, including Ye Ling and Li Xin, into the Haoyue Branch Temple.
After stepping into the Kuangsha Warrior Branch Temple, an electronic mechanical voice flashed through Ye Ling's mind.
The host has arrived in the special area, Haoyue Branch Temple. Sign-in is available.
"Sign in." Ye Ling nodded.
The host has successfully signed in and obtained the Golden Dragon King bloodline (First Nine Seals!).
