Persuading Li Xin to Go to Haoyue Branch Temple and Serve as an Instructor for a While!

"One hundred and twenty spiritual power?"

"When I tested yesterday, I only had seventy spiritual power. Just mastering this Six-Winged Angel raised my External Spiritual Power by fifty points?"

Looking at the information on the testing stone, Ye Ling smiled faintly. The increase in strength had clearly left him rather excited.

The slow progress of the past two years had made this almost unbelievable to him. In a single night, merely fusing with his martial soul had raised his strength by countless levels, nearly surpassing the results of two years of hard work!

All he could say was that talented people really were damn impressive!

"One hundred and twenty?" Li Xin was stunned as she watched, a flicker of emotion passing through her eyes. She found it hard to believe.

"That already makes you a Crescent Knight. You could even be considered a Second-level Crescent Knight. Little brother, what happened?"

"I remember that yesterday, you were only a Seventh-level Knight Attendant. How did you leap all the way to this level overnight?"

Li Xin was shocked. She rushed up to Ye Ling, grabbed his shoulders, and looked at him in confusion, wanting to know what had happened.

Ye Ling naturally knew that this improvement was a little too shocking.

He had already prepared an excuse before coming here.

But seeing Li Xin's astonished pretty face, Ye Ling could not help teasing her. "Sister Xin'er, you don't know this, but I'm actually a hidden genius. Yesterday, I received the God of Light's blessing, and my strength suddenly rose to this level!"

In a sense, the Angel God could indeed be called the God of Light, so Ye Ling was not exactly lying.

But Li Xin clearly did not believe his answer. Rolling her eyes, she said, "Stop trying to be clever. Tell me the truth."

"Sigh, you don't believe me when I tell the truth, so I'll tell you a lie instead." Ye Ling shrugged. "I wasn't feeling well yesterday, so I couldn't fully display my strength. That's why I only had seventy spiritual power." That was how Ye Ling answered.

Hearing this, Li Xin nodded and accepted the lie, though she still asked curiously, "Then why didn't you tell us?"

"Feeling unwell is not an excuse for failure. On the battlefield, the demons would not refuse to fight me just because I wasn't feeling well." Ye Ling's tone was resolute.

That had always been his way of thinking.

And now, it happened to fit perfectly!

Hearing this, Li Xin understood his thoughts and did not question him further. Instead, she left the Arena and went to call Nalan Shu over.

Before long, Nalan Shu dragged his three- to four-hundred-pound bulk over, making the Arena tremble slightly.

"Ye Ling, you've become a Crescent Knight?" Nalan Shu immediately asked Ye Ling.

Although Ye Ling had previously been dissatisfied with his own talent, Nalan Shu's expectations for him were no less than Li Xin's.

He had been training him as one of Haoyue City's future geniuses!

Hearing that, Ye Ling did not say much. He silently picked up the iron sword and slashed at the testing stone again. Immediately, the stone lit up once more with dazzling golden light.

A corresponding number appeared on it as well.

121

Hmm, it had even increased by another point.

"Hahaha! Not just second-level, but a Third-level Crescent Knight! A twelve-year-old Third-level Crescent Knight! If that isn't genius, then what is?"

Nalan Shu burst into laughter.

Then, he took a token from his clothes. It was a Crescent Knight token from the Haoyue Branch Temple.

It was a sword-shaped token that gleamed with sharpness. The Haoyue Branch Temple's insignia was engraved on the sword, making it impossible to forge.

The words "Crescent Knight" were engraved beneath it.

Ye Ling's name was inscribed in the center, along with faint traces of his aura.

It was completely bound to him.

"By the way, Ye Ling, now that you've become a Crescent Knight, are you still planning to return to the Odin Sub-Temple?" After handing Ye Ling the Identity Token, Nalan Shu looked at him. He wanted to keep him here. Since he had already broken through, it would naturally be better for him to remain at the Haoyue Branch Temple.

Yet Ye Ling firmly stated that he wanted to return.

Nalan Shu could not say much, so he could only let him leave.

However, just then, Ye Ling suddenly turned around and looked at Li Xin with a mischievous grin. "Sister Xin'er, why don't you come to the Odin Sub-Temple with me and have some fun?"

Li Xin's eyes immediately lit up. She did not care whether it was the Odin Sub-Temple or some other sub-temple. What mattered was that she could go out with Ye Ling. Still, she said hesitantly, "But I still need to cultivate."

"At the Haoyue Branch Temple, you're a student. But once you get to the Odin Sub-Temple, with your status as a True Knight, becoming a teacher would be easy. You could also look for promising talents. Besides, it won't be for long—just one month."

As Ye Ling spoke, Li Xin's eyes grew even brighter. He had convinced her.

Nalan Shu was stunned when he heard that.

Although Ye Ling was also from the Haoyue Branch Temple, why did he suddenly feel as though someone was poaching their people?

Still, he was looking forward to it. Perhaps the Odin Sub-Temple had another genius like Ye Ling?

If such talents joined the Haoyue Branch Temple in the future, perhaps they would have a few more people able to join Demon Hunting Groups. As the Branch Hall Master, he would be living the good life!

Odin Town was not far from Haoyue City.

Li Xin and Ye Ling did not take long to return.

"The air here is much better than in Haoyue City!" Li Xin said as she looked around.

"Unlike Haoyue City, which is developing rapidly, Odin Town is much more rustic. Other than the Knight Sub-Temple, you can barely see any large buildings. Most of the area is covered in trees and forests." Ye Ling explained. With so many trees, the air was naturally better.

However, they did not discuss that any further and quickly headed toward the sub-temple.

Deep within the sub-temple, Coach Balza was reviewing something.

Suddenly, a voice came from nearby. "Coach Balza, I'm back!"

When he turned around, he saw Ye Ling.

"Ye Ling, it's you. Why did you suddenly come back?" Coach Balza asked in confusion. He had always been extremely satisfied with Ye Ling. Few people from the Odin Sub-Temple entered the Haoyue Branch Temple, and Ye Ling had performed the best among them.

Ye Ling explained everything, including the fact that he had reached the Crescent Knight level.

Instructor Balza was shocked. "You're planning to come back and become a teacher?"

"Only for one month."

"That's good, then. Being a teacher at the Odin Sub-Temple does not suit a young genius like you, someone with such a bright future." Balza let out a breath. He was not worried about Ye Ling taking his job—that was not a problem—but becoming a teacher would inevitably slow Ye Ling's cultivation progress, which would not be a good thing.

However, in the next moment, he caught something. "You've broken through to the Crescent Knight level?"

"Yes. One hundred and twenty External Spiritual Power," Ye Ling replied truthfully.

Coach Balza froze, excitement appearing on his face as surprise flashed through his eyes.

"A twelve-year-old Crescent Knight!"

"Hahahahaha! I never thought that one day, my Odin Sub-Temple would produce such a genius."

"Good! Good, good, good, good!"

Coach Balza laughed heartily. The five consecutive "goods" were enough to reveal his feelings.

He had already agreed to let Ye Ling return as an instructor.

However, he suddenly looked toward Li Xin, who was standing nearby and curiously looking around. "And this is?"

"My sister, Li Xin."

"Sister?" Balza was taken aback. At first, he did not understand. After all, Ye Ling had been raised by the teachers of the Odin Sub-Temple. Wouldn't he know whether Ye Ling had a sister?

But he quickly realized that she must be someone Ye Ling had acknowledged at the Haoyue Branch Temple.

So he did not say anything more.

Still, he felt that Li Xin looked rather familiar.

In the next moment, his expression changed as he remembered something. "Could she be the Haoyue Branch Temple's number one female knight, Hell Rose Li Xin?"

"Yes, that's her!" Ye Ling nodded.

"She's a True Knight!" Balza was stunned, but his eyes were filled with delight.

With the guidance of these two, perhaps the knight students could improve greatly over the next month.

Their strength would definitely rise by a tremendous amount.

Perhaps this year's assessment would even have the highest passing rate yet.

Thinking of this, Instructor Balza led Ye Ling and Li Xin toward the training grounds.

Before long, they arrived at the Arena of the Odin Sub-Temple.

Around thirty children of about ten years old were present, holding longswords with solemn expressions in their eyes.

They were this year's Sub-Temple Knight Students.

Among that group of children, Ye Ling immediately spotted one child who stood out.

Though the child was a boy, his appearance was so beautiful that even girls would be jealous. He was the Son of the World in this world, and also the future Son of Light.

Ye Ling looked at him immediately.

Long Haochen also looked at Ye Ling at once, and their eyes met.

A faint look of excitement appeared on Long Haochen's face.

Why?

Because the two of them already knew each other well!

I never expected Brother Ye to return today. It really caught me by surprise, but it isn't bad either!

Long Haochen thought to himself.

But he could never have imagined that Ye Ling had returned to become an instructor.
