Teaching Long Haochen, Li Xin Wanted to Give Herself to Him Cheap? Signing In the Angel Sacred Sword!
"These two are instructors from the Haoyue Branch Temple. One of them is even a true knight," Instructor Balza began introducing them.
When he introduced Ye Ling, a trace of pride appeared on his face. "And this one could, in a sense, be considered your senior brother. He passed the Knight Test two years ago and is now already a Crescent Knight!"
As soon as Instructor Balza said this, all the students looked at Ye Ling with admiration.
They did not envy powerful figures from elsewhere, but since he came from the same place as them, perhaps they might have a chance too!
At that thought, their hearts filled with hope.
Perhaps they could also reach the level of a Crescent Knight!
But for now, they still planned to first strive to reach the level of a First-Rank Knight Attendant—ten points of spiritual power.
Soon, under Instructor Balza's direction, they spread out and began the morning training.
One after another, they swung the Wooden Swords in their hands and practiced chopping. This was the most basic foundational training for knights. Ye Ling had gone through the same thing in the past.
Seeing this, a faint smile crossed Ye Ling's lips.
He began observing the knight students.
Very seriously.
"Haochen, you're putting too much force into your arms. Training like that will only injure them. Heavy blows are meant for enemies."
The first person Ye Ling approached was Long Haochen.
He began guiding him through his problems.
Long Haochen had quite a few flaws, but Ye Ling pointed them out one by one.
Long Haochen was slightly stunned upon hearing this, but he immediately understood what Ye Ling meant. "I understand, Brother Ye."
His talent was extremely high. In the next moment, he adjusted his movements. After only a few attempts, he found the right rhythm.
Very quickly, he entered a state of perfect chopping.
Every movement left Ye Ling unable to find fault. Training in this manner increased his efficiency and improvement by far more than twenty percent, while greatly reducing the damage to his muscles.
Not bad.
Feeling the force of the slashes he unleashed, even Long Haochen could not help tightening his grip around the sword in his hand. This was the result he had always wanted to achieve in training, yet he had never been able to find the key.
Even when he had previously asked Instructor Balza for guidance, the instructor had not been able to point out much. Yet after just a few words from Ye Ling, everything suddenly became clear.
As expected of Brother Ye.
"This child has exceptional comprehension!" Li Xin, standing nearby, could not help giving him high praise.
Hearing that, Ye Ling did not say much. The truly impressive part was yet to come.
Still, he did not linger with Long Haochen for too long. He had other students to guide as well. Otherwise, how could he be called a teacher?
Soon, the day's training came to an end.
Daylight gave way to night.
The students also stopped training.
They thanked Ye Ling as well.
During today's training, Ye Ling had found all of their problems. This greatly increased their training speed and significantly improved their chances of passing the test.
This was an enormous kindness!
Thus, they gradually came to acknowledge Ye Ling and accept him as their teacher.
Meanwhile, Instructor Balza assisted from the side and distributed the remaining Spirit Nurturing Liquid at the end.
The knight disciples then left one after another.
In the end, only Ye Ling, Li Xin, and Long Haochen remained.
Long Haochen was just about to leave when Ye Ling called out to him. "Haochen, don't go yet."
"What is it, Brother Ye?" Long Haochen turned around and looked at Ye Ling in confusion.
"You aren't planning to drink that bottle of Spirit Nurturing Liquid, are you?" Ye Ling smiled as he asked.
"Brother Ye, that's not it! I'll definitely drink the Spirit Nurturing Liquid!" Long Haochen froze in place like a child who had done something wrong. He was an honest and upright person by nature, and lying now made him somewhat...
"Your vitality and blood are lacking, and the nurturing foundation in your body is unstable. I imagine you haven't used any of this year's Spirit Nurturing Liquid. Instead, you gave it to someone else. If I'm not mistaken, Aunt Bai Yue's health is still poor, and you've been giving your Spirit Nurturing Liquid to her, haven't you?" Ye Ling said calmly.
In the original story, Long Haochen's initial conviction had been his mother. With his diligence and potential, surpassing Jiang Hu at that time—or even breaking through twenty points of spiritual power—should have been effortless.
Yet he had only nine points!
He had nearly failed!
"Brother Ye, don't take away my Spirit Nurturing Liquid. My mother, she..." Long Haochen became frightened. He feared nothing, except losing the Spirit Nurturing Liquid.
Before he could finish, Ye Ling tossed him something.
It was another bottle of Spirit Nurturing Liquid.
"This one—don't take it home. Drink it right now," Ye Ling said directly, leaving Long Haochen no chance to object.
Hearing that, Long Haochen said nothing and immediately drank it.
The Spirit Nurturing Liquid was colorless and tasteless, though it did not taste very good. Yet Ye Ling's gesture filled Long Haochen's heart with gratitude.
His big brother was still the same as ever!
"Thank you, Brother Ye." After drinking it, Long Haochen obediently handed the bottle back to Ye Ling. Faint tears welled in his small face as he gave Ye Ling several highest-level Knight's Salutes.
He would remember this favor for the rest of his life.
But he did not forget what mattered most. He sprinted toward home.
"This child is quite filial." Li Xin nodded from the side, somewhat satisfied with Long Haochen. From Ye Ling and Long Haochen's conversation, she had more or less understood the situation.
But in the next moment, she suddenly turned around, smiling as she looked at Ye Ling. "Still, I'm quite curious. Did he come here to train disguised as a girl, just like I did before?"
Li Xin was very curious. With Long Haochen's breathtakingly beautiful appearance, she truly could not believe he was not a girl.
"Haochen is really a boy. I can personally guarantee that," Ye Ling shook his head.
As for how exactly he could guarantee it, that could only be explained by what had happened in the past. It was not something he could say now.
Still, it was rather amusing.
It seemed that no matter the circumstances, Li Xin would mistake Long Haochen for a girl. But that was normal. Long Haochen's features were simply too soft and feminine.
If he really put on women's clothes, probably no one would doubt that he was a girl.
"Ah, what a pity." Li Xin sighed with some regret, though no one knew what exactly she found regrettable.
"Come on, Sister Xin'er. If you keep slacking off, you won't make it into the next Demon Hunting Group either," Ye Ling said helplessly, glancing at her from the corner of his eye.
"As if you'll be able to make it in!" Li Xin bristled like a cat with its fur standing on end.
"Maybe I will. After all, I have the protection of the God of Light. Entering a Demon Hunting Group in three and a half years would be easy, wouldn't it?" Ye Ling laughed.
"Keep bragging." Li Xin rolled her eyes.
Then she added, "If that day really comes, even if your big sister lets you have her for cheap, it'll be fine. Just wait for this future Divine Seal Knight to look after your big sister." Li Xin teased him, but did not say much more. She returned to the temporary residence arranged for her, intending to begin cultivating her Inner Spiritual Power.
Li Xin knew very well that Ye Ling was right. If she continued slacking off, she truly would have no hope of successfully joining the Demon Hunting Group this time.
Unlike the younger Ye Ling, Li Xin was already seventeen this year. By the session after next, she would be over the Demon Hunting Group's age limit of twenty-five. If she failed next time, she would completely lose her chance.
Watching Li Xin leave, Ye Ling smiled. "Raising a flag like that means you won't be able to get away, Sister Xin'er."
Before this, Ye Ling had not possessed much confidence. But now that he had awakened his martial soul, the Divine Seal Knight realm was honestly only the starting point, not the end.
After muttering a few words to himself, he returned directly to the room that had been arranged for him.
In fact, the system had sent him a notification long ago.
Detected that the host has arrived in a designated area: Odin Sub-Temple. The host may now sign in.
Ye Ling had not dared to sign in outside just now, fearing that some unusual phenomenon might appear.
"Sign in!"
Host sign-in successful. Signed in: Angel God's Super Divine Artifact Angel Sacred Sword!
