Holding Li Xin's Hand, More Guidance, A Month Passes!

Ye Ling was very fast. Especially after fully awakening his martial soul, his speed had increased countless times over.

In less than ten minutes, he had left the mountains and caught sight of the gates to Odin Sub-Temple.

Inside the gates stood an exceptionally beautiful figure, her lovely eyes sweeping over the surroundings as though searching for something.

When Ye Ling returned, their eyes met.

Seeing Ye Ling approach, Li Xin said irritably, "Where did you go? I couldn't find you early this morning. I thought you'd gone straight back to Haoyue Branch Temple."

Hearing Li Xin's words, Ye Ling laughed and teased, "It seems the God of Light heard what Sister Xin'er said yesterday, so he called me away to receive an opportunity and inheritance. He told me to hurry up and reach the Ninth Rank, then let Sister Xin'er benefit from it."

As he spoke, he reached out and took Li Xin's jade-like hand. Although Li Xin trained quite often, her hands did not have many calluses. On the contrary, they were soft and felt very comfortable in his grasp.

Noticing Ye Ling's action, Li Xin was somewhat surprised, but she did not pull away.

She froze for a moment, hesitated slightly, then immediately replied, "What do you mean, I benefit from you? Your sister here is so beautiful. Shouldn't it be you benefiting from me?" Only after saying that did Li Xin realize what she had said, and her pretty face flushed red. "Who wants to benefit from you?"

Hearing this, Ye Ling laughed. Without saying much more, he held Li Xin's hand and led her toward the depths of the sub-temple.

At this moment, all the students in the Arena had already gathered there, looking ahead with serious expressions as though waiting for something.

When they saw Ye Ling arrive, they immediately looked at him excitedly.

His guidance yesterday had benefited them immensely.

That single day of instruction had already been far better than a month of teaching from Instructor Balza.

If the next month continued like this, there was no need to even mention the results.

Just that single day of instruction had elevated Ye Ling's standing.

When Ye Ling and Li Xin entered, everyone immediately stood up, their gazes carrying a trace of fervor as they watched attentively.

Ye Ling and Li Xin were both stunned when they saw their reactions.

After Instructor Balza explained, they understood what had happened.

"It looks like they really approve of your teaching, little brother."

Li Xin teased as she looked at Ye Ling.

At the same time, she felt a little proud. In a sense, Ye Ling could be said to have been "trained" by her own hand. Naturally, she was proud to see him so highly regarded.

"Since you're all so energetic, I'll teach you something practical."

"Instructor Balza should normally have had you engage in actual combat, but probably not very often. What I want to teach you now is that in the future, blindly increasing your spiritual power is not the proper path. For us, actual combat is the most important thing!"

Ye Ling spoke seriously. Then, instead of drawing the Angel Sacred Sword, he casually took out a Wooden Sword and silently looked ahead.

"Haochen, you're first." Holding the Wooden Sword, Ye Ling looked at Long Haochen and called out.

At that, the countless students looked at Long Haochen enviously, as though fighting Ye Ling were some wonderful opportunity.

Long Haochen stepped forward and took hold of a Wooden Sword as well, a trace of fervor flashing through his eyes.

The dashing sight of Ye Ling casually slaughtering those hundred Wolf Demons yesterday remained vivid in his mind, and he regarded Ye Ling as an idol.

Being able to exchange blows with Ye Ling now was naturally a good thing.

Very quickly, he gripped the Wooden Sword in his hand, shouted loudly, and charged toward Ye Ling, launching his attack.

Every strike was extremely serious, yet none was a full-force blow. Every step left room for retreat, allowing him to cancel his attack and evade at any time.

It seems Haochen's combat talent really is innate. He knows how to formulate tactics according to each side's strengths and weaknesses and control the course of battle. He truly is the naturally born Son of Light.

Ye Ling praised him inwardly, but it was only praise. Ye Ling himself was no worse, and Long Haochen's supposedly precise calculations in battle were not difficult for him to deal with.

In Ye Ling's eyes, Long Haochen's few strikes were riddled with openings!

With that thought, Ye Ling shifted his body slightly and dodged the strike. Then his Wooden Sword thrust toward Long Haochen, the attack exceptionally sharp.

Long Haochen did not say much. He had predicted this move long ago.

He prepared to dodge, but at that moment, the Wooden Sword in Ye Ling's hand suddenly changed direction and thrust at Long Haochen once more, stopping about five centimeters before his brow.

"What!" Long Haochen froze where he stood. He understood that he had lost.

Ye Ling withdrew his sword and explained the shortcomings in Long Haochen's battle, as well as the areas he could improve.

By the end, delight had appeared in Long Haochen's eyes.

Finally, he slowly rose to his feet, looked at Ye Ling, nodded, and said, "I understand, Brother Ye."

After saying that, he turned and returned to his place. Holding the Wooden Sword, he began swinging it. He firmly remembered every word Ye Ling had said and put them into practice.

"Ye Ling has really grown terrifyingly over these past two years. Even I feel like I've learned quite a lot from the things he just taught Long Haochen." Watching this scene, Instructor Balza could not help but sigh.

"Of course." Li Xin spoke proudly, though she also found something strange. She could sense fluctuations of Inner Spiritual Power from Ye Ling, and it was an extremely vast amount at that. But after thinking about it, that seemed impossible. Ye Ling had only become a Crescent Knight yesterday.

And today, he had awakened Inner Spiritual Power and become a true knight?

How could that be possible?

Ye Ling did not know what Li Xin was thinking. Instead, he looked at the group of children and began calling them forward according to the order he had learned.

"Jiang Hu!" Ye Ling called out.

After that, he continued guiding them. During every battle, Long Haochen watched without blinking. He desperately wanted to learn Ye Ling's combat techniques.

Soon, all thirty students had finished. What they had learned felt incredible, and they felt their actual combat abilities had improved countless times over. Some of the students had even fought each other just now and felt that they had risen by more than one level.

It was truly not bad.

As night fell, they did not linger for long and instead went home to rest.

Ye Ling gave Long Haochen another bottle of Spirit Nurturing Liquid and told him to cultivate properly and not damage his foundation. Long Haochen then left as well.

Long Haochen and Li Xin each returned to their own rooms to cultivate, waiting for everything that would happen next.

Over the following days, their lives mostly followed the same routine.

They guided those students, then returned to cultivate.

And just like that, nearly a month passed.

That was also the day the true story of Sealed Divine Thr​​one began.
