Background

Ye Ling is a transmigrator who spent two years cultivating at the Haoyue Branch Temple. Initially only a Seventh-Level Knight Attendant, he was anxious that his ordinary rate of progress would leave him behind the coming generation of prodigies. His fortunes changed when his sign-in system granted him the Light Martial Soul, Six-Winged Angel. 1 2

After returning to Odin Sub-Temple, Ye Ling became an instructor for Knight Attendants and trained students in practical combat. Long Haochen became his first sparring partner and one of the students he guided most closely. 6

Ye Ling secretly completed a Sacred Awakening on a mountain peak, obtained Innate Internal Spiritual Power, and began developing his Angel Soul Skills. During this period, he encountered Long Haochen and Sheng Cai'er, saved them from Wolf Demons, and persuaded Cai'er to endure her Reincarnation trials so they could eventually fight demons as teammates. 4 5 11

Rather than leave Haoyue for Long Xingyu's direct tutelage, Ye Ling chose to remain tied to the Haoyue Branch Temple. Long Xingyu nevertheless offered to guide him during Long Haochen's training. 14

Personality

Ye Ling is ambitious but calculated. He intends to improve humanity's position against the Demon Race, deliberately pursues techniques and resources that can change the wider war, and repeatedly refuses to expose every secret of his power before it is necessary. 34 296 515

He is protective toward companions, particularly Cai'er, Long Haochen, and Li Xin. He encouraged Cai'er to pursue strength for herself rather than remain under protection, arranged Thousand Strikes Marrow Cleansing for Long Haochen, and regularly develops equipment or cultivation methods to raise his team's survival chances. 11 46 173

Despite his overwhelming strength, Ye Ling often treats combat as instruction. He challenges allies without needlessly humiliating them, reveals power to give Long Haochen a clear goal, and deliberately creates opportunities for Cai'er and other teammates to attain breakthroughs. 141 275 453
