At second thought, though, Elacris's surging consciousness settled slightly.
No.
Even at the fifth rank, challenging this pair would offer almost no chance of victory.
The twin knights possessed dedicated damage-reduction and damage-amplification auras, linked defenses, and nearly flawless tactical coordination.
At the fifth rank, crossing this chasm forged from teamwork and rank difference was nearly impossible.
Besides, this child didn't look like a warrior who specialized in strength and defense.
Yet—
Down below, Xuan Ye's eyes burned with fierce determination.
A figure appeared in his mind.
Long Haochen!
His younger brother.
In the original story, Long Haochen had also challenged these Skeleton Knights at the fifth rank.
Though his total Spiritual Power back then might have been considerably higher than Xuan Ye's was now,

He absolutely could not be worse than him!

At every step, he had to go farther and faster than Long Haochen!
Break through in less time.
And...

An overwhelming aura burst from Xuan Ye's body!
It was neither pure light nor pure darkness.
It was light and darkness intertwined, the sacred and the ominous dancing together!
