Lantan Is Acting Strange

This was Lei Lin's absolute trump card; as long as no Saint Realm expert made a move, he had nothing to fear!

Moreover, as long as he wished, he could fly even higher. If he exceeded a thousand meters, his opponents would basically be unable to even touch him.

Then, boom~

As the ammunition for the Electromagnetic Cannon, the Judgment Straight Blade arrived in an instant.

However, his target was not the black-clad man chasing him, but one of the two black-clad men still dragging Lantan.

The opponent was already struggling immensely just to drag Lantan; how could he have expected Lei Lin to hit him with such a move at this moment?

Or rather, even if he had noticed, he would have had no way to dodge.

Because he had no energy left to evade, which was exactly why Lei Lin chose him as the target.

With this strike, the black-clad man was pierced through the chest by the straight blade, looking at Lei Lin in the air with eyes full of pain and unwillingness.

Swish~

A brilliant sword light flashed by, and the face filled with pain and unwillingness soared into the sky.

The black-clad man who had just used the explosive secret technique saw this scene and fled without saying a word.

Lei Lin was about to pursue and kill him, but he stopped instead.

Because through his reconnaissance methods, he discovered that five experts with level nine auras had already surrounded them, three of whom were heading straight to kill the fleeing black-clad man.

Feeling the extremely pure light aura on them, Lei Lin immediately understood that they were all people from the Radiant Church.

Glancing again at Lantan, who was still fighting and seemed to be planning to capture the opponent alive, Lei Lin flew to the high altitude behind Lantan without a word, continuing to act as a qualified support.

However, he slowly gave up on supporting Lantan, turning instead to fully utilize electromagnetic waves and magic like paralysis to interfere with the black-clad men.

By the time the other two level nine experts from the Radiant Church arrived on the scene, the outcome had been completely settled.

Looking at the black-clad man who had finally been dismembered, his body twitching from time to time due to paralysis, Lei Lin looked at Lantan and said, "Lantan..."

"Senior!"

By now, Lei Lin had roughly understood the sequence of events.

The current situation was likely that after he became famous, he attracted the attention of the Dark Church, leading to the planning of this incident.

And after the Radiant Church received the news, they also intended to go with the flow, using this as a basis to set up this ambush in reverse.

In this way, the Radiant Church could not only disrupt the Dark Church's operation but also owe him a favor.

The Dark Church had been used as a tool in this wave. They even lost three level nine experts; how miserable!

Thinking these things through, Lei Lin felt a bit comforted.

Actually, when he first became famous, he had wondered why he hadn't attracted the recruitment of the Radiant Church like Lin Lei did in the original work.

He was even speechless that after he became famous, he went directly to the Magic Beast Mountain Range for training, and when he returned, no one from the Radiant Church had come.

He had clearly communicated with his master, Sa'er, long ago, expressing his willingness to join the Radiant Church.

With his current fame and popularity, if Sa'er knew, Clyde would definitely know.

If Clyde knew, the Radiant Church would certainly know.

In this regard, he once suspected that without the protagonist's halo, he wouldn't attract the attention of the Radiant Church and wouldn't be worthy of being recruited by this [Dark Force] that once spanned dimensions and heavens.

Now he finally understood; he was being used as bait!

They could fish for the Dark Church and sell him a life-saving favor at the same time. If he were the Radiant Church, he would do the same!

He had actually thought there was a love-struck, innocent princess in this day and age!

Lantan smiled slightly and said, "Lei Lin, calling me 'Senior' makes me feel uncomfortable. You should call me Princess Lantan instead!"

Lei Lin's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself, "Princess? With your strength to suppress three level nine experts, if you were really a princess, Clyde, that emperor, should abdicate and yield the throne!"

Looking at Lei Lin's expression, Lantan still smiled brilliantly: "Lord Lei Lin, I am not lying to you. My identity as a princess is the real deal."

"If you are willing, I can also be your... concubine in the future!"

She was not joking!

Originally, the Radiant Church only sent her to protect Lei Lin. After all, although Lei Lin was currently the greatest mage in history, his elemental affinity was only medium, and the people above did not think highly of his future.

They felt that even if he could break through to the Saint Realm in the future, he would only be an ordinary Saint Realm expert!

But his performance in this battle made Lantan realize that Lei Lin's future was absolutely infinitely bright.

The medium elemental affinity qualification was not a flaw in her eyes now; on the contrary, it highlighted Lei Lin's extraordinary talent and comprehension even more.

Once he reached the Saint Realm, Lei Lin would definitely become a pillar of the Church and a true high-level member of the Church in the future.

If she could become his concubine, even if she couldn't get rid of her status as a tool, it would still be much better than it was now.

Moreover, being able to recruit such a talented genius like Lei Lin, wasn't it exactly what she should do to dedicate herself to the great Lord of Light?

Seeing Lantan act this way, Lei Lin was stunned.

In any faction, level nine experts were extremely precious. Without the Saint Realm, level nine was the absolute high level. In the Fenlai Kingdom, there were only two level nine experts: Clyde and Kaisa!

Furthermore, a level nine expert might experience an epiphany regarding the laws of the world at any moment and ascend to the Saint Realm.

Once that happens, they become the pillars of support for any faction, the true foundation that ensures the continuation and dominance of their power.

The fact that Lantan could single-handedly suppress three level nine experts from the Dark Church proved that she was an absolute powerhouse even among level nine ranks, and she could potentially break through to the Saint Realm at any time.

No matter how high his own talent was, it logically shouldn't be enough to make her act so subservient, completely lacking the demeanor of a level nine powerhouse!

"Senior Lantan really loves to joke." Unsure of the situation, Lei Lin decided to laugh it off and play along.

However, Lantan said gently, "Lord Lei Lin, I am not joking!"

"In such a dangerous situation, you were still willing to protect my safety. Such righteous character is truly a perfect embodiment of the great teachings of the Lord of Light."

"Even within the Radiant Church, there is no true knight like you!"

"And Lei Lin, you don't need to call me Senior; just call me by my name, Lantan."

In the span of just a few sentences, the form of address had become even more intimate.

As she spoke, Lantan reached out and hugged Lei Lin's arm, looking at him with a face full of sincerity.

Lei Lin, who was a head taller than Lantan, looked at her face—which held a hint of shyness amidst its sincerity—and felt the softness against his arm; the smile on his face froze for a moment.

This was the result of him using his methods to forcibly paralyze his facial nerves with micro-currents to control his expression.

Otherwise, he feared he truly wouldn't be able to keep a straight face!

Something is wrong, this is way too wrong. Even though my modeling in this life is quite good, do I really have such a massive attraction to women?

Lantan looks very young too. To have this level of strength at her age, she must be a prime candidate for breaking through to the Saint Realm within the Radiant Church. Is there really a need to act like this? With various thoughts tangled in his mind, Lei Lin didn't know how to respond for a moment.
