At this moment, he didn't dare to pull his arm away directly, so he casually changed the subject: "Lantan, senior... um, your name is truly beautiful!"
Just after saying this, a flash of inspiration struck Lei Lin's mind. He looked straight at Lantan and asked, "By the way, Lantan, how do you write your name?"
Lantan looked at Lei Lin, feeling that such a young boy was truly adorable.
She used her Radiant Battle Qi to write her name [Lantan] directly onto the palm of Lei Lin's hand, and after finishing, she even gave his palm a playful tickle.
Looking at the two characters [Lantan], Lei Lin felt his body tremble, and he thought to himself: An angel, this woman is an angel!
Damn it, I always thought the character [Tan] was pronounced 'zan', so it's actually 'dan'!
The angel Lantan, a Four-Winged Angel, is a level nine expert in her normal state, and a biological weapon capable of erupting with Saint Realm strength once she unleashes her power.
In the future, while hunting down the protagonist Lin Lei, she would be killed by him.
Lei Lin now understood why Lantan was acting this way; she wasn't teasing him, she was placing a bet and investing in him.
Angels are biological weapons born from the Angel Reincarnation Pool. They possess whatever strength they have at the moment of their reincarnation, with no room for improvement.
Moreover, they are absolutely loyal to the Main God, willing to die without hesitation for the sake of the Main God.
To the Church, they are just tools—perfect and highly useful... tools—and are never treated as human beings.
But angels actually have their own thoughts. As long as they do not violate their loyalty to the Main God, they are no different from normal people.
Realizing the background of the person before him, Lei Lin felt his heart settle; at the very least, he no longer had to worry about whether she had some ulterior motive.
After all, to the Radiant Church, he—with talent that could be called the greatest in history and the potential to advance to the Saint Realm—was truly not someone an angel could compare to in their eyes.
Lei Lin said with a cheerful laugh: "Yes, hahaha~, I have been a devout believer in the great Lord of Light since I was a child."
"I am able to perform like this because I have always believed that justice will prevail, and those vermin of the Dark Church will one day be wiped clean."
"Victory always belongs to the light!"
"Since I was young, I have dreamed of joining the Church, fighting for the Church, and spreading the faith for the Lord. My master, Sa'er, has also been very supportive of my ideas."
"It's just that my talent isn't very good, and despite my efforts, I've only reached the strength of a level seven expert!"
"Originally, I thought that a mere level seven expert would be of no use to the Church, so I planned to wait until I was stronger and more valuable to the Church before serving the great Lord of Light."
"But I never expected the Church to have already noticed me and even sent you to protect me. I... I am truly so moved!"
As he spoke, Lei Lin felt he might have overdone it a bit, so he decided to pull back and change the subject: "By the way, Lantan, I tried to cast buffing magic on you during the battle, but it didn't seem to have any effect."
"What is going on with that?"
As he spoke, he looked at the [Lantan] characters left on his palm by her Radiant Battle Qi and added: "Also, your Battle Qi is truly pure and incredibly solid."
"You easily suppressed those three vermin from the Dark Church in the battle just now; how did you cultivate that?!"
Lantan smiled: "My cultivation method is quite special, which is why the Radiant Battle Qi I cultivate is so pure and powerful."
"However, it is very repellent to non-light attribute powers, so low-level or same-level buffing magic is basically useless on us."
"Even buffing magic stronger than my own strength will be somewhat weakened!"
While speaking, Lantan placed her hand on Lei Lin's chest, channeling her Battle Qi into his body to soothe the blood and energy that had been agitated during the battle and to repair his strained muscles.
Allowing someone else's Battle Qi to enter one's body requires a certain level of trust; after all, if the other party had any malicious intent, this portion of Battle Qi could shatter his internal organs at any moment.
But Lei Lin wasn't worried at all, because if Lantan really wanted to attack him, he wouldn't have the qualifications to resist with his current strength.
He thought to himself: It's truly pure, as expected of an ang...
As he felt it, a sudden jolt went through Lei Lin's heart, and his thoughts froze. He grabbed Lantan's hand and said: "More, give me more!"
Seeing Lantan's confused expression, Lei Lin grinned and said: "Hehe~, don't mind me, Lantan."
"I have never felt such pure power of light before, and for a moment, I was a bit obsessed."
He moved to let go of Lantan's hand, but after a brief moment of surprise, Lantan held onto Lei Lin's hand instead: "Lei Lin, your faith in the Lord of Light is truly devout."
As she spoke, she pressed her entire body against Lei Lin, channeling her Battle Qi into his body from all directions so that he could experience the warmth of the light more comprehensively and perfectly.
This embrace lasted for nearly a quarter of an hour, to the point where her team members started to have opinions about it.
However, Lantan was the captain of their squad and the only Four-Winged Angel among them, so her status was far beyond theirs; they wouldn't be foolish enough to interrupt.
After carefully and thoroughly feeling Lantan's Radiant Battle Qi, Lei Lin satisfiedly let go of her and said: "Lantan, I was truly shocked by what happened today."
"Although my body has been repaired, I am still mentally exhausted, so I need to go back and get some good rest."
"Thank you for satisfying my request to feel the light, but punishing the darkness is also an urgent matter. You must have these captives to deal with, so go ahead!"
Lantan looked at the two restrained captives and smiled: "Yes, alright, Lei Lin. Thank you for your understanding. Once I finish dealing with this, I will come to your mansion to see you."
"I'll have a surprise for you then!"
Lei Lin nodded and said: "Yes, I will wait for your surprise, but for now, go and punish the darkness!"
Watching the reluctant Lantan leave, Lei Lin immediately returned to his mansion and dove into his laboratory.
The flash of inspiration from Lantan's Battle Qi earlier had finally made him understand what that inexplicable sense of déjà vu was when he had previously studied the bloodlines of Lin Lei and Beibei along with the Dragonblood Secret Manual.
Carefully reviewing his previous research records and the Dragonblood Secret Manual, Lei Lin whispered to himself: "My previous thoughts were wrong."
"The Dragonblood Secret Manual definitely didn't come from the Four Divine Beasts clan, because the Four Divine Beasts clan has their own means of awakening bloodlines."
"Their descendants can become gods directly through the Dragon Transformation Pool and then study and comprehend the laws."
"And this shouldn't have been created by Beirut either; he isn't a research genius like Ao Fu. To this day, he can't even awaken the bloodlines of his own descendants."
"In the original story, the method Beirut used to study the Four Divine Beasts was also a 'cast a wide net' approach. The first generation of Ultimate Warriors like Baruch were all lucky winners under the laws of probability!"
