Chapter 133: Modifying the Rules! This Is Obvious.
Ye Ling was currently at a loss for words.
Originally, he had planned to delay his breakthrough speed.
After all, although the Golden Dragon King bloodline would be extremely terrifying after a breakthrough, it was also far too dangerous.
The first nine layers were manageable. According to the descriptions in the original work, the first nine layers only contained a certain amount of power and did not include fundamental force, so Ye Ling could choose to break through them at will without any major issues.
However.
The situation with the latter nine layers was different. Unlike the first nine layers, the latter nine layers did not only contain even more surging power, but also held all of the Golden Dragon King's evil thoughts and violent aura, along with a certain degree of its consciousness.
This made things rather troublesome.
Ye Ling did have the ability to suppress it, but if he failed to suppress it properly even once, it would become a serious problem.
Perhaps he would not explode and die on the spot, since he had the capital to endure it, but it would definitely not be pleasant.
Thinking of this, Ye Ling chose to continue observing the seals within.
But for Ye Ling, things would not be so simple.
To be precise.
The ten layers of seals he had previously unsealed were manageable, but the remaining eight layers of seals had now fully revealed their true forms. With just a glance inside, one could sense the extremely violent aura within; a single look made Ye Ling feel as though he had fallen into a hell of slaughter.
It was truly strange.
"It seems this should be the battle between the Dragon God and the five great God Kings back then," Ye Ling remarked softly as he observed everything.
For now, the matters Ye Ling needed to handle were still within the Holy Demon Continent.
Li Xin: "." Younger brother, you really do not understand the atmosphere.
As for the hatred tied to the bloodline, that could be discussed later.
"Oh right, that's how it is." Li Xin let out a breath and patted her full chest to calm herself, but then thought of something and looked at Ye Ling and Long Haochen beside her. "Then next, if the two of you run into each other, what should you do?"
Regardless of whether dragons or gods, all perished within it and turned into nothingness.
Long Haochen had long wanted to fight Ye Ling to see just how large the gap between them truly was, but he had never had the opportunity.
"Isn't it obvious?" Li Xin asked in confusion.
Ye Ling shook his head and said nothing. Yang Wenzhao was just like this; in the original work, he and Long Haochen had exchanged countless battles with just their gazes.
"What should we do?" Ye Ling asked in confusion, casually spreading his hands. "Isn't the way the two of us handle it obvious?"
Li Xin chose to remain silent.
So strange.
"It is indeed obvious." Long Haochen's eyes flashed with intense battle intent as he said, "Naturally, we go all out!"
At this moment, what Ye Ling was displaying was still the dense aura of light brought by the Six-Winged Angel, which was the best aspect he could present.
How could he tremble because of this bloodline power?
However, he did not step forward to ask anything. Instead, he obediently sat in his seat and watched everything on the grand platform.
As for Long Haochen, he said, "Even if he does not look at us, it is impossible, because we will inevitably become one of his competitors who cross the line next."
Sensing Ye Ling's actions, Gu Yuena above Ye Ling's head did not say much. Instead, she guided the elemental power released from nearby to envelop Ye Ling, solely to help him quickly stabilize his own aura.
For him, no matter how terrifying the Golden Dragon King bloodline was, it was still his own bloodline power, merely a tool of his, a tool he used to increase his strength.
"Sister Xin'er, what are you thinking about? We are at the fifth rank, and there are no battles for us today or tomorrow. We have a bye," Ye Ling said helplessly.
Hearing this, Li Xin's expression changed. "Then we're done for. If I run into the two of you next, wouldn't I be guaranteed to lose?"
Hearing this, Ye Ling said helplessly, "Sister, you are my retainer. No matter win or lose, even if you cross the line later, you will stay with me. What are you panicking for? The outcome will be the same anyway."
"Whether it is me or Brother Ye, once someone holds back, that is disrespectful to the other!"
Strange.
Ye Ling also gradually stabilized his aura, at least enough so that his bloodline power would no longer leak outward.
"That is to say, among the fifth-rank knights, not all will necessarily cross the line. There will definitely be fifth-rank knights who are suppressed by other fifth-rank knights, or even eliminated!"
Aside from the three of them, only one other fifth-rank knight had arrived here, and that was Yang Wenzhao, the one in the original work whose strength at this rank was second only to Long Haochen.
Perhaps to others, the powerful aura and intimidation revealed by that bloodline power would make them afraid to move, or even submit outright.
"Little brother, next, we are also about to begin this final battle." Li Xin looked at the sea of people present, a trace of battle intent flashing in her eyes. Clearly, she had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
However, for the current Ye Ling, he still needed to quickly reclaim the two shattered layers of seals into himself and completely turn them into his own power. Otherwise, when breaking the seals in the future, the trouble would only increase.
When he saw the three of them arrive, he instinctively looked over, somewhat surprised that, besides himself, there were actually other fifth ranks who had come here.
After all, a knight using the power of light was quite normal, was it not?
In any case, it had nothing to do with him.
"Just yesterday, my teacher found me and told me that because there are too many fifth-rank knights, the alliance has made some adjustments to the competition system. Next, fifth-rank knights will clash later on, and may even be eliminated."
Although her current memories were not very many, she still understood just how terrifying the Golden Dragon King's bloodline was. If it was not properly controlled and something went wrong, even she would be powerless to reverse it.
The next day.
After stabilizing everything, Ye Ling immediately found Li Xin and Long Haochen, then followed the two of them to the Holy City Grand Arena.
Moreover, they were from the same city.
"Little brother, that number one knight seemed to be sizing us up just now." Li Xin noticed this and said so while looking at Ye Ling.
She did not say much more.
Ye Ling said nothing and simply led them inside.
Thinking of this, Ye Ling stopped speaking and began stabilizing his own power.
Long Haochen sat in seat number four, Li Xin in seat number five, and Ye Ling in seat number six. Beside Ye Ling was a seat number seven knight; he was also fifth rank, but he did not come over.
Thinking of this, Ye Ling no longer hesitated and withdrew from bloodline inner observation.
Then he waited for the Demon Hunt Squad Tournament to begin tomorrow.
Long Haochen explained.
Li Xin was not afraid of who would lose, but she feared brothers turning against each other.
Very quickly, he found his seat and sat down.
To be honest, he was really looking forward to truly encountering Ye Ling. Regardless of victory or defeat, he just wanted to fight a satisfying battle!
"It's fine, Haochen. If we really run into each other and you lose, you don't have to worry about being unable to participate in the Demon Hunt Squad. Brother will take you in as a retainer, and then you can continue participating in the Demon Hunt Squad with me. Wouldn't that be wonderful?" Ye Ling laughed heartily.
"I have at least completed my single-character battle armor. Who will win or lose next is still uncertain. Maybe next, Brother Ye, you will become my retainer!" Long Haochen protested.
"My spirit armor has been upgraded to the two-character level," Ye Ling replied calmly.
"." Long Haochen was speechless, and after a long while replied, "As expected of you."
