Chapter 62 Knight Sacred Mountain, Beginning the Assault on the Golden Dragon King's Seal!
Li Xin did not say much more. She glanced at the surrounding faces full of astonishment, thought for a moment, and then led the three of them away.
No one liked being surrounded and stared at like a spectacle, least of all when those being watched were three young geniuses. So she quickly took Ye Ling and the others and departed toward another place.
Before long, they arrived at Nalan Shu's office. As soon as Long Haochen saw him, he immediately went forward to hand over the letter left by Long Xingyu.
Ye Ling and Cai'er, meanwhile, sat on chairs to one side, across from Li Xin, who was studying them curiously. She had just finished listening to everything Ye Ling recounted, and her blood was boiling with excitement. She almost wished she could have taken Ye Ling's place on the battlefield against the demons.
In truth, when they had first received the message, they had quickly gathered troops and rushed toward Odin Town. Yet by the time they arrived, the battle was already over. They could only return in frustration.
Now, from Ye Ling's words, Li Xin had learned the truth, including Long Xingyu's actions and his true identity.
"To think that Haochen's father is actually that Judgment Divine Knight, Long Xingyu. He has always been my idol. And yet when I saw him before, I didn't even recognize him."
"What a pity, what a pity."
Li Xin sighed. As the current Hall Master of the Knights' Temple, the foremost Retribution Knight in the open, Long Xingyu was naturally the role model of all who cultivated the path of Retribution. He was the figure they all strove toward.
To be able to meet him in person would have been a tremendous fortune. Yet it was regrettable—she had met him but not recognized him, and had failed to learn even the slightest from the encounter.
"At the next Demon Hunt Squad selection, there should be a chance to meet him. We can talk about it then."
"There will always be opportunities," Ye Ling said with a shrug, unconcerned.
Finding Long Xingyu was not difficult for him. With his understanding of both Long Xingyu and the Knights' Temple, it would be a simple matter to seek him out at will.
Li Xin could only press her hand to her forehead helplessly, almost coughing blood. To speak of a Divine Knight so casually, as though he were a cabbage in the market—what kind of attitude was that?
Still, she did not argue. After all, from the way Ye Ling had once trained under Long Xingyu, it was clear his words were not false.
They did not continue the topic further. Ye Ling thought of something, turned to Li Xin, and said, "Sister Xin, according to what you said before, anyone who becomes a third-rank knight before the age of twenty qualifies to enter the Knight Sacred Mountain and find their own magical beast companion."
"I should already meet the requirement now, right?" Ye Ling asked.
"You certainly do. With your current strength and talent, you are already eligible to enter the Knight Sacred Mountain to find your beast companion. If you want to go now, wait for Uncle Nalan and Haochen to finish their matters, then ask him for a Sacred Mountain Token. Without it, the guardian knights won't let you in."
Li Xin explained carefully.
Hearing this, Ye Ling nodded. He had remembered the requirement correctly, and meeting it was enough.
He was curious about what kind of magical beast companion he might gain, and what level of existence his partner would be.
Moreover, the Knight Sacred Mountain was surely a place where sign-ins could occur. Once he entered, perhaps he could sign in to obtain an extremely powerful magical beast companion—perhaps even one at the level of a divine beast.
That would be truly exhilarating!
To know this, Long Haochen's future magical beast companion would be Haoyue, the God of Heavenly Retribution Austin Griffin, a terrifying existence that ordinary beings could never rival.
According to Ye Ling's calculations, within the Divine Seal World, no magical beast could compare with it. Not even the Demon God Emperor was qualified.
By such measure, only beings from beyond this world could compare.
If it were in the Douluo World, then even Ditian was not enough—he was inferior to the Demon God Emperor.
The Nine Dragon Kings might barely qualify, but it would still be a stretch. At the very least, it would require the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings, or even the Dragon God himself, to be on par with the God of Heavenly Retribution Austin Griffin.
Speaking of the Dragon God, Ye Ling was suddenly reminded.
The Golden Dragon King bloodline within his body had long gone without further development. Recently, with his rising strength, the bloodline had shown subtle changes. Although it had not caused trouble, Ye Ling faintly sensed a shift. It was best to hurry and continue breaking the seals.
After all, some time ago he had already made full preparations. Whether in materials or anything else, he had already entrusted Long Xingyu to help him gather all that was necessary.
Such resources should not go to waste.
Now that he had time to wait, this was the best opportunity.
Ye Ling also looked forward to what level of terrifying power he would reach after breaking the third and fourth seals of the Golden Dragon King.
Truly, something to anticipate.
With this in mind, after speaking a few words with Li Xin, he returned to his room, with Cai'er following closely behind.
At this moment, Cai'er obediently trailed him, unwilling to be arranged by Li Xin, and instead insisted on staying with him.
"Cai'er, no matter what happens in a while, do not panic. Everything is normal procedure," Ye Ling said helplessly, seeing her determination to follow.
Cai'er nodded. To her, being by Ye Ling's side was already enough.
She knew he was about to undertake something great. Naturally, she could not be a burden—just as when he faced the Wolf Demon God, she had already resolved herself.
Very soon, Ye Ling entered the bath chamber, filled a tub with water, and took out the heavenly treasures given to him by Long Xingyu. He melted them into liquid and poured them in. In an instant, the terrifying medicinal power boiled violently within.
"From my understanding, these heavenly treasures would be considered of ten-thousand-year grade on the Douluo Continent. With such a treasure, there is no need to add more. I can break through directly." Ye Ling murmured.
He then disrobed and immersed himself into the medicinal bath, closing his eyes and entering a state of comprehension.
At once, his spirit sank inward.
His consciousness entered his body.
There, a colossal golden dragon slumbered, bound by seven unique chains. As it sensed Ye Ling's presence, a violent aura burst forth from it.
It seemed to be complaining why Ye Ling had taken so long to remember him, only now coming to break the seals!
"Next, I will first tackle the third seal, then the fourth. With a ten-thousand-year heavenly treasure, if conditions permit, I may even attempt to break further," Ye Ling told himself.
Thinking of this, he could not help but feel some amusement. Tang Wulin, the protagonist of Douluo 3, had struggled with unimaginable hardship, nine deaths and one life, to succeed in such a breakthrough.
Yet for him, it was not nearly so difficult.
Perhaps this was the difference between a hard-working protagonist and one blessed with heaven-defying cheats.
