Chapter 386 Xiao Ling's Fiery Temper

At sunrise, the walls of the Dawn Fortress are gently enveloped in a warm golden glow, as if it were a blessing bestowed by the sun god himself, draping the Dawn Fortress in a glorious battle robe.

The golden sunlight shone brightly against the silvery walls, lending the fortress an air of solemnity and sanctity. Warriors stood atop the walls, facing the rising sun, their gazes resolute. Dawn Fortress was not only their home, but also the faith and glory they swore to defend to the death. In this radiant morning, Dawn Fortress seemed to breathe new life, ready to meet the challenges and triumphs of a new day.

Xiao Ling was sweating profusely on the training ground. The "Evolutionary Technique" was circulating within his body, and the Starfall Dragon Pattern Sword in his hand was incredibly sharp. Every time Xiao Ling channeled his spiritual power to swing it, starlight gathered at the tip of the sword, like a meteor streaking across the sky, leaving behind a series of dazzling trails. Inlaid on the hilt was a starstone that emitted a faint glow, capable of changing with Xiao Ling's will, providing him with an inexhaustible source of power and inspiration.

"Brother Ling, are you here at Dawn Stronghold for training today?" The speaker was all muscle, carrying a dark warhammer, and his voice was loud and full of energy.

This person is named Lei Ruichen. His grandfather was Lei Zhenyue, one of the seventy-two Qilin sons. He was a comrade-in-arms and brother of Yun Youzi and Xiao Zhi.

"Space Madman sent his disciple here for training. He wants to earn military merits, but he doesn't know where there are battles, so I sent him to Dawn Fortress last night." Xiao Ling stopped practicing his sword and chatted with his good brother Lei Ruichen.

"Space Madman? My idol is here! Where is he?" Lei Ruichen immediately got excited. Like Xiao Ling, he grew up listening to the stories of Yun Youzi and had long regarded Yun Youzi as his idol.

“He was drinking with his grandfathers in Mouta last night, and he should still be there today.” Xiao Lingqiang sheathed his Starfall Dragon Pattern Sword and continued, “His apprentice is named Zheng Qian. Yesterday, he was shouting that he wanted to block the gates of the demon race to earn military merits to exchange for spirit crystals. It’s his first time here, and he doesn’t know how dangerous the battles are. I was thinking that since you’re here, I’m planning to arrange for him to join your team today so he can get some experience. Please take good care of him and make sure he doesn’t die in his first battle.”

Despite her displeasure, Xiao Ling still remembered her idol Yun Youzi and wanted to protect Zheng Qian as much as possible.

"Make money?" Lei Ruichen was full of curiosity about this name. No wonder it was about earning military merits to exchange for spirit crystals. It really was a name that fit the idea of ​​making money.

"I'll go register him first and get his medal. Do you want to come?"

Lei Ruichen nodded in agreement: "Sure, I haven't seen you in a long time, of course we'll go together. By the way, it was my turn to patrol last night, and I found someone practicing swordsmanship on the hilltop at four o'clock this morning. He hasn't stopped until just now, he's really too diligent."

“If you don’t sweat while cultivating, you’ll bleed on the battlefield. Diligence is the key. But getting up at four in the morning to cultivate is indeed diligent. If we have the chance, we should get to know him. If his character and combat strength are fine, we can bring him into our team.” Xiao Ling cherishes geniuses, unlike Zheng Qian. He just got up and saw the sign on the doorknob that someone was there, so he knew Zheng Qian was still sleeping in.

The two went to the Hall of Glory and Merit to register Zheng Qian's information, and then returned to their residence to find Zheng Qian.

Seeing the human symbol on the doorknob, Xiao Ling and Lei Ruichen both frowned. There couldn't be any lazybones here, otherwise they would pay with their lives on the battlefield.

With a sigh, Xiao Ling walked downstairs; he had no heart to wake Zheng Qian.

Lei Ruichen glanced at Xiao Ling's back. As his brother, even if Xiao Ling didn't call out, he would. After all, Xiao Ling had told him to take care of Zheng Qian. He couldn't let him die right there on the battlefield; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to explain it to his idol, Kuang Diao from the Space.

bang bang bang...

"Get lost, don't disturb my sleep."

Angry curses came from the room. Lei Ruichen's face darkened, and he turned and left.

“Brother Ling, Zheng Qian is ungrateful. I knocked on the door and he told me not to disturb his sleep. Let’s just forget about it. This kind of person doesn’t deserve to be my teammate. Whether he lives or dies is none of our business.” Lei Ruichen said as he walked to Xiao Ling’s side. He felt that Zheng Qian was not worthy of being his teammate.

Xiao Ling was also helpless. The Ice Heart Jade that Yun Youzi gave him was really precious. He decided to teach Zheng Qian a lesson. This was a place of life and death trials, not a peaceful border for gilding.

"Your actions have insulted the Ghostly Rift Valley, the heroic spirits of our ancestors, and every hero who has shed blood and sweat for us. Today, I will wake you up, you gilded young master, on behalf of Grandpa Yun. It's better to hate me than to die here." Xiao Ling's temper flared up. Zheng Qian had been shouting about earning military merits, but instead he was fast asleep here, wasting his time. This beating was well-deserved for Zheng Qian.

bang...

Xiao Ling kicked the door open and saw Zheng Qian on the bed with his head covered by the blanket, fast asleep. She felt even more annoyed.

I'm getting you a military merit badge and registering your information, and you're just sleeping in here? What gives you the right?

Xiao Ling showed no mercy and punched the person on the bed in the head before the person could react.

Liu Jian, who was on duty at four in the morning, saw that the room was empty and fell asleep immediately. Hearing the noise, he got up, and before he could even put the blanket off, he was punched in the eye and heard someone cursing.

"If you're lazy, then get lost."

"Holy shit, you..."

"What do you mean, 'you'? If you're not going to train hard, then get out. This isn't a place to gild your resume."

Xiao Ling grew angrier the more she thought about it, and became more and more addicted to hitting him. Before Liu Jian on the bed could even say anything, he was pinned down and brutally beaten.

"Help! Someone's hitting me!" Liu Jian resisted, but with only the Bone Shaping Realm, it was all in vain for him against Xiao Ling, who was at the Liquid Aperture Realm.

"Help? There's no chance to cry for help on the battlefield." Xiao Ling slapped the person in the blanket, knocking them unconscious, before he stopped.

"I'm just giving you a little lesson today. If you don't want to die, get out of here. We can't tolerate lazy people like you here." Xiao Ling stood up and beat Zheng Qian up. He felt much better after that.

Liu Jian, covered by the blanket, fainted. He remained motionless, while Xiao Ling sneered.

"Stop pretending to be dead, get up. I'll take you to find Grandpa Yun. You don't belong here."

The person was still covered by the blanket and didn't move, which made Xiao Ling even more annoyed, so she yanked the blanket off.

"Get up, you..."

Xiao Ling was dumbfounded. The person on the bed was not Zheng Qian, but someone he had never seen before.

Oops, I dialed the wrong person.

"Sorry, brother." Xiao Ling's lips twitched. He took out two low-grade spirit crystals, placed them on the bedside table, left the room, and closed the door.

"Brother Ling..." Lei Ruichen asked curiously when he saw Xiao Ling come out with a gloomy face.

"Don't talk, let's go." Xiao Ling turned and left with Lei Ruichen, leaving behind two low-grade spirit crystals as a cleanup measure, so that no one would know that he had hit someone.

If the news that the grandson of the leader of the Strategic Alliance assaulted someone at Dawn Fortress gets out, the impact will be enormous.

Just then, Zheng Qian returned.

"Xiao Ling, you're up?"

Xiao Ling laughed and put his arm around Zheng Qian as they walked away: "Good morning, the weather is nice today, I'll treat you to breakfast."

Lei Ruichen stared at Zheng Qian, speechless with astonishment, and exclaimed, "You're the one practicing swordsmanship on the mountaintop at four in the morning?"

Zheng Qian was a little embarrassed: "I'm used to getting up early, and I feel uncomfortable if I don't move around. I hope I didn't disturb you?"
