1786 You’re Too Good at Smiling!
Any intentions that arose at this age would likely follow them for the rest of their lives.
The Moon Empress had risen to prominence when she was 20 years old.
At that time, she had been so radiant that although she had rivals, no one dared to claim victory over her.
Although her character was extremely cold, she stole the hearts of many, including Long Lamplight.
One of the leaders of a Class 5 family from the Azure Federation had attended one of the Radiance Hundred Sequence selections and also ended up falling in love with the Moon Empress at first sight. He still had not wed. However, since he could not continue the family name, he gave up his position as the head of his family to his younger brother. He now remained on the sidelines to watch over his family.
This incident caused the Moon Empress to be forever frowned upon by the Azure Day Tiger family.
Although this was not the Moon Empress’ fault in any way, the previous head of the Azure Day Tiger family had done many embarrassing things while trying to court her. As a result, he had even received two beatings from Night Leaning Moon and Long Lamplight.
When Night Leaning Moon came to the man dressed in gold half armor’s mind, he bit his lip forcefully.
He could not understand the relationship between Night Leaning Moon and the Moon Empress. Alas, he could only set these questions aside because he dared not voice his curiosity.
At that moment, Lin Yuan reached out his hand and shook Xia Qing’s hand as he said with a smile, “Nice to meet you, Xia Qing. My name is Lin Yuan.”
When Lin Yuan smiled, two dimples appeared on his cheeks. Pearly teeth were sandwiched between ruby lips, and his other features shone as well,
Lin Yuan’s smile caused the half-armored man’s heart to skip a beat.
Oh my God! The Moon Empress’ disciple is too good at smiling! How is any young lady supposed to stand up to it?
Xia Qing was momentarily stunned when she saw Lin Yuan’s smile. But before she could speak, Gao Feng patted Lin Yuan’s shoulder and said, “Brother Lin, you’re so strong! If not for you, we would definitely have lost the battle!”
Gao Feng was straightforward and was still riding on an adrenaline rush from their victory.
Thus, he had not thought about Liu Yifan before he spoke. It was as though the third Radiance Envoy had been useless.
It was true that Liu Yifan’s performance had not been outstanding during the battle. But if not for the Peach Prosper Jay, Yin-Yang Double Instrument Cow, Four-Animal Eight-Trigram Deer, and Gem Witch, they would have lost long ago even if the Insect Queen had fused with the Emperor Core of All Insects. They would not have had time to wait for Liu Yifan to break out of his stalemate with the Disaster World Faceless Beast to take control of the fight.
Defense-type spirit qi professionals were never eye-catching and had even less presence in a team than pure support-type spirit qi professionals did.
In the past, An He would have been ticked off when he heard this because of how protective he felt over his senior brother.
But now, he did not feel this way because he had watched the fight from the start to the end.
Gao Feng had spoken the truth and had no intention of insulting anyone.
Although An He, Liu Jie, Gao Feng, Gu Lang, Zong Ze, and Lin Yuan had held a meeting before the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection and had even told each other about their feys and sacred source lifeforms’ abilities, they had not had enough time to summon their feys to demonstrate their abilities and exclusive skills.
As such, Lin Yuan’s feys came as a surprise to all of them.
Previously, An He had never believed that there could be a comprehensive spirit qi professional in the world.
There were four major categories of spirit qi professionals, power offense, defense, healing, and support. Every spirit qi professional belonged to one of these categories so they would be able to fit themselves into a team.
There were spirit qi professionals who could belong to two categories, but this meant that they would not be as strong as a spirit qi professional who specialized in one. After all, a person’s spiritual energy and the number of feys they could contract were limited.
However, Lin Yuan had completely transformed An He’s perspective.
From An He’s previous experience with Lin Yuan, the latter had only shown his abilities as a power offense-type spirit qi professional.
When An He found out that Lin Yuan was Black, his first instinct was to say that it was ludicrous. This was because Black was a healing-type spirit qi professional.
But in this battle, Black had recovered his teammates’ spiritual power, and the Source Sand had helped the team to defend against the attacks and provided cover for the insect tide. The strange appearance of the healing-type fey had saved Liu Jie’s life and healed the Yellow Spring Lily.
In terms of attack, besides the attack from Zong Ze that broke the three-way link, the Insect Queen had mostly only helped in terms of containment.
Thus, the attacks that secured their victory had all come from Lin Yuan.
Up till now, An He had always been haughty. It was extremely difficult for him to feel admiration for someone.
Even when Lin Yuan gave him a large amount of Creation Master resources that enabled him to evolve the Sudden Hibernating Wetland Dragons’ bloodline, An He only added gratitude to the friendship he felt toward Lin Yuan.
But after the battle, An He well and truly admired Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan anxiously waved his hands when he heard what Gao Feng said and replied, “We won this battle thanks to everyone’s effort! If the rest of you didn’t protect me at the start, I would have been killed by the opponent long ago.”
Lin Yuan was not trying to be humble but was stating facts.
All five members of the team had done everything that they could.
Even now, Lin Yuan felt that the Disaster World Faceless Beast was exceptionally strong.
Lin Yuan felt that his soul power, spiritual energy, and mind were stronger than that of his peers. But when he was under attack by the Disaster World Faceless Beast, he had to continuously use Calm Mind to protect his mind.
If Yan Ling, Cai Huo, You Changjian, or Qian Yu had been able to get close to him, they would have been able to attack and kill him.
This battle had allowed Lin Yuan to gain a deep understanding of his own power.
When Qian Yu died, Lu Ou had been forced to summon Na Na. This meant that both of them had used up all their secret weapons.
However, the same could not be said for Lin Yuan.
Besides those untouchable secret weapons, he still had two unused Sword Skills as well as the Sacred Sword’s second ability.
The Sacred Sword’s second ability was truly Lin Yuan’s strongest secret weapon.
