After swallowing the Crystal Marrow, Sophia closed herself up behind closed doors to train and ignored whatever was going on outside, hoping to reach the level of Chief Moon Priestess in one shot. To prevent the Church fellows from taking advantage of the opportunity and attacking, Yang Ling personally set up camp in the courtyard outside of where she was staying, laying out the Great Wizard Altar and trained in peace and quiet. He asked his close guard, Orlando, to give the command that he was not to be disturbed unless there was something of great importance.
If Sophia was unable to level up this time around, should he continue waiting, or should he just do her quickly and be done with it?
Thinking about the Elven beauty’s soft and limber slim waist, the buds that were waiting to bloom, and the firm and bouncy skin, Yang Ling was moved. His fingers were pinching a mysterious Wizard Seal, yet his mind was all over the place, and he was unable to quiet his mind down, no matter what.
Compared to Yuna, the cheeky Sophia was more daring and open, often performing moves that made him unable to stop. Just by using her small hands and wet and hot mouth, she was able to give him high after high. Yang Ling was greatly looking forward to the day he could break through her hymen and wondered what thrills and excitement the cheeky Elven beauty Sophia would bring him.
Sophia was extremely clever. Just by explaining it to her once, she was able to learn many techniques, and could even infer more from just one technique. Her agile tongue could drive one mad. But, according to the laws of the Forest Elves, she could not lose her virginity before she broke through to the level of Chief Moon Priestess. So, she had steadfastly refused Yang Ling to break through her last line of defense.
Back then, he could only see but not touch. Now, he could touch her but not eat her up. Time after time driving Yang Ling crazy with her teasing!
For the sake of his future sex life happiness, Yang Ling recalled in detail the Wizard Spells on the Stele, to see if there were any other methods, apart from the Crystal Marrow, to increase the speed of Sophia’s training. Unfortunately, after wasting a lot of time, he did not manage to find anything.
There were a great number of Wizard Spells recorded on the Stele. It was not that there were not any methods to forcefully increase one’s power, but they either involved forcing large amounts of Wizard Power into one’s body or borrowing the power of Heaven and Earth to regrow one’s veins and marrow forcefully. Not only were both options bloody and violent, but they were also fraught with perils. Back when he helped his disciple Ramos forcefully improve his foundation, the latter was in so much agony it felt like death. Thankfully he had strong willpower and survived it while gritting his teeth. Yang Ling naturally would not want Sophia to suffer all that pain before finding a better solution.
After leveling to Soul Wizard, he would then be able to enter the fifth level of the Wizard Pagoda. He wondered if there were any better methods recorded on the Stele on that level!
Yang Ling could only pin his hopes on the Stele on the fifth level of the Wizard’s Pagoda, as he could not find a safe and reliable method of greatly increasing one’s power. The Wizard’s Pagoda was the source of his power. Even though he might not know what Wizard Mantra that was recorded in the later stages, he was sure that it would definitely allow him to improve in leaps and bounds. When he had fully understood the Wizard Spells in all seven levels of the Wizard’s Pagoda, he might just be able to fully control the Wizard Pagoda’s Space and become a great and powerful Wizard.
A powerful Wizard Spell could even resurrect a person who had been dead for years. So he did not believe that after leveling up to become a Soul Wizard, he would not even be able find a safer way to help someone replace his veins and marrow!
After leveling to become a Soul Wizard, by then, he definitely would not be far from breaking through to become a Wizard Deity!
Looking at the bright night sky, and feeling the Astral Energy that was everywhere, Yang Ling clenched his fists. Taking a deep breath, he calmed down and trained in peace and quiet. Quietly chanting Wizard Mantras on the empty Altar, he consciously changed one mysterious hand signal after another.
After some time had passed, Yang Ling suddenly felt clouds of pure Life Force suffusing the air and getting thicker and thicker. It seeped into his body like a wave, quickly becoming Wizard Power. Compared to the Life Force, he absorbed by using the Psychic Mantra, this Life Force was, in comparison, much more pure and natural.
What exactly was going on?
Opening his eyes and looking at the green-colored Life Force growing thicker and thicker under the moonlight, Yang Ling was full of puzzlement. Spreading his immense Divine Knowledge out like a spider web, he very quickly discovered that the huge amounts of pure Life Force were wafting in from the direction of the Amazon Forest.
Could it be that there was someone else on the continent that was able to use the mysterious Psychic Spell?
Relying on the Restriction that encompassed the whole of Jaboli city, and his powerful Divine Knowledge, Yang Ling carefully explored in detail. Unfortunately, he did not find anything abnormal even after searching for a long time. Even when he spread his Divine Knowledge as far out to the edge of the Amazon Forest and by the sea, he still could not find anything suspicious.
The green-colored Life Force was getting thicker and thicker, slowly coalescing over the Main Residence, forming into a large mass of green fog that did not dissipate, and nourishing the plants within the Main Residence. Yang Ling grew more and more puzzled.
Could it be that Sophia had leveled up to Chief Moon Priestess?
After failing to find anything abnormal after a long time of searching, Yang Ling had a sudden thought. He had focused his search outside of the Main Residence, but now that he had seen the Life Force gathering over the Main Residence, he quickly guessed at a possibility. After spreading his immense Divine Knowledge to where Sophia was, he found an anomaly, as expected.
He saw Sophia laying prostrate on the ground, palms together devoutly. Her whole body was shrouded in a cloud of green fog, emitting wave after wave of natural and peaceful energy pulses. His own powerful Divine Knowledge was unable to penetrate the fog as if he had encountered an invisible layer of Magical Barrier.
The Life Force gathered over the Main Residence grew thicker and thicker, slowly spreading and enveloping the entire Jaboli city. After waking up from their sleep in shock, people were astonished to discover that the scars on their bodies were slowly peeling off, recovering to its former state, bit by bit. Excited, they rushed out of their homes in bewilderment, talking loudly with their neighbors.
“Heavens, even the scar from over 20 years ago, is gone. I dare say that this is God’s miracle!” A middle-aged man, who was nicknamed ‘Scarface,’ shouted loudly in delight. The scar on his face had previously brought him much discrimination. Over the past 20 years, he had tried all methods to get rid of it. He did not expect that it would automatically recover by itself on this night.
“Hmph, where can you find so many miracles of God? When we were bitten by the Magical Beasts, why didn’t God appear to bless us? When we were slaughtered by the crazy pirates, why didn’t we see God appear to stop them?” Looking at the overjoyed Scarface, a young man who had just joined the Hunter’s Association not long ago loudly rebutted. He then paused and continued, “This miraculous green fog is coming from the Main Residence, where His Lordship is staying. It is possible that it is an effect of a top-level Spell that His Lordship is casting. If you must say that this is a miracle, then this a miraculous act by His Lordship, which has nothing to do with the Church!”
“You’re right. This is a blessing bestowed to us by His Lordship, it’s a miraculous act by His Lordship!”
…
Looking at the thick green fog hanging over the Main Residence, the people discussed widely among themselves. Some of them even prostrated respectfully on the ground. Ever since Yang Ling had come, everyone could see the changes in Jaboli. There were no more pirates, the threats coming from the Amazon Forest had entirely disappeared, and the previously small village had become an immense city, attracting the big Merchant Associations to swarm in… No matter their status, every single one of them had gained unimaginable benefits.
Traveling a thousand miles alone, fighting his way out of various ambushes, fighting till his enemies dropped their weapons and armor and fled, fighting the Pharaoh King bare-fisted, completely destroying the mortal enemy of Jaboli city…
After barely escaping with their lives and returning to Jaboli city, the Troops and adventurers described how powerful Yang Ling was by greatly exaggerating. One spread it to ten, then to a hundred. Slowly, the more it spread, the more godlike Yang Ling was portrayed. After being embellished by the traveling poets, it became even more like a story of a hero.
Even lies, when repeated multiple times, could become the truth, even more so when people spoke so convincingly!
Slowly, in people’s minds, Yang Ling was no longer just a simple Lord. From another perspective, he had become the Domain’s guardian deity, a guardian deity who brought peace and joy to its people! It had become every young person’s dream to become a close guard or follower of Yang Ling. And everywhere, there were young women who were envious of Alice!
“Brother Yang, I did it. I finally succeeded!” After testing her skills and confirming that she had indeed successfully leveled up to become a Chief Moon Priestess, Sophia excitedly leaped into Yang Ling’s arms.
“Sophia, this green fog came out of nowhere, I have a feeling that it’s not that simple!” After kissing the Elven beauty’s forehead, Yang Ling pretended to be extremely worried, looking grave. He then slowly said, “Just in case, we need to carefully look at the condition of various parts of your body. Here, let me carefully inspect them for you!”
After successfully leveling up, Sophia was exhilarated, but Yang Ling was even more excited than she was!
After leveling up to Chief Moon Priestess, Sophia no longer needed to guard her last line of defense firmly. In other words, he could be on cloud nine with her anytime! After suffering such a long wait, he already could not wait to get a taste of what it felt like to join their souls and bodies together with the Elven beauty!
“Yang Ling, you’re so bad, you’re the worst!” Feeling Yang Ling’s erection and passion down below, Sophia naturally understood what he meant by inspecting her. But, even though she was beet red from embarrassment, she did not put up a fight, letting Yang Ling remove her clothes without much struggle.
Maybe she was nervous, or maybe she was afraid of her first time, but Sophia lightly gritted her pearl-white teeth. Her beautiful face was beet red, and her big, bright eyes were like water, mysterious and misty. Subconsciously, she closed her legs tightly, her hand clenching tightly at the soft cotton blanket covering her lower body, laying in front of Yang Ling like a lamb.
“Brother Yang… I… No, maybe next time…” After her legs were parted by Yang Ling, Sophia became even more nervous.
“Sophia, don’t be afraid!” Seeing that Sophia, who had yet to taste the forbidden fruit, was overly nervous, Yang Ling hugged her in his arms, lightly stroking her messy long hair. While talking about how the two of them used to travel within the forest, he lightly stroked her firm and bouncy skin and kissed her fair and sexy neck…
Slowly, as the Elven beauty relaxed, her body became hotter and more pliable. Seeing that the time was ripe, Yang Ling parted her legs and gently pressed in…
