Powerful forces like the Thunder Clan and Dark Family are now pursuing Lin Dong. Meanwhile, Lin Dong invites Ye Linglong to hunt demon beasts to prepare for the Five Elements Stele, and then retreats to refine a Space Transfer Divine Talisman using rare materials and his newfound understanding of the Space Dao, successfully creating the life-saving artifact.

Lin Dong tucked away the newly created 'Space Transfer Talisman,' only to discover that two full days had vanished.

"Two days have actually passed," Lin Dong remarked, a touch of disbelief in his voice, as the time felt no longer than a mere blink.

It appeared that not only was the passage of time elusive during cultivation, but refining medicines or talismans also seemed to warp one's perception of time.

The moment he stepped out, the protective formation surrounding the area ceased its operation.

Outside, Ye Linglong stood ready, her presence signaling her preparedness to depart.

"Are you all set?" Lin Dong inquired, looking towards her.

"Yes, everything is in order. We can depart whenever you wish," she responded.

Lin Dong gave a nod, "First, let's bid farewell to the Heavenly Envoy."

Following this, Lin Dong, accompanied by Ye Linglong, located Dugu Tian, the Heavenly Envoy.

Dugu Tian chuckled heartily, "Then allow me to preemptively wish War God Lin the triumph of securing the top position on the Five Elements Stele!"

He then turned his gaze to Ye Linglong and added with a smile, "General Ye, your exceptional honor and formidable strength for this undertaking have been duly reported to the headquarters."

"It has been decided to officially appoint you as the next War God. You may devise your own War God codename and submit it to the headquarters."

"Upon receiving it, the headquarters will formally issue your letter of appointment and make a grand announcement to the entire military force!"

Ye Linglong’s heart swelled with joy upon hearing this news. She had never imagined she would attain the prestigious title of War God.

War God!

This was the very aspiration she had harbored for so long, considering it her ultimate life's ambition.

When she first left Jianghai, she had believed that becoming a Female War God within her lifetime would represent the zenith of her achievements.

Who could have foreseen that, at just over twenty years of age, she would achieve such a remarkable feat so early in her career.

Looking ahead, she realized her potential extended far beyond the rank of War God; she could conceivably rise to the position of Heavenly Envoy, even harboring aspirations to achieve the same level of accomplishment as the revered Five Elders.

Ye Linglong glanced at Lin Dong, fully understanding that her current trajectory was entirely due to the man standing beside her.

Without his guidance, she doubted she would have reached the Earth Realm at such a tender age or even been considered for the promotion to War God.

"War God Lin, would you do me the honor of selecting a codename for me?" Ye Linglong humbly entrusted Lin Dong with the significant responsibility of choosing her War God codename.

This gesture clearly underscored the profound depth of her trust in him.

Lin Dong replied with a gentle smile, "I believe the name 'Linglong War God' sounds exceptionally fitting. Simply using your name is already perfect in its own right."

Ye Linglong's face brightened with a smile upon hearing his suggestion, and she nodded in agreement, "Very well, from this moment forward, my War God codename shall be Linglong War God."

"Excellent! I shall then report 'Linglong War God' to the authorities. Within three days, the headquarters should formally confirm your promotion to War God. They will also dispatch the Divine Order of War and the official War God Letter to us."

"It is anticipated that these documents will reach my possession in approximately ten days."

"Once you and War God Lin have concluded your training, we will host a grand War God Banquet in your honor!"

"Thank you kindly, Heavenly Envoy, sir," Ye Linglong expressed her deep gratitude with a respectful bow.

Dugu Tian, the Heavenly Envoy, let out a warm laugh, "There is no need for such formalities, Linglong War God. Perhaps in the future, the position of Heavenly Envoy might also be within your grasp."

"I have faith in you."

This statement of faith was directed not so much at Ye Linglong herself, but rather at Lin Dong.

It stood to reason that with Lin Dong's presence, her cultivation speed could only accelerate dramatically.

Lin Dong possessed an astonishing breadth of skills, encompassing both medicine and talismans; consequently, it was predictable that Ye Linglong's progress would be swift and significant under his tutelage.

Subsequently, Lin Dong and Ye Linglong took their leave of Dugu Tian and commenced their training expedition.

At present, Ye Linglong stood as an Earth Realm martial artist, possessing the combat prowess equivalent to a Second Stage Grandmaster.

This level of strength was undeniably modest when compared to Lin Dong's capabilities.

However, when measured against her contemporaries, with the exception of those hailing from the formidable Hidden Clans and the ancient Western Clans, she was already considered exceptionally outstanding.

Hailing from a humble town like Jianghai, with a family lineage that was merely that of ordinary mortals, Ye Linglong's accomplishments thus far were truly remarkable.

Had she been fortunate enough to be born within a Hidden Clan, benefiting from their abundant resources, she might very well have attained the Heavenly Realm by now.

Demonstrating that even with identical innate talent, the disparity in resources plays a crucial role. Indulging in plentiful resources from a young age versus relying solely on personal struggle inevitably leads to vastly different outcomes after twenty years.

The adage holds true: literary pursuits are often accessible to the less fortunate, while martial arts demand and consume significant resources.

"War God Lin, do we have a specific destination or objective for this training journey?" Ye Linglong inquired.

Lin Dong responded with a shake of his head, "No, not specifically. Why don't you suggest a route? Primarily, consider your unique constitution; if I recall correctly, you possess a Dual Element Constitution of Fire and Wood, is that not so?"

Ye Linglong let out a laugh, correcting him, "Actually, I possess a Three-System Constitution; in addition to fire and wood, I also have an affinity for the Water Element."

"Comprising Water, Fire, and Wood, possessing three elemental systems is truly exceptional. To have a Three-System Constitution on the Extraterrestrial Battlefield is already as rare as finding phoenix feathers and unicorn horns; few have ever appeared throughout the battlefield's history," Lin Dong remarked with approval.

A wave of immense pleasure washed over Ye Linglong upon receiving Lin Dong’s praise.

Following this, she commenced the route planning.

"War God Lin, our journey will begin in the Green Wood Forest, proceed to the Azure Water Abyss, then traverse the Red Flame Northern Desert, and finally, arrive at the Five Elements Stele!"

"This mission designates the Five Elements Stele as our ultimate objective, does that arrangement suit you? If you secure the top position on the Five Elements Stele ranking, it would be opportune for you to claim the dual rewards it bestows."

Hearing this, Lin Dong expressed his profound satisfaction, stating, "Linglong, your proposed plan is superb."

"Do I appear to be your capable partner?" Ye Linglong playfully winked, teasing Lin Dong.

Lin Dong responded with a jest, "Indeed, you do."

"Simply appearing as one is not enough for my contentment. Only by truly becoming one will I be satisfied..." Ye Linglong blinked.

Lin Dong countered with a playful remark, "I observe numerous trees in our vicinity, quite suitable for, you know... what do you think?"

Upon hearing his suggestion, Ye Linglong conceded, admitting defeat. While she was bold and forthright, unafraid to express her love and hate, she hesitated to take such intimate steps with Lin Dong, especially in an outdoor setting.

"Pfft, Lin Dong, you truly remain unchanged. I had assumed you would forsake carnal desires after ascending to the Heavenly Realm of martial arts..."

"To actually desire us engaging in such activities out here in the wilderness? Keep dreaming."

With that, she quickly moved ahead, almost as if making a hasty retreat.

Lin Dong touched his nose and called out from behind, "Linglong, perhaps you've misunderstood? I was suggesting that with this dense greenery, it's an ideal spot for demon beasts to make their nests, perfectly suited for hunting them."

Ye Linglong, who was already walking ahead, froze in her tracks. She suddenly realized she had been skillfully 'played' by Lin Dong.

Flustered with embarrassment and a touch of annoyance, she abruptly turned around and shoved Lin Dong against a nearby tree.

Then, she planted a kiss upon his lips.

Only after a considerable duration did they break apart. She gazed at him with a smug expression, questioning, "I misinterpreted, so what? Hmm?"

For Lin Dong, a venerable Heavenly Realm martial artist, to find himself pinned against a tree by an Earth Realm martial artist caught him completely by surprise.

Humiliation!

This was undeniably a moment of profound disgrace.

He was far from satisfied.

A Heavenly Realm practitioner should not be overpowered by an Earth Realm opponent!

As a man, he certainly shouldn't be subdued by a woman!

Consequently, he swiftly reversed their positions, pinning Ye Linglong beneath him, her back pressed against the tree once more.

"Woman, you have ignited a fiery passion within me... can you withstand the 'fury' of a Heavenly Realm martial artist?"
