The Healer More Powerful Than A Warrior

Liang Liankang and Wu Ziqi, looking at the smiling young man in front of them holding two cups of milk tea, couldn't help but fall silent, their feelings becoming a bit complicated.

They had indeed underestimated Lin Ye.

After all, considering the time they spent guarding the public restroom here for over twenty days, they had been following Lin Ye for almost three months.

However, they never realized that Lin Ye had long since discovered their presence, and even knew their names.

Who was guarding whom had become uncertain.

Yet, upon learning the truth, the two felt much more at ease.

Because they now understood, it wasn't that they lost sight of the target they needed to protect, but rather, the target they were protecting had already gained the ability to shake them off!

In that case, even if they were to be punished, they were willing to accept it.

"Well, it seems that our task this time is over," Liang Liankang said with a somewhat self-deprecating smile.

Actually, even without this incident, given Lin Ye's current rate of progress, he would soon no longer need the protection of these 'shadows'.

With Lin Ye's current pace, he could complete the Second Transformation as early as in two to three months, or at the latest by the end of the year.

Once Lin Ye achieved the Second Transformation, neither Liang Liankang's nor Wu Ziqi's abilities would be considered sufficient to protect Lin Ye.

After all, as fellow Second-Turn Professionals, who could say who would be the stronger...

"Let's go!"

Liang Liankang smiled, took the milk tea offered by Lin Ye, and felt a sense of relief.

To be honest, protecting a genius like Lin Ye was indeed stressful.

After all, no one knew when a Demon might launch an attack.

Under such circumstances, they had to remain constantly vigilant and could not afford any carelessness.

Now that Lin Ye had the ability to evade their guardianship, there was no need for them to continue this task.

"See you later!" Lin Ye waved to the two.

They nodded slightly to Lin Ye and then turned and left.

Watching the two leave, Lin Ye was not too moved.

"The Alliance probably won't send any more shadows..." he thought to himself.

'Shadows' were a very special position within the Professional Alliance.

Ordinary people simply didn't know about the existence of this position within the Alliance, as they were far from qualified to interact with 'shadows'.

Only civilian professionals who showed enough potential would attract the Alliance's attention and thus receive the protection of 'shadows'.

To prevent them from being attacked by the minions of the Demon God before they could grow up.

Liang Liankang and Wu Ziqi were actually two of the 'shadows' protecting Lin Ye. At most, the number of 'shadows' protecting Lin Ye reached fifty!

They were responsible for staying around Lin Ye at all times, watching for any potential dangers around him.

But 'shadows' had extremely strict rules, one of which was not allowing the protected individual to know of their existence.

After all, no one wanted to live under constant surveillance, especially those exceptional, proud young people.

For them, being constantly monitored was something difficult to accept.

Once a 'shadow' exposed themselves, it undoubtedly represented two possibilities: one was a task failure, forcing them to reveal themselves.

The other, like now, was that the protected target discovered the existence of the 'shadow' on their own.

This signified that the 'shadows'' mission was complete.

Because when the protected target was capable of discovering their 'shadow', it meant they had grown enough to not require such constant, almost surveillance-like protection.

In fact, many strong individuals who had received 'shadow' protection in their youth would still respect the 'shadows' who once protected them, even after becoming significant powers of their own.

Previously, Lin Ye could ignore them, as long as these people didn't snoop into his privacy. Having them watch the surroundings was actually beneficial for him.

But now, Lin Ye had enough means to protect himself.

More importantly, his secrets were increasing, so having 'shadows' follow him constantly would greatly hinder his actions.

For example, Lin Ye was not too keen on having his identity as a Space Mage revealed.

So, he proactively took action to make the 'shadows' leave.

Taking this opportunity, Lin Ye boldly declared that he no longer needed the protection of 'shadows'.

In the raven's sight, both Liang Liankang and Wu Ziqi were already far away.

Only then did Lin Ye let out a light breath.

After using those three Relics found in the Mist Swamp, Lin Ye's level progressed rapidly, with his Healer profession jumping from Level 21 to Level 28!

As for the Space Mage, although slightly behind, it had also reached Level 26.

This level was still much higher than most of his peers.

And this was just Lin Ye's second profession.

Even though the experience value was divided, and since the Healer level was higher, it required more experience points to level up.

Over time, the levels gradually caught up with that of the Space Mage.

However, opportunities like encountering three Orange Level 30 Relics were rare.

As for going back to the ruins at the Shan City site to search for more Relics, it was no longer feasible.

Lin Ye had practically searched the area thoroughly, finding and using all the Relics he could.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to raise the levels of both professions to this extent in just a month.

The result was that that ruin would probably never yield another Relic.

After being out for nearly a month, Lin Ye picked up his phone and turned it on immediately.

There was no signal in the Wilderness, so turning it on was pointless, and Lin Ye's phone had been off.

Now, once turned on, it was bombarded with various messages.

This was very normal for professionals.

After all, sometimes entering a Secret Realm could take ten days to a month, and once the phone was turned on, it would be an information overload.

Lin Ye ignored the miscellaneous messages.

The latest messages, however, were left by Zhang Ruiqi from the Professional Center.

"Brother Lin Ye, if you're back, please let me know as soon as possible. Wei Tiangang has an urgent matter concerning the land you reclaimed."
