Friend from Afar

Yang Ling had just left when an elder in black walked into the villa through a ripple in thin air. His appearance was hazy, as if his body devoured any light that got too close.

"Teacher!" Maryse bowed respectfully when she saw the figure of the elder in black, even though she was clenching her teeth in fury.

"Maryse, you were wrong, you were utterly wrong!" Looking at the fuming Maryse, the elder in black gently shook his head. "I have told you before; the young lad Yang Ling is not simple. Even though he cannot use Battle Energy or Magical Energy, he has a strange power in his body. Your Temptation of Darkness might have won over countless other men, but it's counterproductive when used against him!"

Counterproductive?
