It may sound a bit arrogant, but in fact Yin Ruier is aware of his strong potential.
When he was still studying with Velen, the spiritual leader who had led the Draini for tens of thousands of years expressed his expectations for Yin Ruil more than once.
Wei Lun didn't want Yin Ruil to be blindly arrogant and didn't say it out loud, but anyone with some discernment could see that the prophet trained Yin Ruil as his successor.
However, God did not follow his wishes. Due to an accidental disability during the war, young Yin Ruil failed to grow to the height expected by Velen, and fell to the ground early before he could spread his wings and fly to the highest point.
In his tens of thousands of years of escaping, Velen has seen too many cases of geniuses falling, but this time it still made him feel very sad.
However, as a prophet who shoulders the burden of the entire race and the spiritual leader of the entire race, Velen cannot stop because one person falls behind. He can only pick up his mood and continue to lead his people forward.
The Draenei were introduced to Azeroth by Sarlayan himself. Although he met and talked with Velen only a few times, Sarlayan could tell that this wise and kind old man was a truly respected person. His character is absolutely trustworthy.
After experiencing the greenskin craze that swept Draenor, the Draenei, who had already settled in the new world and initially saw hope of revival, suffered heavy losses again.
The highest governing body, the Council of Bishops, fell apart, and a large number of innocent tribesmen were captured by the orcs and used as biological batteries to recharge the Dark Portal.
The Draini who survived by chance also hid in a hurry. Until the Alliance expeditionary force counterattacked Draenor, the Draini could not see at all under the continued oppression of the orcs... and the remote-controlled Burning Legion hiding behind them. To raise hope.
After finally moving to Azeroth, which is protected by a planetary barrier and is relatively stable, the Draini can finally rest and recuperate in peace.
However, many problems plaguing Velen have still not been resolved, and the first one to bear the brunt is the training of heirs.
Velen is already tens of thousands of years old, which is long enough even for a demigod with infinite lifespan.
Because he is beyond the mortal life form, Velen will continue to survive in the foreseeable future. However, after leading his people to run around for thousands of years, Velen's body and mind have long been exhausted.
Ever since Guinedal fell to Draenor, Velen has lost the ability to foresee for unknown reasons.
This is like a person who is used to seeing the world with open eyes suddenly going blind. For a long time, the suddenly "blind" prophet was at a loss what to do and could only adopt cautious and conservative strategies as much as possible.
Unfortunately, for the orcs who worship the strong and despise the weak, Velen's "cowardly" attitude happens to be what they look down upon the most.
Because they showed weakness to the enemy and lost the opportunity, despite having more advanced technology and weapons and equipment, the Draenei were actually taken away by a wave of greenskin frenzy, and they were almost completely wiped out on the remote planet of Draenor.
This major decision-making mistake left an indelible shadow in Velen's heart. He began to wonder whether his traditional governance style was no longer suitable for today's era and the current Draini people.
Therefore, Velen is eager to find a young and energetic successor.
Of course, he considered Yin Ruil, whom he had been extremely optimistic about.
However, ever since Yin Ruil's right leg became disabled, the child has fallen into a troublesome cycle.
She became obsessed with fighting with injuries, ignoring those things that she needed to master as a racial leader.
Wei Lun "exiled" Yin Ruil to Falanlon, not only to let her rest in peace and recuperate, but also to hope that she could figure out what she really needs to learn in a peaceful life, and no longer be limited to temporary gains and losses. .
Unfortunately, the young and stubborn Yin Ruier failed to understand Wei Lun's good intentions.
Over the years, Yin Ruier's personal strength has continued to grow steadily through hard work, but her iron-clad thinking pattern has never been able to turn around.
In this competition challenge series designed by Sarlayan, the smug Yin Ruier originally thought that he could fight to the end, or at least force Sarlayan to take action himself.
However, the cruel reality dealt her a heavy blow.
Yin Riel couldn't even pass the second level guarded by Valeela, who was also just a mortal, let alone the blue dragon, black dragon and Sharlayan who were extraordinary species.
After working hard for more than ten years, he received this kind of blow. After the defeat, Yin Ruil was obviously in a very low mood.
However, this is exactly what Sarlayan wants to see.
If this iron-headed kid is not taught a lesson, she may still be obsessed with improving her personal strength.
After the villagers of Farallon who came out to watch the excitement dispersed, Sarlayan signaled to Valeera and others with his eyes.
Stellagosa consciously took her sister from Sharlayan's shoulders, and left the village square with Valeera, Jaina, and Onyxia.
Yin Ruil was still lowering his head and frowning at this moment, as if he was reviewing the previous battle, trying to find out the reason for his defeat.
"Come back to your senses, Iron-headed boy."
Sarlayan raised his fingers and tapped Yin Ruil's blue horns angrily: "Why are you so obsessed with winning a one-on-one battle? Your dream is to be an invincible vanguard general?"
"Uh~"
Yin Ruil was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then hurriedly shook his head and denied: "Of course not, I want to be the light that illuminates the path forward for Delani, just like... Teacher Velen."
"So?" Sarlayan asked with a half-smile: "Even if you can train to defeat all the invincible opponents in the world, are you sure you can achieve your dream?"
"The light that illuminates the progress of the people. If I understand correctly, you want to become the spiritual leader of the Draini like your teacher Velen, right?"
Sarlayan's expression became serious: "Yin Ruil, think it through first before answering my question."
"As a spiritual leader, is personal combat effectiveness the most important?"
"As the strongest Draini, will Velen often rush to the front line to show off his powerful combat power as a senior demigod?"
Yin Ruil's face became a little complicated, and she seemed to be recalling certain scenes in the past.
"No, of course not. The teacher spends most of his time sitting in the rear strategizing, but it is precisely because of this that we are in the war with the orcs..."
"wrong!"
Sarlayan sternly interrupted Yin Riel's defense: "The Draini's defeat to the orcs was not because Velen did not rush to the front line to boost the morale of the entire army!"
"Except for some objective reasons behind it, the defeat was purely due to Velen's decision-making error and had nothing to do with his personal strength!"
Seeing the confusion and escape in Yin Ruil's eyes, Sarlayan sighed softly and waved his hand to the tall girl to sit down.
...There is no way, Yin Ruier is too tall. In the same standing position, Sarlayan has to stand on tiptoe if he wants to pat her on the shoulder. This will look a bit funny and break the original serious atmosphere.
After Yin Ruil sat on the roadside calmly, Sarlayan patted her shoulder and said sincerely: "Remember what Velen said to you after you were injured."
"Do you really think that Velen just wants to train you to be a powerful battlefield general?"
"Archbishop Akama has indeed left, but there is Maraad who can replace him. Ranger Archbishop Nellie has also returned from injury. Archbishop Maradar is still old and strong, and rising stars such as Onala are also emerging."
"You calm down and ask yourself, what do the Draini lack today? Is it really a warrior who charges forward?"
“What is it that you should really be learning?”
"I……"
Yin Ruil raised his hand and held his right corner with a somewhat painful look on his face: "I'm sorry, please leave me alone for a while, my...mind is very confused."
Sarlayan knew that too much was too much, so he did not continue to force Yin Ruil, who was trapped in self-doubt, and planned to give her some time to sort out her thoughts.
"Don't worry."
Saryan retracted his previous harsh attitude and said softly: "We will stay in Flanlon for about another month. I hope you can come up with an answer that satisfies you before we leave."
"Your mentor, Prophet Velen, is still waiting for you to find your way forward again in Azeroth."
