Chapter 1: Sign in to Receive the Six-Winged Angel and Achieve Pseudo-Knight Rank!
Sacred Demon Continent.
Bright Moon Sub-Hall.
Testing Hall.
Ye Ling gripped a heavy knight's sword and slammed it hard onto the testing pillar.
The pillar quickly flashed a corresponding value.
[70]
"Sigh, seventy points… there really hasn't been much progress." Staring at the number on the pillar, Ye Ling felt like crying.
Half a year.
It had already been half a year since the last test. He had only increased his spiritual power from sixty to seventy points—just a ten-point improvement.
His talent was truly terrible!
And this was after undergoing the most systematic training available in the Bright Moon Sub-Hall. Yet this was all the improvement he got...
"It's okay, Ye Ling. You've only been at the Bright Moon Sub-Hall for two years, and you've already reached Seventh Level Knight Attendant from the First Level. At this pace, you'll definitely break through to the hundred-point Pseudo-Knight within a year and a half!"
Li Xin, standing nearby, tried to comfort him.
But to Ye Ling, this wasn't comforting at all!
After all, he wasn't a native of this world!
He was a transmigrator!
Yes, Ye Ling came from Shui Lanxing, a planet of information explosion, and had transmigrated two years ago into the body of a child with the same name in Odin Town.
Because he knew the plot of the original work and understood it wouldn't begin for some time, he decided to get ahead of things.
So the moment he broke through to Knight Attendant, he followed the memory in his mind and requested to join the Bright Moon Sub-Hall for cultivation.
After arriving here, due to various reasons, he got acquainted with Li Xin and, thanks to her straightforward nature, became her younger brother.
The name "Hell Rose" was well known throughout Bright Moon City, saving him a lot of trouble.
But it hadn't helped much. Two years had passed, and he was still far from becoming a Pseudo-Knight. Time was flying by, and the plot was about to unfold. Ye Ling was growing more and more anxious.
"Sis Xin, you don't need to comfort me. I know just how slow I am."
Ye Ling sighed. He had never compared himself to other Knight Attendants in the Bright Moon Sub-Hall.
He compared himself to Long Haochen.
Compared himself to the geniuses of the Alliance.
He was utterly crushed by comparison.
Li Xin didn't understand Ye Ling's pain, but she still changed the topic and said, "Uncle Nalan told me that the annual Knight Attendant assessment of Odin Sub-Hall is about to begin. You can return temporarily to act as an instructor. We can decide what to do afterward."
Hearing this, Ye Ling's eyes lit up.
A month from now would be the day Long Haochen undertook his trial—the day the story officially began.
Ye Ling had always gotten along well with Long Haochen. The kid used to call him "big brother" all the time, and even now, every time he returned, Long Haochen would come looking for him.
Now that the story was about to start, he figured it was best to show his face. At the very least, when Long Haochen rose to power, he could cling to his coattails.
In the original story, Li Xin's final outcome seemed to be becoming an Eighth Rank Holy Knight.
His talent was roughly the same as hers, so Ninth Rank—barely—shouldn't be too much to ask, right?
With this thought, Ye Ling finished his chat with Li Xin and headed straight back to his residence.
Upon returning, Ye Ling collapsed onto his bed.
"Sigh… Maybe I'd have been better off not transmigrating at all."
"In other people's transmigration stories, they all get some kind of powerful system, god-tier potential, acting cool and flashy… but me? I have to suffer and grind it out. It's just so frustrating." Ye Ling grumbled.
He really felt like he was embarrassing the many senior transmigrators who came before him.
After complaining a bit, Ye Ling got up. He had never been the kind to accept his fate. He might rant, but when it came to improving himself, he never slacked.
With that in mind, he stopped talking and, after a short rest, prepared to resume his training.
Suddenly, in the next moment, a cold female voice echoed in his mind.
[Ding! Host has remained in the Divine Throne World for two full years—System successfully activated.]
[When the host reaches a specific location or encounters someone with great fortune, you may sign in and receive a reward.]
[Host has now arrived at a designated location: Bright Moon Knight Sub-Hall.]
[Would you like to sign in?]
"…What kind of setup is this? The system only activates after two full years?"
"Two years—do you have any idea what I've been through during these two years?"
If you've got a cheat, why not appear earlier? Why set a time limit? What kind of twisted logic is this?!
However, Ye Ling only grumbled for a moment before calling out in his heart, "Sign in."
[Sign-in successful. Host has obtained the Light Martial Soul: Six-Winged Angel!]
"Six-Winged Angel? Isn't that…?" The moment he saw this, Ye Ling was shocked. He was very familiar with the Six-Winged Angel.
The Six-Winged Angel was the highest form of angel.
In the world of Douluo, possessing the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul meant it was a God-given soul, representing someone born with 20 points of innate spiritual power. Translated into the worldview of Divine Throne, that meant 100 points of innate inner spiritual power—the physique of the Child of Light. It could even surpass the limit and reach 120 points, the physique of the God of Light!
As Ye Ling pondered this, a strange light flashed all over his body and spread outward, instantly enveloping the entire room in pure light energy.
Feeling this, a sense of comfort flashed through Ye Ling's eyes.
He then quietly closed his eyes and entered a cultivation state.
Suppressing all thoughts and calming his breath.
In an instant, he felt as though he had entered a special realm—deep within his soul.
There, hovering in the depths of his soul, was an angel with six pairs of wings, eyes closed, incredibly beautiful and holy. Its entire being was radiating pure light energy, leaving Ye Ling in awe.
Yes, mainly because it was big.
Truly big.
"This is my Martial Soul… the Six-Winged Angel? Is this also the Angel God?"
Ye Ling murmured to himself.
Feeling the immense light energy from the Six-Winged Angel, he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. He could already sense that with her help, he might truly soar!
His limits had already changed. In the future, it was no longer a matter of merely reaching Ninth Rank Knight. Even creating his own divine seat might not be so difficult.
With that thought, Ye Ling immediately entered a cultivation state.
He exited the internal vision, fully immersing his mind in training.
In the next moment, countless streams of dense light elements surged into his body and began to fuse.
Soon, Ye Ling transformed into a being made entirely of light.
Perfectly immersed in cultivation.
One night passed.
The light had completely faded.
Only Ye Ling remained seated cross-legged in place.
But he was vastly different from yesterday. He was still human, but his aura and the powerful presence radiating from him had transformed dramatically.
It was truly astonishing!
Soon, Ye Ling slowly opened his eyes and felt the energy within him.
"This abundant light energy is terrifying. Even without awakening innate spiritual power, I can still feel the flow of light energy within me."
"If I'm not mistaken, my potential now surpasses Haochen. I've directly reached the level of so-called full-point innate spiritual power!"
Ye Ling muttered to himself, a trace of a smile appearing in his eyes.
With his eyes closed, he could clearly sense the Six-Winged Angel flapping its wings inside his spiritual sea, radiating intense light energy—all of which he could harness.
Feeling this, Ye Ling couldn't help but smile.
He was set!
With that thought, Ye Ling didn't stay where he was for long. He quickly got out of bed and headed straight for the training arena.
It was still early.
Very few people were there. Other than Ye Ling, only Li Xin had arrived.
"Ye Ling, you want to try again?" Li Xin had been training, but upon seeing Ye Ling, she stopped and looked at him in confusion.
"Yes, Sister Xin," Ye Ling nodded.
He couldn't wait to test his current strength and see what level he had reached with the boost from the Six-Winged Angel.
Very quickly, he grasped his black iron sword and looked at the testing stone in front of him. He wanted to see what his strength had become.
With that thought, he didn't hesitate. He activated his full power and slashed the iron sword toward the testing stone.
The terrifying force made the stone tremble.
Moments later—
A number appeared on the stone.
