Chapter 7: A Month Passes, Sign-in on Long Xingyu, Inheritance!
Not much had happened over the past month.
Ye Ling basically spent his time cultivating, or creating something, and then instructing those students.
Over this month, those knight students learned many things. Ye Ling taught them the exercises he used for training and other things, and also helped them apply for more resources.
Hmm...
Actually, the so-called resources were just a few extra bottles of Pei Yuan Liquid, which were consumed and utilized under Ye Ling's guidance.
For Ye Ling, Pei Yuan Liquid had long lost its effectiveness, but for them, its utility was optimal.
And under this arrangement, a month passed just like that.
As dawn broke, Ye Ling slowly came out of his cultivation state.
He carefully sensed his own strength.
"Over this past month, although there weren't many opportunities, the speed of improvement has been quite steady. Calculating my internal spiritual energy, it should have increased by half, roughly fifty points of spiritual energy over the month."
"Which means, counting the approximately one hundred fifty points of external spiritual energy, my total spiritual energy should be around three hundred points, roughly equivalent to the level of a fifth-rank Knight. Not bad, not bad."
Ye Ling murmured to himself.
This improvement.
Good heavens, if calculated this way, he wasn't far from Li Xin's level.
Li Xin was currently around a sixth-rank Knight, just a little bit more!
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his lips.
"Today marks the beginning of the original story's plot, the Knight Squire assessment, and the appearance of Long Xingyu." Ye Ling pondered, then thought of something and looked towards the Odin Mountain Range outside.
"Also, the appearance of the Reincarnation Saintess of the Assassin Temple, Sheng Cai'er. Today is the trial day for the Assassin Temple, and she will also come here due to various matters..."
Ye Ling calculated; perhaps after this test was over, he could go take a look...
Cultivation had ended. Ye Ling didn't rest in his place for too long but left his room. Just as he reached the doorway, he saw Instructor Balzha standing at the main gate, looking around with a hint of urgency in his eyes.
"What's wrong, Instructor Balzha?" Ye Ling asked, puzzled.
"Come with me? Someone wants to see you," Instructor Balzha said hurriedly.
Hearing this, Ye Ling left with him.
Although Ye Ling only had a vague idea about the person who wanted to see him, his familiarity with the original story brought a certain figure to mind.
If nothing unexpected happened, it should be him.
They quickly arrived at the main gate of the Odin Branch Hall. It was still early, no students had arrived yet, and the path was clear all the way into the interior of the Odin Branch Hall.
Inside, stood a middle-aged man with a beard, exuding an air of severity, his expression calm.
The moment he saw this middle-aged man, a trace of fear flashed in Instructor Balzha's eyes. He didn't know his true identity, but the identity token he produced and the aura surrounding him made Instructor Balzha somewhat afraid.
"...Looks like I didn't guess wrong." The moment he saw this person, Ye Ling recognized him.
Hmm.
The visitor was none other than the wielder of the Throne of Slaughter and Judgment, Long Xingyu, also Long Haochen's father, and furthermore, the number one character in the world of Divine Throne for jumping to conclusions about being cuckolded; things that could have been clarified with a few words, but he stubbornly refused to say them...
"Lord Knight!" Instructor Balzha walked forward, a trace of fear flashing in his eyes. He felt a heartfelt reverence for Long Xingyu.
But Ye Ling didn't react the same way.
He just silently walked forward.
He wanted to see what Long Xingyu was planning to do.
And as soon as he got close to him, the cold, mechanical voice of the system suddenly sounded in Ye Ling's mind.
[Detected that the host has encountered a specific powerhouse, Judgment Knight Long Xingyu.]
[Sign-in available. Does the host wish to sign in?]
Hearing the system's voice, Ye Ling was momentarily stunned but didn't hesitate, immediately choosing to sign in.
"Sign in!" Ye Ling said inwardly.
[Host sign-in successful. Obtained the knowledge of Judgment Knight Long Xingyu, a ninth-rank Judgment Knight (Special Inheritance Ring, host can choose its appearance. Skills within can be learned upon reaching certain levels, and it also contains Long Xingyu's years of cultivation experience.)]
"Good heavens, I was just worrying about not having any skills, and I happened to sign in for this thing. Now I won't have to worry about lacking Retribution Knight skills!"
Ye Ling exclaimed inwardly with joy.
However, he also had a question.
"System, logically speaking, Long Xingyu possesses great destiny. As the world's protagonist, why can't Haochen be signed in for?" Ye Ling asked doubtfully in his mind.
[Not yet awakened.] The system gave this reply and said no more.
Hearing this, Ye Ling had nothing more to say, simply looking again at Long Xingyu, waiting for his next words.
The moment he saw Ye Ling, Long Xingyu began to observe him.
At first, he didn't notice anything special, but through the powerful perception of a ninth-rank powerhouse, he sensed the flow of internal spiritual energy within Ye Ling. Although he didn't know the specific amount of innate internal spiritual energy, he could confirm that Ye Ling was already a true Knight.
"A twelve-year-old Knight?" Long Xingyu looked at Ye Ling. Even someone as experienced and knowledgeable as him couldn't help but be somewhat shocked.
Seriously, even he, the number one genius of the Knight Temple in a century, who had awakened seventy-seven points of innate internal spiritual energy, only became a true Knight at the age of thirteen. Ye Ling was a year earlier than him!
"It seems there must be something hidden behind him. Bright Moon Branch Hall doesn't rank high among all the branch halls; it's likely impossible for them to cultivate such a genius. There must be other powerhouses cultivating him, perhaps even one of the other ninth-rank powerhouses."
Long Xingyu speculated inwardly.
However, he didn't know that, apart from Ye Ling himself, he was the first person to realize Ye Ling was a true Knight.
At this point, he no longer had any intention of questioning Ye Ling.
Initially, he had intended to repay Ye Ling for taking care of Long Haochen and to get some information about Long Haochen from him.
But now, forget it.
He cherished talent like this and wondered if there was a chance to take him as a disciple. That would truly be a wonderful thing!
In that case, there would be one more person capable of slaying the Demon God Emperor in the future.
Therefore, he just asked some specific questions and then let Ye Ling go about his business.
Hearing this, Ye Ling didn't say much. Since the students hadn't arrived yet, he could try out the new things he had obtained and learn those skills.
He walked to an empty space.
He took out the Inheritance Ring. Under Ye Ling's control, the entire Inheritance Ring turned golden yellow, shimmering with a dense aura.
"Next, let me learn these skills. I've mastered internal spiritual energy for so long, but I haven't actually learned the Retribution Knight skills of this Divine Throne world."
Ye Ling complained inwardly.
A moment later, he activated his internal spiritual energy, entered the ring, and began learning the skills...
Asking for recommendation tickets!
