Great Knight (Pseudo), Heading to Mount Odin to Find Long Xingyu

Ye Ling's sword slammed fiercely into the Test Pillar.

A corresponding value quickly appeared on it.

350

"Three hundred and fifty points of External Spiritual Power?"

"That means the First Seal unlocked fifty points of External Spiritual Power, while the Second Seal unlocked around one hundred points of Spiritual Power."

Ye Ling pondered it. This number was terrifying.

Logically speaking, most newly advanced Earth Knights only had this much External Spiritual Power. Some even had less.

It could be said that the Golden Dragon King bloodline had directly given Ye Ling a body comparable to an Earth Knight, allowing him to leap across two tiers at once.

Of course.

That was all it was—something that could be said.

After all, an Earth Knight possessed at least two thousand points of Inner Spiritual Power. Combined with their External Spiritual Power, they could easily beat Ye Ling senseless.

Still, it was no big deal. His age was right here; after some time, he might be the one beating them senseless instead.

Very soon, Ye Ling tested his Inner Spiritual Power as well.

One hundred and seventy points of Inner Spiritual Power. Compared to a month ago, Ye Ling had improved by around twenty points.

Still, that was normal. Over the past month or so, Ye Ling had not cultivated his External Spiritual Power at all. He could only rely on the Six-Winged Angel automatically absorbing light elements from the outside world to cultivate.

Yes, the Six-Winged Angel AFK Treasure. Everyone who used it said it was good.

"Still, judging by the numbers, one hundred and seventy plus three hundred and fifty makes five hundred and twenty points of Spiritual Power. That already makes me a Great Knight, yet the Angel Sacred Sword still hasn't advanced."

Ye Ling sighed helplessly. He understood the reason perfectly—it was still an issue with the system.

A Great Knight required five hundred points of total Spiritual Power, but the Angel Sacred Sword did not acknowledge advancements in External Spiritual Power. That was the Golden Dragon King bloodline's domain.

If he wanted the Angel Sacred Sword to enter Brilliant Grade, Ye Ling's Inner Spiritual Power alone had to reach the Great Knight tier.

According to the Divine Seal World's system, Ye Ling could now be considered a true Great Knight. But according to the Angel Sacred Sword's method of judgment, Ye Ling was a Great Knight (Pseudo), temporarily unable to advance in any aspect.

Still, it did not matter. He would just follow the Angel Sacred Sword's standards.

"Next, I need to focus on cultivating my Inner Spiritual Power."

Ye Ling reflected inwardly. He really had gone overboard with forging lately and had indeed neglected his Inner Spiritual Power. No matter what profession a cultivator pursued, Inner Spiritual Power was the foundation of all foundations.

Because of the Golden Dragon King bloodline, he could cultivate both internally and externally, but Inner Spiritual Power was still the priority. Even in forging, Inner Spiritual Power remained paramount. After all, later Spirit Forging, Soul Forging, and even Heavenly Forging all required Inner Spiritual Power.

And for the final Heavenly Forging, his Inner Spiritual Power had to reach the Ninth-Order tier before he could complete it!

Just thinking about it was frightening.

Therefore, Ye Ling still needed to cultivate his Inner Spiritual Power properly.

"If I want to cultivate Inner Spiritual Power, the Haoyue Branch Temple isn't a good place. I'll need to find someone else." Ye Ling thought for a moment.

Then he thought of something.

"Then I'll go find Long Xingyu. At this point, he should still be teaching Long Haochen. If I go there, not only can I improve my Inner Spiritual Power, but when I learn skills, I can have him guide me directly. That's a win-win arrangement."

Ye Ling murmured.

He understood what he needed to do next.

Next, he would go find Long Xingyu.

Once Li Xin helped settle everything, he could head to Mount Odin to find Long Xingyu.

Three days later.

At the entrance to Mount Odin, Ye Ling had brought all his belongings to the foot of the mountain. He silently looked upward, seemingly contemplating something.

By then, he had already arranged everything and stored it in the Storage Space of the Forget-Me-Not Ring before coming here.

"According to the information Long Xingyu left Instructor Balza, I just need to keep going from here, and I'll see three Small Thatched Cottages," Ye Ling murmured.

Then, he charged rapidly up the mountain.

Ye Ling was extremely fast, occasionally accompanied by flashes of Time-Space Shuttle. Before long, he arrived at a campsite with three Small Thatched Cottages.

Long Xingyu was not there. Only Long Haochen was inside, swinging the Alloy Precious Sword in his hand. He wielded it with great force, and his fundamentals were exceptionally solid.

"Haochen." Ye Ling immediately walked over. When Long Haochen saw him approaching, he jumped in fright. Once he realized it was Ye Ling, surprise flashed across his little face, but he did not call for Long Xingyu. After all, Ye Ling was an elder brother he genuinely acknowledged from the bottom of his heart.

"Brother Ye, why are you here?" Long Haochen asked.

"Didn't your teacher invite me before? He said that if I wanted to cultivate with him, I could come over. So I came," Ye Ling replied.

"I see. Wait for me, I'll go find Teacher Xingyu." Long Haochen said excitedly.

Then, he pulled Long Xingyu over.

The instant Long Xingyu saw Ye Ling, he froze. He looked at Ye Ling in astonishment, unsure what to say.

"What is going on with him? Why is his body emitting such an unusual pressure? And his External Spiritual Power seems to have increased greatly?"

"Oh no, it isn't merely a great increase. He has directly crossed into another tier. Even among the many Great Knights above level eight, none possess External Spiritual Power at this tier. He must be comparable to an Earth Knight, right?"

Unlike Long Haochen, who could not see anything at all, Long Xingyu could see Ye Ling's abnormality after only a few glances.

That External Spiritual Power had completely overshadowed his Inner Spiritual Power.

It was extremely unusual.

But that was impossible!

Unless his External Spiritual Power, aside from its original two hundred points, had exceeded his Inner Spiritual Power, such a thing could happen.

And judging from this, had Ye Ling's External Spiritual Power completely surpassed his own Inner Spiritual Power?

What kind of situation was that?

Hadn't Inner Spiritual Power always surpassed External Spiritual Power?

Even those who cultivated both internally and externally would, before the Fourth Rank, at least have their Inner and External Spiritual Power on par. After the Fourth Rank, their Inner Spiritual Power would be at least double their External Spiritual Power!

Ye Ling's state was extremely strange. At the very least, Long Xingyu had rarely seen anything like it.

Thinking of this, he hurried over to Ye Ling and asked, "What is going on with your body?"

"Why does your External Spiritual Power carry such overwhelming force?" Long Xingyu asked seriously.

"I awakened a special bloodline. It is very powerful when it comes to increasing External Spiritual Power, so this happened naturally," Ye Ling answered truthfully. Bloodlines were not common in the Divine Seal World, but neither were they some great secret. If it could be said, he would say it.

"Give me a punch. You don't need to hold back," Long Xingyu said loudly, his tone resolute.

Upon hearing that, Long Haochen was instantly dumbfounded. Good heavens, Teacher Xingyu, what was going on with you? Were you a masochist? Ye Ling had just arrived, and this was what you wanted?

Hearing this, Ye Ling understood Long Xingyu's intentions. Without much hesitation, he merely activated the Golden Dragon King Bloodline Power within his body. Waves of golden dragon scales emerged across his body, surging upward and releasing terrifying pressure.

At the same time, the Golden Dragon Claw on his right hand erupted.

The terrifying pressure turned Long Haochen's face deathly pale. Even Long Xingyu stared at Ye Ling in shock before receiving that punch.
