Sacred Awakening, Hundred Points Innate Internal Spiritual Power, God-bestowed Skills

Atop the mountain, Ye Ling stood there with the Awakening Stone in hand, setting up the awakening formation according to the requirements.

No one knew how much time had passed before dawn began to break.

Ye Ling's formation was finally complete.

"Next, I can begin awakening my Inner Spiritual Power. The timing is perfect!" Ye Ling smiled at the completed awakening formation and prepared to act. "Time to get ready for the awakening."

Looking at the awakening formation he had set up, Ye Ling's gaze sharpened as he spoke seriously.

He then placed traps and other measures around the area. He had just checked—there were no living creatures nearby, and even if there were, he would be able to react instantly.

Sigh, Ye Ling did not want to be this cautious either, but he had no choice. He did not dare ask anyone to guard him yet. His current strength was still insufficient, and exposing too much at once would be troublesome.

The next moment, he began channeling the Angel Sacred Sword in his hand. An immensely terrifying aura flickered forth and connected with the awakening formation.

At the same time, the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul within Ye Ling's body received the connection. Countless strands of Light energy began to spread in every direction.

"It's begun." Feeling a trace of heat in his chest, Ye Ling's eyes flashed with a smile.

Because of his Martial Soul, this early awakening did not cause him much Pain. His entire body was bathed in light.

He entered a special state.

His Innate Internal Spiritual Power also began to reveal itself at that moment, perfectly displayed by the ten large lamps before him.

The first lamp lit up, and at that very moment—

In the blink of an eye, four lamps lit up.

This represented Ye Ling reaching forty points of Innate Internal Spiritual Power.

But this was only the beginning.

The next moment—

Another three lit up.

The pace slowed slightly. Two more lit up.

Nine large lamps were now illuminated, which meant Ye Ling had reached the Son of Light physique with ninety points of Innate Internal Spiritual Power.

Then, the final lamp slowly began to light up.

Before long, it was fully illuminated.

"All ten lamps are fully lit, which means my Innate Internal Spiritual Power has reached one hundred points. This is absolutely stable—I'm already going to suppress Haochen."

"Even if he breaks through the Limit later on, that doesn't mean I can't!"

Ye Ling laughed heartily, golden light flashing in his eyes. At this moment, due to the perfect fusion of the Power of Light, Ye Ling's pupils abruptly turned golden, making him appear incredibly mysterious and sacred.

But he did not hesitate for long. Instead, he sat cross-legged and stabilized his strength.

Soon, his aura gradually settled.

Then Ye Ling opened his eyes, his pupils returning to black. He stood up, stretched lazily, and said, "Sure enough, Sacred Awakening feels truly wonderful. My whole body feels warm."

Ye Ling gave his assessment.

Then he raised his head and looked toward the sky. The blazing sun was shining brightly at this moment. It was scorching to others, but not to Ye Ling.

The Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul possessed the ability to command the sun.

Looking at the sun blazing in the sky, Ye Ling stretched out his hand. The sun seemed to be stirred, responding to his summons as a trace of power appeared ready to descend. Fortunately, Ye Ling withdrew his hand in time. Otherwise, it would have been troublesome if something happened.

It would be awkward if he ended up setting the mountain on fire.

If all of this were exposed, it would not cause any major trouble, but it would definitely be a huge hassle.

Ye Ling was not afraid of trouble, but it was best to avoid trouble that could be avoided.

"I'll try the sun again later. My strength is still too weak right now. Even if I can manipulate the sun, I'll definitely suffer backlash."

After thinking for a moment, Ye Ling turned his gaze elsewhere.

At that moment, he closed his eyes and began communicating with the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul within his body. This time, there was not the slightest sense of unfamiliarity. Ye Ling summoned it instantly. In an instant, an extremely aloof Six-Winged Angel appeared behind him, seeming as though it wanted to embrace him.

It continuously poured its power into Ye Ling's body, and Ye Ling could feel his strength surging wildly.

However, unlike simply activating a Martial Soul, controlling its power did not necessarily require fully summoning it.

One only needed to communicate with its power to use it completely. Ye Ling was merely testing it this time.

At that moment, Ye Ling noticed three special halos on the Six-Winged Angel's body, glowing with strange light. With a thought from Ye Ling, they flew directly onto his body.

"Could these be Soul Rings?"

"According to what I know, the Six-Winged Angel is a God-bestowed Martial Soul, so there's no need to hunt Soul Beasts. Soul Rings will naturally appear."

Ye Ling murmured.

He seemed to understand what he needed to do next.

Very soon, the first golden Soul Ring flashed and attached itself to Ye Ling's body.

"Angel Assault!" Gripping the Angel Sacred Sword in his hand, Ye Ling released an incomparably terrifying radiance and charged forward.

Although he did not strike anything, Ye Ling analyzed the power of this move in that brief instant.

"I estimate that anyone below Tier 3 Level 5 won't be able to block this move. Even a Tier 3 peak opponent won't be able to stop it easily. Even Fourth Rank experts—Great Knights—would have to treat it seriously. As expected of a Godly Skill!"

Feeling its power, Ye Ling praised it.

According to the rank system, a Great Knight was equivalent to a Three-Ring Soul Elder. Thus, he had three God-bestowed Soul Skills available for use.

Soon, the second golden Soul Ring lit up as well, creating a pair of wings behind Ye Ling. The wings were immensely sacred and possessed terrifying speed and combat power. As Ye Ling's strength increased, every aspect of the wings would improve accordingly.

The third Soul Skill was Angel's Protection, which provided defense and healing. Its exact effects would only be known after actual combat.

"Not bad. This improvement is truly solid."

Feeling the surging aura within his body, Ye Ling's eyes filled with delight. Clearly, he was extremely satisfied with this advancement.

Holding the Angel Sacred Sword in his hand, Ye Ling could also sense that after he had just infused it with spiritual power, the Angel Sacred Sword had crossed from a Magic-grade Sword to a Spirit-Demon Grade Sword in a matter of moments.

Absolutely solid!

It could be said that, according to Ye Ling's observations, his current strength was more than ten times greater than before. If the special God-bestowed Soul Skills were included, it would not be impossible for that tenfold increase to double again.

Wonderful!

Truly wonderful!

Suddenly, Ye Ling looked up. The sun had now fully emerged, seemingly indicating the time.

"That should be about enough. Since the awakening succeeded and I've completely mastered my Power of Light, I can head back now."

"Otherwise, with Sister Xin'er's personality, she'll end up searching all over the mountain for me."

Ye Ling complained helplessly.

Then, he put away everything he had brought with him, leaving behind no trace before departing.
