A Month Passes, Sign In with Long Xingyu, Inheritance!

Not much had happened over the past month.

Ye Ling had mostly been cultivating or making things, then teaching the students a thing or two.

Over the past month, the knight students had learned many things. Ye Ling taught them the exercises and other methods he used for training, and he even helped them apply for additional resources.

Well.

Those so-called resources were really just a few extra bottles of Spirit Nurturing Liquid, which they took and refined under Ye Ling's guidance.

Spirit Nurturing Liquid had long since lost its effect on Ye Ling, but for them, its effects were at their peak.

And just like that, a month passed.

Dawn gradually rose, and Ye Ling emerged from cultivation.

He carefully assessed his own strength.

"Over the past month, there haven't been many opportunities, but my progress has been fairly steady. By my calculations, my Inner Spiritual Power has increased by half—around fifty spiritual power points this month."

"In other words, including roughly one hundred and fifty points of External Spiritual Power, my total spiritual power should be around three hundred. That's approximately the level of a fifth-grade knight. Not bad, not bad."

Ye Ling murmured.

That increase...

Good lord, if that was the case, he was not far from Li Xin now.

Li Xin was currently around a sixth-grade knight. Just a little more!

At the thought, a smile appeared on his lips.

"Today is when the original plot begins—the Knight Squire examination, and Long Xingyu's appearance." Ye Ling pondered for a moment before thinking of something and looking toward Mount Odin outside.

"And the Reincarnated Saintess of the Assassin Temple, Sheng Cai'er, will appear as well. Today is the day of the Assassin Temple's trial, and she'll come here because of various circumstances."

Ye Ling made his calculations. Once the examination was over, he could go take a look.

His cultivation had ended, and Ye Ling did not rest in his room for long. He left his room, only to find Instructor Balza standing at the entrance, staring ahead with a trace of urgency in his eyes.

"What is it, Instructor Balza?" Ye Ling asked in confusion.

"Come with me. Someone wants to see you," Instructor Balza said hurriedly.

Hearing that, Ye Ling left with him.

Though Ye Ling only had a vague idea of who wanted to see him, his familiarity with the original story made him think of someone.

If nothing unexpected happened, it should be him.

They soon arrived at the entrance of the Odin Sub-Temple. It was still early, and no students had arrived yet, so they entered the Odin Sub-Temple without obstruction.

Inside stood a bearded middle-aged man. A solemn killing aura radiated from his entire body, yet his expression remained calm.

The instant Instructor Balza saw the middle-aged man, a trace of fear flashed through his eyes. He did not know the man's true identity, but the Identity Token he had displayed and the aura surrounding him made Instructor Balza apprehensive.

"...Looks like I guessed right." Ye Ling recognized him the moment he saw him.

Well.

The newcomer was none other than Long Xingyu, wielder of the Throne of Slaughter and Judgment, Long Haochen's father—and also the number one man in the Divine Seal World at imagining himself being cuckolded. Matters that could have been cleared up in a few sentences, yet he stubbornly could not bear to say them.

"My lord knight!" Instructor Balza stepped forward, a flicker of fear in his eyes. He held genuine reverence for Long Xingyu.

But Ye Ling was not like that.

He merely walked forward silently.

He wanted to see what Long Xingyu was planning.

The moment Ye Ling approached him, the system's cold mechanical voice suddenly rang out in his mind.

Detected that the host has encountered a designated expert, Judgment Knight Long Xingyu.

Sign-in is available. Does the host wish to sign in?

Hearing the system's voice, Ye Ling froze for a moment, but he did not hesitate. He immediately chose to sign in.

"Sign in!" Ye Ling said inwardly.

Host has successfully signed in. Obtained the teachings of Ninth Tier Judgment Knight Long Xingyu: Judgment Knight Long Xingyu's special Inheritance Ring. The host may choose its appearance. Once the required level is reached, the skills within may be learned. It also contains Long Xingyu's cultivation experience from many years.

Good lord, I was just worrying about not having any skills. I happened to sign in for this thing, so now I won't have to worry about lacking Retribution Knight skills!

Ye Ling was delighted inwardly.

However, he had a question.

"System, logically speaking, Long Xingyu is someone with great fortune. Then why can't Haochen, the world's protagonist, be signed in with?" Ye Ling asked inwardly.

Not yet awakened.

The system gave that reply and fell silent.

Hearing this, Ye Ling had nothing more to say. He merely looked at Long Xingyu again and waited for what he would say next.

The moment Long Xingyu saw Ye Ling, he began observing him.

At first, he noticed nothing. But through the powerful perception of a Ninth Tier Expert, he sensed the flow of Inner Spiritual Power within Ye Ling. Though he did not know Ye Ling's exact Innate Internal Spiritual Power, he could confirm one thing: Ye Ling was already a True Knight.

"A twelve-year-old knight?" Long Xingyu stared at Ye Ling. Even with all his experience, he could not help being startled.

What a joke. Even he, the number one genius of the Knight Temple in the past century, who had awakened seventy-seven points of Innate Internal Spiritual Power, had only become a True Knight at thirteen. Ye Ling had done it a full year earlier than him!

It seems there must be something hidden behind him. The Haoyue Branch Temple is nowhere near the top among all the branch temples. It should be impossible for it to cultivate such a genius. Another expert must be training him—perhaps even one of the other Ninth Tier Experts.

Long Xingyu began filling in the blanks in his mind.

Still, he did not know that, aside from Ye Ling himself, he was the first person to learn that Ye Ling was a True Knight.

At this point, he no longer had much desire to question Ye Ling.

Originally, because Ye Ling had taken care of Long Haochen, he had intended to repay him and learn some information about Long Haochen from him.

But now, never mind.

He cherished talent like this. He also wanted to see whether he might have a chance to take Ye Ling as his disciple. That would truly be a wonderful thing!

That way, there would be one more person in the future capable of killing the Demon God Emperor.

Thus, after asking a few questions, he simply let Ye Ling do as he pleased.

Hearing that, Ye Ling did not say much. The students had not arrived yet, so he could try out what he had just obtained and learn some of those skills.

He walked to an open area.

Taking out the Inheritance Ring, Ye Ling controlled it, and the entire ring turned golden, radiating a dense aura.

Next, let me learn these skills. I've controlled Inner Spiritual Power for so long, yet I've never actually learned any Retribution Knight skills from the Divine Seal World.

Ye Ling complained inwardly.

A moment later, he activated his Inner Spiritual Power and sent it into the ring, beginning to learn the skills.
