Awakening Ceremony, Have You Heard of Ka Ban Yan?

"Hall Master, we indeed couldn't find any information on Lin Feng in the Six Great Temples' database. He isn't a member of the Six Great Temples."

Seeing this, Xia Ying One hurriedly continued explaining.

"However, his identity can be verified. He was born in a small village fifty kilometers from the Assassin Temple..." Xia Ying One glanced at Lin Feng, his gaze somewhat evasive. "But that village was... massacred by the Demon Race three days ago..."

"...He is currently the only survivor."

"Cai'er found him in the lake while passing by and pulled him out. Otherwise, there would have been no survivors in the entire village."

This truly caught Lin Feng by surprise. The system had even arranged such an identity for him.

But this was good too. It spared him a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Just as Lin Feng was considering how to respond, Cai'er suddenly took his hand, her eyes full of concern.

"Don't worry. I'm fine."

"...Actually, when I woke up, I couldn't remember anything about the village either."

The others did not question Lin Feng further after hearing his explanation.

After all, people could suffer from selective amnesia after experiencing certain traumatic memories.

"You'll undergo the Awakening Ceremony with Xue Yun later." Ying Suifeng's tone was no longer as forceful as before.

Strictly speaking, such a horrifying tragedy happening near the Assassin Temple meant they bore some responsibility as well.

Xia Ying One also breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Whether he had undergone the Awakening Ceremony or not, they could simply do it again.

If Lin Feng had reached 156 spiritual power without undergoing the Awakening Ceremony, that would be an utterly terrifying prospect.

There had likely never been such a person on the entire Holy Magic Continent.

Under Ying Suifeng's guidance, the three of them arrived in a special room. Spirit Gathering Arrays lined the walls, while a massive Awakening Array stood in the center.

As for Xue Yun, considering that Lin Feng's Innate Inner Spiritual Power might be extremely high, Xia Ying One had already taken him to another secret chamber.

"Stand in the center of the Awakening Array."

With a wave of Ying Suifeng's hand, several amber Awakening Stones embedded themselves into their respective grooves.

The Spirit Gathering Arrays around them also began operating. A massive amount of elemental power poured into the room, and in an instant, the elemental power within the room became several times denser than outside.

"Get ready. I'm starting."

After Lin Feng nodded, Ying Suifeng activated the array. The Awakening Stones embedded in the grooves instantly shattered.

They transformed into pure spiritual power and flowed into Lin Feng's body.

Seeing this, Cai'er could not help worrying for Lin Feng. When she had awakened, she had found it very painful.

"The first step of awakening is using the Awakening Stones to purge the impurities from your body. Since you are quite young, this process will be extremely painful. Be prepared," Ying Suifeng reminded him, a rare occurrence.

Even he had nearly passed out from the pain when he awakened as a child.

Upon hearing Ying Suifeng's words, Lin Feng had already braced himself. Yet as the pure spiritual power entered his body, not only did he feel no discomfort, he actually found it incredibly pleasant.

Seeing Lin Feng's thoroughly content expression, Ying Suifeng froze for a moment. Then, a trace of purple mist surfaced in his pupils.

No wonder...

There was not a single trace of impurity in this child's Twelve Meridians.

Nor were there any signs that they had been artificially cleared.

He was simply a cultivation prodigy by nature. Even Ying Suifeng felt an urge to take him under his wing. Even if Lin Feng belonged to the Knight Temple, he wanted to keep him here.

With his physique, breaking through to Ninth Rank would pose absolutely no problem. When Cai'er inherited the position of Temple Master, Lin Feng could inherit his position as well.

Sigh...

Ying Suifeng let out a long inward sigh, then reconsidered. With Lin Feng's talent, if he truly belonged to the Knight Temple, they would probably come demanding him back the very next day once they learned he was here.

At that moment, he actually hoped that what Lin Feng said was true.

He hoped that Lin Feng truly had reached 156 spiritual power without ever undergoing Holy Divine Awakening.

"Brat, don't disappoint me!"

At this moment, Ying Suifeng looked at Lin Feng as though he were looking at a naked beautiful girl. His gaze burned with fervor.

"Lin Feng, I'm beginning the next step." As he said this, even he could feel the excitement in his heart.

Because with the next step, he would discover whether Lin Feng had truly undergone the Awakening Ceremony before.

The moment Ying Suifeng finished speaking, Lin Feng's body was lifted by spiritual power, while ten diamond-shaped crystals floated around him.

"Black! They're black!!!"

Ying Suifeng stared at the diamond-shaped crystals before him in horror.

This meant it was Lin Feng's first awakening...

At that moment, his gaze at Lin Feng no longer held the slightest concealment. It was filled with possessiveness.

Brat, let me see just how outrageous your Innate Inner Spiritual Power truly is.

At the same time.

The instant the crystals appeared, Lin Feng suddenly felt hungry—a craving for the elements in the air.

In an instant, the spiritual power in the air suddenly became active.

It radiated light in every color.

More precisely, there were seven colors: red representing Fire Element, blue representing Water Element, cyan representing Wind Element, purple representing Lightning Element, green representing Grass Element, brilliant white representing Ice Element, and gleaming gold representing Geo Element.

At this moment, Lin Feng was like a Black Hole, frantically devouring the elemental energy around him. The ten diamond-shaped crystals lit up one after another without any obstruction.

Only the final crystal, the one representing Geo Element, remained stuck halfway, unable to break through for a long while...

Seeing this, Ying Suifeng was somewhat disappointed. "So close. He was almost born with full spiritual power..."

Watching the crystals light up so quickly, he had even briefly thought Lin Feng's spiritual power might break through one hundred points.

If anyone else knew what he was thinking, they would surely say he was insane. No one in this world had ever achieved one hundred points of spiritual power.

Even Cai'er's Innate Inner Spiritual Power was only 93 points.

"Forget it. An Innate Inner Spiritual Power of 95 is already enough to make him a peerless genius. I never expected that our Assassin Temple would gain two Children of Reincarnation in one year." As he spoke, Ying Suifeng did not hide his joy at all. The further he went on, the more unrestrainedly he laughed.

But just as he was about to end it.

Lin Feng suddenly interrupted, "Wait. Have you heard of Ka Ban Yan?"

"Ka Ban Yan?" Ying Suifeng asked in confusion.

But the instant his words fell.

Clang! The crystal that had been stuck halfway was suddenly filled with Geo Element.

100 points of Innate Inner Spiritual Power!!!

Watching the final crystal light up, Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction.

Only after the array vanished and Lin Feng walked over to Cai'er did Ying Suifeng finally recover from his shock.

His figure vanished. When he reappeared, both hands were already gripping Lin Feng's shoulders.

He asked excitedly, "Are you willing to become my disciple?"

Lin Feng nodded. "But I have two conditions."

"Fine. Forget two—even if you have three, I'll agree to them."

"Then three."

Ying Suifeng: "..."

"Fine. Go on."
