Holy Knight!

Hearing the boy's voice, the purple-haired girl showed no interest at all, as if she hadn't heard him.

After putting away the herbs in his hands, the cute little boy with long black hair hurried after her.

"The mountains are really dangerous. There are even magical beasts—!"

Stopping in her tracks, the purple-haired girl once again drew her purple dagger and held it against the boy's throat.

Seeing the purple dagger at his neck, the boy swallowed the words that had reached his lips.

Thud!

The purple-haired girl's legs gave out, and she collapsed to the ground. Purple claw marks had appeared on her calf, seemingly carrying traces of poison.

"I'll treat you right away."

As he spoke, Long Haochen pulled out a bottle of Foundation Building Liquid from his pocket.

Seeing the Foundation Building Liquid, the purple-haired girl frowned tightly. Cold sweat appeared beside her cheeks from the pain, and she waved her hand to refuse Long Haochen's kindness.

A burst of purple light flickered, originating from the ring on the purple-haired girl's middle finger.

Above the forest where the Wolf Demons had been wiped out, a middle-aged man dressed in Knight Temple attire floated in midair.

"An energy that has never appeared before... It isn't spiritual energy... nor is it divine power. Who could it be?"

The middle-aged man furrowed his brows in confusion.

Outside the gates of the Knight Temple, Zijun stood with his hands behind his back, examining the Knight Temple while dressed in a White Jade Robe.

With a worried expression, Zijun sighed. He regretted his sudden decision more and more.

"Ah... If I'd known, I would have asked more clearly before coming. By the way, System, what's the time difference between this world's flow of time and Douluo Continent's?"

[Don't worry! Before the host transmigrated, this system had already slowed down the flow of time in the Douluo World.]

[If you stay here for half a year, only half a day will pass over there.]

Giving a thumbs-up, Zijun could not help but admire it.

"You really are something. You thought things through much more thoroughly than I did."

[Of course! o(︶︿︶)o]

More than ten minutes later, a disdainful voice came from inside the Knight Temple.

"You're twelve and still haven't awakened? You should just give up. Perhaps the path of a knight isn't suited for you."

The guard stationed at the entrance of the main hall looked Zijun over with contempt.

Hearing the commotion at the entrance, Instructor Balza walked over.

"This is the Knight Temple, not some roadside market! What kind of behavior is this, making such a racket!"

A stern, vigorous voice rang out. Looking in the direction of the voice—

A long-haired middle-aged man wearing white armor approached.

"Reporting to Instructor Balza, he is a child who came to the Holy Temple for an awakening. But he is somewhat older, so I refused his request."

After hearing the full story, Balza examined the extraordinary-looking Zijun before him.

After watching him for a moment, he said in a low voice.

"As long as he has not awakened spiritual energy before, he has a chance of becoming a knight. His age does not matter. What matters most is his heart! Do not make this mistake again."

The guard nodded respectfully, then turned around and resumed his duty outside the hall.

Balza led Zijun into the Holy Temple and brought him before the instrument used to test spiritual energy.

Flicking the cape behind him, Balza turned to stare at Zijun and explained solemnly.

"This is an instrument for testing spiritual energy. You only need to attack it. Once the light sphere displays a value above 10, you can become a knight!"

Zijun raised his eyes to inspect the testing instrument. When he inadvertently glanced at the Foundation Building Liquid beside it, he asked inwardly.

System, tell me the truth. Do I even have spiritual energy right now?

[The host only needs to drink a bottle of Foundation Building Liquid to find out.]

Didn't you call yourself the Myriad Worlds Invincible System? Is this how you're invincible across the myriad worlds?

[This system is currently in its second stage and cannot unlock items from the myriad worlds.]

[Some sections of the shop can only be unlocked by the host. The system has no way to unlock them.]

Damn it! Max out my level right now!

[Impossible! This system's third stage requires fifty thousand years to autonomously repair some functions before Faction Points can be used to unlock it!]

There really isn't any other way?

[There is! Fuse ten Godheads to level up once!]

You've really got some nerve saying that!

Exiting the system, Zijun raised his hand and pointed at the Foundation Building Liquid on the shelf.

"How about we make a deal?"

Hearing Zijun's strange words, Balza furrowed his brows in confusion.

Following the direction of his finger, Balza glanced at the Foundation Building Liquid on the shelf. After thinking for a moment, he turned back to Zijun.

He waved his hand to summon the guards, intending to throw him out. Noticing Balza's intentions, Zijun immediately used the power of space!

Two pale-blue translucent longswords plunged into the ground, blocking the guards' path!

Seeing this scene, Balza froze for a moment! Recovering his senses, he walked up to Zijun excitedly.

"You're a Summoner, aren't you?!"

Hearing "Summoner," Zijun's brows creased with confusion. He immediately turned to the system for a crash course on this world's background.

System! What's a Summoner?

[I forgot to tell the host. This world has six major mainstream professions: Assassin, Warrior, Mage, Priest, Summoner, and knight!]

[Summoners can summon magical beasts to assist them in battle! But they must first undergo Divine Awakening.]

Oh~! Now I get it.

Clenching his fist near his mouth, Zijun coughed and spouted nonsense with a serious expression.

"That's right. I also awakened early by accident. I came this time to check my spiritual energy. I heard there was a place nearby that tested spiritual energy, so I came over."

That was not exactly a lie. Zijun had indeed asked around all the way here before learning that the Knight Temple could awaken spiritual energy.

After hearing Zijun's explanation, Balza nodded. The facts were right before him, and he had no choice but to believe it.

Dropping his stern expression, he smiled, took the Foundation Building Liquid from the shelf, and warmly offered it to him.

"Here! This is Foundation Building Liquid. Consider it a personal gift from me."

Taking the Foundation Building Liquid Balza handed him, Zijun did not hesitate. Suppressing the joy in his heart, he opened the bottle and drained it in one gulp.

[Foundation Building Liquid entry unlocked. Detailed information can be obtained in the shop! Price: 5 Faction Points.]

Ding!

[Congratulations, host, on obtaining spiritual energy! Innate full spiritual energy, Level 100! Congratulations, host, on becoming a Knight Squire!]

Ding!

[Congratulations, host, on unlocking the Knight Experience Card entry! Price: 10 billion Faction Points!]

A string of system notifications rang out, and Zijun threw back his head in excited laughter.

After stopping his laughter, Zijun lowered his head to look at his hands and thought excitedly.

Purchase and use the Holy Knight Experience Card!

[Deduction successful! In use... Absorption successful! Congratulations, host, on advancing to Holy Knight!]

Rumble!

A pillar of light descended from the sky! Its immense power blasted the entire Knight Temple into a pile of ruins!

Balza, who had been closest to Zijun, was sent flying hundreds of meters away by the terrifying force!

Pfft!

A streak of scarlet spilled from his mouth. Half-kneeling atop the ruins, Balza was so terrified by the sight before him that his soul nearly left his body!

His eyes were wide open! His black-and-white eyes trembled faintly!

Outside the main hall, sensing an unfamiliar yet powerful spiritual energy, the Divine Seal Knight Long Xingyu rushed over!

Boom!

Within an ancient hall, the dilapidated, dim, mysterious throne seated at the center of the other Divine Seal Thrones suddenly stirred!

A blinding radiance flashed from within it!

A terrifying pressure filled the entire hall!

"A... a new Holy Knight has appeared!"

At the Knight Temple branch, atop the ruins, Balza and Long Xingyu exclaimed in shock at the same time.
