Awakening

Night fell heavily, and the stars grew dim.

Beneath the moonlit sky, Jiang Feng raced like the wind through a pitch-black forest, covered in blood. Even his sleek black hair had been stained red.

Yet his handsome face remained defiant, and his eyes, bright as stars, shone with resolve.

He looked no more than thirteen or fourteen, with delicate, youthful features and a slender build.

He wore bright silver light knight armor and held a knight's longsword in each hand.

Ahead of Jiang Feng were two boys and a girl, all young. Weapons in hand, they fled at full speed, their faces filled with panic.

"Roar!"

A thunderous tiger's roar erupted behind Jiang Feng. The wind shrieked as a massive beast pursued them.

A wave of heat washed over him, and Jiang Feng could not help looking back. The peak level-five magical beast, a Redflame Tiger, had already closed in, its enormous jaws gaping as it lunged to bite him, savage and terrifying.

Cold sweat broke out all over Jiang Feng, and fear spread through his heart.

The next instant, a powerful tiger paw tipped with sharp claws struck him. The blow hit Jiang Feng like a thunderbolt. The armor on his back shattered instantly, flesh and blood flew, and even his spine snapped.

Bang!

Jiang Feng tumbled through the air for over ten meters and slammed into a tree before dropping to the ground, motionless and without a trace of life.

Hearing the commotion behind them, the two boys and the girl who had been running ahead of Jiang Feng turned around. The gruesome sight filled them with horror and fury.

Jiang Feng lay motionless in a pool of blood, while the level-five Redflame Tiger opened its jaws to tear him apart.

"Bastard!" The girl was beside herself with rage. She wore a pale blue mage's robe and held a slender staff.

She chanted spell after spell and flicked her staff, sending countless Ice Blades sweeping toward the Redflame Tiger.

The two boys beside her hesitated at the sight, but ultimately stopped.

Both wore heavy armor. One held a pair of axes, while the other carried a shield, and they began their attack.

As Jiang Feng lay in his pool of blood, his consciousness sank into a deep ocean. Just as he was about to sink forever, a voice rang out in his mind.

Ding! System loaded successfully. Memories of your previous life have been integrated. Hello, host. I am your system.

System? Jiang Feng felt a flood of unfamiliar memories suddenly pour into his mind. He seemed to remember something.

Jiang Feng had originally been a boy from Blue Star who had accidentally transmigrated into the world of Divine Throne.

Now, years later, Jiang Feng faced certain death. He had never expected to bond with a system and awaken the memories of his previous life.

Divine Throne!

Those words brought to Jiang Feng's mind the six-thousand-year struggle between humans and the Demon Race, along with one thrilling, passionate story after another.

Ding! This system is called the Strongest Knight Battle System. Its purpose is to train the host to become the strongest knight...

As the system explained, Jiang Feng gradually came to understand its various functions.

After each of Jiang Feng's battles, the system would evaluate his performance and calculate his battle rewards, awarding him a corresponding number of system coins. These could be used to purchase goods in the shop, learn skills, and upgrade skills.

The system's scanning function also cost system coins to use.

The system had two interfaces: the system shop, which was not yet unlocked, and the personal panel.

"System, open my personal panel."

Ding! Personal panel opened:

Host: Jiang Feng.

Age: 13.

Innate Spiritual Power: 80.

Class: Tier-three, level-two knight.

Spiritual power rating: 235 (internal spiritual power), 200 (external spiritual power).

Skills: Pure White Blade (tier two), Cross Slash (tier two), Spirit Light Barrier (tier three), Light Slash Sword (tier three), Ascension Array (tier three), Sunlight Slash (tier four), Holy Light Barrier (tier four).

Spirit Furnace: None.

Special physique: divine blessing physique.

Jiang Feng skimmed his personal information. He was a thirteen-year-old tier-three, level-two knight, with innate internal spiritual power as high as eighty and a divine blessing physique.

Although his cultivation talent could not compare to Long Haochen, the favored child of destiny, it was safe to say that among the younger generation of the current Knight Temple, no one else had higher Innate Spiritual Power than he did.

Jiang Feng was very satisfied with this starting point, but he had no time to dwell on it. He was already lying in a pool of blood with his bones smashed.

"System, do you have a beginner's gift pack or something?" Jiang Feng asked.

Beginner's gift pack issued. Would the host like to open it?

"Open it."

Congratulations! The host has obtained the physique: undying body lv1 (inactive).

Undying body lv1: Effect one-constantly absorbs spiritual power from the world to temper the physical body and increase external spiritual power, up to a limit of 3,000.

Effect two-grants exceptional self-healing ability. As long as the physical body remains intact, physical injuries can heal at the fastest possible speed.

Undying body! Jiang Feng checked the information and was overjoyed. The system really delivered, giving its host such a wonderful surprise right from the start.

It was practically setting Jiang Feng on the path of a tank. It was hard to imagine the astonishing sight he would make on the battlefield against the Demon Race in the future, fighting fearlessly with his undying body and never worrying about getting hurt.

Throughout history, human professionals had always been physically weaker than magical beasts and the Demon Race. In other words, their gains in external spiritual power were nowhere near proportional to their gains in internal spiritual power.

Among human professionals, knights and warriors had the strongest bodies, followed by assassins. Mages, summoners, and priests were all fragile.

Thus, once a mage suffered a close-range attack from the Demon Race on the battlefield, survival was difficult.

Human professionals had to rely on fine weapons and equipment when fighting members of the Demon Race at the same level. With his undying body, however, Jiang Feng could largely free himself from relying on his armor's defensive strength.

The continuous increase in external spiritual power granted by his undying body would make Jiang Feng's flesh as tough as armor.

Once he had a basic understanding of the system's functions, Jiang Feng was desperate to wake up, because his companions were still fighting.

Jiang Feng knew perfectly well that the three of them were no match for a peak level-five Redflame Tiger.

If they became trapped in the fight and could not escape, they might truly die.

Ding! The host's life signs are fading. Activating undying body for the host. Activation successful. Congratulations! The host's external spiritual power has increased to 2,000.

Jiang Feng's consciousness returned to his body. He felt an immense, warm power suddenly pour into him. The horrific wound on his back was healing visibly, as though every cell in his flesh had been strengthened.

Ding! Undying body is reconstructing your physical body. Reconstruction successful. Please continue your battle.
