Beginning Awakening

Stepping out of Ye Hua's quarters, Yang Tian felt refreshed and walked as if floating on air.

Compared to the medicinal baths he had soaked in over the past two years, this was simply incomparable.

However, Yang Tian also understood Ye Hua's good intentions and held even greater respect for this teacher.

Returning to the dormitory!

"You're back, where on earth have you been all day? The squire classes haven't even started yet, and you've been missing all day long!"

Seeing Yang Tian return, Li Xin asked out of concern.

Well, mostly out of curiosity.

Apart from eating, she had spent the entire day doing nothing else; anyway, she was already more than familiar with every inch of the Haoyue Branch Hall.

"Just some personal matters!"

Yang Tian replied indifferently, then walked straight over to the bed, collapsed, and fell fast asleep.

Li Xin stared, somewhat stunned.

"You haven't even taken a bath yet, aren't you afraid of smelling!"

Li Xin called out, but unfortunately, Yang Tian had already drifted off to dreamland.

Though his first Marrow Cleansing had left him feeling refreshed, the torment he endured during the process was extraordinarily intense.

Therefore, Yang Tian quickly slipped into deep slumber.

This nap was the most comfortable sleep Yang Tian had ever experienced, and he even felt as if he were floating!

"What on earth did this blockhead go out to do? He looked energetic, so why did he just collapse and fall asleep without even taking a shower!"

Li Xin muttered as she looked at the heavily sleeping Yang Tian.

The reason Yang Tian didn't bother to wash was simply because he had already washed once, and thoroughly at that!

All the impurities inside his body had been purged, only Li Xin had no idea.

His breathing was steady and rhythmic, expanding and contracting as wisps of spiritual qi were drawn into his body.

The night passed!

The next day arrived.

This time, Yang Tian woke up right on schedule according to his well-worn biological clock.

Wash up, train!

"Today is the day my internal spiritual power awakens. I wonder if I can reach seventy points of innate internal spiritual power!"

After finishing his training, Yang Tian pondered.

An innate internal spiritual power reaching seventy points was known as the Light Angel Constitution.

If he met this standard, reaching the eighth tier in the future would be effortless, though breaking through to the ninth tier would still require destiny.

And Long Xingyu seemed to possess talent at precisely this level.

An innate internal spiritual power reaching eighty points was known as the Divine Blessing Constitution. Such a constitution was recorded only three times in the entire Holy Temple.

Aside from the two who had fallen, the one who survived had achieved a Divine Seal.

Talent was crucial.

Ninety-nine percent perspiration could only match one percent of talent.

Therefore, Yang Tian's expectations for his internal spiritual power weren't excessively high; anything above seventy would suffice!

However, was that even possible?

"Yang Tian!" Right then, Ye Hua's voice rang out, interrupting Yang Tian's wandering thoughts.

Next came breakfast.

Another round of the medicinal bath!

Once unfamiliar, twice familiar-this second time was not nearly as painful as the first, and it even felt somewhat enjoyable.

However, after soaking in that medicinal bath, a layer of impurities once again surfaced on his skin.

Meditating inside the wooden tub to absorb the medicinal efficacy, half a day passed in the blink of an eye.

At last, the medicinal potency faded, and this soak finally came to an end.

Only!

The third floor of the Haoyue Branch Hall!

He finally set foot upon this highest level.

"Such dense Light Element!" Thanks to his comprehension of elements, Yang Tian immediately noticed the anomaly here.

The ceiling was a circular architectural dome.

Yet, an advanced Spirit Gathering Array-the most powerful in the entire Haoyue Branch Hall-had actually been laid out here.

"Haha, child, you can feel it too, can't you? Our only faith as knights is light. This place discards all other elements, gathering nothing but pure Light Element!"

"Those who pass the squire assessment are all highly valued by us. This third floor is specifically used for awakening."

"The Holy Temple supports both the main temple and the Branch Temples, sparing no effort to unearth more talent. Now that the Demon Race is running rampant, only by growing stronger generation after generation can we drive the darkness from humanity and let the light return to the mortal world!"

Glancing at the awestruck Yang Tian, Nalan Shu spoke earnestly.

These structures were truly built with massive investments from the Holy Temple.

The Spirit Gathering Array alone was constructed from materials worth tens of thousands.

"Mn, let the light return to the mortal world!"

Undeniably, the arrival of the Seventy-Two Demon Gods had dealt a devastating blow, forcing humanity into a narrow crevice to struggle for survival.

Even knowing the role of the Seventy-Two Demon Gods, without the emergence of Austin Griffin, humanity still stood no chance of subduing the demon race.

Not even if another Child of Light appeared!

The Assassin Temple, the Warrior Temple, the Soul Temple, and all the other holy temples had seen their fair share of brilliantly gifted prodigies.

The Child of Reincarnation!

Light Sword God Ye Wushang...

And today, the Demon God Emperor had reached an insurmountable realm!

A million-tier god, a Demon God Emperor who had broken through one million points of spiritual power.

Even wielding the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation made it hard to shake him, especially since the opponent was also amplified by a great divine artifact like the First Demon God Pillar.

"Mn, it certainly will! Through the efforts of generation after generation, we will eventually eradicate the demon race!"

Ye Hua also nodded, evidently harboring a deep hatred for the demon race.

A war spanning thousands of years had ruined countless families at the hands of the Demon Race, leaving behind so many orphans!

Yang Tian nodded.

Toward the demon race, he felt merely a sense of repulsion rather than overwhelming hatred.

After all, those of the Demon Race rampaging across every strategic pass and fortress were nothing more than cannon fodder.

"Alright, Yang Tian, adjust yourself once more. Keep your heart sincere, and bear firmly in mind the Ten Rules and your faith in the light!"

"Guard your faith, guard humanity, guard the Holy Temple, guard your family!"

In the end, Ye Hua offered a reminder.

This was the most crucial part: the sole element of a knight was light, and steadfastness toward light meant steadfastness toward a knight's faith.

"Yes, Teacher!"

Yang Tian nodded in response.

Then, looking toward Ye Hua, he said resolutely: "Teacher, before my internal spiritual power awakens, I want to state my choice. I want to become a Guardian Knight in the future, I want to choose Retribution!"

Ye Hua and Nalan Shu were both momentarily taken aback.

Ye Hua finally nodded and said: "A teacher respects your choice. Even if you chose to be a Retribution Knight, I would still teach you the knowledge of a Retribution Knight!"

Yang Tian then respectfully executed a bow.

Yang Tian wanted to guard the light in his heart and protect the people he cherished most!

Finally, he crossed his legs on the clean floor and began to meditate.

That dense Light Element immediately converged upon Yang Tian.

Suddenly, that beautiful woman whose face remained obscured appeared once more. She was as gentle as ever, sheltering him like a mother!

In the blink of an eye, two hours passed.

Yang Tian felt his state was better than ever, tinged with a trace of faint nervousness.

After all, this innate internal spiritual power would determine his future path.

"Are you ready?" Looking at the waking Yang Tian, Ye Hua asked.

"Mn, I'm ready, Teacher!" Yang Tian also respectfully replied.

Yet he remained nervous; a moderate amount of tension could actually help a person perform beyond their normal limits!

This should be a good thing.

Ye Hua then glanced sideways at Nalan Shu and bluntly said: "Fatty, this time we must act together, channeling the Sun Fire to help Yang Tian refine the Awakening Stone!"

Nalan Shu gave a helpless smile.

"Alright, I hope we succeed, and I also hope this child Yang Tian can amaze us once again!"

Ye Hua nodded and said: "Let's begin!"
