Light Blessing

The group arrived at the place in the Haoyue Branch Hall set aside for awakenings.

Since today was not a scheduled group awakening day, there were no outsiders in the awakening chamber.

Unlike Martial Soul Awakening on the Douluo Continent, internal spiritual power awakening and Sacred Awakening on the Holy Demon Continent did not require a formation. Instead, they used an Awakening Stone as a foundation, with a sufficiently powerful knight guiding the process through his own sacred light attribute.

Ye Hua controlled his spiritual power, guiding Qian Renxue through her Sacred Awakening.

Jiang Li watched from the side the entire time, still somewhat worried that some other unforeseen development might occur.

As a dazzling white light appeared, Qian Renxue was enveloped in the power of sacred light the very next moment, with even Ye Hua and Jiang Li caught within it.

"This is..."

Sensing the sacred light power roaming between heaven and earth pouring ceaselessly into his body, Jiang Li felt a surge of joy. Without sparing a thought for the precise cause of this change, he hurriedly sat cross-legged and began meditating.

By the time Jiang Li opened his eyes again, an hour had already passed.

Has my talent improved further?

Carefully sensing the changes in himself, Jiang Li was filled with delight.

Although his strength had not changed much, he could feel that he had undergone a fundamental transformation. It was a change in his innate internal spiritual power, an improvement in his talent.

If his previous talent had amounted to around eleven or twelve points of innate internal spiritual power, then now his innate internal spiritual power was at least around twenty-five or twenty-six points. Moreover, this change had not settled and was still slowly improving; moreover, this change had not settled and was still slowly improving.

Steadying his mind and suppressing his excitement, Jiang Li hurriedly looked toward Qian Renxue.

After all, the Sacred Awakening exclusive to knights posed a certain degree of risk to Qian Renxue.

Besides that, he also wanted to know what level Qian Renxue's innate internal spiritual power had reached.

Looking up, he saw that both Qian Renxue and his teacher, Ye Hua, were still meditating.

What puzzled Jiang Li was why there was a trace of blood at the corner of his teacher's mouth, as though he had just fought a great battle and suffered severe injuries.

He did not know that during Qian Renxue's Sacred Awakening, she had triggered a phenomenon in heaven and earth, her innate internal spiritual power reaching as high as 99. As the person guiding the awakening of Qian Renxue's internal spiritual power, Ye Hua had endured crushing pressure and had nearly fainted on the spot during the awakening.

Had Long Haochen's father not displayed his Divine Throne here several years ago, thereby intimidating some of the Demon Race and killing or driving away the powerful demons around Haoyue City, a disturbance this great would certainly have drawn the attention of the demon gods.

Meanwhile, many people had already gathered outside the awakening chamber.

Both Hall Master Nalan Shu and another Fifth Order powerhouse had gathered outside the awakening chamber, but neither dared enter rashly at this moment.

They, too, had endured the pressure of that phenomenon just now.

Thus, they felt somewhat uneasy, uncertain of just what was inside the awakening chamber.

Long Haochen had also brought his mount, Haoyue, to the awakening chamber.

Just now, he had clearly sensed a sacred light power no weaker than his own, and vaguely even a little stronger. An instinctive attraction had drawn him here.

"Teacher is about to break through!"

Sensing the turbulence in the spiritual power between heaven and earth and watching Ye Hua's aura gradually strengthen, Jiang Li was deeply surprised.

His teacher was a Fifth-Order Knight, and a Fifth Order Sky Knight at that. His spiritual power had been stuck at 3,000 points for many years.

He had never been able to advance any further.

Now, through conducting Qian Renxue's Sacred Awakening, he had actually broken his shackles.

Although he had not broken straight through to the Sixth Order, it was still a breakthrough that shattered his bottleneck.

"This... how could this happen?"

Naturally, Jiang Li was happy about his teacher's breakthrough, but his exclamation was more one of puzzlement.

No matter how talented Qian Renxue was, she should not have been able to improve the strength of the person helping her awaken.

His own improvement and transformation could be attributed to Qian Renxue being his mount and the Equal Contract between them, but what had caused his teacher's breakthrough and improvement?

After all, even Long Haochen, as the Child of Light, did not possess such a wondrous ability to help others improve their strength, did he?

Jiang Li grew increasingly curious about this.

Still, it was ultimately a good thing. Although it was all rather muddled, whatever the case, his teacher had grown stronger.

As for the precise reason behind it, he would wait until his own strength improved further and he had time to study and ponder it.

"Perhaps a Light Angel God really did once exist on this continent!"

Just then, Qian Renxue finished meditating and could not help murmuring softly.

"You successfully awakened your attributes. Have there been any changes in you?"

Seeing Qian Renxue wake, Jiang Li hurriedly asked.

"The awakening did succeed."

"As for changes, does a fundamental improvement in the attributes of my Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul count? Especially the light attribute. Previously, the light attribute was more something encompassed by the sacred attribute, and its quality was inferior to the sacred attribute. But now, the sacred and light attributes have separated, and the light attribute has undergone a fundamental improvement, bringing it more or less on par with the sacred attribute."

"As for changes, I seem to have received a blessing from the Light Angel God, gaining a skill called Light Blessing. This skill fused with my martial soul, producing a very mysterious feeling. As for what exactly it is, I still need to study it further."

Speaking softly, Qian Renxue told Jiang Li the specific changes she had undergone, then activated Martial Soul Possession.

Only after sensing that Qian Renxue's martial soul still contained the fire attribute, which had not dissolved because of the Sacred Awakening, did Jiang Li breathe a sigh of relief.

As for Jiang Li's teacher's breakthrough and the further improvement in Jiang Li's own talent, they were very likely connected to the Light Blessing Qian Renxue had mentioned.

It seemed that this Light Angel God really had once existed.

"How much innate internal spiritual power do you have?"

This was something Jiang Li was also quite curious about.

With Qian Renxue's talent, just how high could her innate internal spiritual power reach?

He wondered how it compared with Long Haochen's.

"99 points!"

When this came up, Qian Renxue was still somewhat dissatisfied.

It was not a hundred after all.

After all, her talent had always been what she took the most pride in.

"Only 99 points?"

Although Jiang Li was somewhat puzzled by this answer, after thinking it over carefully, it seemed quite reasonable.

On the Douluo Continent, Qian Renxue had possessed level 20 innate soul power. By that logic, she should have had 200 points of innate internal spiritual power.

But that was clearly impossible.

After all, ten levels of her innate soul power had been bestowed by a god. Strictly speaking, they were not part of her own talent.

On top of that, the rules of the two planes differed.

Without the enhancement of the Angel God's divine status, Qian Renxue could only be considered a descendant of the Angel God. With her still-mortal body, Jiang Li had conservatively guessed that even 95 points of innate internal spiritual power would have been impressive.

Barring anything unexpected, her 99 points of innate internal spiritual power were related to Qian Renxue's own martial soul cultivation, a product of her bloodline having already been unleashed.

"What do you intend to do about the people outside?"

While Jiang Li was pondering, Qian Renxue spoke softly, a trace of coldness in her voice.
