Divine Seal: From a Heavy Sword to Slicing Through the Holy Demon Continent

Human figures interacted under the blue sky and white clouds, accompanied by the sounds of clashing weapons.

The heavy, panting sounds, like those of an old ox, foreshadowed the fierce battle taking place here.

After an unknown amount of time, Long Haoyu stood in place, supporting himself with one hand on his heavy sword.

Before him, his shadow was chopped down and fell to the ground.

Large beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, and Long Haoyu grinned: "After being killed so many times, I've finally been killed by you, Instructor."

The shadow instructor remained silent, but the system's notification echoed throughout the shadow space.

[Congratulations, host, on successfully overcoming your current stage. The system's question-and-answer mechanism is now being activated.]

"System, are you serious?" Long Haoyu asked.

[What questions do you have, host?]

"I'm a time traveler, I've already traveled through time, and you still want me to answer questions?" Long Haoyu was a little confused.

【…】

[System Q&A mechanism successfully activated!]

[Please select the type of knight you wish to become!]

A: Retribution Paladin

B: Guardian Knight

C: Dual-Cultivation Knight

Chapter 2: The Punishing Knight, the Heavy Sword Has No Edge!

The formal loading of the system's question-and-answer mechanism inexplicably put Long Haoyu at ease.

Faced with the choice of three knights, he had a general idea of ​​what to do with them.

The moment the system awakened, his talent was already at its maximum.

Long Haochen's unawakened innate spiritual power is 97, while his innate spiritual power has already reached 100.

Whether he is a punishment knight, a guardian knight, or a dual-wielding knight, he has absolute confidence in mastering and reaching the pinnacle of his chosen path.

But the existence of the shadow space includes the 'perfect' shadow instructor who is exactly the same as him at every stage.

The choice has already been made for him without his noticing.

"Although my cheap old man told Haochen that the benefits of dual cultivation are definitely greater, that cannot be the basis for my judgment."

"System, I choose A."

Long Haoyu made the decision with great composure, based on his own judgment, without being influenced by any external factors.

Even though his younger brother Long Haochen succeeded on the path of dual cultivation knight in the original work, that was not the real peak.

The true pinnacle still requires following the path of the Retribution Knight, using ultimate power to sweep away everything.

For example, when his younger brother's future blood pact partner grows to its complete form.

Only with extreme power can one deliver a powerful blow directly.

As the ancients said, studying medicine cannot save the Holy Demon Continent.

[Congratulations, host, on completing your future planning!]

[Congratulations, host, on choosing to become a Retribution Knight!]

[Based on the host's selection, the cultivation space will match you with the most suitable cultivation location!]

boom! boom! boom!

Loud explosions echoed through the shadow space.

Long Haoyu dodged far away and looked at the shadow space that was undergoing earth-shattering changes.

A massive six-pointed star magic circle wove together in the azure sky, and a towering stone pillar burst forth from the ground.

Soon, two stone pillars appeared in the shadow space, located on the left and right sides of his position.

On each of the two stone pillars, there are bold and powerful characters imprinted on them.

Left stone pillar: Take life and death lightly!

The stone pillar on the right: If you're not convinced, then fight!

Subsequently, Long Haoyu also clearly saw the large characters branded on the stone pillars behind these two pillars.

Each stone pillar is engraved with the principles that a punitive knight should uphold under the system's judgment.

"This system is even more unique than me!"

"Should I say, as expected of my system?"

Long Haoyu clicked his tongue in amazement. For a moment, he suddenly realized that this system was quite to his liking.

He chose the path of the Retribution Knight because he valued its ruthless nature.

The so-called protection means ensuring that teammates can receive immediate support when they encounter danger, allowing them to fight calmly and without panic.

However, if we put ourselves in their shoes, even if there are enough powerful Retribution Knights to wipe out all the enemies, we can still uphold the way of protection.

In fact, this is the best way to protect.

The best protection is to ensure that your teammates never have the chance to be in danger.

The system's modifications to the shadow space were exactly to his liking.

[The training grounds for Retribution Knights have been successfully upgraded!]

[Detection indicates that the host has obtained the Knight's Greatsword through the New Player Gift Pack. The host is currently undergoing the activation of the Knight's Greatsword!]

"A greatsword awakened? My dog-chewed greatsword is indeed extraordinary?"

Long Haoyu looked down at the dark, heavy sword in his hand, lost in thought.

After receiving this greatsword from the newbie gift pack, he still didn't understand what its purpose was.

Even when used to chop bones, people are afraid that the bones will get stuck in the gaps and won't be of any use. Any normal person would look at it with disgust.

But the system's sudden special notification undoubtedly piqued his curiosity.

[Spiritual awakening successful!]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the exclusive Punisher's Greatsword - Edgeless!]

The dark, heavy sword had changed slightly.

Long Haoyu noticed a subtle change in the dog-chewed nick on the heavy sword.

Although it wasn't very obvious, he had been meticulously polishing the heavy sword these past few days and had still noticed something.

"Is awakening something that repairs only a small gap?"

"This system suits my taste, but being stingy doesn't seem to be my style, and the aesthetics of these weapons are definitely not my style either."

"And I remember that a Retribution Knight should have two greatswords. Is the system just planning to get rid of me with this one greatsword?"

Long Haoyu looked at the heavy sword in his hand with some disdain, feeling a strange and indescribable feeling in his heart.

"Greetings, Master! I am Wufeng!"

Suddenly, a clear, childlike voice rang in Long Haoyu's ears.

The dark, heavy sword underwent a transformation, and a small creature resembling a black dog egg materialized from its blade.

It's about the size of a palm, and if it weren't for its eyes and nose, it would really look like a small lump of coal at first glance.

"Sword Spirit?"

"Is this what 'spirit awakening' means?"

Long Haoyu was somewhat surprised. He remembered that in the original story, the Hibiscus of Light that his younger brother obtained had a sword spirit.

The heavy sword I got from the system's newbie gift pack, which was mediocre in appearance, shape, and power, actually had a sword spirit.

"Yes, Master, I am the sword spirit of the heavy sword Wufeng, so I am also called Wufeng."

The little black coal ball tilted its head, blinked its eyes, and answered crisply.

Long Haoyu stared at the black coal ball again and again, relying on his absolute eyesight to make out the neck that he had almost ignored, and only then did he realize that the black coal ball did indeed tilt its head.

"If I remember correctly, any weapon with a sword spirit is a rare find in the world."

"Little Coal Ball, you say you're a sword spirit? Does that mean my greatsword, called the Edgeless Sword, can also grow stronger as my power increases?"

Long Haoyu asked in a low voice, his sharp gaze fixed on the black coal ball, somewhat anticipating the answer to come.

"Wu Feng can grow, and I will grow along with Wu Feng. No matter what strength you reach, Master, I can become your best helper."

"Next, I will introduce Wu Feng's specific abilities to you, Master."

The black coal ball's voice was still crisp, and its tilted little head straightened up again. It flew to Long Haoyu's side on its own initiative.

The dark little head pressed against Long Haoyu's forehead, and all the information about the Heavy Sword Without Edge was engraved deep into his mind in this way.

Long Haoyu's eyes widened slightly as he carefully processed the information Black Coal Ball had given him.

System, I admit I was a little too loud just now.

You're not stingy at all; you're more generous than anyone else!

Your aesthetic sense is absolutely flawless!

Long Haoyu was somewhat unsettled, and his grip on the heavy sword tightened involuntarily.

Through the information transmitted by the black coal ball, he fully understood just how extraordinary the heavy sword in his hand truly was.

It really is...

Products produced by the system must be of high quality.

With such a unique knight's greatsword in hand.

He, Long Haoyu, is a born knight of retribution, and an unprecedented one at that.
