On a forest path in the wilderness of Odin Town, on the Holy Demon Continent.

A young man dressed in coarse cloth with a long wooden sword at his waist was walking down the mountain path.

He was nearly 1.7 meters tall, with a handsome face and a steady, unwavering breath.

However, the wooden sword was stained crimson with unknown blood, and unless one looked closely, no one would be able to tell that it was a wooden sword.

"Sigh, it's been over a year since my innate spiritual power awakened, and my spiritual power has only just broken through 500. My cultivation speed is a bit slow!"

"Actually, thinking about it, it's not bad. With my innate five points of inner spiritual power, and now that my spiritual power has exceeded five hundred, I'm afraid quite a few people will be eyeing me!"

"It's just that continuing to improve at such a rapid pace will be difficult. I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in Odin Town any longer!"

On the path, the boy muttered something to himself. If others had overheard him, they would have been utterly shocked.

This person looks to be only ten years old, but he has the strength of the fourth rank. No normal person would find it abnormal.

But he was different. His name was Qi Tian, ​​and he was a transmigrator. His father was a fifth-tier knight of the Knight Temple, and his mother was a fifth-tier priest of the Priest Temple. Both of them were members of the Demon Hunter Corps.

Unfortunately, he was wiped out during a mission, and like other transmigrators, he became an orphan. He grew up under the care of the Knight Temple, and his external spiritual power successfully broke through to one hundred at the age of nine.

In the eyes of others, he will become the next generation's prodigy of the Knights Temple.

However, his good fortune was short-lived. When he attempted to awaken his inner spiritual power, he only had five points of innate inner spiritual power.

Everyone knows what it means to have only five points of innate spiritual power.

Moreover, the first kill of different levels of magical beasts and demons increases one's inner spiritual power more.

After awakening the system, Qi Tian did not return to the Holy City, since the Holy City was not conducive to his cultivation using the system.

So Qi Tian followed the original plan and came to Odin Town. Taking advantage of his age, he often taught Long Haochen how to cultivate and built a good relationship with him.

He spends most of his time cultivating by searching for animals and magical beasts in the wild.

Over the course of nearly two years, he traversed the insect nests surrounding Odin Town, killing hundreds of millions of ants, rats, and insect swarms.

Unfortunately, apart from the first ant, Qi Tian absorbed less and less spiritual energy from killing animals afterward, from one point for every ten animals to one point for every hundred, one point for every thousand, and one point for every ten thousand.

With each increase in his strength, the absorption effect of ordinary animals drops tenfold. Now that he has broken through to the fourth rank and wants to advance to the fifth rank, there are no more animals around Odin Town that he can kill.

As for monsters, their levels are too far below his, and their effects are not much better than those of ordinary animals.

After more than a year of exploration, Qi Tian has learned that if someone's level is one rank lower than his, he needs to kill more than ten times the number of magical beasts to increase his inner spiritual power by even a little bit. The greater the difference in level, the more magical beasts are needed to gain even a little bit of inner spiritual power.

Therefore, in the days to come, Qi Tian decided it was time to leave Odin Town.

In addition, his system has another feature: when a certain amount of inner spiritual energy is absorbed, it will trigger the effect of [Divine Feedback].

When his inner spiritual power broke through one hundred, he gained an ability called [Absorbing Pain Strike]. When activated, the attack is inflicted with true damage from the absorbed spiritual power, ignoring defense.

Unfortunately, he can only use this ability once a day, and it consumes a lot of energy, but the effect is outstanding, making it one of his trump cards.

"Today should be Haochen's day for the squire knight assessment, right? In that case, let's end our training early, gather some wild vegetables, and go back to celebrate for him!"

"After all, it's time for me to leave. If Long Xingyu finds out about me later, I'll be in real danger!"

Thinking of this, Qi Tian quickened his pace and ran towards the place where he often picked wild vegetables.

Meanwhile, on the eastern outskirts of Odin Town, a thin, black-haired boy dressed in cloth, carrying a wooden sword, ran straight toward a wooden house.

"Haha, the power generation method that Brother Qitian taught me this year is really useful! This time, my external spiritual power actually broke through to twenty points in the test."

"Not only did I get first place in the assessment, but I also received Balza's reward. I really need to thank Brother Qitian. Maybe I should tell Mom to invite Brother Qitian over for dinner tomorrow!"

The boy skipped and hopped around, talking to himself, but the joy on his face was undeniable.

Unfortunately, when the boy arrived at the wooden house and knocked on the door, there was no response from inside.

"Has Brother Qitian gone out hunting and cultivating again? He's so diligent! I must learn from Brother Qitian in the future!"

The boy clenched his fist, his face showing a determination beyond his years.

.........

Qi Tian walked to the place where he often picked wild vegetables, skillfully gathered a large bundle of them, and was about to leave when—

"Shh...shh..."

A series of hurried and disordered footsteps came from the depths of the dense forest, mixed with the sound of bodies rubbing against plants.

A faint, rapid breathing sound could be heard from within.

Upon hearing the sound, he immediately crouched down and hid in a bush, gripping his wooden sword and staring intently in the direction from which the sound came.

As a knight who has spent nearly two years traversing the mountains and forests, caution is always his first principle.

A breath or two after he had taken cover, a petite figure stumbled out of the bushes.

She was a seven or eight-year-old girl, slender, with short, light purple hair, and wearing a tattered but clearly expensive dark purple dress.

There were many tears on the dress, and blood was seeping out from them.

The most shocking thing was her mouth—tightly pursed, with dried bloodstains at the corners of her lips, as if she was using all her strength to prevent herself from making any sound.

She ran a few steps, tripped over the exposed tree roots, and fell heavily to the ground.

However, even in this situation, she did not cry, nor did she let out a muffled groan of pain. She simply struggled to get up, her small hands scraping against the rough ground, leaving bloody marks.

The strength in her eyes moved even Qi Tian.

Upon seeing this scene, Qi Tian's heart clenched.
