Divine Seal: Infinitely stack Q, protecting light and reincarnation.

"The Demon Hunter Selection Tournament is just over half a year away; it's time to leave!"

Inside the barracks, Qi Tian, ​​who was sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.

Spring is almost here, and the demons' offensive has weakened considerably, giving Qi Tian more free time to cultivate.

Now that he's almost seventeen, he's practically an adult.

He was nearly 1.9 meters tall, with a slender build, a cold and resolute face, and a strong aura of blood emanating from him, which dyed his hair a light red, giving him an eerie appearance.

Qi Tian then opened the system panel to view his gains over the past five years:

[Host: Qi Tian (16 years old)]

[Strength: Rank 6, Level 3]

[Internal Spiritual Power: 5123 points (Innate Internal Spiritual Power: 12 points)]

[External Spiritual Power: 875 points]

[Skills Mastered: Light Slash, Ascension Array, Holy Light Shield, Cross Slash, Charge, Healing Light, Lightning Thrust, Sun Slash, Assault, Desperate Strike, Lock-On, Sacrifice, Rising Dragon Strike, Holy Sword, Guardian's Grace, Faith Aura, Powerful Strike Aura...]

(Note: As mentioned earlier, the protagonist has lived two lives and possesses extraordinary comprehension. In addition, he has the Ring of Inheritance and the complete instruction of the knights of the Southeast Fortress. Therefore, he has mastered all knight skills below the fifth rank, whether he is a guardian knight or a punishment knight.)

[Awakening Skills: Absorb Pain Strike, Immortal Body (obtained upon reaching 1000 Inner Spirit Power), Devour Life (obtained upon killing 10,000 Demons)]

Looking at the series of numbers on the panel, Qi Tian smiled a long-lost smile.

"Five years of hard work have finally yielded considerable results!"

After breaking through to the sixth rank, he had already opened up his spiritual aperture. Although he had spiritual wings, he had not yet used them. He was going to test them after leaving the Southeast Fortress.

However, after breaking through to the sixth level, Qi Tian couldn't help but feel a little worried.

The skills in the Ring of Inheritance are only of the fifth rank or lower, and there are only one or two sixth-rank skills, which are very rare.

He'll have to spend a lot of time searching for skills he wants to learn in the future!

Another concern is the increase in strength.

After breaking through to the sixth rank, only demons of the fourth rank or above can enhance his inner spiritual power. However, the further he progresses, the more inner spiritual power he needs to increase his strength. Where in the entire Holy Demon Continent are there so many demons of the fourth rank or above?

Fortunately, as he killed more and more demons, and with the spiritual energy absorbed by the system, his system awakened two new abilities: [Immortal Body] and [Devouring Life].

【Immortal Body】is a skill he awakened when his inner spiritual power broke through 1,000. It is very similar to 101 Dog Head's ultimate move. Not only are his vitality, defense, attack, and size all enhanced, but the duration can also last for half an incense stick's time. It is a true life-saving skill.

Unfortunately, this [Immortal Body] has certain side effects. Not only can it only be used once a month, but without strong external spiritual power to support it, the body will feel a tearing sensation, resulting in a huge backlash.

Originally, the [Immortal Body] could only be used once every six months, but as Qi Tian continuously broke through to the fifth and sixth tiers, rapidly increased his external spiritual power, and awakened his third skill, the interval became shorter and shorter, eventually reaching once a month.

As for the other skill, [Devour Life], it was awakened when Qi Tian accumulated 10,000 demon kills. It was precisely because of this awakened skill that he could still kill low-level demons even though they had no effect on his spiritual power, thus accumulating the kill count.

[Devour Life] is a passive skill, similar to increasing inner spiritual power. It increases one point of outer spiritual power for each demon of the same level that is killed.

For those one level lower than him, it takes ten to increase his external spiritual power by one point; for those two levels lower, it takes one hundred.

As for the next higher level, it increases external spiritual power by ten points, with the same effect as increasing internal spiritual power.

It's just that because the [Life Devouring] skill was awakened too late, the speed at which his external spiritual power increased was far slower than the speed at which his internal spiritual power increased.

As for the improvement in innate spiritual power, Qi Tian also found the reason.

Each time he awakens a skill, his innate spiritual power doubles. Starting with the first skill, it increases by one point; the second skill increases by two points; the third skill increases by four points; and so on. Qi Tian's innate spiritual power has now reached 12 points.

Although 12 points of innate spiritual power seems small, it has already provided him with some assistance. His spiritual power has been raised to the third level of the sixth rank, and he has also gained some spiritual power through his own cultivation.

If he awakens two or three more, his innate spiritual power will reach over sixty, which would make him an absolute genius.

That's why Qi Tiancai felt that staying in the army was a good thing for him.

He just needed a mount, and with his current strength, he would regret it if he didn't visit the Demon Hunter Group.

He's still young, and he can consider joining the military later; now is the perfect age for him to take risks.

That's why Qi Tian submitted his resignation letter not long ago and is now awaiting approval from the military leadership.

Once the results are in, he can leave the Southeast Fortress.

Aside from his improved strength, Qi Tian's accumulated military merits had reached a terrifying level. He roughly estimated that his military merits had exceeded 100,000, but only the official in charge of recording knew the exact number.

But Qi Tian knew that his military merits were more than enough to exchange for a set of Brilliant-level equipment.

Looking back on the past five years, Qi Tian has already achieved two of his three initial goals: to improve his strength, to obtain a suitable set of equipment and a mount. As for the third, it is just around the corner.

Thinking of this, Qi Tian shook his head, a sigh appearing on his face:

"Phew, looking back, it really wasn't easy!"

For five years, he spent his time fighting demons, meditating, and cultivating, but it was all worthwhile.

He then slowly got up, preparing to go back to the city wall to see what was happening outside.

At this time,

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

Three knocks sounded on the door, followed by a loud voice from outside:

"Brother Qi, I sense that the spiritual energy in your room has calmed down. Have you finished your seclusion?"

"Brother Qin, my seclusion is over!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Tian quickly took a few steps, opening the door as he spoke. The person speaking outside was none other than Qin Lie, the commander of the Blood Blade Battalion.

Upon opening the door, a burly, tall, rugged-looking middle-aged man dressed in thick armor stood outside.

Upon seeing Qi Tian, ​​the man's eyes lit up slightly, and he spoke with some surprise:

"It seems you've gained quite a bit from this seclusion, little brother. Even I, your older brother, can feel a considerable amount of pressure!"

"Brother, you're too kind. Your strength is far beyond what I can compare to. Please don't tease me!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Tian shook his head helplessly and changed the subject, saying:

"May I ask what brings you here, brother?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Lie immediately became serious and said:

"Oh, I almost forgot the important matter. Vice Hall Master Ren wants you to go see him after you finish your seclusion!"
