In the forest, Cai'er listened to the white-robed man's words, remained silent for a moment, then pointed to herself, then to Qi Tian, ​​and made a few hand gestures.

"You mean this boy protected you, killed these demons, and was even injured by me, and you want me to give him a reward?"

The man in white sighed. Giving a fourth-tier knight as a reward was quite a drain on him.

But seeing Cai'er's worried eyes, and recalling how she had tried to unleash the Reincarnation Spirit Furnace earlier, he didn't dare refuse. He nodded and said:

"Okay, he definitely deserves this reward!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a ball of white light quietly shone from the chest of the white-robed man. It could be vaguely seen that the white light was the shape of a miniature furnace, with a faint blue flame flickering inside.

The man in white robes extended his right index and middle fingers and lightly touched the blue flame, causing a burst of flame to fall onto Qi Tian's body.

In just a moment, the blue flame returned to the white-robed man's body.

However, the man in white robes was now extremely weak, panting heavily, compared to his previous high spirits.

After all, it was somewhat beyond his strength to sort out the meridians of a fourth-tier knight.

"Okay, I've sorted it out..."

After doing all this, the man in white looked at Cai'er, about to speak, when he saw a shocking scene:

Cai'er carefully examined Qi Tian's body, her brows furrowing slightly. She was clearly very dissatisfied with the white-robed man's reward, which did not meet her expectations.

She took off a blue ring with a gold "Forget-Me-Not" design and put it on Qi Tian's left middle finger. She then took out a purple cloak and draped it over Qi Tian's body before calmly looking at the man in white.

"Cai'er, you..."

Looking at Cai'er's stubborn eyes, the man in white smiled bitterly and could only shake his head helplessly. With a wave of his right hand, a ball of flame erased the traces of the demons' presence. He then took Cai'er away from the forest, leaving Qi Tian lying alone on the ground.

.........

Consciousness rises and falls.

After an unknown amount of time, Qi Tian woke up on the cold ground.

The back of my neck still felt sore and numb, but the spiritual energy in my body circulated on its own, and I recovered most of it.

Moreover, the body's meridians have expanded slightly, allowing for faster circulation of spiritual energy and enabling the body to withstand more spiritual energy.

He sat up abruptly and looked around—not only was the werewolf's corpse gone, but the girl was also nowhere to be seen.

No, something was left behind.

A tattered, dark purple coat covered him, carrying a very faint, cool fragrance.

And... opposite to the ring of inheritance on the middle finger of the right hand, a cold blue ring appeared on the middle finger of the left hand.

"Forget-me-not..."

He stroked the ring, his consciousness sinking into it, and discovered that it was a storage ring with an astonishingly large interior space.

"Hey, it really is Cai'er. The one who ambushed me just now was probably her family member or teacher!"

"I didn't expect to be unable to react; there's still a lot of room for improvement in my strength!"

"There's no room for improvement in Odin Town for me anymore. Let's make preparations, say goodbye to Haochen, and leave!"

He remained silent for a long time before carefully putting away the purple robe and hiding the ring close to his body.

After quickly cleaning up the battlefield traces, he silently said "Open panel," and a white panel visible only to him appeared before his eyes:

[Host: Qi Tian (11 years old)]

[Internal Spiritual Power: 523 points (Innate Internal Spiritual Power: 6 points)]

[External Spiritual Power: 235 points]

[Mastered Skills: Absorb Pain Strike, Light Slash, Ascension Array, Holy Light Shield, Cross Slash, Charge, Healing Light, Lightning Thrust, Sun Slash...]

Seeing the changes in spiritual energy on the panel, Qi Tian nodded slightly. Today's desperate battle had yielded considerable gains.

Killing these dozen or so demons was more than the spiritual power he gained from cultivating for dozens of days!

It seems that killing the demons is a very profitable endeavor.

After checking that nothing had been forgotten, Qi Tian picked up the bundle of wild vegetables that had almost been forgotten and walked towards the small wooden house at the foot of the mountain under the moonlight.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he arrived outside his wooden house.

In the open space in front of the door, a black-haired boy hugged his knees and dozed off under the dim light.

Upon seeing the young man, Qi Tian smiled knowingly.

This young man was none other than Long Haochen, whom he had been teaching for the past two years.

Besides teaching Long Haochen some of the Knight Temple's cultivation and breathing techniques, he would also bring back any magical beasts and herbs he encountered during his cultivation to lay a solid foundation for Long Haochen.

Therefore, compared to the original work, Long Haochen's current physique is quite robust, but he is still handsome.

Hearing footsteps, Long Haochen woke up with a start and looked up, the brand-new squire badge on his chest gleaming faintly.

"Brother Qitian!"

Upon seeing Qi Tian return, Long Haochen immediately rushed to greet him like a joyful little deer, his face beaming with barely suppressed excitement.

"It's over! I passed! Instructor Balza said my foundation is very solid, and my spiritual sense and physical coordination are much better than the average child!"

As he spoke, he excitedly patted the badge on his chest.

Qi Tian stopped in his tracks, looking at the boy's pure smile, and feeling the coolness of the purple robe in his arms and the warmth of the ring.

The temperatures of the two worlds intertwined at this moment.

He smiled and handed over the wild vegetables.

"Congratulations, Haochen! I knew this simple test wouldn't be a problem for you!"

His voice was calm, but his gaze was fixed on the deep night sky in the distance.

He should leave.

However, at this moment, Long Haochen was filled with joy and did not notice Qi Tian's abnormality. Instead, he continued to speak:

"Brother Qitian, thank you so much for your guidance these past few days. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to pass the squire knight exam!"

"I have to thank you for this, big brother!"

Long Haochen said gratefully, his eyes filled with sincerity, "If it weren't for the training methods you taught me these past two years, how to sense spiritual energy, how to adjust my breathing and exert force, I might not even know how to activate spiritual energy now."

He scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, "Especially since you always remind me that the core of strength lies in control and accumulation, not just in speed."

"I'd like to invite you to my home for dinner. I've already told my mom, and she's agreed!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Tian's eyes flashed with a complex expression. Based on his understanding of Long Xingyu, he knew that Long Xingyu was probably watching his conversation with Long Haochen right now.

Given Long Xingyu's eccentric personality, why would he be allowed to go to Long Haochen's house?

But he couldn't very well refuse Long Haochen's invitation, so he could only make up an excuse:

"Haochen, there's no need to trouble Aunt Baiyue. I'm very happy to hear that you passed the Attendant Knight exam, but I've been in Odin Town for a long time now, and it's time for me to leave!"

Upon hearing this, Long Haochen's excited expression froze, and he said with some sadness:

"Huh? Brother Qitian, are you leaving?"
