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

Long Xingyu had no idea that the person behind him was actually from the Knights' Temple, and was even a descendant of a hero from the Demon Hunter Squad.

Having a ring of inheritance means one's identity cannot be faked.

Although he has special feelings for his "son", his determination to protect humanity remains unchanged, and he also deeply respects the heroes who sacrificed themselves for humanity.

After hearing the boy's explanation, the murderous intent that had risen in his heart dissipated by more than half.

However, he couldn't just listen to Qi Tian's one-sided opinion, and his doubts hadn't completely dissipated.

After all, how could someone with less than ten points of innate inner spiritual power withstand his pressure? How could he teach Hao Chen to have such a solid foundation?

He could sense that Qi Tian's spiritual power was indeed only at the initial fourth level, and his foundation was weak—as if it had been forcibly enhanced by external forces.

More importantly, Qi Tian had a very faint smell of blood on him that made him feel uncomfortable.

It's not human blood, it's demon blood, and it's very fresh.

Thinking of this, Long Xingyu felt a sense of disgust.

What he didn't know was that the reason Qi Tian's foundation was weak was because he had recently sorted out his meridians and improved his strength.

Then Long Xingyu took out a fist-sized magic crystal ball from his storage ring and said to Qi Tian:

"What you said still needs to be verified a bit. You should understand what I mean!"

This magic crystal ball has only one function: to test someone's innate spiritual power.

If Qi Tian's identity is real, then he will definitely know how to use this crystal ball and will be able to test his innate spiritual power himself.

If he doesn't know how to use it or if his innate spiritual power is different from what Qi Tian himself said, then he won't be polite.

"Senior, I understand!"

Upon seeing the crystal ball, Qi Tian calmly nodded, held it in his hand, and slowly infused it with spiritual power.

In an instant, a golden light illuminated the entire room, and the number '6' appeared on the crystal ball, causing Long Xingyu and Qi Tian to pause in surprise.

Long Xingyu really didn't expect that what Qi Tian said was true, and that there was still a considerable gap between Qi Tian's and the ten points of innate spiritual power.

As for why Qi Tian was able to reach the fourth-tier knight level, and why his foundation was so weak, he guessed that it might be because he had used the cultivation resources left to him by Qi Tian's parents without considering the consequences, which led to Qi Tian's current level of cultivation.

"This child lacks talent and his future achievements are limited. We absolutely cannot let him associate with Haochen!"

This is Long Xingyu's only thought right now.

Qi Tian was also surprised that his innate spiritual power had increased. He had been busy killing and hadn't paid much attention to the panel. What could be the reason? This made him quickly try to recall.

When Long Xingyu saw this, he thought Qi Tian was upset, so he casually waved his hand and put away the magic crystal ball.

"Your identity has been confirmed."

Long Xingyu finally spoke again, his voice devoid of emotion, "You taught that child the basics, which was not a major mistake, but you don't need to interfere anymore."

He slightly turned his head, and although his face was still not revealed, his gaze seemed to pierce through space and land on Qi Tian:

"Your appointment with that child tomorrow must be canceled."

The voice was firm and unwavering, leaving no room for doubt.

Qi Tian clenched his fist.

As expected, Long Xingyu wouldn't allow himself to go to Long Haochen's house.

This Divine Knight wanted to completely control Long Haochen's growth environment and eliminate all variables.

As an "outsider" with a close relationship with Long Haochen, he absolutely cannot have any further in-depth interaction with that child before Long Xingyu officially contacts Long Haochen as an "instructor".

"senior!"

Qi Tian gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, under the pressure that was rising, "Hao Chen and I made a prior agreement. He regards me as an elder brother, and I regard him as a younger brother. Tomorrow's meal is a farewell feast, but also a final farewell to our friendship."

"I humbly request that you grant me permission to keep this appointment! After the meal, I will leave Odin Town immediately and never return."

As soon as he finished speaking, the air in the wooden house froze.

A terrifying silence.

Qi Tian could sense a chilling aura emanating from that figure's back for a fleeting moment—

That was murderous intent, fleeting yet undeniably real.

Qi Tian has cultivated for so many years, killing countless weak animals, and has also developed a killing intent on his body, making him extremely familiar with killing intent.

Long Xingyu is weighing the options.

Kill this boy? It would be as easy as turning one's hand.

But he couldn't get over it. He was sworn enemies with the demons. Killing a boy who hadn't done anything wrong, especially after two members of the Demon Hunter team had fallen, would cause him to suffer the backlash of his inner demons.

But he absolutely must not let this person set foot in his house.

With Bai Yue present, too many things could get out of control.

Moreover, if an outsider who is close to Haochen notices something... for example, senses that Bai Yue's relationship with them is unusual, or infers something from Bai Yue's attitude...

Wouldn't he then fail to achieve his goal?

"You are very stubborn."

Long Xingyu's voice returned to calm, but became even colder, "But, no."

The oppressive aura descended once more, heavier than before, carrying a clear sense of expulsion.

"Tonight, we leave Odin Town."

Every word he spoke carried immense weight: "You must have no further contact with that child. If you break this promise..."

He didn't continue.

Qi Tian understood; this was a death threat. If he didn't comply, he might not survive the day.

The spine creaked under the immense pressure.

Qi Tian gritted his teeth and endured the pain, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth again.

He knew he had no room for negotiation.

Compared to the Divine Knight, his strength and trump cards were insignificant.

"Junior... understands." Qi Tian uttered these words with difficulty and lowered his head.

A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years. He remembered the oppression Long Xingyu had inflicted on him today.

"Remember your words."

That imposing figure faded away silently, as if blending into the shadows, disappearing into the wooden house.

The oppressive aura completely dissipated.

Qi Tian slowly stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked at the heirloom ring in his hand. The ring was cold to the touch.

He walked to the window and looked towards the town of Odin, where the lights were faint.

The promise for tomorrow has become empty talk.

He couldn't even say goodbye in person, thank Aunt Bai Yue, or see Long Haochen one last time.

"Sigh, it seems we'll have to fulfill this meal promise in the future!"

"I'll see Haochen again during the future Demon Hunter team selection, but I can't get too close to him!"

"Long Xingyu is extremely petty and emotionally twisted. If he plots to kill me, who will I complain to?"

"I need to work harder!"

Qi Tian sighed inwardly, then closed his eyes and began to regulate his breathing.

An hour later, he would shoulder his simple bag and quietly leave Odin Town in the night without leaving a word.

Meanwhile, far away in the suburbs of Odin Town, Long Haochen was excitedly telling his mother, Bai Yue:

"Mom, Brother Lin Feng is coming over for dinner tomorrow! He said he's leaving town, and I want to thank him properly..."

Bai Yue smiled gently and nodded, but a hint of worry flashed in her eyes.

She looked out the window at the deep night, towards the direction of the mountains and forests, and sighed softly.

In the shadows of the room, a tall figure stood silently, seemingly blending into the darkness.
