Chapter 269 The Knight of the Future

Chapter 269 The Knight of the Future

In other words.

Raven's martial soul is constructed from the power of runes within the power of rules, similar to Ye Qifeng's Light and Shadow martial souls.

But there are differences.

The reason it shatters at the slightest touch is that the martial soul is constructed from individual runes, which are connected to each other through the power of the runes, and the power of the runes is condensed and concentrated within the runes.

If the runic power within the runes is not activated, there will be no adhesion between the runes, and the most obvious manifestation of this is that they are fragile.

This is why Riven's Broken Sword Spirit shatters at the slightest touch.

The solution to this problem is quite simple: just master the runes and unleash their power.

As for Raven, all that's needed is a high enough level of understanding.

In other words, Raven is only one spirit ring away from becoming a true spirit master, at which point she can gradually control her rune power.

Upon drawing this conclusion, Ye Qifeng twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly, his expression revealing a subtle undercurrent.

Gently stroking Ah Yin, who was waving branches and leaves beside him, and dripping a drop of nutrient solution on her, Ye Qifeng made a fingerprint and prepared to leave the Yin-Yang Space.

next moment.

A flash of black and white light appeared between his brows.

The spiritual entity then left the Yin-Yang space and returned to its original form.

On the wide, dilapidated streets.

Qian Renxue was still staring intently at Ye Qifeng's brow, her expression slightly dazed, but her heart was far from calm.

It was at this moment.

She noticed that the black and white light between Ye Qifeng's eyebrows suddenly flickered again, and at the same time, a mark appeared faintly.

The black and white light flashed for a very short time, just like before, it was gone in an instant.

But this time she saw it much more clearly.

It was a circular mark, half black and half white, the black and white colors resembling two swimming fish, their heads and tails intertwined.

The mark appears simple, yet it is full of mystery, as if it contains profound truths, making people feel as if a world is hidden there.

Sensing the extraordinary nature of the mark, Qian Renxue was shocked and dumbfounded, completely stunned.

A moment later, she tilted her head slightly and glanced at Raven and her friends.

From their unchanging expressions, Qian Renxue noticed that Ruiwen and the others seemed not to have seen the faint mark between Ye Qifeng's eyebrows, nor the fleeting black and white light.

This phenomenon seems to be visible only to her.

Suddenly discovering a secret about Ye Qifeng, Qian Renxue was stunned, but couldn't help but smile slightly, looking somewhat happy.

While Qian Renxue was lost in thought because of the Yin-Yang mark on Ye Qifeng's forehead.

Ye Qifeng's spiritual power has completely returned to his body.

His spiritual body didn't stay in the Yin-Yang Space for long, only a minute or two.

Opening his eyes and releasing his fingerprints, Ye Qifeng immediately turned his gaze to Raven, whose eyes were filled with expectation. A gentle smile appeared on his face as he said to her:

"Little Raven, I've found out why your martial spirit is so fragile. Do you want to know?"

"Really? Really?"

Raven tilted her little face up, her mouth agape, somewhat incredulous.

The next second, she realized what was happening and nodded rapidly, like a chick pecking at rice, her voice full of anticipation as she said in a crisp voice:

"I want to know, I really want to know, Brother Ye, please tell me quickly."

Xiao Liu and the other friends looked at each other in surprise when they heard Ye Qifeng's words. Their dark and dirty faces showed surprise and disbelief.

Qian Renxue, who had been smiling blankly to the side, also came to her senses and immediately looked at Ye Qifeng, asking with surprise in her eyes:

"Xiao Feng, have you found the flaw in Xiao Ruiwen's martial soul?"

"Mm." Ye Qifeng smiled slightly, nodded gently at her, and answered simply:

"Actually, that's not a flaw in the martial soul, but rather a manifestation of the martial soul's inherent attributes, or you could say it's a manifestation of the power of rules."

Reaching out to gently stroke Raven's messy hair, and meeting her clear eyes, Ye Qifeng continued to explain:

"I just analyzed the composition of the Broken Sword Martial Soul carefully and found that it is actually constructed from a special power."

"Did you see the symbols on the sword?"

Upon hearing the sound, everyone immediately turned their attention to the broken sword floating in Raven's hand, and they could clearly see the dense, mysterious symbols on the sword.

"Those are runes."

Ye Qifeng said calmly.

"Runes? What are those? I've never heard of them before."

Qian Renxue asked a few questions in a daze.

"Of course you haven't heard of it, because it doesn't belong to this world. Who knows which keyboard immortal sent it here?" Ye Qifeng thought to himself, then coughed lightly and explained:

"Runes are aggregates of a kind of rule power, and this rule power can be called runic power."

"Well, you can think of it as a secondary attribute of your martial soul, just like the Holy Light attribute that your martial soul is associated with."

"Oh, I see."

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue replied with understanding, "So, Little Raven's Broken Sword Martial Soul is actually constructed from runes, and its attached attribute is a special one called Rune Power?"

As expected of Xiaoxue'er, she understands immediately.

He's a promising young man.

"That's one way to understand it."

Night Wind nodded in agreement.

"Why did Raven's broken sword spirit shatter upon contact?"

Qian Renxue suddenly asked again.

Upon hearing this, Raven and her friends all pricked up their ears and listened attentively.

"This is related to the characteristics of the runes themselves."

Facing the questioning gazes of the crowd, Ye Qifeng gently explained, "According to my analysis, the runes have a strange characteristic."

He then explained to everyone the characteristics of the runes he had analyzed using the Yin-Yang Analysis.

"Brother, is there any way to solve the problem of the Broken Sword Martial Soul being so fragile?"

At this moment, Raven asked in a crisp voice, her tone sounding somewhat nervous.

After listening to Brother Ye's explanation of the Broken Sword Martial Soul, although she didn't quite understand it, she knew that the reason why the Martial Soul was fragile was due to the characteristics of the runes that constructed it.

However, what she most wanted to know was how to solve the problem of her martial soul being fragile.

Although I was a little embarrassed, I still mustered up the courage to bring up this question.

Seeing Raven's nervous expression, Ye Qifeng couldn't help but smile. He stroked her silver-gray hair again to reassure her, nodded gently, and said reassuringly:

"There are solutions, of course."

Feeling the warmth of Ye Qifeng's hand, Raven felt incredibly warm, comfortable, and affectionate; the slight tension she had felt just moments before vanished instantly.

Forgetting all about modesty and shyness, she withdrew her martial spirit, suddenly ran forward, grabbed Ye Qifeng's leg, looked up at him with wide eyes, and asked eagerly:

"What method?"

Suddenly having his leg hugged, Ye Qifeng involuntarily raised an eyebrow, but didn't seem to care too much. He let her hug him, a smile on his face, and replied:

"It's very simple, all you need is one spirit ring."

"Huh?" Raven didn't quite understand.

Night Wind explained:

"That means you only need to absorb one spirit ring to become a true spirit master."

"Once your cultivation level is high enough, you will be able to gradually control the runes within the broken sword, and subsequently control your own runic power. Do you understand?"

"Understood."

Raven nodded, but the next second, as if remembering something, she suddenly lowered her head and said weakly:

"But I don't have any spirit rings."

"Spirit Rings?"

Ye Qifeng was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized that Raven did not have the ability to hunt for a spirit ring.

Neither strength nor wealth could support her at such a young age to hunt spirit beasts and absorb spirit rings.

"It's alright, I'll take care of the spirit ring issue for you."

Ye Qifeng waved his hand casually, smiled faintly, and said.

"Brother Ye, will you... will you help me hunt for a spirit ring?"

Upon hearing this, Raven suddenly looked up, her little face filled with surprise.

"yes."

Ye Qifeng nodded.

Although she was happy, Raven was clearly a little worried. She said with concern:

"But I've heard that soul beasts are ferocious creatures, and hunting them is extremely dangerous, Brother Ye..."

"Little Ruiwen, don't worry, your brother Ye is very strong. Helping you hunt for spirit rings is a piece of cake for him."

At this moment, Qian Renxue, who was standing next to her, suddenly spoke up.

Huh? Why is Xiaoxue praising me again? That's really strange.

Ye Qifeng turned his head in surprise and glanced at Qian Renxue. He happened to see her looking at him with a squinting smile on her face, and she even winked secretly.

This left Ye Qifeng somewhat bewildered, unable to understand what she was implying in her eyes.

Forget it.

Let's deal with Little Raven first.

Shaking his head, Ye Qifeng turned his gaze back to Raven and said with certainty:

"Little Raven, don't worry. Hunting spirit rings for you is really not difficult for me."

"real?!"

Raven was overjoyed.

That's wonderful that Brother Ye is willing to help me hunt for spirit rings.

Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, and hurriedly released her hand from Ye Qifeng's thigh, took out a small cloth bag from her bosom, which contained her savings of more than a year.

"Brother Ye, I have money. I'll pay you first, but there's not much in it. It probably won't be enough to cover the cost of hunting for the spirit ring. I'll work hard and earn more money later, and then I'll pay you the rest, okay?"

As Raven spoke, she held up the small cloth bag and handed it to Ye Qifeng.

Looking at the small cloth bag handed to them, Ye Qifeng and Qian Renxue, who were standing beside him, were both stunned for a moment. Raven was actually thinking of paying for helping to hunt for soul rings.

Faced with the heartbreakingly sensible Raven, Qian Renxue felt a pang of sadness.

Ye Qifeng also suppressed his smile, pushed the small cloth bag back, and said to her seriously:

"Little Raven, you can keep this money. I'm not short of money, and I'll help you hunt for spirit rings, so you don't need to pay me."

"Huh? We don't need to pay?"

Raven didn't quite understand. Her late father had once told her that business should be fair and just, and that there should be a return for every effort.

When you ask someone for help, you have to pay them the appropriate compensation.

This is a code of conduct that knights should adhere to.

"Need not."

Ye Qifeng affirmed.

"But."

Raven wanted to say something more.

Ye Qifeng interrupted her, then pointed to himself and Qian Renxue:

"Didn't you call us Brother Ye and Sister Xue'er? Then wouldn't you be considered our younger sister? Brothers and sisters help each other out, we don't need to talk about money, right?"

"That's right."

Raven tilted her head and thought about it; it seemed to make a lot of sense.

"So you don't need to pay me for helping you hunt for spirit rings, right?"

"Yes, that's right."

"Then you'd better put the money away quickly."

"OK."

Ye Qifeng smiled with satisfaction.

Although Raven is quite intelligent, she is still a child and is relatively easy to persuade.

"By the way, Little Raven, have you thought about what you want to do in the future?"

After Raven tucked the small cloth bag back into her bosom, Ye Qifeng suddenly asked a question.

"Brother Ye, are you asking about my goals and ideals?"

Raven carefully hid the small cloth bag, patted it gently, and looked up as she spoke.

"Yes, is that so?"

"Yes, I have."

Raven raised her little fist and said firmly, "My dream is to become the strongest knight and restore the glory of knighthood!"

A knight?

Ye Qifeng was slightly taken aback, but upon reflection, it was within his expectations.

After all, she's Riven, so it's perfectly normal for her to aim for the Knights.

"Can you tell me why you want to become the strongest knight?"

Looking at her, Ye Qifeng asked again.

"This is what my father expected of me."

Raven gave a reply.

He then briefly recounted his knightly origins.

"Then you'd better work hard. In this world, all strength is based on martial spirit. If you want to become the strongest knight, you must become the strongest soul master."

"But it's my martial spirit."

"Little Raven, don't underestimate yourself. You are a genius with innate full soul power. In terms of talent, there are few people in this world who can surpass you."

Then, Ye Qifeng changed the subject and asked:

"Little Raven, there's something I want to ask you."

"Okay." Raven nodded. "What do you say, Brother Ye?"

"I know a place that can make you stronger and help you achieve your dreams. Would you like to go there?"

Raven didn't answer immediately whether she was willing or not, but instead asked:

"Where is it?"

"Spirit Hall".

Raven had certainly heard of the Spirit Hall. Her spirit awakened with the help of a Spirit Hall master, but that same master judged it to be a useless spirit.

Therefore, her feelings towards the Spirit Hall were neither bad nor good.

"So I'd like to invite you to join the Spirit Hall. Would you be willing?"

At this point, Ye Qifeng finally revealed his purpose.

After learning about Raven's identity, he had already decided to bring Raven under the banner of the Spirit Hall.

This is a future knight, a powerful offensive weapon spirit master.

Raven and Little Moon are about the same age, so they can be teammates.

This also prepares for future plans.

All that Ye Qifeng said was actually laying the groundwork for this.

Unlike Xiao Mingyue.

Despite her young age, Raven has experienced many hardships. She is a bright child and also a child with her own will.

It will take some effort to convince Raven to join the Spirit Hall willingly.

"Join the Spirit Hall?"

Raven asked in surprise.
