Divine Seal: Blessed by the Goddess Ellie, bestowed with the name of Hero!

Seeing Cai'er's tearful eyes, Lin Feng felt as if his heart was being torn apart.

Lin Feng reached out and wiped away her tears.

This time, Sheng Yue did not stop Lin Feng from being so intimate with Cai'er.

Instead, she sighed deeply and looked at Lin Feng, explaining, "I know I made a mistake, but I am the master of the Assassin's Temple. Exorcism Pass borders the Demon Realm, and countless humans die every day, every month, every year. Those who died were also other people's children, other people's parents, or friends. Why can their children and parents sacrifice themselves, but my children cannot..."

"Moreover, Cai'er is the only person in the Assassin's Temple's history in thousands of years to have an innate spiritual power of 93 points. If we could raise her innate spiritual power to 100 points, then humanity might have a way to end the war between the human and demon races that has lasted for thousands of years!"

"Sacrificing someone's childhood, or even their entire life..."

"From the perspective of parents and elders, it may be wrong, but from a macro perspective, I think it is an absolutely feasible business."

As Sheng Yue spoke, her voice grew softer and softer.

He knew perfectly well that he was wrong, but for the sake of humanity's future, he had no other choice.

Ling Xiao listened to Sheng Yue's words and was momentarily frozen in place.

He now fully understood the pain in Sheng Yue's heart.

The higher one's position, the less they can always do what they want.

He understood that Saint Moon had to endure unimaginable pain to make such a decision.

"Sigh~" Ling Xiao sighed, wanting to say something, but not knowing what to say.

Everyone has their own reasons.

At this moment, Sheng Yue looked at Lin Feng and said, "Little guy, tell me, if you were the master of the Assassin's Temple, Cai'er's great-grandfather, what choice would you make?"

Through the conversation just now, Sheng Yue unconsciously let go of the idea of ​​treating Lin Feng as a child.

Faced with Sheng Yue's question, everyone's eyes immediately fell on Lin Feng.

"What should I do?"

"I don't know what I'll do, I only know that if Cai'er is my true love, I'd be willing to destroy the world for her!"

"For the sake of you old codgers having a shred of conscience, I'll let you train Cai'er."

Sheng Yue snapped out of his daze after hearing Lin Feng's first words. He hadn't expected Lin Feng to go to such lengths for Cai'er.

But when he heard Lin Feng's next sentence, he chuckled and said, "Little guy, I know you're worried that Cai'er will be mistreated in the Assassin's Temple, but Cai'er is determined to return to the Assassin's Temple. Only in the Assassin's Temple can Cai'er enjoy the best resources, and the entire Assassin's Temple will allocate resources to her."

"A moment of pain is always better than a long-lasting pain."

"I know what you're worried about. I can assure you that I will raise Cai'er's strength to the fourth rank within a year!" Lin Feng said directly.

"Little one, don't be willful. I don't dislike you. When you grow up, you can spend more time with Cai'er. I won't stop you."

Seeing that Sheng Yue didn't believe him, Lin Feng stopped explaining and instead looked at Ling Xiao beside him, saying, "Teacher Ling Xiao, may we begin the awakening ceremony?"

After saying this, Lin Feng looked at Sheng Yue and said, "I will prove to you that I have the ability to teach Cai'er."

Faced with Lin Feng's promise, Sheng Yue said helplessly, "Okay, if you can really prove that you have the ability to teach Cai'er, I can agree to let Cai'er stay by your side for a year."

As soon as Sheng Yue finished speaking, Xia Ying No. 1, who was standing to the side, quickly stopped her.

Before he could speak, Sheng Yue transmitted her voice, saying, "I do like this kid named Lin Feng quite a bit, but if you want to teach Cai'er, it's not enough to just have a higher innate spiritual power than Cai'er."

"I'll make this kid hand over Cai'er willingly."

"I also want to see just how talented this guy is, the one who was treated like this by Cai'er!"

Upon hearing Sheng Yue's words, Xia Ying No. 1 was momentarily speechless.

However, he couldn't help but have some doubts along the way. He clearly remembered that a woman with extremely terrifying strength had knocked him away.

He had initially thought the other party was a powerful figure from the priest's temple, but after looking around, he found no one who matched his criteria.

As for Ruoshui, who went with him, he had also investigated her and found that she was not capable of doing that.

Keep in mind that he was at the peak of the eighth rank, yet he didn't even have the slightest power to resist that mysterious woman.

Who could it be?

Just as Xia Ying No. 1 was still puzzled, Ling Xiao had already walked up to Lin Feng.

"Come with me."

Led by Ling Xiao, Lin Feng entered the awakening room.

The others followed.

The Awakening Chamber was very large, and its walls were carved with numerous spirit-gathering arrays to gather the surrounding elemental power.

Ling Xiao waved his hand, and several crystal-clear jade stones were embedded in the magic array in the center of the Awakening Room.

The previously dim magic array suddenly started operating.

The elemental power within the awakened room also shows a visible increase.

Then Ling Xiao took out an amber-colored stone and placed it in the center of the magic circle.

Seeing this, Cai'er quickly wrote on Lin Feng's palm, "This hurts a lot, take care of yourself..."

Seeing the worry in Cai'er's eyes, Lin Feng patted her head and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

This time, Cai'er didn't resist Lin Feng's touch as much as before; instead, she even seemed to enjoy it.

When Lin Feng spoke those words for her, Cai'er was already able to unconditionally trust the boy in front of her.

This was the first time she had ever been protected by someone.

Seeing this, Lin Feng looked at Ruoshui and said, "Aunt Ruoshui, please take care of Cai'er for me."

"Don't worry, no one will take Cai'er away before you fully awaken."

"Okay." Lin Feng nodded and then stood in the middle of the magic circle as Ling Xiao instructed.

"If Lin Feng is ready, I will begin."

"Let's begin, teacher."

As Lin Feng finished speaking, Ling Xiao channeled a pure element of holy divine light into the Awakening Stone.

The next moment, a dazzling light burst forth from the magic array.

Lin Feng's body slowly rose up amidst the light.

"The first step is to use the Awakening Stone to cleanse and refine the meridians, removing impurities and making them more resilient!"

"This process may be a little painful, but you have to bear with it."

"The longer you have, the smoother your future cultivation path will be!"
