Ultimate Supreme Soldier King

Upon hearing Su Chen's words, Shuiyue Jingxiang became lost in thought for a long time, and then a bitter expression surfaced in her eyes, "Unfortunately, I am not going to live..."

Shuiyue Jingxiang had always felt that seeking revenge against Su Chen was her only reason to keep living.

But now, at this moment, she truly came close to the Death God.

Only then did she understand.

What had been sustaining her life.

Was not seeking revenge against Su Chen.

But...

She didn't want to die...

She was afraid of death!

Regrettably, it seems a bit too late now that she understands.

"Hmm?" Su Chen's expression changed, as he also noticed something was wrong with Shuiyue Jingxiang.

Although his punch just now had caused significant harm to Shuiyue Jingxiang.

It shouldn't have been fatal.

"My mother, she performed a Forbidden Technique, offering her soul to the Shikigami... She's about to die..." Nishijiu sobbed.

"How can we save her?" Su Chen frowned.

He actually didn't wish for Shuiyue Jingxiang to die.

"There's no way now. Without its master, the Shikigami will return to the void Space, and by then, my mother's soul will also enter the void Space along with it. Human souls cannot exist in the void Space..."

Su Chen did not understand much about Shikigami or their principles, so he wasn't sure what to do for the time being.

"If the Shikigami had a new master, wouldn't it mean they don't have to return to the void Space?" Su Chen thought and said.

He had merely made a casual remark.

But to his surprise, Nishijiu's eyes lit up, "Maybe it's possible."

But soon, her gaze dimmed again as she said, "But I am not a Magician, and there's no time to find another Magician now."

"Is it difficult to become a Magician?" Su Chen inquired.

"Of course, it's difficult. To become a Magician, one must gain the Shikigami's acknowledgment. But even the lowest Shikigami are incredibly proud and generally do not submit to humans. It took my mother ten whole years to gain Anusbi's acknowledgment," Nishijiu said in a low voice.

Anusbi is that Centaur Shikigami.

A high-rank Shikigami.

In Dongyin Country, Shikigami are classified into three levels: low, medium, and high.

And Anusbi, being a high-rank Shikigami, is already a very powerful one.

Of course, this is just the ordinary classification for Shikigami.

There are rumored to be Legendary Level Shikigami.

However, those are part of legends, and whether they truly exist remains to be seen.

The battle power of Onmyoji comes entirely from the Shikigami they can summon.

Gaining acknowledgment from a Shikigami, however, is exceedingly difficult.

And it requires immense luck.

It is already considered very quick for Shuiyue Jingxiang to gain acknowledgment from the high-rank Shikigami Anusbi in ten years.

There are many Onmyoji who spend ten or twenty years, or even their entire lives, without receiving acknowledgment from a Shikigami.

"So you mean to say, actually the most difficult part is to get the acknowledgment from Shikigami, right?" A smile appeared on Su Chen's face.

"That's correct..." Nishijiu's eyes suddenly sparkled.

Under normal circumstances, gaining a Shikigami's acknowledgment is incredibly challenging.

But now, Shuiyue Jingxiang has merged with the Shikigami, temporarily guiding its consciousness.

If Shuiyue Jingxiang directly acknowledges Nishijiu, would Nishijiu immediately become an Onmyoji?

Of course, this is only a guess.

Because in reality, this kind of situation has never occurred.

Once someone chooses to sacrifice themselves to a Shikigami.

It means they're giving up their life.

No one would choose to use their life to make another Onmyoji.

Moreover, this is only theoretically feasible.

But now, there are no other options.

Shuiyue Jingxiang is about to die.

Of course, Shuiyue Jingxiang knew the most about Shikigami.

Both of their gazes turned towards the dying Shuiyue Jingxiang.

"Maybe we could try..." Shuiyue Jingxiang was also uncertain.

But they decided to try it anyway.

Instantly, Shuiyue Jingxiang started to teach Nishijiu Yin Yang Technique.

Perhaps because Nishijiu was originally Shuiyue Jingxiang's daughter, she almost didn't need to put in too much effort to learn it.

However, it wasn't difficult to learn Yin Yang Technique.

The difficult part was acquiring a Shikigami.

A Magician without Shikigami was even less capable than a regular Martial Artist.

Thus, in Dongyin Country, there weren't many Onmyoji.

Because Shikigami were too rare.

Even fewer Magicians obtained recognition from Shikigami.

With that time, it would be better to directly cultivate Martial Skills.

Either to become a Dongyin Samurai or to practice Ninjutsu and become a Ninja.

But once they gained recognition from a Shikigami, that Magician would immediately become incomparably powerful.

Just like Shuiyue Jingxiang's Shikigami, Anusbi.

Its power almost rivaled that of Su Chen.

After accepting the sacrifice from Shuiyue Jingxiang, it was even stronger than Su Chen.

Theoretically, Nishijiu had just learned the technique, and it would take a very long time to acquire a Shikigami.

Perhaps, it wouldn't be possible in her entire lifetime.

But now, an opportunity was laid in front of her.

That was, to gain recognition from her mother.

To become her Shikigami.

If successful.

Then not only would she be a Samurai of the Hachishin Clan, but also an Onmyoji with a Shikigami.

Her rank would immediately rise from fifty-eighth to the top twenty, or even higher.

Of course, all this was predicated on the feasibility of this method.

Following the request of Shuiyue Jingxiang, Nishijiu cut a slit on her palm.

Shuiyue Jingxiang did the same on her palm.

They pressed their palms together.

This was the process of an Onmyoji making a contract with a Shikigami.

Generally, only after obtaining the Shikigami's recognition could one make a contract.

However, Shuiyue Jingxiang directly acknowledged Nishijiu and immediately proceeded to the contract-making process.

Shuiyue Jingxiang's body started to become somewhat ethereal.

Her time was running out.

If she could not become Nishijiu's Shikigami, as a masterless Shikigami, she would return to the void space.

Her consciousness would be erased instantly.

Everything seemed to be proceeding smoothly.

However, at the last moment, an explosion suddenly occurred at the location of their joined palms.

Both Nishijiu and Shuiyue Jingxiang were sent flying back.

"What's happening?" Su Chen was also unaware of what had happened.

Nishijiu was the same.

Shuiyue Jingxiang's complexion turned deathly pale.

She stared intently at Nishijiu and asked, "You, are you having your period today?"

Nishijiu was shocked and slowly nodded her head.

Upon hearing this, Shuiyue Jingxiang's face grew even paler.

She sighed, "Maybe, this is the will of heaven..."

Both Su Chen and Nishijiu looked at Shuiyue Jingxiang, somewhat perplexed and confused.

"Shikigami are extremely proud, and so female Magicians cannot summon Shikigami for several days each month. The reason I was trapped in that cellar before... Although I dominated Anusbi's consciousness, it subconsciously rejected forming a contract with Nishijiu..."
