The glow of the setting sun silently burned at the horizon, and Lisa lay on the grass, listless.
Ever since awakening her Entries, she had this quirk—every day when the sun set, she'd beco incredibly lazy.
Ailan was still training, kicking fiercely and with precision. After enduring hundreds of kicks, the wooden post's head finally couldn't take any more, breaking off and flying away like a cannonball.
Xu Yi stood by, secretly amazed.
Ailan's speed in learning Combat techniques was astoundingly fast. In just an afternoon, she had nearly mastered all of his skills.
"Let's have another match!" Ailan said intently, challenging Xu Yi once again.
"It's getting late, let's call it a day. We'll talk about it next ti," Xu Yi gave a slight cough, decisively refusing.
If they fought again, he was very likely to lose to Ailan.
With nearly equal Combat technique skills, Ailan's ghost-like speed and cat-like agility would be advantages that would only beco greatly magnified.
He had no masochistic tendencies.
Ailan rushed toward Xu Yi without saying a word, her speed increasing. Xu Yi stood still as if he hadn't seen Ailan's approach.
Ailan clenched her fists, but before she could throw a punch, her expression softened again, Maria took control of the body.
"Well done!" Xu Yi said with a smile, looking at Maria approvingly.
The rcedes sedan ca from afar, with Alante arriving on ti to pick everyone up.
The Funeral Parlor was closest to Chinatown, so that was where they headed first.
Right after Lisa got out of the car, her sister Lorna ca bouncing over.
Upon seeing Xu Yi in the back seat, Lorna's eyes lit up, wanting to follow him for fun, but was suppressed by Lisa's "sisterly bond" and could only watch forlornly as Xu Yi left.
Maria's ho was the farthest, so Alante dropped Xu Yi off at his rented apartnt first, parking in the passageway near the flowerbeds.
"Would you like to co up for a bit?" Xu Yi invited.
Upon hearing this invitation, Maria's heart started pounding fiercely, and her cheeks reddened slightly.
Xu Yi was inviting her into his house. Could it be that he wanted to... She had heard about that sort of thing from her classmates, but she had never experienced it herself.
At the thought, her face turned even redder.
"Allen, why don't you go and buy so food to bring back!" Xu Yi, realizing it was getting late and ti for dinner, suggested.
Alante nodded and left.
Maria had not clearly heard what Xu Yi said after, her body was burning up, and she followed him to the room in a daze.
"Take a look at this, and if you don't see any problems, you can sign your na," Xu Yi said as he took a Parchnt Scroll out of the cabinet and handed it to Maria.
Maria slightly ca to her senses and looked at the Parchnt Scroll with curiosity.
It was a very sophisticated-looking Parchnt Scroll, inscribed with black and purple ink—a contract agreent with Xu Yi.
"Is this one of those legendary devil's contracts?" joked Maria, then without any hesitation, she took the pen and signed her na on the Parchnt Scroll.
[Maria's current Favorability: 94.]
With the interactions over the past few days, Maria's Favorability had risen once again. She didn't hesitate to sign her na on the thoroughly suspicious Parchnt Scroll.
Xu Yi didn't know whether to be touched or to think that Maria was just too naive... or maybe too deeply "smitten"?
[The Bond Contract Entry has been created.]
Indeed, the so-called Parchnt Scroll was a Bond Contract. The Bond Contract Entry required one to ask the other party if they were willing.
It would be fine if it was a woman, but if it had been a man, it would feel strange to ask, as if they had entered the channel of so urban magic boy.
To avoid embarrassnt, Xu Yi had thought of this thod, writing the words on the Parchnt Scroll.
The system did not require the question to be asked out loud; writing it down was also acceptable.
"Maria, concentrate!" Xu Yi suddenly called out.
Maria instinctively stood up straight, and Xu Yi extended a finger to touch the center of her forehead.
[Entry Awakening in progress, estimated ti required: 3 minutes.]
Maria's pupils beca blank in an instant, as she entered the phase of Entry Awakening.
Xu Yi patiently waited, and as the quiet three minutes elapsed, Maria, who had been looking down, suddenly raised her head. The light flickering in her pupils was not of the sa color; the left emitted a holy white light, while the right shone like ink-black light.
At the sa ti, the system's voice sounded next to Xu Yi's ear.
[Entry Awakening successful.]
[Maria currently possesses the "Blank Entry: Soul Transmigration," current progress: 52/100.]
[Soul Transmigration (White Epic): Possesses a mighty force of the soul, can exorcise Ferocious Spirits and Evil Creatures through devout prayer.]
The progress bar had actually surpassed halfway! Xu Yi was a bit surprised.
This indicated Maria had an exceptional talent and could possibly max out the entry on her own without undergoing Entry Awakening.
"Talent regarding the soul really is quite unreasonable," Xu Yi silently reflected.
If the church knew about Maria's talent, they would definitely co to invite her; having this Talent within the church, becoming a Saintess or sothing similar, would be a breeze.
Xu Yi thought that the Entry Awakening was over, but unexpectedly, the system popped up another ssage.
[Ailan currently possesses the "Blank Entry: Valkyrie," current progress: 30/100.]
[Valkyrie (Green Epic):
Ability 1 - Spirit of Martial Combat: (Unlocked)
Any combat-related skills are easily mastered by the Valkyrie.
Ability 2 - Power of the Black Soul: (Partially Unlocked)
Upon invoking the Power of the Black Soul, a series of combat-related attributes are enhanced. (Including: agility, speed, strength, etc.)
Ability 3 - Descent of the Valkyrie: (This ability is unavailable)
Description: When the Power of the Black soul is unleashed, the Valkyrie descends!]
Unexpectedly, Ailan's Talent had also awakened, though Ailan's Favorability was clearly not yet 90.
Could it be due to sharing the sa body?
That was the only explanation Xu Yi could co up with.
After seeing the description of Ailan's entry, he had an epiphany.
No wonder she learned Combat Techniques at such an astonishing speed; it turned out to be the effect of the "Spirit of Martial Combat."
"Combat-related knowledge is not limited to Combat Techniques; it also includes swordsmanship, Marksmanship, Ancient Martial Arts... even tank operation and fighter jet piloting count as combat skills."
At this thought, Xu Yi looked at Ailan and secretly swallowed.
If he trained Ailan well and had her learn a multitude of combat skills, by the ti of mastery, every urban soldier king and mountain-descended successor would pale in comparison.
The reason why Ailan, who possessed a "Green Epic" entry, was suppressed by Maria with a "White Epic" entry, was simple.
Specialization matters, and Maria's talent was the "soul," thus, control over the body was determined by the strength of the soul.
If Ailan had taken control over the body for the first ti and firmly suppressed Maria, not allowing her to erge, perhaps she might have gained the dominant position.
But the mont Maria was let out once, given Maria's soul Talent, she could grasp the crux of it and easily suppress Ailan.
"How do you feel?" Xu Yi asked Maria with a smile.
"It's a strange feeling, like suddenly understanding sothing," Maria felt the change in her body.
"It's too late today; I'll arrange your training plan tomorrow," Xu Yi said as he prepared to leave the room.
"Is this the only reason you called here?" Maria asked, biting her lower lip lightly.
