Evolution?
Lu Ran’s eyes lit up, and he said, "Shikigami can evolve?"
Clearly, Lu Ran didn’t know about this.
Nanami nodded.
She explained, "There are only two ways for a shikigami to beco powerful. The first way cannot be chosen, which is the shikigami’s innate talent and quality. All shikigami are classified into levels. For example, my Kinnara and Yumizakai are S-grade shikigami, while a shikigami like the Carp Spirit is B-grade. It’s not terrible, but in the eyes of a Yin Yang Master with S-grade or even A-grade shikigami, it’s considered trash."
Hearing Nanami call the Carp Spirit trash, Lu Ran’s brows imdiately furrowed.
Nanami continued, "Innate talent and quality are determined at birth and cannot be changed in any postnatal way. Therefore, the quality of a shikigami’s talent directly determines the future growth limit and combat power of a Yin Yang Master."
In simple terms.
Although a Yin Yang Master is a profession,
it’s different from other professions.
For example, Undead Mages, except for Lu Ran, all Undead Mages have no differences.
Whether it’s skills, attribute growth, etc.
The only slight difference is the innate attribute difference when awakening a profession, but it’s negligible.
However, the Yin Yang Master profession is diverse.
Depending on the different shikigami, different qualities, and different combat types, Yin Yang Masters are also classified into various categories: powerful, weak, ranged, close combat, even defense, and healing...
"So, in short, whether a Yin Yang Master is powerful or not all depends on luck?" Lu Ran asked.
"That’s right, a Yin Yang Master’s shikigami contracts cannot be interfered with by external forces and are determined at birth. Even for , contracting Kinnara and Yumizakai was destined." Nanami nodded.
Finally,
she added as if rembering sothing, "There are so special situations where you can choose a shikigami, but the price is quite high."
Lu Ran imdiately understood.
He glanced at Nanami and said, "For example, your Yamata no Orochi, reversed contract, selling your body and soul?"
Nanami was taken aback.
Then she gritted her teeth and nodded.
Lu Ran did not dwell further on this issue but continued to ask, "Go on, what about the second way?"
Nanami took a deep breath to steady her mind.
She continued, "The second way is evolution. Shikigami can evolve, but the thod is extrely cruel. It requires killing other shikigami to obtain the magatama that drops after their death. Magatama contains so of the shikigami’s attributes, and the surviving shikigami can ingest the magatama to gain attribute bonuses. Once they reach a critical point, they can evolve."
Lu Ran’s eyes lit up.
So, the Carp Spirit can fully evolve through this thod!
And...
"If that’s the case, can’t Japan easily create terrifying shikigami at will?" Lu Ran asked.
"That’s the logic, but in Japan, magatama are forbidden. Hunting other Yin Yang Master’s shikigami, if discovered, will be punishable by death by Shintoism," Nanami explained.
It’s understandable.
Although it’s about hunting shikigami, Yin Yang Masters can retrieve shikigami into the shikigami space anyti.
To continue hunting, you would have to kill the shikigami’s owner, the Yin Yang Master, first!
Hunting citizens of the sa country is a serious cri in any nation!
But Lu Ran looked at Nanami with deep aning.
With a smile, he asked, "That’s what the laws say, but as a Divine Son of Shintoism and President of the Ikenai Grand Shrine, you must have used magatama to enhance your Kinnara and Yumizakai, right? Maybe not to the point of evolution, but surely enhanced, right?"
Upon hearing this,
Nanami’s pupils suddenly shrank.
Lu Ran chuckled and said, "Don’t think about hiding it. You know whether or not you’re telling the truth, Yamata no Orochi can sense it."
Nanami looked at Lu Ran.
Finally, she exhaled a breath and slowly said, "I’ve used them."
As expected!
No matter the country, laws usually target ordinary people.
A national pillar like Nanami couldn’t possibly avoid using other ans to beco stronger.
But at this mont.
Nanami continued, "Although I’ve used magatama, they all ca from the black market. I never arranged for anyone to hunt other Yin Yang Master’s shikigami, and it’s not just ; the Inari Grand Shrine and various Divine Palaces have used the sa thods."
But Lu Ran waved his hand.
He said, "How could people at your level know for sure how the manipulators behind you actually obtained the magatama? Are they really from the black market? Either way, it doesn’t matter to . Right now, I just want to know if I can use magatama to evolve the Carp Spirit, right?"
Nanami glanced at the Carp Spirit and nodded, "Yes."
"To what extent can it evolve?" Lu Ran asked again.
"Theoretically, it can evolve infinitely, but that requires an imasurable amount of magatama, which is almost impossible to obtain. Moreover, even if soone takes a risk, they wouldn’t choose to evolve a shikigami of the Carp Spirit’s quality; it’s too wasteful," Nanami said.
"Almost impossible to obtain? What do you an? Didn’t you say you can get magatama by killing other shikigami?" Lu Ran asked.
"Yes, but in Japan, hunting other Yin Yang Masters’ shikigami is illegal," Nanami replied.
"What does their law have to do with ? I’m not Japanese, I’ll kill if I want to kill," Lu Ran shrugged, unconcerned.
Hearing this, Nanami suddenly broke out in cold sweat.
She suddenly realized she had made a foolish mistake!
She had inadvertently disclosed the thod of obtaining magatama to Lu Ran, who isn’t bound by Japanese law!
A person like him wouldn’t hesitate to obliterate Japan just to evolve the Carp Spirit!
Originally, after Longxia’s rise, Japan was already first in line for sanctions by Longxia, and now, it’s even more precarious!
But then again.
Lu Ran had already asked.
Did Nanami have the right to refuse to answer?
Obviously not!
Because of Yamata no Orochi, she’s completely under Lu Ran’s control!
"By the way, Japan and the U.S.A both sent people to infiltrate Longxia to kill , sa as before, but sooner and in fewer numbers. Who arranged for those Yin Yang Masters back then?" Lu Ran suddenly asked.
"It was ," Nanami said casually.
"Oh?" Lu Ran raised an eyebrow, glanced at Nanami, but wasn’t surprised.
After all, the pressure Nanami exerted in the Endless Tower was enormous.
It was understandable she lost reason.
"Back then, all those Yin Yang Masters were killed by , their shikigami died too, but why didn’t I find any magatama?" Lu Ran curiously asked.
"The ones sent to kill you were all ordinary Yin Yang Masters. Their shikigami were of average quality. To obtain magatama, one must kill S-grade or higher shikigami," Nanami said casually.
Lu Ran’s eyes widened.
"You sent people to kill and sent a bunch of small fries? You really underestimated , this Undead Mage," Lu Ran said.
Nanami looked at Lu Ran.
Sighed.
To be honest, back then, Nanami really didn’t view the regular profession of Undead Mage so highly.
