Chapter 96: Yin-Yang Magic and the Most Powerful Ghost

[Life equipment has been upgraded to "0 star 5th level"]

[Triggering star upgrade requirements]

[Requirement 1: Rune column is filled]

[Requirement 2: Consume "10000" spirituality]

[Requirement 3: Consume any "1-star rating" material x 1]

Zhou Yan remained silent as he watched the prompts flashing before his eyes.

Filling up the rune bar and gaining 10,000 spiritual points was not a big problem for him.

The question now is where to find this "1-star rating" material.

After all, the highest level opponents he can currently see in this world are at the level of Ibaraki Douji and Dai Tengu. They are only at the "4th level", not even the "5th level". How can they provide Zhou Yan with "1 star" level materials?
So, are there any opponents in this world that are stronger than these big monsters?

Zhou Yan put his mind at rest and stopped thinking about things that he had no idea about for the time being.

He comforted the sad girl, then looked at her barely calmed face and the determined look in her eyes, knowing that she had not given up the idea of ​​following him.

However, Zhou Yan, who couldn't make any promises for the time being, didn't want to say much about it. Everything would wait until he could be promoted to one star and unlocked the "Life Equipment User" function.

That night, Zhou Yan received a call from the paper Asuka-shikigami sent by Haruaki Gomonin to invite him over for a chat.

"Qingming, I want to learn your Yin-Yang technique, but it really takes a lot of effort."

When he saw the owner of the Demon-Slaying Lodge, Zhou Yan teased him with a smile.

Gomonin Haruaki saw that Zhou Yan's attire had changed again, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Obviously, no one in this era similar to ancient Japan had ever seen such exquisite close-fitting armor.

"Master Yan, I'm afraid that even if all the skilled craftsmen in the world were gathered together, they would not be able to make this armor." Qingming's eyes flickered. "The only thing I can think of is that this is the craftsmanship of God."

"It is said that whenever the weather turns bad, Amaterasu will send gods to help the people of Genroku."

Yumenyuan looked at Zhou Yan with burning eyes: "Master Yan, could it be that the god has descended to earth?"

"Haha, you can think whatever you want, but just teach me the Yin-Yang technique first." Zhou Yan didn't care about it and just happily repeated his purpose.

"Since you are the messenger of God, if you want Yin-Yang magic, Qingming should offer it with both hands." Qingming smiled and nodded at Zhou Yan: "But, Lord Yan, can you agree to one request of mine?"

"Just say it." Zhou Yan laughed.

"I hope that this time I will only teach you, Master Yan, and you must not teach it to others."

"No problem!" Zhou Yan agreed immediately, "Don't worry, I won't give it to anyone in this world."

"Then I'll leave it to Lord Yan." After hearing Zhou Yan's agreement, although it was only a verbal agreement.

Gomonin Haruaki also smiled.

The next day, Zhou Yan hugged Long and woke up from the bed arranged for him in the house.

The girl in his arms hugged his waist tightly. Feeling his movement, she immediately opened her eyes sensitively. Seeing that she was still in Zhou Yan's arms, she relaxed again and said drowsily: "Master Yan, are you going to get up? I, I will help you wash up."

After saying that, she sat up. The kimono she was wearing was too loose and most of it had fallen off one of her shoulders.

It was still dawn outside when a large swath of holy light shone inside the room, almost blinding Zhou Yan's only remaining left eye.

"Long, be careful of the impact." Zhou Yan pulled up her clothes helplessly.

"Hehe." The girl giggled, and Zhou Yan's old face became a little hot, so he simply stood up from the bed.

A black light armor appeared on his body.

Now that his life armor has been upgraded to the fifth level, all parts of his body have been turned into hard light armor. It would be fine for him to sleep alone, but this kid Long insisted on sleeping with him.

With no other options, he could only remove the life suit and put his skin against the girl's to help her sleep better.

All of this is to allow Long to have a good sleep.

It was definitely not him, Zhou Yan, who was aroused by the girl wearing a loose kimono and moving around in the bed last night. He could no longer hold back and finally lost control. He taught the girl a good lesson on the newly learned Yin-Yang techniques, which led to this situation.

Absolutely not!

In response, Zhou Yan expressed that he was upright and had no regrets!

When Long saw Zhou Yan get up, he also got up. His movements were quick and agile, without any of the awkwardness that he had as a beginner when he was studying Yin-Yang magic with Zhou Yan last night.

That's normal. She's a swordsman of the Longliu style. Although she doesn't use her overbearing demonic power to continuously strengthen her body outside of combat, after countless battles, her physical fitness has been subtly enhanced by her demonic power to a level beyond that of ordinary people.

The minor injuries she suffered while studying Yin-Yang magic were nothing to her.

As for Zhou Yan, he was even less afraid.

Let’s talk about Yin-Yang magic.

This time it’s real, it’s the Yin-Yang technique that Gomonin Haruaki taught Zhou Yan.

The result was just as Qingming expected - because Zhou Yan had already been activated by the Oboro Seal, he was interfered with by the demonic power and could only use the Yin-Yang magic driven by the so-called "spiritual power". Zhou Yan was completely unusable.

Even the simplest and most basic talismans cannot be summoned.

However, Zhou Yan was not discouraged.

In the end, he chose to memorize all the "Gomon-in Onmyoji Notes" given by Qingming.

This was not a difficult task for him - his spiritual attributes were extremely high, and by activating the spiritual burning, he easily recorded the entire thick notebook into his memory hall.

When he finds a way to isolate himself from the demonic power pollution in the future, he will have the opportunity to learn formally. Even if he can't learn, it would be good to find a chance for Luo Xuan and Luo Ke to learn after returning to reality.

After all, Zhou Yan only promised Qingming that he would not teach it to anyone in "this world", but he did not say that he would not teach it to other worlds.

After getting up, washing and eating, Zhou Yan took Long back to the team.

The final team was the five people decided yesterday.

Onmyoji, Archer Maiden, Monk, Ninja, and Shrine Maiden form a complete team.

"Lord Yan, did you have a good rest last night?" Yumenyuan Qingming glanced at Zhou Yan and Long, squinted his eyes and smiled, looking like a fox.

Zhou Yan glared at the fox, feeling that there was something else behind his words: "So, what was the plan you discussed yesterday?"

Seeing Zhou Yan talking about business, the head of the Demon Slayer Lodge also straightened his expression and said, "The team is divided into three levels. The six or seven of us will be the main force. We will first go up Mount Fugaku from Aokigahara to clear the mountain road blocked by a large number of monsters. The follow-up team will be the elite warriors from the Monster Extermination Assembly. They will follow behind us to guard and support us. After that, the army sent by General Tsunayoshi will enter the mountain to completely eliminate the remaining monsters."

He looked around and whispered, "We don't need to worry about the people behind us. After we reach the top of Mount Fugaku, we will directly attack the prison gate of the crater!"

Then, he looked at the solemn faces of the people and smiled: "If it was before Lord Yan's help, and we were the only ones going, it would almost certainly be a one-way trip, but now Lord Yan has joined us..."

His expression became excited: "Everyone, we may become the legend that completely ends this demonic chaos. Even if we die here, what's the harm!?"

Zhou Yan looked at the few people who were completely inspired by Qingming's exciting words, and just smiled cooperatively.

Maybe it is true as the dormitory owner said, for the people of this world, it is indeed a great honor to be able to join this legendary team.

At this time, seven rare tall horses were led over, and Qingming was the first to mount.

"Then, let's go!"

*
*
Mount Fugaku is still hundreds of meters away from the crater.

A giant one-eyed monk in a monk's robe flew out from the dense forest and fell among the red rocks.

Just as it was struggling to get up, the next second, a figure in black armor jumped out of the forest, dropped from the sky, and stomped the head of the Cyclops monk to pieces.

[Kill "Aobozu" and gain spirituality 157]

[You gain "Rune Factor·Physique"]

[You gain "Rune Factor: Agility"]

Zhou Yan didn't even have the interest to look at the attributes of the monster named Qingfangzhu. He casually rubbed his life boots on the monk's robe on the monster, raised his head and looked at the six people who followed closely.

The one running to the front was naturally his little follower Long, who was concerned about him. She came to Zhou Yan and said, "Master Yan, how come you have to fight all the powerful monsters you encountered along the way? This is too tiring!"

"That's right." The five people who followed closely were speechless.

"Master Yan, can you at least let us take action as well?"

"Just take a break. Don't wait until the real battle, or you'll be in poor condition."

"Master Yan, please believe in our strength!"

Qingming and his companions are already prepared, eager to clear the obstacles of the little monsters for Zhou Yan, the "ultimate weapon", so that Zhou Yan can save his energy for the decisive battle.

As a result, after several hours of traveling, we went from the official road to a small road, and then from the small road to cross the entire Aokigahara Forest.

Then we got to the point close to the crater on the top of the mountain.

Except for those small monsters that Zhou Yan really looked down upon and were left for them to deal with, all other powerful monsters that could be named were all killed by Zhou Yan in one move, without giving them any chance to show their full value.

Zhou Yan was like a god who never got tired and no one could persuade him.

As for Zhou Yan himself, after hearing everyone's dissuasion again, he could only smile and shake his head to indicate that he had no problem.

Of course he has no problem!

After his life equipment was upgraded to the fifth level, his endurance was further improved. Dealing with some monsters was barely even a warm-up exercise, so how could he possibly give the treasure-delivering boys to his teammates?

So along the way, Zhou Yan started a killing spree, especially after entering Aokigahara and climbing Mount Fugaku, all kinds of monsters attacked them in waves as if they were risking their lives, which made Zhou Yan very happy.

However, most of them are "level 0" monsters with extremely low drop rates, and not many can reach "level 1".

There are only about ten monsters in total that can reach the "Level 2" level like Aoandon.

But it was enough for Zhou Yan to fill up his rune column again after he reached the fifth level, and there were still several left over.

Even the rune circuits have three more: "Ingenious", "Magic" and "Thorns".

In addition to rune factors and rune circuits, Zhou Yan also saved up a lot of consumables such as "Micro Life Essence" and nearly five thousand spiritualities.

"We're finally at the top of the mountain." Zhou Yan turned to look at Qingming who had followed him up, "What kind of ghost do you think is guarding the prison gate?"

When Qingming heard Zhou Yan's question, his face became slightly solemn. "I have checked from my ancestors' notes that the one in charge of guarding the place is a terrifying ghost that crawled out from the depths of the hell of waiting for death. It is a super powerful ghost that should not appear in the human world. Even the ghost king Shuten Douji, who is known as the 'ghost god' in the legend, is not as powerful as that ghost."

Qingming was interrupted before he could finish his words.

"That's right!"

A loud laugh came from the forest behind the crowd: "I had a tentative fight with that big ghost. If it hadn't been unable to leave the prison gate, I would have been torn into pieces long ago!"

"Who is it!" The ninja Arashimaru from Murasaki Village suddenly threw a huge cross dart in the direction of the sound coming from the woods.

Before the dart flew into the woods, a red shadow rushed out of the woods at an extremely fast speed and deflected the giant dart halfway with just one finger.

Then, in just a few steps, as if shrinking the distance into an inch, he arrived behind Zhou Yan and his group.

Countless volcanic ashes were blown up by the strong wind caused by his rapid rush. In the dust, a tall, strong and sturdy man with red hair and bare upper body slowly walked towards the crowd.
