Throne of Seals: Underworld Priest, Demon Nightmare

Chapter 32 Talent Suppression Sharing, Signing a Servant Contract with Li Xin?

In the original storyline, when Holy Spirit Heart was on a mission, she was ambushed by the three demon gods outside the Exorcism Pass and had no choice but to use the Rejuvenation Furnace.

In the end, it was thanks to Long Haochen's Haoyue that they were able to escape. However, Haoyue's true identity—Austin Griffin, the God of Divine Punishment—was exposed to the demons, even attracting the Demon God Emperor Fengxiu to personally come to the Exorcism Pass.

"Your Uncle Saint? He's a very nice person, but he's still at the command post and can't get away for the time being."

Lan Yanyu spoke.

Chu Zichen nodded knowingly. It seemed that because of the butterfly effect he had created, the Holy Spirit Heart had not encountered any danger outside, and Haoyue's true identity had not been exposed for the time being. This was also good news for him.

"By the way, in view of your outstanding performance in yesterday's decapitation operation, the Exorcism Pass Command has decided to provide you all with meals according to the standards for priests."

As Lan Yanyu spoke, she ordered people to bring in a variety of exquisite breakfasts, including steamed buns, meat soup, vegetables, fruit, and even a low-level magical beast egg with great nourishing effects for each person.

Within the Temple Alliance, soldiers of different professions are provided with different meals, mainly because the physical needs and conditions of different professions are different.

For example, knights and warriors need high-calorie foods to maintain high physical exertion, while assassins need to keep their bodies light, thus prohibiting the intake of too much fat and staple food.

As for priests, mages, and summoners, their requirements for food are even higher, because they consume mental energy.

The pastor had the highest standard of living among them.

Upon hearing this, Chu Zichen and the others were overjoyed. People are made of iron, and food is essential; the issue of meals is indeed of utmost importance.

Next, they began to eat heartily without any hesitation. Except for Cai'er, Li Xuefei, and Chen Ying'er, who ate relatively little, Chu Zichen, Li Xin, and Wang Yuanyuan all ate far more than ordinary soldiers.

Seeing Cai'er getting along so well with her fellow members of the Demon Hunter team, Lan Yanyu's lips curled into a faint smile.

When Cai'er was young, they failed in their responsibilities as parents, and now they have no chance to make up for it.

Lan Yanyu could only place her hopes on Chu Zichen and the other members of the No. 1 Demon Hunter Team, asking them to take good care of Cai'er and give her warmth and love.

……

During the time when there were no city defense duties, Chu Zichen and his six companions devoted themselves to cultivation in the barracks.

"Sister Li Xin, come out for a moment, I have something I want to discuss with you."

After everyone else had entered a meditative state, Chu Zichen quietly approached Li Xin.

Li Xin also trusted Chu Zichen unconditionally, so she didn't disturb Li Xuefei who was cultivating nearby, and left the barracks with him.

"Commander, what can I do for you?" Li Xin asked curiously as she arrived outside the barracks.

"Sister Li Xin, have you ever heard of 'Talent Suppression Sharing'?" Chu Zichen asked directly.

Li Xin shook her head, somewhat confused.

Chu Zichen explained it to her briefly: the talent suppression and sharing actually exists between the master and the servant.

The relationship between master and squire is not limited to master knight and squire knight; it also includes master mage and squire warrior, master priest and squire warrior, and so on.

The two were closely related, and when signing the entourage contract, it was necessary for both parties to maintain a blood connection, with each contributing fresh blood as a link.

During the contract process, if the master's talent far surpasses that of the follower (the minimum standard is a difference of 30 in innate spiritual power between the two), then the follower's talent will improve along with the master's talent.

This improvement is equivalent to halving the difference in innate spiritual power between the two parties. However, once the contract ends, this talent enhancement of the follower will disappear.

After Chu Zichen explained the details to Li Xin, the intelligent girl quickly realized what was going on:

"Commander, you...you want to help me improve my innate spiritual power?"

The so-called entourage contract is just a method. Chu Zichen's purpose is to help Li Xin improve her innate spiritual power. In this way, her future cultivation speed and ultimate achievements will be twice as effective and rise accordingly.

“That’s right. Although this requires us to sign a servitude contract, I guarantee that we will still have an equal relationship and I will never force you to do anything you don’t want to do. You can also request to terminate the servitude contract at any time.”

Chu Zichen explained.

The title of "attendant" does indeed imply a subordinate relationship, and unless forced to, it is unlikely that anyone would willingly become someone else's attendant.

After all, once the attendant contract is completed, the attendant must never disobey any of the master's orders. At the same time, the master can control the attendant's life and death with just his thoughts.

"I believe in you! And it is my honor to be your squire!"

Li Xin agreed almost without hesitation.

She didn't care much about titles or anything like that, and as long as she and Chu Zichen didn't tell anyone, how would others know?

What's more, this is a great opportunity to enhance one's innate spiritual power!
Li Xin knew that she had the worst talent in the No. 1 Demon Hunter Team, despite being the oldest, her cultivation level was second to last.

Although she appeared carefree and nonchalant on the surface, she was actually quite traumatized.

It's likely that as time goes on, the gap between her and the other members will widen, and she'll eventually become a burden on the team.

She didn't want to fall behind or become a burden.

So now that such a great opportunity to improve her talent is right in front of her, how could she possibly miss it!
"Alright, let's not delay any longer, let's proceed with the entourage contract now."

Chu Zichen was prepared for this and quickly had Li Xin extend her right hand, drawing a pattern of a vassal contract on her palm.

Generally speaking, the two parties signing a follower contract also need an attribute contract, so a knight with the Light attribute and a priest with the same Light attribute are very suitable, such as Long Haochen and Sima Xian in the original work.

Li Xin is naturally a knight of the Light attribute, while Chu Zichen possesses both the Light and Life attributes.

Immediately, Chu Zichen cut his finger, and a drop of blood fell onto the attendant contract on Li Xin's right palm.

Chu Zichen's blood dripped into Li Xin's palm, instantly turning into a faint red light and disappearing.

Immediately afterwards, a red aura spread out from the attendant contract and engulfed Li Xin's entire body.

The contract was successful!
Li Xin could clearly sense that a close connection seemed to have formed between her and Chu Zichen.

However, this relationship has a hierarchy of master and servant; Chu Zichen is the master, and she is the servant.

Next, another special green halo rippled out from the vassal contract.

In an instant, Li Xin felt every pore on her body open up, and warm, comfortable currents of heat flowed from the inside out, as if her body were soaking in a hot spring, making her feel extremely refreshed.

Is this what they call talent suppression sharing?
She could already feel the earth-shattering changes happening inside her body!
