Throne of Seals: Underworld Priest, Demon Nightmare

Chapter 8: Cai'er's Return to Light! The Demon Hunter Trials Begin!
Exorcism Pass, the main hall of the Assassin's Temple.

"Cai'er!"

When Chu Zichen arrived at the familiar old place again, he saw Cai'er, who had been eagerly waiting for him.

It's been a long time since we last saw her, and now 14-year-old Cai'er has grown into an even more graceful young lady.

She had long, silky purple hair cascading over her shoulders, and her skin was as white as snow. A purple silk veil covered her delicate features, leaving only her beautiful eyes exposed, which were grayish-white and devoid of any luster.

"Zichen, you're here!"

Although she had lost her sight, Cai'er's hearing became even more acute. She heard Chu Zichen's footsteps from afar, and even his familiar voice. A captivating smile involuntarily appeared beneath her veil.

Unfortunately, I can't see him now, so I can't see what he looks like now.

"Cai'er, do you believe me? I can restore your lost sight."

Chu Zichen held Cai'er's soft little hand with a touch of tenderness, looking into her grayish-white eyes as he spoke.

"Really, really?"

Upon hearing this, Cai'er couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

The loss of her six senses was a side effect of the Reincarnation Furnace. The Assassin's Temple had searched for many so-called elixirs for her, but none of them had any effect.

"When have I ever lied to you? Close your eyes, and now you will witness a miracle."

Chu Zichen smiled slightly, waved his hand, and released a green light that enveloped Cai'er.

Life Reshaping Technique!
"Such a rich sense of life..."

Cai'er inherited the Reincarnation Spirit Furnace, possessing the attribute of death. However, she felt no aversion to this completely opposite life force.

Soon, she felt a warm sensation in her eyes, as if countless cells were coming alive, gradually bringing light into her dark vision, like the breaking of dawn!

Saw!
Her eyes could actually see again!
The first thing that caught Cai'er's eye was Chu Zichen's handsome face, especially his pair of obsidian-like, sparkling eyes, which were looking at her with deep affection.

"Zichen!! Thank you!"

Cai'er's beautiful purple eyes, which had regained their luster, suddenly welled up with glistening tears.

The next second, she threw herself into Chu Zichen's arms, her crystal tears falling like pearls, her heart overflowing with emotion and love.

"Why are you being so polite with me?"

Chu Zichen also took the opportunity to put one arm around Cai'er's slender waist and gently stroke her hair with the other hand to soothe her emotions.

"You brat, you actually made my Cai'er cry?!"

Just then, a slender figure appeared as if cutting through space; it was none other than Cai'er's great-grandfather, Sheng Yue.

When he saw Cai'er shed tears, he immediately became furious and looked like he was about to attack Chu Zichen.

"Great-grandfather! Stop!"

Cai'er reacted immediately and quickly stopped Sheng Yue.

"Cai'er, what's wrong?... Hmm, your eyes?"

Sheng Yue was stunned for a moment, and just as she asked a question, she was surprised to find that Cai'er's eyes had regained their former brilliance.

Cai'er's eyesight has actually recovered?

But isn't the side effects of this cycle of reincarnation furnace only just beginning?

“Great-grandfather, my eyesight has been restored, all thanks to Zichen. He helped me regain my vision.”

Cai'er began to explain.

"Is this...is this real?! Zichen, how did you do that?" Shengyue was speechless, looking at Chu Zichen in disbelief.

"It's true, this is a new skill I've learned. I was just trying it out on a whim, but I didn't expect it to actually work."

Chu Zichen said with a smile.

"Alright, alright, Zichen, your great-grandfather was wrong to misunderstand you! Your great-grandfather apologizes!"

Sheng Yue burst into laughter. Chu Zichen is truly a treasure!
Making him my great-son-in-law was the wisest choice I could make.

With Chu Zichen by her side from now on, Cai'er no longer needs to worry about suffering the backlash from the Reincarnation Furnace.

Before long, Sheng Lingxin and Lan Yanyu also learned the news that Cai'er's eyesight had recovered, and they were overjoyed.

"Zichen, we don't know how to thank you enough!"

The Holy Spirit was deeply moved, and Lan Yanyu couldn't help but shed tears.

"By the way, our Sheng family has a self-created skill called [Transplantation]. Zichen, since we're family anyway, I'll teach it to you today."

Suddenly, the Holy Spirit thought of something and made a suggestion.

graft?

Chu Zichen did not refuse Holy Spirit Heart's kindness and nodded in agreement: "Then I will accept it without hesitation."

Soon, Holy Spirit Heart took out a secret manual, handed it to Chu Zichen, and gave him a brief introduction.

The so-called "grafting" is actually a special ability to store other skills within oneself.

After using the "Transplantation" skill, you can store any skill within your body, which is equivalent to accumulating spiritual power. Once the storage is complete, you can instantly unleash the skill at any time, with a time limit of one hour. After the time limit is exceeded, the skill becomes useless.

If used properly, this "transferring flowers and grafting trees" technique is indeed a divine skill. For example, Chu Zichen could use it to store Cai'er's assassin skills in advance and launch a surprise attack on the enemy at a crucial moment.

……

The next morning, Chu Zichen, Cai'er, and the other four participating assassins from the Assassin Temple gathered together: Mu Ning, Han Daosi, Xing Xuan, and Chuan Yang.

Apart from Cai'er, who is at the fifth rank, the other four assassins are only at the fourth rank.

"That seemingly frail pastor is actually our brother-in-law?" Xingxuan asked softly, looking at Chu Zichen and Cai'er, who were holding hands intimately.

This was the first time he had ever seen the leader of the Assassin's Temple treat a woman in such a way.

"Yeah, I wonder what it is about him that my older sister sees in him?" Chuan Yang couldn't help but complain.

"Hmph, I hope he won't be a burden when we go on a mission!" Han Daosi said coldly.

"Alright, let's all keep quiet. Since we're a team, we should help each other. The priest's role in the team is also indispensable." In the end, Mu Ning ended the topic.

At this moment, a figure draped in a black cloak appeared ghost-like in front of Chu Zichen and the others. His face was covered by a mask, revealing only a pair of sharp, hawk-like eyes.

"Are you ready?"

This person was the inspector sent by the Temple Alliance, mainly responsible for secretly supervising and protecting the contestants.

However, once the inspector intervenes, it means that this batch of contestants will be disqualified.

"Ready!"

Chu Zichen and the others all nodded.

"Then, let's not delay and set off immediately."
