Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

Sishen base.

Yi Yin hadn't expected him to come back after all this time. As soon as they arrived at the Four Gods base, Qinglong left without looking back. As she'd said before, she wouldn't be around for the time being.

It was already vacation time, and the already sparsely populated Four Gods Base became even more deserted. Yi Yin didn't stay for long and quickly slipped back to his dormitory.

When she got to the dormitory, Yi Yin found that Xing Qiri was not there. He must have gone home for the holiday. However, he was kind enough to leave some goodies for Yi Yin.

"Brother Yiyin, you're so mean! You didn't even tell me you were returning to the Cross Base. Well, by the time you see this letter, I won't be at the Four Gods Base anymore. But since you'll see it sooner or later, I'll tell you in advance. I found a manual, and seeing that you often stay up late at night practicing, I thought you might need it, so I left it to you.

Xing Qiri

Attached to the letter was a book of martial arts techniques. It looked no different from ordinary martial arts techniques, but Yi Yin found it difficult to understand how to learn it.

[Detection (Active): Allows you to view a character's specific data. This skill takes priority over shielding skills, prioritizing interference removal to enhance detection effectiveness. Range: 10 meters. Consume to gain enlightenment.]

With the help of the system, Yi Yin learned the specific effects of this technique, but...

I'm sorry for eating this book raw.

Yi Yin gritted his teeth, put the "Detection Technique" into his mouth and began to chew it.

In fact, after overcoming the psychological barrier, "Detection" tastes quite bland, but compared with Suzaku's dishes, it is truly a delicacy.

Finished.

At that moment, a golden light exploded in Yiyin's mind, and he felt that he had an epiphany.

Just like when Angulin taught him the breath-holding technique, he had already learned the detection technique!

"(Are you okay?)"

Yi Yin was still savoring this feeling when he suddenly heard someone calling him.

Damn it, I was so engrossed that I forgot about Xuanwu.

Xuanwu's golden pupils were too conspicuous. Yi Yin wondered if she had seen him consume his skills through them. No, she must not know!

So embarrassing.

"Senior Xuanwu, I heard what Senior Qinglong said, but I really want to know what tomorrow's sacrifice will be like?" Yiyin decided to change the subject.

"(It's okay to say this. Tomorrow's ritual is actually to stabilize the blood power in my body. Because the power of the Word Spirit has many limitations, it must be strengthened every year. I'm really sorry to ask you to be the one to check it for me.)"

"No, this is what I should do."

Yiyin chatted with Xuanwu for a few more trivial words, and seeing that Xuanwu really didn't seem to notice that he had eaten his martial arts skills, Yiyin secretly rejoiced.

After Xuanwu left, Yiyin began to practice his new skills.

He was pleasantly surprised to find that this technique was just as described, no, it even went a step further, it could achieve clairvoyance!

When he discovered this powerful function, Yi Yin had already thought of several clever uses for it. If he encountered a monster with the ability to replicate like the Thousand-Faced Demon Moth in the future, he could use detection technology to directly identify its true form!

With unrealistic fantasies about the future, Yi Yin fell into a sweet dream...

.

The next day.

Yiyin was woken up. When he realized that he still had to help Xuanwu check at noon, he jumped out of bed.

When he finished washing up and arrived at the meeting place, he found that Baihu, Suzaku and Xuanwu had been waiting for a long time.

They were still wearing their classic outfits. I remember last time we went to Ludan, they claimed they were coming back soon and didn't change their clothes. I wonder if they'll make the same mistake again this time.

At the entrance of the Four Gods Base, a man who looked like a butler poked his head out of an oversized Beetle and said, "Ladies, get in the car!"

It was really surprising that Yiyin inexplicably became one of the "ladies" in the housekeeper's mouth.

"(Iin, this is my housekeeper, Mr. Brownson.)"

Xuanwu sat in the passenger seat of the super-large Beetle, and Yiyin had no choice but to squeeze into the back seat with Baihu Zhuque.

Mr. Brownson's Beetle is not only bigger and more majestic than Selena's in size, but also much faster than Selena.

The amazing thing is that when sitting in Mr. Brownson’s oversized Beetle, there was no dizziness or vomiting at all. Instead, it was very comfortable, so comfortable that one wanted to fall asleep directly.

"Hey, Yiyin, wake up! Your saliva is all over my clothes!"

Yiyin tilted her head and fell asleep on Baihu's shoulder, without considering Baihu's feelings at all.

In comparison, Suzaku was much luckier because she was not easily noticed due to her figure, so she fell asleep directly.

"I'm sorry... Baihu-senpai..."

Yi Yin knew very well that Baihu was very skilled. If he attacked, he would suffer physical pain. It would be better for him to surrender as soon as possible.

Xuanwu was still the same as before, not talking much. He just stared at the scenery outside, not knowing what he was thinking.

Mr. Brownson drove for about an hour and arrived at Xuanwu's residence.

.

The Xuanwu family was indeed very grand. Yi Yin saw two or three maids and old women cleaning the yard.

Xuanwu led the way and led everyone to the reception room.

Baihu and Zhuque had obviously been to Xuanwu's house many times and seemed to be used to it. Only Yiyin kept staring at them like a country bumpkin.

"Master, I have brought the young ladies."

When they arrived at the door of the reception room, Mr. Brownson asked them to wait for a while and went to report to someone.

"Well done, Bronson. You may withdraw first."

"Yes."

After Mr. Brownson left, Yi Yin and his companions entered the reception room in an orderly manner.

At the table in the living room, a pair of middle-aged men were chatting and laughing. Their relationship was somewhat similar to that of the Gemini mentors.

Although the two men looked somewhat alike, Yiyin could still vaguely feel that they were actually brothers.

"I met uncle."

Baihu and Zhuque saluted the two men. Seeing this, Yiyin also followed suit and saluted.

"Hehehe..."

The younger of the two laughed and said, "Don't panic, young man. My name is Sai Xiaoxi, the current head of the Xuanwu clan and Xuanwu's father. The one next to me is my brother Sai Daxi."

Sai Daxi nodded slightly to Yiyin.

"I've already instructed the kitchen to prepare the dishes. Once the sacrificial ceremony is over, you can stay and eat as usual."

"How can this be so embarrassing..."

Before Yiyin could say anything, the green-haired turtle on his head couldn't help but scream loudly.

Yi Yin smiled awkwardly. Fortunately, the brothers Sai Daxi and Sai Xiaoxi were not particular about trivial matters and did not take it too seriously.

"I must explain something," Sai Daxi said, "Although my nephew's sacrifice has been performed many times, I still hope that everyone will be more careful. Because this is the sacrifice of my nephew's sixteenth birthday, it is more powerful and dangerous than before..."

"Uncle, don't worry."

Baihu bowed and said, "We have been friends with Xuanwu for many years. This young man next to me even defeated me at the school festival. His strength is absolutely beyond doubt."

"Go."

Sai Xiaoxi waved his hand and said, "The sacrifice will be held in the church, just like before. I'll wait for you here."

"Do you want me to go with you?"

Sai Daxi looked at Sai Xiaoxi, "I have a feeling something will happen during this sacrifice..."

"Brother, you're worrying too much. You and I can have some tea here and wait for them to come back."

Sai Daxi wanted to say something, but seeing Sai Xiaoxi was so determined, he had to give up.
