Everyone else is a trainer, but you are a swordsman?

Afterwards, Feng opened Huan Yao's notes, which recorded Huan Yao's experience in using the "Book of Curses".

It was stated at the beginning of the notes that he accidentally obtained this book from a strange old man when he passed by a remote hotel.

The phantom demon was still very weak at the time, accompanied only by a dream demon. The old man in the inn looked at the dream demon for a while, then took out the curse book from somewhere.

Huan Yao took it and looked at it. Feeling that it was not an ordinary item, he accepted it and then stayed in the hotel to rest.

The next day, Huan Yao woke up to find that the hotel and the old man had disappeared, and he and Meng Yao were lying on the lawn. If it weren't for the cursed book he got yesterday still in his bracelet, he would have suspected it was all a dream.

Later, no matter how hard Huan Yao searched, he could not find the hotel, as if it had never existed.

Just like that, Huan Yao got the book.

Judging from Huan Yao's description in his notes, most of the secret techniques in the book are not very practical.

Some secret techniques are so ancient that their effects are not even as good as Pokémon's skills; some are so difficult to find that the materials used to cast them are even lost; and some are so dangerous that they cannot be controlled once used.

Among the remaining secret techniques, Huan Yao eliminated some again through many personal experiments, leaving only a few more valuable secret techniques.

The first is a secret technique that helps humans sneak into the shadows, which he named "Shadow Technique", and it requires a ghost-type Pokémon to use.

It is necessary to use ghost-type Pokémon to control the shadows, slowing down the loss of human life energy and allowing humans to enter the shadows for a short period of time, but over time, vitality will still slowly dissipate.

The second secret technique is called "Soul Devouring Technique", which can increase the level of ghost-type Pokémon by absorbing souls. The higher the qualifications, the better the effect.

But the disadvantage is that if the frequency of absorbing souls is too high and there is not enough time for digestion, the Pokémon's mental state will be affected by the soul of the absorbed person.

There are two conditions for use:

First, the ghost-type Pokémon's qualifications must be at least gym leader level, so that it can accurately sense the existence of the soul.

Second, the level of "food" must be at least advanced, so that the soul can gradually mature.

Although Feng didn't understand the specific principles of the soul, he just needed to follow the experience summarized by Huan Yao over the years, and he shouldn't deliberately make mistakes in his notes.

The remaining secrets involve curses, illusions, and hypnosis, and are special secrets for specific types of Pokémon such as Dream Demons and Cursed Dolls.

Don't even think about the Shield Blade Monster, as it has neither illusion nor curse skills.

After reading the "Cursed Book" and the phantom demon's notes, Feng had an urge to specialize in the ghost system. Various strange and bizarre abilities could help Feng accomplish various tasks, even establishing an organization.

But then he calmed down. Even if he wanted to specialize now, it would be difficult to encounter high-quality Ghost-type Pokémon. How could he obtain a King-level Cursed Doll? How could he obtain a King-level Dream Demon?

For Feng now, the most useful skill is the arcane Soul Devouring Technique, which can quickly increase the level of the Shield Sword Monster.

According to the notes, Soul Devouring would be more effective if aided by cleansing incense, allowing for smoother soul absorption. Feng also happened to have a stolen Pokémon with gym leader-level qualifications and elite strength, so he could use it to test it.

Feng Jiang explained the principles and process of the Soul Devouring Technique to the Shield Sword Monster several times, and then looked at it. The Shield Sword Monster's eyes turned around, and it looked as if it understood but not quite.

Aegisblade has been well-fed and well-served since birth, and has never had the experience of sucking souls or life energy to "fill its hunger". Unlike those wild ghost-type Pokémon, they have no fixed place to live and will only attack humans when they have no food to eat.

So Feng was not sure whether it could successfully perform the secret technique.

……

When he arrived at the training ground, Feng released the elite electric dragon, and then took advantage of its unpreparedness to use the combination of scary face + glare.

While it was stunned, a rapier emitting deep purple ghost energy stabbed quickly and pierced through its right eye. In an instant, the broken eyeball and splattered blood flew in the air.

"Ow!"

The electric dragon let out a shrill roar, and at the same time, a violent electric current burst out from its body, scattering in all directions (discharging). The ground that was struck suddenly turned black and produced a burnt smell.

Feng sheathed his sword and stepped back, the King's Shield floating in front of him, blocking the electric current for him. Because Feng had deliberately held back, the sword did not directly penetrate the lightning dragon's head, giving it room to counterattack.

It is very simple to kill it. For example, you can use the Rockslide skill to wrap a layer of sharp stones on the sword, and then pierce the electric dragon's skull to control the stones to fly everywhere. The electric dragon will be shot into a sieve and will definitely not survive.

But in order to absorb its soul, we have to keep it alive for the time being.

Then, when the electric dragon went crazy, the Shield Blade Monster fired a shadow ball, making it lose its combat ability.

Looking at the unconscious Electric Dragon in front of him, Feng began to arrange the scene according to the methods in the notes.

He prepared the necessary items, lit the cleansing incense, and then had the Shield Blade come to the side of the lightning dragon.

As the aroma spread, Feng felt a mysterious power surge. He stood aside, staring intently at the lightning dragon and the shield sword monster, waiting for the result.

However, after some time had passed, the Shield Blade Monster did not show any obvious changes.

"What went wrong?"

Feng carefully considered every detail in the notes.

Was the cleansing incense burned too briefly, its fragrance not strong enough? Or was the lightning dragon's soul too powerful for the Aegisblade to absorb? Or was it the Aegisblade's first time absorbing souls, and he was a bit rusty at it?

Feng was unwilling to give up and decided to try again.

He performed each step with greater concentration, and soon the fragrance gradually spread, forming a thin layer of smoke.

This time, a faint light emanated from the Shield Sword Monster, and then its sword tassel began to flutter.

"Did it succeed?"

Feng stared at the Shield Sword Monster nervously, looking forward to the next changes.

The electric dragon's body began to tremble, emitting a faint purple light. Its face showed an extremely painful expression in its coma, and blood began to slowly seep out of its seven orifices.

Suddenly, its only remaining eye widened, as if looking at something in the air, and then its body straightened up, and it stopped breathing with its eyes open.

After that, the light lasted for a moment and then disappeared, and the trembling body of the Shield Blade Monster returned to calm.

Feng checked the attribute panel of the Shield Sword Monster and found that it had actually upgraded to level 44!

Although it has been upgraded, its current state is a bit strange. The eyes on the hilt are closed, and the sword body is floating quietly, as if it has fallen asleep and immersed in another world.

After a while, it opened its eyes and returned to normal.

"Shield Sword Monster, what happened to you just now?" Feng asked with concern, with a hint of anxiety in his tone.

The Shieldsword Monster floated towards Feng, rubbed his arm with the hilt of its sword, then raised the tassel of its sword and stroked Feng's cheek, indicating that it was fine.

Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief and stroked the sword with his hand, his movements gentle and slow, as if he was caring for his lover.
