Chapter 238: A Chance to Break Through? This Is the Terror of the One and Only God?!

"An Innate Technique? I don't think either Xiang Xiang Monan or I have one."

Yukinoshita Haruno frowned slightly upon hearing this and said.

She didn't know much about Cursed Techniques, but from conversations between Zen'in Maki and Tengen and the others, she had roughly pieced together some of it.

The reason sorcerers could use Cursed Techniques was that they were born with an Innate Technique — a kind of ability similar to a natural talent.

And those without an Innate Technique could not become sorcerers, and could only learn other supernatural powers like Onmyodo.

"Whether you have one or not, we won't know until we test. Let's test first before saying anything."

Dairenji Suzuka said with a faint smile.

As a top student of the Onmyo Academy, she had a deep understanding of both Cursed Techniques and Onmyodo.

Moreover, she herself possessed an Innate Technique, and a rare one at that — a dual technique, allowing her to learn both Cursed Techniques and Onmyodo.

Of course, what she was best at was still Onmyodo.

After all, she was a heiress of the Tuyu Sect, and the Tuyu Sect was a clan renowned for Onmyodo.

"Then let's test."

Yukinoshita Haruno nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Xiang Xiang Monan could only nod and agree as well.

So Dairenji Suzuka began testing the two for an Innate Technique.

A moment later, the results came out.

"Yukinoshita Haruno has no Innate Technique and cannot learn Cursed Techniques."

Dairenji Suzuka announced.

Hearing this, Yukinoshita Haruno did not show a disappointed expression; instead, she let out a breath of relief.

She actually didn't want to learn Cursed Techniques — she felt they were too dangerous. She only wanted to learn some supernatural power that could protect herself without being too perilous.

"Xiang Xiang Monan also has no Innate Technique and cannot learn Cursed Techniques."

Dairenji Suzuka said to Xiang Xiang Monan.

Hearing this, a look of loss appeared on Xiang Xiang Monan's face.

She had actually really wanted to learn Cursed Techniques — she thought they were cool and flashy.

But now the test results were out, and she had no Innate Technique and couldn't learn Cursed Techniques, which made her a little sad.

Seeing this, Xiang Lian patted Xiang Xiang Monan on the shoulder and comforted her: "It's fine. If you can't learn Cursed Techniques, you can learn Onmyodo! Onmyodo is also very powerful, and it can protect you just the same."

Hearing this, Xiang Xiang Monan raised her head to look at Xiang Lian, her eyes shining with a hopeful light, and asked: "Really? Can I really learn Onmyodo?"

Xiang Lian smiled and nodded, saying: "Of course. Onmyodo and Cursed Techniques are both forms of supernatural power. As long as you're willing to learn, I'll have someone teach you."

Hearing this, a happy smile appeared on Xiang Xiang Monan's face, and she nodded repeatedly, saying: "I'm willing to learn, I'm willing to learn!"

"Good. Then once we've finished eating, I'll have Iori Utahime and the others teach you." Xiang Lian said.

"Mm, thank you, Xiang Lian-gege!" Xiang Xiang Monan said gratefully.

Seeing this, Yukinoshita Haruno also said: "Xiang Lian, I want to learn Onmyodo too. Is that alright?"

Hearing this, Xiang Lian glanced at Yukinoshita Haruno, nodded, and said: "Of course you can. Once we've finished eating, I'll have Iori Utahime and the others teach you as well."

"Thank you, my lord Xiang Lian!"

Hearing this, a happy smile appeared on Yukinoshita Haruno's face.

Hearing this, the other women all looked toward Xiang Lian one after another, their eyes shining with envy.

They all very much wanted to learn supernatural power, but none of them had an Innate Technique, so they couldn't learn Cursed Techniques.

Now that Xiang Lian said he could let them learn Onmyodo, they were naturally very happy and excited.

Xiang Lian looked at the women, smiled faintly, and said: "Don't worry. As long as you're willing to learn, I'll have someone teach you. However, learning supernatural power isn't that easy — you should be prepared to endure hardship."

Hearing this, the women all nodded in turn, saying they were already prepared.

At this moment, Li Ying and Hotarugusa also walked out of the kitchen — they had already prepared the meal.

"Master, the food is ready. Everyone can eat now." Li Ying said.

"Mm, good. Everyone, let's eat." Xiang Lian nodded and said.

So everyone began to eat.

At the table, the women kept raising their cups to Xiang Lian, thanking him for giving them the chance to learn supernatural power.

Xiang Lian responded to each in turn, raising his cup to drink with the women.

Three rounds of wine, five courses of dishes.

Everyone had eaten their fill.

Xiang Lian looked at the women and said: "Alright, everyone's eaten about enough. Now, I'll have Iori Utahime and the others teach you Onmyodo."
