Chapter 564

Time rewound to the morning; Broly, who was being taught the Soul-Settling Art by Isayama Naraku, in order to avoid accidentally revealing learning talent exceeding the ordinary range, asked a question of this Isayama Family Head, Naraku: "Sister Huangquan, how long did it take you to learn this art?"

"Huangquan, huh, she is a rarely encountered genius; she only took one... hmm, only watched once, practiced once herself, and directly mastered the Soul-Settling Art!"

To prevent the boy from developing an arrogant heart, Isayama Naraku slightly praised his adopted daughter's former talent for learning arts.

And Broly thought, if a genius mastered this art after only watching once and practicing once, then, as a slightly more outstanding ordinary child, asking for guidance two or three times, and practicing four or five more times to master this art, should be about right.

Thinking so, he did just that.

"Huangquan, if you are a genius rarely seen in thirty years, then Broly is a super genius rarely seen in three hundred years.

Some words I cannot say too clearly, but I hope you will not harbor any grudges against that child in the future, do you understand my meaning?"

"I understand, Father; if Broly is truly more outstanding than me, then he will also be even more suitable to inherit the position of Isayama Family Head; at that time, I will hand over the family heirloom treasure blade, Lion King, to that child."

"Worthy of being my daughter, able to let go on matters of great principle."

"This is all due to Father's teaching by word and deed; I am not your biological daughter, yet you treat me as your own biological daughter, teaching me the Isayama Family arts without reservation, and entrusting the family heirloom treasure blade to me for use.

Therefore, I shall also treat Broly the same way you treated me, and that child even agreed to be my little brother!"

"Very good."

Isayama Naraku was very satisfied with his adopted daughter's stance.

"Tomorrow, I must go attend the Exorcist Alliance meeting; the matter of teaching Broly exorcism arts will be left to you."

"Yes, I will teach him properly."

Isayama Huangquan agreed; raising a little brother or something sounded quite interesting.

"Right, Broly is a child, his temperament may be unstable; before he develops a stable temperament, it is best not to let him know that he is actually a super genius.

Outstanding talent is a good thing, but overly outstanding talent can also make people arrogant and complacent, thereby wasting their talent, and even stepping onto the Heretic Path.

"Huh? Then what should I do?"

"Very simple, you just have to pretend to be an even more outstanding genius; wait until that child Broly's ability is tempered to the point of surpassing your level, by then he should also already possess a decent temperament."

The father-daughter conversation ended; after leaving the study, Broly was already sitting on the chair outside.

Of course, he had not gone to eavesdrop, merely sitting outside simply, watching the Group Chat Room chat.

"It really is wonderful, Broly; I heard Father say you also have pretty good exorcism talent."

Isayama Huangquan leaned over, and said to the boy with a smile.

"Mm."

Broly nodded, and once again pressed his aura even lower; he was worried about being detected as abnormal.

"However, compared to me, your talent is still lacking a bit."

Having received Father's instructions, Isayama Huangquan, acting out the persona of an even more genius older sister, spoke to the boy just like that.

"Eh?!"

Broly looked at Isayama Huangquan with some surprise; today, through observing Isayama Naraku's surprised expression appear multiple times, he had thought he had overexerted himself, already displaying talent exceeding the ordinary child category, but now hearing the girl say this, it seemed not yet.

At least, compared to the other party's talent, his own performance today counted as ordinary.

And this point made Broly relax all at once.

Watching the expression changes on the boy's face, Isayama Huangquan's heart stirred; thinking the boy had been struck by her lie, she hurriedly comforted him: "Don't worry, in the future Sister will teach you many things; believe that as long as you work a little harder, you should also be able to keep up with Sister's pace!"

Speaking to here, Isayama Huangquan seemed to think of something, and asked: "Mm, right, Sister still hasn't asked if you are willing to become an Exorcist?"

"Uh, then Sister Huangquan, do you think I should become an Exorcist?"

Broly was not too sure whether this world's definition of an ordinary child included Exorcists or not, so he kicked the question ball back to Isayama Huangquan.

"Mm, exorcism work is comparatively dangerous; if standing from a safety angle, I think not becoming an Exorcist would be better.

However, this world is constantly giving birth to various evil spirits; capable people should step forward more to protect others, so, if standing from an Exorcist's angle, I hope you will not let your exorcism talent go to waste.

Of course, ultimately how to choose your own life, I feel should still be decided by yourself."

Speaking to here, Isayama Huangquan paused, looked at the adoptive father beside her, and asked: "Father, do you think what I said is right?"

"Huangquan, you are very right; whether a person has the subjective consciousness to become an Exorcist is a more important matter than possessing Exorcist talent.

A person without this awareness, no matter how good their Exorcist talent, will very easily die on the road of exorcism and demon-slaying."

Isayama Naraku nodded; the boy's talent was too good, making him overlook this point; now, reminded by his daughter, he realized it.

If the boy did not have the will to become an Exorcist, he would not force a child either, rigidly demanding the other party become an Exorcist.

"However, people with high spiritual sense are more easily attacked by spirit bodies; even if you don't want to become an Exorcist, learning one or two exorcism methods to protect yourself is also fine."

Isayama Naraku did not lie; a child possessing such powerful spiritual talent, in this world where evil spirits frequently appear, actually has not many life paths to choose from.

Even if not wanting to get close to this aspect of matters, one would still be entangled by various evil spirits, vengeful spirits, and other dangerous spirit bodies due to one's own constitution.

A moment of inattention, and being killed by an evil spirit, is an extremely normal thing.

If you don't want to die, you must give yourself the means to deal with spirit bodies, and become strong in power.

"Broly, how to choose is for you to decide yourself; and no matter what choice you make, the matter of the Isayama Family taking you in will not change.

Of course, if you choose to become an Exorcist, then Sister will do her best to help you, and look forward to being able to fight shoulder-to-shoulder with you and exorcise spirits together!"

Although saying to let the boy choose autonomously, Isayama Huangquan still had a tendency towards these two choices, because she knew Broly's talent should be better than her own, yet she hoped even more that the boy would cherish his own spiritual talent.

"Then I choose to become an Exorcist, and fight shoulder-to-shoulder with you, Sister Huangquan."

Broly obediently nodded, quickly giving the answer the girl wanted.

"Then from now on, we will have to rely on each other's guidance even more!"

Isayama Huangquan was very happy, put her arm around the boy's neck, and affectionately rubbed against his side face.

Brothers fight wars together; fathers and sons go into battle together.

This one of hers should count as exorcism sworn siblings!

Thinking of facing a group of spirit enemies, and fighting spirit enemies back-to-back with her little brother, after obtaining victory through arduous battle.

At dusk, the boy said to himself: "Sister, I did it."

He replied to himself: "Broly, you did it."

In a scene like this of sisterly affection and brotherly humility, Isayama Huangquan inexplicably had her expectation point poked.

"Then, to celebrate Broly officially joining the Isayama Family and becoming my little brother, I'll go to the supermarket right now to buy ingredients; our family will have a big meal tonight!"

After speaking, Isayama Huangquan, who had brought a cart and was preparing to go to the supermarket for a big purchase, was stopped by Isayama Naraku: "I've already bought the ingredients for the big meal; Huangquan, you just need to be responsible for the cooking."

"This is, top-grade Kobe Beef, super luxurious seafood sushi platter, a whole Hokkaido Tanosuke Watermelon?!"

Isayama Huangquan looked through the various ingredients her adoptive father had bought in the kitchen, exclaiming from time to time; obviously, many of these foods, even with the Isayama Family's wealthy background, couldn't be eaten every day, especially that Hokkaido watermelon worth 30,000 yen.

At night, the girl's cooking skills combined with high-quality ingredients allowed Broly to eat a not bad big meal.

"Broly, there are generally three ways to cultivate Spiritual Power.

The first is sitting meditation, using meditation to increase mental power and thus increase Spiritual Power; this kind of cultivation requires accumulation over time to bear fruit, winning in safety, and as long as you persist, you can grow;

the second is battle cultivation, experiencing the dangerous baptism in battle with spiritual bodies; there is great terror between life and death, and those who can withstand this great terror usually see a huge increase in mental power; the disadvantage is danger, the advantage is that growth is fast enough;

the third is to use a contracted spirit beast to cultivate; as for what a spirit beast is, spirit beasts themselves are actually spiritual bodies or yokai.

It's just that after signing a contract with a human, they will no longer randomly hurt people, but the contractor must provide what the contracted spirit beast needs, which is the so-called price.

And the Isayama Family's spirit beast is Luan Honglian (Nue) residing in the Lion King, which is that big red lion with many pairs of eyes you saw yesterday.

I usually use Spiritual Power to support it, and it helps me slay demons and eliminate evil; after slaying demons and evil spirits, it will feed back some pure Spiritual Power to me. It's a famous spirit beast that can help the holder grow and increase mental power..."

While bathing, Isayama Huangquan introduced the cultivation of this world to Broly, and although he should have gone to the single room Isayama Naraku prepared for him to sleep in, he came to the girl's room again on the pretext of teaching Spiritual Power cultivation.

"The latter two both require fighting evil spirits and yokai, which is still too early for you, so Sister will teach you meditation first."

Isayama Huangquan called the boy to sit on the bed and then began to explain the points of sitting meditation to him.

"Broly, you need to first empty your mind, then try your best to visualize things that exist in reality, depicting various details of the thing you visualize in your heart without distraction, the finer the better.

Throughout the process, you need to keep your mind calm, just like a carving master performing fine carving on stone or wood...

Repeating this process over and over is the most standard meditation, and the more focused you are, the better the effect of meditation will be."

"Sister Huangquan, when you first learned this, what degree did you visualize to?"

"That would naturally be..."

Isayama Huangquan originally wanted to tell the truth, which was the level of a few simple spells, but thinking about having to play the role of a more talented girl, she changed her words.

"When I first started, I visualized the scenery of an entire street block."

"Of course, you definitely can't do this kind of degree, so just visualize simple things."

Hearing this, Broly had a standard and quickly entered a state of meditation.

Isayama Huangquan glanced at him and immediately discovered his situation.

And in cultivation, there is the saying of a restless mind.

The more childish the mindset, the more one cannot achieve a state of calm.

Broly being able to discard distracting thoughts and enter meditation so quickly, Isayama Huangquan could only secretly praise in her heart: truly worthy of being a super genius rarely seen in three hundred years!

The girl could obviously feel the gap between herself and the boy in terms of cultivation; at least she herself couldn't enter meditation that quickly.

"Broly, can you tell Sister what you were visualizing just now?"

About an hour later, Broly withdrew from the state of meditation; Isayama Huangquan watched him from the side, and seeing Broly open his eyes, she couldn't help but curiously ask.

Ordinary people trying meditation for the first time, even if successful, easily fall asleep while meditating, but Broly was different; Isayama Huangquan watched him from start to finish, and the boy's breathing rhythm never changed, maintaining the rhythm of the meditation breathing method she told him.

And being able to meditate for an hour on the first try, Isayama Huangquan was curious about what the boy visualized in his mind.

"I was visualizing Sister Huangquan."

Broly told the truth about this.

"Eh, visualizing me, why?"

Hearing this answer, Isayama Huangquan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously retorted.

"Didn't you say that things in reality can all be used for visualization?"

"I did say that, but the first thing you visualized was a person, and me at that; that's a bit strange."

"Is that not allowed?"

"It's not that it's not allowed, but getting back to the point, to what degree did you visualize?"

"I listened to your words, visualized your appearance in my mind, and then began to depict various details."

"Ah, details, how detailed?"

"Details almost exactly like you."

"The whole body?"

"The whole body."

Especially the hair, which he depicted in his mind one-to-one according to imagination, causing Broly to spend a lot of time, taking an hour to finish.

"Broly..."

"Hmm?"

"You really are a little pervert!"

Isayama Huangquan hadn't blushed when bathing with the boy, but now she blushed; she reached out and pinched Broly's cheek, saying somewhat shyly and angrily.

Broly, having his cheek pinched, looked at Isayama Huangquan somewhat blankly; according to his cognition, a pervert was someone who wanted to grope the opposite sex and finally wanted to have deep interaction with the opposite sex, someone with such urgent thoughts.

But he hadn't wanted to grope the girl, nor was he impatient to have deep interaction with her; how did he become a little pervert in Isayama Huangquan's mouth?

Isayama Huangquan looked at the innocent and blank expression on the boy's face, and the shame and indignation in her heart quickly decreased: "You child, you can visualize me in the future, but don't visualize my whole body; even if you want to visualize my whole body, please visualize the clothes on Sister's body as well."

"Uh, Sister Huangquan, is it possible that I visualized your clothes along with you?"

Although he had to act like an ordinary child, he couldn't act too poorly.

And a clothed girl is much harder to visualize than a naked girl.

Jianshan Huangquan: "..."

The already relaxed hand suddenly increased its force.

"Is that so? Then Big Sister wrongly blamed you!"

A girl's thoughts are extremely wondrous; upon learning she was being visualized in full by the boy, Jianshan Huangquan felt somewhat ashamed and resentful.

And now, upon learning Broly was visualizing her with clothes on, Jianshan Huangquan felt somewhat hurt in her pride as a woman.

【My body, could it be less attractive than clothes?】
