Mo Shuying said that having lived in Huaxia for over twenty years, he truly hadn't expected there to be extraordinary individuals around!
If that were the case, perhaps all those rumors about tribulation transcendence were true.
Someone was here today, so he could ask.
"Mr. Mo, you don't know about Huaxia's Mystic Arts?" Hongyan asked, a bit surprised. From where she sat, she could tell Mo Shuying's strength was definitely immense.
Just by sitting there, he seemed to blend into his surroundings, with not a single trace of energy overflow. What kind of state was that? How could such a powerful person not know about Huaxia's Mages?
"Mystic Arts? Similar to Daoist Arts? I've read some Cultivation Novels, is it like that? Do you have techniques like the Sword Riding Technique?"
The Sword Riding Technique! Riding a sword on the wind, banishing evil from heaven and earth—that was the dream of countless boys.
"Well... Mr. Mo, most novels are fabrications." Ang Gong chimed in.
"But isn't there still a small portion that isn't? You mean some of them aren't fabricated?"
"..." Ang Gong was speechless, unsure how to respond at that moment.
"Mr. Mo, legends of Immortal Arts and Daoist Arts also exist in Huaxia. They likely did at one point, but most have been lost over these past thousands of years. The methods we use now are Mystic Arts, a system completely different from the Magecraft used internationally. Looking at this foreign lady beside you, she must be your Servant, right?" Hongyan looked at Tomoe Gozen, guessing her identity as a Servant.
"That's right, why?" Mo Shuying was puzzled, what did this have to do with Tomoe Gozen?
"It's like this, Mr. Mo. The Mystic Arts we currently use are actually related to Heroic Spirits. The Servant summoning mechanism created by the Mage's Association was actually borrowed from our Mystic Arts. With vast Huaxia and countless Heroic Spirits, our Mystic Arts leverage the power of Heroic Spirits. I can show you."
With that, Hongyan stood up, moved to an open space, and then formed a hand seal.
"*Spirit Summoning!*" Hongyan roared softly! Her entire body's Mana fluctuations instantly surged! Immediately after, a figure appeared behind her. It was a beautiful woman clad in luxurious Hanfu, with graceful movements and a stunning appearance, showcasing the elegance of Huaxia women in every gesture.
"This is! A Guardian Spirit?" Mo Shuying was dumbfounded! Had he walked into the wrong scene? Was she trying to trick him into thinking he hadn't seen Rakshasa Street?
"Precisely. This is a high-level Mystic Art within our system, Spirit Summoning—calling forth one's own Guardian Spirit. They are all Heroic Spirits, beings who have transcended the ages, and each one is incredibly powerful. Mages from the Mage's Association drew inspiration from this art to create the summoning arrays for Servants." Hongyan explained, nodding secretly to herself. Indeed, he's a big shot. He doesn't know Mystic Arts, but he knows about Guardian Spirits!
The palace-dressed beauty behind her looked around curiously, then actually spoke.
"Yan'er, where is this place?"
She could speak! How was this different from a Servant?
"This is Edo, and this is... Mr. Mo." Hongyan replied respectfully.
The Guardian Spirit heard this, turned to look at Mo Shuying, then with a single step, she was already beside him.
Tomoe Gozen, sitting next to Mo Shuying, frowned. This newly appeared Heroic Spirit was incredibly fast.
If they had such speed, how could these two have been captured?
Tomoe Gozen looked at Hongyan and Ang Gong, her vigilance heightened.
"Hmm~ Looks decent enough."
"..." Hearing the Guardian Spirit's evaluation, Mo Shuying's smile froze.
"Nothing else? If so, Yan'er, this empress is tired. I'll return first." With that, the Guardian Spirit turned into specks of light and vanished. She could leave on her own? This level of freedom was too high.
"Who was that just now?" Mo Shuying asked curiously.
At this point, Ang Gong spoke. "Mr. Mo, the identity of a Guardian Spirit is actually a secret to us Mages. This..."
Mo Shuying listened, and a look of understanding crossed his face. "Understood, then I won't ask. But I've certainly had my eyes opened today. Indeed, how could my Huaxia be an ordinary place! Hahahahaha!"
Mo Shuying was very happy. It was a cause for celebration that Huaxia possessed such power.
Afterward, Hongyan returned alone, while Ang Gong stayed behind, temporarily residing in Nihon.
Hongyan was gone for three days, with no news.
Mo Shuying wasn't worried, but Ang Gong was quite anxious.
He explained to Mo Shuying that Hongyan would definitely undergo a thorough screening upon her return, which was reasonable, so it would take some time.
Mo Shuying, for his part, wasn't bothered. He'd spent the last few days asking Ang Gong about Spirit Summoning Arts.
Ang Gong definitely couldn't teach him everything, especially since things weren't fully settled yet. If he were to reveal the core skills of the Mystic Arts without authorization, he'd certainly face consequences upon his return.
But he could teach the basic Spirit Nurturing Art!
This is a Mystic Art that uses one's own Mana to nurture a Guardian Spirit, and it's one of the foundational Mystic Arts for Mages. It has another function as well: to build a foundation. First, you nurture yourself, then your spirit. This Mystic Art can strengthen oneself and also allow for a clearer perception of the connection between oneself and one's Guardian Spirit.
Given Mo Shuying's current physique, the effect of strengthening himself was negligible, but after two days of trying the Spirit Nurturing Art, he truly felt a faint, flickering connection.
He actually had a Guardian Spirit too!
He learned from Ang Gong that not everyone possesses a Guardian Spirit. Many Mages are unable to acquire a Guardian Spirit simply through their own perception.
To say it's one in ten thousand would be an understatement.
However, Mages who have achieved success in their cultivation generally have their own Guardian Spirits. The reason is simple: within the Mystic Arts, there are other Mystic Arts that allow for summoning from other dimensions, transforming other spiritual beings into one's own Guardian Spirit. While the compatibility with naturally awakened Guardian Spirits might be slightly lower, this small difference is insignificant.
Mo Shuying was quite pleased that he could sense that connection.
He tried hard to explore it, but since he only had the most basic Spirit Nurturing Art, he made no further progress.
Mo Shuying wasn't in a hurry. Two more days passed, and then a letter from Hongyan arrived!
"Mr. Mo! We have confirmed your identity here, and your superiors are aware of your considerations. The big boss said that Huaxia is your strong backing, so go ahead and do what you need to! Furthermore, two acquaintances of yours have already set off for Nihon."
Mo Shuying frowned slightly. Acquaintances of his? Does he even have any acquaintances?
With a hint of confusion, a plane landed a day later.
The aircraft door opened, and a White-haired Man, wearing a casual shirt and trousers, a tall crown on his head, and glasses on his face, walked out with a smile.
He was followed by a slightly shorter White-Haired Girl, who strode out with a hint of anticipation on her face. Behind her was a fiery red centaur!
Mo Shuying was resting at that moment, when he suddenly felt a chill down his spine!
Tsk tsk tsk, these chapters have some sensitive content that I was informed I had to change. Ugh, this is annoying.
