【Good luck.】
……
There is so much information, it's very complicated.
But overall, there are only two points that really matter.
First, the 20 free attribute points obtained after upgrading were concentrated by Nanxing on the four attributes of [Strength], [Speed], [Physique], and [Energy].
This is due to considerations required for exorcising demons.
Facing those monsters with extraordinary power, Nanxing plans to specialize in physical skills first.
——After all, he doesn’t have the money to exchange for those high-level ninjutsu now.
As for illusions... Nanxing can only say, just go with the flow.
At the same time, it is particularly worth mentioning.
Due to the limitations of Genin, the maximum value of these basic attributes can only be 8 points.
That's why he added his extra attribute points to [Ninja] and [Seal], two somewhat useless attributes.
As for [Virtue]... this attribute is somewhat special.
It represents wisdom and knowledge, and therefore cannot be increased using attribute points.
This is also something that makes Nanxing proud.
Compared to a month ago, his [Xian] has indeed increased - from 4 to 5.
Although he himself didn't know exactly where this change occurred, there was no doubt that he had become smarter than before.
"As for the next thing that needs to be prepared, it is this trial mission."
As he was thinking, Nanxing suddenly thought of something very important.
"As I recall, the Genin's trial mission was called the Trial of Courage?"
At that time, facing nearly a hundred monsters, the inexperienced Nanxing rushed in.
He thought he could kill.
Thinking back on it now, Nanxing felt a wave of fear.
——Not to mention him at that time, even for him now, it would be difficult for him to defeat those nearly one hundred monsters head-on.
But the system still issued such a seemingly fatal task.
Then think of the title "Trial of Courage".
"So, it was just a test of my courage?"
"As long as I rush forward, Kikyo will definitely come to save me?"
"Like a story mission?"
Although it was just a guess, Nanxing believed that this should be the truth of the matter.
——The previous trial was just a test of his courage.
And if we continue to speculate based on this theory.
"It's troublesome."
Looking at the eye-catching [Trial of Strength] in the system interface.
Nanxing realized that this trial mission would not be as easy as the last time.
"It only takes courage to be cannon fodder, but to become an elite, you need real strength."
This may be the true meaning of [Trial Mission].
"It seems we need to prepare early."
"It's just that seven days later... I remember hearing the villagers say that it seemed to be a very special day?"
"What is it?"
Nanxing frowned and thought for a long time, but still couldn't come up with a conclusion.
"never mind."
"It's better to ask Kikyo."
Chapter 12: Tree of Ages, Bone-Eating Well
Nanxing, who was suspicious, returned to Kikyo's room again and found that the full basket of sour oranges had been eaten by her.
But her mouth was not idle.
The sunflower seeds just picked from the flower disk exude the unique fragrance of the countryside.
She half leaned on the bed and leisurely picked up a handful of melon seeds. Like a little hamster, she cracked the seeds in the blink of an eye.
"You eat too."
Perhaps because there were still a lot of melon seeds, this time, Platycodon was not as stingy as before.
Nanxing didn't bother to be polite with her.
——These sunflower seeds might be the ones he picked from the fields when he was on a mission before.
"Seven days later? Isn't that the Ghost Festival? What's wrong?"
Sitting on the bed, Kikyo was cracking melon seeds while answering Nanxing's questions.
Ghost Festival.
This is the name given by Shintoism, and it is also called Ullambana Festival in Buddhism.
It is commonly known as the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ghost Festival.
It is the day when the gate to the ghost world opens, and the souls in hell return to the human world to enjoy the blood and food of the human world.
"Don't go out and cause trouble that day."
When talking about the Ghost Festival, a rare seriousness appeared in Kikyo's eyes.
It was obvious that even a witch with extraordinary spiritual power like her was very wary of this festival for ghosts.
But if Nanxing could see the scene during the Ghost Festival with his own eyes, he would understand that Kikyo's fear is definitely not unreasonable.
"On the 15th day of the seventh month, the gates of hell open."
"The evil spirits from hell are allowed to roam the world without restraint."
"Those evil spirits are different from ordinary monsters. They are at least at the level of elite monsters."
——Japanese ghosts are different from ghosts in other places.
The ghosts here are not "ghosts" but a clan of ghosts, similar to the dragons in Western mythology.
It is a creature with extremely strong strength and cruel personality.
They usually have horns on their heads, are born with supernatural powers, love drinking and fighting. When they get drunk, they will destroy everything in front of them without thinking.
At the same time, the more terrifying thing is that:
"A ghost tribe with a little bit of strength can compete with ordinary big monsters."
"And the demon king among the demons... is the most powerful demon. He is a terrifying existence that even the gods of Takamagahara dare not provoke."
"The first Lord of Ghosts and Monsters was the Heavenly King of the Ghost Clan, the legendary Shuten-doji."
"It is said that she was not actually destroyed by Minamoto no Raikou. Instead, she returned to hell with her former subordinates."
Kikyo warned very patiently.
Her seriousness made Nan Xing realize that this trial was indeed not that easy.
"But, it doesn't matter."
Nanxing smiled and assured Kikyo:
"I won't let the fighting spread to the village."
He had made up his mind.
There is actually nothing we can do about it.
——Nanxing, who lives in this era, has already embarked on a path from which he is doomed to no return.
Therefore, even though he knew there was danger ahead, he had no choice but to charge forward.
This is not courage, but a choice made out of helplessness.
Kikyo also expressed understanding of this choice.
"Yeah."
She looked at Nanxing in silence.
In fact, it has already tacitly approved of his choice.
Kikyo knew that everyone had an innate mission.
Just like the fate between her and the [Four Souls Jade].
Since this is Nanxing's own choice, she will not interfere.
But then again.
She wouldn't interfere though.
But this does not mean that she cannot help Nanxing.
"In a blink of an eye, I have been lying there for so long."
Kikyo suddenly turned around and looked at the bright sun outside the window.
The sunlight shone on her fair face, making it look slightly rosy.
After a month of recuperation, most of her internal injuries have healed.
As for the damage to the remaining organs, it cannot be healed in a short period of time.
"Come out with me."
She suggested so.
……
Accompanied by Nanxing, Kikyo walked out of the house.
The sunlight outside the window was very dazzling, which made Kikyo somewhat uncomfortable.
At the same time, Feng, who seemed to have been paying attention to this place, ran over directly after seeing Kikyo's figure.
She didn't say anything, but her big eyes full of suspicion clearly conveyed the following message to Nanxing:
"Where are you going to take my sister to again?"
Nanxing felt wronged about this.
When they were eliminating demons, it was Kikyo who was leading the way, and he was the follower.
How come it's his fault now?
But Kikyo didn't explain.
