'System, bring up my current personal status screen.'
With a "beep," a virtual screen, visible only to Tang Sui, appeared before her. It clearly listed Tang Sui's current status.
[Name: Tang Sui]
[Race: Mixed-blood (Legendary Golden Miracle)]
[Soul Power Level: 16 (A mere bag to be beaten if I go out)]
[Demonic Power Level: Unknown (Don't be scared, one mask is ten of you)]
[Health: 90/90 (Are you a brittle sweet cone? Shattered with one bite?)]
[Mental Strength: 186/500 (Not too high, not too low mental strength, but you're very weak now, sleeping is recommended)]
[1 Martial Soul: Spirit Mask
First Soul Ring: Thousand-Year Soul Ring (Purple)
Soul Skill: Spirit Infusion (Group buff of 35% speed, 10% defense, 35% mental strength)
(Restrictions: After use, effective until the third soul skill is released;
Each buff level difference within 10 levels consumes 20 mental strength, 20 levels consumes 30, n+1 increases accordingly)
2 Martial Soul: Haotian Hammer (No soul ring, but its sheer weight can also kill people~)]
[Demonic Power Exploration Degree: Fox Mask (It is said the Fox Mask symbolizes wisdom)]
[Equipment: None (Looks quite poor)]
[Soul Coins: 0 (Hello, pauper)]
Looking at the personal attribute introduction panel, which was full of taunts, Tang Sui felt for a moment that the system was so user-friendly it had become sentient.
Oh, the system was supposed to be an Artificial Intelligence with flaws anyway.
Indifferent jpg.
However...
'Before I fainted, I remember that soul beast called the Bloodthirsty Demonic Wolf wasn't a thousand-year beast, was it?'
Tang Sui stared at the purple image of the thousand-year soul ring, her eyes filled with doubt.
System: [Your body could not withstand this power. I used demonic power to strengthen your body, and then found that the soul ring was insufficient. So, I used demonic power to compensate for each other, and it became a thousand-year soul ring.]
'Strengthened my body?! Has my body become stronger now?!' Tang Sui's eyes lit up upon catching the keyword, only to have a bucket of cold water unceremoniously dumped on her by the system.
[Your health before strengthening was 20, now it's 90, dear.]
Tang Sui: "......"
She looked at the taunting remark behind the health bar and fell into silence.
'Are you a brittle sweet cone? Shattered with one bite?'
Brittle...
One bite... shattered...
If shattered, wouldn't that mean I'd met my end!
Tang Sui's entire being instantly darkened, and she no longer brought up the topic of strengthening. Her gaze shifted to the soul skills. Seeing the familiar soul skill, her Onmyoji DNA immediately kicked in.
'This Spirit Infusion, isn't that the shikigami skill of the original Masked Spirit?!'
As a fan of the Masked Spirit, Tang Sui was all too familiar with the name and effects of this soul skill.
[Yes. To align with the concepts of this world, the shikigami skill effects have been changed to soul skill usage effects.]
Having clarified her personal status, Tang Sui exhaled a breath, slowly got out of bed, and prepared to face the upcoming interrogation (not really).
After serving herself a bowl of soup and rice, the family of three sat at the table, the atmosphere unusually harmonious.
Tang Hao looked at the bowl of rice steeped with plenty of grains and then at the meals of the two children, which had little oil and fewer grains. A wave of discomfort washed over him.
When the bowl of soup and rice was finished, Tang Sui reluctantly put down her bowl. She looked at Tang San and Tang Hao, who were silent, cleared her throat with practiced ease, and said crisply, "Um, Dad, Brother, I have something to tell you."
Father and son exchanged a glance. One put down his chopsticks, the other held his bowl, and both looked intently at Tang Sui, waiting for her to speak.
Feeling the combined gaze, Tang Sui secretly took a deep breath and, following the words she had planned that morning, said, "When I woke up just now, I found that my Masked Spirit martial soul seemed to have gained a purple ring and some strange abilities."
As she spoke, Tang Sui's mind moved, and a deep purple thousand-year soul ring rose from her feet. A jade-white fox mask materialized from the void, hovering quietly beside Tang Sui, which she gently pushed forward.
"See, it's this. The Spirit Mask has gained a strange ability called Spirit Infusion."
"Its effect is a group buff of 35% speed, 10% defense, 35% mental strength..."
"Clatter—!"
The bowl in Tang Hao's hand fell from his trembling palm. The soup mixed with rice spilled all over the table, yet Tang Hao, with a blank and shocked expression, could not take his eyes away!
"What did you say?! That's your soul skill effect?!"
—Author's Notes—
Sui Sui: Great, I can finally shock my old man in a dignified way!
Note: Another alias for Onmyoji is "Yao Yao Shu" or "Baldy."
Soul Skill Effect = Shikigami Skill Effect, some parts are modified, others are the same. Masked Spirit's speed buff is the best!
Next update will be later, muah!
