American Exorcism Male God

The glow of the setting sun silently burned at the horizon, and Lisa lay on the grass, listless.

Ever since awakening her Entries, she had this quirk—every day when the sun set, she'd become incredibly lazy.

Ailan was still training, kicking fiercely and with precision. After enduring hundreds of kicks, the wooden post's head finally couldn't take any more, breaking off and flying away like a cannonball.

Xu Yi stood by, secretly amazed.

Ailan's speed in learning Combat techniques was astoundingly fast. In just an afternoon, she had nearly mastered all of his skills.

"Let's have another match!" Ailan said intently, challenging Xu Yi once again.

"It's getting late, let's call it a day. We'll talk about it next time," Xu Yi gave a slight cough, decisively refusing.

If they fought again, he was very likely to lose to Ailan.

With nearly equal Combat technique skills, Ailan's ghost-like speed and cat-like agility would be advantages that would only become greatly magnified.

He had no masochistic tendencies.

Ailan rushed toward Xu Yi without saying a word, her speed increasing. Xu Yi stood still as if he hadn't seen Ailan's approach.

Ailan clenched her fists, but before she could throw a punch, her expression softened again, Maria took control of the body.

"Well done!" Xu Yi said with a smile, looking at Maria approvingly.

The Mercedes sedan came from afar, with Alante arriving on time to pick everyone up.

The Funeral Parlor was closest to Chinatown, so that was where they headed first.

Right after Lisa got out of the car, her sister Lorna came bouncing over.

Upon seeing Xu Yi in the back seat, Lorna's eyes lit up, wanting to follow him for fun, but was suppressed by Lisa's "sisterly bond" and could only watch forlornly as Xu Yi left.

Maria's home was the farthest, so Alante dropped Xu Yi off at his rented apartment first, parking in the passageway near the flowerbeds.

"Would you like to come up for a bit?" Xu Yi invited.

Upon hearing this invitation, Maria's heart started pounding fiercely, and her cheeks reddened slightly.

Xu Yi was inviting her into his house. Could it be that he wanted to... She had heard about that sort of thing from her classmates, but she had never experienced it herself.

At the thought, her face turned even redder.

"Allen, why don't you go and buy some food to bring back!" Xu Yi, realizing it was getting late and time for dinner, suggested.

Alante nodded and left.

Maria had not clearly heard what Xu Yi said after, her body was burning up, and she followed him to the room in a daze.

"Take a look at this, and if you don't see any problems, you can sign your name," Xu Yi said as he took a Parchment Scroll out of the cabinet and handed it to Maria.

Maria slightly came to her senses and looked at the Parchment Scroll with curiosity.

It was a very sophisticated-looking Parchment Scroll, inscribed with black and purple ink—a contract agreement with Xu Yi.

"Is this one of those legendary devil's contracts?" joked Maria, then without any hesitation, she took the pen and signed her name on the Parchment Scroll.

[Maria's current Favorability: 94.]

With the interactions over the past few days, Maria's Favorability had risen once again. She didn't hesitate to sign her name on the thoroughly suspicious Parchment Scroll.

Xu Yi didn't know whether to be touched or to think that Maria was just too naive... or maybe too deeply "smitten"?

[The Bond Contract Entry has been created.]

Indeed, the so-called Parchment Scroll was a Bond Contract. The Bond Contract Entry required one to ask the other party if they were willing.

It would be fine if it was a woman, but if it had been a man, it would feel strange to ask, as if they had entered the channel of some urban magic boy.

To avoid embarrassment, Xu Yi had thought of this method, writing the words on the Parchment Scroll.

The system did not require the question to be asked out loud; writing it down was also acceptable.

"Maria, concentrate!" Xu Yi suddenly called out.

Maria instinctively stood up straight, and Xu Yi extended a finger to touch the center of her forehead.

[Entry Awakening in progress, estimated time required: 3 minutes.]

Maria's pupils became blank in an instant, as she entered the phase of Entry Awakening.

Xu Yi patiently waited, and as the quiet three minutes elapsed, Maria, who had been looking down, suddenly raised her head. The light flickering in her pupils was not of the same color; the left emitted a holy white light, while the right shone like ink-black light.

At the same time, the system's voice sounded next to Xu Yi's ear.

[Entry Awakening successful.]

[Maria currently possesses the "Blank Entry: Soul Transmigration," current progress: 52/100.]

[Soul Transmigration (White Epic): Possesses a mighty force of the soul, can exorcise Ferocious Spirits and Evil Creatures through devout prayer.]

The progress bar had actually surpassed halfway! Xu Yi was a bit surprised.

This indicated Maria had an exceptional talent and could possibly max out the entry on her own without undergoing Entry Awakening.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Talent regarding the soul really is quite unreasonable," Xu Yi silently reflected.

If the church knew about Maria's talent, they would definitely come to invite her; having this Talent within the church, becoming a Saintess or something similar, would be a breeze.

Xu Yi thought that the Entry Awakening was over, but unexpectedly, the system popped up another message.

[Ailan currently possesses the "Blank Entry: Valkyrie," current progress: 30/100.]

[Valkyrie (Green Epic):

Ability 1 - Spirit of Martial Combat: (Unlocked)

Any combat-related skills are easily mastered by the Valkyrie.

Ability 2 - Power of the Black Soul: (Partially Unlocked)

Upon invoking the Power of the Black Soul, a series of combat-related attributes are enhanced. (Including: agility, speed, strength, etc.)

Ability 3 - Descent of the Valkyrie: (This ability is unavailable)

Description: When the Power of the Black soul is unleashed, the Valkyrie descends!]

Unexpectedly, Ailan's Talent had also awakened, though Ailan's Favorability was clearly not yet 90.

Could it be due to sharing the same body?

That was the only explanation Xu Yi could come up with.

After seeing the description of Ailan's entry, he had an epiphany.

No wonder she learned Combat Techniques at such an astonishing speed; it turned out to be the effect of the "Spirit of Martial Combat."

"Combat-related knowledge is not limited to Combat Techniques; it also includes swordsmanship, Marksmanship, Ancient Martial Arts... even tank operation and fighter jet piloting count as combat skills."

At this thought, Xu Yi looked at Ailan and secretly swallowed.

If he trained Ailan well and had her learn a multitude of combat skills, by the time of mastery, every urban soldier king and mountain-descended successor would pale in comparison.

The reason why Ailan, who possessed a "Green Epic" entry, was suppressed by Maria with a "White Epic" entry, was simple.

Specialization matters, and Maria's talent was the "soul," thus, control over the body was determined by the strength of the soul.

If Ailan had taken control over the body for the first time and firmly suppressed Maria, not allowing her to emerge, perhaps she might have gained the dominant position.

But the moment Maria was let out once, given Maria's soul Talent, she could grasp the crux of it and easily suppress Ailan.

"How do you feel?" Xu Yi asked Maria with a smile.

"It's a strange feeling, like suddenly understanding something," Maria felt the change in her body.

"It's too late today; I'll arrange your training plan tomorrow," Xu Yi said as he prepared to leave the room.

"Is this the only reason you called me here?" Maria asked, biting her lower lip lightly.
