American Exorcism Male God

Xu Yi gazed at Lisa as the system once again popped up a reminder.

[Target "Lisa"'s current Favorability: 92. A Bond Contract can be formed with the target's consent.]

To think that the other party's consent was necessary, Xu Yi's plan to secretly sign a Bond Contract fell through.

On the system panel, only "Bond Contract" was illuminated, while "Word Awakening" and "Word Gifting" were grayed out and unusable.

Clearly the latter two functions required a contract partner to be usable.

After some contemplation, Xu Yi turned his head to face Cassie and her husband, "I have thought of a method that might work, but it requires your approval."

"What method?" Cassie asked eagerly.

"Make Lisa an exorcist," Xu Yi said slowly.

The reason Lisa couldn't move was because her body was too weak to bear the energy residue within her.

A weak body is like a tricycle, which cannot bear the load, but what if it were replaced with a big truck?

To enhance Lisa's physical condition in a short time, the only method Xu Yi could think of was using the Entries.

Although he did not know the exact functions of "Word Awakening" and "Word Gifting," judging from their names, he could guess they were related to Entries.

Xu Yi was somewhat itching to know more about the new functions.

"Of course..." Cassie began to speak but suddenly stopped.

At first glance, becoming an exorcist sure seemed great, honorable, and easy to earn money, but after a series of events, they were well aware that exorcism was a very dangerous job.

It seemed like Xu Yi easily dealt with the Evil Spirit, but if one were to think about it, if they hadn't hidden in the warehouse in advance, could they have handled those fierce Bulldogs?

Lisa's grades weren't bad, and she could get into a relatively good university, where, whether as a doctor or lawyer, it would be more stable and safer than being an exorcist.

Thinking about this, they started to hesitate.

"I... I am willing to become an exorcist."

While Cassie and her husband were still hesitating, Lisa suddenly struggled to speak.

"You child..." Cassie wanted to say something, but stopped when she saw Lisa's resolute eyes.

Lisa hadn't made her decision on a whim; she had actually been longing for such an opportunity.

Ever since Xu Yi was discharged from the hospital with serious injuries, the change in him was too great, handsome and talented, with an added sense of mystery that attracted people.

As Xu Yi became more and more outstanding, she was naturally happy for him, but deep inside she also began to worry.

If things went on like this, their difference would only grow. Would she eventually be left behind?

She spent many nights tossing and turning in bed, kept awake by these thoughts.

Moreover, for some reason, the idea of becoming an exorcist excited her inexplicably; it was as if she was born for this path.

After whispering to each other for a long time, Cassie and her husband finally agreed.

"Xu Yi, we entrust Lisa to you!" Cassie looked at Xu Yi, her eyes brimming with tears.

Xu Yi's mouth twitched slightly, as he always felt that this line came out a bit off context—Lisa wasn't even in a wedding dress, not wearing a boutonniere!

But he still nodded firmly to show the gravity he attached to the matter.

"Could it be the legendary Spiritual Awakening?"

The reporters had been ready to pack up and leave, but upon hearing Xu Yi and the others' conversation, they immediately stopped and looked at Xu Yi with surprise, even using an honorific.

They worked for the Spiritual Exploration Daily and had seen numerous exorcists. Although Xu Yi's performance had many highlights, it wasn't enough to astonish them.

But if he possessed the technique of "Spiritual Awakening," that would be a different story!

Apart from the Holy Court, only a few Great Exorcists could master the technique of "Spiritual Awakening."

"Mr. Reporter, please save your questions until after we're finished!" Ailent quickly stepped forward to address the two reporters.

The reporters quickly regained their composure, realizing this was not the right moment to ask questions. They sat back down, turned on their cameras, and looked ready to stick it out to the end.

"Do you wish to enter into a contract with me?" Xu Yi had no time to pay attention to the reporter as he gazed into Lisa's eyes, seriously posing the question.

"I... I do!" Lisa's cheeks were faintly red; she always felt like these words were like an oath taken in a church.

Xu Yi wasn't just playing with Lisa; it was a requirement of the system that he needed her verbal acknowledgement.

[Target "Lisa" has agreed to enter into a contract. Word Gifting Contract generated!]

[Detected Talent of Word Gifting in contract subject "Lisa". Proceed with Word Gifting Awakening?]

Information about Word Gifting Awakening flooded into Xu Yi's mind, stirring his thoughts.

But he didn't immediately confirm. Instead, he bit his finger and pressed it against Lisa's forehead. The moment his blood touched her skin, it turned into a transparent gel-like substance.

Lisa felt a coolness on her forehead, and her senses became sharply heightened. Somewhere in the haze, she seemed to see a faint glow enveloping Xu Yi.

"I grant thee spirit, what is unreachable shall forever remain so, but where thou goest, there shall be a blaze of glory!" Xu Yi intoned.

There was only Xu Yi reciting, but everyone present felt an overwhelming significance, as if a whole choir were singing in their ears.

In the midst of the grand chanting, Lisa's pupils gradually turned dull, as she underwent a baptism.

"It's Spiritual Awakening! It's Spiritual Awakening!" the reporter from Spiritual Exploration Daily couldn't help but exclaim excitedly.

He was eager to share his excitement and noticed that Ailent next to him was calm, thinking to himself that it's no wonder the exorcist's agent seemed to be in the know.

In fact, as a rookie agent, Ailent had no clue what Spiritual Awakening was.

[Talent conversion for "Lisa" has begun, Word Gifting Awakening in progress, estimated time three minutes...]

Xu Yi withdrew his hand, overwhelmed with fatigue like a tide, and if he hadn't grabbed the hospital bed in time, he would have likely collapsed to the floor.

"What's wrong with you?" Cassie's parents exclaimed in alarm.

Xu Yi waved his hand, lacking even the strength to respond; Andrew hurriedly fetched him a chair to sit down.

"A move like Spiritual Awakening can't possibly come without a price. Every use must require a tremendous sacrifice!" the reporter mumbled to himself.

Hearing the reporter's words, Xu Yi finally let out a sigh of relief; his performance had not been in vain.

Although he had no idea what the Holy Court's Spiritual Awakening entailed, he figured it was something similar to Word Gifting Awakening.

In fact, the system's Word Gifting Awakening required no sacrifices at all; it only needed a Loyalty Value or Favorability of 90 or above from the subject.

Sufficient loyalty, Word Gifting Awakening, ability given... doesn't that sound familiar?

It's not just similar to the Holy Court's method of development; it's exactly the same.

A mere mortal possessing abilities akin to a god, what would the Holy Court think?

If the abilities were exposed, there would undoubtedly be only two outcomes.

One would be being controlled by the Holy Court, whereas the other would be to disappear quietly. With the strength of the Holy Court, achieving this would not be difficult.

Xu Yi realized this after learning about the "Word Gifting Awakening" and "Word Gifting" features of the system.

But this was dangerous as well as an opportunity.

The danger came from the Holy Court, while the opportunity was from the elites of all circles.

Who wouldn't want to possess extraordinary powers?

If word got out that he could initiate Spiritual Awakening, those at the top of the pyramid couldn't possibly ignore it; they would naturally come to him.

Wouldn't resources come this way?

Xu Yi was always clear that growth through one's own systematic efforts alone would achieve only so much.

Only by consolidating a wealth of resources could one develop rapidly and rise to a higher position.

The world below was turbulent, like an iceberg floating on the sea, where only the very top could be seen.

But once the water level drops and the iceberg emerges, danger would suddenly descend. If one did not possess great strength when that happened, there might be nothing to do but succumb to others' control, which he was unwilling to see.

Therefore, he directed and performed this act, a play for the Holy Court, to allay their suspicions.
