The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 702 Hope and Despair (5)

"Then let's start this meeting," said Ashiya Yoshisuke.

In Huangquan House, five "mentors" including Ashiya Yoshisuke gathered together and held a routine meeting.

It has been a while since the special training to strengthen the overall strength of the exorcists began. In addition, Qian Xiaoyi has also returned from Mount Osorezan, so it is a good time for the leaders of the Exorcist Alliance to report progress to each other and discuss the next steps of the alliance.

Ashiya Yoshisuke said, "I will be the first one to go. I am a little ashamed to say that although my students have worked very hard, the time is still too short. Learning Yin Yang Jue is not a goal that can be accomplished in a short period of time. They are still in the stage of rote memorization. Probably only one or two people can put what they have learned into practice."

"Yin Yang Magic is a very difficult subject. There is so much to learn." Xing Changrang said, "It usually takes several years or even decades to learn it. It's only been less than a month. It would be abnormal if you can learn it."

Everyone knows that the significance of Ashiya Yoshisuke's teaching of Onmyoji is not to quickly improve the overall strength of the alliance, but to increase the cohesion of the alliance. You know, that is the secret technique passed down by the great Onmyoji Ashiya Doman, and how many people are flocking to it.

Yoshisuke Ashiya's move was like sending a signal, allowing those undisciplined exorcists to see the benefits of joining an alliance to fight the enemy together. The symbolic significance was greater than the practical significance. From the beginning, no one expected Yoshisuke Ashiya to develop any superb combat power in a short period of time, so there was no question of disappointment.

"Then it's my turn next." Xingchang Rang took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, then said, "My side... the effect should be quite good. At least the people who join my side probably have never worked so hard to improve themselves in their lives."

He chuckled, clearly feeling a little proud.

In fact, he once told other exorcists that being his students would probably get nothing, but that was just an excuse to stimulate competition among the students. Because of this sentence, the students fought hard to grab the few powerful-looking spells he threw out.

Under such fierce competition, students in the Star Field are afraid of failing to gain anything, so everyone is constantly improving themselves and learning how to utilize the knowledge of spells.

"It's just a few spells. They don't play any crucial role at all." Hoshiba said, "To think that you can defeat the Hundred Demons with these spells is like giving a magic transformation device to a few high school students and asking them to beat the bad guys. This kind of scene only appears in comics. The Hoshiba family is not so poor that they can only give a few things to their companions."

His words exuded a strong sense of confidence. As a family with a rich heritage, he was confident that he could arm the entire alliance to the teeth, regardless of the cost, even if it was done on the spot. Not to mention that he now possessed a brand new power.

"Well done." Ashiya Kichisuke nodded: "In this way, the backbone of the alliance is guaranteed... Next, Liuliyuan, you speak."

Liuliyuan Hongming stopped moving his rosary beads and said concisely: "Now they can let Master Mingwang transform into a second magic weapon."

Just one sentence was enough to let everyone understand the progress of their training as exorcists from him. The phantom of the Acalanatha at the beginning had brought a great shock to everyone. Although it was quite troublesome to prepare, it was undoubtedly a powerful weapon that could intimidate the enemy.

"As expected of his son." Ashiya Yoshisuke praised Ruriin Hiroaki with great satisfaction. He and the other's father were good friends at first, but it was a pity that later...

He didn't say anything more and looked at the next person. "My students are all very hardworking." Wei Bo said.

Granny Tao couldn't come in person due to health problems, so naturally Wei Bo took over the task.

Speaking of which, originally Granny Tao was only responsible for helping to train students, but then something happened during the Oreyama Festival. If Qian Xiaoyi hadn't helped resolve it, the consequences would have been serious. So naturally, Naraku Dojo returned the favor and joined the alliance to fight against the Hundred Demons together with everyone else.

Wei Bo sorted out his words and said, "Although everyone's foundation is not very solid, they are making rapid progress and have great potential. I believe that you will be able to take charge of your own affairs in no time."

Everyone else understood what she meant. Rapid progress meant that these people were too weak before and could not form any fighting force at all. Because their starting point was too low, the upper limit was very high.

But there is no way around it. Exorcists with a complete system inheritance are basically from big families or ancient schools. The rest either have some incomplete inheritance from their ancestors, or have passed it down through some adventure, or they are newcomers who accidentally joined this line of work after awakening their spiritual powers. Of course, their foundation will be much weaker.

Ashiya Yoshisuke said: "This will greatly help increase the overall strength of the alliance. The higher the comprehensive strength of the Exorcists, the less likely the enemy will dare to act rashly. If they continue to maintain this, they will be the future of the Exorcist Alliance. Finally... Mr. Qian, how are you doing?"

Qian Xiaoyi had only a few students, so Ashiya Yoshisuke just asked casually.

"It's OK." Qian Xiaoyi curled his lips: "I don't have anything to teach them. I just gave them some random pointers and helped them accumulate a little practical experience."

Wei Bo thought to himself: "That's not a bit of practical experience..."

Thinking of the exaggerated strength of the zombie in Osorizan, Mibo still feels a little nervous. He was able to survive the hands of that monster and successfully defeated it. Mibo didn't believe Qian Xiaoyi's nonsense.

However, the matter of zombies involves Grandma Tao's reputation, and Wei Bo has a good relationship with Qian Xiaoyi, so he naturally would not tell the truth.

"Mr. Qian is too modest. From what I understand, you are not as frivolous as you say you are." Ashiya Yoshisuke said, "It seems that everyone is very concerned about their students. I hope you will keep up the good work. Only when the entire alliance becomes stronger can we have a chance to fight against the enemies lurking in the dark."

Everyone nodded. This was true. The enemy's sphere of influence was too large. If they could not mobilize the entire industry, then no matter how good they were in the exorcism business, they would be slowly devoured by the ghosts.

"That's the end of the first agenda item of the meeting. There's no rush to train students." Ashiya Yoshisuke started the next topic: "Next, let's talk about another important topic - how we should deal with the enemy and the enemy's current intelligence. While everyone was busy training students, I was not idle either, and I collected a lot of information~"
