Simultaneous Travel: Becoming a Legend in the Heavens.

Chapter 96-Awakening
A layer of black silk-like curtain appeared at the edge of the bathroom. This was a barrier called "Tent". Its strength was determined by the codification of entry and exit conditions. The smaller the restrictions, the higher the strength.

Lu Ke placed his hand on it and passed through the tent effortlessly. It was obvious that he was not within the tent's confines.

The lights in the subway station returned to normal, and there were a few sparse figures around, and the sound of conversations and footsteps could be heard again.

Lu Ke breathed a sigh of relief. It was a normal world. After escaping safely, he looked inside. From a perspective that ordinary people could not see, the dark cursed power began to boil, and two figures were fighting fiercely.

With the blessing of cursed power, Nanami Kento's body is not inferior to the cursed spirit at all. He turned and moved nimbly in the narrow bathroom, waving the machete in his hand, leaving several scars on the cursed spirit.

The curse spirit roared and sprayed out a large number of beams of light, but he dodged them one by one. Instead, his body had a few more cuts on it. However, the body of the curse spirit seemed to be exceptionally strong, and the physical injuries healed quickly.

Often when the second blow comes, the wound left by the first blow has healed, and the blood that has been shed will return to the body.

"My technique is called the Ten Strokes Incantation."

Nanami, who was tired of stalling for time, reported the information about her technique to the enemy. This was a "binding" technique that strengthened the effect of the technique by informing the enemy of the information.

"No matter who the opponent is, this technique can forcibly create a weak point in the enemy. Specifically, it divides the length of the target into equal parts and forcibly creates a weak point at the 7:3 point. As long as the "point" is hit, it can trigger a "critical hit."

"Even against enemies stronger than me, I can still cause a certain amount of damage. I can designate any part as the target of attack, and it is also effective against objects other than living things."

At this moment, in Kento Nanami's eyes, everything became divided into sections, and the cursed spirits were no exception.

With a breath, the cursed power began to circulate rapidly, and Nanami Kento rushed to the front of the cursed spirit. The machete in his hand hit the cursed spirit's body at seven-tenths.

The sound was like breaking glass, and the cursed spirit let out an ear-piercing scream. Its hands and feet flapped twice like a frog being dissected, and finally it fell powerlessly into a pool of blood. The abnormality in the bathroom then returned to normal.

"The cursed spirit that has the ability to control blood... is just right for use."

Kento Nanami took out a small brown bottle from his pocket, then put two fingers in front of his chest. The blood of the cursed spirit slowly flowed into the small bottle as if being pulled by an invisible force, without any expansion at all.

After a moment, the cursed spirit's blood was drained, and its body quickly dissipated like ice and snow encountering strong sunlight.

At this time, the "tent" was lifted, and the dark curtain-like barrier disappeared.

Nanami Kento put the small bottle back into his pocket and walked out in an orderly manner. His steps were steady and his expression was calm, behaving like an ordinary office worker.

"Sorry for the wait, Senior Fujiwara Riku."

Lu Ke shook his head. "No need to use honorifics or full names. Just call me Lu Ke."

"Long time no see, Nanami. You saved my life the first time we met."

Nanami Kento took off his glasses with green lenses and straightened his shirt. "I just happened to be nearby and someone notified me that you were in danger, so I rushed over."

"Who?" Luke asked curiously.

"Miss Mingming, did you get a crow-shaped tattoo on your lower abdomen?"

Luke's face cracked for a moment as his private matter was suddenly made public.

If he had to say it, he now felt like he was being raped and the other party had recorded the video and shared it with his colleagues.

Nanami Kento continued to speak to himself: "That is a self-sensing engraving technique. When there is a strong reaction of magical power around you, she will sense it."

Hearing his ex-girlfriend's name from someone else's mouth again, Lu Ke felt as if time and space were being confused, especially when he heard that Nanami Kento came because she notified him.

"She won't forget me now, will she?"

"No, I think it's because the reward for exorcising a first-level cursed spirit is very high, so she informed me that I need to give her 30% of the reward this time."

Nanami Kento gave the answer quite calmly.

Luke: (_)
This is understandable, after all, Mingming is the kind of person who only considers money when doing anything.

There were more and more people around, and another rush hour had arrived. A few minutes later, the subway arrived at the station. Lu Ke took the initiative to invite Nanami Kento to his home for a while, and the other party did not refuse.

The two got along very well when they worked together in the bond company. They were like dining partners, complaining about their dissatisfaction with their jobs and their disgust for their stupid bosses, and declaring their rejection of their jobs together.

But one day, Kento Nanami suddenly resigned.

"Everywhere is a cesspool anyway, so why not stay somewhere that makes you feel more comfortable?"

Having said this, Nanami Kento disappeared from the company.

Later, Lu Ke began to dislike this kind of job where large amounts of money flowed through his hands but did not belong to him. After offending his boss, he decisively resigned.

After leaving the station, it took about twenty minutes to walk home. Lu Ke welcomed the guests in, cleared a path through the garbage on the floor, quickly tidied up the living room, and then took out two cans of cold beer.

"Sorry, the house is a bit messy. I don't have time to clean it up. I'm sorry to embarrass you."

Nanami looked at the messy room and fell silent for a moment.

He felt that it was no longer considered a bit messy, but he was still polite and didn't say anything. After all, someone who got home at 11 o'clock at night obviously didn't have the energy to keep the house tidy.

"Can I ask about your schedule?"

"Six in the morning, ten in the evening, two-hour commute, occasional overtime."

Nanami Kento was silent again, "Have you ever considered changing jobs?"

"My current job pays well and the commission is high." Lu Ke answered affirmatively, "Once I make enough money, I will stop working." "...What a simple and honest idea, but you may not live to old age given the current situation." Nanami Kento breathed a sigh of relief.

"The boundary between you and the other side has become increasingly blurred, especially after what happened today. If you continue like this, it won't be long before you die in the attack of the cursed spirit."

“Is there any way to deal with it?”

Lu Ke asked, since Nanami Kento had said it, there must be a way to solve it, and that was probably why he didn't refuse to come to his house late at night.

Nanami Kento took out a small brown bottle filled with cursed spirit blood from his pocket.

"This is the blood of the previous curse spirit. Because it has the ability to control blood, the quality of this curse spirit's blood is quite good, even comparable to the blood of ordinary special-grade curse spirits."

Luke was confused, "What does this have to do with me?"

Nanami Kento thought for a moment and explained, "The technique is passed down through blood. Theoretically, unless one's talent is extremely poor or one has awakened the 'Heaven and Curse Binding' and converted all of one's own cursed energy into physical fitness, normally a sorcerer will awaken the technique."

"It may be something you are born with, or it may awaken automatically when you reach a certain age, or it may require certain conditions to be met before it can awaken."

"I learned from Miss Mingming that your talent as a sorcerer is not particularly bad. When you were alone with her in bed, you did not show the inhuman physique of Tian Yu Zhu Fu..."

"Wait, wait, stop for a moment."

Lu Ke took a deep breath, and waited until he calmed down before making a gesture of invitation, "Okay, go on."

"So, your technique must need to meet certain conditions before it can be awakened."

Nanami Kento shook the bottle in his hand. "According to someone's investigation, your bloodline can be traced back to the Genji clan. Some sorcerers of that clan need to kill evil spirits and bathe their bodies in the blood of 'evil spirits' in order to awaken their own techniques."

"Genji? But my last name is Fujiwara." Lu Ke took the bottle, a little surprised.

"Hundreds of years have passed, and I don't know how many generations of blood have passed. It is common for surnames to change. Although your warlock talent is not too bad, according to someone, it is not that strong. Don't worry about these issues."

Nanami Kento stood up and said, "Pour the blood in the bottle into the bathtub. After soaking your whole body, your technique will awaken. After that, come to our place for some training, and you will have the power to protect yourself."

"So, what's the price?" Lu Ke asked in a deep voice.

"Depending on someone's needs, it will cost about 10 million yen."

Luke: "..."

"Could this someone you are talking about be Mingming?"

"I can see that after hearing her comments about your performance in bed, you don't really want to hear her name, so I called her by a code name." Nanami Kento answered considerately.

Bad woman, she tried every means to get back the money she left for him!

"Among ordinary people, I think I am pretty good."

Since it was a matter of male dignity, Lu Ke still explained.

"Senior Lu Ke, the more you explain some things, the more it shows that you are guilty."

Nanami smiled, "Let's start the ceremony quickly."

Luke: "..."

After a moment, Luke looked at the sticky scarlet liquid in the bathtub and hesitated.

"Is there going to be any problem?"

"No, you may feel soreness and numbness at first, and a sense of erosion, which is normal. You just need to lie down and take a nap."

Nanami Kento reached in and felt it, then assured him, "I'll be watching."

Lu Ke took a deep breath, took off his clothes and pants, and entered the blood pool wearing only his shorts.

Just as Nanami Kento said, the feeling of soreness and numbness instantly invaded every part of the body that was soaked. The uncontrolled cursed energy in the body at this moment echoed with the cursed energy in the blood. The two seemed to be quite repelled by each other and began a tug-of-war.

Slowly, the cursed energy in the body counteracted the cursed energy in the blood in a more natural and pure way.

During the war, Lu Ke's consciousness gradually became blurred, and his soul seemed to be leaving his body and drifting towards an infinite height. Suddenly, he saw a layer of light gray mist and several figures.

……

Seeing that everything was normal, Nanami Kento took out a phone and said, "The incident has ended successfully. Senior will awaken the technique in a while."

"Thank you for your help. You can get a larger share this time." A hoarse and sexy female voice came from the other end of the phone.

"What level do you think he can reach after awakening the technique?"

"Hmm, once you've mastered the use of cursed energy, you can probably reach level four. If you're good at the technique, level three is enough to save your life if you don't actively face danger as a sorcerer."

The flow of air changed at some point.

Nanami's voice showed a noticeable fluctuation, a drop of cold sweat slid down his face, feeling the oppressive force rising in the room, as if it were real, he licked his dry lips and spoke with difficulty.

“Mingming, are you sure?”
