Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

The fifth stone can lead to enlightenment.

Most exorcists in this world are actually at stage 1 to 5.

They themselves do not possess any magic; they can only use various tools to exorcise demons.

Only those with a spiritual energy quality exceeding 5 can cultivate and thus possess true magical power.

Such people are extremely rare.

"Let's try the third one."

Grandpa said, "Only those with a spiritual power level exceeding 10 can subdue shikigami and make otherworldly beings submit."

The existence of shikigami (spirits) itself is a considerable burden for sorcerers.

If your spiritual power is insufficient, you will be unable to suppress demons.

Moreover, a person with a spiritual power quality of only 10 cannot control a demon with a demonic power quality of more than 10. Even if they forcibly subdue it, they must leave the demon in a weakened state.

"Those who are weak cannot subdue demons stronger than themselves."

Once a shikigami's demonic power surpasses that of the sorcerer, unless the two have an extremely close relationship, the shikigami is likely to suffer a backlash from the demon.

"call!"

Soon, the stone was thrown into the air again.

This time, however, Gu Yun saw that the stone did not disappear, but instead landed steadily in the distant forest.

"We're getting closer."

Grandpa looked at the fourth piece.

The fourth block has a mass of 20. If you can lift it as well, and the speed is still the same.

Therefore, Gu Yun's aptitude must surpass that of his cousin, Iijima Ritsu.

Lu inherited his grandfather's bloodline. Although his spiritual power was not great due to his age, it was still very strong.

Grandpa roughly estimated from the reactions of the twenty stones that the strength of the law's spiritual power should have reached 25.

"bring it on."

Grandpa placed the stone in front of Gu Yun: "Concentrate."

"Ah."

This time, Gu Yun finally felt some weight.

The stone representing 20 suddenly shot upwards and then began to fall.

However, it was thrown again when it was close to the height between Gu Yun's eyebrows.

This process, going up and down, repeats endlessly.

"Amazing, absolutely amazing!"

Even a level 20 Inspiration Stone has such a strong reaction.

Grandpa was almost certain that Gu Yun's aptitude surpassed Lu's, and might even surpass his own.

"My spiritual power level is about 40, which is rare even in the whole of Japan."

Therefore, Grandpa was very strong. Even if he couldn't defeat a great monster, he could still protect his family.

Of course, the confrontation here refers to one-on-one.

If the great demon summons the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, Grandpa will definitely take the family and run away.

“However, I believe,” Grandpa placed 50 inspiration stones in front of Gu Yun, “that you will be even more outstanding than me, little Gu Yun.”

"Ah."

Gu Yun nodded and focused his mind once more.

This time, the Inspiration Stone did not bounce, but floated slowly until it was several tens of centimeters above and below Gu Yun's brow, rising and falling irregularly.

"Snapped!"

Grandpa clapped his hands and then let out a hearty laugh. The old man pinched Gu Yun's cheek and said, "You are indeed Grandpa's adorable grandson!"

Being able to lift a 50-stone Inspiration Stone does not mean that you only have 50.

Grandpa estimated the speed and felt that Gu Yun's inspiration level should exceed 50.

As for the exact amount exceeding that, further testing is needed.

"A spiritual power level exceeding 50, is that impressive?"

"Of course it's amazing!"

Grandpa laughed and said, "If I were to encounter a parade of a hundred ghosts, I would never think of attacking it head-on."

“But Xiao Gu Yun, you are different.”

It's not that Gu Yun can fight 100 people by himself, but rather that his spiritual power is strong enough to form contracts with a large number of shikigami.

"At most, I, your grandfather, can only support five powerful demons."

Only those with a spiritual power level of 20 are qualified to form a contract with demons.

For every 5 points of spiritual power that exceeds the limit, you can contract an additional demon.

Therefore, Ritsu can only contract with two, while Grandpa can have five powerful shikigami.

However, all of this is incomparable to the number of shikigami after reaching 50 points of spiritual power.

"When the spiritual power exceeds 50 points, you can form a contract with a great demon and make it a shikigami."

The great monsters are terrifying, but humans are not without ways to deal with them.

With proper planning, a human mage can seal away a great monster.

All of this is predicated on having a spiritual energy level exceeding 50.

"In addition, once the spiritual power level reaches 50, there is no limit to the number of shikigami contracts that can be made."

If Gu Yun is willing, he can contract a vast number of demons.

That's why Grandpa said that if your spiritual power is greater than 50, you're qualified to face the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.

The opponent has 100 monsters, and I also have hundreds of shikigami.

If the two sides were to fight, the outcome would be unpredictable.

"Let's try the 100 piece first," Grandpa said. "If it can't be moved, we'll start by adding pieces from 50 little by little."

The composition of the Stone of the Way is extremely special; it is not the same as 100 stones equaling 100.

The Inspiration Stone has a boundary of qualitative change; that is, if you want to measure 51, you must have a 50 and a 1.

Similarly, 76 must be 50, 20, 5 and 1, these are the four inspiration stones.

"Ah."

Gu Yun was unaware of the limits of his spiritual power.

He looked at the Inspiration Stone with a quality of 100, but this time, Gu Yun clearly felt the pressure.

"Good weight!"

"Can't lift it? That's okay, it's normal. We'll continue..."

Grandpa was planning to make Gu Yun give up.

But the next moment, Grandpa's eyes widened, and he stared in disbelief at the huge inspiration stone that was slowly floating up in front of him.

"this!!"

"How can it be…"

Grandpa was stunned. He stared blankly at the scene before him, even forgetting to time Gu Yun.

"Clap."

Finally, Gu Yun's spiritual power was exhausted, and the huge inspiration stone fell to the ground.

It was this crisp sound that startled the silent old man.

"grandfather?"

Because his spiritual energy was exhausted, Gu Yun was panting heavily.

"I'm fine, it's just... I just feel..."

Is it a surprise? Of course it is.

But more than anything, there was a sense of unease that followed.

Grandpa was naturally not jealous of Gu Yun's talent; what he was afraid of now was whether his grandson would be harmed by demons.

Since ancient times, there have been legends that demons devour human flesh and blood to increase their demonic power.

The more noble a person is, and the purer (i.e. stronger) their spiritual power, the more their flesh and blood can help demons.

Without a doubt, if other demons knew the purity of Gu Yun's spiritual power, they would rush over like madmen and devour him.

"Grandpa, should we continue testing? I feel like I can lift something even heavier."

"No need, Xiao Guyun."

Grandpa shook his head and said with a wry smile, "The limit of the Inspiration Stone is 100."

It can only test up to 100.

Even the limit of any spiritual energy purity testing tool is only 100 points.

What does 100 mean, 100 points?

No, the numbers here actually represent percentages.

That's right, from 1% to 100%!

The spiritual energy is already pure and perfect; how could it be any more?

The reason Gu Yun felt he could lift even more was due to the extent of his spiritual power.

That is, 10 inspiration stones of 100 each float up.
