Speaking of her own Innate Technique, Xia had far too much to say, yet no idea how to express it. She had countless questions, but no one to give her an answer.
In short: a tiny head, and a whole lot of big question marks.
In the "Twin: Light and Shadow Accompanying", the shadow was the hereditary technique of the Zenin family, the Ten Shadows Technique. Since she had just awakened it, she only had the very first Shikigami: the Divine Dogs, Black and White.
As for the light, it was a power of light opposing the power of shadow—and then simply the power of light.
The power of the light element: warming hearts, possessing ultra-strong defense, ultra-strong healing, purification power, and the ability to attack as well.
"Twin" carried the connotation of twins.
One side was light, and the other side was shadow.
Therefore, Xia herself could be the light, or she could switch through "Twin" to become the shadow.
Her "Twin" power could stem either from the bloodline of the Zenin family or from another bloodline possessing a powerful Innate Technique.
That power to manipulate blood—it was the Blood Manipulation technique, heh heh heh heh, the hereditary technique of the Kamo family!
Xia genuinely felt a wave of speechlessness in her heart. Heh.
While feeling happy and joyful, she also harbored deep anxieties.
Such an unrivaled and terrifying talent pointed entirely to an extraordinary family background.
Yet Xia had almost died right after birth, ending up in her current plight. How could the story behind this possibly be simple?
However, strength was the ultimate truth.
Before truly formidable power, all schemes and plots crumbled into vulnerability.
Sometimes technique was certainly important, but people often forgot the saying that overwhelming force breaks all spells.
As long as one's fists were big enough, she would fear no one under heaven.
Xia sent Black and White off to clear out the Cursed Spirits. After seriously sensing and preliminarily comprehending her own Innate Technique, she decided to try using her new power.
Right at that moment, Black and White returned after finishing off the small fry.
They wore utterly satisfied expressions, making it obvious they had just eaten their fill.
Their own strength had also grown slightly—truly, just by a tiny fraction.
It was worth mentioning that Xia, at only six years old, possessed enough pure Cursed Energy and sheer brute output to already reach the level of a Special Grade Sorcerer. Furthermore, her control and technique were not lacking in the least, making her a true Special Grade in every sense.
And after awakening her own Innate Technique, Xia's strength had experienced another explosive surge of growth; arguably, she could already be considered a veteran Special Grade Sorcerer.
As for the Divine Dogs, Black and White, even in their initial state right after being summoned, they had already reached the level of a Grade 2 Sorcerer.
Now, after a delicious and hearty meal, the two of them had barely managed to reach the level of a Grade 1 Sorcerer.
Ah, very good. Her "tools" had grown stronger, meaning she could relax and slack off even more.
Although there weren't any particularly powerful Cursed Spirits in the immediate vicinity—at most, a Grade 2 Cursed Spirit would appear on rare occasions—Xia, who preferred to play it safe and lie low, was actually quite satisfied with this turf.
It was just that, having stayed all by herself for so long, she was honestly on the verge of going crazy.
Among sorcerers, not a single one was mentally stable; you could say every single one of them was a lunatic.
However, Xia—who had once been a little bunny from the land of China, growing up under nine years of compulsory education and beneath the Five-Star Red Flag—wasn't crazy to such an absurd degree.
Six years had reached her limit.
Xia had actually never truly explored places further away. For one thing, she was too young, which made things inconvenient. (If she actually ran into people, she might be looked down upon or something—though anyone who dared to look down on her would definitely meet a terrible end.)
Another reason was that she simply hadn't taken it seriously yet; at least she needed to lay low until she was strong enough, right?
Now, though, she was probably just about ready.
Xia decided to venture a bit further out and stretch her little feet out to do a tiny bit of exploring. Of course, the moment any danger arose, she would turn right back.
