Chapter 1278 1276: He Already Has Me
Paying the registration fee made Su Chen feel quite troubled.
"If you don't have enough for the registration fee, she could work at our Soul Fighting Arena," the humanoid Shikigami said, looking intently at Shuiyue Jingxiang.
Although Shuiyue Jingxiang is half-human and half-horse.
But in the eyes of the humanoid Shikigami, this is not unusual.
On the contrary, because she has half-human form.
The business might be particularly good.
No need for Su Chen to think.
From the look in the humanoid Shikigami's eyes, he could tell.
The kind of work the humanoid Shikigami was referring to.
Luckily, Shuiyue Jingxiang could still afford to pay one hundred units of spirit.
If she didn't even have the one hundred units of spirit.
Then perhaps, Shuiyue Jingxiang really would have to do that work.
After all, Su Chen had already come to understand.
Here, everything requires the consumption of spirit.
And trying to earn spirit, is extremely difficult.
The easiest place is the Soul Fighting Arena.
But at the same time, it's also the hardest place.
Because it equals risking one's life.
In the Soul Fighting Arena, there's no concept of giving up.
Losing means death.
So simple and brutal.
This was the reason Shuiyue Jingxiang initially didn't want Su Chen to participate in soul fighting.
After paying one hundred units of spirit.
Su Chen obtained the qualification for soul fighting.
The first match, he won easily.
Directly earning one hundred units of spirit as a reward.
It seems this place is indeed a good place to obtain spirit.
One fight, and you can earn one hundred units of spirit.
Mind you, here.
One hundred units of spirit is actually not a small amount.
It can be used for many things.
Just the simplest.
If you want a hot companion to spend the night with.
Then spending one unit of spirit will have many female Shikigami rushing in.
Spirit is the most real currency.
Even more precious than gold on Earth.
Because there's only one way to acquire spirit.
And that is Shikigami being summoned out for battle and collecting a small portion.
Usually, Onmyoji don't casually summon Shikigami.
Su Chen had summoned Shuiyue Jingxiang dozens of times in total.
Shuiyue Jingxiang had only managed to collect three hundred units of spirit.
And this has been over several months.
Many Shikigami go months without being summoned once.
Unable to collect any spirit at all.
Second match.
Su Chen won again.
This time earning two hundred units of spirit.
Third match.
Four hundred units of spirit.
Fourth match, eight hundred units of spirit.
It seems each fight doubles the reward.
However, it doesn't compound.
It greatly saved Su Chen the time needed to acquire spirit.
However, Su Chen also noticed.
With each fight, although the spirit awarded increases greatly.
The opposition's strength.
Also grew exponentially.
Su Chen had already won five matches in a row.
Gaining three thousand and one hundred units of spirit.
This also meant.
He had personally killed five formidable Shikigami.
And the last Shikigami he slew.
They had already reached Saint Realm level!
According to Shuiyue Jingxiang.
The number of Shikigami in this space may not be less than humans.
But reaching Saint Realm level Shikigami, is surely among the strongest.
Yet for merely one thousand six hundred units of spirit.
They lost their life.
Thus it can be seen, the preciousness of spirit.
But, wanting to participate in the Throne Trial.
Requires one million units of spirit.
Su Chen currently only has a mere three thousand and one hundred units.
Far from a million, not even close.
Although the rewards get richer towards the latter stages.
The opponents also become stronger.
Even Su Chen wouldn't dare say he could emerge victorious for sure.
One loss.
Means the end of life.
Upon leaving the Soul Fighting Arena.
Immediately, countless female Shikigami gathered around.
They varied in "looks."
Some had goat bodies, cow bodies, tiger forms, horse forms... all kinds of strange shapes.
"Hey handsome, need company? Just two units of spirit."
"I'll accept just one unit of spirit!"
"I'm first, don't fight me for this!"
"..."
A group of female Shikigami fought fiercely for Su Chen's business.
All for merely one or two units of spirit.
However, even one or two units of spirit.
The average Shikigami wouldn't spend recklessly.
In their eyes.
Su Chen, who had won five matches in a row, was already a super rich person.
There's no choice, even though earning spirit this way is slow, it's safer.
Plus, Shikigami don't find anything wrong with it.
Each to their own needs.
Just a transaction.
Su Chen's face twitched with discomfort.
Damn.
They're all different species...
Faced with the enthusiasm of the female Shikigami.
Su Chen didn't know what to do.
Fortunately, Shuiyue Jingxiang stepped forward.
"He already has me!"
Only then did those female Shikigami back off.
Still looking somewhat regretful.
Some female Shikigami even secretly came up to Su Chen asking if he wanted to add another.
Two together were also no problem.
It must be said.
When it comes to such matters, Shikigami are quite open.
However, speaking of which, most Shikigami are beast-like in form.
Since they're beast-like, they must have beastly nature.
The only difference is.
Their intelligence is far higher than beasts.
Moreover, Su Chen hadn't even noticed until now.
That the Shikigami and he communicated.
Using the language of Earth.
Grounded in long-time evolution.
Shikigami have also learned quite a bit of Earth's languages.
Su Chen and Shuiyue Jingxiang found a hotel to settle down.
Originally, Su Chen wanted to book two rooms.
However, Shuiyue Jingxiang refused.
Because spirit was too precious.
And the price for one room turned out to be ten units of spirit.
There were rooms for five units of spirit too.
Su Chen, having obtained spirit so easily.
Didn't bother much, directly chose the most expensive room for ten units of spirit.
For Su Chen, ten units of spirit was nothing.
But for Shuiyue Jingxiang.
It was incredibly valuable.
The role of spirit extends far beyond what Su Chen has seen now.
And as a Shikigami, collecting ten units of spirit is so challenging.
Moreover, Su Chen still needed to participate in the Throne Trial.
Anyway, before entering the Throne.
Shuiyue Jingxiang would also stay outdoors.
Never stayed in a room.
Therefore, there was no need to waste those ten units of spirit.
Su Chen didn't insist.
Anyway, with Shuiyue Jingxiang looking like that.
He couldn't possibly do anything to her.
But when Shuiyue Jingxiang entered the room.
Her lower horse body turned into a human form!
"Wh-what's going on?" Su Chen was stunned.
"I-I don't know, maybe it's a special effect of the room," Shuiyue Jingxiang speculated.
