“!”

It was as if a massive thunderclap had exploded beside his ears. Wei Chenglin’s hearing rang violently, and for a brief moment, everything went silent.

The blood in his body seemed to surge backward all at once, his face flushing a deep red.

He completely forgot how to react. All he could do was stare blankly as Si Fuqing bent down, picked up the shikigami he had dropped, and crushed it bit by bit between her fingers.

“Shikigami aren’t used like that,” Si Fuqing said, snapping her fingers with a faint smile. “This is how you do it.”

Whoosh!

In the deathly quiet grove, a wisp of ghostly flame suddenly burst forth, streaking past Wei Chenglin’s hair.

With a loud thud, he collapsed to the ground. The smell of scorching filled his nose, and sharp waves of pain spread across his skin.

Yet none of that compared to the shock and disbelief tearing through his mind.

Paralyzed by terror, he couldn’t even scream. His thoughts were in complete chaos, chills running through his entire body as his scalp tingled with dread.

“Y-you…”

How was this possible?!

No matter where they were, Yin-and-Yang Masters were honored guests of major clans and alliances—people others begged to recruit. How could one possibly be slumming it in the entertainment industry?!

Has the world gone mad?

Wei Chenglin had never received systematic training, so he could hardly be considered a true Yin-and-Yang Master.

But that didn’t mean he was ignorant of them.

The more powerful an onmyoji was, the more perfect their control over yin-yang and the Five Elements. That level of mastery required experience. Internationally renowned Yin-and-Yang Masters were usually well past seventy.

Of course, there were prodigies.

It was said that the current young head of the Fujiyama family was only twenty-four, yet already strong enough to contend with the elders.

But the Fujiyama family had poured countless resources into nurturing just that one person!

And Si Fuqing—how old was she?

Eighteen. That was all.

At that age, even the heirs of major onmyoji families were still fumbling through their studies.

Wei Chenglin’s head throbbed violently, phantom images swimming before his eyes.

Si Fuqing walked to the spot he had concealed with weeds and bent down, her voice calm and indifferent.

“You’ve learned the motions well enough,” she said lightly. “But don’t you know that Daxia is the true origin? You really thought all of Daxia’s Yin-and-Yang Masters had disappeared?”

Wei Chenglin still couldn’t speak. He stood there in a daze—until another voice broke the silence.

“Hey! Big sister, why’d you make the first move?” Ji Xingzhi said as he leapt down from the wall. “Didn’t we agree you’d leave him to me? I swear I rushed over as fast as I could.”

“Just stretching my legs,” Si Fuqing said, tapping the ground lightly with the tip of her foot. “Perfect timing. You handle it.”

“Let me take a look.” Ji Xingzhi walked over. “That’s it? I could draw something like this when I was three. What a trash formation—though the intent is vicious. This thing’s meant to weaken someone continuously until they die. Tsk.”

Si Fuqing said quietly, “Didn’t your grandpa ever beat you when you were a kid?”

“Him? He could never catch me.” Ji Xingzhi rolled up his sleeves. “Watch—I’ll break it in no time.”

Wei Chenglin watched as this plainly dressed young man casually dismantled a formation he had spent half a month preparing. His voice caught in his throat. 

“Y-you… who are you?”

“My surname is Ji.” Ji Xingzhi turned around and patted his face. “Running into me is your bad luck. Showing off in front of the ancestors in their own land—where do you get that confidence?”

Ji?!

A Ji… and a Ying-and-Yang Master?!

Wei Chenglin’s pupils dilated. “The Ji… Ji family?! You—”

This time, he couldn’t take it anymore. His vision went black, and he collapsed unconscious.

Si Fuqing kicked Ji Xingzhi lightly and tilted her chin. “What happened to him?”

“Other than destroying his ability to cultivate yin-yang and the Five Elements, I didn’t touch anything else.” Ji Xingzhi took a step back. “He was hit by backlash from his own formation. Even when he wakes up, his mind won’t be right. With a body like that, he still wanted to be a Yin-and-Yang Master?”

The saying that Yin-and-Yang Master are physically weak only applies after a battle—anyone truly weak would never survive the overwhelming power of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements in the first place.

Si Fuqing pulled out her phone. “Mm. Guess he brought it on himself.”

“Hello, Director? I’m out taking a walk and ran into a trainee who fainted,” she said once the call connected. “It looks pretty serious. Please come over quickly.”

After hanging up, she turned back. “Alright, you should go. I’ll treat you to a meal next time.”

“No need.” Ji Xingzhi scratched his head. “I don’t want food—I want you to beat up that Lightning guy for me.”

Yesterday, he’d almost been driven mad.

He thought he’d found a strong teammate, but turned out he might as well have soloed the dungeon himself.
