How did I, an Onmyoji, become the Lord of Yokai?

Perhaps due to the influence of her demon bloodline, Hagoromo inexplicably has no resistance to the word "competition." Every time they meet, Hagoromo drags Shimizu Asahi and Seimei into a competition.

"Hehe... I don't mind if you want to," Seimei replied with a smile.

"Then it's settled. Both sides need to go all out."

"Ah."

Just as Hagoromo was challenging Seimei, Aika shook her head helplessly and reminded him, "Brother, if you say that, what if Seimei beats you but you don't? Wouldn't that be embarrassing?"

"Don't worry, my brother is very strong too." After saying this, Yu Yi put down her teacup and walked to the center of the courtyard.

He looked at Shimizu Asahi in the corridor and said, "Alright, before competing with Seimei, let's finish the competition with Asahi-nii first!"

"Brother Chaoyang, I'm sure I'll beat you this time!"

"Are you in the right state of mind?"

"Yes! It's all done!"

Hearing the black-haired boy's confident words, Shimizu Asahi stood up with a smile and said, "I'll leave the barrier to you, Seimei."

"Don't worry, I'll maintain the barrier."

As Seimei spoke, he threw out a talisman, and the next moment, a blue barrier with a radius of ten meters fell from the sky.

P.S.: Ugh, let's see if I can manage three updates today.

Chapter 38, Section 38: Speak the most confident words, do the most amateurish things.

Within the blue barrier, the young student and the half-demon boy stood facing each other.

"Brother Chaoyang, I'm sure I can beat you this time!"

The half-demon boy made a confident declaration.

The young student chuckled softly and replied, "Yes, I'm ready. I can start anytime, Yu Yi."

As the older brother, Shimizu Asahi relinquished the first move.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony!"

As soon as Shimizu Asahi finished speaking, Yu Yi unceremoniously threw out a blue talisman.

The talisman inscribed with strange characters instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire.

As the child of the great yokai Tamamo-no-Mae, Hagoromo's physical abilities are naturally superior to those of ordinary people. Therefore, in the path of the Onmyoji, he is more suited to take the path of using swords as a means to gain the power to change the world.

Moreover, Tamamo-no-Mae also knew a little about swords—although Yubashiri was no longer by his side, this still could not deny the fact that he had once fought with a blade.

However, Yu Yi still chose the first path.

Of course, even so, Hagoromo's talent in Onmyoji is still amazing.

—Under Yu Yi's control, the blue talisman transformed into a raging orange-red sea of ​​fire, sweeping towards Shimizu Asahi with unstoppable momentum.

The raging flames scorched the air, and in the blink of an eye, the surrounding temperature rose noticeably.

Shimizu Asahi stood still, his black eyes calmly watching the flames crashing towards him like huge waves.

"boom!"

The wave of fire slammed into the blue barrier—the young student had raised his arm at some point, and a blue barrier blocked his way.

The fire was forcefully separated by the barrier, and the clear water and rising sun behind the barrier remained completely unharmed.

Yu Yi witnessed this scene without panic or surprise. He simply flicked his finger, and the surging and gathering flames immediately spread outwards, forming a circle that surrounded Qing Shui Chao Yang.

Then, the rising flames transformed into burning foxes that surged in from all directions, and the scorching heat began to burn the skin of the young students.

During sparring, Hagoromo becomes extremely calm and will never speak unless absolutely necessary.

Seeing this, Qingshui Chaoyang smiled slightly, then calmly put his two fingers together and casually moved them.

The next moment, a pentagram array appeared beneath his feet, and a pale blue light rose from the array, instantly engulfing his body.

The surging fire foxes were blocked by the blue light, as if they had encountered an impenetrable barrier, unable to advance even an inch.

Witnessing the blue beam of light, Yu Yi narrowed her eyes slightly, and then the spiritual energy flowing through her body surged out wildly.

The orange-red flames grew darker and darker, and the temperature inside the barrier rose higher and higher. The flames, which had been unable to advance even an inch, suddenly became incredibly aggressive.

The pale blue beam of light resembled a small boat in a storm, which could capsize at any moment.

"Brother's strength has increased again." Aihua exclaimed in amazement as she looked at the surging, scorching waves of fire.

"Yes, but Chaoyang hasn't really made a move yet."

Seimei could tell that although it seemed like Hagoromo was suppressing Shimizu Asahi, in reality, both sides were still in a simple probing phase.

Because the three of them would meet only once every month or two, and no one knew how much the other two had improved during those months, they would always test each other carefully before each competition.

However, this probing should come to an end.

Just as Seimei was thinking this, Hagoromo made his move.

"Word of Power: Lock!"

With a soft shout, a pale green light emerged from Yu Yi's body. He waved his hand and threw out more than a dozen talismans that were stuck in the air. Then, in the next second, dozens of chains emerged from the talismans!

The chains instantly wrapped around the pale blue pillar of light, taut and straight, as if intending to crush it.

At the same time, the orange-red flames began to climb the pillar of light!

Before long, the entire pillar of light was engulfed by flames.

It seems the outcome is already decided.

In fact, after watching this scene, Seimei chuckled and said, "It's over."

As he spoke, a blue beam of light burst forth, its blinding brilliance suppressing the glow of the orange-red flames.

Then, a clear, shattering sound rang out.

The chains wrapped around the blue beam of light shattered instantly.

Yu Yi shielded her eyes with one hand, but there was still no surprise in her eyes.

The next second, the beam of light dissipated, and Qingshui Chaoyang's figure reappeared in the three people's sight.

The surrounding sea of ​​fire surged up at him the moment he appeared, as if it had found its prey.

But then, waves appeared.

A thick jet of water erupted from beneath the young student's feet, lifting him up and taking him away from the flames.

He stood atop the water column, looking down at Yu Yi, whose expression was solemn, and then a slight smile appeared on his face.

"boom!!!"

A torrent of water gushed forth from underground, and flames and water collided violently, the sizzling sound of the flames burning the water instantly echoing throughout the courtyard.

However, the flames didn't even last three seconds before being extinguished by the water.

After the flames were extinguished, the water flowed towards the feathered robe.

Seeing the huge waves of water gushing from the ground, Yu Yi's expression turned serious. She imitated Shimizu Chaoyang by throwing out a talisman, which transformed into a blue shield in an attempt to block the attack.

The next moment, the water surged, and the parted waves rushed up from behind him. Before he could react, he was swallowed up by the waves.

The outcome is decided.

Aihua took a sip of her tea and said those words without any surprise.

If Shimizu Asahi hadn't yet entered the Onmyoryo (the Bureau of Yin and Yang) to study, Hagoromo might still have had a chance to win. But unfortunately, Shimizu Asahi became Kamo no Tadayuki's student.

Under his teacher's guidance, his strength improved greatly in the year. Although Hagoromo also worked hard, how could he, who was studying alone at home, possibly defeat Shimizu Asahi?

Although Shimizu Asahi would teach Hagoromo what he had learned after each sparring session, this also meant that Hagoromo was always one step behind Shimizu Asahi, and it was normal that he couldn't win.

As for the line "I will definitely beat you this time" that Yu Yi shouted, it wasn't the first time she had said it.

He's been shouting ever since he lost to Shimizu Asahi...

However, to be honest, this time Shimizu Asahi simply used her spiritual power to suppress Hagoromo, and didn't do anything else.

Inside the barrier, the surging waters had gradually subsided, and the swallowed feather robe had been freed from the waves. He sat on the ground, shaking his head, seemingly still in a daze.

At that moment, a calloused hand was extended in front of him, accompanied by the gentle voice of Qing Shui Chao Yang.

"Are you alright, Yui?"

P.S.: Reines sank! Waaah, the author is crying!

Section 39, Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Peril of the Genji

"Cough cough..."

Grasping the outstretched hand, Yu Yi stood up again.

He shook his slightly dizzy head and said with a hint of helplessness, "I lost again... I really can't beat you, Brother Chaoyang."

"You've improved a lot too; it took me some effort to win."

"I am very modest," said Shimizu Asahi.

"It's always the same thing. This time, suppressing me with spiritual power alone took quite a bit of effort." Hagoromo said this to Shimizu Asahi's modest words, whether in a teasing or self-deprecating way.

But the next moment, he showed a determined expression and declared, "But Brother Chaoyang, next time, I will definitely beat you!"

......

When Shimizu Asahi completed her monthly task, a white-haired woman in a gorgeous kimono appeared in the shrine room where only Shimizu Mio and Tamamo-no-Mae were sitting facing each other.

This woman's name is Kuzuha. She is not only the wife of the Yin-Yang Abe family, but also a white fox among the fox demon clan.

—She married Abe no Masatsugu, the strongest Onmyoji in the Abe family, under the identity of a yokai, and gave birth to Abe no Seimei.

Within the entire Abe household, only two people knew her true identity as a yokai: Abe Masatsugu and Abe Seimei.

In fact, if anyone else in the Abe family knew her identity as a yokai, she wouldn't be able to stay in the Abe family.

No Yin-Yang School allows monsters to enter its ranks, let alone allow a monster to become the spouse of the school's strongest Yin-Yang Master.

Once such a thing is exposed, either the two parties will sever all ties, or the couple will leave together.
