Five Elements Escape Technique

After learning about the strength of the Isayama Family, Bell began to have wicked thoughts.

He subtly inquired about the Isayama Family's lineage and their treasured books on Onmyodo, and expressed his desire to purchase some of the books.

However, after Yomi politely stated that he needed to consult his father, he said nothing more.

It seems this path is blocked.

Although Bell was somewhat disappointed, he didn't take it too seriously.

The fact that there is still no school for Onmyoji in the Japan Curse World, and that the tradition is still based on family-based inheritance, makes it easy to see that the xenophobia of various Onmyoji families is still quite serious.

In addition to being concerned about his own goals, as a loving son who cares deeply for his father, Bell didn't forget to inquire about information for his father as well.

Yomi stated that she didn't know much about the overall situation in the Curse World.

Because of the rampant evil spirits, Onmyoji generally rely on their local area and band together for mutual support.

However, the "grouping together" mentioned here does not refer to all Onmyoji, but rather to everyone setting aside their differences and loving each other without any disputes.

Onmyoji are also human beings, and as long as they are human beings, they can never escape the existence of discrimination and prejudice.

Therefore, while the various clans banded together to deal with the evil spirits, they also did not forget to exploit the value of wandering Onmyoji.

Meanwhile, the wandering Onmyoji, while banding together to deal with the exploitation by the major clans, often take on tasks issued by the major clans to earn some extra money.

As for the power struggles between various families and the vying for power among wandering Onmyoji, that could easily be made into a 200+ episode TV series.

Fortunately, Yomi hasn't had much exposure to these things due to his age.

Just hearing Yomi describe the tip of the iceberg that she knew made Bell feel dizzy and lightheaded, and he wanted to fry something to perk himself up.

In short, the Onmyoji were already exhausted just dealing with the evil spirits in their own little corner of the world.

Therefore, there is absolutely no concept of territorial disputes among Onmyoji.

If someone were to take over the responsibility of exorcising spirits in this area, then the Onmyoji, whose nerves are nearly broken by the torment of evil spirits, would not only object, but would probably welcome them with great fanfare.

After all, these days, truly great people with this kind of internationalist spirit are practically extinct.

In conclusion, this explains why a large group of people would appear when William was conducting business negotiations.

After telling his father what he had learned, Bell got back to his business—playing with his little sister.

Today, because his parents had informed Bell in advance that they wouldn't be home for dinner, Bell decided to take Shanna out to eat.

Of course, eating out was just a side thing. Bell's main purpose was to take his younger sister to visit Tokyo Tower.

Bell couldn't remember where she heard it, but it was said that the view from Tokyo Tower at night was incredibly beautiful. She wondered if it was true or not.

"Shanna, what do you think?"

Standing atop the tower, Bell surveyed the night view before him.

"So-so. What do you think, Gege?"

"..."

Bell remained silent and did not respond. He had already realized that he had done something incredibly stupid.

Unlike his former self who was just an ordinary person, he is now a wizard!

Although his ability to burrow underground is still not very good, flying is already a basic skill for him. So, when he's looking at the night view from a high place, he can use whatever posture he wants.

"Hmm... the evening breeze feels quite nice?"

Bell finally managed to think of something to praise. The weather was still quite hot, even though it was almost the end of July. Especially in humid Tokyo, Japan, it was unbearably stuffy.

Although the Constant Temperature Badge prevented Bell and Shanna from feeling uncomfortable due to temperature fluctuations, the cool night breeze was still quite pleasant.

Yomi tried to gather her hair, which had been blown about by the strong wind, and glanced at Bell, who was lying through his teeth.

That damn Bell, couldn't he have expanded his air-filtering barrier—which has no idea how it works—to include her as well?

I should have spent more time learning magic!

The current Yomi is not the same person she used to be. If it were before, she would definitely have tried to stop Bell and Shanna from going to the top of the tower to see the view.

Now, she's pretty much used to the Bell siblings' eccentricities and no longer criticizes them one by one.

It can be said that as long as the brother and sister don't plan to detonate Mount Fuji, she can face it calmly.

"Shall we go back?"

Bell made the suggestion with a dull expression.

"Um."

Shanna nodded.

Bell held his sister's hand, and the two landed at the top of Tokyo Tower. Then, something astonishing happened.

Suddenly, ripples like water spread across the thick outer wall of Tokyo Tower, and the Bell siblings seemed to be standing on the water as they slowly sank down.

This is the new "Earth Escape Technique" that Bell has learned.

Of all the magical techniques used by China Cultivator, Bell admired the "Five Elements Escape Technique" the most.

In his view, these five escape techniques can be said to combine attack, defense and movement into one. Although they are difficult to master, once you master them to a high level, you can become completely invulnerable to swords and spears and impervious to water and fire.

While Bell's Earth Escape Technique) doesn't yet allow him to freely traverse the earth, it's still perfectly capable of things like passing through walls.

Incidentally, a common problem for beginners practicing Earth Escape Technique is that they easily get stuck inside walls.

As for this issue, Bell, who possesses the true secret of the "Invincible Wall Passing Technique," has never been worried about it.

"Hey! Give me a ride too!"

Seeing Bell and Shanna already submerged in the tower, Yomi anxiously called out to them.

Although she was able to summon Ran Honglian and jump off on Ran Honglian back, that's exactly how she jumped up there before.

However, as mentioned before, summoning a top-tier spirit beast like the Ran Honglian consumes a great deal of magical energy. Having spent the entire day following the Bell siblings, Yomi's magical energy was running low; she needed to conserve it as much as possible!

"However, men and women should not touch each other. Right now, I don't have the ability to use earth magic to transport people without physical contact."

Bell said that if he could, he would also like to give the other person a ride. However, his abilities are limited, and he hopes for their understanding.

"What do you mean by 'men and women shouldn't touch each other'? You little brat, why are you making such a fuss?"

And don't think I don't know that the separation of men and women is China tradition, not Britain one!

After spending so many days together, the three of them have become much closer than before. Therefore, their conversations have become less formal and more casual.

Bell likes a relaxed feeling.

To be honest, in the first few days after arriving, every time Bell communicated with Yomi, he felt uncomfortable and awkward.

"Age doesn't mean anything. Don't be fooled by the fact that I'm a few years younger than you; I already have a daughter..."
