Suiyang Subjugation Art.

So it's the technique for subjugating Suiyang?

At the same time, he felt like he had heard that term before, but couldn't recall the specifics.

After thinking for a while, Ji Yuan remembered that his mother had mentioned it once. They were creatures that had fought against the Xianzhou people, but later their leader 'Firebringer' was imprisoned by the Xianzhou and used as a power source, so now they rarely cause much trouble.

They were said to be beings that could possess and steal a person's body. His mother had told Ji Yuan to be extremely careful if he ever encountered a Suiyang.

"But now I have the technique to subjugate Suiyang, and there's a Suiyang right here. I can use it to try."

Ji Yuan thought to himself.

Having thought of this, Ji Yuan began to receive the Suiyang Subjugation Art.

A segment of memory appeared in his mind.

A Suiyang like a ghostly flame appeared, and beside it, a black silhouette emerged. The black silhouette formed hand seals, its internal energy flowing in a specific pattern, until finally a Talisman formed from energy appeared, completely enveloping the Suiyang.

Ji Yuan committed all of this to memory.

The next second, another scene appeared. This time, the Suiyang had already directly entered the black silhouette's body. The black silhouette immediately tapped a spot on its own brow, and the Suiyang that had entered its body instantly stopped moving. After that, the black silhouette sat cross-legged, circulating its energy in a different way to bind the Suiyang within its body.

It wasn't over yet. The black silhouette before Ji Yuan's eyes shifted again.

This time there were two black silhouettes. The Suiyang entered one of them, while the other began the subjugation technique.

This time was much more troublesome than the previous two. The earlier steps included a process of pacification. Only after the Suiyang lodged within the first black silhouette had calmed down did the other silhouette begin to perform the subjugation technique...

Ji Yuan memorized all these techniques. No matter where a Suiyang appeared, Ji Yuan would know what to do.

With these techniques, he could face a Suiyang without fear.

As for exposing himself, he naturally didn't care.

In fact, Ji Yuan wished he could master a whole bunch of skills right now so that the General or even the Cloud Knight Marshal would take notice of him. Then he could just hide by their side, freeload off them every day, and be perfectly safe.

Unless it was an Aeon trying to kill him, Ji Yuan wouldn't be afraid at all.

"I shouldn't be able to attract an Aeon's hostility, right?"

Ji Yuan comforted himself, then glanced at Huohuo's tail, which was still glowing brightly.

Huohuo seemed to notice Ji Yuan looking at her, and nervously backed up several more steps, gripping her flag tightly as if she intended to use it as a weapon to beat Ji Yuan.

"So that little loli's glowing tail is where the Suiyang is parasitizing? Being able to coexist peacefully with such a little loli, this Suiyang is really strange."

Ji Yuan thought to himself.

But since it had a character design in the original game and could become a famous judge a hundred years later, this little loli must have something unique about her.

To avoid being further misunderstood as a lolicon, Ji Yuan walked toward the house.

While Huohuo was still trembling nervously with her head down, the tail immediately shouted, "Hey, that lolicon has already gone inside. If you don't want to face him after he's been possessed by a Suiyang, you'd better go stop him."

"Ah!" Huohuo snapped back to reality as if waking from a dream, tightened her grip on the command flag, and quickly walked toward the house.

"Th-that sir, stop, stop right there!"

Inside the room, Ji Yuan was already face to face with the Suiyang in the house.

The moment he stepped into the room, he felt a gaze on him.

Turning his head, he saw a ghostly flame appear before him.

"Hehehehehe—, I didn't expect you to be much more perceptive than the previous owner of this house. You noticed me as soon as you walked in."

It cast a disdainful look outside.

"I've been in this room for so long, playing tricks by his pillow every night. But he never noticed, just thought the house had too much yin energy and was bad for living in long-term, so he hurriedly sold it off."

Hearing the Suiyang's words, Ji Yuan thought for a moment and then remarked, "That guy... looks like I'll have to find him later and have a good talk about the housing price for this place."

"Alright, I'll remember your wish. Once I take over your body and leave here, I'll go buy this house at the cheapest price."

The Suiyang laughed loudly.

Just then, Huohuo rushed in, the tail behind her emitting an even stronger green light.

"Hey, kid, if you don't want to die, back off right now."

The tail shouted at Ji Yuan.

The Suiyang in the room saw the tail, paused for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, that's hilarious! 'Liaoyuan', the most battle-hungry fragment of the great Suiyang, has now become the tail of a little Fox Folk girl. Hahaha, how ridiculous!"

"Now that you're just a tail, shut your mouth and behave."

The Suiyang roared at the tail, then turned to look at Ji Yuan.

"Come on, let me take your body."

It flew rapidly toward Ji Yuan.

At that moment, Ji Yuan's right hand had already finished forming a hand seal. Seeing the Suiyang approach, Ji Yuan not only showed no fear but instead laughed cheerfully.

Chapter 16: Ji Yuan: Huohuo, would you like to be my student?

This guy really has no fear!

Seeing Ji Yuan's fearless expression, the Suiyang sneered coldly.

It had seen many people like this, especially the young. They grasp a bit of ability and skill and think themselves invincible, only to rein in that arrogant attitude after being thoroughly taught a lesson.

Today's encounter was no different.

"Too bad for you, though. After I possess you, you might not get a chance to correct your ways."

The Suiyang thought to itself.

It arrived before Ji Yuan.

"Huohuo, this kid's about to get his body taken over. Grow a spine and get ready to fight."

Huohuo nervously covered her face.

Her legs trembled even more violently.

Just as everyone expected Ji Yuan to be possessed, his fingertip collided with the Suiyang before him.

The moment they touched, a talisman-shaped formation appeared at Ji Yuan's fingertip. These formations rapidly expanded, firmly binding the Suiyang, which looked like a wisp of ghost fire.

"Hmph, useless... What have you done!?"

The first half of the Suiyang's words were still arrogant laughter, thinking how foolish someone had to be to believe they could control a Suiyang like this. But in the second half, its tone instantly turned panicked.

It found its body completely unable to move. Its form, which should have been pure energy, was somehow restrained as if by some force, utterly immobile.

"Looks like I'll have to go find that landlord myself to negotiate a low-price house purchase."

"I... I want to..."

Huohuo had just mustered her courage, intending to fight the possessed Suiyang. At that moment, she looked up and saw the already subdued Suiyang, instantly stunned and at a loss.

What!?

The Suiyang was subdued?

The energy released by this apparent lolicon in front of her had rendered the seemingly dangerous Suiyang completely immobile.

"T-Tail Master, is, is this... subdued?"

Huohuo stammered.

"Yes, but it's more than just subduing."

Tail's tone was very grave.

There were plenty of people who could use energy to immobilize a Suiyang. Even something as powerful as 'Firebringer' had been trapped by the Xianzhou people. But those cases only imprisoned the Suiyang, taking away their freedom while leaving them as themselves—the Suiyang could still act according to their own will.

But now, Tail sensed a different kind of danger from the energy Ji Yuan released from his hand.

It was penetrating deep into the Suiyang's body, taking control of its very form.

"Could he actually be controlling the Suiyang?"

Tail wondered in shock.

And in the next second, this terrifying speculation was instantly confirmed.

Ji Yuan flicked the Suiyang on the forehead and commanded in a tone of authority, "Come on, spin a hundred circles in the air for me."

"Heh, don't think just because you've restrained me you can order me around... Hey, hey, hey, why is my body out of control again?"

The Suiyang's tone was still defiant, but under Ji Yuan's command, it obediently began flying in circles around the room.

Watching the Suiyang spinning endlessly, Tail felt a sense of panic for the first time.

Being controlled, having one's body completely obey another's commands—for a Suiyang, that was something more terrifying than death.

"Huohuo, kill him!"

In its panic, it blurted out instinctively.

"Oh... Ah!? K-kill someone? How is that possible? T-Tail Master, what are you saying?" Huohuo first nodded reflexively, but then immediately looked up, sensing something was wrong.

Kill someone?

How could that be?

And besides, that lolicon gentleman had used an ability to control the Suiyang? If I had such a skill, could I make myself braver, and, and not be so bullied by Tail Master?

Huohuo looked at the Suiyang, now reduced to a blur from spinning, with a hint of admiration.

She wanted to ask what kind of technique this was, but considering she had only just met Ji Yuan today, it naturally wasn't appropriate to inquire.

Tail had also calmed down by now. It said quietly to Huohuo, "I lost my composure."

At the same time, it addressed Ji Yuan, who was still admiring the room's structure, "Kid, I want to ask you—where did you learn this technique? And how many others know it?"

"I don't have to tell you that."

Ji Yuan glanced sideways at Tail and said.

"I..."

Tail was left speechless.

Already at a disadvantage, it couldn't find a reason to openly defy Ji Yuan. The key issue was that the Suiyang, still flying in circles across the ceiling, made Tail fear it too might be controlled and forced to fly up there.

At that moment, the Suiyang finally finished its hundredth lap.

"You... are you satisfied now?"

It gasped out.

"Mm." Ji Yuan nodded, then issued another command: "Now fly a hundred laps in the opposite direction."

You tried to seize my body earlier—did you think you'd get off easy today?

If I don't exhaust you half to death before locking you up, my name isn't Ji.

Then Ji Yuan's gaze shifted to Huohuo's small face.

That motion made Tail instantly sense extreme danger.

"Huohuo, get out of here now." Tail roared at Ji Yuan: "You brat, no matter what tricks you've got, I won't let you bully Huohuo."

Before, its tone had always been teasing toward Huohuo, because it knew it could handle things in the end. But now this lolicon had the ability to control a Suiyang, leaving Tail helpless.

Hearing Tail's words, Huohuo snapped out of her earlier state of admiration. Remembering Ji Yuan's lolicon tendencies, she felt a surge of danger and retreated several steps backward.

"Relax, I'm not a lolicon. And I don't have the ability or the nerve to attack a Ten-Lords Commission judge."

Ji Yuan added in clarification.
