Chapter 603: Chapter 534: Methods to Upgrade the Base Chapter 603: Chapter 534: Methods to Upgrade the Base “Your eyes?”

Aoki Kazuo felt himself involuntarily captivated by the luster flickering in Roger’s eyes, but soon he realized something was amiss.

“No, the energy emanating from you…”

Aoki Kazuo glanced back at Higurashi Chika.

“Spiritual Power is surging, he’s trying to convene a Guardian Spirit!”

“Is convening a Guardian Spirit such a casual matter?”

Aoki Kazuo’s eyes widened in surprise.

“Wasn’t he just lying there sleeping?”

“Is this a special advancement method of the Autumn Water Fraction?”

Aoki Kazuo hadn’t noticed, but standing beside him, Higurashi Chika was even more astonished; insiders knew their own matters, and due to her father’s departure, the critical advancement methods of the Autumn Water Fraction’s lineage had not been passed down.

But the situation before their eyes…

Higurashi Chika took a step forward, noticing some peculiar changes happening to Roger’s face, as if something was trying to break free of its bonds and burst forth.

“Roger…”

“I’m fine.” Roger didn’t open his mouth, but his voice reached both of their ears.

“Don’t mind me, carry on.”

“What are you doing? The Secret Manual I handed to you didn’t include…”

Higurashi Chika looked anxious.

She had also attempted to forcibly convene a Guardian Spirit, but she had been fortunate to only suffer severe injuries, resting for a full two months before regaining her vitality.

However, Higurashi Chika quickly realized another issue.

“How much time has passed?”

Her mind was a blur, and the speculations regarding Roger could not explain the situation before her eyes.

Although Aoki Kazuo was surprised, he didn’t know the details of Roger’s background and thought that Roger had been studying the Autumn Water Swordsmanship for a considerable period.

He put his hands together in prayer, and as he separated them, a cyan light engulfed the surroundings.

[Tranquility and Clarity]

The air was filled with indistinguishable whispers, and being immersed in it cleansed one’s soul.

Higurashi Chika was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, not knowing what she should do next. Convening a Guardian Spirit is a very personal process, and outsiders can hardly help.

But just letting Roger proceed with his advancement, it was predictable that without the proper lineage methods, he would pay a price for his failure.

With that thought, she grew impatient, caring not for anything else, her Spiritual Power whirled as she stepped forward and pressed her forehead to Roger’s brow.

With their foreheads and noses touching, angles permitting Higurashi Chika to still speak, she could distinctly feel the breath Roger was exhaling.

Roger’s heart skipped a beat, almost causing the Cat Form within him to collapse, as he stared wide-eyed into the girl’s pupils.

“What are you doing?”

“Don’t talk!”

Higurashi Chika’s eyes filled with resolve, “It’s my fault, if I hadn’t given those books to you…”

“Your condition is very dangerous right now, listen to me. Because we both practice Autumn Water Swordsmanship, the energy we channel has similarities, soon I’ll try to connect the vortex of Spiritual Power within you.”

“If… if you can’t hold on, actively channel that force into my body, let me bear the burden with you!”

Higurashi Chika stated decisively.

Making this decision meant that she could very likely sustain very serious injuries.

Last time, she blindly pursued advancement on her own, but generally, the power originated from within, and the danger was controllable.

But this time, the external force pouring into the spiritual energy vortex could inflict damage far greater than before on Higurashi Chika.

“Uh…”

Roger was mildly startled, leaning his body back, moving his head away.

“What are you doing?”

“We don’t have much time left!”

Higurashi Chika almost subconsciously reached out to grab Roger’s shoulder.

But the next second, she failed to grasp anything in her urgent attempt.

Roger smiled and shook his head.

“No need for such trouble.”

“It’s already over.”

“Over what?” Higurashi Chika was utterly confused.

But she quickly saw Roger, who had been sitting on the ground, slowly stand up.

As Roger moved, the ambient Spiritual Power began to stir, forming a pitch-black vortex at his chest.

At its core was darkness.

Next, a voice, lazy yet incredibly proud, emerged from it.

Higurashi Chika first saw a pair of bright yellow vertical pupils.

The pupils shimmered with an intimidating glow.

What followed was a sharply contoured head.

It was the head of a cat.

But unlike the Guardian Spirit she had once seen with her father, the cat that emerged from the vortex at Roger’s chest seemed to be made of steel.

The cat’s laziness and the metal’s coldness were perfectly merged, and Higurashi Chika couldn’t help but gasp.

Although the Guardian Spirits of the same faction can differ due to the personal insights of the practitioners…

A Nekomata is a Nekomata.

This was something that could never change.

“This… what is this?”

The Guardian Spirit that appeared before her now was both familiar and strange.

The Guardian Spirit lazily protruded its head from Roger’s chest, then indifferently glanced at Higurashi Chika and Aoki Kazuo.

Subsequently, the Spiritual Power subsided, and the spectral form of the Guardian Spirit vanished into thin air.

“As you can see.”

“This is my Guardian Spirit.”

Roger quirked a corner of his lip, “In fact, if it weren’t for some people’s disturbance, the entire process would have been faster.”

“What you just…?”

“Uh… and then…” Aoki Kazuo gestured with his hands, his words becoming incoherent, although he was well aware of the process of convening a Guardian Spirit.
