American Exorcism Male God

Only 4 percent to go before acquiring the Scholar Entry!

Xu Yi took a small sip of tea to rest for a moment.

Looking out from the rustic Roman window, his gaze fell upon the magnificent tulip flower beds of Dandong Park, where the tulips bloomed splendidly. If he looked far enough, he could make out a corner of St. Anna\'s High School.

This room, with its excellent view, had been carefully selected for Xu Yi by Ailent.

As a former real estate agent, Ailent made good use of his skills.

Having grown accustomed to the cramped houses of Chinatown, Xu Yi was somewhat "reluctant to think of Shu" now that he had moved to such a nice place; he didn\'t want to move back at all.

"It\'s hard to transition from luxury to frugality," sighed Xu Yi.

When it comes time to buy a villa, the surrounding scenery must also pass muster! Xu Yi suddenly thought.

But now is not a good time to buy a house. Not to mention the lack of money, even if he had the money, it should be spent near the university.

Even if he bought it now, he wouldn\'t live in it for long.

These past few days, he had basically stayed in this room, closed off from the world, practicing intensely to brush up on his Scholar Entries.

Gaining experience for the Scholar Entry was straightforward, but as the levels progressed, it required more and more painstaking effort, not like the Psychic Entry, which could surge with experience if the right opportunity arose.

Each of these two types of entries had its advantages and disadvantages.

The door to the study was gently knocked, Xu Yi called out without turning his head, "Come in! I\'m resting."

There were few who knew he was here, and even fewer who had the key to the door. He couldn\'t be bothered to open it himself.

As soon as the doorknob turned, Lisa\'s voice came from outside.

"Xu Yi, lucky you took the day off, otherwise you\'d definitely be stuck at school. Your exorcist revelation has already spread through the school," Lisa said as she pushed the door open.

"That\'s what you call foresight!" Xu Yi took a sip of his floral tea to calm his nerves.

In order to avoid harassment and focus on his entries, Xu Yi simply decided to take leave and retreat.

Xu Yi put down his teacup and turned to look at Lisa, pausing for a moment and then scrutinizing her from head to toe.

"Does this outfit look strange on me?" Lisa, feeling a bit embarrassed by Xu Yi\'s gaze, fidgeted with her sleeve.

"Not strange at all, it looks good!" Xu Yi sincerely complimented her.

Lisa was wearing a witch\'s attire, but not the traditional kind. It was more form-fitting, with decorative patterns added to the hem and collar, and the purple and pink patterns looked both mystical and vibrant.

On her head was a delicate witch\'s hat that made Lisa\'s petite face appear even more refined.

"How did you get this outfit?" asked Xu Yi, curious.

"Uncle Ailent got it for me. He said my face looked too youthful and he was afraid employers would look down on me, which would disgrace our Holy Flame Studio. So he had this outfit custom-made for me," Lisa explained.

With Xu Yi preparing for college entrance exams, Ailent didn\'t want the exorcism broker work to come to a standstill, so he turned to Lisa.

With her parents as witnesses, Lisa had formally signed a contract and joined the Holy Flame Studio.

The contract was naturally quite flexible, considering she was one of their own.

These past few days, Ailent had been running hither and thither and, unexpectedly, he received a commission.

Although Lisa had only grasped a little witchcraft power, she was officially stepping into the ranks of exorcists and could take on some minor cases.

Of course, she couldn\'t handle anything too dangerous. For this reason, Ailent meticulously visited and inquired carefully, and eventually determined that the employer had probably had an accidental encounter with a Ferocious Spirit, leading to demonic possession and sickness.

Such minor issues could be resolved simply with a burst of witchcraft power.

"Xu Yi, we made ten thousand bucks! Two tenths of it will go to Holy Flame Studio\'s operating funds, and the rest is mine, but I feel like it\'s too much. How about we give it all to the studio, and I just take a few hundred?"

Lisa\'s face was alight with excitement; it was the first time she discovered earning money could be so simple, requiring hardly any effort at all.

"Little rich girl, keep the money for yourself! We are a legitimate studio, we never take more than what belongs to our employees!" Xu Yi replied with finality.

"?" Allen, who was eavesdropping outside the door, slowly typed out a question mark. Am I not considered a formal employee of the studio?

Unexpectedly, the first income for Holy Flame Studio had actually been earned by Lisa.

Xu Yi had performed two exorcisms, but hadn\'t made a penny, which was truly a bit embarrassing.

"Is Allen outside the door? Let him in, I have something to ask him," Xu Yi quickly changed the subject.

"What\'s up?" Allen had been outside all this time.

"It\'s nothing major, just the tailor who made clothes for Lisa, you have his contact, right? Give it to me," Xu Yi whispered.

"Xu Yi, are you also going to have clothes made? Like the ones I have?" Lisa asked curiously.

Xu Yi glanced at Lisa sheepishly, "Sort of!"

It was rare to come across a tailor with such impeccable taste; he simply had to make his acquaintance. Indeed, he wanted clothes, but not for himself.

JK uniforms, Lolita, character cosplay—what would these look like on Lisa and Maria?

Ah, can\'t think about it! Must not think about it!

If he dwelled on it any longer, his secluded cultivation would fail, and what if he fell into demonic possession then?

...

Two days quietly passed, and on this deep night, Xu Yi sat at his desk, engrossed, the lamp light illuminating his profile.

He flipped through books with one hand, and made calculations on a piece of rough paper with the other.

As he put down the final stroke, the calculation was complete. Xu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as relaxed as if he had just crossed the finish line of a marathon.

[Scholar Entry Experience +1, Current Progress: 100/100.]

Xu Yi\'s body trembled, as his mind became clearer than ever before. Knowledge that was hidden in the corners of his memory, on the brink of being forgotten, was now unearthed.

This disorganized knowledge automatically formed into a logically structured framework.

Not just memory, but cognitive ability, memorization skills, spatial imagination—all learning-related abilities had been enhanced.

He felt as though he had transformed from an average Joe into a scholar who could perceive the essence of all things.

Xu Yi involuntarily closed his eyes, and after an indeterminate amount of time, he slowly opened them, his eyes shimmering with light.

"This isn\'t just a Common White Entry; it\'s practically worthy of being called an Epic Entry!" Xu Yi exhaled a breath of stale air.

At this moment, he had officially ascended to the peak student realm!

Heaven without me, Xu Yi, meant the path of the scholar would have been as eternal as a long night.

The Scholar Entry was merely of Common White Quality, but he believed it rivaled those of Epic Quality White Entries due to its cumulative effects.

Although the subsequent enhancements weren\'t as strong as the first one, as long as he persisted in accumulating Scholar Entries, his mental power would continue to increase.

Xu Yi efficiently activated the Scholar Entry.

[You have triggered a chain quest: "Brainpower Universe"! Once Scholar Entry (Full Value) is stacked three times, you will acquire the ability "Super Brain Calculation".]

[Current Quest Progress: 1/3.]

Xu Yi had made up his mind to grind Scholar Entries until the end of time.

Live to old age, learn to old age; nobody can stop my pursuit of knowledge!
