American Exorcism Male God-Chapter 269 Setting Sail

"The trial by sword journey" was still ongoing. Fueled by the uplifting start with Ailan, Xu Yi was in high spirits, but his face soon darkened more and more.

"Old man, give it some effort! At least hold on for three seconds!"

"Carlyle, can you show the same dedication you have when studying Japanese late at night? You’re giving up after just three tries?"

"Cass, you don’t need to try anymore, you’ve already passed!"

Xu Yi grew increasingly irritable, his face etched with the phrase "to hate iron for not becoming steel."

He had crafted the "Alchemical Weapon: Seven Deadly Sins," aiming for it to be a Mythic Level Exorcism Holy Relic.

Even if it didn’t reach that level fresh out of its creation, with continuous growth through absorption, it would certainly reach and even surpass that level.

What chance does an ordinary exorcist have to obtain a Mythic Level Exorcism Holy Relic?

Even acquiring the most common Exorcism Holy Relic is a tough call.

Missing this opportunity, it would probably be very difficult to come by another one.

And most importantly, the Sin Remains were bound to specific individuals; other than Xu Yi, only they themselves could use them.

"Next... Anna, why don’t you give it a try?" Xu Yi asked, subconsciously softening his tone.

Anna instantly became nervous, her palms sweating profusely.

William stood by her side, his heart hanging in the balance, quietly cheering his sister on.

He knew his sister had feelings for Xu Yi, even to the point of being lovesick. When Xu Yi called him to Boston, he mustered the courage to pitch the idea, hoping to secure an opportunity for his sister.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yi agreed promptly and decisively.

Xu Yi looked at Anna in front of him, feeling somewhat conflicted.

Ask men what style of girl they like, and some will say cute, others will say mature, and those with more unique tastes might even prefer a tomboyish style.

But in the end, you’ll find they actually just like anyone who is beautiful.

Xu Yi did have a bit of a soft spot for Anna, which was why he had agreed to let her come over and give her a chance.

Of course, the main reason was, her Favorability had reached the rare point of 98, almost catching up to Maria and Lisa’s.

"Ah, this damn irresistible charm that has nowhere to be released!" Xu Yi sighed inwardly.

Anna was very eager to pull out the Sin Remains, but reality does not shift with personal will; Anna simply did not possess the Heart of Gold, nor did she have the conditions to make the Sin Remains accept her.

So, as you would expect, she failed.

The light faded from Anna’s eyes, and those beautiful eyes lost their usual vivacity.

"If you’re willing, you can become my secretary and help me manage my daily affairs." At that moment, Xu Yi spoke slowly.

"Really?" Anna’s head shot up, her eyes instantly brightening.

"If you’re willing, then sign your name on this." Xu Yi took out a parchment scroll, which was the rarely used "Bond Contract."

This had been his plan all along. He had only discovered after becoming a titled exorcist that this "position" could be quite troublesome at times.

Since becoming a titled exorcist, visitors increased by the day, mostly comprising high-level individuals from various major cities and nations, and Xu Yi found it difficult to refuse them.

It wasn’t because of their special status; in his eyes, the difference between those dignitaries and common folk was… non-existent.

This was the confidence of someone from "the pinnacle of humanity’s supernaturals."

Xu Yi had roughly figured out the hierarchy represented by the Entries; "Golden Entries" belonged to the gods’ Domain.

Although Jason’s combat prowess was somewhat poor, there was no doubt that abilities such as "Undead" and "Infinite Evolution" unequivocally belonged to the powers of a True God.

As for minor Evil Gods like Ratma, at best they could be considered "False Gods," and the gap between False Gods and True Gods was even greater than the gap between a common person and a False God.

So the "Pale Gold" rank of the Blood Throne was basically the peak of humanity.

Yet Xu Yi felt no sense of security. There’s a saying that rings true: the more you know, the more you revere.

He had just touched the very tip of the iceberg beneath the surface of the sea.

The reason Xu Yi entertained those dignitaries was straightforward; they came bearing gifts, such as rare meteorites, lost tomes of Mysticism...

The most absurd part was that they didn’t have any specific requests; they simply wanted to make a good impression on him.

Who could refuse that? Who wouldn’t be bewildered?

That’s why he needed a secretary to receive them.

Lisa and Maria simply had no time for it, and having them deal with such affairs was surely a case of underutilizing their talents.

Carlyle was very willing to do the job, but as the "Second Ryan," how could Xu Yi allow her to settle for that?

Although Ailent would have been suitable for the job, he was somehow lacking, after all, a male secretary could never carry the weight of a "confidante."

Those high-ranking officials might not be able to meet Xu Yi in person, but a little investigation would reveal the relationship between Anna and her.

Thus, the officials would willingly present their gifts, for who doesn’t understand the power of influence from one’s bedside?

And Xu Yi could rest easy and focus on building his strength!

"In the future, I can make Anna my spokesperson to handle affairs with commoners," Xu Yi thought to himself.

Anna, without a moment’s hesitation, decisively signed her name on the parchment scroll.

"Cass, would you like to sign a devil’s contract too?" Xu Yi looked towards Cass.

Cass’s Loyalty Value had unexpectedly reached 91, which Xu Yi had not anticipated.

"Mr. Xu Yi, I would be most willing to become your demon disciple!" Cass, too, did not hesitate, taking the contract and signing his name immediately.

Good! This young man has truly paved his way forward!

Only Lisa and William remained in the group who hadn’t attempted the trial yet.

Lisa stepped forward and took the Sin Remains of "Sloth," and the "Heart of Gold" appeared on Lisa’s chest, but Xu Yi sighed in disappointment.

Because the Heart of Gold was simply too dim, like a candle flame that was about to extinguish.

He had observed that the Heart of Gold was not very rare; among ten thousand people, there would be one who possessed it, which was already a quite significant ratio.

But most were like Lisa’s—dim Hearts of Gold, with virtually no chance of gaining the recognition of Sin Remains.

"How is the industrial transfer coming along?" Xu Yi inquired of William, who was by his side.

Under William’s management, Bastet Pharmaceutical Company was thriving, showing signs of becoming the leader in New York’s pharmaceutical industry.

Xu Yi’s focus in the future would definitely be in Boston, as it had some of the richest scientific research resources in the world.

As a loyal follower of Xu Yi, William naturally had to move there too.

"Nearly half done!" William answered truthfully.

"Speed it up! You’ll be busy soon," Xu Yi instructed.

When Xu Yi started his company, it wasn’t just to become a leading industry in the mortal world; he intended to draw upon the trends of the supernatural realm.

He had a premonition that the resources required to achieve "True God" status would be tremendously immense, and the company would become his tool for harvesting resources.

Therefore, he had to plan ahead.

While Xu Yi and William were chatting, Lisa had already finished her "Trial."

Xu Yi was about to comfort Lisa and tell her not to be discouraged when suddenly, he sharply raised his head, staring at the Sin Remains of "Sloth" in Lisa’s hand.

Lisa was waving the Sloth Sin Remains, seemingly feeling if it was a good fit.

She passed the trial just like that? Xu Yi was somewhat astonished.

Although he was speaking with William, most of his attention was on Lisa. Only in the beginning did she frown slightly when she first grasped the Sloth Sin Remains; then nothing else happened.

In Lisa’s hands, the Sloth Sin Remains were as docile as a little kitten.

Surely, this degree of compatibility was too high?

Xu Yi quickly understood the reason.

He initially thought that only Maria had passed the test but was pleasantly surprised that Lisa had as well. Xu Yi was in high spirits, feeling that he could already celebrate with champagne tonight.

"The last one, it’s your turn, William!" Xu Yi urged.

William approached the metal box and grasped the "Greed" Sin Remains without any hesitation.

If one had a high compatibility with certain Sin Remains, they could feel it as soon as they got close, though it could also be a random selection, like Ailent’s.

The Greed Sin Remains trembled, and a dazzling Heart of Gold appeared. William endured the pain for a moment, and greed settled to calmness.

William’s Heart of Gold wasn’t as bright as Ailan’s, and his compatibility wasn’t as high as Lisa’s, but it was a perfectly balanced middle value.

Xu Yi felt that tonight’s celebration wouldn’t be just popping champagne but could escalate to a raucous pool party!

Having three people pass the test, along with Cass previously, meant that four of the Seven Deadly Sins had confirmed proxy hosts.

Xu Yi and William signed a Bond Contract, bestowing the Entries "Beastly Body" upon each other.

This Green Item, borrowed from the Chainsaw Killer Leatherface, had been in Xu Yi’s "pocket" for a long time, with no suitable occasion to give it away—now was the perfect time for that.

Xu Yi looked around at everyone, his eyes filled with fervor.

These people were the crew for his upcoming "voyage." As for whether they could navigate the "Sea of True God," everything remained unknown.
