“The Tiger Talisman?!”
When Su Tang heard that answer, he did not know whether he should feel disappointed or relieved.
If the Talisman was not that powerful, then correspondingly, it should be easier to obtain, right…
But…
Sigh.
Why did it have to be the Tiger Talisman?
Su Tang had previously thought about which Talisman he might obtain first.
According to his hopes, the best would be the Dog, which would let him become immortal in this crisis-ridden world.
Of course, the others would work too.
The Horse’s healing, the Ox’s strength, the Rabbit’s speed… any of them would greatly improve his strength and survivability.
If there was really no other choice, he could even accept the Pig’s laser eyes.
At the very least, they could catch people off guard.
But what use was the Tiger Talisman?
Su Tang’s deepest impression of it was two Jackie Chans.
He could not exactly split himself and create two Su Tangs, could he?
“What?
Kid, you sound disappointed.”
Shendu’s voice drifted over.
“You know what the Tiger Talisman does?”
“I once saw it in some ancient documents.
Wasn’t it something like splitting good and evil?” Su Tang replied.
Of course, he could not say he had watched Jackie Chan Adventures.
In any case, there were plenty of ancient documents.
Who knew which one he had read?
“Heh.
I have been sealed away for so many years, and now just anyone can write books.”
Shendu mocked flatly.
Then, as if thinking of something, he paused for a second before saying, “The separation of good and evil is merely one expression of the Tiger Talisman’s power.
What it truly represents is the power of balance within me.”
“The power of balance?”
Su Tang left the alley and walked in the direction indicated by the four dragon heads.
Now that Shendu mentioned it, he vaguely remembered that this did indeed seem to be the setting.
“Mm.
It can balance the various powers within my body, balance a living being’s flesh, vital energy, and soul, and balance the yin and yang qi within the body… It can be said that its function is crucial.”
“I’ve learned something.”
Su Tang held the locator and walked around.
Judging by the detection range of this miniature version, the Talisman had to be somewhere nearby, within a radius of one thousand meters.
After forming his contract with Shendu, even when he did not actively use his abilities, his body had still undergone a series of enhancements.
Otherwise, there was no way he could have instantly killed the Leg Devil that had eaten a Gun flesh fragment yesterday with just an electric sword.
Although it had only eaten 0.02 kilograms.
With his current physical ability, if he ran at full speed without relying on power enhancement, he could cover one thousand meters in just over a minute.
However, since he needed to constantly adjust his direction while searching for the Talisman, he could only slow down.
In the meantime, he listened to Shendu’s advice.
“Kid, it seems you still don’t understand.
The twelve Talismans are products of my own divine power being sealed and stripped away.
Not a single one of them is weak.”
“Think carefully.
In last night’s battle, you used both fire qi and the power of the Shadowkhan.
But could you control both at the same time?”
Because this involved himself, Su Tang listened especially carefully.
He recalled it for a moment and realized that was indeed the case.
When he used fire qi, he could not independently control the Shadowkhan.
He could only let them act freely according to commands he had set in advance.
And when he controlled the Shadowkhan, he could not control fire qi.
For example, when he had the Shadowkhan act as a cushion to catch Denjiko last night, he did not use fire qi to harass the Zombie Devil.
Between the two abilities, there seemed to be a heavy sense of stagnation.
Although he could rely on skillful micro-control to compress the transition time between them to a minimum, he still could not use them simultaneously.
“Heh.
It seems you remembered.”
Shendu’s tone was the same as ever.
“The abilities you inherited from me are not limited to those two.
If you obtain the Tiger Talisman, you will be able to control them simultaneously.
Moreover, using them will become as natural as moving your own arms and fingers, and your understanding of your abilities will deepen by another layer.”
“Additionally, you… Devil Hunters, was it?
You seem capable of contracting with more than one Devil.
Although you probably will not contract with other Devils in the future, if you truly form a second contract, the Tiger Talisman will prevent the two abilities from conflicting.”
The corner of Su Tang’s mouth twitched.
Forget everyone else, but how could even you call me a Devil Hunter?
You watched me build my clinic step by step!
Forget it.
So tired.
Let the world end.
Letting out a breath, Su Tang said, “Thank you for your guidance, Lord Shendu.
But it seems I won’t be using the second function.
Contracting with other Devils would only distract me from searching for the Talismans.”
Whether Shendu believed him or not, when it was time to show loyalty, he still had to do it.
It cost nothing, just one sentence.
However, Su Tang did not receive a reply from Shendu.
That was fine too.
Holding the Talisman Locator, Su Tang raised his head and looked at the street signs.
At this moment, he had arrived at a food street in the city center.
He had circled around earlier and discovered that, according to the red light’s guidance, the Talisman was inside.
Right now, the place was packed with people and noise.
It seemed some kind of event was being held.
Su Tang frowned, continuously weaving through the crowd, and finally arrived in front of a cooked-food shop that seemed to have just opened.
A red banner hung in front of the entrance, with several large characters written across it in flamboyant strokes.
Big Eater Challenge Now Open!
Big Eater?
Su Tang’s heart skipped a beat.
This scene, overflowing with déjà vu, instantly reminded him of the Tiger Talisman’s appearance in the cartoon.
It had also seemed to be some kind of eating contest.
He lowered his head and glanced at the four-directional dragon heads in his hand.
The red light was clearly flashing toward the mountainous piles of cooked food.
This was troublesome.
Looking back at the tourists behind him with their excited gazes, Su Tang stepped forward, preparing to find the owner.
At that moment, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.
“Hahahahaha!
A cooked-meat big-eater contest!
This great me came to the right place!”
Power?
Why was she here?
Su Tang cast a puzzled look in that direction.
As if sensing something, Himeno, with green hair and emerald eyes, also turned her head at the same time.
Their eyes met.
“Oh, you’re… Mr.
Su Tang, right?
Why are you here?”
Himeno walked over, wearing a relaxed smile.
Su Tang had no idea how she had recognized him.
They had clearly never been formally introduced.
If this were any other time, he might have behaved like a gentleman and exchanged a few polite words, but right now, he only wanted to find the owner as quickly as possible.
“Hello.
I have urgent business right now.
Let’s talk later.”
After saying that, Su Tang moved around her and tried to leave.
Himeno suddenly blocked his path.
Her single visible eye carried an inexplicable smile.
“Please forgive me.
I’ll only take one sentence of your time, Mr.
Su Tang.
Hmm… I wonder whether Mr.
Su Tang would be interested in switching rooms with me?”
“Switching rooms?”
Su Tang froze.
“Yes.
For the next two days, Mr.
Su Tang would stay at my place, while I would take Mr.
Su Tang’s place and live together with Aki…”
Ah, this.
Was she Aki Hayakawa’s secret admirer?
But this did not seem like a secret crush.
She was already talking about living together…
Su Tang felt a little confused, but he did not want to get too involved in someone else’s private life.
On top of that, he was in a hurry right now, so he directly nodded and agreed.
Going around Himeno, he walked toward the owner.
There was absolutely no way he was joining a big-eater contest.
Because he had a far more efficient method.
Money Power!
