Su Qing could only say that this person’s stance was probably more towards humanity and he did not believe in gods or Buddhas, but he was most likely not a supporter of No Name.
There is a very small possibility that he is a supporter of No Name, but he changes his mind faster than turning the pages of a book. After Canary was exiled from the box garden, he instantly felt that Canary had no use value. He wasted Canary's lifespan for hundreds of years and relied on Canary's poet Lingge to help him complete the conclusion of the sovereignty of star particles into the unknown realm.
However, this also means that the sovereignty of the third star particle is not in the hands of Izayoi Sakamaki, just as the sovereignty of Takama-ga-hara is not in the hands of Asuka Kudon.
The reason why Izayoi Sakamaki can have such strength now is not only because of how strong his grace is, but also because he is too compatible with the grace, so that the sovereignty of the third star particle almost fully feeds back to him.
——It was Saigo Homura's turn, and he was summoned to the small garden together with the two young ladies. He was also the owner of the highest level of human grace, and his strength was not much different from the two young ladies.
On the path of the Third Star Particle, in the competition for the perpetual motion machine, Izayoi Sakamaki has some competitors, but it can also be treated as if there are none.
In the path of prestige, in the competition for the legacy of the Takamagahara gods and the Ame-no-Gun Sword, Kuyuan Asuka has some competitors, and each of them has at least three-digit supporters behind them, which is not something Kuyuan Asuka can ignore.
But there was no need to tell Hisamoto Asuka such words that would undermine her self-confidence.
Chapter 17: The Oath
A situation, expressed in different words, often has different effects.
If Su Qing directly said that Jiuyuan Feiniao was too weak and that his compatibility with Lingge was not good enough, then this young lady would definitely be extremely ashamed and angry.
However, if he avoided the main point and ignored the issue of the compatibility of her and Izayoi Sakamaki's spiritual qualities, and only said that the two spiritual qualities were of different natures, he would be able to gain Asuka Kuon's initial favor.
For such a confident person, simply pointing out situations in which she might be ridiculed by others is enough to motivate her to work harder.
Kuon Asuka had a solemn look on her face. When Izayoi Sakamaki told her that someone was coming to teach her how to develop her spiritual power, she was actually skeptical.
She thought from the most basic logical level - not many people would understand the highest level of human grace. Apart from some super powerful bosses, other people's understanding of this spiritual level would generally not exceed that of her, the owner of the spiritual level.
For example, Black Rabbit gave her advice before.
The power of majesty can not only be used to manipulate others, but also to manipulate other gifts - but does this count as helping her develop her spirituality?
Doesn't count.
Whether it is manipulating people or manipulating gifts, if you reach the end, you can develop your spiritual power to an extremely strong level.
This was not advice to help her develop her spiritual energy, but common sense advice to a novice in the sandplay from the perspective of a veteran in the sandplay.
But if it is: You should not develop the ability to manipulate others. The nature of your spiritual nature is closer to the ability to manipulate other graces. The ability to manipulate others is only brought about in the development of your spiritual nature. Training to manipulate other graces is more suitable for the development of your spiritual nature.
This level of advice can help her develop her spirituality.
Black Rabbit's words were simply suggestions.
Black Rabbit did not understand the nature of Wei Guang, and even Jiuyuan Fei Niao knew that he himself did not understand the nature of Wei Guang.
She now knew that Wei Guang had the ability to manipulate others and manipulate favors at the same time.
It is normal for a grace ability to evolve into multiple functions, but there should be a primary and a secondary one. If the primary and the secondary cannot be judged, it can only mean that both are secondary abilities, not the most important and core abilities of the spirit.
Manipulating others, or manipulating favors... Kuyuan Asuka has tried both, and she herself has not figured out which ability is the most core ability of the spirit.
Maybe she was too weak to tell the difference? Or maybe neither of them was the essential ability of the spirit?
Therefore, Kuon Asuka actually didn't really believe what Izayoi Sakamaki said. With her level of spiritual power, it was unlikely that other people could guide her.
Most likely, they are talking about some profound truths, such as in human history, company leaders feeding toxic chicken soup to employees. What they say makes sense, but if you think about it carefully, there is actually no substance at all.
How about some common sense that is useful to both her and Kasukabe Yō?
——As long as he doesn't come up with different strengthening methods for her and Kasukabe Yao Lingge, the meaning of the guidance is almost zero.
The reason why Kuon Asuka came to ask for advice was to give face to Izayoi Sakamaki - after all, Izayoi Sakamaki let her come first.
After the Grace Game not long ago, she and Kasukabe Yō interrogated Black Rabbit about the inside story of their coming to the Little Garden, and they understood some of the parts that only Black Rabbit knew.
This includes knowing the identity of Kasukabe Takaaki.
At that moment, Kuon Asuka probably understood that it was not a coincidence that the three of them were summoned - combined with some of Sakamaki Izayoi's performance, Kuon Asuka believed that Sakamaki Izayoi had guessed it long ago.
Kasukabe Yō and Izayoi Sakamaki are both related to former members of no name.
——But Izayoi Sakamaki kept it to herself.
But anyway, it's impossible that she is the only one who has nothing to do with No Name, right? If it is a random summon within the scope of human history, the possibility of two members related to No Name appearing out of three is infinitely close to zero.
At most, she is not clear yet about the relationship between her and the former members of no name.
But to some extent, Kuon Asuka also felt that "I seem to be excluded from the trio", which is human nature.
After realizing this, Izayoi Sakamaki seemed to be a little concerned. When recommending people who could guide the development of grace, she ranked her first and Kasukabe Yō last.
In order to be worthy of Shizayoi's little thoughts, even though Asuka didn't quite think that Su Qing could really help her develop her favor, she still came.
And she wasn't too sure.
What if? There is always a chance of something happening. Maybe there is a big shot who knows the true nature of her favor and can help her come up with a systematic way to develop her favor?
At this moment, Jiuyuan Feiniao felt that the trip was worthwhile.
The person in front of her, at least when it comes to the difference in spiritual power between her and Izayoi Sakamaki, can really tell the difference, and she has at least some knowledge of the nature of spiritual power.
Jiuyuan Feiniao asked humbly: "Teacher, what method should I use to develop my spiritual power? I have been training in the past few days, but the effect is not obvious."
Keep exercising, keep consuming, and grow a little after your spiritual power is restored.
For developing spirituality, this is equivalent to constantly exercising the body in a life where comprehensive value is being competed.
It's not useless, but it's a detour.
Her combat effectiveness had actually improved quite well, but that was because her spiritual essence was too high, similar to how a prince had trained himself to be strong and healthy.
Being physically strong is a natural plus.
But her approach to training her spirituality was actually extremely inefficient. The correct approach was to find and develop her talented side.
Su Qing shook his head slightly and asked, "What do you think are your advantages over Izayoi Sakamaki?"
Jiuyuan Feiniao frowned slightly.
Su Qing added: "In the small garden, if you can't even say your own strengths, the possibility of winning in the favor game of the same level is zero."
Jiuyuan Feiniao sighed inwardly and could only think about himself.
Personality?
power?
wisdom?
It doesn't seem to be.
Is it the appearance?
Jiuyuan Feiniao looked at Su Qing suspiciously and asked hesitantly, "Courage?"
She is so brave. She just came to the small garden and dared to participate in the gift game without investigating the situation clearly. She also let the opponent set the conditions of the gift game at will.
She received a look from Su Qing as if he was looking at a fool.
Su Qing was silent for a moment, then said earnestly, "Not giving up in the face of difficulties, not being discouraged when being pushed to a dead end, and going all out with a tiny chance, that's called courage... To carelessly participate in the favor game for trivial matters and allow the other party to make conditions is a fool."
Jiuyuan Feiniao coughed dryly and his face turned slightly red.
...It’s not my fault.
But she really couldn't refute it.
The tiger man kidnapped children from other communities and even ate them, which made Jiuyuan Feiniao very angry.
If she had to participate in a game of favors with extremely unfavorable conditions in order to bring that community to justice, she could still object. It concerned human lives and was by no means a trivial matter.
But the problem is-
Under her power, the tiger man confessed the kidnapping himself. The law enforcement agencies of the box garden would definitely be dispatched, so she didn't need to take any action at all.
In contrast, in human history, some enthusiastic people discovered the den of human traffickers and exposed it, and the police were about to surround it...but the enthusiastic people insisted on rushing into the den alone, tied their hands and fought the human traffickers one-on-one.
Moreover, even when there were no hostages, the traffickers sold all the kidnapped children, and the enthusiastic people also knew this.
All I can say is... the heart is good.
After careful thought, Jiuyuan Feiniao had to admit that she was indeed a bit profligate at the beginning.
Moreover, she was fully responsible for that favor game.
She agreed to play the game and set the conditions. Kasukabe Yo and Ren simply did not object.
It’s okay for Yao, after all, Yao has just arrived at the small garden, and it’s really too much for Ren to stop her.
Jiuyuan Asuka argued in his heart.
He sighed and said helplessly: "If you want to attack me, then I admit that you succeeded... For the time being, I really can't find any place stronger than Izayoi Sakamaki."
Su Qing smiled and waved her finger.
"No, you do."
"……real?"
"Resume." Su Qing asked, "Before coming to the Box Garden, have you ever used your abilities to manipulate others? Have you ever caused irreversible harm to others' lives?"
Jiuyuan Feiniao raised an eyebrow and said, "How is that possible... But I have used my might quite often."
"That's it." Su Qing said, "Izayoi Sakamaki's power is stronger than yours... His power can easily destroy the planet he is on. He has suppressed his power since he was a child, which has given him a very high degree of control over his power."
"What about you?" Su Qing asked back, "You clearly have the ability to control people's hearts at will, but you have never abused this ability in human history... What do you think you can gain from this?"
Jiuyuan Feiniao blinked in confusion and asked doubtfully, "Has your mind been tempered?"
Su Qing: "..."
What is the gain from simply tempering your inner self?
Su Qing took a deep breath and sighed, "Resume, resume, I have already made it so clear... It's a vow."
"Have you heard of Celtic mythology? Have you heard of Cuchulainn? By setting limits on one's words and deeds, one gains power."
"The power of Wei Guang is reflected here. Wei Guang is too versatile. It can directly interfere with other people's spiritual power and other favors. It is like a fish in water in the box garden. This also means that your 'power' in the box garden is astonishingly great."
