I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 124 Legendary Quest: Farewell Cut, Special Trial: Slashing Master (9.5k, monthly ticket requested!)
As soon as Kaga Kiyomitsu was held in Uesugi Tetsu's hand, he began to tremble in dissatisfaction.

It's as if to say: I have already completed my transformation and have been by your side for so long, why did you pick me up only now!

You are a guy who forgets about swords when you see beauty!
——Women will only affect the speed at which you draw your sword!

"OK OK."

Uesugi Tetsu rubbed the cool blade with his fingertips and whispered, "Even if I have a 1% problem, don't you have 99%? Xiaojia, won't you jump from over there into my hands?"

Kaga Kiyomitsu stopped trembling, as if he had not expected that there would be such a shameless master.

It's just a katana, and it's tucked into a scabbard. How can it be moved?

Seeing that he seemed to have appeased Kaga Kiyomitsu, Uesugi Tetsu breathed a sigh of relief. After seeing the huge golden clue in front of him, he understood where the subtle feeling in his heart came from.

[It has been detected that your weapon Kaga Kiyomitsu's Farewell Blade has reached epic level! ]

[The legendary quest "Farewell" has been opened!]

【Legendary Quest: Farewell】

[Completion Condition 1: The quality of Kaga Kiyomitsu's Farewell Blade reaches "Legendary"!]

[Completion Condition 2: Use Kaga Kiyomitsu's Farewell Blade to kill any five-star level demon!]

[——Thousands of years from now, history books will record this: When the first wave arrived, the then-unknown Uesugi Tetsu wielded this blade and killed Yaku Aibieli, marking the beginning of the legend. From then on, this katana had its own unique name, Bieri-Kiri.]

legend.

Uesugi Tetsu tightened his grip on Kaga Kiyomitsu.

He understood where the sudden throbbing came from.

The so-called legendary weapons or props are mostly able to leave their own unique and heavy mark in the long and complicated history, so that people in later generations will occasionally hear of them.

For example, many people have heard of the "Spider Cut" performed by Minamoto no Raikou in the Heian period a thousand years ago, but if it is replaced with "Kneemaru", the number of people who have heard of it will be greatly reduced.

Uesugi Tetsu had a premonition.

When Kaga Kiyomitsu is promoted to the legendary level, it will definitely bring about a qualitative change that will be like a complete transformation.

And it definitely has a very important impact on him.

"Legend..."

Uesugi Tetsu followed Nanjo Aimi and paced quietly, holding it up in front of his eyes in the light coming from the corridor window.

The warm sunlight made the vermilion scabbard and the pale copper blade hilt sparkle.

Uesugi Tetsu feels it is too early to talk about the word legend now.

After all, "epic" and "legend" also contain an equally important quality - super epic.

The nails of the Seven Arrows are of this quality, so they have the magical effect of being able to teleport to the vicinity of a designated target regardless of distance.

Kaga Kiyomitsu upgraded many rare weapons from Uesugi Tetsu to epic weapons, and he had killed countless monsters, including the unique Eight Sufferings such as Love and Separation.

If Aibieli had not been killed, God knows how long it would have taken Kaga Kiyomitsu to be promoted.

"There's still a lot of time to go."

Uesugi Tetsu stroked the hilt of Kaga Kiyomitsu's sword, which fit his palm perfectly, and silently observed Kaga Kiyomitsu's attributes, which had become epic.

【Kaga Kiyomitsu: Blade of Farewell】

[Quality: Epic]

[Effect 1: Thrust Enhancement - Extreme. Using thrust-type sword skills will cause massive additional damage.]

[Effect 2: Zanpakutsu.]

[Effect 3: Slash Enhancement - Extreme. Using slashing sword skills will cause a large amount of additional damage.]

[Effect 4: Blazing.]

[Effect 5: Farewell Blade (unique).]

[Effect Six: Refined to the same. Kaga Kiyomitsu's toughness and hardness are greatly increased, making it extremely difficult to break. At the same time, Kaga Kiyomitsu will become more adaptable to forging.]

[——This is the blade that slays the Eight Bitternesses of Love and Separation. It will surely leave its mark on history in the future.]

Uesugi Tetsu scanned every word on the panel in great detail.

The first and most noticeable change is the suffix of the thrust enhancement and slash enhancement. The word "Extreme" has been added to them to prove that the damage that Kaga Kiyomizu can cause after the slash has been increased again.

In addition to the increase in weapon sharpness caused by the original quality improvement, it can be said that Kaga Kiyomitsu's values have become completely larger.

There is also a new effect called "Refined as One", which unreasonably improves toughness and hardness while ensuring that the sharpness is not affected.

You know, in the common perception, the harder a sword is, the better it can maintain its sharpness - but at the same time, its toughness will also become very poor, causing the weapon to break easily.

Therefore, swords on the battlefield are generally not too sharp or hard, in order to ensure that they are strong and durable, and will not suddenly break in the middle of a fight and leave the opponent with nothing.

But now, with the blessing of the sixth effect of "One Hundred Refinements as One", Kaga Kiyomitsu has completely violated this iron rule, improving the "three-dimensional attributes" at the same time, and truly becoming an extraordinary weapon.

If the current Kaga Kiyomitsu were to fight against the katana in the hands of Juhinaya Yogyoshu, he might even be able to cut the opponent's katana into two pieces.

Uesugi Tetsu smiled, then turned his gaze to the Zanpakutsu, which had a long string of "Notes" appearing on it.

[Effect 2: Zanpaku. When using Kaga Kiyomitsu to kill demons, ghosts, and monsters, Kaga Kiyomitsu's quality will gradually improve.]

[Note: To advance again, you need to slay a large number of demons and monsters. You can find a Tiangong or Tiangong apprentice to reforge Kaga Kiyomitsu's Farewell Blade to enhance the "Zanpaku" effect.]

The word "huge amount" coincides with Uesugi Tetsu's previous thoughts.

But he needs to find Tiangong or Tiangong's apprentice... Uesugi Tetsu has no way to contact the old blacksmith and Zashiki-warashi who have disappeared to who knows where.

He pondered slightly.

If there is no one in Nanjo-san and the Special Affairs Department who has the same methods as "Tian Gong", then maybe I can try to find Katsumi and ask him while buying things.

"You've gotten stronger again, Xiaojia."

Uesugi Tetsu smiled and flicked the other person's knife handle, and the latter trembled again, very dissatisfied with this casual and ordinary title that was the same as that of the kid next door.

Feeling the vibration coming from his palm, Uesugi Tetsu thought:

——Since Kaga Kiyomitsu was upgraded to epic level, its spirituality has indeed improved a lot.

Before, when Kaga Kiyomitsu was only of rare quality, this kind of anthropomorphic behavior was rare.

……

After changing out of his hospital gown into a cheap Special Affairs Office uniform, Uesugi Tetsu followed behind Nanjo Aimi and walked towards the door of the Tsuzuki Ward Special Affairs Office.

Unlike the Arakawa District Special Affairs Office, which has a tall office building with more than 17, 16 or 18 floors, the Tsuzuki District Special Affairs Office headquarters only has a pitiful four floors.

However, considering the empty Special Affairs Office, it is estimated that the office and residential areas on these four floors will not be fully occupied.

"I can't even sense the presence of a shikigami... Why does it feel like this is a community for the elderly?"

Uesugi Che stared at the cafeteria in the distance with two large, glittering words "Special Offer" on it for a while, and smiled politely at the familiar young man standing guard at the door.

That’s right, the young man guarding the door of the Special Affairs Office headquarters was the one Uesugi Tetsu met in the hotel earlier.

——But he didn't expect that even after the first wave had passed, the Special Affairs Department here was still using real people with less than one-star strength to guard the gate.

The gatekeepers at their Arakawa District Special Affairs Office are now staffed by two-and-a-half-star + three-star Shikigami in shifts, ensuring a powerful early warning capability.

I heard that the gatekeepers in Shinjuku or Shibuya need to be at least three stars to be selected, and they are just for show, not the main force for guarding the gate.

All we can say is that the problem of disparity among regions does exist and is very serious.

Uesugi Che nodded to the young man whose face was filled with shock and eyes full of envy, then turned around and sighed slightly.

What Nanjo Aimi has to do now is to try her best to make the supernatural powers in these "remote" areas stronger as soon as possible.

After all, after the wave came, the places where many monsters appeared were unreasonable, and they themselves did not know why they appeared in such a sparsely populated and remote area.

Walking out of the empty Tsuzuki District Special Affairs Office headquarters, Uesugi Tetsu almost immediately saw the monk Huijue, who was wearing a cassock, squatting on the curb at the door, slurping a bucket of instant noodles with a disposable fork.

The young monk Huiming stood beside him, maintaining a slightly stiff smile as he looked at every passerby.

It seemed as if they were afraid that someone would stop and accuse the two of them of bringing disgrace to Honganji.

"Donor Uesugi! How are you?"

When Huijue saw Uesugi Che coming out, he immediately threw the plastic fork into the noodle soup, wiped his mouth, and walked towards him with a big smile.

Uesugi Tetsu raised an eyebrow.

In just two days since I last saw Huijue, he had already updated his "equipment".

The old and patinated Buddhist robes were obviously very old. A skull necklace with a cross in its mouth hung down below the neck, and a pair of crescent-shaped earrings from a street stall were replaced and were shaking slightly.

Wow, this is the integration of the three religions. The difficult problem that countless ancient people have not been able to solve for thousands of years was actually solved by Huijue alone.

Uesugi Che suppressed his laughter and looked at Huijue's half-eaten bucket of Master Kong spicy instant noodles. He nodded slightly at him and gave him a thumbs up.

“Classic style, the master has good taste.”

"Then it seems this instant noodles are really good." Huijue smacked his lips, then pointed at Huiming behind him, "I said this stuff is really delicious and asked Junior Brother to try it, but he said no, ...

Huijue grinned again: "This kid is still too young. When he goes back, he will probably dream about this instant noodles for several days in a row. Then he won't be able to eat it even if he wants to."

Uesugi Che shifted his gaze and saw Huiming with an awkward smile.

"Elder brother——"

The young monk clenched his fists, his face red and warm.

"Donor Uesugi."

Huijue put the instant noodle bucket aside, put away his playful expression, clasped his hands together and lowered his head slightly.

"On behalf of all my fellow disciples and Master, I would like to express my gratitude to you, the benefactor."

Uesugi Tetsu remembered the old monk who had helped him place the memorial tablet, so he asked, "Is the abbot okay?"

Huijue smiled. "Thanks to the donor Shangshan, Master is doing fine. He even had the energy to fly into a rage when he saw me. The three or two elders were almost unable to stop him."

That's only natural.

Considering Huijue's abstract divine attire that combined the three religions, it was considered enlightened of the old masters who were at least in their sixties or seventies not to kill him or expel him from the sect.

Uesugi Che shook his head and did not question Huijue's dressing style and personal aesthetics. After all, he was still in the exploratory stage, so it was normal for him to be a little wild.

"Then Master Huijue, if there is nothing else, I'll have to say goodbye to you someday."

Uesugi Tetsu pointed at Nanjo Aimi, who had just gone to the other side to smoke alone. "I still have things to do. I can't keep my boss waiting for too long."

"Natural, natural."

A faint ray of Buddha's light seemed to flicker behind Huijue, and he said calmly, "Bon voyage, Donor Uesugi."

After saying that, Huijue picked up the instant noodle bucket he had placed on the ground, slurped the noodles, and left with the young monk Huiming, who advised him not to eat as it was cold.

Uesugi Che stared at the prompt in front of him in shock.

[Bon voyage: A sincere blessing from a primordial Daoist. For the next three days, you will literally have a smooth journey in terms of transportation.]

He gazed at Huijue's gradually receding back, and suddenly felt that the future of this era must be extremely exciting.

At the same time, on the rooftop three hundred meters away.

Three blurry figures stood side by side.

"That's the seed of the Arakawa district, Uesugi Tetsu?"

The young man, dressed in black and wrapped in bandages, revealing only a pair of purple eyes, said calmly, "Our opponent in seven days is actually just this kind of scum?"

He teased the crow perched on his left arm with disdain, stroking its glossy feathers. "That yin-yang elementalist called Nanjo Aimi is truly formidable. My intuition tells me she's even more formidable than Master herself."

"The monk next to him named Huijue is not bad either. It shouldn't be a problem for him to beat the three of us to death alone."

Yatou Shigure sighed in disappointment, "But that Uesugi Tetsu seems really not that good. I can't even think of toying with him."

"Well, don't worry, little crow."

Beside him, a blonde woman in a thin evening gown straightened her chest, lifted her hair from her shoulders with her hands and smiled.

"I heard there's a guy and girl named Tokugawa Ririko in Arakawa District who's quite formidable. Their swordsmanship is so advanced that they're on par with the legendary swordsmen."

Chihaya Kuzuba licked her sharp nails with her tongue. "It would be nice if I could have some fun with her."

"Tokugawa?"

A weak voice sounded behind them.

The girl, with her hands in her pockets, wearing a mask, a loose color-blocked sweatshirt on her upper body, and thin and transparent black stockings underneath, raised her eyes covered by dark circles.

"Since her name is Tokugawa, there's no need to be hostile to her."

Xiao Yuelan said softly, "It will bring trouble to Longyuetang and Master."

Chihaya Kuzuba crossed her arms in dissatisfaction: "Ran-chan, you're such a killjoy!"

Xiao Yuelan remained unmoved, not even glancing at Uesugi Tetsu, who was several hundred meters away. "I've killed so many 'geniuses' like this, I can't even count them all."

"If that guy dares to go on stage without knowing his own limitations, then let me finish him off."

Tossing the pale bone dagger that appeared from nowhere, Xiao Yuelan turned around and yawned, "I'm leaving now. I did my digestion exercise too late last night, and I haven't gotten enough sleep yet."

"I thought this would be a rare surprise, but I didn't expect to see only disappointment."

Xiao Yuelan's voice slowly disappeared as she turned into a shadow and floated in the air.

Before Chihaya Kuzuba could finish her words, she opened her mouth and helplessly spread her hands: "Ran-chan seems to underestimate your opponent. This is not good."

"Sister Ge Ye, this is not belittling, this is just stating the facts."

The pitch-black crow spread its wings and soared into the air.

The young man's figure also vanished in an instant, leaving only disdainful boos. "We've been watching him for so long, and he still hasn't noticed us. If he were in a real battle, he would have died dozens of times already."

Soon, Chihaya Kuzuba was the only one left on the rooftop.

She scratched her head, poked back the little snake head that was sticking out from her collar, and stared at the unremarkable boy who didn't even have the spirit of a strong man.

"It seems that what Ran-chan and Little Crow said is true... I don't even bother to kill a target like this."

"To be able to choose such a mediocre person as a first-tier seed, Nanjo Aimi's judgment of people is truly amazing, even though he is so strong."

Geye Chihaya walked downstairs boredly, and when she walked out of the building again, she had completely turned into another person, blending into the crowd and disappearing without a trace.

……

"Nanjo-sister, that's my opponent?"

Uesugi Tetsu was scrolling through the "training progress bar" that Kitano Runa sent him to show off, as well as the selfie of her and Ririko, while leaning against the wall waiting for Minamijo Aimi to finish her cigarette.

"Found?"

Nanjo Aimi looked at him with a hint of surprise.

"I noticed it the first second." Uesugi Tetsu replied with a dumpling emoji (not bad), then said, "After practicing Ririko's two little tricks, the 'divine' of these three people is like high beams at night. Ignoring them is impossible."

He commented: "It hurts my eyes."

Nanjo Aimi exhaled smoke. "They're not weak, they can even be said to be very strong. On paper, they have two two-and-a-half stars and one three-star, and their insidious tactics are outrageous."

"You've only just dealt with the first three-star monster. If you feel you're not strong enough before going into battle..."

"Those three guys are a little bit off."

Uesugi Tetsu put away his phone and shrugged at Nanjo Aimi: "They didn't even notice I was observing them. That's really not good."

"That's good."

Nanjo Aimi nodded.

She had never paid much attention to the three disciples of Longyuetang, because she had seen many similar people and they were mediocre and not worth mentioning.

But Uesugi Tetsu is different.

Flicking the cigarette butt into the sewer cover beside her, Nanjo Aimi walked towards the van that slowly stopped across the street.

Uesugi Tetsu is the only one of his kind.

……

After opening the car door, Uesugi Tetsu found Nyu and Hiyori sitting in the trunk again. However, unlike before, they were not playing the usual game of rock-paper-scissors between children. Instead, they were holding a fruit phone.

The dim light illuminated the faces of the Shikigami, and from time to time, creepy and strange laughter came from their mouths.

"coming!"

After looking up and seeing Uesugi Tetsu walking in, Hiyoriban suddenly reacted. After pressing the screen-off button, he used his head to touch Nyu's face, causing the latter to turn her head several times in fright.

Then he frantically operated several times to show them his phone's desktop, and hesitantly said, "I, I'm not looking at anything weird!"

In just a moment, Nu Nu blushed in silence.

Uesugi Tetsu: “…”

He turned around and glared at Nanjo Aimi, who also expressed her speechlessness with her expression, meaning: "Are you going to leave your shikigami alone?"

Nanjo Ai shook her head. She was too lazy to expose the little thoughts of Nunu and the others.

As someone who has been through this before, she certainly knows exactly what a mobile phone desktop means.

Since she gave the Shikigami private cell phones, allowing them to connect to the Internet and electronic products of this era, it was only a matter of time before they were exposed to similar information.

Nanjo Aimi didn't think there was any need to care.

After all, you won't watch it anymore when you get tired of it. Besides, Nu Nu is already three stars and has very good physical fitness, so it doesn't matter if she relaxes occasionally.

After understanding what Nanjo Aimi meant, Uesugi Tetsu sat back in his seat and looked at the two women who were playing Candy Crush as if nothing had happened, and sighed heavily in his heart.

How come these two Shikigami turned out like this?

Could it be that all of this was secretly taught by Master Erchi?

Uesugi Tetsu decided to interrogate her thoroughly later.

But let’s get down to business first.

"Nanjo-san, I need to get some sleep."

After a squeak, Uesugi Che narrowed his eyes, leaving only an imperceptible gap in front of his eyes.

——Sleep? Of course it’s impossible.

Now he still has a huge sum of 3080 soul ash points in his hand, so of course he will find a chance to catch some fishing masters on the way back.

The two-star Bai Prajna's physique should be able to swim faster than those epic fish with purple light on their bodies, not to mention that the four-tailed fox incarnation can use heavenly thunder to kill a large fish in seconds.

This was also the reason why Uesugi Tetsu didn't call out Nishaku-sama to play with Nyu and the others after he got in the car.

Because later he might need the help of Erchi Lord to catch some green and white fish to eat as a backup.

In the silence, a prompt popped up in front of me.

[Special Salvage: Fishing Master!]

[The second salvage will cost 1000 soul ash points! The cost will be doubled each time thereafter!]

[Number of salvage attempts remaining: 2]

[Note: During this special salvage, the appearance rate of high-quality items has been greatly increased!]

[Do you choose to consume 1000 soul ash points to start the special salvage: Fishing Master? ]

"Yes."

Uesugi Tetsu muttered to himself.

Then the familiar characters popped out.

[Special salvage is about to begin.]

[Before that, please choose your accompanying Shikigami. ]

Uesugi Tetsu still chose "Eight-foot Woman".

In an instant, Uesugi Che's eyes went slightly dark, and to the others in the van, he seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

【Welcome to Special Salvage·Fishing Master! 】

[Here, you need to try your best to catch the fish swimming in the pond within a limited time...]

[At the same time, you must ensure that you are not caught by anglers...]

pat.

Uesugi Che felt that his feet were actually stepping on solid ground, and there seemed to be no water pressure or obstruction of water flow around him.

He opened his eyes.

"here it is?"

The surroundings were blurry, and I could only make out that I seemed to be in a large courtyard, with many figures around me.

But it’s definitely not the fishing master’s pond that I entered before.

what's the situation?
Uesugi Tetsu looked at the "accompanying shikigami" column and found that the portrait of Nishaku-sama was marked with a "forbidden" symbol. He was indeed unable to successfully summon Nishaku-sama.

Fortunately, weapons and props such as Kaga Kiyomitsu can still be taken out.

Uesugi Tetsu wore Kaga Kiyomizu around his waist and maintained the posture of Iaijutsu to be ready to deal with any danger that might arise at any time.

And at this moment, the prompt popped up again.

[The last random era you selected was the late Edo period or the end of the Bakumatsu period.]

【Also, you were already being watched by a key figure in the late Edo and Bakumatsu periods last time——】

【Therefore, Special Salvage and Fishing Master have been changed! 】

These three lines of clues reminded Uesugi Tetsu of the end of the last Fishing Master, when he was fished out by the young man who looked like Okita Souji.

So it's actually true?
Uesugi Che was stunned - doesn't that mean he can travel back to the past through these three chances of being a "fishing master"?
Although there is almost nothing that can be done and nothing that can be affected, the four words "back to the past" themselves are more attractive than anything that comes with them.

"A bit outrageous..."

Uesugi Che murmured, and then saw the last line of prompts that popped up.

[——You are entering the special trial: Slash Master!]

As this line of prompts slowly faded away, the extremely blurry scenery around him gradually began to become clear, and gradually the sound of people talking and talking came into Uesugi Che's ears.

It seemed like a long time had passed, yet it also seemed like only a moment had passed before Uesugi Tetsu suddenly heard someone speak loudly like this.
"The next tester is Uesugi Tetsu!"

He turned his head around in confusion, quickly gathering information about his surroundings.

First, on the stone brick ground not far away, I saw a huge tumbler that was about one meter tall, with red and black paint on its face and a very festive look.

On its head is the same label as ordinary monsters and ghosts: [Zhan Ce Maru].

But the tumbler did not give off any demonic aura. Instead, it just swayed slightly, more like an object or a decoration.

But then, another line of prompts popped up above the three words "Zhan Ce Wan".

[——Please use your full strength to slash "Zance Maru". The better the slashing effect, the more rewards you will receive in the special trial - Slashing Master.]

[Note: In this special trial, all your skill cooldowns have been refreshed, and all your item cooldowns have been refreshed. Also, using any skills in the special trial will not affect reality.]

Oh—so that’s how it works.

and.

Uesugi Tetsu focused his attention on the "note".

This proves that he can use the four-tailed fox's angry eye skill at will without bearing the consequences.

"It's pretty good."

Uesugi Tetsu curled the corners of his mouth - this would also allow him to have a rough estimate of his current combat power in various states.

An ordinary human body, with small props and breathing techniques maxed out, a madly fighting White Prajna, a furious four-tailed fox...

Every increase in attribute value will be reflected differently in reality, so it is impossible to imagine how strong you will be when you really have that terrifying value just by thinking about it.

But soon, there were noisy discussions all around.

"Why doesn't he go up yet?"

"You must be afraid, right?"

"Shh—shut up. Didn't you hear his last name is Uesugi? And the sword he wears at his waist is not ordinary. If you dare to criticize such an adult again, you will lose your head."

Some people kept their mouths shut, but others discussed even more enthusiastically.

"Look at his skinny arms and legs. I'd say he can only chop out 600 guan of force at most."

"600 strings of cash? You're so clueless! He's practiced his breathing technique to the point where his Qi can flow through all four corners of the body. It should be at least 1000 strings of cash!"

This was the site of the Edo region's semiannual "Samurai Examination," so whether commoners or nobles, descendants of samurai or disciples of the dojo, all gathered here.

Not only was he trying to pass the test and become at least a nominal warrior, but he also wanted to see what level his peers in the same region were at.

The first hurdle everyone faces is the "cutting power assessment."

If one wants to pass the test, the minimum standard is to make this black and red Zhan Ce Wan report the value of "500 kan".

Uesugi Tetsu didn't know this.

He looked around and looked away when he saw that everyone around him was obviously dressed in ancient costumes.

——It doesn’t matter, he only knows that he is about to start attacking.

Walking silently to the front of Zhancaomaru, who was almost as tall as himself, Uesugi Tetsu slowly pulled out Kaga Kiyomizu, causing exclamations from the people around him.

"This blade! This blade!"

"What a sharp knife! Brother, I'll give you a hundred taels of gold! Can you give it up?"

Someone once said that Kaga Kiyomitsu was a famous sword.

Uesugi Toru turned a deaf ear.

He stroked the hilt of the knife and gently exhaled hot air.

For this first attack, let’s see how effective the most common attack is without using any breathing techniques.

Raising Kaga Kiyomitsu, Uesugi Tetsu shouted and chopped it down.

The power of Tang bamboo!

Kaga Kiyomitsu, whose range of the Sorrow of Separation was shrunk by a special power, suddenly slashed down and hit the black and red Zancemaru squarely.

Huhu——!
A strong wind whistled, and Zhan Ce Wan instantly fell backwards, uttering a tone that was extremely annoying: "Zan, slashing force - nine hundred and ten kan, yes, say it!"

As soon as this number came out, the crowd around suddenly fell silent.

It's not because it's too high, but because the number is too low.

It has been said before that this young man named "Uesugi Tetsu" is an expert who has practiced breathing techniques to the point of "Qi flowing through the four poles". Such an expert should be able to achieve a force of more than a thousand guan with just one strike of his sword.

Not to mention that the katana in his hand is undoubtedly a famous and precious sword.

The clerk who was in charge of recording the situation glanced at Uesugi Tetsu with a puzzled look, recorded everything truthfully, and then said, "Next..."

"Oh wait."

Uesugi Tetsu raised his hand, somewhat dissatisfied: "No one said that I can only cut once."

The clerk was stunned for a moment: "Well, in theory..."

"That's okay."

Uesugi Tetsu hung the Prajna mask and the four-tailed fox jade token around his waist, and then put on a pair of cold steel arm armor.

Many people were dumbfounded. How rich was this stupid son of a noble family? How could he be dressed in gold and silver even when wielding a knife?

Uesugi Tetsu twisted his neck, and the corona energy in his body began to boil.

There were also young people or adults around who had practiced the breathing method to the point of Qi flowing through the four poles or even higher, and they exclaimed in surprise, it turned out that the young man named Uesugi Tetsu had not used his full strength before.

"Suck--"

Uesugi Tetsu's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he clenched Kaga Kiyomizu tightly, allowing Tang Zhu's power to appear again.

Coronal Breathing Method: Form 5!

But the power created this time is completely different from just now.

brush--

Before most people could see clearly, Kaga Kiyomitsu's blade had already swept across Zancemaru's round body, and then was pulled out by Uesugi Tetsu and dropped to the side.

But the next moment, the black and red Zancemaru did not fall backwards, but instead just sat there and began to report the values in a distorted voice.
"Slash, slash force——three thousand——"

Before it could finish its words, tiny cracks appeared all over the round body of the Zhan Ce Wan, causing it to explode in an instant.

boom!
Under everyone's shocked gaze, the black and red Zhan Ce Wan exploded into pieces on the ground, still emitting hot steam, and its body was still warm.

“Is this the upper limit?”

Uesugi Che frowned slightly. The sword he just struck probably only touched the peak of two and a half stars.

Not to mention that it is far from the angry four-tailed fox, even the normal attack of the White Prajna incarnation with the full berserker effect can do it.

Is this slashing test so stingy?
Shit, no wonder I was allowed to use my skills without any side effects.

Uesugi Tetsu looked at the clerk who was frozen in place and asked unhappily, "Is there a more durable Zancemaru? I haven't used my full strength yet."

"Yes, yes!"

The clerk was startled, then showed his joy undisguisedly - if the leader of the Kanto region appeared in the test he was responsible for, he would have to spend at least an extra year.

The clerk immediately took out a blue mini Zhancewan from a cloth bag engraved with a pentagram and threw it on the broken pieces of the original Zhancewan.

Without even a moment's mourning for Zancemaru's death, it was the blue Zancemaru who immediately rushed to the battlefield!
Instantly, it expanded as if it were exposed to water, and then it shouted in a provocative tone, "Come on—cut me! Let me—laugh at your weak strength!"

The veins on the foreheads of some people around were bulging.

Although the Zansemaru is convenient and practical, I don’t know what was wrong with the Onmyoji who created it, so that all the Zansemaru speak in the same extremely annoying tone.

It was different for Uesugi Tetsu, a scholar who had been influenced by modern culture. He glanced at the blue Zancemaru indifferently and saw a different label on its head.

——[Ashigaru kills Cemaru].

Ashigaru... maybe it means that a samurai who can use this Zansemaru can defeat a large number of Ashigaru by himself.

Without paying attention to the people around him, Uesugi Tetsu transformed himself into White Prajna.

He felt the power in his body further filling up and put Kaga Kiyomitsu back into the scabbard.

In the eyes of the people around him, Uesugi Tetsu just put on the Prajna mask around his waist - although his behavior was a bit strange, it was nothing compared to what was about to happen next.

Inside Bai Prajna's body, the aura of the solar corona began to burn the flesh and blood and unimportant veins, triggering a frenzy effect and enhancing physical attributes.

After closing his eyes and remaining silent for thirty seconds, Uesugi Che suddenly looked up in the silent air.

Iaijutsu·Kui front strike!

The pale blade light leaped up, as if cutting off the large patch of sunlight cast from the sky, causing the surrounding area centered on Uesugi Che to fall into a void of white.

"Cut, cut, force 5,000..."

boom!

"His physical strength is about the same as that of the Ten Hatchling Night Walker. Has it reached the bottom line of three stars?"

Uesugi Tetsu waved to Kaga Kiyomitsu, who was buzzing happily, and thought silently in his heart.

After a brief pause, Uesugi Tetsu turned to the clerk who, even with his hands trembling, vowed to record this terrifying number.

"That's it? Is there a more durable Zancegan? I haven't even used my full strength yet."

“Still coming!?”

The clerk felt a blackout before his eyes, and he thought he would never forget these words in his life.
