I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 141 Four-tailed Fox, Two Stars! The Evil Guest Attacks! (8.1k, monthly vote requested!)
Uesugi Tetsu's body immediately shook.

The card pool is alive?

Why did the black-haired loli Hyakumeki in the card pool throne move on her own?

And I don’t know if it was an illusion, but the black-haired loli seemed to look at me before kicking down the Five Thunder Pearl.

【——Would you like to purchase the "Five Thunder Pearls"?】

Uesugi Che pretended to stare at the prompt for a long time, but in fact he was observing the black-haired loli with his peripheral vision and did not find anything unusual.

After kicking down the Five Thunder Pearls, the black-haired loli sat back on the throne, fiddling with her fingers boredly, looking like an NPC waiting for him to trigger the next step.

Uesugi Che pondered for a moment, really focusing on this sudden purchase prompt, and then saw the second prompt pop up.

[Note: You need to pay an equivalent price approved by the "Hundred Eyes Demon" to purchase the "Five Thunder Pearls."]

The prompt appeared for a while and then disappeared, replaced by an empty black grid next to the card pool page - very similar to the grid in the storage backpack.

"Oh my god, the demon in the card pool has turned into a businessman."

Uesugi Tetsu suspected that he had done something unknowingly, which suddenly triggered the hidden mechanism of the card pool and caused this scene to appear.

He opened his storage backpack and was surprised to find that the soul ashes were also displayed in it, and marked as "Soul Ashes×1280".

Other weapons, props, and equipment also emitted a faint glow, indicating that they could be placed into the grids in the card pool.

He thought about it and decided to take out 100 portions of hard currency soul ashes and put them into the grid.

And at the moment when Uesugi Che placed the soul ash into the grid, the black-haired loli who was sitting with her legs crossed raised her eyes lazily, and then sneered disdainfully.

[The Hundred Eyes Demon is not interested in the item "Soul Ashes x 100" you placed.]

It's just a mere shadow of the card pool, but his vision is surprisingly high.

Uesugi Tetsu used his mind to remove the soul ashes, and then tried three different amounts of soul-resting incense ash - micro, small, and large.

As for the "Soul-soothing Incense Ashes (Medium)", he had used it up when he upgraded White Prajna to two and a half stars, and now he has no stock.

Not bad though.

Because the black-haired loli was not interested in any of the three types of soul-soothing incense ashes, a prompt exactly the same as the previous soul ashes popped up.

"In that case..."

Uesugi Tetsu tried to put the soul-soothing incense candles of "rare+" quality into the grid.

This time, the familiar prompt did not pop up.

The black-haired loli blinked, put down her legs, straightened up and seemed to be looking at the requiem incense carefully.

After a moment, she nodded calmly and raised her fingertips slightly.

[The Hundred Eyes Demon is slightly interested in the item you placed, the "Soul-Restoring Incense Candle."]

[Hyakumeki has sent you a trade request.]

Uesugi Tetsu waited for a while, and then saw a transaction request that was so cruel that it was outrageous.

[You need to pay "Soul-Restoring Incense Candle x 5" to purchase "Five Thunder Pearls".]

He looked at the "×5" following behind him and almost laughed out of anger.

It takes five soul-soothing incense candles of the same quality to exchange for a Five Thunder Bead, right? As for the Black Heart Card Pool and the Black Heart Incarnation, why not just go straight to his storage backpack and grab them? Why go around in circles like this?

"But then again." Uesugi Che returned the incense and candles, thankful that no one had forced a sale or stolen them. "The hint said from the beginning that the value of the traded item must be approved by the other party."

Therefore, what the black-haired loli, also known as Hyakumeki, wants should be very clear.

He looked at the scarlet eyes in the storage backpack.

——“The single eye of the Hundred-Eyed Demon”.

Uesugi Tetsu moved his eyes to the transaction box and soon saw the black-haired loli showing an undisguised smile of joy.

[Hyakumeki is very interested in the item you placed, "Hyakumeki's Single Eye."]

She narrowed her eyes slightly, and the pupils on the throne narrowed into a slit.

Immediately afterwards, the second prompt popped up.

[You need to pay "One Eye of the Hundred Eyes" x 3 to purchase the "Five Thunder Pearls."]

Uesugi Che glanced at the remaining Hundred-Eyed Demon Eyeballs in his backpack. Including the one he drew at the beginning, there were exactly three.

Damn, can the black-haired loli in the card pool see what’s in my backpack?

This is so damn accurate.

However, if you can exchange three high-quality eyeballs for a Five Thunder Pearl of "Rare+" quality, the deal is still very worthwhile.

As Uesugi Tetsu's strength and state of mind become higher and higher, he no longer has much need for this kind of prop that simply increases his vision.

Looking at Uesugi Tetsu's recent battles, he indeed rarely used the Hundred-Eyed Demon Eyes.

The bonus of the Five Thunder Pearls to his current combat system should still be very obvious.

With this thought, Uesugi Che no longer hesitated and put all three Hundred-Eyed Demon Eyeballs into the trading box, which made the black-haired loli on the skeleton throne show a slightly surprised expression.

She seemed not to have expected that the transaction would go so smoothly.

[You paid "One Eye of the Hundred Eyes" x 3, transaction completed.]

[You have obtained the "Five Thunder Pearls"! ]

But the hints don’t end here.

In the card pool, three miniature scarlet eyes appeared in the hands of the black-haired loli.

She played with the three pupils, a satisfied smile on her lips.

The black-haired loli raised her chin, snorted, and kicked the treasure mountain.

[Hyameki is very satisfied with this transaction.]

[You have additionally obtained "Attribute Enhancement Pill (Random)"! ]

“The boss is awesome!”

After reading the prompt, Uesugi Che could no longer suppress his smile - originally, he could exchange three pupils for a Five Thunder Pearl at the end of the card pool, and he didn't know whether he could get it or not, which was a small profit.

Now, the Hundred-Eyed Demon who inexplicably "came alive" in the card pool actually gave him an extra item.

No matter what the props are or whether they are useful or not, giving them to him for free is nothing but generosity.
What's more, judging from the name of this prop, it is a very practical type that can be used immediately.

Uesugi Che opened his hand, and a small round pink pill appeared in his hand.

【Attribute Enhancement Pill】

【Quality: Super good】

[Effect: After taking, the charm attribute is increased by 2 points. (Randomly completed)]

[——This elixir, made from who knows how many years ago, seems to have the effect of strengthening the body and replenishing the vital energy.]

Okay, okay, what you are doing to strengthen your foundation and improve your charm is right.

Without saying a word, Uesugi Che threw the little pink pill into his mouth.

In an instant, a subtle tingling sensation came from deep within his body, but it quickly disappeared, and it was over before he could even feel the pleasure.

Uesugi Che opened the attribute panel and found that the charm attribute had indeed increased by two points, finally breaking through from "9" to the double-digit "11", becoming the last attribute to break through double digits.

However, when he took out his mobile phone and turned on the selfie function of the "camera", he did not find much change, but only felt that he was still as handsome.

"Forget it... I don't expect the front camera of a phone worth over a thousand yuan to show anything."

Putting the phone aside, Uesugi Tetsu believed that these two changes in charm would sooner or later be reflected in all aspects of the future.

Then he took out the highlight of this transaction - the Five Thunder Pearls.

The Five Thunder Bead is about the size of a fist and not too heavy. It feels cool in the hand but has an unexpected matte texture, as if a coating was specially added to increase friction and prevent the bead from slipping from the hand.

The entire bead is crystal clear, and from the appearance it looks like a precious gem.

【Five Thunder Pearls】

【Quality: Rare+】

[Use 1: Holding the Five Thunder Beads will significantly increase the power of lightning-related spells to a certain extent.]

[Use 2: When near the Five Thunder Beads, the speed of practicing thunder magic is slightly increased.]

[Use 3: Embed onto weapons and equipment. After embedding, the amplification effect is weakened, but new unknown effects will appear based on the embedded equipment.]

【Note: There is a chance of failure when embedding the Five Thunder Beads.】

[——People always ask me the secret to not going home empty-handed every day, so I took out this bead.]

"The two effects are a little better than expected."

Uesugi Tetsu originally thought that the Five Thunder Pearl was simply an item that increased attack power, but he didn't expect it could also increase the speed of cultivation.

Holding the Five Thunder Beads in his hand, Uesugi Che exhaled slightly, causing a beam of lightning about twice the thickness of a hair to shoot out from his fingertips.

"Wow, it doubled?"

Uesugi Che glanced at the introduction of the Five Thunder Pearl, thought for a moment, and then shot out another electric current as thick as his index finger.

The ideal condition this time should have been "an electric current as thick as a thumb", but it was slightly short of that.

"In other words, the amplification power of the Five Thunder Beads will decrease as the power of the electric current itself increases."

Uesugi Tetsu nodded.

This is normal. If the Five Thunder Pearl can double the power of magic under any circumstances, then it should not be a rare quality item, but at least a rare treasure of "super epic" quality.

"But how strong is this thing..."

Uesugi Che tried to flick the Five Thunder Pearl with his fingers and was surprised to find that it was actually harder than he had imagined.

He knocked the surface of the Five Thunder Pearl with his knuckles, and then heard the sounds of "clang" and "clang".

Well, now the fourth use comes out.

——In desperate situations, these five thunder beads can at least be used as a solid ball carrying huge electric current to hit the enemy's face.

If it survives, it can be recycled and reused after being smashed.

And you don’t need to worry about it breaking in daily life, which is very worry-free.

After playing with the glowing Five Thunder Bead for a while, Uesugi Che turned off the ten-minute alarm on his phone.

"It's time to go back."

……

Unlike the water pressure he had experienced when passing through the deep sea in the past, entering the Warring States period from the present world gave Uesugi Tetsu more of a subtle sense of dislocation.

This feeling was as if his perception of time and space was stretched to a very long extent, and then before he could adapt, he was thrown into the Warring States period, making everything around him return to normal.

As a result, a faint sense of dislocation lingered in the mind of Uesugi Tetsu, who had silently stepped on the beam of Tanakaro's house.

He relaxed for a moment, suppressed the urge to vomit, and thought to himself that he should make more trips back and forth in his spare time to get used to it.

Otherwise, something big might happen at a critical moment.

Anyway, there is no need to run maps now...

Uesugi Che jumped down from the beam, glanced outside and found that it was completely dark and a huge full moon was hanging in the night sky.

He walked out of the "doza" - a room covered with bamboo mats similar to tatami.

Uesugi Che immediately saw Shiraishi leaning against the doorway, wearing only a single piece of clothing, his small body curled up into a ball due to the cold.

"Why are you sleeping like this? There's no heat coming out of your mouth. Are you freezing to death?"

However, when Uesugi Tetsu took a closer look, he discovered that Shiraishi was actually wrapping his body with the loose single garment that he originally wore on the outside, and using his mouth to block the only large hole for exchanging air with the outside world.

In this way, it can be ensured as much as possible that the gas entering the single garment is hot.

“He’s also a talent.”

Uesugi Tetsu muttered with a rare laugh, feeling that this was also the wisdom of survival.

He squatted down and nudged Bai Shi's shoulder, then asked directly, "Why don't you sleep inside? Isn't it much warmer inside with the fire?"

"Ugh!"

Shiraishi, who was lightly sleeping, was startled by Uesugi Tetsu who suddenly appeared beside him and fell down.

He spun around a few times on the ground, and after taking off the singlet covering his head, he said in astonishment, "Boss? Is that you?"

Shiraishi walked forward cautiously and twitched his nose several times before confirming that it was Uesugi Tetsu himself.

He lowered his voice and said sullenly, "Boss, why are you walking and breathing so silently? You're like a ghost!"

After saying that, Bai Shi rubbed his shoulders and blew a breath of hot air into his palms: "It's freezing outside. Why is the temperature difference between day and night so big recently?"

"Then why don't you sleep inside?" Uesugi Che raised his hand and released some internal energy to dispel the chill on Bai Shi's body. "I never said that you must sleep outside the house."

Bai Shi suddenly felt the coldness in his body dissipate and blinked in surprise. He pursed his lips and wanted to thank him, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.

Then Bai Shi crossed his arms and snorted, "As a master of the Iga clan, I am naturally accustomed to this kind of harsh environment."

"Of course, it's also to better warn and attract the attention of those who come at night." He shook his head and said, "Boss, it's really pitiful that you don't even have this little common sense."

"After all, it's for me, right?"

Uesugi Tetsu responded, then asked, "So, roughly how long have I been walking?"

"If you die without knowing why, I won't have so many good things to eat in the future!"

Bai Shi said this first, then looked up at the moon for a while before replying, "About two and a half hours have passed."

Ten minutes versus two and a half hours...

Uesugi Toru nodded silently.

In other words, the speed of time flowing in the present world and the Warring States Period is about 1 to 30. For every day that passes in the present world, a month will pass quickly in the Warring States Period.

"This is much bigger than the Lunar Station back then."

Uesugi Tetsu thought to himself that this outrageous difference in the speed of time flow should also prove that the time limit for completing the main tasks in the Warring States period should be very long.

But that's fine.

If the flow of time on both sides was the same, if he was stuck in the Warring States Period for a few months or a year, he might have already passed the second and third waves in the present world.

What’s the point of completing this three-star level task by then?

But it is still not possible to use the extra time to frantically brush up your proficiency - the lesson of Ruzuki Station is still there, and the bugs in the panel are not that easy to find.

"This extra time is perfect for me to explore ways to advance my state of mind."

Uesugi Tetsu nodded secretly. Before entering the Warring States Period, what he lacked most was time, so he might have had to rely on his attributes to force his way through his state of mind. But now, he suddenly had thirty times more time, more than enough for him to calm down and slowly explore the way forward.

Seeing that Uesugi Tetsu remained silent for a long time, Bai Shi waved his hand in front of him and said, "Boss? Seems like it?"

Uesugi Tetsu gave him a slap and said, "Come in and sleep."

After pulling Shiraishi, who was covering his forehead, into the house and telling him to sleep inside, Uesugi Tetsu ran to the corner, sat cross-legged, and began his daily meditation and practice.

Although my proficiency didn't increase as fast as in the real world...

But ensuring daily practice is a good habit that should never be abandoned.

——That’s what Ririkko said.

Since the Master of Inner Volume and the Emperor of Cultivation have said so, then as her "disciple", there is no reason for Uesugi Tetsu not to do the same.

……

The next morning.

Uesugi Che, who was meditating, clearly felt the gaze sneaking up on him, so he suddenly stretched out his hand and flicked his fingers.

"Ouch!"

Bai Shi covered his forehead and cried out in pain.

But he quickly put the slight pain behind him and asked curiously, "Boss, you've been sitting here all night, aren't you going to sleep?"

"Practice."

"Practice?"

Bai Shi was puzzled. In his impression, shouldn't cultivation be a group of shirtless men gathered together, waving wooden swords and sweating profusely?

Is sitting also called practicing?

Uesugi Che opened his eyes and spit out a two-meter-long sword of air to the side, which made Xiao Baishi's eyes widen.

He reached out and touched the air to feel the residual warmth, then said to Uesugi Tetsu in disbelief, "Boss! I want to learn this!"

——Because if you learn this, you won’t be afraid of freezing to death when sleeping in the mountains in winter!
To this end, Shiraishi is ready to work like a slave for Uesugi Tetsu and complete one hundred and eight difficult tasks!
But he didn't expect that Uesugi Tetsu nodded and said calmly,

"Okay."

Bai Shi was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the answer to be so straightforward.

"Didn't I tell you before?" Uesugi Tetsu looked at him and raised his finger, saying, "If you want to learn, I'll teach you."

"This……"

Shiraishi does remember this.

But he thought Uesugi Tetsu was joking!
After all, this breathing method that can enhance physical fitness, also known as the "secret technique", is only accessible to warriors from major families.

I think the boss learned it with great effort.

How could it be possible to simply teach him such a brat who couldn't even sell his skin and bones.

Seeing his hesitation, Uesugi Che was confused: "Why, you don't want to learn?"

——When Lilizi first said she wanted to teach him, he was so happy that he couldn't contain himself.

"No! No!"

Bai Shi quickly shook his head and suddenly became incoherent.

Because the surprise came too suddenly, he felt a little dizzy.

After hearing this answer, Uesugi Tetsu understood.

He did not urge Bai Shi, but instead kept sorting out his understanding of Qigong bit by bit in his mind, trying to find the most easy-to-understand entry point.

This was his first time teaching someone.

As for the previous Lilizi, she could not be considered a human being. She was a pure genius, a freak, a monster. So when teaching Bai Shi, you can't just talk about whatever comes to your mind like you do when teaching Lilizi.

Otherwise, there is a high probability that Bai Shi will still be confused after he finishes speaking, and then all his teaching will be in vain.

There was silence in the hut for a long time. After Shiraishi calmed down, he slowly stood up and said, "Boss, I won't do anything about kneeling and kowtowing. I know you're not the kind of person who likes to put on a show."

He stretched out his finger and tapped the bridge of his nose: "In one word, life and death are together."

"Don't take it too seriously."

It was the first time that Uesugi Tetsu saw Shiraishi's serious face. He shook his head: "Whether I teach or not is up to me, but whether you learn or not is up to you."

——Although he had the purpose of teaching Bai Shi, this was only secondary, or incidental.

Fundamentally, Uesugi Tetsu still wanted to sort out all he had learned during the Warring States Period and try to build his own system.

Sorting out the Qigong technique from scratch is a basic attempt.

"Boss, you can't talk like that."

Bai Shi frowned and said unhappily, "If you just take a random dog over to the street and give it something delicious, it will still accompany you and lick you every day, let alone me..."

After hearing this, Uesugi Tetsu couldn't help but laugh: "Then it's up to you."

"hold head high."

Bai Shi sniffed the tip of his nose and smelled the aroma of brown rice coming from outside. He smacked his lips and said, "This Tanakarou is really generous. He even prepared three meals a day."

After saying that, he glanced at Shangshan Tetsu and snorted, "Then let's repay the favor start from now! Boss, I'll give you an extra mouthful of rice in my bowl later!"

After a while, Adao came in carrying the small wooden tray from yesterday.

She greeted Uesugi Tetsu and the others, then placed breakfast neatly on the table.

Uesugi Che took a look and found that compared to yesterday's "sumptuous" dinner, this breakfast was indeed much simpler.

All that was left was brown rice, which was cheaper than polished rice, a few small salted fish, and pickled radishes.

"Adao, please get another set of bowls and chopsticks, and sit down to eat with us." Shangshan Che smiled at her, "It will be more lively with more people, and my appetite is not that big in the morning."

"Ugh?"

The girl who had just stood up was stunned for a moment, not daring to ask more questions. She just lowered her slightly blushing face and said, "Okay, Master Che."

When Adao walked out, Bai Shi immediately came over and winked at him.

"Boss, I knew you were interested in this country girl. It turns out you didn't go straight to her yesterday because you wanted to take it slow..."

"Isn't the food enough to fill your mouth?"

Uesugi Tetsu used his internal energy to wrap a rice ball and stuffed it hard into Shiraishi's mouth, causing him to let out a dull "Mmm" sound.

——The reason why he said these words to Adao was to try to see if he could slowly change the trajectory of her life, so as to increase his "historical influence" on the Warring States Period in his "walking clock".

This "historical walking speed" is still a big zero in the walking time meter.

Uesugi Che still doesn't know how to improve it, so if he can be different, he will try to be different.

In less than a minute, Adao came trotting in with the bowl and chopsticks in his arms, and knelt down beside Uesugi Che with a little excitement on his face.

"Eat."

Uesugi Tetsu gave her some of the food in his bowl, causing the girl's hands holding the bowl to tremble a little.

"Thank you, sir."

A Dao expressed his gratitude while eating.

……

The next few days were uneventful and unremarkable.

Uesugi Tetsu and Shiraishi temporarily stayed at Tanakaro's house and ate free meals.

On weekdays, Uesugi Tetsu would ask Adao to come and eat together - originally he wanted Adao's mother to come as well, but unfortunately the latter was really reluctant, probably because she was afraid of ruining her daughter's good thing.

Tanakaro followed Uesugi Tetsu's wishes and told every villager what to do.

After saying this, he lied that he was fishing, but in fact he rushed to Sunpu Castle overnight to meet with the Imagawa family and report the matter of Uesugi Tetsu.

After receiving a positive answer, Tanaka Lang returned home excitedly, but did not reveal any flaws to Uesugi Tetsu.

Uesugi Tetsu didn't have the energy to care about the trivial things in Tanaka Lang's mind. He was busy organizing the Qigong technique.

He tried to explain it to Shiraishi these two days, but the latter said that he didn't understand it at all, so Uesugi Tetsu thought that he had not simplified it enough.

"But today, we can put the matter of Qigong on hold for a while."

Not long after breakfast in the morning, Adao cleaned up the dishes and went out to wash them. Bai Shi knew that he had to practice during this period of time, so he ran to the gate and did not allow outsiders to make loud noises or come in.

So only Uesugi Tetsu was left in Doma.

He stared at the panel in front of him as if in another world. A few hours in the present world was equivalent to several days here in the Warring States Period.

Uesugi Tetsu sighed: "The four-tailed fox has finally reached two stars."

["Four-Tailed Fox (Young Form)" Upgrading: 100%!]

[Your demonic incarnation, the Four-Tailed Fox (young form), has been upgraded! ]

[You have obtained the demonic incarnation, the four-tailed fox (adult form)! ]

The moment the three prompts popped up, the attribute panel that Uesugi Tetsu had placed aside underwent slight changes.

【Physique: 33】

[Will: 31]

[Charm: 11→12]

[Spiritual Arts: 29 → 32]

Charisma increased by 1 point, and spiritual power increased by 3 points - of course, this is only the most insignificant part of the entire promotion.

Uesugi Tetsu looked at the four-tailed fox whose card surface became even more "bling", and after scanning its panel from top to bottom, he slightly widened his eyes.

"Hiss—this skill."

【Four-tailed fox (adult)】

[Quality: Epic]

[Level: Two Stars]

[Level Cap: Three and a Half Stars]

[Talent: Thousand Faces·Change, Soul Seal, Wandering, Rage, Mirage]

【——A thousand faces and countless appearances, seemingly illusory but not real.】

[Thousand Faces: Modification: Consumes spiritual energy to shape appearance and height into any form. This talent also greatly reduces the demonic aura and spiritual fluctuations.]

This talent, Thousand Faces Kai, which was transformed from Thousand Faces, is like a big gift package hitting the face for Uesugi Tetsu now.

Because, this is equivalent to Uesugi Tetsu being able to walk the world unscrupulously in the form of a four-tailed fox during the Warring States Period.

Originally, Uesugi Tetsu was worried that the aura of the four-tailed fox would cause him to be recognized as a demon.

If you were mistaken for a demon, it would be difficult to survive in the Warring States Period.

But now, this Thousand Faces·Gai's talent has been added with the last sentence "It can restrain the monster's aura and spiritual power fluctuations to the greatest extent."

As soon as the word "extremely" appeared, Uesugi Tetsu thought that except for ghost-level figures and Onmyojis who were close to ghost-level figures, no one would be able to see through the effect of Thousand Faces Modification.

This Warring States period is only a three-star map, and spiritual energy is extremely scarce.

Apart from a very small number of possible hidden bosses, where can we find the two mentioned above?
This also means...

Uesugi Tetsu immediately transformed into a four-tailed fox, and then used the Thousand Faces Modification to shape himself into a human form - of course, the excess charm was also "pinched" back by him.

Otherwise, this outrageous charm, which is as high as 21 points and can bring disaster to the country and the people, will definitely trigger something that Uesugi Tetsu could never have expected.

It’s better to be normal - but 12 points of charm can be regarded as one of the best charm values in this era.

Uesugi Tetsu then hung the Prajna mask around his waist, and now the normal attributes he could maintain during the Warring States Period became—

【Uesugi Tetsu (Four-tailed Fox Incarnation)】

[Physique: 33→53]

[Willpower: 31 → 37]

[Charm: 12 → 12 (21)]

[Spiritual Arts: 32 → 78]

"As of now, I can definitely handle an average Samsung without any problems."

In the Warring States Period, normally the generals or so-called great swordsmen that we see should be around this level!

Uesugi Che looked at his attribute values that had soared several levels, and showed the joy of an old farmer with a good harvest.

The long wait finally paid off!

Moreover, there is an equally exaggerated new ability!
[Mirage: Consumes spiritual energy to expand a mirage domain centered on oneself and conducts a Will attribute determination. If the determination is successful, all enemies within the domain will fall into random negative states such as "cognitive confusion," "confusion," and "stagnation."]

Uesugi Tetsu could confirm the strength of this skill without even conducting any tests.

Perhaps the Mirage Talent alone is not particularly outstanding, but what if it is combined with the Soul Seal?

Mirage opens its territory first, and then the soul seal takes control.

With this combo, you can easily turn a group of enemies into fearless subordinates, and the cost-effectiveness is maximized.

You know, there are very few people like Uesugi Tetsu who can cultivate their state of mind to the level of a "clear mirror", and most people can't even achieve a calm mind!
This situation was even more obvious on the battlefields of the Warring States Period - it was simply nonsense to ask the foot soldiers who could not even get enough food to cultivate a vague state of mind.

The only thing left is the issue of the scope of the mirage area.

"It's really hard to try this in the village..."

Uesugi Che rubbed the corners of the wooden table with his fingers, wondering whether he should make up an excuse to run into the mountains and forests to try it out.

"Ok?"

Uesugi Che narrowed his eyes slightly and heard a strange roar.

"Get out of here, you little brat! You don't even dare to come out. I want to see what kind of coward is playing tricks in there!"

Then, Bai Shi's foul mouth sounded.

"I! Said! Wait! The boss is practicing now, and you, a hairy, mushroom-headed guy with a beard all over your face, are not allowed to yell or scream—"

boom!
The sound of the wooden door bursting open interrupted Bai Shi's voice.

"Cough... cough cough... just wait for me..."

The strange voice and the sharp sound of swords being drawn came together, frightening Tanaka Lang's family and their three companions so much that they covered their mouths and dared not make any unnecessary movements.
"—How dare you disrespect a superior warrior! I'll chop your head off with one blow!"

(End of this chapter)
