I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 154: The Method of Casting the Meat Palace, the Final Winner! (6.4k, monthly ticket requested)

[Because your Coronal Breathing Technique has been upgraded to Mastery, your Physical Strength is increased by 5!]

[Because your Coronal Breathing Technique has reached Mastery, your internal energy has increased significantly! The quality of your internal energy has also increased significantly!]

Because you've completed the basics of Gangqi Flow, your Physical Fitness has increased by 5, and the quality of your Internal Qi has increased! Your Internal Qi recovery speed has increased significantly!

"After the Qi flows through the four poles, it becomes 'circulation without ceasing'."

As the name suggests, all the internal energy is continuously circulating in the body to ensure that the "internal energy never stops".

In this way, the practitioner's combat duration and recovery rate can be greatly improved.

Uesugi Tetsu only needed to clench his fist slightly, and he could clearly feel the corona energy that was constantly flowing out of every meridian in his body, which was far hotter and purer than before.

These coronal energies seemed to have intelligence and would circulate continuously in the body at a much faster and more stable rate than before.

And each time the Qi circulates through the body, more corona Qi is produced to ensure that the internal Qi is full, and then nourish the body.

In just a moment, the internal energy in his body, which had been dried up to nothing, had recovered to one-fifth.

The speed at which his internal energy recovered was almost five to ten times faster than before his breakthrough!
Uesugi Che felt a warm feeling coming from the wounds all over his body and saw that they were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

First the blood clots and forms a scab, then the skin and flesh surge and intertwine.

In just a dozen seconds, you can see that a small wound has completely recovered.

Just the continuous circulation of Qi can produce such an effect.

So what about the "Qi flow" that is obtained after completing the three things of "strengthening the five internal organs, circulating Qi to the four poles, and circulating Qi endlessly"?

Uesugi Che raised his fingertips as he wished, and then he saw a wisp of white energy without any impurities, like a solid, quietly popping out.

This is nothing - after the quality of internal energy has been improved many times, it is normal to have the罡气 that needed to be condensed by itself to become "solid" in the past.

From now on, the corona energy in his body can be renamed from internal energy to Gang Qi.

The key point is that while maintaining the existence of this ray of "Gangqi Sword", the corona energy in his body was only reduced by this part, and there was no sign of continuous consumption at all!

What this means is that as long as Uesugi Che wants, he can always maintain the existence of the Qi Gang on his body.

He stared at the sword of energy at his fingertips, thinking that his vision of mastering the Qigong technique had finally been fulfilled.

——The current罡气 has perfectly met his original fantasy.

It is extremely efficient and of excellent quality. It can circulate in the body to strengthen the body, and can also be released outside the body to increase the means of defending against enemies.

Just as Uesugi Tetsu was retracting his Qi sword and was about to look at Geye Chihaya who was walking out of the passage, a prompt suddenly popped up in front of him.

[It has been detected that your skill, Coronal Breathing, has reached the mastery level. Do you want to further divide it into different levels according to the "Breathing Stage, Flesh Palace"?]

Palace of meat?
This word seems to have appeared in the effect column just now.

So completing the "Meat Palace" is what you need to do in the "Mastery" stage of Coronal Breathing?

Uesugi Che glanced at the Corona Breathing Technique, which required a proficiency of 10,000 points to advance.

Even he couldn't help but feel that this number was a bit exaggerated.

From 3,500 points to 10,000 points...these 10,000 points are the result after reductions and exemptions.

At the same time, after reaching the mastery level in Coronal Breathing, proficiency can no longer be improved by the simple method of Qi circulation.

Instead, one must endure inhuman pain and actively use the internal energy to stimulate and temper different parts of the body day and night.

If there is any mistake in the practice during this process, it will directly lead to necrosis of the tempered part.

It is conceivable how difficult it is for ordinary people to practice in the Palace of Flesh.

"Yes."

Uesugi Che said silently in his heart, and then saw several prompts pop up at the same time.

Your skill, Coronal Breathing, has been given a more detailed and accurate tiering system! Please check it out.

【Coronal Breathing (Skin Hardening 272/1500)】

[Coronal Breathing (Bone Forging 0/1500)]

[Coronal Breathing (Flesh Refining 0/5000)]

"Skin Tempering, Bone Forging, and Flesh Refining... these three items alone only account for 8,000 points of proficiency." Uesugi Tetsu pondered. "The ability represented by the last 2,000 points of proficiency should only appear after fully completing these three items."

However, the gap between the first two and the proficiency requirements of "Flesh Refining" is so huge...

Before Uesugi Tetsu could think about it, the teasing voice of Kuzuya Chihaya came from afar and interrupted his thoughts.

"Do you need more time?"

Wearing only a thin and brief sports bra and panties covering her private parts, Chihaya Kuzuba sat on the edge of the arena.

Her golden hair fell down, she flicked her nails and smiled,
"I'm a very generous sister. I won't be like those two ignorant kids and start a fight without saying a word."

"No need, big sister."

Uesugi Tetsu twisted his neck, exhaled normal air, and walked out of Ershaku-sama's arms.

After completing the circulation of the罡气, all the internal energy in his body can maximize its effect and will no longer dissipate or leak out at will.

He smiled at Kuzuye Chihaya and said, "Because I have completed the flow of Qi."

Uesugi Tetsu's nonchalant voice gradually spread throughout the arena, and wherever it reached, the discussions there suddenly disappeared.

Even Kuzuba Chihaya licked her lips with interest, and did not pursue the matter of Uesugi Tetsu calling her "big sister" any further: "Interesting, you kid, you are really interesting."

"I didn't take you to the hotel earlier. I really lost a lot..."

In less than five minutes after the battle, he completed the "Continuous Circulation of Qi" with his seriously injured body, and then understood the concept of "Qi Flowing"?
Everyone was speechless.

They only knew that a shining new star that could illuminate the entire Tokyo and even eastern Japan had risen today in the underground arena of Longyuetang.

Someone immediately shouted to Nanjo Aimi, "Mr. Nanjo! Please quickly make Uesugi admit defeat and withdraw from the sword fight!"

"That's right! A genius like him shouldn't risk his life to participate in the third trial... If anything unexpected happens, it will not only be a loss for the Special Affairs Office, but also a loss for the entire world!"

Nanjo Aimi listened to these words that suddenly showed concern for Uesugi Tetsu, narrowed her eyes, and yawned sleepily.

She thought about it, and then, determined to follow the opinions of the parties involved, she sent a message to the audience, "Uesugi-kun, do you want to continue?"

Uesugi Tetsu didn't look back, just nodded.

So Nanjo Aimi snapped her fingers without thinking and used the omnipotent Onmyoji to shut up all these people's mouths.

At the same time, similar words were also blocked in the stomachs of those viewers who had not yet had time to speak.

She hummed indifferently, "Then continue."

After hearing this, Kuzuba Chihaya smiled and clapped her hands: "That's right, Uesugi-kun! A hero shouldn't flee from the battlefield!"

She smiled and looked at Uesugi Tetsu who continued to take out the blood-stained crown and put it on his head.

"With the fluctuation of spiritual energy, can it summon the spirits of Shikigami?" Kuzuye Chizaya thought to himself, "Taking into account the lightning that just attached to the sword, he is also an Onmyoji who is proficient in Onmyoji."

He practiced both breathing techniques and Yin-Yang magic, and his attainments in both were not too low. No wonder he was able to defeat Little Crow and the others.

Moreover, Uesugi Tetsu is also an emerging seed of the Special Affairs Department after the first wave came.

——Kuzouba Chihaya had read all his previous information in detail. He was just an ordinary high school boy whose parents had both passed away, except that he liked supernatural things.

So, why did he have time to practice both and achieve his current level of accomplishment?

genius.

Chihaya Kuzuba thought happily.

What would take ordinary people ten years or even longer to complete, they may be able to accomplish in just one month or even ten days, and their foundation will be more solid.

——Geniuses are creatures that never need to be reasoned with.

——Most of the audience had the same thought in their minds.

Because there is always a time when most people, either due to coincidence or due to self-confidence, mistakenly believe that they are the legendary genius.

Until their fantasies are shattered by a true genius.

All eyes fell on Uesugi Tetsu.

Seeing that Uesugi Tetsu had already drawn Kaga Kiyomitsu and pointed it at him, Kuzuba Chihaya jumped down from the fence: "So, Uesugi-kun, are you finally ready?"

She turned her wrist and made a grip.

Then the white snake that had been coiled on her chest slowly emerged with its tongue spitting out, wrapped around Chihaya Kuzuba's arm until it swam to her palm.

Then, after a fluctuation of spiritual power and a flash of white light, a large snake-patterned naginata that was much longer than her body fell into her hands.

The naginata is two meters and one meter long, snow-white in color, with a clear blade and winding snake patterns climbing on it.

Kuzuba Chihaya looked up and said with a smile: "Lazy Master, why don't you start?"

Kujo Oboroya then spoke slowly as if waking from a dream.
"The third and final trial of the True Sword Test begins now."

As the words fell, their eyes met.

Uesugi Tetsu grasped Kaga Kiyomitsu's hilt with both hands, posing an impartial Tangzhu stance: "Big sister, why don't you attack me?"

"Oh that's fine."

Chihaya Kuzuba blinked and nodded.

She tapped her chin with her finger and said with concern, "Don't cry."

The next moment, one, ten, a hundred... countless Chihaya Kuzuha appeared in Uesugi Tetsu's sight.

To be precise, it appeared in the "mirror" in Uesugi Tetsu's mind, allowing him to foresee hundreds of possibilities of Chihaya Kuzuba's attack at once.

How to prevent this?!

Uesugi Tetsu immediately turned off the pre-reading ability that had been played around with by Chihaya Kuzuba.

Then, a cold light flashed into his pupils.

Instinctively, Uesugi Tetsu, who hadn't realized what was happening, crossed the blade.

Stab it--!
A series of dense sparks shot out, and were then completely swallowed up by the sorrow of separation surging from Kaga Kiyomitsu.

The surging force silently penetrated into Uesugi Che's body along the intersection of the blades, making his hands numb and coughing up a mouthful of blood foam with a strong aura.

The corner of Uesugi Che's eyes twitched - with just this one strike, his energy circulation was shattered by the weakest point found by Geye Chihaya!

Moreover, Chihaya Kuzuba's naginata showed no signs of damage when it collided with Kiyomitsu Kaga. The snake patterns on it could even absorb the effects of the sorrow of separation that invaded her body.

This means that her naginata is at least epic, or even a super epic weapon!

At this moment, the voice of Erchiku-sama reached through my heartstrings.

"Lord Che, little..." Before she could finish her words, she saw Uesugi Che being knocked away by Kuzuya Chihaya like a cannonball, and deeply embedded in the wall of the arena.

boom!
Smoke and dust rose up, and were then chopped apart by Uesugi Tetsu's sword.

He turned his head slightly and spat out a mouthful of black blood to the side, then said calmly, "Big sister, your knife doesn't seem to be very powerful."

After hearing this, Kuzuba Chihaya raised her eyebrows, covered her mouth with her fingers and chuckled.

"Uesugi-kun, you're still being stubborn even now, which is actually kind of cute."

She tapped the ground lightly with her toes, and then the blade of the naginata silently slashed towards Uesugi Tetsu's eyes.

clang!
The sound of iron clashing against iron spread out.

Kaga Kiyomitsu took the initiative to move forward and hit the center of the naginata just right, causing the transmission of Kuzuye Chihaya's force to stagnate.

Uesugi Tetsu raised his eyes and said calmly,

"Sister, I won't be hit by the same trick twice."

"I think so too."

Chihaya Kuzuba took a small step back, and then unexpectedly turned the stopped naginata around suddenly within such a short distance.

From bottom to top, two phantoms attacked at the same time!

Uesugi Che's expression remained unchanged, the internal energy roaring, and he chopped down the blade as if he had expected it, forcibly using his ultimate move without even taking any stance.

Natural rational flow three-stage breakthrough!

The blades met head-on again.

The tremendous force was transmitted into Uesugi Che's two arms at the moment of contact, and then quickly dispersed throughout his body by the endless flow of qi and quickly dissipated.

If it was before his breakthrough in breathing technique, not only would Uesugi Che's combat effectiveness be drastically reduced after these two sword exchanges, but his sword-swinging speed would also have slowed down significantly in the next few seconds.

But now, the aftereffects of the knife fight disappeared almost completely in a moment.

But before Uesugi Tetsu could raise the blade, Geye Chi had already raised her slender and powerful thighs towards him with a bright smile.

Then, he kicked Uesugi Che back into the wall!
This time, the naginata immediately stretched out like a snake, and drilled into the smoke and dust, trying to pick up Uesugi Tetsu.

"I'll protect you, Master Che!"

Behind Chihaya Kuzuba, holding a gray-white two-handed sword high up, the figure of Ershaku-sama, who seemed to have become several degrees lighter for some reason, jumped towards her clumsily in mid-air.

Although her actions were so childish and ridiculous, Chihaya Kuzuba immediately swung her naginata as if she felt a great threat.

The blade slashed Nishaku-sama's side in an instant.

The snake pattern lit up, and the blade did not pass by in an instant, but instead deeply embedded itself into the abdomen of the two-foot-tall lady, sending her flying into the other side of the arena's wall.

While Ershik-sama was still flying in the air, Wuque Mihinari's pure glass shield lit up, protecting her from any subsequent harm.

Kuzuye Chihaya tilted her head in surprise: "This Shiro Muku is actually a piece of armor that can stop Xiaobai."

But that's all.

It was unexpected that I would be harassed once.

"Alright Uesugi-kun, your little shikigami is almost out of the game."

Chihaya Kuzuba stared at Uesugi Tetsu, whose energy and spirit suddenly changed from ordinary to as vigorous as a dragon, and said quietly, "Let's continue the joyful fight..."

Uesugi Tetsu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, said nothing, and just carefully felt the new experience brought to him after the release of the soul-enhancing technique that had accumulated for nearly a month.

The world becomes slow and clear, and everything in oneself seems to fall into the palm of one's hand and can be manipulated at will. One can even glimpse the phantom of other people's spirits through the air.

But it's not enough!

After the two fierce confrontations just now, Uesugi Tetsu has clearly understood the gap between him and Kuzuba Chihaya.

Chihaya Kuzuba, very strong!
Very strong!
Even though her strength on paper was only three stars, everything she showed was undoubtedly enough to compete with the wax figure that was also three and a half stars and wielded a naginata!
Before I could finish my thoughts, a sudden storm came upon me!
Even if Uesugi Tetsu immediately retreated from the wall, Kuzuba Chihaya still clung to his side like a ghost, swinging her naginata at him from any angle from all directions.

Then, scars of varying depths were left on his body.

——Chihaya Kuzuba is compressing Uesugi Tetsu's space for survival and counterattack, enjoying the battle with a cat-and-mouse approach, and interpreting all of Uesugi Tetsu's behavioral patterns bit by bit.

Thus, Uesugi Tetsu was not given any chance to turn defeat into victory.

It's like a predator slowly leading its prey into its carefully designed trap.

——Many of the spectators who were watching were quite talented and could see this, so they felt particularly disappointed.

Because you see, geniuses with far greater talents than theirs will also be suppressed by stronger people. This world is so cruel.

Being a genius alone is not enough!
"If this is all he has, he's doomed to fail."

Tokugawa Xing propped his cheek up with his fist and said calmly, "Bald donkey, why can't I feel happy at all even though I saw him get beaten up and felt relieved?"

Huijue blinked after hearing this, carefully flipped through the notes on his phone, raised his finger and said with a smile: "Donor Tokugawa, I know this. It should be an emotion called 'tsundere'..."

"Shut up, I'm not that hypocritical." Tokugawa Xing sighed helplessly, "It's true that I want to beat him up, but it's also true that I want him to win."

Because if Uesugi Tetsu is only at this level, how can she entrust Ririkko to him with confidence?

Subconsciously, Tokugawa Xing had unknowingly gripped the armrests of the chair tightly.

——Can you bring me more surprises, Uesugi Tetsu?
Jingle bell bell~
A pale golden ringing sound was heard, and the broken crown of the chick lit up with a bloody light.

Retracting his arm, which once again had a bloodstain on it, Uesugi Tetsu took two steps back: "Big sister, why don't you take a look behind you?"

Chihaya Kuzuba turned around and saw three Komainu and several puppets wearing bamboo armor and straw hats staggering towards them.

But without exception, they were all just one-star little demons.

After a moment of shock, she couldn't help laughing: "Don't tell me this is your trump card, Uesugi-kun."

Uesugi Tetsu took this opportunity to move back a few meters.

——He naturally knew that these one-star little demons summoned with sporadic spiritual power were not enough for Ge Ye Qianzhao to chop with one hand.

But the question is, even if he expended a large amount of spiritual energy and was extremely lucky enough to summon three two-and-a-half-star Komainu hatamoto and a group of one-and-a-half-star puppets, could he hurt Chihaya Kuzuba?

the answer is negative.

She only needs a few more minutes to use her super high mobility to clear out this group of "monsters" without any damage.

Ge Yeqian had no idea how many times he had done this.

In this case, it would be better to summon a weak demon to make her relax her vigilance regarding her spiritual power.

Even a little bit.

Then, Uesugi Tetsu made use of the ability of the blessed folding fan, which had never appeared before, to instantly release thunder. He poured all his spiritual power into it and then amplified it with the Five Thunder Beads to complete a fatal blow!

Uesugi Tetsu also knew that the success rate of his plan was not high.

Even though he had previously revealed the information that "Uesugi Tetsu's thunder magic can only be used at close range."

But when facing a stronger opponent, you have to take risks and achieve victory by surprise!
Only in this way can we find a glimmer of hope for victory in the desperate situation of being completely suppressed.

Staring at the summoned creatures, more than half of which had been slaughtered, Uesugi Che slowly lowered his eyes and raised his energy and spirit to the peak.

He would not blame the presence of Kujo Oboroya for preventing him from transforming into a demon.

Throwing the blame on external circumstances when facing imminent failure is something only the weak would do.

Uesugi Tetsu is not yet that vulnerable - his decisive move has not yet been made.

"Please use whatever means you have left."

Chihaya Kuzuba swung her naginata, scattering wood chips and blood into the sand and dust.

She had fought unscathed until this point, looking directly into Uesugi Tetsu's eyes and said seriously, "Otherwise, there would be no chance."

"Then please be careful, or I'll chop your head off with one blow."

Uesugi Che gestured and said seriously, "Because you are really good at it, big sister, I can't hold back."

After hearing this, Kuzuba Chihaya closed her eyes and murmured softly, "What a delicious tone."

The next moment, a fierce attack far beyond the previous one fell swoop.

Uesugi Tetsu had no choice but to resist with difficulty, retreating step by step until he was forced into the wall again.

Chihaya Kuzuba stood in front of Uesugi Tetsu, the snake pattern on the tip of the naginata devouring his blood with satisfaction.
"Uesugi-kun, do you know the Wuming Sanduantou? Or a stronger secret technique?"

"Although I really want to give you a surprise with my super secret technique, unfortunately—"

Uesugi Tetsu shook his head: "No, that's it."

He assumed an impeccable three-stage attack stance, and tiny flashes of lightning began to surge from his arms to the blade, becoming dazzling.

Uesugi Che lowered his eyes: "I will put everything I have on this one blow."

Chihaya Kuzuha sighed, "How about Uesugi-kun, why don't you run out of the ring right now? It would be a shame to let a delicious boy like you die like this."

She didn't wait for an answer, so she smacked her lips in boredom, her eyes becoming cold: "Then let this all end."

"breathe--"

The newly born qi circulation was squeezed to the limit like draining the pond of fish. The muscles all over Uesugi Che's body bulged like pieces of fine steel, and his capillaries burst, dyeing his skin blood red.

The spirit and energy soared into the sky as if to pierce the sky.

"Come."

He said.

The next moment, Kuzuye Chihaya could see Kaga Kiyomitsu arriving in front of her at a speed far exceeding any previous sword attack.

She raised her naginata and deflected the blade slightly.

So Kaga Kiyomitsu's blade passed by Kuzuba Chihaya by a hair's breadth, and only the star-like lightning brought a slight tingling sensation to her skin.

Chihaya Kuzuba swung the blade with ease, and just before the naginata was about to cut through Uesugi Tetsu's waist, she gazed at the handsome face and sighed, "What a pity."

Wait, why is he still laughing?
Geye Chihaya was slightly stunned.

She hadn't felt any danger yet, but her rich experience had already made her subconsciously want to stay away from Uesugi Tetsu.

But it's too late.

The folding fan and the shining Five Thunder Beads appeared in Uesugi Che's hands without any warning, and the spiritual power that had been hidden in his body was consumed in an instant.

Boom!

Thunder exploded from the void.

The next moment, a red-purple lightning column as thick as a bucket fell from the sky like a current.
