I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 79 Coronal Breathing

Zashiki-warashi left.

She left without any regrets, leaving only a small handsome back view for Uesugi Tetsu.

"It's like forging a weapon for me for free..."

Uesugi Toru sighed, feeling quite embarrassed.

Originally, he wanted to give Zashiki a prop, but no matter how he looked around, he only found blue and green items. Not to mention helping her, he would consider it a success if he could just not take up space in her backpack.

So, Uesugi Tetsu had no choice but to remember her last request.

If you make red bean rice once a year, then choose January 1st.

In the future, when you pray for New Year's blessings, you can also worship the little god of fortune, Zashiki.

This is Uesugi Tetsu’s decision.

……

After leaving the mysterious village of Arakawa, Uesugi Tetsu did not immediately go to Kisaragi Station or Edo Castle to commit suicide.

One reason was that he had lost too much blood and was a little tired, and maybe he hadn't taken a shower for a long time, so there was still a hint of the bloody smell of the green ghost on his body.

Secondly, the natural rational flow is about to be upgraded. Uesugi Tetsu plans to gather all his energy to practice sword with Ririko tomorrow, learn the breathing method, and then enter the ordinary world.

After making up his mind, Uesugi Che fell directly onto the bed after taking a shower and closed his eyes.

The next morning.

Uesugi Tetsu changed into his school uniform and felt a little dazed when he saw his classmates walking in groups of two or three, talking and laughing on their way to school.

Having entered the mortal world too many times with day and night reversed, Uesugi Tetsu has now lost even the most basic concept of what day of the week it is and the date.

He almost forgot the day he decided not to go to school, he only remembered that he chopped down Bai Prajna after that.

Speaking of this, Uesugi Tetsu had to admit that the Special Affairs Office did a really good job in handling the aftermath.

Not only are so many supernatural events classified as various fires, explosions, and ordinary violent incidents, making most ordinary people unaware of them.

Even the deaths of his good friends Kumamoto, Aoto, and the girl named Takahashi who played fox, dog, and raccoon with him were turned into "transferring" and "studying abroad".

And their families did not come to the school to cause trouble.

Before the massive invasion of demons and monsters caused by the first wave, blocking the news was undoubtedly the best approach.

Because not only will more people know the reasons why ghosts and monsters exist, they will be able to come into the world more easily.

The relevant mysterious knowledge will also pollute ordinary people, making them more likely to encounter ghosts or fall into mental disorder, and even directly provide an anchor for the arrival of powerful beings.

correct--

He and Lilizi didn't come to school before, and it seemed that the Special Affairs Office also gave them a reasonable excuse.

Uesugi Tetsu took out his cell phone and looked at the message sent to him by Nanjo Aimi.

"The excuse is that Lilizi and I were chosen to participate in the special training for the Imperial Competition..."

He just wanted to make a note of it, but he found there was more information underneath.

Uesugi Tetsu narrowed his eyes and read out, "Although it's an excuse, the incident involving the Imperial Competition is true. I've put both you and Lilizi on the audition list..."

Nani, is the information true?!
Royal competition?

What the hell?
Uesugi Che searched the Internet and found no related searches.

Come on.

This couldn't be more true.

However, Nanjo Aimi told him not to be anxious, as there was still a long time before the auditions for the Imperial Competition began, and he might die before that time.

[Tsukisa-chan: Nanjo-san, thank you for your blessing.]

He stuffed his phone back into his pocket unhappily. As he walked into the school gate, Uesugi Che felt many gazes from his classmates, some of which were envy, some were admiration, and some were questioning.

But Uesugi Tetsu didn't care.

After casually greeting a few classmates whose names he couldn't remember, Uesugi Tetsu went to the last row of the classroom as a matter of course and continued practicing breathing and Qigong.

Lilizi said she would come to see her at noon, so Uesugi Tetsu continued to hone his proficiency in Qihejutsu alone.

As for why she didn't go directly to the kendo gym, Ririkko explained that she still had to learn - learning new knowledge would also help Kenshin grow stronger.

Of course, while studying, she also did not forget to practice breathing techniques and fight with simulated opponents in her mind.

Three uses at once!
"Sword Heart is simply the strongest talent of Curl Dog..."

Compared with this Ultimate Curly Dog who practices even when eating, drinking, and sleeping, Uesugi Tetsu, who also uses his spare time to practice, seems so lazy.

However, this time arrangement actually doesn't have much impact on Uesugi Tetsu.

Because if you want to practice kendo, you have to use the soul-soothing incense ash and concentrate.

With this level of seriousness, even if Uesugi Tetsu's physical condition has greatly improved, he can't last more than two or three hours.

It would be enough if I could understand what the sword heart is.

Unfortunately, Lilizi said that the level of kendo can only be achieved through personal understanding.

She could only give a few pointers on the "Oneness of Man and Sword"—

"You must deeply feel the feeling of being one with the sword in your hand, and turn it into instinct." Sword Heart Clear She, who had just inexplicably broken through to this realm, could not even ask for guidance.

Under the gazes of his classmates, Uesugi Tetsu, who was focused, finished his morning practice of Qigong.

[Your skill, Qi He Jutsu Fragment Proficiency +27!]

……

Instead of going to the cafeteria, Uesugi Tetsu bought a loaf of bread from the convenience store to fill his stomach.

I will be doing high-intensity training soon. If I eat too much, I will definitely vomit everything I eat, which is equivalent to eating for nothing.

Walking through the familiar tree-lined path, Uesugi Tetsu arrived at the entrance of the dojo.

"Huh? Why is there no one?"

Shouldn't it be the Kendo Club's club activity time now? Why is there no one here?

"The club activity has been rescheduled." Ririkko, who was sitting at the door meditating, opened her eyes after hearing footsteps. "Kondo Daishu is our instructor's older brother."

No wonder.

Uesugi Tetsu was originally wondering who could get the instructor, whose every word was full of Showa flavor, to make changes for the two of them.

Emotions are based on family ties.

"Now that you're here, stop talking nonsense."

Lilizi stepped aside and invited him in. She spoke in a voice like thunder: "I'll teach you the breathing technique."

This time, Uesugi Che's eardrums were hurt.

Putting aside other things, just in terms of the loudness of her voice, Lilizi, who had only practiced breathing techniques for a few days, was actually almost as loud as him.

You know, his Qigong technique is at the mastery level, but what level has Lilizi reached in breathing techniques?
Getting started? Or just getting started?
"Uesugi-kun, it's only been two days since I learned this [Corona Breathing Technique], so I can say I'm just getting started." Lilizi continued to stack armor. "So some of my ideas and understanding may not be correct. Please bear with me."

getting Started?

Uesugi Che's eyes lit up.

This level of skill is comparable to his mastery level of Qigong in some aspects. The potential of this breathing method is indeed extraordinary.

Lilizi sat down cross-legged, and after seeing Uesugi Tetsu change into his Taoist uniform, she slowly explained the basics and knowledge about breathing techniques.

[Tokugawa Ririkō is teaching you the Ririkō Breathing Technique...]

[Learning Requirements: Swordsmanship must have reached at least "Sword Heart Clear"]

【You do not meet the study requirements at this time. 】

Uesugi Che was about to happily get a new skill when he saw the prompt pop up halfway through listening.
"what?"

What the hell is Lilizi's breathing method?

Could it be that in just two days, Lilizi had already made this breathing method, which had been passed down for who knows how long, her own?
Seeing Uesugi Tetsu's shocked expression, Lilizi hummed softly and showed her cat-like mouth.

"As expected, you found out, Uesugi-kun."

She asked curiously, "I want to try it first. Do you also think that my improved breathing method is more effective? Because the original breathing method is very slow to practice, and it requires all kinds of strange foundations, and it also requires a certain level of talent..."

It’s not as high as the “qualifications” required of someone like you who has a clear sword mind.

Uesugi Tetsu shook his head and made a cross with his hands in front of his chest: "I can't learn it at all."

"Is that so? I understand."

Lilizi pouted in disappointment.

She thought for a long time before coughing twice. "Then, Uesugi-kun, please forget your previous knowledge and let's start over."

About half an hour later.

[Tokugawa Ririko is teaching you the technique of Coronal Breathing...]

【Would you like to learn Coronal Breathing?】

Uesugi Toru looked slightly happy and chose yes.

[You have learned the Coronal Breathing Technique.]

【Coronal Breathing (Beginner 0/1000)】

【Effect: Strengthen the body】

[——The technique is as its name suggests. When you master it to the highest level, it will be as blazing as the sun.]

Before even getting started, you actually need 1000 points of proficiency?
This is a proficiency requirement for mastering the Qi He Shu to the maximum level.

Now Uesugi Tetsu finally understood what Ririko meant by "cultivation is very slow".

His eyebrows twitched. How long would it take him to get started?
Just as Uesugi Tetsu was thinking this, two prompts popped up in front of him again.

[It has been detected that you have learned the skill of Qihejutsu fragments (mastery level).]

[Should we choose to integrate it with the skill Coronal Breathing to lower the learning threshold?]
