I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 81 (First Order Request!!!) Getting Started? A Moment Is Enough

Staring at the prompt in front of him, Uesugi Tetsu suddenly remembered the introduction suffix he saw when he first acquired the Qihe technique.

——Created by a sword master in the Heian period as a prerequisite for practicing the difficult breathing method, it is easy to get started but the effect is shallow.

"Prerequisites for practicing breathing techniques"!
Yes, that's it.

Just getting started requires a full 1,000 proficiency points, no wonder the word "difficult" is written in the introduction.

Uesugi Tetsu asked in his mind, "After the two skills are integrated, will the effect of Qihe Jutsu disappear?"

[No. The original effects of the Qihejutsu fragment will be retained, but the Qihejutsu fragment cannot be practiced to the next level.]

[Note: The upper limit of the Qi He Jue fragment level is "Mastered".]

Why hesitate?
"Fusion!"

Seeing that Uesugi Toru lowered his head and stopped talking, Lilizi, who was standing by, thought that he seemed to have realized something, so she immediately shut up to avoid disturbing him.

——But Uesugi Tetsu was just looking down at the fusion progress bar scrolling slowly. Although the speed was not slow, it was estimated that it would take three or four minutes to complete.

But it is just as frustrating as when the game is updated and resources are loaded in the preparation interface, but the network speed is very unsatisfactory.

[Fusion in progress... 90%, 91%...]

【Fusion completed! 】

[Because your Qi Fusion fragment is at "Mastery Level", the starting proficiency of the skill after fusion is "Beginner", and the required proficiency of the fusion skill is reduced by 30%!]

【Please propose a name for this fusion technique! 】

Uesugi Tetsu thought for a moment: "Corona Breathing."

Is it confirmed that this fusion technique is called "Coronal Breathing"?

"Yes."

This skill name was not chosen randomly because Uesugi Tetsu is bad at naming.

Rather, it is because calling them by the same name when the skills are obviously completely different can be quite deceptive.

If an enemy in the future loses control even for a moment because of this same name, it will be well worth it.

The moment he named the new skill, Uesugi Tetsu felt the surging internal energy in his body begin to surge, contract, and decrease madly.

In just a moment, the internal energy that was originally flowing slowly through the limbs and countless meridians disappeared.

It turned into a hot breath about the size of a fist at the dantian.

But this fist-sized breath of air made Uesugi Che feel as warm and comfortable as if his whole body was soaked in a hot spring, and he could feel the nourishment and evolution of every corner of his body.

[You have learned a new skill: Coronal Breathing! ]

[Coronal Breathing (Beginner 0/1400)]

【Effect: Strengthens the five internal organs, and exhales fire.】

[The amount of your internal energy has been greatly reduced, and the quality has been greatly improved! ]

[Because you have mastered the Corona Breathing Technique, your body is nourished by the Corona Energy, Physical Strength +4!]

His normal physique, which had originally reached 14 points due to the improvement in the quality of Smiling Prajna, now instantly jumped to 18 points!
The skin becomes tougher, the heartbeat becomes louder, and everything within the field of vision becomes clearer. The improvement brought about by physical growth is all-round.

The evolution of the physical body is completed, and what follows is the practice method and basic knowledge of the improved Coronal Breathing Method.

The practice of Corona Breathing is largely similar to that of Qi He Jutsu, requiring only breathing exercises for daily life and Qi He Jutsu for combat. Advanced practice allows for the unconscious flow of Corona Qi. With such a nearly identical training method, it's no wonder that Qi He Jutsu is considered a prerequisite skill.

But once it comes to combat, Qigong is completely incomparable to Coronal Breathing.

Compared to the monotonous Qi explosion of Qigong, or the more superficial use of attaching the Qi to the body surface, the Coronal Breathing Technique has more than a dozen special breathing techniques to deal with different scenarios.

For example, the first form is a versatile weapon in combat, the second form focuses on short bursts of power, and the third form can greatly enhance the hardness of the body...

Now, even if Uesugi Tetsu does not transform into Laughing Prajna, it can be said that he is no less capable than most of the one-star demons.

Just getting started can bring him such a big improvement.

It can only be said that breathing techniques are worthy of being called the two most widespread extraordinary paths along with Yin-Yang techniques.

However, even if the proficiency requirement is reduced, it still takes a full 1400 points to upgrade it to the proficient level.

Uesugi Che felt the surge of burning air in his lungs, and subconsciously exhaled it slowly, forming a thin air sword about one meter long.

It seems that next time I have to choose the task reward with reduced proficiency.

——After Ririk looked at Uesugi Tetsu, who lowered his head and remained silent, and suddenly spit out the iconic air sword that was the entry point into the breathing technique, even with her state of mind, she couldn't maintain a calm expression.

A flash of extremely cruel jealousy flashed across the girl's face.

Lilizi took a deep breath, temporarily stopping the visualization of fighting in her mind and the breathing method that was running at the maximum speed in her body.

Suddenly, the internal organs that were constantly tortured by the hot internal energy seemed to be reborn, making Lilizi couldn't help but squint her eyes with ease.

To use a more vivid metaphor, practicing Coronal Breathing is like taking a sauna. Practicing for tens of minutes or three or two hours will not be painful, but your body will feel very comfortable.

But what Lilizi did was more like living in a sauna room for 365 days a year, as long as this limit would not cause her to be injured to the point where she could not practice, or die from it.

As for how torturous and painful the practice process was, she didn't care at all.

The next moment, Lilizi suppressed these thoughts that would slow down her growth, and said seriously, "Uesugi-kun, I really can't compare to you."

Even though she had the Sword Heart Enlightenment plug-in to help her understand knowledge, she still had to listen to the entire text carefully several times before she could spend time to understand and practice it.

And what about just now?

She had only explained more than half of the introductory chapter of Coronal Breathing...but Uesugi-kun had already suddenly realized the key.

It's so amazing that it makes people not even think about catching up.

"But this is Uesugi Tetsu, this is the Uesugi Tetsu I know." After a moment of confusion, Ririko regained her happy smile and threw the bamboo sword aside to Uesugi Tetsu.

She stood up and picked up the bamboo sword as well: "Come on, Uesugi-kun! I put everything I want to say into this sword!"

Uesugi Tetsu picked up the bamboo sword that rolled in front of him, and after understanding the situation, he didn't say anything extra.

Because the requiem incense ash in the storage backpack has begun to glow.

[You have used 2.5 pieces of Requiem Incense Ash (Micro).]

He practiced the Coronal Breathing Technique with some awkwardness, carefully feeling the tingling sensation as the internal energy flowed through his body. He assumed a neutral stance and asked seriously,
"Lilizi, my physical fitness is much stronger than yours now. What if I accidentally hurt you?"

"Then you'll lose your best sparring partner and teacher for many days! Controlling your own strength is also a form of training, Uesugi-kun!"

After saying that, Lilizi rushed forward with a bamboo sword.
