Demon Capital Slayer

Chapter 145 Then I ask you
Do you think I'd believe that?!
Amane Suzune wanted to loudly rebuke the white-haired boy in front of her.

However, when she saw those deep, emerald-green eyes, she felt as if her throat was blocked by a large piece of rice cake. She couldn't refute such an absurd excuse immediately, and afterwards, she couldn't say anything at all.

As for what the 'famous sword - Electric Light Maru' is?
This is a famous gadget from the nationally popular manga series "Doraemon". It comes from a department store in the 22nd century and has the special ability to block attacks 100% of the time, provided there is electricity.

However, in the story, this famous sword often reaches its maximum power when its battery is at zero.

"We've gone off on a tangent," Tianyu Lingyin sighed heavily.

“Yujian, I have my doubts about this.”

"It's true," Yu Jian said earnestly.

"Sigh." Tianyu Lingyin felt a wave of exhaustion.

"Do you need a demonstration?" Yu Jian asked expressionlessly, silently chanting in his mind, 'As long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who will be embarrassed.'

"No need." Tianyu Lingyin closed her eyes in pain.

As the saying goes, "He who takes a man's money is bound to be grateful," and when you owe someone a favor, just like the female knight who shouted the "Gusha" line, the fair and just student council president was forced to make a decision—just pretend you didn't see it!
At the same time, Amane Suzune had to try her best not to look at Aizen Yurika, who always kept smiling. As her childhood friend and nemesis, how could she not see what kind of 'wicked' teasing and mockery was hidden behind that flawless smile?

That despicable, wicked woman!

Tianyu Lingyin puffs out her cheeks, Tianyu Lingyin bristles, Tianyu Lingyin exhales, Tianyu Lingyin chooses to reconcile with herself.

"Long live understanding." Yu Jian nodded.

Before the senior student could go berserk, he immediately grabbed Lily and ran into the campus, pretending not to hear the groans coming from behind.

Honestly, the 100% parry effect of the famous sword - Electric Light Ball can currently be manually restored to about 70-80% by Yujian, and maybe 80-90% if he's in good condition.

But it's still a bit short of being 100% perfect.

I still need to practice...

Recalling Sister Lu's message last night, Yu Jian couldn't help but feel emotional.

"Lily, do you know any reputable shrines or temples near the school?"

"Yes, there is, but why is Your Majesty suddenly asking about this?"

"I've been asked to go, so I have to go." Yu Jian looked around and, seeing that there were other classmates present, had to be vague in his explanation.

There's no way around it; both Mitsurugi and Yurika are the type who would attract attention just by walking down the street.

However, considering the unspoken rules that everyone in the inner world spontaneously abides by, some things are not suitable to be said publicly.

Incidentally, I didn't notice it earlier, but now I've carefully hidden the wakizashi [Demon-Slaying Blade] with my sword.

This brings us to the newly acquired ninjutsu scroll, "Collection of Ten Thousand Rivers".

Although it is only divided into volumes, and most of the content can only be used to broaden one's knowledge, some of the techniques are surprisingly convenient in daily life, such as the techniques of ninjas climbing high walls, and ninjutsu tips for hiding items on one's person.

Aside from their use in daily life, these things also seem suitable for doing bad things...

In short, despite only having glanced at it briefly, he still managed to learn most of the sword-flying technique, which he could now put to good use.

The wakizashi [exorcising demon sword] disappeared into the depths of his sleeve as if by magic.

Of course, ninjas are not considered formal practitioners. Considering the varying skill levels of users and the physical limitations of humans, even if one is skilled in using such ninjutsu techniques, there is no such nonsense as hiding a ballista in one's crotch.

“A shrine.” Yurika raised her index finger and touched her lips, and Mitsurugi’s gaze couldn’t help but follow.

A sixteen-year-old's body is really troublesome...

Without making a sound, the boy looked away and reflected on his actions. Then he heard Lily continue speaking.

"Remember the exorcism ritual I mentioned before? Some of my classmates' families own a shrine, which is said to worship a famous dragon god in the area. It should be a legitimate shrine, right?"

"Hmm." Yujian nodded subconsciously, only to realize when he came to his senses that Yurika was looking at him with a half-smile.

At this moment, the girl leaned forward slightly, looking up at the sword with a mischievous grin.

"Ahem, is it far?" Yu Jian coughed lightly and asked, pretending nothing had happened.

"It's not far, about a five or six-minute walk."

"So what exactly is it, My Lord?" Although not as tall as Mikami, the smiling Aizen-sama gave the impression of looking down on him.

Yujian instinctively distanced himself at first, then gritted his teeth and whispered something about 'passing on a message' into Yurika's ear.

Aizen Yurika nodded calmly, then suddenly leaned close to Mitsurugi's ear and whispered:

"Phew~ So, it turns out that Yujian met more than one older sister over the weekend."

"!" Yu Jian immediately covered his ears and took two steps back.

The interaction between the two made other students passing by widen their eyes in surprise.

While Yujian covered his ears and ran away, little did he know that the seemingly calm and composed Aizen Daiboss also had a suspicious blush rising at the base of his ears.

After much dawdling, they finally arrived at Class 7 of the first year of high school, and the two took their seats.

Because they caught the subway smoothly, although they were not the last group to arrive, there were already quite a few classmates in the class. Ninety-nine percent of them took the initiative to greet Aizen Yurika, and for a moment it felt like a lively gathering.

On the other side, after sitting down, Miken slowly adjusted the position of the wakizashi [Demon-Slaying Blade] according to the contents of "Mansen-kai".

Unexpectedly, a classmate in the same classroom was greatly shocked by this.

If he weren't wearing a mask, his exaggerated expression would most likely have caught Yujian's attention.

However, a student named 'Kazama Hayato' from Class 7 of the first year of high school claims to suffer from severe hay fever. Not only does he wear thick glasses every day, but he also covers his face with a mask all year round, hiding all his expressions behind that layer of cloth.

Because of his height and appearance, Yu Jian would be the center of attention whenever he entered public places. A mere gaze that didn't even have any killing intent naturally failed to attract the attention of the young swordsman.

While listening to the morning lessons in a haphazard manner, Yu Jian focused more of his attention on contemplating cultivation.

Although he is making great strides toward becoming the 'youngest sword saint in history' in terms of swordsmanship, he is undoubtedly a novice as a cultivator and needs to learn everything in every aspect.

I'm ashamed to admit that I only learned how to conceal my presence from Inugami Milo.

Should we find a teacher...?

The moment this thought arose, a golden light flashed between Yu Jian's brows, looking like a mark left by someone flicking his forehead.

Beside him, a usually quiet student with very short hair suddenly paused, snapped the pen in his hand, and then hurriedly began to clean up the ink that had been spilled all over the table, while being scolded by the teacher in the process.

Yu Jian glanced at it and then looked away, continuing to ponder matters related to cultivation.

Although there is still much to learn, fortunately, the content of "Immortal Techniques: All Things in the Universe" is very detailed. Anyway, he feels that he can gain something every time he reads it, and gradually he has figured out how to cultivate at this stage.

Currently, I not only need to absorb various images, but I also cannot neglect my own cultivation. The two complement each other. The former can promote the improvement of the latter, and the latter can in turn help the former absorb images faster, better, and even more.

This creates a virtuous cycle, which continues in a spiral, leading to the pinnacle of achievement.

After a moment's thought, Yu Jian set himself a short-term goal: to acquire more animal imagery in order to improve the construction of the Myriad Manifestations Dragon.

Currently, he only possesses the animal image of Eagle Eye, and he is still at least eight short of the initial formation of the Myriad Manifestations Dragon, because only by exceeding the number nine can he step into the tenth complete manifestation and further evolve into hundreds of millions of scales.

I have a feeling it will be very tough...

Thinking this way, Yu Jian wasn't discouraged at all; on the contrary, he felt like a mountain climber who had parted the clouds to see the mountain peaks.

Why climb mountains? Because the mountains are there!

Oh my god, it's on fire!

Then, the sword that had spontaneously combusted was called out by the teacher.

Bitter—ah—wash—

Meanwhile, Kazama Hayato was also troubled.

He had something he really wanted to say, something he was really struggling to keep to himself. He really wanted to ask that classmate, who had taken a week off at the start of the semester and then returned like a storm, supposedly chosen as a sacrifice by the great bodhisattva Aizen.

Are you a ninja too?

Not far from Kazama Hayato, a student named Fujii Tatsuya was also troubled.

Was that Buddha's light?
