In Tokyo, I draw cards and become a big demon

"I've worked so hard to reach the highest level of proficiency in the Five Thunder Method: Qi He in such a difficult environment."

Uesugi Che sighed as it took him such a long time to reach 10 points of proficiency.

He looked at the prompt that popped up suddenly -

[Your skill, Five Thunder Method: Qi Combination Proficiency +10!]

[Your skill, Five Thunder Method: Qi He, has been upgraded to the entry level!]

[Five Thunder Method: Qi He (Entry 4/1000)]

[Effect: Can release lightning while practicing breathing techniques.]

[——Thunder and Qi are actually one and the same. You have gained a glimpse of the key, but that is all.]

[Because your Five Thunder Techniques Qi He has reached the entry level, your body has been slightly nourished by lightning, and your physical strength has increased by 1!]

[Because your Five Thunder Method: Qi He has been upgraded to the entry level, your affinity with lightning has increased.]

An increase of 1 point in physique is better than nothing. The key lies in the changes in the Five Thunder Method and Qi He itself.

Now, he seemed to be able to generate lightning from any part of his body and then release it.

Uesugi Che quietly felt the tingling sensation coming from all over his body and raised his fingers towards the window.

luck.

call out!

A faint flash of lightning wrapped in internal energy shot out from his fingertips and passed by the nose of Lilizi who was just walking out of the kitchen with a plate.

The girl first lowered her head to confirm that there was nothing wrong with the three plates of curry rice in her hands, and then silently looked at Uesugi Tetsu who was sitting at the dining table with an awkward smile.

"My mine, this wave is mine."

Snapped.

A bowl of curry pork cutlet rice served on a huge plate was thrown in front of Uesugi Tetsu.

A rich, hot steam rises, carrying with it the aroma of onions, curry, and fried meat.

Lilizi picked up the chopsticks and thrust them hard into the rice through the cracks of the crispy pork chop with a golden skin, piercing the egg coating on the rice grains.

"eat!"

"Yes!"

Uesugi Tetsu gave her an awkward salute, then lowered his head and started eating seriously.

However, in just a moment, Uesugi Tetsu's movements froze again.

——Damn it, Ririkko, why did you cook such delicious food?!

——Don’t you eat just to eat?!

Uesugi Tetsu, who had been eating cheap bento from convenience stores almost every meal since coming to this world, was almost moved to tears by the taste.

Delicious, so delicious!

If this scene was put in another superpower food anime, he would probably be so hungry that his clothes would burst and he would receive holy light.

Moreover, the curry rice made by Lilizi is not only about good heat control and delicious ingredients, but also contains a wonderful feeling that no one else can make.

"——For me, being able to put on an apron and calm down to cook in the kitchen is also a different kind of practice."

Ririko looked at the man and the Shikigami who were frantically eating curry rice across the table, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of her lips.

She put her palms together and said silently in her heart, "I'm starting."

——In less than ten minutes, Uesugi Tetsu cleared the curry rice from the large plate, not leaving even a grain of rice behind.

He looked to the side and saw Erchisama leaning on a chair with his belly so round that it looked like he was pregnant.

But even so, she still tried hard to reach out and hold the chopsticks, and said to the curry rice that was still left on the plate with a lot of effort: "I want to... finish it..."

Only then did Uesugi Che remember that Lord Ershaku had not had a good meal for dozens or even hundreds of years.

——Before, she even treasured the potato chips at the Ruzuki Station convenience store, not to mention this plate of premium curry rice.

All I can say is that no one in the Uesugi family, whether they are people or shikigami, has ever had a good meal.

Uesugi Tetsu waited until Ririkko, who was sitting across from him, had finished her meal without much hurry before he spoke: "Did you know about the Shinken Trial in Yokohama?"

"Try it out with real swords?" Lilizi showed appropriate doubts.

So Uesugi Tetsu spoke carefully and explained to Ririko the whole matter and the cause and effect of it.

——I must let Ririkko know about the real sword test.

It's impossible to hide this from Lilizi, she will find out sooner or later.

In this case, it would be better for Uesugi Tetsu to talk to her first so that he can know what she thinks earlier.

So as to avoid any impulsive behavior.

"We're going to fight the Yokohama-based Oborogetsu-do, and it's a semi-public fight," Uesugi Tetsu asked. "Because of your status, it's probably not going to be easy for you, Ririkiko, to participate, right?"

"Of course." Lili snapped her fingers. "This is not something you should consider, Uesugi-kun."

"The key is—"

Lilizi put down the phone that displayed the information of the three people and stared at Uesugi Tetsu seriously: "Uesugi-kun, can you deal with them?"

"I originally thought the key was whether you wanted to participate, Ririkko." Uesugi Tetsu smiled and said, "If you're considering me, then it's fine."

"I can handle this kind of rotten fish and shrimp by myself."

He patted the handle of Kaga Kiyomitsu's sword, which was leaning against the table leg.

"Lilizi, just continue to practice peacefully. You still have to be my teacher, right?"

After hearing this, Lilizi's eyes moved slightly, and then she lowered her head slightly: "Then I'll trouble you, Uesugi-kun."

"Small things."

……

While Ririkosuke was washing dishes, Uesugi Tetsu came to the balcony alone and lay on the railing, gazing at the twinkling starry sky while using the spirit control technique to absorb and exhale the spiritual energy in the atmosphere, which was several times richer than that in the outside world.

Although Lilizi had finished her chores during this period, she did not disturb Uesugi Tetsu after seeing the spiritual power surging around him.

She leaned back casually on the sofa, closed her eyes and continued to meditate.

About five hours later, Uesugi Che, who had been absorbing and exhaling spiritual energy with all his strength for such a long time, breathed a sigh of relief.

He lowered his gaze, looking at the newly popped-up prompt with a slightly weary look—

[Your skill, Spirit Controlling Skill proficiency +60! ]

[Your skill, Spirit Control, has been upgraded to Mastery level! ]

[Spirit Control Technique (Mastery 2/1000)]

[Effect: Control the energy of heaven and earth, and connect with the spirits of all things.]

[Because your Spirit Control Technique has been upgraded to Mastery, your Spirit Technique +5! ]

[Because your Spirit Control Technique has been upgraded to Mastery, your affinity for spiritual power has increased!]

In just a moment, the "spiritual power pool" in Uesugi Che's body, which was already not shallow, expanded several points again, almost the same as the moment when he first transformed into a three-tailed fox.

At the same time, he could also clearly sense that the spiritual energy in the world was becoming more responsive to his every wish.

Specifically, the speed at which he absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth with the Spirit Control Technique had increased by 20%, plus the bonus from the Spirit Control Technique's mastery level...

A rough estimate shows that his spiritual energy absorption speed should have reached more than 900 times the standard value.

"So it's a problem with the Spirit Control Technique?"

Uesugi Tetsu keenly discovered the key point.

He had read many classics, but had never found any Yin-Yang magic that could increase a person's affinity with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth - as if the affinity was determined at birth.

But the art of controlling spirits can do this.

In addition to this, the efficiency of the Spirit Control Technique in absorbing spiritual energy is unknown to be much higher than those miscellaneous Yin-Yang techniques.

Although the spirit control technique seems to be only able to absorb spiritual energy and communicate with some spiritual creatures.

"Great Yin-Yang Technique..."

Uesugi Tetsu understood that the Yin-Yang magic that could be named with these four words was definitely the treasure hidden in the box of a hidden Yin-Yang master family.

Therefore, it is better to show off the Spirit Controlling Technique and the Five Thunder Method·Qi He in front of others less often in the future.

This is not only for yourself, but also to prevent netizens on the other side of the screen from getting into trouble.

"Lilizi, I'm going to rest first."

Walking back from the balcony, Uesugi Tetsu looked at the girl who had been motionless for five hours and said.

He motioned for Erchidai, who was playing with his phone, to follow him. Seeing the clock on the wall pointing to midnight, he turned back and said, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"—take your time. It's faster."

Uesugi Tetsu brought Nishaku-sama into the room. Everything was ready. He planned to completely open up Rugetsu Station that night.

In the quiet living room, the girl with a calm expression opened her eyes, responded almost silently, and then continued to fight with the imaginary enemy.

……

The water pressure this time was extremely low, hardly causing Uesugi Che to feel any pressure.

——So, the current water pressure changes are random?

He landed at Rugetsu Station, which was unchanged from the last time he came in. After walking into the convenience store, Uesugi Tetsu confirmed that the copy had not been refreshed again.

"It seems that Ye Chun is still very obedient..."

Uesugi Tetsu transformed into a four-tailed fox and looked at his reflection in the glass and thought for a while.

I don’t know if she was obedient or if my appearance was too lethal.

"Two feet, sir."

Uesugi Che shouted, and let the girl wearing a white hat and with a faint Buddha light constantly appearing behind her head fall beside him.

"Can you still locate the driver?"

"Yes, it is possible." Erchisama closed his eyes and tried to sense it for a moment, "But the location is a little vague. I may have to look for it again after I get there."

"It doesn't matter. Let's find him first."

Uesugi Tetsu gestured for Nishaku-sama to sit on his shoulders - if she were to walk by herself, the overall progress would be much slower.

Although this amount of time is actually nothing, it is best to reduce the variables as much as possible.

"Great!"

As soon as Ershaku-sama sat down, Uesugi Che felt that the two furry ears on his head were severely affected, and a tingling sensation continued to come.

He decisively transformed into White Prajna, causing Lord Erchi's originally nimble and wandering hands to fall into the air.

Anyway, I didn’t come here to make friends, so it didn’t matter if I just stared at Bai Prajna’s face and hurried on.

"Stop making trouble. If you see a demon blocking the road, beat the drum."

Uesugi Tetsu took out the [Life and Death Taiko] from his storage backpack and handed the small black and white Taiko to the two-foot-tall master above his head.

"Pooh! I will not let Master Che down!"

After nodding vigorously towards Uesugi Tetsu, Master Nishaku felt the scenery around him quickly become blurred.

A huge centrifugal feeling came, and Nishaku-sama, who felt like he was about to fly, subconsciously grabbed the two horns above Uesugi Tetsu's head as if he were grabbing a steering wheel.

The corners of Uesugi Tetsu's eyes twitched slightly as the two roots above his head were tightly pulled, but after confirming that Nishaku-sama did not make any unnecessary movements, he let her go.

Thanks to Bai Prajna's powerful body, he was able to run very fast. In less than an hour, Uesugi Che arrived at the sensing range of Ershaku-sama's curse mark.

"Is it around here?"

"Uh-huh!"

Lord Erchi clenched the horns in his hands, frowned, and tried to sense them. Then he pointed to the forest on the right: "Lord Che, it should be over there."

Uesugi Che nodded silently, lowered his footsteps, and quickly disappeared into the dark and dense forest beside the mountain path.

Within two minutes, he found the SUV parked on a relatively wide area of ground.
