In Tokyo, I draw cards and become a big demon

She raised her finger and interrupted the thoughts of the two people present with a resonant sound wave: "Spirit Condensation Technique and Jade Heart Technique."

The girl looked at Shizuma Mafuyu, who looked very weak and frail. "Sister Mafuyu, you can also try to learn it. It will be good for your staying up late and your recovery."

Shizuma Mafuyu hugged her knees and nodded seriously.

Uesugi Tetsu, who had already placed the two demon incarnations, Bai Prajna and Sanwei Fox, in the queue for upgrading to two stars, glanced at the amount of soul ashes and soul-soothing incense ashes he had left.

【Soul Ash: 681】

[Soul-soothing Incense Ashes (Small) x 3, Soul-soothing Incense Ashes (Micro) x 6]

After returning to bed last night, Uesugi Che used up 400 soul ash in the initial half-star card pool and drew 40 shots.

A total of 28 portions of Requiem Incense Ashes (micro), 6 portions of Requiem Incense Ashes (small), and 5 pieces of gray-quality junk equipment were drawn.

And one last little prop that might be of some use.

At this moment, as Lilizi said "teaching is about to begin", the two different sizes of soul-soothing incense ashes in the storage backpack actually lit up at the same time.

Previously, Requiem Incense Ashes (Small) were unusable.

"Is it because my attributes have improved after I obtained a new incarnation?"

Uesugi Tetsu thought this idea made sense, because the ashes of the requiem incense (micro) had already refreshed his five senses.

If I had used the Soul-Soothing Incense Ashes (Small) with my previous weak body, my soul might have died.

Uesugi Tetsu stared at the lit requiem incense ash (small), and his hands couldn't help but itch: "How about trying this?"

The buttons are all lit up, how can I not click them?

As soon as he thought of this, Uesugi Tetsu immediately used his mind to click hard.

——Soul-soothing incense ash (small), use!

Wow – Wow –

The sound of something flowing, neither solid nor liquid, passed by Uesugi Che's ears, like hundreds of rivers rushing into the sea.

He subconsciously reached out and grabbed a strand of it, carefully twisted it up, and held it in front of his eyes to examine it carefully.

A translucent "substance" thinner than a hair floated at his fingertips with the ubiquitous tide.

It's spiritual power.

Although the spiritual power between heaven and earth was originally invisible and intangible, and even if it could be felt, it could not be touched, for some reason Uesugi Tetsu suddenly felt that he could do it.

As a result, he really captured a ray of spiritual power.

huh-huh-

Inside the body, beneath the sound of blood circulating in the limbs and bones, there is another substance that is constantly blending and rubbing against them, emitting a slight sound of heat.

Uesugi Tetsu knew that it was the "qi" or "qi" of the corona in his body.

Just when he wanted to imitate the way he captured spiritual power and carefully examine what the so-called Qi looked like, he felt waves of pain in his head.

"hiss--"

Uesugi Tetsu's brows twitched slightly, and he understood how much of a burden the use of the Soul-Resting Incense Ash (Small) would place on the body and brain.

Just the thought of him subconsciously doing something new and unusual was enough to give him a headache. If it had happened before, wouldn't he have been paralyzed by the terrifying amount of data?

If the Soul Requiem Incense Ashes (Micro) will improve the image quality from 1080p to 4k, then the Soul Requiem Incense Ashes (Small) will improve it to 8k!

Everything is clearly visible!

Uesugi Tetsu just glanced at them and subconsciously knew the height, weight, and measurements of Ririko and Shizuma Mafuyu...

"evil--"

Lilizi immediately noticed this sudden appearance, as if he had stripped her naked like a lamb without any explanation, and immediately covered her chest with her hands and glared back fiercely.

But Uesugi Tetsu not only did not look away, but stared even deeper.

He had never realized before that Lilizi was so... beautiful.

His breathing, as precise as a machine, matched the flow of his blood. All the Qi in his body performed its function, without a single drop wasted. Every beat of his heart made the Qi and blood blend more tightly, becoming indistinguishable from one another.

Everything that Lilizi does is an unremitting and full effort to push her deeper into the "path of cultivation".

In comparison, apart from the fact that he had the advantage of being proficient in working hard, he was completely incomparable to her.

Lilizi clenched her fists and said, "Hey! Look again or I'll poke your eyes out!"

Uesugi Tetsu murmured subconsciously: "So beautiful..."

Even being angry or talking would not reduce his training efficiency in the slightest. If it were in the past, Uesugi Che would just curse at a curly dog!

But when he was able to observe and learn, the beauty of such efficiency almost made Uesugi Che drool.

The masterpiece of the God of Cultivation was sitting right in front of him, and he had never even noticed it before!

——I want to observe her, I want to touch her, I want to possess everything about her, I want to keep her right in front of me until I squeeze out all her value...

"Ugh?"

Lilizi was stunned when she heard the unexpected answer. Her breathing became disordered for a moment, as if a fierce punch had knocked Uesugi Tetsu out of this strange and bizarre state.

I go!

Uesugi Che felt a chill in his heart and goose bumps appeared all over his body.

Chapter 103: On the 1st of the month, the first wave arrives

what's the situation? !

Uesugi Tetsu felt nauseous when he recalled his previous thoughts. Is this something a normal person would think of?

He fixed his gaze on the glittering status bar—the buff of Requiem Incense Ash (Small) was still lasting.

No need to think about it, it was definitely caused by using this thing.

Uesugi Che calmed his mind and tried his best to keep his heart calm.

He looked at Lilizi again and found that she was still very beautiful in his current vision, but the alternative thoughts similar to those just now did not pop up in his mind again.

Uesugi Che breathed a sigh of relief.

If he had fallen into this state before his attributes were upgraded, or before he had learned the "Skill: Zanxin", he couldn't guarantee how long it would take him to get out of that strange state.

What will become of Lilizi? Will it break? It’s hard to say.

Fortunately, Lilizi exerted force at the critical moment, changing his breathing rhythm and allowing him to regain his sanity.

At this moment, Lilizi's voice interrupted Uesugi Tetsu's thoughts.

"Uesugi-kun, did you just say something?"

"Ah, no..."

Uesugi Tetsu shook his head, and after confirming that he was basically normal, he said, "We can talk about the extra things later. Training is the most important thing."

Lilizi likes this attitude very much.

Then all the unpleasantness that had just occurred before he came here disappeared.

She cleared her throat and explained in detail to the two people in the kendo hall the two techniques she had studied to control the "spirit, energy and spirit".

“In essence, the core of both techniques is to master the essence, qi and spirit of the human body.

"The Jade Heart Technique gathers the overflowing essence, energy, and spirit, making the body a nearly flawless entity. This way, the Soul Condensing Technique can more effectively utilize them, whether for long-term nourishment of the body or for a short-term fight against demons..."

Having said that, Lilizi glanced at Uesugi Tetsu, who blinked in understanding.

This is roughly the same as what Uesugi Tetsu thought, but Lilizi thought more deeply and had a clearer understanding of the principles.

Because she was in a teaching state, the girl had a blank expression on her face, but she was still grinning in her heart - it felt good to have someone understand what she was saying before she even said it out loud.

After a pause, Lilizi continued, "Regarding the three elements of essence, energy, and spirit, they are actually not only related to my two techniques. They are likely also deeply related to the [Breathing Method]."

She sighed regretfully, "What a pity, there are no experts in this field to teach me systematically."

Because although Kondo Tomoya also practiced the Coronal Breathing Technique, and had cultivated it to an extremely high and skilled level, he even reached the terrifying level where just a single breath could make Ririko so hot that she suffocated.

but!

Tomoya Kondo also just practiced according to the Coronal Breathing Method, and is a typical example of "knowing what it is but not why it is."

However, Ririkko felt that this was normal, because Kondo Tomoya held a high position and was busy with official business every day, making it difficult for him to practice, and most of his remaining energy was only enough to support him in studying swordsmanship.

If I try to study breathing techniques seriously again, I will probably end up in a dilemma.

In terms of swordsmanship, Ririkozaki still admits that she is far inferior to Kondo Daizu.

Lilizi sorted out the fragmented knowledge in her mind for a while before saying to them,

"First, we need to look at the three separately. 'Jing' represents the physical body, 'Qi' is everywhere, and I'm still not sure what it is, and 'Shen' is the human consciousness."

Lilizi snapped her fingers.

"If you look at it from this perspective, then both the swordsmanship training and the breathing technique training are clear at a glance."

"For example, if my swordsmanship level is very high, then practicing swordsmanship will be twice as effective with half the effort. This is a typical 'spiritual' linkage.

The breathing method trains the Qi. Using the Qi to move the body is a synergy between the "Essence" and "Qi," but at the same time, the "Spirit" aspect will gradually decline.

Lilizi took out the bamboo sword and said to them,

"—This is also why most breathing techniques practitioners need to practice a different technique. This is not only to enhance combat power, but also to strengthen consciousness and prevent a significant gap between the body and consciousness."

"Having said this, we must consider the three mutually reinforcing elements as a whole, and not neglect any one of them..."

With the blessing of the soul-soothing incense ash, Uesugi Che nodded in understanding, and looked at the prompts that kept popping up in front of him, and couldn't help but be amazed.

[Tokugawa Ririko is teaching you the Jade Heart Technique...]

[Tokugawa Ririko is teaching you the art of spiritual cultivation...]

[Tokugawa Ririkō is teaching you the basics: the spirit, energy, and soul, the trinity...]

[Your proficiency in Coronal Breathing is increasing...]

[Your kendo state of mind is slightly improving...]

Just by sitting down and listening to the class, you can get a lot of tips. Lilizi deserves the title of treasure girl.

It was hard for Uesugi Tetsu to imagine how Ririko could come up with all these things without the help of the ashes of the requiem incense, and even teach them to others.

He glanced at Shizuma Mafuyu who was standing beside him and found that although she was taking class notes seriously, it was obvious that the confusion on her face betrayed her.

Half an hour later.

Shizuma Mafuyu's face turned pale. Even though she was a top student at the University of Tokyo, she felt dizzy and confused after hearing what she heard.

She felt that Lilizi had been talking about theoretical basics all the time, and had not explained any practical skills at all - that is, she had not told her what to do or when to do it, but had only told her "what to do".

It's like being asked to play an incredibly complex strategy game that has been stripped of all its tutorials.

To put it this way, it is just like a castle in the air with a golden exterior but rotten interior. It can do nothing except look good and sound good.

Shizuma Mafuyu looked at the boy on the other side and said, "I'm sure Uesugi-kun thinks the same way..."

Lilizi: "Uesugi-kun, do you understand?"

[You have learned the skill Jade Heart Technique.]

[You have learned the skill of soul-enriching.]

[Your sword state of mind has slightly improved.]

[Your skill, Corona Breathing proficiency +100! ]

Your understanding of the trinity of basic knowledge, spirit, energy, and soul has deepened.

Uesugi Che glanced at the series of prompts and gave her a thumbs up without hesitation.

"I completely understand. As expected of Teacher Lilizi, her words are concise, her ideas are clear, and her speaking speed is moderate! Please give me another one next time."

Lilizi crossed her arms and said, "Hehe, of course."

This scene made Shizuma Mafuyu's next words come back to her.

She lowered her head in thought for a moment, then stood up and smiled gently, "Let me get you some water, Miss Tokugawa. You must be thirsty after talking for so long."

Lilizi clasped her fingers together and said in a low voice, "Sister Manfuyu, you are so considerate. Love~"
