In Tokyo, I draw cards and become a big demon

Uesugi Tetsu felt that Shizuma Manfuyu didn't want to go out to get water.

But it doesn't matter. They are adults working in the workplace. This little blow is probably not as big as delaying their get off work by half an hour.

Let's first look at what I've learned from the rapid CPU operation and the lesson I learned from Lilizi.

【Jade Heart Secret】

[Effect: Concentrates all spirits that differ from those of ordinary people, making the practitioner's appearance more ordinary.]

[——If you are too self-centered, you will have no friends.]

The effect of the Jade Heart Technique is very obvious, so obvious that after Uesugi Che learned it, when he took out his mobile phone and opened the selfie, he started to doubt whether the person in the selfie was himself.

The approximate effect is equivalent to turning Uesugi Tetsu from a "very handsome, gloomy, muscular tall man" into a "muscular passerby who is okay in every way but has no highlights at all."

Although the charm attribute on the panel has not changed, the external performance has dropped by at least 2-3 points.

Uesugi Tetsu sighed: "This skill is really amazing..."

It can directly turn a powerful person with a strong presence into an ordinary passerby, and can be regarded as a necessary skill for backstab and sneak attack - in this way, it seems that Lilizi's original intention of creating it is secondary.

Look down.

【Spirit Condensation Technique】

[Effect: Gradually accumulates energy over time, nourishing the body slowly or bursting out in an instant.]

[——Some battles can be ended with just one sword.]

Lilizi, who previously had a strength of only about one star, was able to repel and even injure the two-and-a-half-star Nue with one move by relying on the art of soul-containment.

Even when not fighting, Uesugi Tetsu could feel that this skill was constantly making his body more... rounder, smoother?

In short, it was as wonderful as if [Physical Strength +1] would pop up above my head every second.

Uesugi Tetsu once again looked at his proficiency in the three hard-working skills he currently possessed.

[Coronal Breathing (Beginner 670/1400)]

【Natural Rinpoche Flow (Proficient 420/1000)】

[Spirit Control Technique (Undergraduate 80/100)]

Among them, although his proficiency in Coronal Breathing is high, it is still a long way from being promoted to the next level. However, his Natural Reasoning Flow and Spirit Controlling Technique are about to break through.

Among them, the art of controlling spirits was impossible to practice before because the spiritual attributes were too low. Now that the spiritual attributes have increased a lot, I should be able to break through with just some practice.

However, Uesugi Tetsu did not hold much hope for this.

To put it simply, the art of controlling spirits is "manipulating spiritual objects", and the Nanjo doll does not need to be controlled by oneself. It will run out to protect him when encountering danger.

To put it another way, maybe the spirit control technique can become very powerful in the later stages, but if it is only at the entry level, it will not be of much help to Uesugi Tetsu.

But the natural rational flow is different.

Currently, the natural rational flow is only 80 points away from proficiency before it can be upgraded to the mastery level using the "Performance Scroll". After a good rest, I will have a sword fight with Lilizi and that will be it.

Uesugi Che looked at the girl who had just finished teaching and was resting with her eyes closed with a faint steam coming out of her head, and did not disturb her.

He also closed his eyes to rest. He had just absorbed too much knowledge, and the buff of the soul-soothing incense ash was gradually fading.

Later I will need to fight with Lilizi with swords and even explore the world of Changshi, so it is important to restore my energy in time.

A few minutes later, Shizuma Mafuyu walked in with three bottles of iced mineral water.

She didn't say anything after seeing that the two people in the gym were resting with their eyes closed. She tiptoed and gently placed the mineral water next to them after unscrewing the bottle cap and then closing it.

"Thanks. ×2"

Just as Shizuma Mafuyu was about to sit down and continue studying the contents of her notes, she heard a chorus of thanks.

She smiled helplessly. Perhaps only with such tacit understanding could Uesugi-kun understand Miss Tokugawa's teachings so easily.

But since both of them were awake, Shizuma Mafuyu took out her phone, clicked on the picture and said to them,

"Recently, a JK with four heads has been appearing at train stations late at night. Also, the number of crazy people and mentally ill people in Arakawa District has increased a lot, so you should be careful."

Four JKs?

When Uesugi Tetsu heard the key words, his eyebrows raised. Wasn't this the person he had beheaded on the train? He didn't expect that he would run out of the train and into the human world now.

There are also mental illnesses... It turns out that Shizuma Manfuyu didn't know that those people were the seeds of love and separation.

In that case, there is no need for Uesugi Tetsu to say anything more - Nanjo Aimi's choice to do this must have her own intentions or those of the Special Affairs Department's senior management.

After nodding in response, Uesugi Tetsu gulped down half a bottle of water, used the Soul-Resting Incense Ash (micro), and raised the bamboo sword towards Riliko.

I didn't use the small requiem incense ash because it puts too much strain on the mind, and I just had a problem.

It's just a few dozen points of proficiency difference, and Uesugi Che doesn't want to make a big deal out of it.

The girl twisted her neck, removed the Jade Heart Technique disguise, and pointed the tip of her bamboo sword directly at his face: "Come!"

The two bamboo swords collided fiercely, making a crisp sound.

After looking at the two of them with a hint of envy for a while, Shizuma Mafuyu sat quietly aside, struggling to perform her half-baked breathing method while biting the pen cap to study her notes.

——How to practice breathing techniques and gather energy are just a series of topics. They may be very difficult to understand at present and make people feel at a loss as to where to start, but as time goes by, the flaws will eventually be revealed.

Just like thousands of times before, she conquered it alone.

Then summarize, classify, and explain everything about the practice of breathing techniques from the simplest to the most complex, like peeling off layers of onion.

Then, Shizuma Manfuyu will ensure that ordinary people like her will not be excluded by the threshold of "talent".

Shizuma Mafuyu knew that this was difficult, and it was even more difficult alone.

But she wanted to try.

……

Half an hour later.

After being knocked to the ground by Ririkko's sword like a spinning top, Uesugi Tetsu showed a smile as if he had harvested a lot.

——Natural rational flow, breakthrough!

He was just about to let out a long sigh and reach for the mineral water bottle behind him when he found a bottle of iced cola being stuffed into his hand.

Uesugi Tetsu looked up and saw Shizuma Mafuyu winking at him: "You must be tired from training, so you need to replenish some sugar."

Across from her, Lilizi was already happily drinking the happy water, letting out a comfortable cry as if she were chugging beer: "Wow! It feels so good! How about you, Sister Zhendong, be my mom!"

Taking the Coke, Uesugi Tetsu scratched his head: "I always feel a little embarrassed to let Ms. Jingjian, a patient, busy all the time."

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, Uesugi-kun." Shizuma Manfuyu smiled. "I have no talent for Onmyoji, and my breathing techniques aren't very good either. As another young subordinate put it, I'm 'born to be an errand boy.'"

"From now on, you may have to risk your lives to face those terrifying and abnormal demons, but I can't provide you with any help directly."

Shizuma Mafuyu looked at him and said seriously,

"So please don't feel embarrassed. Just leave these trivial matters to me."

Facing the serious Shizuma Mafuyu in front of him, Uesugi Tetsu remembered the first time he saw her at the school gate.

——Compared to that time, not only did Shizuma Mafuyu's muscles become much sharper, but even her aura had undergone a fundamental change. She had completely transformed from a female intern who had just entered the society to a qualified Special Affairs Department agent.

But it’s only been a few days since she started working?

A week? Maybe not yet.

Uesugi Tetsu couldn't help but sigh: "Sister Manfuyu, you are amazing."

Shizuma Mafuyu shook her head. "They're just little things that can be accomplished with effort. They're nothing special. You should use these words to praise Nanjo-sama."

He is definitely Nanjo-san's sole supporter.

After watching her sit down alone beside him, not knowing what to do, Uesugi Tetsu drank his Coke and checked the prompts for the Natural Rational Flow breakthrough.

[Your skill, Swordsmanship: Natural Rishin Flow, has been upgraded to Mastery level!]

【Natural Rational Flow (Mastery 0/3000)】

[Effect: A towering building rises from the ground. This is the first and most important cornerstone on the path to becoming a Sword Saint.]

[Because your natural rational flow has been upgraded to mastery level, your physical strength is increased by 3!]

[Because your natural rational flow has been upgraded to mastery level, the damage of all your sword moves has increased! ]

[Because your natural rational flow has been upgraded to mastery level, your willpower has increased by 2, and your kendo state of mind has been significantly improved!]

This time, no new postures or moves flooded into Uesugi Che's mind. He only felt that his understanding of all the moves he had mastered had deepened by more than one point.

At the same time, I felt a closer connection with the bamboo sword in my hand, and I was able to wield the sword more easily. This must be an important symbol of taking a step towards the state of "unity of man and sword".

"My control over power has also become more refined..."

After receiving a full 3 points of physical strength bonus, Uesugi Tetsu instantly became vigorous again, and wanted to pick up the sword to fight with Riliko for another three hundred rounds.

However, after looking at the tired girl who had already sat down and started meditating, Uesugi Tetsu decided to let her go for the time being.

We cannot exhaust the resources of this precious swordsmanship teacher; sustainable development is the most important thing.

He remembered that there was a demon in Ruyue Station who had once killed him to the point where he had no chance to fight back.

Now, it's time to let it understand what it means to be away for three days.

Uesugi Che touched his chin and smiled: "Grandpa High Speed, that's quite interesting."

He sat aside and closed his eyes.

The water pressure felt like a gentle breeze blowing across your face.

The three-tailed fox, wearing white tabi and tall wooden sandals, landed on the dusty platform and put on the lifelike, bleak demon mask at its waist.

"These clogs always feel weird to wear..."

Uesugi Tetsu took two steps and twisted his ankle out of habit.

However, the wooden shoes that the three-tailed fox carries seem to have the effect of slightly increasing its running speed. Even the seemingly inconspicuous tabi can automatically remove dirt, keeping the feet dry and fresh at all times.

Between the beauty of wearing comfort and strength, Uesugi Tetsu undoubtedly chose the latter.

After checking at a convenience store and confirming that Rugetsu Station had not yet reopened, Uesugi Che rushed to where Grandpa Highway was.

On the way, Uesugi Tetsu did not change to the White Prajna incarnation to speed up the journey, but used the time to get used to the three-tailed fox incarnation, which was still a bit awkward to use.

"It seems that I have to learn some Yin-Yang magic later."

After Uesugi Che released his talent "Bewitching" towards a scattered demon, he sighed when he saw that it was just spinning around in a daze and did not obey his orders.

The talent of Bewitching should only be used as an instant control skill, but it is still effective when combined with the passive control effect of Prajna Mask.

Now, even if the folding fan and the rattle are included, there are only four types of "Yin Yang Magic" that he can use.

I heard from Lilizi before that a Yin-Yang master who practices the four paths and five elements normally will master at least seven or eight kinds of Yin-Yang magic.

In comparison, although the Yin-Yang magic he mastered was quite powerful and could be cast instantly, there were too few methods and a lack of reasonable changes.

Not long after, the three-tailed fox, with a physical strength of forty-one points, arrived at the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar railway tracks.

Uesugi Che did not get close to the railway tracks nor did he hear Grandpa Gao's shouting, but he felt the unusual yet steady fluctuation of spiritual power from afar.

"Haven't you noticed me yet?"

After Uesugi Tetsu released the Hundred Eyes Demon Eyeball, he took out the Komainu rattle and said, "In that case, don't blame me for using you as a test subject."

Jingle bell bell~

A faint ringing sound was heard.

Two huge Komainu with strong limbs, dark armor, and sharp and ferocious eyes emerged from the void and landed lightly beside Uesugi Tetsu.

When they saw Uesugi Tetsu, they immediately made friendly "wooo" sounds and squatted on both sides of him.

Looking at these two majestic beasts that were almost as tall as his thighs, Uesugi Che couldn't help but exclaim "Ah".

Is this still the same little Komainu that was as long as a forearm and woven with straw?

A moment later, a sign popped up above the two dogs' heads—

[Komainu Soldier (1.5 stars)]

One and a half stars!

The Komainu summoned when transforming into a three-tailed fox is surprisingly powerful.

You have to know that the three-tailed fox's incarnation is only one and a half stars. Even though Uesugi Tetsu's combat power cannot be simply measured by star level, being able to summon two Komainu of the same star is definitely a considerable help.
