Chu Zhong simply couldn't keep up; one pair of eyes wasn't enough to take it all in...

Chapter 8 The Holy Grail Mana Repair Plan

"ah--!!!"

After a brief silence, Ran Mouri's piercing scream echoed through the martial arts room.

Bang Bang Bang!

There was constant knocking on the door.

"What happened?!"

Kogoro Mori kept turning the door lock.

Fortunately, Chu Zhong had been careful and locked the door from the inside when he closed it.

Otherwise, if Kogoro Mori were to rush in now, the situation would immediately explode!

Bang Bang Bang!

Kogoro Mouri started banging on the door, making a huge commotion.

The flimsy door probably won't last long.

"Calm down if you don't want Detective Mouri to find out!"

Chu Zhong moved closer to Ran Mouri and gave her a low, stern reminder.

"!"

Ran Mouri then came to her senses, turned around, and began to straighten her clothes.

Whether out of embarrassment or panic, the girl was flustered and made slow progress.

Chu Zhong was getting anxious.

Bang Bang Bang!

"You brat! How dare you bully Xiaolan! I'll kill you!"

The banging on the door grew louder, and Kogoro Mori shouted even louder.

The door was slammed shut and bent into an arc, and a faint, ominous tearing sound could be heard.

If we don't hurry up and do something, we'll really have trouble explaining ourselves later!

"Sorry……"

Chu Zhong strode forward, quickly helped Ran Mouri put the E-level experience pack that had run out back in its original place, fastened the back buckle, and hastily tidied up her clothes.

During this time, Ran Mouri was clearly shocked by this action, standing there dumbfounded, like a life-sized beautiful girl doll being manipulated.

This would make it convenient for Chu Zhong to help.

Bang-!

The door was smashed open by the violent impact.

"Bad boy!!!"

Kogoro Mori burst into the martial arts room, heading straight for Chu Zhong.

then……

Boom-! ! !

Chu Zhong delivered a beautiful over-the-shoulder throw, slamming him to the floor.

"Detective Mori, calm down..."

"What are you trying to calm down for?! You brat, how dare you bully Xiaolan!"

"What do you mean?" Chu Zhong took two steps back, creating some distance, and looked completely innocent.

Even if it were true, it would be purely a coincidence...

Over-the-shoulder throws involve a large range of motion, with three pulls and falls, inevitably leading to some minor accidents.

"Lan, did this kid bully you?"

Seeing that Chu Zhong wouldn't admit it, Kogoro turned to his daughter and said, "Tell Dad that I can put this kid in jail with just one phone call!"

It was only then that Ran Mouri came to her senses.

He quickly lowered his head and swayed it from side to side.

What just happened is impossible to tell...

Especially for Kogoro Mouri...

Kogoro Mouri frowned, his eyes full of doubt. "How could nothing have happened when you were shouting so loudly?!"

Ran Mouri was speechless for a moment.

"Ahem," Chu Zhong explained, "Actually, Miss Xiao Lan lost to the same move three times in a row, which she found hard to accept. She was depressed and shouted to vent her frustration..."

"Really?" Kogoro Mouri asked, half believing and half doubting.

Ran Mouri, with her head down, nodded slightly.

But then, Kogoro Mouri bent down and noticed his daughter's unusual expression. "Ran, your face is so red..."

Then his daughter pushed him.

Caught off guard, Kogoro Mouri was violently pushed and stumbled, falling to the ground.

"What's all the fuss about!"

Ran Mouri raised her pretty face, which was flushed red, and said, "When sparring, it's perfectly normal to blush a little when your blood rushes to your head!"

"I'm going to change my clothes!"

After saying that, he ran out of the martial arts room.

Kogoro Mouri scratched his head, looking confused, and then turned to look at Chu Zhong.

"Miss Xiaolan has sparred with me three times, and she lost in one move each time."

Chu Zhong continued to explain: "As a champion, losing so thoroughly is certainly hard to accept, and it's normal to have an overreaction."

This made some sense, and Kogoro Mouri's distrust lessened considerably.

After all, when he sparred with Chu Zhong just now, Kogoro Mouri was also knocked down in the blink of an eye, without any time to react.

In the women's changing room,

"..."

Ran Mouri was changing back into her original clothes, but her forehead was getting increasingly hot.

The area around my heart felt constantly hot, as if someone had added fuel to the fire.

"Seriously... this is too much..."

In the martial arts room,

"Guest, please don't make a fuss over nothing, okay?"

"I almost called the police just now..."

The dojo owner stared resentfully at Kogoro Mouri, who had just smashed through the door.

While apologizing, Kogoro Mouri also tried to negotiate the price for repairing the door.

Chu Zhong looked down at his palm and couldn't help but sniff it a few times.

There was a faint, lingering fragrance...

But more importantly, there's the reward the system just gave out!

Defeat the Demon King, Ran Mouri.

A bright golden light was absorbed by Chu Zhong.

[Gained 20000 experience points, 20000 spiritual energy]

Current Spiritual Energy: 20000

I defeated Ran Mouri three times with the over-the-shoulder throw. Except for the first time when I used it normally, the next two times I used it by consuming spiritual energy to refresh the skill. I also used it on Kogoro once, spending a total of 900 spiritual energy.

900 spiritual essences yielded a return of 20000, that's an incredible profit!

[Level Up! Current Level: 4 → 11]

[7 skill point gained upon level up]

As expected of a demon king-level being, the massive amount of experience allowed Chu Zhong to level up 7 times in a row!

Open the enhanced branch of the Immobilization Spell:

Extended Immobilization: Each level increases immobilization duration by 5% and mana cost by 10%, up to a maximum of 5 levels.

Increase damage: Increases damage by 5% and mana cost by 10% per level, up to a maximum of 5 levels.

Reduce mana cost: Reduces mana cost by 10% per level, up to a maximum of 5 levels.

All five skills were directly invested in 'Reduce Cost'.

Use the remaining 2 skill points to further enhance the skill level.

"Immobilization Spell": Level 7

Effect: Immobilizes the enemy for a moment; the weaker the target, the longer the duration.

Cost: 25 mana

Enhanced Branch: Level 5 Reduces mana cost (-50%)

Originally, with a mana cap of 100, you can only use the Immobilize spell twice.

Now it can be used four times!

Survival ability greatly increased!

[Unlock Equipment Forging: Celestial Grade Golden Body Set]

Set bonus: Restores a small amount of mana on a critical strike.

'Restore mana?!'

Chu Zhong was stunned for a moment.

Looking at the equipment in the game, none of them have the effect of restoring mana.

The effects of this golden armor set differ from those in the game.

However, being able to restore mana means being able to increase the number of times the immobilization spell can be used, which is a good thing.

'But since it's a critical hit, a fight is inevitable. As for weapons...'

Chu Zhong thought of the only beginner weapon, the willow stick, which had become unconventional due to a system malfunction.

Unless you use a willow stick...

Suddenly, Chu Zhong thought of a mana replenishment method from a certain Holy Grail War.

It does have a somewhat similar feel to it.

Could it be a characteristic of the Japanese cherry blossom country?

Unfortunately, we currently lack the materials to craft the Golden Body Set.

Let's look at the next system message:
