The demon monk in the second dimension

“I think a hat suits you better than a wig.”

"That's not why!"

Saitama said, embarrassed and annoyed.

"A friend of mine and Cha Lanzi were both seriously injured, and I went to see them today. Then I learned that Cha Lanzi had signed up for the martial arts tournament, which has a prize of three million!"

“I want to buy a wig similar to Chalanzi’s, compete under his name, and win the money.”

"But you're an S-class hero now, you'll be spotted as soon as you enter the arena, right?"

Xia Zhi couldn't understand why Saitama, who had already become an S-class hero, was still so short of money.

"Three million shouldn't be a lot for you right now. The monthly allowance for an S-class hero and the allowance for a B-class hero are completely different things!"

Chapter 154 Encountering a Hungry Wolf, a Warning from the World Consciousness

"is it?"

Saitama paused for a moment, but still felt he should give it a try.

"Three million isn't a small amount, let's give it a try."

"There's no need to buy a wig and pretend to be Chalanzi."

Xia Zhi shook her head.

"You can ask Genos to help you look into what this martial arts competition is all about, and then directly tell the organizers that you want to participate. You're a newly promoted S-class hero, and participating in this kind of martial arts competition will also help them gain fame. The organizers shouldn't be stingy in giving you a special invitation to participate."

"Is this still possible?"

Saitama had a look on his face that said he had learned something.

Just then, a figure suddenly rushed out of the darkness.

"So you've replaced the old man's Thunder Fist? Let me see what you're really capable of!"

A black shadow flashed, and a hand chop equivalent to a Golden Core martial artist struck down, slashing at Xia Zhi's shoulder.

boom!

Xia Zhi stood still, looking at the person who had come.

The other person had a silver, twin-horned broom-like hairstyle, and his black bodysuit was covered in scars, revealing his streamlined muscles underneath.

His extremely conspicuous attire immediately made Xia Zhi recognize his identity.

"Hungry wolf?"

"How can it be!"

His full-force attack landed on Lei Guangquan, but the opponent was completely unharmed?

"I am no match for you!"

In an instant, the hungry wolf made a judgment and turned to run away.

As a result, Xia Zhi grabbed his arm and twisted the wolf's right arm with a grappling technique.

"Don't run so fast."

Xia Zhi's five fingers dug into the hungry wolf's body like sharp claws, reaching a full finger joint deep, causing the wolf to groan in pain as five bloody holes appeared on its shoulder.

He slammed the hungry wolf to the ground with a bang, creating a crater in the ground, which immediately attracted the attention of those around him.

"These are the S-rank 3rd Lightning Fist and the 18th-ranked Bald Cape Man!"

Is that person a weirdo?

"I saw it! He just attacked Thunder Fist!"

"Press down the hungry wolf," Xia Zhi sneered.

"I told Bang before that if you showed up in front of me, I would kill you without hesitation. And you actually delivered yourself to me!"

The hungry wolf was startled.

Does this guy have a grudge against the old man? So he forced the old man to leave the Hero Association and took his place?

He guessed correctly in the first half, but wrong in the second half.

But Saitama sensed the murderous intent emanating from Xia Zhi.

"Is this the latest hero hunter?"

He spoke to Xia Zhi.

"He's not a weirdo, he's just playing the weirdo game. Don't kill him, okay?"

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Zhi suddenly looked up in surprise.

At that moment, the world's consciousness suddenly paid much more attention to him, as if it were standing aside watching him.

This means that "Don't kill the hungry wolf" is not only Saitama's opinion, but also a warning from the world's consciousness to the summer solstice.

Xia Zhi fell silent.

"In the later stages, Garou could transform into a monster on his own without relying on monster cells, and his strength was comparable to that of a god-level monster. Later, he was also able to revert from monsterization and maintain his sanity."

"So this is the path the world has chosen? To break the limiter by becoming a monster, but at the same time be able to exit the monster state without any side effects?"

"Saitama, who is both a non-monster original and has broken his limiter, is probably the ultimate template for the extraordinary path that the world consciousness expects. The guardians of the world consciousness are the mainstream choice for the extraordinary path in this world, so it's not a big deal."

Xia Zhi doesn't want to leave this world yet, so she has no choice but to let the hungry wolf go.

boom!

He punched the hungry wolf in the head, burying half of his head in the ground and knocking him unconscious.

"Death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be avoided!"

Summer Solstice conjured a small knife and with a few quick slashes, shaved off all of the hungry wolf's silver hair, leaving him completely bald.

"It's done!"

Saitama: →_→

I have a feeling you're implying something!

Having abandoned the hungry wolf, Xia Zhi bid farewell to Saitama and went their separate ways.

……

All the materials Xia Zhi requires to collect must be dropped by Dragon-level monsters.

Clutching several boxes, he arrived at the place where the Asura rhinoceros beetle had been imprisoned, preparing to create a painting depicting a hundred demons parading at night.

For Wuming, who had become a ghost cultivator, the White Bone Banner was merely a temporary dwelling place; the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade Map was the true place suitable for her to live and cultivate.

Without a doubt, the Hundred Bones Night Parade Map, which can store souls, is also a spatial magic treasure.

However, compared to other spatial artifacts that can store almost anything, the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade Scroll can only store souls. At the same time, its creation method is extremely simple and can be achieved in the Foundation Establishment stage.

It's nothing more than using the bones and skin of powerful creatures to make the main body, then soaking it layer by layer with blood, and constantly filling it with soul power.

However, depending on the materials used, a weak Hundred Demons Night Parade can only hold three to five evil spirits, while a powerful Hundred Demons Night Parade, once activated, can unleash ten thousand demons, blotting out the sky and the sun!

After searching through all the bone materials, Xia Zhi found the highest-grade bone among them.

"The Dragon-level monster Hades King's Bones was killed by the S-class hero Genos—isn't that the same pig-headed giant that Saitama defeated?"

Xia Zhi picked up the pile of bones and used her magic to examine them.

"The quality is only at the Nascent Soul level, so-so."

Most of the bones here are equivalent to those of demonic beasts at the Nascent Soul or Golden Core stages. Although they are of a lower level, they are still usable.

Xia Zhi plans to use his own skin and blood from the "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons" painting.

As a cultivator in the Integration Stage, his skin and blood are extremely high-grade demonic materials.

Bone alone won't work; we need something else.

Because Xia Zhi cultivated the Undying Bone technique, she was unable to remove her own bones as materials to be added to the refining process.

This will greatly damage his foundation.

In the spacious and enormous room, Xia Zhi's clothes fell off automatically.

At the same time, Xia Zhi took a step back.

This was an extremely terrifying sight, because when Xia Zhi retreated, his skin did not retreat with him, but remained in place.

This is a piece of white human skin, so white that it is even similar to the color of bones, and it looks extremely intact.

However, very soon, the skin on the muscles exposed during the summer solstice grew back.

Just like a snake shedding its skin, a piece of his human skin floated in mid-air.

Holding a bottle of freshly made King of Biceps, Xia Zhi grabbed the frog man who had been given to her by Genus and whose nerves had been severed, turning him into a plant monster, and poured the potion into his mouth.

Immediately, the frog man's body began to change.

His muscles and bones expanded rapidly, becoming enormous and almost filling the entire room!

Grabbing his own human skin, Xia Zhi flew into the sky.

With a flick of his right hand, he ripped open the frogman's chest, revealing a huge heart beating powerfully inside.

Xia Zhi planted her human skin into the frog man's heart, and then made a hand seal, causing her internal magical power to surge.

Chapter 155: Night Parade of One Hundred Demons

As spells, each shimmering with different lights, were cast into Xia Zhi's human skin, an extremely complex multi-dimensional array appeared on the skin.

Xia Zhi first poured Xia Zhi's soul into the frog man, and then the blood in this huge body began to be slowly absorbed by this human skin.

Then, Xia Zhi extended her right hand.

A gash opened automatically on his wrist, and blood, as beautiful as a ruby ​​and in the shape of a thirty-two-faceted rhombus, dripped down.

After ten drops of his essence blood were released, the wound on Xia Zhi's wrist healed automatically.

Essence blood is different from ordinary blood; it represents the life essence within a living organism, and even flesh-and-blood cultivators don't have much of it.

A single drop of Xia Zhi's essence blood transformed Margley into a Dragon-level monster; ten drops of his essence blood could create a monster comparable to Orochi.

When this essence blood fell into the array on the human skin, it automatically took its place, forming a rectangular pattern that was exactly the same size as Xia Zhi's upper body.

This represents the initial size of the Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons) illustration, which will increase as the quality improves.

Meanwhile, as the formation slowly took effect, Xia Zhi continued to activate the incantation while throwing the other bones into the frog man's ripped-open chest.

His series of actions were not only about creating the "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons" illustration, but also about improving its quality.

As time passed, the frogman's body rapidly withered away.

The essence of this body was completely devoured by Xia Zhi's skin, and even the bone marrow was pierced out little by little, and was even wrapped up by the human skin.

Finally, only useless waste residue is spat out.

During this process, Xia Zhi often casts spells to arrange some bones into square shapes.

While this does not diminish the power of the Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons) scroll, it does affect its aesthetic appeal.

Finally, after seven days, the painting of a hundred demons parading at night was completed.

It is 64.6 cm long and 32.3 cm wide. Its four corners are woven from fine, blood-red bones, forming the head shapes of four fierce beasts: Taotie, Qiongqi, Taowu, and Hundun.

It looks just like an ancient painting.

Since there are no souls or evil spirits inside, the picture is completely white.

Touching his own human skin and feeling its smooth texture, Xia Zhi examined the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade picture.

"Although my skin and essence blood were used, the quality of the bones is still too poor. They can only hold the souls of 200,000 people at most, and can only accommodate ghost generals at the Nascent Soul stage."

"At the same time, it will lose its effect of accelerating cultivation for Nascent Soul stage ghosts, but it is enough for Wuming for the time being."

After all, Wuming is not even at the Golden Core stage yet, and it's unknown how long it will take for him to reach the Nascent Soul stage.

However, once inside the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade, Wuming will become something like a spirit, and it's best not to remain in the body for as long as he does now.
