I became the Lord of the Eternal World in Tokyo.

In an instant, the world changed.

The wind was blowing hundreds of meters away, the insects were chirping crisply at the foot of the mountain, the light on the horizon was constantly changing its angle as it rose and refracted, and the pores of the young people jogging several kilometers away were clearly visible...

The next moment, Uesugi Tetsu almost lost his footing and fell to the ground.

Everything, everything, is because of...

After transforming into White Prajna, her physical strength became incredibly powerful!

Whether it's the sensitivity of the five senses, the strength of the muscles, the rumble of the heart, or the surging sound of blood flowing through the veins like a mighty river.

It was as if, in an instant, a lightly armored vehicle had been transformed into a heavily armored, heavy yet equally agile Tiger tank!

【Uesugi Tetsu (White Prajna incarnation)】

[Physique: 95→117]

[Willpower: 55 → 63]

[Charm: 21→12]

[Spiritual Arts: 78 → 59]

"Such physical strength used to require the use of 'rage' to achieve."

Uesugi Tetsu thoughtfully withdrew his gaze from the three-digit physique, took a slight breath, and then exhaled towards the tree trunk not far away.

Chi Chi Chi!

With such ease and casualness, without using any internal energy, a single breath pierced through the trunks of more than a dozen large trees.

Upon seeing this, Uesugi Tetsu stopped moving around and stood quietly in place, carefully experiencing the tremendous changes throughout his body.

With these stats, if he were to face the Grand Master again, it would certainly not be as difficult as his victory last time.

Perhaps I could spar with myself on the fortieth floor for quite some time.

As for whether he could kill the projection on the fortieth floor, Uesugi Tetsu felt it was hard to say.

Whether one lives or dies, only a real battle will tell; it's just a pity that this projection realm cannot be challenged repeatedly.

After spending several minutes adapting to Bai Banruo's extremely powerful physique, Uesugi Tetsuya performed an internal examination and discovered that his Qi Sea had also expanded due to the advancement of Bai Banruo's card.

The expansion speed, which was already a little slow, has increased by two levels, even slightly surpassing the previous speed when the Ubume Feather was used to define the boundary.

However, the dark red part of its Qi Sea was restless and, as it grew stronger, it naturally wanted to invade the other two sides.

Uesugi Tetsuya directly lowered his tangible hand and slapped the Hannya card twice, sending it rolling out of the Qi Ocean to expand.

What's the point of being arrogant at home?

As a result, the expansion rate of the Qi Sea increased slightly.

Uesugi Tetsu nodded in satisfaction and pulled his attention away from the subject.

At the same time, the golden sun rose on the horizon.

The soft yet dazzling sunlight gradually spread across the world, illuminating his pupils.

Uesugi Tetsuya suddenly lost his focus, his eyes losing their fixed point, just like before the revival of heaven and earth in the Warring States period, he entered a state of enlightenment.

This time, he no longer used the frail physique of an ordinary person who had become enraged.

Instead, they possess a truly powerful and imposing physical body, supporting their spirit and consciousness to roam freely between heaven and earth.

He subconsciously drew Kaga Kiyomitsu from his waist and struck one simple or complex pose after another.

Slowly, bathed in sunlight, he unleashed countless flawless sword techniques.

Swing the sword, swing the sword, swing the sword.

Kaga Kiyomitsu remained silent, complying with Uesugi Tetsu's wishes as if they were his own limbs.

The high school couple, who were talking about how incredibly handsome Uesugi Tetsuya was, had all finished taking photos and descended the mountain. It wasn't until the golden sun changed color and position, landing directly above Uesugi Tetsuya's head, that the sun stopped shining.

He was suddenly startled, his eyes focused, and he saw everything in front of him clearly again.

Two pale gold settlement notifications popped up—

[You witnessed the sunrise and entered a state of communion with nature; your proficiency in Natural Flow of Mind has increased by 300!]

[You witnessed the sunrise and entered a state of communion with nature. Your trait, Sword Principle (4%), has now been changed to Sword Principle (8%)!]

Kaga Kiyomitsu also made an onomatopoeic applause to celebrate his master's sudden enlightenment and the fact that his master had taken a step forward in the way of swordsmanship in such a short time.

"It's already noon... I'm still not satisfied."

Uesugi Tetsu recalled the memories that had faded like water, and the ease he felt when he swung his sword: "If only it could last for a day or two."

Kaga Kiyomitsu, his voice trembling, said, "I think so too."

"So, it would be great if the sun could stay there forever..."

Uesugi Tetsuya wasn't too disappointed, even after making a casual remark.

Because such inexplicable, sudden enlightenment is something that can only be encountered by chance.

Uesugi Tetsu stretched, making a series of cracking sounds as he did so.

"Alright, it's time to check out the new black market pool."

He hadn't forgotten that once the first demon incarnation was upgraded to two and a half stars, a limited-time two and a half-star card pool would also be opened!

Chapter 227 Two-and-a-half-star gacha pool open? Yaegaki's first use, the third special salvage, activated!

But before that, you have to read through the prompts that pop up in front of you.

Uesugi Tetsu had previously thought that since the mastery of the "Lin" technique would change the effect of the skill.

Do "sword skills" and "sword principles," which are also expressed as percentages, follow the same pattern?

Previously, because sword skills and sword principles were considered "characteristics," Uesugi Tetsu was not certain.

But now, the facts are laid bare before him—

Yes.

[Because your Sword Principle trait has reached 5%, your understanding of "Sword Principle" has been further deepened!]

[Because your Sword Principle trait has reached 5%, your understanding of everything related to swords has deepened!]

[Due to your Sword Theory trait reaching 5%, the damage of all your sword skills has been slightly increased!]

"Do you understand...?"

Uesugi Tetsuya took in all three clues, lowered his gaze, and looked at Kaga Kiyomitsu in his hand for a while.

The so-called principles of swordsmanship and the understanding of swords are actually very mysterious things.

Compared to "sword skills" that can be clearly described in words—such as "this stance is wrong" or "this sword angle is wrong"—these are far too abstract.

Yet, for some reason, Uesugi Tetsuya felt that he had indeed taken a big step forward on this somewhat "ethereal" path of swordsmanship.

If we want to see truly significant changes, then we probably need even more and deeper accumulation.

If you're dissatisfied with this "feeling" and insist on projecting it into reality, then...

"Xiao Jia, you've become even more beautiful."

Uesugi Tetsu looked at Kaga Kiyomitsu, who was becoming increasingly radiant and eye-catching, and smiled: "Now I know why Ririko was practically drooling back then."

When his swordsmanship reached 8%, this feeling intensified... not to mention Ririko, who had already mastered the art of skill and reason at an expert level.

Upon suddenly hearing the praise, Kaga Kiyomitsu chuckled, his sword tip trembling with joy.

Uesugi Tetsu released his grip, allowing Xiao Jia to levitate in mid-air.

"Take a stroll and enjoy the air and scenery at the top of the mountain."

"Yes, Master!"

Kaga Kiyomitsu continued flying upwards, basking in the warm sunlight.

After letting the child play on his own, Uesugi Tetsu naturally freed his hands and turned his attention back to what was in front of him.

—The 2.5-star gacha pool, come out!

[Since your Demon Incarnation - White Prajna has reached two and a half stars, the two and a half star limited-time drop is now available...]

Uesugi Tetsu was looking at it with great anticipation, but he found that the prompt stopped at the very end.

A few seconds later, a new prompt replaced it.

[Please note that the 2.5-star limited-time drop is a special drop and is not currently available!]

[Countdown to the opening of the 2.5-star special salvage event: 42:01:09]

The countdown, now directly in the center of Uesugi Tetsu's field of vision, made his lips twitch involuntarily, and he suddenly felt an urge to attack the prompt.

—I waited patiently for over a hundred days for the new gacha banner, almost spending all my Soul Ash, and this is what I get?!

This is consumer fraud! Fraud!

The numbers jumped a second later.

[Countdown to the opening of the 2.5-star special salvage event: 42:01:08]

The fierce look in Uesugi Tetsu's eyes instantly vanished by half.

It turns out the countdown was forty-two hours, not forty-two days.

If it's less than two days, then it's not like we can't wait...

These two and a half star special drops might have a completely different mechanism from the regular gacha pool, or contain extremely rare materials.

Otherwise, if it were just a matter of improving the quality of ordinary materials and equipment in the card pool, there would be no need to make him wait these two extra days.

No hurry, no hurry.

Perhaps after these 42 hours, something big will appear in the 2.5-star card pool.

It took Uesugi Tetsuya a full minute to convince himself, and then, upon seeing the words "special salvage," he remembered that he had encountered something similar before.

The last special gacha pool was the one-and-a-half-star [Fishing Master].

He had three chances in total, and he used two of them.

They are the traditional "Fishing Master," who lets people catch fish, and the "Slashing Master," who enters the game a second time due to the unexpected turn of events during his first fishing trip.

The two special gacha pools brought considerable benefits to Uesugi Tetsuya.

Now, there's only one more chance left to unlock it, requiring 2000 Soul Ashes.

Uesugi Tetsu glanced at the current Soul Ashes again.

— There are still a little over 6400 points left.

If you're looking to open the final one-and-a-half-star special card pool, that's more than enough.

As for what to do after Soul Ash...

One reason is to smoke the Hyakume-ki from Edo Castle.

Secondly, he needed to leave enough soul ash before Sheng Hai came looking for him again—no one could say for sure whether Sheng Hai would bring back a rare item that could directly awaken the Two-Foot Master, but which was quite valuable.

If he really wanted to spend time accumulating soul ash, there were actually quite a few channels available.

With Uesugi Tetsu's current strength, even without considering the numerous Mumumen mazes that will exist in the future, he could still reap considerable rewards simply by entering Arakawa Village and slaughtering the Tokoyo Factory.

After a brief hesitation, Uesugi Tetsuya opened the Fishing Master interface to take a look.

[Special Salvage: Fishing Master!]

[The third salvage attempt requires 2000 Soul Ash! This special salvage attempt will be permanently closed after completion!]

[Remaining salvage attempts: 1]

[Note: During this special salvage, the appearance rate of high-quality items has been greatly increased!]

[Do you choose to consume 2000 soul ash points to start the special salvage: Fishing Master? ]

[Note 1: This salvage operation is highly challenging and may take a considerable amount of time. Please allow approximately 48 hours in advance.]

[Note 2: This salvage operation will significantly improve your mental cultivation progress. Your current mental cultivation progress is "Mid-Stage Mental Cultivation - Clear Mirror".]

Ok?
