I became the Lord of the Eternal World in Tokyo.

"stop!"

he shouted.

Uesugi Tetsu took a breath and said, "Let's call this a draw."

The two-foot-tall man was jolted, suddenly snapping out of his flow state of being fully immersed in receiving the attack.

Ririko glanced at the gun blade that was now almost within reach, and nodded calmly as before.

"Alright, then let's call it a draw."

This sparring match, testing the condition of the two-foot-tall King of Benevolence, ended in a draw.

However, he remained empty-handed from beginning to end, without even touching the hem of her clothes, appearing completely at ease.

The other was sweating profusely, and his vital areas were covered with fine, hair-like blood vessels that had now mostly healed.

He looked utterly disheveled.

Even if the two-foot-tall adult is not seriously injured and killed by being hit in a vital spot, the "life points" deducted will still be more.

After the Niou form ended, the two-foot-tall man, now back in his two-foot form, bit his lip, clenched his fists, and said with a hint of resentment,

“Miss Ririko… I will beat you next time.”

Ririko blinked and smiled at her: "Okay, I'll wait."

……

The next day, before sunrise.

With his mind and time almost squeezed to the limit, Uesugi Tetsuya suddenly opened his eyes and opened his arms toward the sun that had just risen above the horizon.

[Because you have opened the Yin Chakra, the progress of your body's spiritual potential has accelerated!]

[Current progress: 28/108]

[You have completed the Flesh Palace Training -罡肉!]

[You have completed the Flesh Palace Training - Flesh Refining Stage!]

Your muscle strength has increased dramatically!

[Your physique +4! ]

[Because you have completed the "Flesh Refining Stage," your efficiency in utilizing Qi has increased moderately!]

—He finally completed the opening of the twenty-eight acupoints and the body tempering stage before the elimination rounds!

Uesugi Tetsu opened his personal panel and glanced at his physique attribute.

[Physique: 76→80]

In just a few days, his already extremely high physical attributes increased even more!

I taught the first two chapters of the Myoga Breathing Technique to Ririko before, and only started practicing acupoints after discussing acupoints with her. It was definitely the right decision!

Compared to before I obtained the Meikawa Breathing Technique, the efficiency has improved by a tremendous amount.

Originally, completing the entire meat-refining stage would have taken at least half a month, but now the time has been reduced by more than half.

Not to mention that so many acupoints have been opened at the same time, and nearly a quarter of the human body's spiritual treasures have been completed.

Next, should one continue to strengthen the muscles and complete the second stage of the breathing technique, the Palace of Flesh, or stop training and instead choose one of the three ultimate forms that can be trained?

After a few thoughts, Uesugi Tetsuya made a decision.

—Continue casting reinforcement.

Just like the hallmark and core ability "Qi Circulation" of completing the first stage, the Sea of ​​Qi, there will definitely be some gains after completing the forging of the Palace of Flesh.

As for the four ultimate forms, we can master them one by one in the future; there's no rush.

Anyway, since I don't have the third stage of the Life River Breathing Technique, Spirit Condensation, I can just lay a solid foundation first and take it slowly.

After all, Uesugi Tetsuya is different from most martial artists; he doesn't only have breathing techniques as his path.

"The time is almost up."

Uesugi Tetsu gazed at the rising sun on the other side and, after a month, opened the panel of his first avatar, White Prajna.

[“White Prajna (Complete Form)” is upgrading: 99%...100%!]

[Your demonic incarnation, White Prajna (Complete Form), has been upgraded!]

【You got...】

【Demon Incarnation - Crimson Prajna!!!】

Chapter 285 The Demonic Incarnation of Red Prajna! The Heavenly Path to Godhood! The Seed Battle, the Much-Anticipated Beginning!

[You have obtained the Demon Incarnation: Red Prajna!!!]

The moment the notification popped up, Uesugi Tetsu felt his muscle strength rapidly increase. His already incredibly hard Raikkon (thunder bone) became even denser, and his nerve reflexes also accelerated considerably...

The physical body, therefore, becomes stronger.

He glanced at his personal panel and discovered that his physique attribute had suddenly increased by five points!

Five o'clock!

This is a bonus effect that comes with the transformation upgrade!

Then wouldn't the true transformation be...?

Uesugi Tetsu immediately examined his inner dantian and retrieved the document containing the white tablet from the surging, dark red dantian…

Oh no, it should now be called the Avatar of the Red Prajna card.

A heavy weight emanated from my fingertips; the card, originally wrapped in shimmering gold, had been replaced by black and red and deep dark gold.

With a flick of his finger, Uesugi Tetsuya looked at the front of the card—

At the very center of this uniquely textured card, a lifelike demon's face, enveloped in blood-red hues, is displayed.

Its horns were raised high, its eyes were fierce and its fangs were bared, and its entire body was crimson.

Those dark eyes and the狰狞 face revealed undisguised cruelty, madness, and anger.

This is the true form of the legend that can stop a child's night crying—Red Prajna.

Unlike the ordinary Red Prajna, the demon face in the center of the card subtly carries a majestic divinity.

Evil spirits, and divinity.

Two completely different things are strangely fused together on this black and red dark gold card and then displayed.

"Are those fragments of the Totsuka Blade...?"

As Uesugi Tetsu stared at the Akahane in the card, two words involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

--"spirits".

Seeing that Uesugi Tetsuya had taken out a rather high-quality card and remained silent for a long time, Kaga Kiyomitsu, who was already standing to the side, also curiously came over and looked at the card.

Then, I was so startled by the terrifying Red Prajna above that I almost dropped the scabbard.

Uesugi Tetsu ignored this clown and instead checked Akahana's panel before transforming into his true form.

【Demon Incarnation: Red Prajna】

【Quality: Epic+】

[Rank: Three Stars]

[Rank Cap: Four Stars → Four and a Half Stars]

The rank cap has increased.

It's probably because the White Prajna has turned into the Red Prajna... It's like a gain without any effort. I wish the rank cap could be increased so easily in the future.

[Talents: Demons and spirits, greed, anger, and ignorance; pale madness; bloodthirsty crimson...]

Then there's talent.

In the original text about "ghosts and gods", the word "weak" after "power of ghosts and gods (weak)" has disappeared.

His supernatural talent is now complete!

"No wonder the attribute increase was so dramatic this time, so that's why."

Of course, aside from the pure attribute enhancement, he instinctively felt that the importance of the Ghost God talent went far beyond that.

Uesugi Tetsu examined the black and gold characters for "Demon God" for a while, then his gaze fell on the new talent "Bloodlust Crimson".

[Crimson Bloodlust: When you experience "slaughter" or "high-intensity combat," all your attributes except Charisma will permanently and slightly increase, while your Charisma will permanently and slightly decrease while in your avatar. The more and stronger the enemies you kill, the more your attributes will increase.]

It fits the legend of the Red Prajna very well, and it is also a talent that is quite practical.

According to legend, the Red Prajna was a vengeful ghost born from extreme resentment and anger. It would kill and eat people at will without reason or cause, and its methods were extremely cruel.

Having killed so many people, it's only natural that his charisma stat would decline.

It's all about sacrificing aesthetics for strength—Uesugi Tetsuya is a master of this, and he highly praises it!

[—Anger, madness, death…you abhorrent demons, the path of the gods and spirits has opened before you; await yet another challenge from those who dare to overestimate themselves.]

That concludes the panel for the incarnation of the Red Prajna.

There's one more thing that Uesugi Tetsuya is concerned about—at the end of the talent section, there's a blurry, abnormal talent that's not displayed, as if it's been pixelated.

Whether it's a bug or "we'll explore the earlier areas later," this talent will probably only be available after Red Prajna is upgraded again.

Uesugi Tetsuya let out a soft breath and used his spirit control technique to sense that the barrier surrounding the villa was still functioning normally.

So he decided to transform into the form of Akabane and experience it first.

After all, the transformation has made a major advancement this time, and simply enjoying the visual spectacle is definitely not enough to satisfy people.

Anyway, only Erchi-sama, Ririko, and Xiaojia were left in the villa, so he didn't need to explain much.

As for Tamamo and Yagyu Akira, who had been staying at his house, they had already arrived at Sky Castle two days ago. Yagyu Akira said that they wanted to go up early to prepare.

With that thought in mind, Uesugi Tetsuya stopped hesitating and made the card in his hand transform into a stream of light.

Incarnation, Red Prajna!

At that moment, Ririko, who was lying in the first-floor dojo bathed in the rising sun, suddenly opened her eyes wide.

Her eyes were like lightning, her gaze piercing through layers of cement and buildings in an instant.

At a glance, one could see the rooftop.

Ririko raised an eyebrow in confusion and scoffed, "Why are you doing a Hannya cosplay at a time like this...?"

But where does this vital energy and blood come from? Does it just appear out of thin air?

correct answer.

A vast amount of blood and energy, many times greater than that of Uesugi Tetsujin, overflowed from Akabane's body, which was slightly tilted back on the rooftop.

Under the golden sunlight, Akābhāṣā opened his arms towards the cloudless sky.

"Such power..."

Uesugi Tetsu silently recited the mantra in his mind, gently and very carefully clenching his five fingers covered in a thin layer of dark red.

A short sonic boom exploded in his palm, only to be completely suppressed by his tightly clenched fingers.

Such terrifying power could easily kill me before my advancement, even with my bare hands... Only in a state of "rage" could I possibly defeat it.

Without the barrier, one could hear the breathing clearly even from hundreds of meters away.

Uesugi Tetsu could feel the empty sea of ​​qi within his body rapidly stabilizing, expanding, and growing as a result.

—The dark red sea of ​​qi immediately tried to invade other territories, but it was still slapped back by him with a palm.

At the same time, beyond this intoxicating power, Uesugi Tetsuya also sensed a long road slowly unfolding before his eyes.

The road was incredibly indistinct, yet treacherous and magnificent.

what is this?

Uesugi Tetsuya's thoughts raced, grasping the key point in an instant—

Is it the so-called "Heavenly Path" mentioned in the final incarnation introduction?
