I became the Lord of the Eternal World in Tokyo.

"Everyone loves to drink this."

"Sister Xinshui, you're standing too high."

After finishing his barley tea in one gulp, he looked directly at Yuan Xinshui and said earnestly, "Sometimes we should look down and see what's going on."

Yuan Xinshui suddenly found it somewhat amusing: "Xiao Jin, are you lecturing me?"

"Probably so."

Jiujieyuan Jin nodded: "I always felt a little uncomfortable when I talked to Sister Xinshui, but I couldn't quite put my finger on why."

"Now I've found it."

Facing a woman who could split mountains and cleave lakes with a flick of her finger and slaughter ghosts and gods with a single sword stroke, Jiu Jieyuan Jin asked bluntly,

"Sister Xinshui, do you still consider yourself a human being?"

Facing immense pressure from the gazes of onlookers, Jiujieyuan Jin continued through gritted teeth, "Having landed back on the ground and entered the mortal world, perhaps you, Sister Xinshui, will have a different feeling, and perhaps you will find new insights and answers."

Yuan Xinshui lowered her head, gazing at her reflection in the light brown liquid.

"is it?"

After a long silence, she drank it all in one gulp.

"gone."

"Huh? Where are we going?" Before she could even be happy for two seconds, Jiujieyuan Jin turned her head and looked at the black dot that had already disappeared into the horizon.

"—Go to Tokyo and see her."

In the stratosphere, Yuan Xinshui pursed her lips, her unchanging brows furrowing deeply.

Sure enough, it still tastes awful.

At this moment, Yuan Xinshui had no idea that what was an exceptionally short journey for her would take the longest period of her life.

They inexplicably crossed the deep ocean and arrived in another world where all eras from ancient times to the present have gathered together, where they could kill one person in ten steps and leave no trace for a thousand miles.

With a flick of the finger, mountains are shattered and galaxies are broken; with a sword, all the rotten rules and old fogies that one cannot stand are smashed to pieces.

But that's another story.

……

Now that Ririko has broken through, I no longer need to hold back!

Uesugi Tetsuya first removed most of his defenses, causing his body, which had already recovered somewhat, to be damaged again by the aftershocks of the sword domain.

Then, a tidal wave of power surged from within him!

Boom boom boom boom!

Fists, far more dense than a torrential downpour, rained down on Ririko before she could even open her eyes, sending her flying into the air like a rag doll with overwhelming force!

He uses his skills to deal with those whose swordsmanship is inferior to his own, but when facing Ririko who has broken through her limits, he abandons his sword and simply uses his strength to throw punches...

—Uesugi Tetsuya, you're really despicable right now!

—Where did this sweet young couple go? This beating is way too brutal!

These two ideas are what the vast majority of the audience in the venue are thinking right now.

Under the tight defense of the Linzi Jue technique, the strange sword light that occasionally pierced through the fist wind and slashed at Shangshan Che's vital points was completely blocked.

Boom boom boom! ! !

Without giving Ririko even the slightest chance to catch her breath, pure violence erupted from Uesugi Tetsuya's fists.

Countless explosions reverberated amidst the twitching of the audience's brows and eyes.

"Match over! Uesugi Tetsuya wins!"

Within seconds, the referee, a ghost god, swiftly stepped between the two, blocking Uesugi Tetsu's fist with his chest, and after taking a deep breath, declared him the winner.

"Uesugi-kun, there's no need to be this cruel with domestic violence!"

Nanjo Manami caught the nearly mushy Ririko and treated her with all her might, using a treatment technique with a diameter of over a hundred meters to forcefully bring her back to life.

Uesugi Tetsuya won.

But the entire stadium was silent; there was no cheering.

They were completely dumbfounded.

Even the two adults in the corner almost thought that Uesugi Tetsu had gone mad, actually beating up the Great Demon King like that...

Uesugi Tetsuya collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

The demon didn't look at the loser lying on the ground being held by the doctor, but instead looked up with a burning gaze at Kitada Kei, whose expression was complicated.

Chapter 301 I challenge the number one ranked Yuan Jing Shui! Why is he really "Che"?

what?

Do you want to see me now?

Kitada Kei opened his mouth with a complicated expression, pointed at Ririko who was still lying on the ground, and then shook his head.

—Is it really okay to come to see someone as insignificant as me at a time like this instead of caring about your girlfriend?

In silence, Kitada Kei looked again at the girl whose face was ashen.

Ririko Tokugawa.

Just now, she reached the final stage of sword enlightenment, arriving at the "other shore" of everything?

Is it really possible to "cross the sea of ​​suffering and reach the other shore" with just one battle?

Even more unexpectedly, Uesugi Tetsuya actually managed to defeat Tokugawa Ririko, who had already reached the other side of the river of Kenshin, so completely that she was powerless to fight back...

Upon seeing Kitada Kei's actions, Uesugi Tetsu immediately understood that he meant "now is not the time."

It's not the time to fight.

So that's how it is. You wanted to wait until the very end, until all the other battles were over, before making your grand entrance.

Uesugi Tetsu glanced at Kitada Kei, then at Minamoto Shizumizu, who was also staring intently at Ririko.

Yeah.

Totally understandable.

Let the others fight it out first, otherwise the main event will end before the seeding battle is even halfway through, and the ratings and the number of people watching the live stream will plummet.

But in reality, the two were not thinking on the same wavelength at all.

Uesugi Tetsuya withdrew the spiritual energy infusion into the Flame Armor and the Five Thunder Technique that had been damaging his physical body, maintaining only the minimum circulation of Qi, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Perfect timing, he can take a break and discuss his breakthrough experience with Ririko.

After all, during the battle just now, Ririko had just broken through and was beaten so badly that she didn't have a chance to perform at all.

Because Uesugi Tetsu had a premonition that if Ririko recovered too quickly, he would most likely be the one in trouble.

As it turns out, even a super genius's breakthrough in battle isn't always effective.

It still depends on whether the opponent gives us a chance.

Withdrawing his fighting spirit from his gaze, Uesugi Tetsu's thoughts turned to Ririko's breakthrough.

Speaking of Sword Heart Clarity... If she makes further breakthroughs based on Sword Heart Clarity, wouldn't she reach the same level of mental state as Master Huijue?

Reflect on your own state of mind.

Although the foundation is solid, all that is missing is a suitable "heart embryo" to immediately break through to the peak of the man-sword unity stage.

But the key point is that the concept of the embryonic heart still has a touch of metaphysics to it.

Uesugi Tetsu recalled what Okabe Motonobu had said to him that night.

"Witness..."

If Ririko can single-handedly defeat everyone, including him, and take first place in this seeding battle, maybe the Embryo of the Heart can also succeed.

Unfortunately, she's still a ways off.

Uesugi Tetsu turned around and realized that it was Nanjo Ai who was treating Ririko.

"Huh? Nanjo-nee, why did you suddenly become interested in coming down here to be a babysitter?"

Nanjo Aimi, who had been standing there treating patients for almost thirty seconds, turned pale and replied irritably, "Because I'm the first one on the list of alternative doctors."

Alternative list?

Uesugi Tetsu looked up at the huge healing spell that was slowly dissipating.

Then, he looked down at Ririko, whose complexion was gradually returning to normal and whose foundation seemed to have become more stable.

The meticulous Uesugi Tetsuya carefully examined the fluctuations of spiritual energy before raising his hand and pointing.

"Nanjo-nee, why do I feel that your skills are even better than those of regular doctors? It takes two or three of them to treat you as quickly as you can."

"illusion."

Nanjo Ai answered without hesitation.

Uesugi Tetsuya understood immediately.

If he continues talking, Nanjo Aimi's workload will likely increase even more.

After letting out a drawn-out "oh," Uesugi Tetsu looked at Ririko, whose complexion had visibly turned rosy.

This health bar will probably be fully replenished in no time.

Ririko was beaten so badly by him, yet she was able to perfectly recover. She's a ghost... truly amazing.

Upon seeing Uesugi Tetsu staring at Ririko again, the two-foot-tall man, fearing that "mad" Tetsu-sama would continue to beat the latter, hurriedly ran over.

No matter what, the Great Demon King has helped me and Lord Che a lot, and he even cooks for us every day!

We can't let her suffer anymore!

The two-foot-tall adult's single-threaded thinking is working hard!

But just as she was about to arrive, Ririko, who had regained her strength and was sitting on the ground, looked up at Uesugi Tetsuya and suddenly spoke.

"Uesugi-kun."

"I am listening."

During the seeding battle, Uesugi Tetsu removed his Red Hannya mask for the first time and looked into her eyes.

The demon did not look at the defeated man in the doctor's arms, but Uesugi Tetsu looked at Tokugawa Ririko.

His eyes were filled with admiration.

Similarly, there was no blame or anything else in Ririko's eyes for him having been too harsh on her.

"This is the second time I've said this. Maybe you didn't hear me the first time..."

The girl held her index finger to her lips, her smile clear and pure.

"But that's okay."

Under the silent gaze of millions, Ririko looked at Uesugi Tetsuya with an earnest yet delighted expression, as if trying to unlock his heart.

"—It's so great to live in the same era as you."

"Ah."

Uesugi Tetsu nodded, answering sincerely.

"I feel the same way."

The two-foot-tall man who had just run up behind him: ...

Nanjo Aimi, who is continuing her treatment: ...

Ye Chun, who nearly broke her chopsticks while eating at the family dinner table: ...

Shizumi Minamoto, Kei Kitada, and countless viewers who were unexpectedly fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection): ...

"Smack smack!"

Only Kaga Kiyomitsu, whose sword was not yet sheathed, made an onomatopoeic clapping sound to express his congratulations.
