I became the Lord of the Eternal World in Tokyo.

Uesugi Tetsuya was in charge of her backstage.

clang!

Weapons clashed.

With a single strike, the cross-shaped spear in Er Chi's hand, with a strength unimaginable to ordinary people, broke in half from the middle, and her entire arm was also destroyed by the shock.

Uesugi Tetsu silently combined the three stages into one, only to find that the previously unborn Minamoto Shizuku had simply vanished from the spot.

Looking back, he saw that Yuan Jingshui, holding a demon sword, was quietly observing him from dozens of meters away.

Like an old hunter waiting for the perfect moment, unhurried and unhurried.

Tsk.

If this continues, there's no way to win.

Not only will you fail to touch the other person, but you will also become increasingly trapped in their rhythm.

But Uesugi Tetsuya was almost certain that this sudden, unpredictable teleportation was not endless.

Moreover, teleportation must have some warning signs, but my current perception is not enough to detect them.

But he can't gamble.

If you gamble, you might fall into the trap the other party is waiting for.

Uesugi Tetsu remained silent, focusing his attention on the notification that had already popped up.

[Your limit break value is full. You can now choose to enter the Overlimit State - Repair / Overlimit State - Battle.]

【——In the Overlimit state of battle, all your attributes are greatly enhanced, your mental state is greatly enhanced, your perception ability is greatly enhanced, and your recovery ability is greatly enhanced.

Simultaneously gain the limited-time status "Future Vision": Gain insight into the current battle situation from this moment until one second into the future.

Chapter 304 After this strike, your shikigami will be eliminated. Eight-foot-tall King of Justice, ten-second invincibility, descends!

Yuan Jingshui frowned, suddenly feeling restricted.

Was I pre-read?

—It was Uesugi Tetsu who silently achieved the breakthrough of sword heart clarity, and in terms of mental state, he surpassed him.

In her eyes, Uesugi Tetsu's skin turned completely crimson, and a large amount of high-temperature steam rose from beneath Akahana's mask.

It was like a giant machine running under overload, making a rumbling noise.

The sense of threat she perceived also increased dramatically.

If Uesugi Tetsu's sense of threat before was "someone making threats at the door," then now it's "a cold blade pressed against his neck."

The two are completely incomparable.

But Yuan Jingshui had experienced this scene countless times.

There's a high probability of dying, which is normal.

But recently, it has indeed been rare.

But there's something rather strange.

Being read in advance signifies a significant gap in mindset.

After observing for a few seconds, Yuan Jingshui discovered that Uesugi Tetsuya had not condensed his sword spirit, and naturally did not understand how he had made her feel like she was being read.

However, his opponent is Uesugi Tetsu.

It was Uesugi Tetsuya, who was praised by his elder sister and served as Nanjo Aimi's direct subordinate.

It's perfectly normal to know some unknown methods.

All she needs to do is her job.

Regardless of the enemy's strength, as long as you consistently do the "right" thing in battle, the scales of victory will gradually tip.

With her pale fingertips touching the azure blade, Minamoto Shizumi once again pressed her will over Hotarumaru, controlling everything like a tyrannical ruler.

Take a deep breath in the still water and feel the surging "waves" all around you.

The seven great apertures containing supernatural powers absorb and release the required "mass," and then connect the Guiyuan Qi Sea within Yuan Jingshui's body to the boundless "spatial mass sea."

—The Guiyuan Breathing Method believes that space also has its "mass".

—The practice of the Guiyuan Breathing Technique is actually the practitioner's control over the "sea of ​​matter" of space.

The so-called "space ocean" is an endless ocean that connects to the entire world.

The Guiyuan Qi Sea within Yuan Jingshui's body is equivalent to a very small "spatial sea," which is practically no different from a pond compared to the outside world.

Even so, her Guiyuan Qi Sea is ultimately not the same as an ordinary Qi Sea.

Yuan Jingshui is able to "teleport" because she can sense the fluctuations of the ocean waves in the spatial mass at all times and then move accordingly.

To achieve this, one needs to open the first six of the "Nine Apertures of Guiyuan".

The first three apertures, namely [Meditative Awareness], [Visual Insight], and [Comprehension], are responsible for enabling practitioners to gradually perceive and come into contact with the existence of the spatial sea of ​​matter.

The three orifices of the middle realm, namely, [Entering Purity], [Accommodating the Body], and [Returning to Oneself], enable practitioners to connect themselves with the spatial sea of ​​matter and "build a ship in the sea," moving with the waves.

Of course, Yuan Jingshui can also actively create ripples in the vast ocean, but it is a step slower than the former.

This requires opening the most important of the nine orifices, the starting point of the latter three orifices—[Zhaohai].

From this starting point, practitioners can use their physical bodies as boats, illuminating and influencing the infinite ocean of space with their own will.

All that is needed is to consume the "quality of the sea of ​​matter" within the body.

She was able to make those lightning spells of Uesugi Tetsuya disappear because she directly banished them into the spatial sea of ​​matter, causing the lightning spells to fall towards an unknown destination.

—At least the Illumination Sea Aperture was opened, and with these seven apertures, the source of still water for the Returning Abyss Qi Sea was achieved. This is the understanding of the Returning Abyss Breathing Method and space.

That's right, Yuan Jingshui did not open up the Qi Sea with all nine orifices, but stopped at the seven orifices, which is already a rare achievement that others envy.

The eldest sister said that her understanding was very wrong, but Yuan Jingshui could not understand the other party's thoughts either.

Because Yuanxin Water had fully opened up the nine orifices, including the two orifices of "Master of the Field" and "Return to the Abyss" that she could never reach no matter how hard she tried or how much she thought.

These two apertures alone not only blocked the source of the still water, but also blocked countless brilliant geniuses of the Yuan family over the past thousand years.

The seventh aperture, [Illumination of the Sea], is basically opened by one person in the Minamoto family every one or two generations, which is why Minamoto Shizumi is envied and worshipped by others.

Because she is considered a genius that the Yuan family produces only once every fifty years.

The eighth aperture, [Master of the Palace], last appeared in the early Meiji era, a full two hundred years ago, and only a few dozen people from the Minamoto family have ever appeared in it in history.

As for the ninth aperture, [Guiyuan]...

Aside from the source of the water, the last time we had to go back to the end of the Heian period was during the Heian period.

Therefore, no one understands Yuan Xinshui.

No one understands the eldest sister, and no one can share her worries.

No one... could gain the approval of the eldest sister.

Minamoto Shizumi gripped the hilt of Hotaru's sword tightly, his eyes as indifferent as ice that had stood for millennia.

coming soon.

Uesugi Tetsuya, whose imposing presence was comparable to dozens of powerful demons standing together, was about to charge towards her like a fully loaded train.

At this moment, the sea of ​​matter within her body remained motionless, maintaining contact with the outside world like a reef.

Despite the surging waves, she remained unmoved.

It's like the premonition of still water from the same source.

The next instant, Uesugi Tetsuya, whose skin color was now exactly the same as the Red Hannya Mask, moved.

fast.

Staring at the demon that was almost touching his nose, this was Yuan Xinshui's first thought.

It was a little bit faster than she expected.

Kaga Kiyomitsu's blade slashed horizontally with the force to tear everything apart, while Minamoto Shizumi had already stepped into the spatial sea of ​​matter, and emerged after riding another wave.

They arrived on Uesugi Tetsu's back...

When their eyes met, burning hotter than a branding iron, Yuan Jingshui's pupils contracted slightly.

Foresight?!

The demon grinned and drew its sword again, forcing Yuan Jingshui, who was already prepared to stab him in the back, back into the spatial sea of ​​matter.

—The effects of being in the overlimit state are naturally more than just a significant increase in Uesugi Tetsu's physical and mental abilities.

And there's also futuristic vision.

This is an existence that can be described as a cheat code in battle.

Before Minamoto no Shizumi appeared, Uesugi Tetsu suddenly turned around again, looking at an empty space with nothing in it.

Kaga Kiyomitsu, who had been gathering his strength, collided with Hotarumaru, who had just appeared, causing Minamoto Shizumi to disappear again with a frown.

There's something strange—when using futuristic vision to look at the still water source, it inexplicably breaks in the middle, and the time spent peering into the future is far less than a second.

At most, it's the time it takes for the still water source to "teleport".

retreat!retreat!retreat!

In just a few seconds, Kaga Kiyomitsu clashed with Hotarumaru hundreds of times, and in most of the exchanges, the unprepared latter was at a disadvantage.

If it weren't for Yuan Jingshui's own formidable strength, his sword-wielding arms would probably have been blasted into a pile of mud by now.

Just as Uesugi Tetsuya, who was happily hacking away, was about to turn his head again, he discovered that "Minamoto Shizumi" had disappeared from the point of his future vision.

"what?"

He looked again and saw that Yuan Jingshui's figure instantly appeared in the four corners of the arena, and then returned to one place a moment later.

Appearing in four places at once?

Uesugi Tetsuya's pupils flickered like auto-aiming, and after realizing that his opponent's injuries were not improving quickly, he temporarily held back, trying to catch the pattern of the landing points.

Yuan Jingshui took advantage of the brief moment to think.

If the landing point remains fixed, it will consume very little of her Qi Sea.

By instantly entering and exiting the spatial sea of ​​matter four times like this, it can be maintained for at least half an hour.

If we take it slow, we can manage to get it done in a few hours.

Yuan Jingshui knew clearly in his heart that this was a battle to win the championship, not a so-called competition or sparring.

As long as we can win, as long as we can achieve victory, that's enough.

Uesugi Tetsuya's burst of power can't last long, as long as he can keep dragging things out...

At this moment, Yuan Jingshui remembered what her elder sister had once told her—

"Then we'll defeat him in the Tokyo seeding battle, crush him, and refute everything with facts."

Trampling...me.

Genji Shizumi was slightly taken aback, as if he heard the mocking sound coming from the Hotaru in his hand.

Everything I'm doing now has absolutely nothing to do with "ravaging".

On the contrary, if the eldest sister saw this scene, she would definitely laugh at her with a faint smile and a tone that was not at all mocking.

Just as Yuan Jingshui's emotions were fluctuating, Uesugi Tetsu's eyes, which had been darting around so much, finally settled down.

The secret of the natural rational flow: the sword of ignorance!

The invisible, intangible sword cleanly sliced ​​through the hair on the left side of Kaiyuan Jingshui's head, and then cut her shoulder just before she disappeared.

Pale and pitch black began to erode and spread.

The burning, stinging sensation made Yuan Jingshui no longer hesitate.

She raised the azure blade and gently placed Hotaru on the wound.

Boom!

The three-stage attack, accompanied by thunder and a pale torrent, immediately covered the area where Yuan Jingshui was standing, attempting to stop her actions.
