Love is not as fun as World of Warcraft

"I guess so. It's harder to kill than hungry ghosts. Compared to mountain widows, they're on par with each other."

Shirasaka spread his hands and did not hide anything about his experience. After all, he regarded Ichinose Kagami as a companion, so there was no need to hide these things from her.

"The literature says that if you encounter an evil spirit, pretending you can't see it can effectively avoid conflict."

After a moment of silence, Kagami Ichinose helped Shirasaka find a solution from his memory.

"No, what I want to know is not how to not see them, but is there any document you know of that can help me see them?"

Chapter 59: What era is it still dealing with martial arts secrets?

"No."

Ichinose Kagami was stunned for a moment. It was the first time she saw someone who not only thought about avoiding these disgusting evil spirits, but also thought about how to observe them.

You know, there is no danger as long as you don't see it, so why would anyone actively want to get close to danger?

She couldn't understand what Shirasaka was doing, but she still told him what she knew.

This is true.

"Well, then there's nothing we can do."

Shirasaka sighed. Ichinose Kagami's answer meant that it was impossible for him to defeat the evil spirit on his own. His spiritual vision was too poor. Without Nanashiki Mio, he probably wouldn't be able to notice it even if it stood in front of him.

Therefore, the value of that little quail is still increasing. For the sake of gaining experience points in the future, it would be better to find a way to tie her to your side.

As they were talking, Shirasaka and Ichinose Kagami arrived at a park that seemed to have been abandoned for a long time. After walking around for a long time, Ichinose finally led Shirasaka into a small alley that was still a little dim even in the daytime.

Those who don't know might think that they have some little secrets between each other, but unfortunately, the reality is that Shirasaka's interest in monsters is obviously greater than Ichinose Kagami's.

Just as Kagami Nozuse said, the area of the darkness hidden here was pitifully small, and one could see the end at a glance. Shirasaka also saw the hungry ghost who seemed to be rummaging through the surrounding weeds and stuffing them into his mouth.

Its ugly appearance seemed a little cute in front of Shirasaka. To him, it was not a monster at all, but an experience that came right to his doorstep, okay?

"When you, the demon ninja, face monsters, do you use your fists like me? Come to think of it, I haven't seen your fighting style yet."

Shirasaka pinched his chin, gave up the idea of rushing in to pocket the 100 experience points, and instead turned to look at Kagami Ichinose beside him and asked.

He had never seen this guy take action. Judging from her previous performance, most of her abilities were purely auxiliary. As for how she fought, he had never seen her do it before.

But she has the confidence to guide herself to fight these monsters in close combat, which proves that she is at least a fighter, right?

"No, at least considering the existing strength of the anti-monster ninja, it is extremely unwise to fight monsters inside the Joan."

But Ichinose Kagami shook his head and answered Shirasaka's question seriously.

"When dealing with demon ninjas, we usually first investigate the type of demon and target its weaknesses."

"For example, hungry ghosts will be weakened if they eat human food, and if the horns on a mountain owl's head are broken, it will lose its stability."

"Salt can effectively limit the abilities of monsters. Most monsters will be greatly weakened when they are lured out of the darkness. If assisted by some talismans and Yin-Yang magic, they will eventually become just ferocious-looking monsters."

"At this point, we can use some demon-killing rituals and formations to eliminate it."

Ichinose Kagami was like a teacher teaching a student, explaining to Shirasaka very seriously and carefully the techniques he knew on how to fight monsters.

"However, these are only for some relatively weak monsters. For those powerful monsters, the only thing we can do to the demon ninja is to restrict their movement area and cut off their connection with the real world."

When he said this, Ichinose's eyes were obviously a little lost. The modern anti-demon ninja and onmyoji are far from the gods in ancient times. Let alone exorcising the big demons, the mere appearance of a demon that is not in the plan may cause a tragedy.

Even hungry ghosts, which can be said to be the lowest level of monsters, require them to use all their strength to eliminate them.

As for someone like Shirasaka who could directly rush into the darkness and engage in passionate hand-to-hand combat with monsters, only some extremely powerful Onmyoji in ancient legends could do that.

"Then how are you going to teach me? You don't even box yourself."

Shirasaka curled the corners of his mouth. It turned out that this group of anti-demon ninjas relied on the mechanism to continuously weaken the monsters, and finally used a bunch of fancy rituals and formations to deal with them.

This is not the same style as mine. He just goes up and attacks, relying on combat skills, and rarely uses brains and strategies.

"It's not that I don't know how to do it, I just haven't applied it to monsters. After all... I don't have the same strong physical fitness as you."

There was a hint of envy in Ichinose Kagami's eyes when she looked at Shirasaka. Someone like her, who had the bloodline of an Onmyoji and had received professional training since childhood, could only be said to be less than twice as strong as an ordinary person. Dealing with a hungry ghost was already her limit.

But Shirasaka's physical fitness is completely different. At least when Ichinose Kagami watched him deal with the hungry ghost in the darkness, he had no problem suppressing him.

You have to know that it was a monster that had never been weakened in the darkness. Even Shirasaka's instantaneous burst of speed was even faster than Yamaubade's.

Not to mention his strong body recovery ability. He came to school the next day as if nothing happened after being stabbed. She still hasn't figured out how Shirasaka did all this.

"So you're just a theorist?"

Shirasaka curled his lips. The more he listened, the less reliable it seemed. Was Ichinose Kagami really trying to trick him?

"As for fighting monsters... that's true."

Ichinose Kagami was not arrogant and told Shirasaka the fact directly.

"However, this is a fighting method passed down from ancient Onmyoji and demon ninjas. It has been tested in actual combat."

Not wanting Shirasaka to look down on him in this regard, Ichinose Kagami explained to him seriously.

"Also, according to my speculation, you are extremely suitable for this style of play, so I recommend it to you."

After taking out a book with a blue cover from her small bag in a formal manner, Ichinose Kagaki handed it to the boy in front of her.

It has to be said that just the extremely retro texture and workmanship of this booklet made Shirasaka feel as if he had obtained a martial arts secret book when he got it in his hand.

But when Shirasaka saw the title of the book on the cover, the expression on his face became extremely shattered.

Quick Hand Hook Skills - Exorcising Zhong Kui and Rescuing Evil Spirits

Okay, okay, just by seeing the name, he had to admit that he was presumptuous and really shouldn't have questioned Kagami Ichinose. This was indeed one of the most powerful fighting techniques for dealing with monsters.

Moreover, in a certain sense, it is indeed a fighting skill that suits him very well. After all, he is not worried about getting injured at all. When fighting with monsters, even if he gets hit once or twice by the opponent, his combat effectiveness will not be reduced due to the injury.

This extreme close combat method and endless pursuit are very consistent with his physical fitness.

Even some of the fighting moves and methods are simply impossible for normal people to achieve without his superhuman physique.

After hearing Kagami Ichinose say that this was a secret manual passed down from ancient times, Shirasaka could only reasonably suspect that the ancient master who passed it down had a nickname called A Xiu.

After carefully reading the contents of this book, I originally thought that Shirasaka might just be teaching me rigid moves like in the game, but the more I read, the more fascinated I became.

It has to be said that for a technique to be passed down as a treasure by a demon ninja, there must be something substantial in it. Although Shirasaka doesn't have gauntlet hooks or anything like that, as long as his fists are strong enough, he can still use the techniques in it.

In addition, some of the moves can be flexibly combined, which gives Shirasaka more fighting ideas.

Of course, in reality, you can't just keep repeating the tricks to drive away Zhong Kui and fight against evil spirits like in the game, otherwise you will definitely get beaten up in the end.

But this does not prevent the booklet in his hand from having certain reference value, and Shirasaka has indeed learned a lot from it.

"I take it back. So, could you lend me this book? I originally called you a master of theoretical combat."

Shirasaka flipped through the book carefully for a long time. He was extremely curious about some of the power-generating techniques and was ready to put them into practice at any time. However, he turned around and wanted to put the book away to try his hand on the hungry ghost in front of him first.

"No, this is a unique copy."

To Shirasaka's surprise, Ichinose Kagami just shook his head silently, took the ancient book back from Shirasaka's hand, and sternly rejected his proposal.

"But I can send you the electronic version later."

"..."

Well, Shirasaka was so engrossed in martial arts movies that he almost forgot that this was the high-tech age. There was no such thing as a single copy of a martial arts secret manual. As long as you got it in your hands, you didn't need a photographic memory. Anyone with a mobile phone would see pirated copies all over the floor the next day.

If it is made into an electronic version, and can even be accompanied by corresponding animated video demonstrations, wouldn’t it be much better than just reading a dry book?

If there had been high-tech like electronic versions in ancient times, so many people would not have been eliminated directly due to their lack of understanding!

"Okay, now it's time to try out the power-generating techniques described here, right?"

Shirasaka moved his wrist and finally set his gaze on the hungry ghost not far away who had no idea what terrible future he was about to experience.

Chapter 60: Accepting a disciple?

Flexing his wrist and entering the constant darkness, Shirasaka calmly stared at the hungry ghost in front of him.

The moment the hungry ghost noticed Shirasaka entering, he rushed towards him like a beast that had discovered delicious food.

But now, facing Shirasaka, whose all attributes have reached four points, the hungry ghost's sprint speed is no longer enough. In his eyes, it is not much different from slow motion.

"Let me try it, this should be the way to attack."

Whispering silently, Shirasaka leaned forward, thrusting his right shoulder forward, and collided with the oncoming hungry ghost in a standard iron mountain leaning posture.

While using the force-generating techniques in the book, Shirasaka relied on his own strength which was several times greater than that of his opponent, and knocked the hungry ghost away almost at the moment of collision.

Then, at the moment when it fell backwards, Shirasaka accelerated again, quickly circled behind the hungry ghost, raised his foot and hit its back with his knee.

When the two forces collided, the hungry ghost didn't resist at all. He spat out a mouthful of dirty blood from his ugly face and then fell to the ground powerlessly.

In just one encounter, the hungry ghost lost the ability to resist, and even moving its body became impossible.

"The effect is indeed good in practice, but I should practice it on monsters with similar strength to myself to see the true usefulness of these moves."

Shirasaka placed one foot on the hungry ghost, rendering it unable to struggle, then he clenched his fists and muttered to himself as he gave his evaluation.

With his current strength, facing a hungry ghost, he can easily kill the opponent with pure turtle punches. These moves and techniques can only make him look fancy. If he pursues efficiency, it is definitely not as good as Shirasaka's direct brick attack.

If you can be hit by a brick from a distance, you will die. Who would wait for you to come up and fight with them?

But in the future, if he faces a monster with speed and strength similar to his own, these moves may be able to produce some miraculous effects. This is exactly what Shirasaka needs.

After all, beating the weak requires efficiency, and the ability to attack is also a must.

Shirasaka decided to find a place to practice boxing when he had nothing to do. He greeted Ichinose Kagamikashi who was outside Toganami, then retracted his foot that was stepping on the hungry ghost. After moving a little further away, he threw a brick at it and smashed its head.

As one hundred experience points and five gold coins arrived, the darkness nearby gradually began to dissipate along with the hungry ghost's corpse.

The only pity is that Shirasaka didn't get any treasure from this hungry ghost. But come to think of it, this thing itself is not a must-get item.

"how do you feel?"

Ichinose Kagami has been waiting outside the Ever-An. Firstly, she didn't want to waste the precious barrier talisman. Secondly, this Ever-An was only that big, and standing outside was enough to see clearly what was happening inside. Not to mention that she was very impressed with Shirasaka's strength.

"Not bad, it's much more useful than I thought. Thanks~"

Shirasaka raised his eyebrows at Ichinose Kagami, and did not hesitate to praise him, but expressed his gratitude to him very frankly.

What a nice girl this is. She basically fulfills all my requests without reservation, and she never complains. She is truly a rare good woman in the world.

"You, have you become stronger again?"

Ichinose Kagami accepted Shirasaka's thanks calmly, and after carefully looking at Shirasaka for a long time, he finally came to this conclusion.

She had seen the battle between Shirasaka and Hungry Ghost before. Although it also happened in a split second, it was not as leisurely as he showed now. In fact, if he had had such speed before, he would not have been ambushed by Yamaba.

The only result was that the young man in front of him had once again broken through the limits of human beings in just a few days.

At this time, Kagami Ichinose also began to believe that what Shirasaka said about killing monsters was a form of practice. This growth visible to the naked eye would not lie.

"It's just a little bit better than before."

Shirasaka scratched his head. Compared to his previous battle with the hungry ghosts, his attributes had only doubled.

"..."

"Have you considered taking in a disciple?"

Ichinose Kagami was silent for a long time before she finally uttered a sentence that was obviously inconsistent with her character.

How could a girl like her, who was as graceful as a mountain snow lotus, actually want to be an apprentice to someone of the same age?

After hearing this, Shirasaka was stunned for a moment, then tilted his head to look at Ichinose Kagami's little face, wanting to confirm if he had heard it wrong.

"The master is the one who is wise. I need this kind of strength."

Ichinose Kagami made no secret of the desire for power in his eyes, and the tone of his voice was full of expectations for Shirasaka.

"Well, this is a natural talent of mine, and I can't teach it to others. Do you understand that?"

Shirasaka wanted to say that she didn't need to be so honest, but considering that she had previously said that the reason she was keen on exorcising monsters was for revenge, her desire for power because of this was understandable.

It's a pity that my physical fitness is not the result of any practice, but rather the result of adding some things to it. Ichinose Kagami cannot upgrade like me, so how can I teach her?

"Yeah, I understand."

A flash of disappointment flashed across Ichinose Kagami's eyes, and she lowered her head, as if she had already anticipated this result, and quickly adjusted herself.

"Then can we cooperate more in the future? If I don't have this power, then collaborating with you who possesses it is also a good option."

Ichinose Kagamikashi still spoke without beating around the bush, but Shirasaka really fell for her straightforward approach.
