I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 112 Four-tailed Fox Jade Plate, [Good Luck] Divine Sign (8.6k, please subscribe, please vote!

May 2024, 5, Sakurato High School, sunny.

It has been a week since the full impact of the first wave, which was extremely short for many people but extremely long for others.

The concentration of spiritual energy between heaven and earth continued to rise, and reached its peak three days after the wave arrived.

After the Special Affairs Office conducted tests in multiple locations and took the average value, the current concentration of spiritual energy has climbed and stabilized to 11.8 times the level before the wave arrived.

The spiritual energy concentration increased by 11.8 times, which brought far more than just 11.8 times the speed of cultivation... The strange stories passed down by word of mouth were revived one by one, and the demons could hide more easily.

Of course, what is more important is that in today's environment, the threshold for cultivation - that is, to step into the extraordinary - has been greatly lowered. Many ancient texts and methods have been released by the Special Affairs Office, and a golden age of cultivation for all the people is about to come.

That morning, in the gymnasium of Sakurato High School in Arakawa Ward, Tokyo.

The originally towering basketball hoop has been removed, and the entire second-year class of Yingdu High School is sitting in rows on the nearly 1,000-square-meter smooth wooden floor.

This was their first time attending the "Demon Class" mentioned earlier by Nanjo Aimi, but to be more precise, it should be a major branch of the Demon Class - the Onmyoji Class.

The Yin-Yang master with slicked-back hair, who was sent by the Special Affairs Office to teach Yin-Yang magic, stood in the center of the gymnasium.

At the feet of the Onmyoji, Uesugi Tetsu, Ririko and Kitano Runa sat in a row, listening to the Onmyoji talk about the so-called "Basic Spirit Absorption Method".

Some basic knowledge about demons and cultivation has been popularized early on. This large class for the whole grade is to test the cultivation talent and potential of everyone in the entire grade.

Reality is not like a game. Of course, it is impossible to use a high-tech instrument to test the talent and potential of a student who has never practiced at all.

Therefore, the approach taken by the Special Affairs Office is to teach the most basic and most peaceful method of spiritual absorption to the students.

——Apart from the two shortcomings of slow cultivation and low upper limit, it has no other strange side effects.

Moreover, those who have practiced the basic spirit-absorbing method can still freely choose the path that suits them among the four paths and five elements without any additional difficulty.

You know, if an Onmyoji apprentice chooses the water path first, then if he wants to learn the fire path later, the difficulty will more than double.

How long would it take to learn the basics of spiritual absorption? How long would it take to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth after learning it? How fast would it take to successfully absorb and release spiritual energy for the first time? How many days would it take to complete the first celestial circulation?

These data can become the standards for the Special Affairs Office to judge a student's talent, and future resource allocation will also use this as an important criterion.

This may have been difficult to do in the past.

But now is the era of information technology and big data. As long as the data can be collected correctly, such a simple matter can be solved by just asking a clerk from the special affairs office to draw up an Excel spreadsheet.

Completing the above-mentioned evaluation indicators is just the minimum threshold to becoming ordinary, and there is a high probability that you cannot even defeat an ordinary wandering soul.

Onmyoji spends most of his time not fighting and killing, but relaxing alone.

——The Onmyojis that can be seen in the Special Affairs Office have already traveled a considerable distance on one of the four paths and five elements, and have also contracted with Shikigami, and possessed the ability to stand on their own.

"So, Uesugi-kun, Ririkko... did you understand what he was talking about?"

Kitano Runa, who was dizzy from listening, rubbed her temples, revealing a confused face and clear and stupid eyes as if she was listening to a derivative class.

"Basic Spirit Gathering Method, that name is actually quite accurate." Uesugi Che stroked the jade token in his hand and flipped through the thick, new textbook. "It's easy to get started, but difficult to improve. The efficiency is indeed a bit low when practicing, but it should be stable."

Lilizi also blinked and nodded in agreement: "Sounds simple and basic."

The two of them looked at Kitano Runa, who was sitting between them, with puzzled expressions on their faces: "Is there anything difficult to understand in this method?"

Kitano Runa hugged her knees and rolled her eyes: "Alright, both of you, stop talking to me. My tiny, fragile self-esteem can't stand any more blows!"

Uesugi Tetsu followed suit, but Ririko did not forget to take care of her best friend.

She pulled Kitano Runa a little closer and explained this basic spirit gathering method to her in detail from the beginning to the end, from every knowledge point to the key points, in a vivid way.

Although Lilizi herself could not sense even a bit of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, this did not prevent her from fully understanding this extremely basic Yin-Yang technique, and applying her experience in breathing techniques to other similar situations.

"How dare you two sit in front of me and whisper to each other?! Why don't you come up and talk!"

The Onmyoji, who was already resentful about having his private training time disturbed and was forcibly sent to teach this group of high school Muggles, looked down.

Kitano Runa was startled and quickly looked at the ground, then quickly touched Ririko with her toes.

He frowned and pointed at Lilizi, who was still explaining patiently without noticing anything. "Yes, that's you! The eighth girl in the first row! Still talking! Are you turning a deaf ear to what I'm saying?"

——It seems that this unfamiliar Onmyoji may have just rushed back from outside and is not very familiar with newcomers like Lilizi.

Uesugi Tetsu made a strange expression and poked Ririko's waist with his elbow.

The latter bared his teeth and turned back fiercely: "What are you doing? I'm giving a lecture to Runa!"

Uesugi Tetsu raised his chin and said, "They asked you to give a lecture. Maybe they thought you were good at teaching and wanted to exchange experiences."

"Oh! That's great! He doesn't seem to know me." Lilizi gave the Yin Yang Master on the stage a thumbs-up and turned her head to say, "He's quite nice of a person to ask a simple student like me."

After saying that, Lilizi stood up in front of everyone.

She smiled and shook the Yin Yang Master's stiff hand with both hands. Under the other's stunned gaze, she walked up to the platform and cleared her throat.

"Hello everyone! Since Mr. Nakajima invited me to share my experience, I will share some of my personal insights. If there are any errors, please feel free to point them out."

The entire gymnasium suddenly became lively - among the ten students who didn't know Tokugawa Ririko in their second year of high school, there was not one who didn't know her, and the one who didn't know her now knew her.

Nakajima Onmyoji, who was inexplicably driven offstage, was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"

He was just about to go up to the stage and teach this ignorant student a lesson when he found someone pulling at the hem of his clothes.

A spiritual power that shocked him rose from behind him.

Nakajima Onmyoji immediately turned around and saw Uesugi Tetsu smiling at him, so his tone couldn't help but soften.

"Classmate, you are..."

Uesugi Tetsu: "Mr. Nakajima, Ririkko on the stage is also from the Special Affairs Department, so why not listen to what she has to say first?"

This high school girl is my colleague?

Nakajima raised an eyebrow, deciding not to offend the young man whose spiritual energy surged. He nodded, "Another perspective is also helpful."

He then added: "However, I must ensure the rigor of the teaching content."

What he meant was that if Lilizi didn't speak well, she would have to get down and be scolded by him.

But could this kind of thing happen?
Uesugi Tetsu took a look at this Onmyoji Nakajima - the spiritual power fluctuations coming from his body were quite strong. Before the wave came, he could even feel the bottom line of the "young master".

However, nowadays, this level of spiritual power fluctuation is very common.

——Because of the huge spiritual power brought by the wave, all Onmyojis below three stars took a step up very easily.

"Moreover, he is probably an Onmyoji who studies the Way of Astronomy and the Way of Earth. His strength is estimated to be around two stars."

Uesugi Che said silently in his heart - in these seven days, he has already found four introductory books on the Five Elements and studied them all to be prepared.

Although the proficiency level was mostly just entry-level or non-entry-level, it laid a solid foundation for him to understand others.

For example, now, except for the Shikigami who have not shown their faces yet, Nakajima Onmyoji's underwear has been seen through by him, and the other party even thinks that he is still a strong Onmyoji.

The gap in intelligence acquisition capabilities was revealed almost instantly.

When he shifted his gaze away from the unaware Nakajima, Uesugi Tetsu realized that the gymnasium had suddenly become quiet, with only Ririko's soft and clear lecture voice echoing.

Looking at Nakajima's face again, Uesugi Tetsu found that he also had an expression of shock and disbelief.

Nakajima tilted his head back and murmured, "This understanding... is much deeper than mine."

Immediately afterwards, a look of strong curiosity appeared on Nakajima's face.

A few minutes later.

"——The above is just my humble understanding. It would be great if it could help you."

After saying this, Lilizi bowed to everyone, then walked down with clattering steps amidst the warm applause.

Noisy discussions immediately erupted from the surroundings.

Someone suddenly laughed out loud: "I got it, I got it, hahahaha!"

Some people just watched and didn't hear anything: "I just hugged the long black silk legs of the Tokugawa goddess and started sucking and biting them!"

More of the discussion was about it seeming that what Ririkos was going to say was... a little better than what the previous Onmyoji Nakajima had said?
This is the truth.

Because even Nakajima himself was shocked by this extremely profound understanding.

What puzzled him even more was that there was not even the slightest spiritual fluctuation coming from this girl named "Tokugawa Ririko".

You know, unless an Onmyoji has entered the realm of ghosts and gods or practiced some extremely special methods, it is difficult for him to control the dissipation of his own spiritual power.

Doesn’t this prove one fact - that his young colleague is not an Onmyoji?

Nakajima asked her this question curiously.

Lilizi responded as a matter of course: "I have extensive experience in breathing techniques, so I can naturally apply my knowledge to other subjects and understand these basic techniques. It's not difficult."

Is this, is this right?
Aren’t those who practice breathing techniques just big, rough guys who practice in the hottest days of summer and the coldest days of winter, with muscles growing to their brains? Do they also know about Yin and Yang magic?

Nakajima, full of doubts, walked back onto the stage, pressed his palms together, and the slight release of spiritual energy instantly quieted the entire stadium.

He said, "Well, after Mr. Tokugawa's explanation, I believe everyone must have understood how to get started with the basics of the Soul-Absorbing Method."

"So, please all students enter a meditative state right here, and strive to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, absorbing the first wisp of spiritual power."

The students who aspired to achieve transcendence closed their eyes, trying to calm their minds and enter a meditative state.

And those troublemakers who couldn't sit still were also stimulated by the spiritual power released by Nakajima just now, so they kept quiet and stopped talking to each other.

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Nakajima also stepped down from the stage and pulled Ririko aside. He changed his previous impatient look and humbly asked Ririko for advice.

"The spiritual power inside the gym seems to be much higher than outside." Seeing Lilizi being pulled aside, Uesugi Tetsu made a decision, "Let's take this opportunity to max out my proficiency in the entry-level spirit control technique."

This is different from the previous situation where practicing the spirit control technique was very difficult.

After the quality of the three-tailed fox incarnation... no, now it should be said that the four-tailed fox incarnation was upgraded to "epic", Uesugi Tetsu's practice in Yin-Yang magic has also become a simple mode.

Not only did his spiritual attributes improve significantly from practicing many classics on the Four Paths and Five Elements, but he was also surprised by the epic-quality four-tailed fox incarnation.

Uesugi Che stroked the cool jade plaque in his hand, which was intricately carved with the image of a four-tailed fox, and recalled its properties.

【Four-tailed Fox Jade Plate】

[Quality: Epic]

[Effect 1: Increases the wearer's spiritual affinity.]

[Effect 11: Increases the wearer's spiritual attributes by one-third of the "Demon Incarnation - Four-Tailed Fox" attribute. Current spiritual attributes +.]

[——A warm jade plaque engraved with a lifelike four-tailed fox feels cool in the hand.]

Uesugi Tetsu also just realized that the properties of the props that each incarnation can transform into are different after being promoted to epic.

However, after taking into account the attributes improved by the jade token, Uesugi Tetsu's own attribute panel becomes——

【Physique: 30】

[Will: 14]

【Charm: 9】

[Spiritual Arts: 23 → 34]

The spiritual attribute has reached a terrifying 34 points, becoming Uesugi Tetsu's current highest attribute - of course, it can also be compared with the spiritual power value in the body of the Onmyoji named Nakajima.

Although the improvement of these 11 spiritual attributes is not small, it is still inferior to the effect of the jade card - "enhancing spiritual affinity".

At first, Uesugi Tetsu didn't take this effect seriously.

But when he learned the four classics of the Five Elements and really started to practice, he found that the speed of practice could be almost doubled depending on whether he had the jade token hanging on his body or not!
It is precisely because Uesugi Tetsu has always hung this seemingly ordinary jade token on his waist,
Only then could he, within seven days and without delaying other things, continuously brush up all the introductory classics of the four elements of "gold, wood, water, fire and earth" to the entry level, bringing himself a full 5 points of spiritual attribute bonus.

The proficiency required to upgrade these introductory books is high, and the attributes and new skills gained after upgrading are very few, so Uesugi Che only upgraded them to the entry level and stopped.

"The proficiency required to reach the skilled level is similar to that required to reach the mastery level of the Spirit Control Technique, but they only give you a few Yin-Yang techniques like Fireball and Water Ball. Who would actually practice them..."

[Basic Yin-Yang Magic: Gold (Beginner 0/600)]

[Basic Yin-Yang Art: Wood (Beginner 0/600)]

[Basic Yin-Yang Art: Water (Beginner 0/600)]

[Basic Yin-Yang Art: Fire (Beginner 0/600)]

[Basic Yin-Yang Art: Earth (Beginner 0/600)]

The art of controlling spirits is a fragment of the great Yin-Yang art, and it may bring unexpected surprise effects if it is upgraded later.

But what is the future of these basic Yin-Yang techniques that the Special Affairs Office has put on its official website for everyone to see?
Maybe the limit is reached when you reach the proficient level.

Glancing at the series of zeros next to the Five Elements Yin-Yang Spell on the panel, Uesugi Tetsu shook his head.

And even now, the art of controlling spirits seems to have demonstrated some effects that are different from these common Yin-Yang arts.

——Practice quickly.

That’s right, the speed of practicing the Spirit Control Technique is really fast.

Uesugi Tetsu had tested it and found that even without the Four-Tailed Fox Jade Token, the time it took to absorb the same amount of spiritual power using the skilled level Spirit Control Technique would be one or two times faster than the "Basic Yin-Yang Technique·Gold".

Compared to the "Basic Spirit Gathering Technique" taught to students, it is more than three or four times faster!
Fast training means fast proficiency improvement, and can also make Uesugi Tetsu's spiritual attributes grow faster.

——Even if he doesn’t have the sophisticated Yin-Yang magic for the time being, he still has the folding fan’s thunder and the four-tailed fox’s innate skills to use!
With this thought, Uesugi Che could not help but calm down and concentrate on practicing the spirit control technique, swallowing up the spiritual energy in the entire gymnasium, and his proficiency increased rapidly.

Kitano Runa, who was sitting next to him, opened her mouth, but seeing that Uesugi Tetsu had completely entered a state of cultivation, she didn't want to disturb him.

As a result, those talented students who were about to sense the first ray of spiritual energy from heaven and earth all showed puzzled expressions.

How can such a basic induction be interrupted?
Is there something wrong with what I learned?
But as time went by, beads of sweat began to seep out of their foreheads - why, why couldn't they sense anything at all?
Elsewhere, Onmyoji Nakajima, who was concentrating on discussing improvements to the basic Soul Gathering Technique with Ririkko, felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He looked embarrassed and answered the call impatiently, "What's going on?"

Suddenly, a voice came from the phone: "Um...Mr. Nakajima, please check whether the spirit gathering barrier is activated normally."

Nakajima raised an eyebrow: "How could there be any mistakes in the barrier I set up myself?"

"Ah, sorry... maybe it's not the barrier's fault, but our data shows that the concentration of spiritual energy in the gymnasium seems to have remained unchanged. In fact, it has decreased significantly. Could you please take a look at the cause?"

The concentration of spiritual energy has not changed. Isn't this just a roundabout way of saying that there is something wrong with his spirit gathering barrier?

Nakajima was thinking this when his eyes suddenly widened.

In his spiritual vision, there were two exaggerated spiritual energy funnels, one large and one small, rushing towards the center above the entire gymnasium, and even the spiritual energy outside the gymnasium was not spared.

Looking closely, I saw two people sitting under the funnel.

At this moment, the sound of spiritual energy flowing rang in Nakajima's ears.

He was so engrossed in his discussion with Lord Tokugawa that he didn't even notice this bizarre phenomenon!

Nakajima glanced at the time and found that more than twenty minutes had passed - no wonder no student said that he had sensed spiritual energy in these twenty minutes.

A student who can sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in such a harsh and outrageous environment must be a god.

Nakajima put the phone close to his ear again and was silent for a moment: "There is no doubt that my spirit gathering barrier is working."

He added: "If there was a problem, the spiritual energy in the gym would have been sucked dry long ago."

"Huh?" the staff on the other end of the phone asked.

After explaining, Nakajima added, "In order not to affect other students, I'll take them away for testing individually."

"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Nakajima."

……

Uesugi Tetsu felt someone patting his shoulder, interrupting his training.

[Your skill, Spirit Controlling Technique proficiency +30! ]

[Spirit Control Technique (Proficient 392/600)]

The huge spiritual power funnel above the gymnasium trembled and dissipated.

Nakajima's mouth twitched when he saw this. He patted Kitano Runa's shoulder again, and then saw that the small spiritual power funnel also disappeared.

"To think something this outrageous could happen, this trip was definitely worth it..."

He sighed, then explained to Uesugi Tetsu and the other man who looked unhappy.

"I'm wondering why, even though the spiritual energy concentration has increased so much, the cultivation speed hasn't increased much."

Uesugi Tetsu poked Kitano Runa's shoulder and said, "So, Kitano-san, you're also sucking hard."

Then he looked at the many classmates who were already sweating profusely and looking unbearable, and coughed rather embarrassedly: "In that case, it is indeed my fault."

Following Nakajima out of the gymnasium with Kitano Runa, Uesugi Tetsu looked at him and clapped his hands, then explained the sudden situation to the students.

For a moment, Uesugi Che could feel hundreds of gazes falling on him at the same time.

Or envy, or questioning, or scrutiny...

But Uesugi Tetsu didn't dodge or evade. After yawning, he revealed a provocative smile: "That's right! I just absorbed too much spiritual energy by myself, causing everyone to be completely unable to sense it. I'm sorry, sorry, I'm so sorry!"

The gymnasium became deafeningly noisy after a moment of silence. Uesugi Tetsu, who was standing at the door, thought for a moment and imitated the method used by Onmyoji Nakajima to release his own spiritual power.

The noisy shouting and cursing suddenly stopped, and the gymnasium became silent again in an instant.

Uesugi Tetsu nodded in satisfaction and left.

Lilizi followed behind him and nudged him with her shoulder: "Why are you so flamboyant today?"

"Can this be considered ostentation?" Uesugi Tetsu asked, "This is a good opportunity to let everyone see the stark difference between them and me."

"Lilizi, haven't you noticed that many people's eyes have changed when they look at you today?"

Uesugi Che curled his lips and said, "If I continue to keep a low profile and make a fortune quietly, God knows how much trouble will come to me. When the time comes, the younger ones will be beaten and the older ones will be beaten. That would be really annoying."

"—The best way to deal with troubles is to prevent them from happening."

He didn't want to be forced to play the old game of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, thus wasting precious time for cultivation and exploring the ordinary world.

Lilizi nodded in agreement: "That seems to be the case."

She blinked, grabbed Kitano Runa, who became taciturn when surrounded by people, and chuckled, "Why don't we just make a fortune loudly?"

Lilizi raised her finger. "I've read the report before. The Special Affairs Office will decide who to allocate resources to based on the talents of our students."

"I guess we'll be having a special talent test soon."

Lilizi suggested, "Since we've already made a name for ourselves, why not take this opportunity to rise to the top of Arakawa District, and even all of Tokyo? Completely eliminate any potential drama, and meet other geniuses along the way."

Uesugi Tetsu nodded: "That's a good idea. Since we're going to do it, let's do it thoroughly."

"Forehead……"

Once again sandwiched between them, Kitano Runa remembered her special physique and weakly raised her hand: "Can I not participate..."

"No!" Lilizi interrupted her, "I heard that you're prone to encountering ghosts, Runa, and that's true. That's why you need to become even stronger. After all, it's not always possible to get lucky enough to allow ordinary people to escape."

The truth is this.

but……

Kitano Runa always worries that after she succeeds in her training, she will encounter more terrifying ghosts and get involved in more bizarre supernatural events.

"——Please follow me, all three of you."

"In front," said Nakajima's assistant, leading the three to a room in the corner of a teaching building.

Uesugi Tetsu looked inside a room that vaguely resembled a classroom. The surface of the ball was engraved with spells, and the interior was filled with mostly bright blue liquid.

There are also a bunch of ridiculously expensive-looking instruments connected to the back of the sphere.

"In view of your performance just now, we have temporarily modified this place to test the limit of your spiritual energy absorption speed."

The assistant patiently explained, "The sphere contains liquid spiritual energy. You two will simply enter the room, touch the sphere, and absorb the spiritual energy within as best you can within one minute."

Is there such a good thing?

Uesugi Tetsu was stunned when he heard this. He smiled kindly and said, "That's troublesome."

"I come first, I come first!"

Ririkko withdrew her gaze from the hesitant Kitano Runa and raised her hand eagerly, looking towards her assistant.

The assistant made a phone call, and the voice of Nakajima Kenshou came through.

So he nodded.

Lilizi walked in with her head held high.

One minute later.

Lilizi opened the tightly closed door, still looking arrogant.

She said loudly and nonchalantly, "My spiritual energy absorption speed is zero times that of an ordinary person!"

The assistant stared at the data copied from the mobile phone in silence, even wondering if there was something wrong with the instrument.

Zero times?
Isn't this equivalent to being born with a holy body that is completely incompatible with spiritual power and Yin-Yang magic?
The assistant had reviewed thousands of data files on the speed of spiritual energy absorption, but this big "0" was the first time he had seen it.

The assistant suddenly felt an itch on his head: "Uh... next one."

Hearing this, Lilizi pushed Kitano Runa from behind and grinned at her: "Runa, come on!"

With the example of "zero times" in front of her, Kitano Runa was not so nervous anymore - she knew that in this different era, training was a hurdle she had to face.

Kitano Runa walked into the room.

Another minute.

Kitano Runa lowered her head and walked out nervously.

Looking at the outrageous data on the phone, the assistant fell silent again. "Just now it was zero, but this time it's 287 times higher than the standard value? Is there really something wrong with the instrument?"

A few seconds later, a shining golden "S" popped up on the phone screen, startling the assistant slightly.

Then, his expression turned serious, and he bowed slightly to Kitano Runa: "Kitano-san, in view of your outstanding performance, after internal discussion within the Special Affairs Office, your potential level has been rated as 'S'."

"——Afterwards, someone will contact you."

Kitano Runa: "Ah? Eh? Me?"

Lilizi immediately hugged the astonished girl and praised her.

"It seems that the 'strange phenomenon' that Mr. Nakajima just mentioned is this Mr. Kitano." The assistant thought.

He relaxed a little and said, "Next."

Uesugi Tetsu turned his gaze from the beautiful scene before him, nodded, and walked into the room.

As soon as he placed his hand on the ball, Uesugi Tetsu felt a little regretful - there was really an extraordinary amount of spiritual power in this ball, it would be great if he could transform into a four-tailed fox.

"Uesugi-san, start absorbing when you're ready."

Uesugi Che sighed, closed his eyes and began to practice the spirit control technique with all his strength.

[Because of your first exposure to liquid spiritual energy, your skill, Spirit Controlling Technique proficiency, increases by 50!]

[Because the Soul Control Technique absorbs a large amount of spiritual energy, your Soul Technique attribute +1! ]

A minute passed in a flash, and Uesugi Tetsu reluctantly moved his hand away from the ball.

However, he now felt as if his body was about to burst with spiritual energy, and even if he continued to absorb, he could only absorb for a few dozen seconds longer.

Uesugi Tetsu pushed open the door with a little regret, and saw his assistant who looked like he had seen a ghost and Onmyoji Nakajima who had arrived beside him at some point.

Huh? Are you looking at my data?
Uesugi Tetsu curiously moved behind the two of them and clearly saw the text displayed on the phone screen.

[——The test subject's spiritual energy absorption speed is 499 times the standard value! Potential level is directly rated as S!]

[——Error! Potential level assessment conflict!]

[——Correction! The potential level of this tester has been personally assessed as "Seed" by "Yin Yang Master Nanjo Aimi"!]

He asked, "What level is the seed? Can it be higher than the S that emits golden legendary light?"

Nakajima and his assistant were startled and looked at Uesugi Tetsu as if they had seen a ghost.

499 times... Is this still human?
When he saw the two spiritual energy vortexes in the gymnasium earlier, Nakajima felt that things were going to get interesting—perhaps he would encounter a genius whose spiritual energy absorption speed was a hundred times higher than the standard value!
But 500 times?
Not to mention Arakawa Ward and Tokyo, it is not certain whether there is a character that can be compared with him in the entire eastern region or even Honshu Island.

Absorbing spiritual energy 10 times the standard value means having the talent to become an Onmyoji, and more than 50 times can be called a genius.

Nakajima's spiritual energy absorption speed is 46 times the standard value, which is just on the dividing line between ordinary people and geniuses. Therefore, he has reached his current level after only a few years of exposure to Yin-Yang magic.

And 500 times... Even if this Uesugi Tetsu is terrible in other aspects, the ceiling of his future achievements will definitely be far beyond him.

Not to mention that the other party was a "seed" personally evaluated by Nanjo Daizu.

Nakajima took a deep breath and explained to the three people.

After a while, Uesugi Che understood.

The so-called "seed" is the genius with the highest potential in each administrative district and who can enjoy the most cultivation resources. There are two places in total.

One was nominated by the major forces in the area, and the other was selected from among many S-level potential people.

The relevant regulations were only initially issued by the five-member committee five days ago, so they are far from rigorous and complete. Currently, they are only being implemented on a large scale in Tokyo to see how the situation develops.

"Not bad."

Uesugi Tetsu nodded happily, and then enthusiastically communicated with Nakajima about matters related to "resources".

——Although all the things mentioned above were good things, a lot of bad things also happened during these seven days.

For a whole week, Uesugi Tetsu, who had not died once, did not make any new discoveries at Rugetsu Station.

The soul ash did not increase, but instead decreased slightly due to the consumption of practice. The driver and mountain hotel in this ghost story still did not appear.

The only difference is that the exploration level of the most useless map has increased to 82%.

The reason why he didn't go to Edo Castle to kill monsters in his free time was, firstly, because Uesugi Tetsu had to wait for the new card pool to appear, and he was not short of soul ashes at the moment; secondly, Lilizi had been staying by his side these days.

With a perfect swordsmanship teacher by his side whose strength has undergone a qualitative change and is on standby 24 hours a day, Uesugi Che is so tired that his eyes roll after training every day, so how can he have the energy to fight against demons?

However, Uesugi Tetsu had already asked for divination from the Imperial Divine Tsukushi before, so he was confident that he would not get stuck.

All he was thinking about was whether he could find a mountain hotel within five days.

The answer given by the fortune stick is [good luck].

And today is exactly the fifth day after the fortune-telling.

　Volume 2, start!
