Zongman, starting from picking up Yuyuko

"Guitang?"

Hearing these two familiar words, Yuyuko frowned slightly. Although she had lost most of her memories, some things could not be forgotten just by losing her memories. After all, she remembered clearly that man who had ruined her revival plan many times hundreds of years ago.

"Yes, it's said that this is a power that only half-demons can display. They face their own human weakness and then, through the entanglement of fear, they can greatly increase their strength."

Yuyuko explained, and Hayami Yuu saw that she understood and stopped hiding it. She then released the half-demon power copied from Nura Rikuo and said at the same time.

"That's perfect, Yuyokofun, do you want to try it with me?"

The black mist wrapped around Hayami Yu. At this moment, he had released his fear. Since he copied the half-demon power of Nura Rikuo, that is to say, Hayami Yu's fear also carried his characteristics, mirror flowers and water moons, which could confuse and interfere with the cognition of people around him, making them unable to see themselves.

The Hayami Yu in Yuyuko's eyes disappeared almost in the blink of an eye. When he appeared again, he was already in front of her. Yuyuko always felt that she had seen this familiar feeling somewhere, but she didn't think much about it. She quickly came to her senses and nodded in agreement.

"I see."

As soon as the words fell, a black demonic aura appeared around Yuyuko, gradually rising from the soles of her feet and spreading to Hayami Yuu's body like clouds. This was Yuyuko's fear.

Soon, the fear of both sides began to overlap and merge. Hayami Yu seemed to sense something and looked back. Yuyuko had completely entered into his fear.

It is worth mentioning that the use of ghost entanglement requires mutual trust in each other, and Yuyuko is able to integrate into it, which also shows that Yuyuko no longer doubts Hayami Yu at this moment, and has wholeheartedly become Hayami Yu's Shikigami.

Compared to the beginning, Hayami Yu clearly felt that his strength had increased by about four times, and this powerful force made him unable to help but lightly swing a knife at a big tree in front of him.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the demonic power formed a sword blade and swung out, instantly breaking the tree in front of him in half. At the same time, a ten-meter-long gully appeared on the ground. But almost in the next second, the ghost-entangled state was directly withdrawn, and Yuyuko instantly collapsed to the ground.

"Hayuko!"

Hayami Yuu quickly caught her and held her in his arms.

"I'm fine. This ghost entanglement consumes more spiritual energy than I thought. I can no longer move, so could you please ask the master to replenish my spiritual energy?"

Yuyuko asked with blushing cheeks, and Hayami nodded in agreement.

"no problem."

Then he lowered his head and kissed her, intending to give her some replenishment first and then replenish it properly after returning. However, as soon as Hayami Yu lowered her head, Yuyuko directly pressed her fingers on Hayami Yu's mouth, stood up, found a tree, bent down and said.

"Be more direct, Master, and don't waste extra spiritual energy."

Hayami Yu was a little confused. She couldn't move, so why was she waiting for him here? It seemed that he was too innocent.

"I see."

At this point, Hayami Yuu couldn't refuse and could only face the challenge head-on. After all, he also needed to think about the future. The fused Yuyuko and the soul of Yamabuki Otome within her body were all things he needed to consider. And this was the only thing he could do now...

At the same time, while the two were fighting, Geng Xizi also came here following the fluctuation of spiritual power. However, after hearing the sound of constant ups and downs under the trees in the forest, her world collapsed in an instant. She was so angry that she flew over and cursed.

"Stinky fox!"

At the same time, Yuyuko looked at Geng Xizi who was running towards her, and the smug smile on her face was the smugest one she had ever had since she met Geng Xizi.

It's like saying, you stinky woman, do you really think I can't compete with you? I just don't want to compete with you.

……

……

043 I will cheer you on, Suguha

Hayami Yu is famous for being fair. Since Geng Xizi wants it, he will of course moisturize her as well. It's just that it's not easy to stretch outside, so Hayami Yu didn't fight too much.

And the key point is that one of them is a monster and the other is a ghost. Ordinary people can't see them at all. This is very embarrassing. It would be fine if they are not discovered, but once they are discovered, Hayami Yu will definitely be regarded as a lunatic.

So after a quick finish with the two of them, Hayami Yu quickly took them away.

"Xiaoyou, what are you doing?"

At present, Hayami Yu is gathering a ball of spiritual power in his hand, and then the spiritual power is constantly compressed and condensed by him. It continues to be compressed and condensed, and in the end, it gradually forms the shape of a blue Daruma.

"If you're asking about the shape, this is called Daruma. If you're asking about the function, it's used to increase the power of Shikigami."

At present, the three are on their way back, and Hayami Yu answers Geng Yuzi's question. It was mentioned before that the performance abilities of the three-tailed fox and Youdao Ji are not particularly good. Later, after Hayami Yu infused the three-tailed fox with spiritual power, he realized that they can improve their levels and awaken like in the game.

Of course, in addition to this quick method, it can also be improved through training and actual combat in normal times. This is what Hayami Yu discovered through Youdao Ji, because she is the one who has appeared in the most battles so far and is also the one Hayami Yu likes to summon the most. After a lot of actual combat, her strength is also a little stronger than at the beginning, but this method of improvement is very slow and far inferior to a spiritual power infusion.

The so-called spiritual power infusion is essentially to replenish spiritual power. That is to say, no matter what method is used, as long as the spiritual power can be replenished to a certain amount, it can trigger their awakening and power enhancement.

So Hayami Yu wanted to try and see if he could improve through this method, because there will be more and more Shikigami in the future, and by then even if he is an iron man he will not be able to withstand it, so he has to think of other ways.

"So that's how it is. I understand. But then again, can it also be used for Stinky Fox and Huang Quan?" Geng Xizi asked curiously.

"Theoretically, it's possible. However, it takes a lot of time to condense a blue Daruma. At the current rate, it takes about five days to produce one. But for the cost of these two, I might as well just lie down. After all, if they work harder, they can eat better."

Although it is a new way, it takes too long, and the replenishment power for the two of them is not great. After all, it is for the early stage Shikigami to awaken and enhance their strength. Their own strength is not low, and they have already fully grown. They only need sufficient spiritual power to exert their original strength. Therefore, Hayami Yu did not intend to use it on them. However, after thinking about it, Hayami Yu temporarily took Daruma back. After all, it was too time-consuming and could only be done slowly.

"Master, come and take a look at this!"

Yuyuko suddenly called out. Hayami Yu stopped, looked back at Yuyuko standing under the billboard, and immediately walked over to ask.

"What's wrong? Do you want to buy a new set of clothes? But by the way, this maid outfit seems to suit you very well. Miss Yuko, what do you think?"

"Yeah, I think it's suitable too."

Geng Xizi nodded in response, then looked up and down at Yuyuko's figure. Although they had similar figures, Yuyuko was actually a little slimmer than Geng Xizi, and her body was also a little bigger than Geng Xizi's. Coupled with her special cold white skin, it would definitely be a special bonus if she wore a maid outfit.

"What are you two thinking about? Look here."

Yuyuko felt a little helpless, and then pointed to a small advertisement in the corner. The advertisement contained information about a kendo competition, but what Yuyuko cared about was not the kendo competition, but the prize for the champion, a long sword with very high artistic value. On the hilt of the sword, there was a crystal clear red stone.

"This...could it be the Killing Stone?"

Hayami Yu was a little surprised. Although it was just a picture, the characteristics of the Killing Stone were very obvious. It was a red, crystal clear stone, and a vague black shadow could be seen in the stone, the shape of which was more like a fox.

"It's definitely the Killing Stone, Master. You promised me that."

Yuyuko frowned slightly in affirmation and looked at Hayami Yu. After all, this was the crystallization of her own demonic power, and it was impossible for her not to recognize it. After Hayami Yu received her affirmative reply, she knew that she had no choice, and then sighed helplessly and said.

"Alright, in that case, we can only participate in the Kendo Tournament."

Although he was helpless, Hayami Yu would not go back on his word, so he quickly turned around and headed towards the Kendo Association. As he was once a triple champion, he should be able to jump the queue and participate. It would be best to arrange him to the last round, otherwise it would be a waste of time to fight round after round.

However, when he appeared at the Kendo Association, the girl at the front desk was stunned because of the familiar look, so she quickly stood up and said respectfully.

"Welcome Mr. Hayami!"

"Long time no see, Miss Reiko. I want to sign up for the kendo tournament. I'm in the mixed division, not the men's division. So, the time hasn't passed yet, can I still sign up?"

"Of course, if Mr. Hayami wants to participate, he can do so anytime as long as the competition hasn't started yet."

The front desk clerk immediately said, and then signed him up. However, as Hayami Yu successfully signed up for this kendo competition, the news quickly spread in the kendo circle. The former triple crown champion, that man, is back. It was this piece of news that made Hayami Yu very dissatisfied.

"A mixed kendo tournament featuring the strongest triple champion of all time and the strongest double champion of the past two years. The strongest in history versus the strongest in modern times. This will be an extremely exciting showdown, don't miss it!"

Hayami Yu felt a little embarrassed because the sense of déjà vu was too strong, and they were just competing in skills, not a life-and-death fight.

……

……

At the same time, after receiving such a message, Kiritani Suguha, who was taking extra classes in a training class, was so surprised that she stood up instantly. She was extremely happy in her heart because she finally had the opportunity to prove herself.

Thinking of this, Kiritani Suguha decided to increase the intensity of her training starting from today. The official competition will be the day after tomorrow. As the champion of the previous session, she does not need to start from the beginning, but will automatically advance to the third round. As the three-time champion, Hayami Yu probably does not need it either.

The first three rounds of the kendo competition are auditions, with two-on-two duels and the strongest ones advancing. Before the third round, more than half of the contestants will be eliminated, and after the third or even fourth round, the strength and intensity of the contestants will increase exponentially.

"Suguha, you worked so hard today."

Sitting next to the kendo hall, an orange-haired girl had just finished training. She was drinking water and asked Kiritani Suguha who was waving a bamboo sword in front of her. Sweat kept dripping from her forehead, but Kiritani Suguha had no intention of stopping. Instead, her sword-swinging momentum became stronger and stronger.

"Because I'm about to face that man. This is a fateful duel between him and me. Asuna, you should understand this feeling, right?"

Kiritani Suguha answered, and Asuna looked thoughtful, thinking about the rumors of the past few days, and then said to her with a smile.

"A fateful duel, isn't it? Is Suguha attracted to that man? That's right, he's a young triple champion, handsome, tall, and powerful. As a current double champion, it's no exaggeration to say that you and him are a match made in heaven."

Asuna said jokingly. After hearing this, Kiritani Suguha's cheeks instantly became red and hot. She even stopped training and turned around to explain to Asuna in panic.

"Yayaya... Asuna, what are you talking about? I've never thought of it that way. Even though he's definitely very strong and powerful, and very handsome, and exactly my type, and I often watch his match videos, but but but, but I've never thought of it that way!"

Her nervous and flustered explanation actually exposed her thoughts. Asuna looked at her with a smirk and deliberately reminded her.

"Haha, is that so? But you don't sound like you haven't thought about it before, Suguha. You've been exposed."

"Asuna...hate..."

Suddenly reminded, Kiritani Suguha squatted on the ground with her eyes wide open, then blushed and whispered something resentful to Asuna. Asuna smiled slightly, immediately went over and patted her shoulder and said.

"Don't worry, Suguha. I'll cheer you on. Whether it's love or competition, I'll always be there for you!"

……

……

044 You must take responsibility for me

Although Asuna had exposed her inner thoughts, Kiritani Suguha only wanted to defeat Hayami Yu and prove herself. As for the thing she liked, she would talk about it later. After all, the two had not yet had any formal contact, and she didn't know what kind of person the other was.

"By the way, Asuna, aren't you participating in this competition? You're actually quite strong, right?"

Suguha Kiritani asked, Asuna and she were from the same school, and since they were both in the kendo club, they got to know each other because of kendo, but compared to ordinary bamboo swords and wooden swords, Asuna actually preferred the small and light rapier.

"I'm not interested in this. Kendo is just for amateur physical training. Once it comes to fame and fortune, it becomes completely different for me. By the way, Suguha, I'm free anyway, so I'll go test that man for you."

Asuna suddenly suggested this, and Kiritani Suguha blushed and hurried to explain.

"I've already said that, I don't have that idea right now, really..."

"Then I won't go?" Asuna said deliberately.

"..."

"Don't...you should go..."

Kiritani Suguha blushed and hesitated for a while, but finally chose to agree. Seeing this, Asuna could only smile at her and said nothing. After all, Suguha was a little timid and needed a push from her. However, it was not possible today. Tomorrow was Monday, and she could go to his school to investigate. The competition would be held the day after tomorrow, so it would not delay either side.

With this in mind, Asuna rested for a while and left the kendo gym, then went home to prepare for tomorrow's test.

……

……

It's Monday afternoon after school, and Hayami Yu is currently asking for leave for tomorrow, but in fact, the registration is on Saturday, so he can come early to deal with it on Sunday.

But there was no way. Zhou Tian was invited, and then he happily played in a three-person team in the rented house with Yuyuko, Geng Xizi, and Jianshan Huangquan. This was also the first time he played in a three-person team with the three of them, so he had no intention of doing any serious work at all.

"Very good, that's it."

After successfully getting the leave approval from the teacher, Hayami Yu immediately headed towards the student union. As long as he got to the student union, his mission would be accomplished. After all, he was the vice president and still needed to ask for leave from the student union.

However, as soon as he arrived at the bottom of the teaching building, he found a sneaky orange-haired girl standing at the school gate, as if she was peeping into something. This was outrageous. She dared to invade his harem paradise, so Hayami Yu quickly walked towards the school gate, intending to give her a lecture.

But when he came in front of the girl, he was stunned, because the girl's appearance...

"you……"

"Hello, my name is Asuna. Excuse me, are you Mr. Hayami?"

Asuna interrupted and asked with a smile. Since she recognized Hayami Yu's appearance, she took the initiative to introduce herself to avoid being expelled by the other party. After all, it is easy to be disliked if you visit rashly.

"It's me, so what's the matter with Miss Asuna's visit?"

Hayami Yu asked immediately, feeling somewhat puzzled and curious. After all, he didn't even know Asuna. Although he was surprised by Asuna's existence, these were two different matters.

Asuna looked at Hayami Yu who was still smiling, and she had to admit in her heart that he was quite similar to the rumors, a very handsome man, but his personality remained to be verified.

"I'm a fan of Mr. Hayami. I heard that he signed up for a kendo competition, so I wanted to come and see how he's doing. Oh, and a friend of mine is also participating in the competition, and she's really looking forward to competing against him."

Asuna did not intend to hide it, because telling him would make him take her seriously. Sure enough, after hearing this, Hayami Yu also changed his previous attitude.

"I see. Since Miss Asuna is testing me specifically for her friend and is also my fan, please come in. I can show you around Ashford Academy."

"What an honor."

Asuna said quickly before following Hayami Yu into Ashford, their first stop being the vending machines.

"Tea, coffee, cola, anything you want to drink, I'll treat you."

"Tea, then."

"Yeah, coffee, here."

"Hey, isn't it tea?"

"Ashford Academy doesn't sell tea or cola, only coffee. If you want tea, you have to go to the student union and make it in advance."

"..."
