I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 235 Kengan Association

"you're awake?"

I opened my eyes and saw an unfamiliar ceiling.

"Where am I??"

As he sat up in bed, the tension on his face made Xiao subconsciously raise his hand to touch it.

I touched the bandages covering her face.
The smell in my nasal cavity is disinfectant.

"Don't move,"

The female nurse next to him raised her hand to stop Xiao from getting out of bed.
"I'll call the doctor."

After saying that, the young female nurse pushed open the door and left.

? ?
After his mind cleared up a bit, Xiao began to organize his memories:
During the Koshien tournament, Busujima suddenly assaulted someone and escaped from prison. She then traveled to Tokyo to investigate the incident and become stronger. Then:
He fell into a trap set by a 'yakuza organization' and was almost dismembered and sold as various parts—

brush,

After lifting the blanket and carefully feeling around inside:
call,

No parts are missing.

"You look to be in good spirits."

The door to the room was pushed open again, and a blond male doctor wearing a white coat, exuding a scholarly air, walked in.

"It's just a minor injury and food poisoning; you don't need to stay in bed any longer."

"Ah, okay."

Upon hearing this, Xiao quickly got out of bed.

The doctor appeared to be about the same height as Xiao, with a slender build. He looked like he was in his early twenties, but possessed the composed demeanor of someone in their thirties. He walked over and extended his hand to Xiao.
"The treatment fee is 50 yen. Cash or credit card?"

???

"If you don't have money, let me dissect your body."

"Dr. Yingchu!"

The nurse behind the doctor quickly interrupted, and at the same time, Xiao, who had instinctively taken a step back, bowed and apologized.

"terribly sorry,"

"This is my doctor's sense of humor, a personal hobby."

"Mr. Toja has already paid for the treatment."

Ten snake ghosts?
Xiao remembered this; in the underground parking lot, the little girl in the white mask mentioned a name:
"Is that Mr. Toza Oni-Ohma?"

"right,"

"Aren't you acquaintances?"

The young female nurse looked at the high school student in front of her with a puzzled expression.

"I can see you're also an extraordinary being, and you were sent here by Mr. Ten-Headed Demon: aren't you his disciple?"

"No, I just..."

He waved his hand apologetically, and Xiao seemed to understand.

He was just a 'passerby' who was casually saved by a hero.

"Tsk, can't it be dissected?"

The doctor, looking disappointed, waved his hand.

"Hurry, hurry!"

"I still have research to do."

After half an hour,
Standing on the street, the boy glanced back at the University of Tokyo behind him and scratched his head in confusion.

Today's events were a complete mess, but—

"Kengan Association?"

He learned the name from the approachable nurse.

The Kengan Association, unknown to ordinary people, is an underground competition organized by Tokyo's major zaibatsu (financial conglomerates). Only powerful, influential, and prominent figures can participate: these elites resolve business conflicts by pitting their 'martial artists' against each other.

It sounds like child's play, but in this extraordinary world, it is the most convenient and suitable method.

If the opponent's 'martial artist' is stronger, then surrendering and backing down can prevent the conflict from escalating; otherwise, the opponent's 'martial artist' will turn into an assassin that very night!

Various forces are actively recruiting extraordinary individuals, combining money and force to form a new era of conglomerates: for example, the doctor we just saw is not only a doctor, but also a 'martial artist' from the University of Tokyo.

It's an extraordinary person!
Yes, the University of Tokyo, with its dozens of extraordinary research projects, is itself a force to be reckoned with.

"The only way to personally thank Mr. Toja is to join the Kengan Association."

Xiao lowered his head, looking at a business card in his hand.

The business card was given to me by the nurse earlier; it only had a handwritten address and number on it.

This was an opportunity given to him by the other party because of Xiao's persistence and gratitude for the will of the Ten-Headed Demon King.

The next question is: to go, or not to go?

"Is this Tokyo?"

Upon arrival, he encountered a series of poisonings, traps, and battles with superhumans, before being rescued. He also learned that an organization like the 'Kengan Society' had taught the young man a harsh lesson.

"set off!"

Carrying his bamboo sword, Xiao strode out.

The debts of gratitude must be repaid, and the tasks that need to be done must still be completed!
No matter what darkness this city may hold, he just needs to stick to his principles.

"Tsk, this is never going to end."

In the chase, Busujima sped out of Tokyo at a speed comparable to modern transportation, crossed Yokohama, and plunged into Motokaiyama, north of Yokosuka; however, as soon as she stopped, the woman with gray eyes would quickly catch up.

We must find a way.
"Aren't you going to run away?"

In the lush green forest, Pegasus, who had caught up with them, glanced at the high school girl kneeling on the rock, closing her eyes and adjusting her breathing.

"What ability allows you to keep up?"

As Busujima sat recovering his strength, he opened his eyes and looked at the persistent pursuer.

"It's nothing, I just have a better view."

Upon hearing the other party's reply, Busujima fell silent.

Unlike her 'Eye of God,' the opponent's 'Eye of God' was unassuming and didn't seem to possess any dazzling abilities. Yet, it was extremely troublesome: once attacked, it would sever spiritual energy, allowing the opponent to focus on speed rather than powerful attacks.

In addition, the unpredictable range of sight made it impossible for her to escape.

"If you want to wait until I fall into your trap,"

Pointing to the ground in front of Busujima, Tenma stepped forward.

"Then I will grant your wish,"

? !
Having realized it was a trap, they still...
Watching Pegasus Nozomi approach step by step, Busujima bit his lip.

They were looked down upon!
brush,

Just as Tenma was about to walk five meters in front of her, Busujima, who was kneeling and resting, suddenly pulled with his five fingers.

Brush, brush, brush

Three invisible 'slashes' appeared out of thin air, cutting through the ground and vegetation, and suddenly encircled and attacked Pegasus Hope from all directions!

"The carbon fiber steel wire of the Koga family patriarch."

Pegasus hoped that a single glance would reveal the true nature of these 'slashes'.

That's right, after the head of the Koga family practiced the 'breathing technique' diligently, he mastered the ability to control steel wires using 'magnetic force'.

These carbon fiber steel wires, capable of supporting tons of weight, became invincible assassination weapons in the hands of Takeo Koga; a simple twist and pull of the wire could slice a person into pieces. Unfortunately—

When it comes to tightrope walking, who dares to compare with the Uchiha clan?
"Dragon Fire Technique!"

Using three steel wires borrowed from a certain ninja clan head, they formed an encirclement; at the same time, Busujima formed hand seals, raised his fingers, and spat out a mouthful.

The raging flames spread rapidly along the steel wire. This speed-based technique was incredibly fast, making it difficult to defend against. The steel wire restricted movement, and the surging flames threatened to slice and ignite the Pegasus—

"Back to the days!"

With a spin, spiritual energy formed a rapidly rotating circle.

The defense, dubbed 'absolute defense,' instantly deflected the steel wire and the flames.

Tsk, what a shameless ability!
The key is
Cannot be copied!

Having anticipated this, Busujima simultaneously pushed off the ground, lightning gathering in her legs and stimulating her muscles, unleashing her strongest power.

crackling

A flash of lightning,
As her vision was obscured by the deflected flames, she sprinted to the back of her opponent.

The left hand loosely grips the wooden knife, and electric current forms rings between the five fingers.

Meanwhile, the right hand also injected electricity into the wooden knife.
"Magnetic Iaijutsu Draw Slash!"

tear-

The wooden sword was suddenly drawn and slashed horizontally, creating a sudden burst of bright light in the mountain forest.

Rumble,

After a slight pause,
Trees within a radius of several dozen meters on the battlefield fell in half, their cuts as smooth as mirrors!
This strike was not only powered by physical strength and spiritual energy, but also by technology: using his hands to simulate the acceleration mode of a 'magnetic cannon,' Busujima unleashed a true 'supersonic slash,' the resulting vacuum blade powerful enough to cleave the entire battlefield in two.

Under immense pressure from Pegasus's hopes, Busujima had no choice but to strive for a breakthrough.

Otherwise, they will be defeated and captured!
"What a stunning strike."

On the opposite side of Busujima, who was still in a drawing-slash stance,

Pegasus hoped to retreat more than ten meters, as if he had already begun to dodge before Dokushima even made a gesture of drawing his sword, thus avoiding the attack.

"If I had been even 0.01 seconds slower, my head would be on the ground by now, right?"

Although that's what Nama wanted to say, in reality:
It was just a strand of hair falling down.

"you"

The carefully prepared slash only managed to sever one side of the opponent's hair, leaving Busujima speechless.

"Can your eyes see behind you?"

Whether it's steel wire or flames, they're all just a prelude to this strike.

To ensure a hit, Busujima deliberately circled behind his opponent, but the attack was still perfectly dodged.
"right,"

Now that the other party has seen through him, Tianma hopes to admit it openly and honestly.

"My 'Eye of God' has a 360-degree field of vision, capable of observing things several kilometers away, and can even see spiritual energy through skin and flesh."

"Surrender, you can't beat me."

"I must admit, you are really strong."

With most of his spiritual energy depleted and nearly unable to fight, Tokishima nodded.

"But I don't want to get caught, after all, I'm a 'bad guy'."

The high school girl, who had a clear understanding of herself, took a few steps back.

Under normal circumstances, she would definitely be in a desperate situation with nowhere to turn.

but--

"Woooooo~~"

"Roar!"

One by one, fused evil spirits emerged from the surrounding mountains and forests.

?

"You controlled them?"

Pegasus frowned. Her 'God's Eye' clearly saw that black tomoe were rotating in the eyes of these evil spirits.

The Sharingan has an innate, overwhelming control over chakra beings. Sasuke with three tomoe could easily enter Naruto's mind and scare away the Nine-Tails with a single glance. The Mangekyou Sharingan can easily control the Nine-Tails, making it the nemesis of tailed beasts.

The fused evil spirits in this world are quite similar in nature to the 'Tailed Beasts': rather, these fused evil spirits are byproducts of someone's experimentation to create Tailed Beasts.

An already incomplete soul is even more powerless in the face of the Sharingan than Orochimaru was in the face of Itachi.

"That's right, let them keep you company."

"I must take my leave now—"

After saying that, Busujima turned and ran!
These wolf-level 'fused evil spirits' let out unwilling roars and were forced to pounce on Pegasus Hope!

Edogawa Ward, Tokyo.

"Is this the power of the Susanoo bloodline?"

Witnessing all this through the 'Cloud Mirror', Jiu Kongyaoai was left only with amazement.

With its ability to replicate, control evil spirits, and possess super-powerful dynamic visuals, compared to others, my own extraordinary ability to obtain the 'Yamata no Yoru's power' seems quite ordinary.

And that eldest sister who usually stays in the Imperial Palace is also incredibly powerful: whether it's flames, water, gales, or explosions, she responds with 'spinning,' giving the impression that she can break through all laws with a single move.

In addition, its seemingly soft and yielding attacks, once touched, would make that 'poison island' look ugly, constantly dodging in a sorry state.

And the ability to track you down no matter how you try to escape or hide is simply amazing!

Thankfully, I didn't run into them.

Otherwise, I would have been beaten to death by now, wouldn't I?

Having witnessed the battle between two masters, Jiu Kongyao was both amazed and quite frightened.

So there are so many strong people?

She even thought she could secretly control Tokyo.
"No matter the era, never underestimate the heroes of the world."

The great Onmyoji lightly waved his folding fan and casually offered a warning.

"Don't underestimate yourself either."

“Strength and weakness are never absolute and unchanging. If Shuten-dōji hadn’t been completely drunk, he wouldn’t have had his head chopped off.”

"If Ōtakemaru hadn't had a conflict with his sister, he wouldn't have been attacked and sent to Mount Suzuka."

"Even the source of your power, wasn't it from overindulging in alcohol that you died?"

If it were a direct confrontation, Orochi might not have been afraid of Susanoo; unfortunately, its power had lasted too long, causing it to lower its guard and drink the mysteriously obtained celestial wine without hesitation.

Although there's nothing wrong with the immortal wine itself, the fact that one can still fight after getting drunk... should I learn some 'Drunken Fist' first?
"Master's lesson is correct,"

Jiu Kongyao nodded vigorously.
"This disciple will go to the 'Fist of Wisdom Association' to hone my martial arts skills without using any extraordinary abilities."

After being frightened away by the Ten-Headed Demon and witnessing the spectacular battle between the two "God's Eyes," the little girl suddenly understood.

So it turns out that you can unleash such formidable power just by using fists, feet, and swords?

Worth learning!

Anyway, with her 'extraordinary abilities', changing her body shape is a piece of cake.

"Well, children can be taught."

The great Onmyoji was quite pleased as he gently waved his folding fan.

Hey, you guys should be working hard to get stronger when you're offline: if you don't work hard to develop your character, where will the 'main body' go to gain experience?

For example, the 'Magnetic Iaijutsu Draw Slash' that Busujima just used, if used by the real Busujima, could unleash a 'supersonic' draw slash at Mach 10 or higher, and cleave a mountain in half with a single strike!

Although you could do that with ninjutsu, it looks so cool!
As for Poison Island
His gaze fell on the 'Cloud Mirror' created by the telescope technique, and 'Abe no Seimei' smiled slightly.

This downstream entity is not simply mindless bloodlust.

After she used the evil spirit to hold back the Pegasus...

The people have rushed towards the sea:

Jumping into the sea to escape is a long-standing tradition in island nations.
