I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 728 The Relentless Villain
"Freeze it, Ice Age!"

As the withered wooden staff swept across, a howling cold wind swept across the 'monastery ruins': since Akara and the others hadn't demanded the return of a 'complete' monastery, Yura naturally unleashed a variety of wide-range spells to cleanse the area.

"Druid?"

Its appearance is similar to the Spider Demon, and it also resembles the furrowed brow of the famous 'Queen of Blades' Andariel.

The opponent's opening move was an ice storm that covered the entire monastery; he was more like a mage specializing in ice magic than a druid.

The once turbulent sea of ​​blood instantly froze under the howling blizzard, forcing 'Andariel' standing within it to take action:

"Poisonous Nova!"

As the demon king unfurled his arms and the claws behind him, an endless expanse of dark green suddenly emanated from his body.

The dark green mist was so thick it was almost tangible, spreading out in a domineering and indifferent manner, covering and smearing everything: whether it was the ruins of a monastery or the howling sky, everything was swallowed up by the mist!

"Be careful, this fog is highly toxic."

The paladin 'Haruka' offered a warning, but in fact, no warning was needed; anyone who witnessed the mist would immediately understand that it was highly poisonous.

This mist is actually the poison of Hanzo the Salamander: it is a deadly poison that even Kage-level powerhouses find difficult to handle. In the Naruto world, Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya all struggled to suppress the poison of Hanzo and the Salamander.

They were also given the title of "Three Ninjas," and the more famous their names were, the more they reinforced Hanzo's venomous power.

"storm!"

Seeing the dark green poison spreading, Yura immediately changed tactics, throwing out a tiny tornado from her outstretched palm.

As soon as the tornado left Yura's palm, it rapidly expanded, transforming into a giant tornado that stretched from the sky to the earth!

but--

These dark green, highly poisonous substances...

It seemed that the tornado, which possessed immense mass and was capable of lifting boulders, could not be moved.
This is only natural. If the poison could be easily blown away, the Land of Wind wouldn't have been suppressed by Hanzo, and in the end, Granny Chiyo would have had to develop an antidote.

"Purification Halo!"

A bright blue light appeared beneath someone's feet, and the person pretended to activate an 'anti-poison aura'.

In reality, he was just slacking off: this was originally a test he had arranged for Yura, and how she dealt with it was up to her.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Akita Prefecture,
Apart from a few towns, most of the county is mountainous and forested.

No, it should be said that apart from those few major metropolitan areas, the rest of the island nation is a typical mountainous and forested region.

The battle that took place in the 'Dark Demiplane' was unknown to everyone, not even to Xiaoxia, a direct descendant: in fact, to prevent her unspeakable sister from recklessly throwing away supernovas, Yura claimed to be in seclusion seeking a breakthrough.

In a sense, she was indeed seeking a 'breakthrough'.

The opponent is Andariel, the weakest demon lord in the dark plane, the king of pain and torment.

As for her disciple Xiaoxia, she was training a certain boy from Zhenxin Town.

"You've learned to tread water?"

Beside the river between the two hills, Misty, who was cuddling and petting Pikachu, looked up in surprise.

How long has it been? And he's already learned to tread water?!

"Pretty much, am I a slow learner?"

Soaked to the bone, Xiao Zhi scratched his head and asked guiltily.

Having been looked down upon by Pikachu before, Ash lacked confidence in himself; seeing Misty's blank expression, he immediately doubted whether he was learning too slowly.

"It's alright, I guess."

Shocked, Xiaoxia blurted out that sentence without thinking, and immediately regretted it.

If she can learn to tread water in just a few hours, then what about the 'Kasaiin family genius' who took several days to learn?
Could it be that the family members were deliberately saying that to comfort me?

For a moment, this made Xiaoxia lose confidence.

"Now that you've mastered walking on water, I'll teach you how to wrap 'spiritual power' around your fist."

Covering the body with spiritual energy enhances both attack and defense. This is a skill possessed by most 'Strong Wolf-level' superhumans, the difference being whether it's active or passive: whether one consciously gathers spiritual energy in key areas to improve offense and defense, or whether it gradually becomes an instinctive reaction during combat.

There is no superiority or inferiority between the two; it's just that mastering them can be achieved through training when one first enters the wolf level or even the canine level.

Passive mastery, on the other hand, comes from learning through blood and fire in battle!
Learn a new skill as soon as possible.
Ultimately, it's an advantage.

It sounds romantic to fight your way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, but most people are just part of that 'mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood'.

"The technique of wrapping spiritual energy around the fist?"

Ash got interested; this technique sounded perfect for him, a self-taught 'trainer'!

If you were to teach him things like hand seals, incantations, spells, or protective barriers, a slacker like him would get dizzy on the spot.

Without realizing it, Ash had become the one being 'trained'.

A trainer should rush in and throw punches;

Elbow techniques are still techniques!
"First, you need to learn how to mobilize the spiritual energy in your meridians and then release it."

"Pay attention to the release technique; you must maintain the restraint at all times."

Having decided to teach Xiaozhi the technique of entanglement with spiritual energy, Xiaoxia began to teach him seriously: the family's core secret technique, the Shikigami Fusion Technique, was definitely not something that could be taught, or even seen.

However, there are no restrictions on techniques like entangling spiritual energy; even 'changes in the nature of spiritual energy' can be taught.

However, Xiaoxia herself hadn't learned how to change the nature of spiritual energy.
No matter how talented she is, she's only at the 'strong wolf level'.

Huff, huff...
"Let's play while we're at it."

She waved her hand, dismissing the begging 'lick pig', and sat down under the big tree with Pikachu in her arms.

"That's all the theoretical knowledge. Now it's your turn to practice."

Whether it's active learning or passive comprehension, it always requires talent and hard work: After Xiaoxia explained all the key points, what's left is the painstaking practice.

"it is good!"

"I will master 'Spiritual Entanglement' today!" With a burst of enthusiasm, Xiao Zhi stood up and began to practice the 'Spiritual Entanglement' technique, laughing and shouting as he punched and kicked.

"It can't be that fast."

Misty, who was teasing Ash, was holding Pikachu. Speaking of which, this shikigami is just too cute, cute to the point of being unfair!
According to Xiaozhi, it was a wild rare animal that was chased into town by the town's patrol dogs.

Maybe I should take some time to go for a stroll around Pallet Town?
Ok? !

brush--

Standing up, the girl named Xiaoxia's gaze sharpened.

She wasn't a "wild" trainer like Ash. In this forest, there were "shikigami paper dolls" that she had secretly scattered: they would immediately sense any spiritual energy fluctuations exceeding a certain intensity passing by.

Now, her 'shikigami paper doll' is sending an alarm: three weak wolf-level transcendents are approaching.

Judging from the trajectory, this is the destination!
Could it be another fool who's courting death and coveting the family's secret techniques?

"found it!"

"They're still stuck in this area; we've been underestimated."

"It saved us time, meow~~"

Before the person even arrived, three familiar voices came first, followed by a man and a woman dressed in 'special organization' uniforms, one with long hair and the other with a middle parting, and a cat that leaped over the bushes and landed on the clearing by the stream.

"Musashi!"

"Kojiro!"

"White Hole, a white tomorrow awaits us!!"

"Meow~~"

???

After the two people and the cat appeared, they first struck a pose and then shouted inexplicable lines;
Even Xiao Zhi, who has always been a poor student, couldn't help but wonder:
"Is everything alright here?"

Facing Xiao Zhi, who pointed to his temple, the long-haired beauty closed her eyes and sneered.

As the saying goes: As long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed.

"Little brother, there's an old saying:"

"A scholar should be viewed with new eyes after three days of separation."

"We are not who we were yesterday. Wake up!"

On the other side, a young man with a middle parting was also striking a pose while putting his thumb to his mouth, which made Xiaoxia frown.

These two guys are really entangled.

"and many more!"

Just as the opponent was about to summon a rare beast, Ash raised his hand to interrupt.

"What on earth do you want to do?"

"nonsense,"

"Of course, we'll capture and take away your rare electric mouse!"

"If it's Pikachu,"

This is exactly what Ash can't understand. In his opinion, Pikachu's strength is just so-so, except that it can talk and knows a lot of things.

"You can't even beat the patrol dogs in our town?"

"Pickup?!"

Pikachu, being held by Xiaoxia, immediately bristled!
Can you please stop nagging about that damn dog all the time? Is this topic just going to stay on?

"Ash, why are you wasting your breath talking to them?"

Before Pikachu could even speak, Misty raised an eyebrow in displeasure.

"The Rockets are an extremist organization that everyone should kill—we only swept you away last time, and you still dare to come and bother us?"

After saying that, he raised his hand and pointed.

"Go, Xiaozhi."

It wasn't that Xiaoxia mistook Xiaozhi for a 'shikigami'; rather, although the opponent consisted of two people and a cat, their spiritual energy fluctuations were only at the weak wolf level, making them hardly a formidable enemy to Xiaoxia. It was a good opportunity for Xiaozhi to practice—and besides, the best way to deal with such a half-baked 'trainer' was to defeat them before summoning a shikigami.

However, Xiao Zhi did not react.

"what are you waiting for?"

"Let's wait for them to summon their rare beasts~~"

Hearing Xiaozhi's matter-of-fact answer, Xiaoxia felt a wave of dizziness.

Aren't you a 'trainer'? When did you become a samurai? Do you have to wait for others to be ready before you can fight?
Why not just rush in and defeat the opponent's Yin-Yang Trainer, and end the battle?
"Then we won't be polite!"

"Let me introduce you to our new rare beast—"

This delay allowed the man and woman opposite to bite their thumbs open and slam them to the ground.
"Summoning Jutsu!" ×2
The next second, two enormous figures appeared in the smoke.

This is?

His gaze sharpened.
Xiaoxia put away her nonchalant expression.

One of them resembled a dragon, with three upward-pointing blue horns on its head and a "宏"-shaped deck on its back. Its wide-open mouth seemed designed to intimidate people.

This is a top-tier creature among wolf-level extraordinary beings: Gyarados!

The other one was a short black python that appeared too fat. It had a golden jaw, golden armor on its head and back, six small golden buttons on its belly, sharp red fangs, and a blade-like tail.

A rice spoon snake!
These two extraordinary creatures are top-tier beings even among wolves.

There's some trouble.
