I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 251 An Astounding Reward, the Inheritance of the Desolate God! The Spider Cutter is Real! Sprinting towards the core of the factory in Arakawa Village.

When Uesugi Tetsu opened it, he found that the reward section seemed to have too many words, so he specially used another picture to display it.

The rewards are as follows:

[All participants who defeat the puppet and advance through the preliminary rounds will receive 100 Special Affairs Points! These can be exchanged for any item of equal value at the Special Affairs Office, Onmyoji Clan, or Dojo!]

Defeating a 2.5-star peak puppet will directly grant you a contribution reward equivalent to one month's salary for Tamamo.

Uesugi Tetsu browsed the shop in the Special Affairs Bureau APP and found that the purchasing power of contribution points was weaker than that of Soul Ash.

It's roughly 150 contribution points = 100 soul ash.

But there are far too many people who can defeat this puppet.

The Special Affairs Department is really willing to spend money.

Uesugi Tetsuya muttered to himself and continued looking down.

Soon, he witnessed what a truly grand undertaking was.

[Seats 128-65: Reward 2000 Special Affairs Office Contribution Points, which can be exchanged for any item of equal value at the Special Affairs Office, Onmyoji Families, or Dojos! Additionally, you can randomly obtain a "Beneath the Demon Gods" inheritance from the Special Affairs Office's Archives Room!]

[Seats 64-33: Reward 2000 Special Affairs Office Contribution Points, which can be exchanged for any item of equal value at the Special Affairs Office, Onmyoji Families, or Dojos! Additionally, you can randomly obtain two copies of the "Beneath the Demon God" inheritance from the Special Affairs Office's file room!]

Even without counting the hundreds of ghost and god artifacts sent out, which should only be around three-star level inheritances, the Special Affairs Department has essentially sent out over 100,000 soul ash in one go.

Adding to the previous preliminary rounds, that's hundreds of thousands of Soul Ashes scattered out.

Tsk tsk, if all these contribution points were converted into Soul Ash for him, wouldn't he be able to pull out Hundred-Eyed Demon tomorrow and drain the Demon King's pool dry?

If I draw an acceleration card again, I can advance to Demon Avatar overnight, and then keep spending money to max out the next banner...

Wouldn't that mean I'll be able to punch Nanjo-nee and kick demons in a couple of days?

After a brief moment of contemplation, Uesugi Tetsuya looked at the Special Affairs Department's definition of "inheritance."

The so-called "inheritance below the level of ghosts and gods" includes all Yin-Yang techniques, breathing techniques, footwork, swordsmanship, etc., with an upper limit below the level of ghosts and gods.

At the same time, it could also be a fragment of some powerful Yin-Yang technique or breathing method.

For example, the Corona Breathing Technique up to the end of the "Palace of Flesh" arc is an incomplete version—which is also the version that Uesugi Tetsu and Ririko initially obtained.

The "randomness" aspect is what really gets to your mind.

Uesugi Tetsu estimated that after the knockout stage, he would see a group of players exchanging the legacy cards they had drawn on the spot.

But further back, it's no longer random.

[Seats 32-11: Reward 3000 Special Affairs Office Contribution Points, which can be exchanged for any item of equal value at the Special Affairs Office, Onmyoji Families, or Dojos! Additionally, you can choose any two copies of the "Below the Demon God" inheritance from the Special Affairs Office's file room!]

Optional means to strengthen.

Being able to sift through the vast archives of the Special Affairs Department, rather than a single branch, to select from a collection of records accumulated over millennia, is a truly dazzling experience.

Uesugi Tetsuya's fingers paused.

Because the image has scrolled to the bottom again.

"So, the rewards for the top ten are so many that a new map has been created?" Uesugi Tetsu raised an eyebrow, his anticipation growing stronger.

"I like."

[TOP10: Reward 5000 Special Affairs Office Contribution Points, which can be exchanged for any item of equal value at the Special Affairs Office, Onmyoji Families, or Dojos! Additionally, you can choose any Demon-level Inheritance from the Special Affairs Office's Archives!]

God-level!
Even at the tenth position, one has already entered the "realm of ghosts and gods".

Although most of the geniuses who can make it into the top ten of the Eastern Conference seeding battles don't have to worry about "how to cross the threshold of the gods and demons".

However, being able to directly gain an additional god-like technique that suits oneself is still a very gratifying reward.

[TOP9: Reward 8000 Special Affairs Office Contribution Points, which can be exchanged for any item of equal value at the Special Affairs Office, Onmyoji Clans, or Dojo! Additionally, you can choose any Demon-level Inheritance from the Special Affairs Office File Room, the Onmyoji Clans Open Area, or the Dojo Open Area!]

"Oh?"

Upon seeing the two clickable blue text items next to "Document Room," Uesugi Tetsuya paused slightly, then clicked on them to see the annotations.

[Onmyoji Families: Tsuchimikado Family, Minamoto Family, Kamo Family, Saito Family...]

[Dojos: Katori Shinto-ryu Tokyo Headquarters, Yagyu Shinkage-ryu Tokyo Branch, Hokushin Itto-ryu Tokyo Headquarters...]

Among the annotations, one after another, the names of renowned families and dojos appeared before Uesugi Tetsuya's eyes.

Even if the words "open area" mean that the displayed heritage has been screened and is unlikely to have the core parts, this is still the first time in hundreds of years!
For the first time, Onmyoji families that value bloodlines and ancient dojos that value inheritance have opened up a portion of their heritage to outsiders!
Just from those few words, Uesugi Tetsu could imagine how much pressure the Special Affairs Department had put on these old guys.

but……

Uesugi Tetsu looked up again.

The goalkeepers who finished tenth are truly blessed.

[TOP8: You can choose any Demon-level inheritance from the Special Affairs Office File Room, the Onmyoji Clan Open Area, or the Dojo Open Area! You will also receive a weapon or armor custom-made by a top-tier craftsman!]

Upon reaching eighth place, it becomes apparent that the reward for Special Affairs Department contribution points has been removed.

Instead, it was a custom forging by a top-tier artisan certified by the Special Affairs Department.

—Previously, Aoyama Yoshi was only a "senior craftsman" who wasn't particularly skilled, according to the Special Affairs Department's certification standards.

—And within the entire Special Affairs Bureau, there are only a few dozen top-notch craftsmen, most of whom are on secret missions or have disappeared without a trace.

Therefore, the number of top craftsmen that can be contacted on a daily basis is no more than five.

In other words, the reward is a tailor-made weapon or armor piece with a minimum quality of [Epic+].

Although Uesugi Tetsuya was drooling over it, he figured that such a low-ranking reward was out of his reach.

"pity……"

He shook his head.

[TOP7: You can choose any Demon-level inheritance from the Special Affairs Office File Room, the Onmyoji Clan Open Area, or the Dojo Open Area! You will also receive one opportunity to complete an inheritance of Demon-level or lower!]

[TOP6: You can choose any Demon-level inheritance from the Special Affairs Office File Room, the Onmyoji Clan Open Area, or the Dojo Open Area! You will also receive two opportunities to complete Demon-level or lower inheritances!]

"Complete the legacy?"

Uesugi Tetsu immediately thought of the Corona Breathing Technique, which was currently missing in the Sea of ​​Qi arc.

Furthermore, since the Sea of ​​Qi and the Palace of Flesh arcs already have significant gaps, the gaps in the future will likely only become larger.

This reward is quite interesting.

[TOP5: You can choose any Demon-level inheritance from the Special Affairs Office File Room, the Onmyoji Family Open Area, or the Dojo Open Area! At the same time, you will receive two opportunities to complete Demon-level or lower inheritances!]
Additionally, you will receive a "Forced Contract Scroll" personally crafted by an astronomy PhD!

The words on the scroll turned a different shade of red than before.

Uesugi Tetsu clicked on it and discovered that this was a keyword that only verified contestants like himself could see.

In the eyes of other operators, it would be "■■■■■■".

[Forced Contract Scroll: Instantly contracts with demons or supernatural beings below the level of ghosts or gods, requiring no external object and taking effect immediately. Irresistible, regardless of will, and without cost.]

"what?"

Grab it in one go, and refine it in an instant?

To be honest, Uesugi Tetsuya is really smitten this time.

According to the description in this scroll, in the future, whenever he sees a monster or ghost story he likes, he can just take out the scroll.

Whether it's the snow woman who runs a mountain inn, the gigantic Kisaragi Station, or even the Great Master of the Warring States period...

There are so many ways to play with this scroll.

Uesugi Tetsu began to daydream.

If we had used this thing to form a contract with the Grand Master back then, would the Demon Guide Association have become ours after five hundred years?
Moreover, this happens to be the ranking reward for the top 5.

If there are no more exciting rewards in the future, then Uesugi Tetsuya has decided to hold onto his TOP5 position.

—The empty titles of TOP123 are insignificant; the real reward is the one you actually get!
[TOP4: You can choose any Demon-level inheritance from the Special Affairs Office File Room, the Onmyoji Family Open Area, or the Dojo Open Area! At the same time, you will receive two opportunities to complete Demon-level or lower inheritances!]
Additionally, you'll receive the "Flesh and Blood Furnace" crafted by Dr. Li Dao!

[Flesh and Blood Furnace: Place demon corpses into it, and after refining, you can obtain "Demon Essence" to enhance your physical body.]

Items that increase physical attributes.

It might be good for others, but it didn't appeal to Uesugi Tetsuya.

[TOP3: You can choose any Aragami-level inheritance from the Special Affairs Office File Room, the Onmyoji Family Open Area, or the Dojo Open Area! At the same time, you will receive two opportunities to complete the Oni-level or lower inheritance!]
Additionally, you'll receive a "Secretly Recipe Substitute Doll" personally enhanced by the Yin-Yang Master!

【Secretly crafted substitute doll: Place it in a secret location, and it will revive you if you die.】

—I think it will definitely work as long as it doesn't offend beings with names and surnames in mythology.

Judging from the description, this doll should be much better than the one I have.

In terms of quality... ultra-epic?

At least. This life-saving item is pretty good, but Uesugi Tetsuya doesn't think he'll ever need it.

In the near future, and even in the next few years, it is estimated that there will be very few beings above the level of ghosts and gods in the present world, so this doll is completely a tool for fighting five or even ten years from now.

This is too long; Uesugi Tetsuya can't wait.

Just when he thought the TOP3 was nothing special and wanted to continue watching, Uesugi Tetsu suddenly noticed a change in one word.

That's right, just one word.

It changed from a "god-level inheritance" to a "wild god-level inheritance".

Five-Star Legacy!

Above the Great Onmyoji, above the "Five Viscera Immortals" of Breathing Techniques!
Just one word difference shattered Uesugi Tetsu's previous idea of ​​sticking to the TOP5.

It's simply because the words "God-level" are too tempting...

[TOP2: You can choose any Aragami-level inheritance from the Special Affairs Office File Room, the Onmyoji Clan Open Area, or the Dojo Open Area! You will also receive two opportunities to complete your inheritance! (One opportunity is for completing an Aragami-level inheritance)]

Additionally, you'll obtain the antique "All Things Folding Fan"!

[The Wanxiang Folding Fan: Forged by the Tenkō (master craftsmen) of the Kamakura period and passed down to this day, it is etched with 481 different Yin-Yang techniques that have not been lost and can be used to condense the process of casting spells.]

This folding fan is just the right replacement for the blessing folding fan that has reached its limit.

Uesugi Tetsu glanced at the supplement above again, his heart burning even more intensely.

That's the reward for TOP2, so what about the "champion"?

[TOP1: You can choose any Aragami-level inheritance from the Special Affairs Office File Room, the Onmyoji Family Open Area, or the Dojo Open Area! At the same time, you will receive two opportunities to complete the Aragami-level or lower inheritance!]
In addition, he acquired the famous sword "Kogami-giri" wielded by Minamoto no Yorimitsu during the Heian period!
Finally, you will have the opportunity to have a private audience with the Sword Saint!

Uesugi Tetsu's eyes were immediately drawn to the second line.

Spider cut!
That Yin-Yang Power Assistance team is really willing to spend a fortune!
Uesugi Tetsuya, who originally wanted the Wanxiang Folding Fan, is now conflicted again... It's probably hard for everyone to choose between the fan and the knife.

Firstly, it can immediately enrich Uesugi Tetsu's Yin-Yang techniques—with this fan, he even knows more Yin-Yang techniques than many great Yin-Yang masters.

But a katana like the Spider Cutter, with its mythical aura and worldwide fame, must surely possess supernatural powers that he could not have imagined.

As for the subsequent audience with the Sword Saint, Uesugi Tetsu felt it was just an extra bonus.

He was indeed very interested in the sword saint who could single-handedly subdue the three major families and those ancient Onmyoji clans, making everyone sit down and negotiate obediently.

I want to see for myself what kind of person he is.

But that only extends to the level of mere interest.

The Sword Saint was too tall, and he himself was too short; the enormous gap made Uesugi Tetsuya feel the reality of the situation.

Rather, the current Sword Saint is more of a "symbol" for Uesugi Tetsuya.

"The champion, or the runner-up."

The rewards for first and second place are both exceptionally generous, making it difficult for Uesugi Tetsuya to choose.

So no matter what, we must get into the top two.

This is the bottom line.

Defeating Minamoto Shizumizu is indeed very difficult, but so far Uesugi Tetsu has not seen a second character who can compare to him.

Thus, a simple goal was set.

"If only Ririko were in the competition too," Uesugi Tetsu sighed softly. "Wouldn't it be wonderful if my brother and I took first and second place?"

The official seeding and knockout stage will not begin until the end of June at the earliest, but the exact date has not yet been determined.

It depends on when the preliminary rounds and the Swiss rounds end; there's still about half a month left, which can be considered as warm-up time for the knockout stage.

Tokyo is about to truly start to "live up".

Uesugi Tetsu spent a few minutes reading through all the rewards, then opened the comments section and found a series of shocking comments.

Many people are also asking what the terms "Demon God Level" and "Wild God Level" mean in the rewards, what kind of powerful individuals they are, and how they compare to Uesugi Tetsuya and Minamoto Shizumi.
Soon, a kind-hearted veteran officer stepped forward to answer.

[It's 3:30, time for tea: These seeded geniuses are indeed formidable, capable of easily defeating a hundred of us with one hand... but to compare them to these real talents is a far cry.]

[At 3:30, let's have tea first: Ghosts and gods possess the power to reverse yin and yang, and to move mountains and fill seas. As for the powerful beings at the level of the Desolate God... I've lived for decades and have never seen one in person, nor can I even imagine it.]

To be conservative, I could easily defeat ten demons with one hand.

The comment immediately went viral, with new agents from the Special Affairs Department and some outsiders posting wildly.

[Be conservative! Aragami can beat ten Oni-gami, Oni-gami can beat ten Uesugi Tetsu, and Uesugi Tetsu can easily beat a hundred of me—doesn't that mean Aragami can easily beat ten thousand of me!]
Good heavens, I just recently went through so much trouble to finally get a two-star shikigami!

[The person upstairs is dreaming. Ten thousand of you? Even a hundred thousand of you probably wouldn't be taken seriously by such a big shot!]

Wow, our Special Affairs Division is this awesome!

Afterwards, the comments section was filled with either marveling at the power of the demons and gods, or expressing envy for the rewards of the elimination rounds...

Uesugi Tetsuya was somewhat surprised to see that the comment section had surpassed tens of thousands of comments in less than ten minutes.

This blew all the guys who usually stay underwater out of the water.

If you didn't know better, you'd think the rewards in the picture above were for a giveaway by sharing in the comments section.

Uesugi Tetsuya took the original piece of iron out of his pocket and found that it had changed from an ordinary black iron material into a crystal clear crystal.

The texture is much more premium.

His name is still on the back, while a large "5" is engraved on the front.

In summary, this is 【TOP 5·Uesugi Tetsu】.

Uesugi Tetsuya tested the crystal's strength again with Thunder and found that it was surprisingly high after the change.

Even though he used 30% of his power to unleash the Five Thunder Technique, the crystal crystal remained completely unharmed.

Even if you exert all your strength, the result probably won't change.

With that thought in mind, Uesugi Tetsu placed the crystal chip in the lining of his clothes near his chest.

In this way, it's like getting a breast protector for free!
After returning home in disguise, Uesugi Tetsu returned to his original form and greeted Ririko.

He asked, "Ririko, are you interested in the ranking rewards for seed battles?"

"tell me the story."

The girl, who looked no different from any other high school girl, opened her eyes and rested her chin on her hand.

Uesugi Tetsu didn't say anything more.

—If she were interested, she would have already gone to find out for herself, just like how she is eager to advance on the path of cultivation day and night, as long as she opens her eyes.

So he shook his head: "Forget it, there's not much of a reward... it'll just be so-so. I might as well practice my swordsmanship for a couple more days."

"Alright then." Ririko sighed and looked at the clear sky outside, asking, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

"We'll have to wait until I wake up."

Uesugi Tetsu yawned: "I went to get struck by lightning at noon to break through, and I'm so sleepy."

Upon hearing this, Ririko gave him a slight smile.
"Waiting for you."

"Alright, I'll finish the task as soon as possible!"

"There's no such thing as a quick sleep..."

"No, you absolutely have to eat dinner!"

After a brief exchange, Uesugi Tetsu went upstairs and lay down on the bed.

He certainly wasn't going to sleep.

Instead, based on the timing of the seeding battle and recent arrangements, Uesugi Tetsu felt that he could finally do something.

—【Unknown Core Factory Map】.

Activating this epic-level map, which is guaranteed to contain an unknown "super epic" quality equipment or item, requires a "factory core".

In Arakawa Village, there happens to be a factory built by factory owner Z.

The aftershocks of the wave have slowly receded, and factory owner Z probably can't stay in this desolate wilderness for long.

So, there's nothing more to say.

Sprint towards the heart of the factory in Arakawa Village!

　5k!

　　Please vote for me at the end of the month!
