I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 284 White Prajna - Three Stars? Meat Refining Completed, the Final Step to the Palace of Flesh! Respect for the Strong!

In an instant, the two-foot-tall man's entire body emitted a dazzling golden light!

The light was so bright that Uesugi Tetsuya and Ririko, who were staring at her from not far away, had to squint.

Uesugi Tetsuya's heart skipped a beat, because he could feel that the original aura of the two-foot-tall man had vanished in an instant, leaving not even a trace.

But before he could think any further, the life force unique to the two-foot-tall man reappeared in an instant.

Moreover, it will be stronger and more robust than before!

The moment it appeared, it was elevated to its peak!

The golden light vanished suddenly, as if deliberately concealed, revealing a two-foot-tall figure within... perhaps now it should be called the "Eight-Foot Benevolent King".

The original white dress and white hat were gone, and her dark, deep hair was casually draped down, falling on her full and strong shoulders, with only the ends simply tied up with a ribbon.

The muscles, gleaming with a faint golden light, were connected, exceptionally full, yet the body, with its perfectly contoured features, was exposed to the sunlight, flowing with a color as indestructible as a diamond.

If the previous "eight-foot form" only gave people the feeling of being tall.

Tall and large.

The current "Eight-Foot King of Benevolence" subconsciously evokes a similar but entirely different phrase in people's minds.

--Gundam.

The two-foot-tall woman was only covered by a few pieces of cloth and a wide skirt, yet she could not evoke any sense of allure or seduction.

Instead, there was only authority.

Subordinate to the majesty of "King Benevolent".

"It was supposed to be an urban legend, but now its blood energy is more than ten times mine..."

Ririko gave the two-foot-tall man a cursory look and couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.

Uesugi Tetsu walked around the still-closed-eyes adult, pondering the situation in his mind.

"If this amount of Qi and Blood were converted into attributes, it would probably have already exceeded 100, roughly the same as when I transformed into White Prajna?"

It might even be a step above.

These are truly alarming numbers.

As expected of a technique that can only be used within the effective time of the "Diamond Body," this move would be a complete dimensional reduction attack if used against other three-and-a-half-star demons and monsters.

—This refers to a two-foot-tall adult punching a demon into a pulp or paper-thin piece.

Amidst the rushing sound of blood like a mighty river and the deep rumble of his heart, the two-foot-tall man slowly opened his eyes.

Niou saw this world anew.

The "life-protecting halo" that already enveloped the entire courtyard intensified exponentially in that instant, causing Ririko to rub her fingers together and smile.

"If it were the old Erchi, whose fists were weak, he would probably have been pressed to the ground and unable to move by this aura."

"Erchi, how are you feeling now?"

After the two-foot-tall man surveyed the surroundings with his imposing, prison-like gaze, and took a deep breath, Uesugi Tetsuya tentatively asked.

—Won't this Niou state distort the personality of his master?
But the next moment, Uesugi Tetsuya completely forgot about such thoughts.

"Lord Che, I'm fine."

Upon hearing his words, the seriousness on Niou's face melted away like ice and snow, revealing a joyful expression like that of a little girl.

She clenched her large, powerful fist and exclaimed, "Better than ever before!"

"—With abundant Qi and blood, and a clear mind. Lord Che, I think I've only just begun to understand what the world you see every day is like."

Uesugi Tetsuya was translating in his mind:

His physical and willpower attributes both doubled, or even more... In his opinion, his charm attribute probably also soared by dozens of points.

Nisho in Nioh form, his aura speaks for itself; anyone who sees him would think he is the reincarnation of the legendary "Fudo Myoo".

The beauty of her body could even subtly draw Uesugi Tetsu's gaze, holding it firmly like a magnet.

In the past, a two-foot-tall man simply couldn't do this.

Erchi reached out and pulled out the semi-transparent spear stuck beside him, swinging it around with ease, which made Uesugi Tetsu's eyes light up again.

Because he also possesses a high level of proficiency in the basic spear technique, he can immediately tell that the two-foot-tall man in the Niou state has also improved significantly in terms of skill.

In layman's terms, it means going from "mastering the basics" to "mastering the pinnacle".

Just one step away from reaching the expert level.

There's also a protective aura.

Under this halo, even a lowly one-star nobody would likely be instantly obliterated upon entering, turning into his soul ashes.

Even demons with ordinary three-star strength will have their power significantly weakened upon entering.

Attributes, skills, auras... and many more things he hadn't discovered yet.

The Nioh form, with its two-foot strength, represents a significant leap forward in melee combat.

Judging from Suguru's insight and knowledge, if Lord Erchi can maintain his current state, defeating the Great Master Tai in a one-on-one fight shouldn't be a big problem.

So he asked the most important question.
"And what about the duration?"

After a moment's thought, the two-foot-tall man quickly gave his answer: "About fifteen minutes... There are fourteen minutes left."

fifteen minutes.

Uesugi Tetsu hummed in agreement.

Although it is somewhat less than his "rage", Er Chi has no side effects after the end of the Renwang state. At most, it consumes the life-saving effect of the Vajra Body once.

This duration is more than enough to complete a battle.

As for more details, even the Second Master himself couldn't say much more.

"Then let's get started."

Ririko calmly said, "Find and discover more talents in battle."

She asked, "Are you ready, two feet?"

The two-foot-tall man carried the nearly two-zhang-long spear on his shoulder and smiled easily.

—Because Ririko no longer hid her stats and instead revealed them all, Erchi-sama believed that she had completely crushed Ririko's stats and was certain of victory.

Therefore, she waved her hand and said magnanimously,

"You should be the one who's prepared, Ririko-chan..."

Ririko calmly lowered her eyes and flicked her fingertips.

A distinct fine line appeared on the two-foot-tall man's face, which shone with a faint golden light, and a streak of dazzling crimson slowly flowed out.

The slight pain interrupted the man's words.

In the silence, she raised her hand to touch her cheek and realized that she had been slashed.

Niou's pupils contracted slightly, and he subconsciously tightened his grip on the large spear in his hand.

"Why do you become careless just because I simply don't hide myself... If you were fully focused, you could have detected and dodged this sword strike."

Ririko scolded him as if he were teaching an unruly disciple, "Too immature, Erchi."

"By now, you may have encountered many opponents and fought many battles, gaining a lot of experience..."

After a brief pause, Ririko countered, "But have you ever fought even once against someone who can truly be called a strong person?"

The two-foot-tall man stood there, stunned.

Because it seems she has never truly faced a so-called powerful being face-to-face... The most thrilling experience she had was merely mustering the courage to confront the unknowing and mindless torrent of willpower.

Although she had fought countless battles in the dreamscape of the Jizo statue, they were all ordinary ronin and demons, none of whom she could remember by name. All the strong individuals and powerful demons were dealt with by Uesugi Tetsuya.

She was just a supporter and cheerleader on the sidelines.

Erchi's silence made Lili understand.

Then she finally smiled: "Well then, I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of Uesugi-kun."

Ririko framed Niou in her eyes; Kenshin rose like the sun in the sky, and voices flowed into her ears from all directions.

"—What does it mean to respect the strong!"

At this moment, Erchida realized that the aura she thought could slow down and intimidate anyone's actions had no effect whatsoever on either Cheda or Ririko.

The two-foot-tall man gripped the gun barrel tightly in his hand.

At this moment, although she didn't want to admit it, she still put herself in the position of the challenger.

She's still far from it.

The two-foot-tall man took a deep breath and roared.
"Miss Ririko, I'm going to go!"

Before that sound was a massive spear that had already emerged like a dragon.

"good."

Without seeing any movement from Ririko, the two-foot-tall man felt as if an invisible weapon had deflected the position of his spearhead, causing the point of impact to be deflected to the side.

Ririko clapped her hands again, and the two-foot-tall man seemed to sense a terrifying killing intent, his hair and beard standing on end. He immediately followed his intuition and used his gun blade to shatter the two invisible blades.

"Why don't you touch your neck again?"

When Erchi touched it, he found that there was indeed a trace of blood flowing from his neck as well—if Lilizi hadn't held back, there would probably have been another bloody, torn wound here.

As a result, a trace of blood appeared on both the inside and outside of the two-foot-tall man's wrist.

Ririko's mocking voice came: "You just touch whatever the enemy tells you to? Who do you think you are, Little X, some kind of smart home device?"

I just boasted to Lord Che, and now I'm being played like this...

The two-foot-tall man was furious, his face turning red, but he remembered his defeat and became even calmer.

She swept her hand across the shaft of the large spear, transforming it into a more versatile cross-shaped spear, then raised her eyebrows and declared loudly,
"Come again!"

"bring it on."

Ririko raised her index and middle fingers together, forming a sword-like finger, and beckoned to her.

Next, a high-intensity battle of strength and skill unfolded before Uesugi Tetsuya's eyes.

However, this high intensity is one-sided.

For Ririko, even though the two-foot-tall man's body was several times stronger than hers, and his skills were not bad, he was still not much of a threat.

Because two feet is too tender.

Finally, with a roar that made the two-foot-long spear glow red, the cross spear, which was now almost indistinguishable from a real spear, shattered the barrier of the sword domain and aimed its tip at Ririko's neck.

The latter raised his hand in a chop, ready to unleash the ultimate technique, the Three-Stage Thrust of Mystery, which even Uesugi Tetsu had not mastered.

In that critical moment, Uesugi Tetsuya activated Yaegaki, gripping the cross-shaped spear with his right hand and Ririko's hand with his left.

"stop!"

he shouted.

Uesugi Tetsu took a breath and said, "Let's call this a draw."

The two-foot-tall man was jolted, suddenly snapping out of his flow state of being fully immersed in receiving the attack.

Ririko glanced at the gun blade that was now almost within reach, and nodded calmly as before.

"Alright, then let's call it a draw."

This sparring match, testing the condition of the two-foot-tall King of Benevolence, ended in a draw.

However, he remained empty-handed from beginning to end, without even touching the hem of her clothes, appearing completely at ease.

The other was sweating profusely, and his vital areas were covered with fine, hair-like blood vessels that had now mostly healed.

He looked utterly disheveled.

Even if the two-foot-tall adult is not seriously injured and killed by being hit in a vital spot, the "life points" deducted will still be more.

After the Niou form ended, the two-foot-tall man, now back in his two-foot form, bit his lip, clenched his fists, and said with a hint of resentment,

“Miss Ririko… I will beat you next time.”

Ririko blinked and smiled at her: "Okay, I'll wait."

……

The next day, before sunrise.

With his mind and time almost squeezed to the limit, Uesugi Tetsuya suddenly opened his eyes and opened his arms toward the sun that had just risen above the horizon.

[Because you have opened the Yin Chakra, the progress of your body's spiritual potential has accelerated!]

[Current progress: 28/108]

[You have completed the Flesh Palace Training -罡肉!]

[You have completed the Flesh Palace Training - Flesh Refining Stage!]

Your muscle strength has increased dramatically!

[Your physique +4! ]

[Because you have completed the "Flesh Refining Stage," your efficiency in utilizing Qi has increased moderately!]

—He finally completed the opening of the twenty-eight acupoints and the body tempering stage before the elimination rounds!

Uesugi Tetsu opened his personal panel and glanced at his physique attribute.

[Physique: 76→80]

In just a few days, his already extremely high physical attributes increased even more!
I taught the first two chapters of the Myoga Breathing Technique to Ririko before, and only started practicing acupoints after discussing acupoints with her. It was definitely the right decision!
Compared to before I obtained the Meikawa Breathing Technique, the efficiency has improved by a tremendous amount.

Originally, completing the entire meat-refining stage would have taken at least half a month, but now the time has been reduced by more than half.

Not to mention that so many acupoints have been opened at the same time, and nearly a quarter of the human body's spiritual treasures have been completed.

Next, should one continue to strengthen the muscles and complete the second stage of the breathing technique, the Palace of Flesh, or stop training and instead choose one of the three ultimate forms that can be trained?

After a few thoughts, Uesugi Tetsuya made a decision.

—Continue casting reinforcement.

Just like the hallmark and core ability "Qi Circulation" of completing the first stage, the Sea of ​​Qi, there will definitely be some gains after completing the forging of the Palace of Flesh.

As for the four ultimate forms, we can master them one by one in the future; there's no rush.

Anyway, since I don't have the third stage of the Life River Breathing Technique, Spirit Condensation, I can just lay a solid foundation first and take it slowly.

After all, Uesugi Tetsuya is different from most martial artists; he doesn't only have breathing techniques as his path.

"The time is almost up."

Uesugi Tetsu gazed at the rising sun on the other side and, after a month, opened the panel of his first avatar, White Prajna.

[“White Prajna (Complete Form)” is upgrading: 99%...100%!]

[Your demonic incarnation, White Prajna (Complete Form), has been upgraded!]

【You got...】

【Demon Incarnation - Crimson Prajna!!!】
