I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 293 Spell Turret Takizawa Kai... The Mysteries of the Five Elements are all before your eyes! Uesugi Tetsu: I enjoyed the meal, thank you for the treat!
Of course, Takizawa Kai would not choose to admit defeat.

On the contrary, in the two battles just now between Uesugi Tetsuya, Enryu, and Kitamura Yoyu, he had already obtained a lot of first-hand information about this terrifying opponent for free.

With an unequal intelligence advantage at his disposal, Takizawa Kai was quite confident.

—Not only is he outstanding in breathing techniques and swordsmanship, but his lightning magic is also exceptional, far surpassing any of the five elements in his magic.

In addition, not only was Uesugi Tetsu's Qi circulation enhanced by spiritual power, but the opponent also seemed to possess a defensive Yin-Yang technique related to the fire element.

Takizawa Kai couldn't recognize this Yin-Yang technique; it was most likely an ancient technique from hundreds of years ago.

Judging from the two matches just now, the combined effect of this technique and the energy circulation creates a very high level of defense.

At least the first two failed to cause any significant physical damage to Uesugi Tetsuya.

However, his advantage lies in his mastery of the Five Elements techniques, which he can freely combine and use. He has also learned dozens of different types of techniques, both large and small.

Moreover, Takizawa Kai has not made a single move since the seeding rounds began.

Uesugi Tetsu knew nothing about him, but he... had already analyzed the other's fighting style!
This is an overwhelming advantage.

"Choosing to agree to Uesugi Tetsu's request and switch rankings with him was definitely the right choice I ever made."

Otherwise, he wouldn't know how he could defeat a monster on par with Miss Yuan.

Takizawa Kai lowered his head and silently stared at Uesugi Tetsu and Nisha-sama, who were looking at him from below.

Now, the only variable is the shikigami legend of Uesugi Tetsu in the intelligence report—"Eight-foot-tall Man".

If Uesugi Tetsuya is an eight-foot-tall woman, then she is definitely not an ordinary ghost story about an eight-foot-tall woman.

Let's set aside this unexpected factor for now.

Takizawa Kai put aside the unknown variables and continued to feel the gazes cast upon him, keeping a close eye on Uesugi Tetsu, who was still staring at him.

Considering the incredible speed Uesugi Tetsuya can achieve after charging up his power, and the techniques he hasn't yet used...

So, should we try to extend the combat time as much as possible?

Takizawa Kai calmly conducted a brainstorming session.

—Over time, it will not only be enough for him to set up many defensive spells and traps to prevent being killed in one strike, but it will also be able to consume the spiritual power in Uesugi Tetsuya's body to gain an advantage.

After all, he was a Five Elements Spiritual Body. Even though Uesugi Tetsuya had more spiritual energy than him, his recovery speed was definitely slower.

With this in mind, Takizawa Kai, having set his strategic direction, felt a little more confident.

He glanced at Uesugi Tetsu's empty waist, then turned his head and saw Tokugawa Ririko, who was wielding that crimson katana on the field, cutting through everything and already reaching fifteenth place.

—Uesugi Tetsu's sword is still in Tokugawa's hands. Ha, does he look down on me?

There couldn't be anything better.

A calm anger rose in Takizawa Kai's heart.

Since the other party looks down on and belittles me, they must want to end the battle quickly... coupled with their attitude and words just now.

He clenched his fist in his mind.

You can drag Uesugi Tetsuya into your own rhythm!
Both of these points are his guarantees that he can drag Uesugi Tetsuya into a protracted battle!

Unfortunately, due to incomplete information, Takizawa Kai was misled and not only made a mistake, but a very serious one.

If Tsuchimikado Arashi or Kamo Teru were to face Uesugi Tetsuya, they would unleash their full power the moment they entered the arena.

Reveal all your cards and strive to kill Uesugi Tetsuya or be killed by him in a single breath.

Because the two of them had an accurate understanding of the absurd speed at which the Spirit Control Technique could restore spiritual energy—as long as the time was prolonged, they were almost certain to lose.

Not to mention that the moment the battle began was when Uesugi Tetsuya was furthest away from the Onmyoji.

As for not retrieving Kaga Kiyomitsu, that was purely Uesugi Tetsu's own rational judgment—Takizawa Kai was not enough for him to win by retrieving Kaga.

That's it.

Uesugi Tetsu never underestimated his opponents.

"I accept your challenge, Uesugi-kun."

Before uttering those words, Takizawa Kai had already anticipated and prepared the Yin-Yang technique he would unleash upon entering the arena—a clever trick to prevent being instantly killed.

He said, "Come on."

Uesugi Tetsu naturally put down the two-foot-tall man in his arms, patted the white hat on her head, and said, "I challenge, ranked fifth, Takizawa Kai."

The beam of light illuminated, instantly attracting the attention of 80% of the people in the entire venue.

The remaining 20% ​​were either watching Ririko unleash her full power and beautifully beat up her opponents, or watching Aonosuke and Kei Touyama's Super Pokémon battle.

The moment the white light disappeared, countless Five Elements spells unfolded around Takizawa Kai.

A swamp churning with bubbles and flames, ice shards floating in mid-air like knives, and an inconspicuous sapling barely peeking out from the surface of the arena...

As soon as Uesugi Tetsu steps into a radius of fifty meters, he will definitely be held back by these "viscous" spells for at least one or two seconds.

This precious time is his chance to strike back!
To Takizawa Kai's surprise, Uesugi Tetsu didn't attack immediately, and didn't even try.

What does he want to do?
Takizawa Kai squinted, but his hands continued to move.

One by one, the Five Elements defensive spells and traps were laid out within a radius of 100 meters, gradually increasing Takizawa Kai's sense of security.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!

—Uesugi Tetsuya was happy to observe how Takizawa Kai manipulated the five elements' spiritual power to unleash Yin-Yang techniques.

Under the vision of the Eye of Interpretation, a large amount of the five elements' spiritual power was scattered and intertwined in the air, and was quickly transformed into a spell.

Takizawa Kai neither concealed the flow of spiritual energy nor used a particularly rough painting technique.

His thoughts were completely clear to Uesugi Tetsuya.

At the same time, it also made Uesugi Tetsuya vaguely understand the status of the "Five Elements" in relation to "spiritual power".

"But just looking at it isn't enough..."

Uesugi Tetsuya, who felt his comprehension was average and he couldn't grasp anything new, said seriously.
"Takizawa-kun, I'm going to go for it."

Takizawa Kai felt a chill run down his spine, followed by a sense of absurdity.

—Would a normal person warn their opponent before attacking?

As expected, I was still looked down upon.

whispering sound.

Takizawa Kai's sharp eyes reflected Uesugi Tetsuya, who was charging straight at him like a Gundam smashing a toy.

Catch you off guard!
He clenched his fists, and blinding fire elemental energy surged from his palms, instantly transforming into a giant, spinning pillar of fire.

"go with!"

Takizawa Kai shouted loudly, making sure Uesugi Tetsu heard it.

—Faced with a fire-based attack, Uesugi Tetsu will definitely use that fire-based Yin-Yang technique to block it!
Amidst the astonishment of countless onlookers, the massive pillar of fire, resembling a half-hanging eagle, surged toward Uesugi Tetsuya.

—After that, Takizawa Kai's real moves will begin!

Within the pillar of flames that obscured the view and the fire elemental energy, the already compressed gold and blue spiritual energy flowed and converged, flowing into the center of the pillar of flames before it completely disappeared.

Boom!

The raging tide, like a tidal wave, was as if it had encountered an immovable reef, and was thus broken and diverted!

Just as Takizawa Kai had predicted, the black and red flame armor rose up and stood in front of Uesugi Tetsuya, easily blocking all the flame pillars.

In the end, it only dimmed considerably.

But Takizawa Kai has already achieved his goal.

Behind the massive pillar of flame, a deep azure color instantly entered Uesugi Tetsuya's vision!

呲呲呲!
It was only a glance that the Flame Armor was shattered by this amplified and strengthened water-based magic, which was as ethereal as mist yet as solid as a solid, and slammed heavily onto the Qi circulation.

And after the water, there are the metal needles hidden within!
Silently, countless golden needles, finer than a hair, surged forth, barely managing to create a dozen or so tiny, almost invisible openings in the weakest points of the qi circulation. But that was enough.

The subsequent water mist surged into it with the wind, some flowing into Uesugi Tetsuya's body through his facial features, while the rest transformed into different shapes outside his body to attack Uesugi Tetsuya's vital points.

Everything went as perfectly as Takizawa Kai had envisioned.

Therefore, Uesugi Tetsu was punched by the last water fist that appeared and sent flying to the edge of the ring.

Then, for the first time, she bled.

At the edge of the ring, Uesugi Tetsuya, whose face was rapidly losing color, slowly stood up and reached out to wipe away the hot blood flowing from the side of his neck.

But there was no surprise or anger in his eyes...

On the contrary, it was full of surprises!

In fact, Uesugi Tetsuya sensed what was hidden just before the Flame Pillar was broken.

It wasn't that he couldn't stop it, nor that he didn't react in time to repair the circulation of his internal energy.

Instead, Uesugi Tetsu ate the ash from the Soul-Soothing Incense before the battle began.

In that crucial moment, he observed the concept of "metal and water generating each other" in the Five Elements spiritual body at near-zero distance, and a corresponding insight arose in his heart.

As a result, a change occurred in the Qi Sea.

—But ordinary viewers couldn't see that. They were only shocked that Uesugi Tetsu, who had been dominating the game, was knocked away and bled for the first time by another player!
How could an extraordinary strongman, who could move freely even at a speed of ten thousand times slower, fall so easily?
"Could it be that we're seeing things?"

Some audience members murmured.

But the next moment, the director used real-time slow-motion replay to prove that this was true.

Not only the audience, but even the seeded players present were puzzled as to how Uesugi Tetsuya was knocked away in one move.

This was unimaginable for Yanliu and Kitamura Yoyu.

It doesn't make sense.

……

"What's going on, Sister Xinshui? Is this Five Elements Spiritual Body really as powerful as described in the book? Once it reaches its peak, no one can defeat it!"

Kyujou-in Jin also opened her mouth wide, forgetting to eat the piping hot, expensive fried chicken that had been delivered to her home.

Yuan Xinshui wiped the grease from the corner of her lips with the back of her hand, savoring the strange yet somewhat delicious taste of the fried chicken, and stared at the "stunned" Uesugi Tetsuya, saying calmly,

"It's not that the Five Elements Spiritual Body is powerful, it's that this Uesugi Tetsuya is powerful..."

"Uesugi-kun is amazing?" Kyuuketsuin Jin was confused. "How was he amazing in that scene just now?"

Yuan Xinshui asked, "Does he know the Five Elements and Yin-Yang techniques?"

Kujouin Jin looked up and thought for a moment: "It seems like he doesn't, I've never seen him use it... Oh, wait a minute!"

He slapped his thigh hard and said,

"Didn't Uesugi-kun just say before that he's only just begun to learn the Five Elements Yin-Yang Technique?"

Yuan Xinshui asked again, "Then, Uesugi Tetsuya practices a breathing technique related to the Five Elements?"

Kyuuki-in Jin shook his head and replied, "He practices the Corona Breathing Technique."

So, the answer became clear.

Yuan Xinshui confirmed in his heart—

Uesugi Tetsuya's Qi Sea is not an ordinary corona Qi Sea, but a Qi Sea defined by the "Five Elements".

In that brief moment, Uesugi Tetsuya gleaned the mysteries related to metal and water from the Yin-Yang techniques of this Five Elements Spiritual Body.

Yuan Xinshui murmured to himself,
"Uesugi Tetsuya...Uesugi, Xiao Jin, is he a member of the Uesugi family?"

Despite asking this question, even Minamoto no Kokoro himself didn't know which "Uesugi family" was doing well in this day and age.

"No."

After quickly finishing several chicken wings, revealing his potential for a large appetite, Kujouin Jin replied, "Before the wave arrived, he was just an ordinary high school student."

"student?"

Yuan Xinshui paused for a moment.

She looked at the screen again, her face now raised, her eyes filled with joy, as if she had finally found her desired prey, Uesugi Tetsuya.

Such talent... if only I had been born into the Minamoto family...

Pity.

Jiujieyuan Jin looked at Yuan Xinshui, who was sighing inexplicably, with a strange expression. He hesitated for a moment, then glanced at the last spicy chicken wing he had already obtained, before handing it over.
"Sister Xinshui, would you like some?"

……

[Because you closely observed and understood the mysteries of the Five Elements' mutual generation, the "Sea-like Scales of Extraordinary Light" and the "Fragments of the Ten-Fist Sword" within the Void Sea of ​​Qi have further interacted!]

"Thank you, Takizawa-kun."

Uesugi Tetsu's dantian was churning with boundless energy.

The Sea-Shaped Scales and the fragments of the Ten-Fist Sword clung tightly together, causing most of the Qi Sea to transform into flowing golden liquid, greatly improving the quality of the Qi.

Feeling the power continuously surging within him, Uesugi Tetsuya stretched his shoulders comfortably and asked Takizawa Kai in polite language,
"Are there any other tricks up your sleeve?"

But in Takizawa Kai's eyes, Uesugi Tetsuya seemed to be saying, "That's it?" "You're out of ideas? I haven't even warmed up yet."

Takizawa Kai snorted coldly and flipped his palm, having already made up his mind.

—Maintain the original plan for a protracted war and let him try some new tricks he's never seen before!
Therefore, from that moment onward, Takizawa Kai transformed into a terrifying magical artillery turret, relentlessly bombarding Uesugi Tetsuya, who was "forced" to the edge of the arena by a large number of traps.

That's how it is in the eyes of ordinary people.

Only a few sharp-eyed players and viewers could see that Uesugi Tetsu wasn't resisting at all, but was enjoying himself!
From the very beginning, Uesugi Tetsu had no intention of ending the battle quickly!
The dazzling explosions on the arena lasted for a full half hour, enough to drive most beings below the level of gods and demons to despair.

"Huh...huh..."

Takizawa Kai, panting heavily, let his limp arm fall limply after unleashing another of the initial Yin-Yang techniques combining metal and water.

Even though he still had a surplus of spiritual energy in his body, Takizawa Kai's physical body was already on the verge of collapse.

The resonance between the five elements of spiritual energy alone almost shattered him!
During this long period of time, he used up 90% of the Yin-Yang techniques he knew, as well as their variations and combinations, over and over again!

As his gaze swept over the hundreds of defensive spells and traps blocking his way, Takizawa Kai managed a forced smile.

He stared at the figure that seemed to be slumped in the dust and smoke, and forced himself to take a breath.

Are we about to win?

"Are you out of ideas?"

Uesugi Tetsu coughed up a mouthful of blood, enduring the excruciating physical pain to savor the last bit of the Five Elements' mysteries, and then stood up unsteadily.

If it weren't for the powerful "Pale Frenzy" buff, even after being used as a target for so long, he would have been reduced to a bloody mess long ago.

—【Pale Frenzy: The more severe your injuries, the more fear you experience, the greater your physical strength and willpower will grow, and the faster your injuries and inner energy will recover.】

The extent of the injury is another matter...

But how many viewers are actually watching the seeding battle and focusing their attention on him?
Hundreds of thousands? Or millions?
Uesugi Tetsu didn't know.

He only knew that even if only a small portion of them felt "fear" of him, his physical and mental attributes were increasing wildly, and his recovery ability also increased several times over.

It was precisely because of this that Uesugi Tetsu was able to calm down and comprehend the operating rules of the "qi" of the five elements for a full half hour!
As the smoke cleared, the charred flesh and blood regenerated at an incredible speed.

The rising qi swept away the dust and grime from the red monstrous face, then he grinned.

"Thank you for the hospitality, Takizawa-kun."

Uesugi Tetsu opened his arms, and two lifelike purplish-black lightning dragons rose and swam up from behind him, reflecting Takizawa Kai's puzzled expression in his pupils.
"As a return gift, let me show you my Yin-Yang techniques!"
