I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 294 The Might of Spirit Control, Victory! Tokugawa Haruhiko: Fifth Sister, there's no need to humiliate me in public.

The viscous spiritual energy flowed out without any obstruction, following Uesugi Tetsuya's thoughts.

They were constructed from nothing by using only the five dazzling thunder pearls to create two thunder dragons.

If the ordinary thunder dragon is merely a form of Yin-Yang magic, then Uesugi Tetsu's "thunder dragon" is more than that.

Driven by master-level spirit control techniques and expert-level Five Thunder Techniques, the spiritual power could even etch a trace of the power of the mythical image of "dragon" in Uesugi Tetsu's mind.

So when the two thunder dragons rose up and stared at Takizawa Kai, the latter felt his blood freeze for a moment.

Takizawa Kai's hair stood on end, and he felt an uncontrollable tingling sensation all over his body...

No, that's not the point!

Takizawa Kai clenched his fist, removing some minor abnormalities from his body, and then thought—

Why, why is Uesugi Tetsuya acting like nothing happened after being bombarded with his Five Elements Yin-Yang Technique for so long?
It's already impressive that he survived after enduring so much.

How could Uesugi Tetsuya still manage to squeeze out so much spiritual energy to unleash lightning magic?

Takizawa Kai took a quick look inside his body and found that he had less than 40% of his spiritual power left.

In the previous battle, he was in a dominant position, while Uesugi Tetsu could only defend passively, so he should have had the advantage in terms of remaining spiritual energy.

—Does Uesugi Tetsu have more spiritual power than him?
Common sense dictates that this is highly unlikely.

Takizawa Kai's thoughts shifted instantly, like a flash of lightning.

His eyes brightened slightly.

So, is this powerful lightning technique Uesugi Tetsuya's desperate gamble?

Probably.

More likely, Uesugi Tetsu wanted to use these two thunder dragons to break through the traps along the way, and then use them to get close and defeat him, who was an Onmyoji!

I've seen through it!
Takizawa Kai felt a sense of exhilaration and immediately met the gazes of the two crystal-clear thunder dragons without showing any weakness.

Since that's the case, then I have no choice but to do my best!

The young Onmyoji gritted his teeth, and a dazzling five-colored spiritual light rose from his hand, spinning in unison.

This was originally intended as a trump card to deal with Miss Yuan... but there's no other way!
The five-colored spiritual light spun continuously in Takizawa Kai's palm, spinning from head to tail, at an astonishing speed.

The five elements generate each other, and their cycle never ends!
The faint light expanded and then turned into a pale, colorless white when Takizawa Kai clasped his hands together.

I just used a basic attack and you immediately used your ultimate?

According to the precise perception of the Spirit Control Technique, if this attack were to actually hit him, he probably wouldn't even have time to utter his last words...

Is this the legendary Five Elements Cannon?

Uesugi Tetsu's eyelids twitched slightly as he glanced at the two relatively "petite and cute" thunder dragons beside him.

It seems this quantity is still somewhat insufficient.

Whatever.

Now that things have come to this, there's no point in hiding anything anymore.

pat.

In that instant, Uesugi Tetsuya finally broke the range restriction on the absorption of spiritual energy by the Spirit Control Technique.

Under the increasingly bright white light, Uesugi Tetsuya took a deep breath.

A gust of wind suddenly rose in the venue, which should have been closed long ago.

Before anyone could even notice the phenomenon or speak up, the spiritual energy flow, which was originally just a gentle breeze, suddenly emitted a whooshing sound as it cut through the air!

At this moment, the highly concentrated spiritual energy throughout the entire vast Sky City venue surged towards the same direction!

It was as if all the spiritual energy in the entire arena had been controlled by that slender figure standing at the edge of the ring, taking a deep breath!
The hurricane has appeared!
The sound of the spiritual energy hurricane that formed in an instant whistled past the ears of each Onmyoji, causing them to exchange surprised glances.

High above, Tsuchimikado Arashi painstakingly extracted a wisp of spiritual energy from the hurricane, muttering with a grim expression,

"This is the Spirit Control Technique..."

"This doesn't make sense. Generally speaking, can spirit control techniques achieve this level of skill?"

He Maohui immediately recalled the large-scale spiritual energy fluctuations in the Arakawa district before the start of the competition.

But that was the commotion caused by Nanjo Aimi, a powerful demon who was practicing.

As He Maohui watched the purple light in his field of vision grow larger and larger, an idea popped into his mind.

Could it be that Uesugi Tetsu's mastery of spirit control techniques is already comparable to that of Nanjo Manami?

Not only were the two ancient Onmyoji from the same family who recognized the Spirit Control Technique shocked, but even the demons and gods on the towering stands looked at Uesugi Tetsuya on the main stage with slight surprise.

It could be scrutiny, appreciation, or approval...

Various opinions were drawn.

"I never expected that you, Uesugi, could achieve such a level. I am ashamed of my own inferiority."

With his eyes closed, Huijue sensed the flow of every wisp of spiritual energy throughout the venue and exclaimed in admiration.

"Basic stuff, basic stuff, everyone just sit back and watch." Nanjo Manami said calmly. "Master, don't flatter yourself. This kind of thing shouldn't be difficult for you either."

"So what happened? Why are you all looking at that Uesugi kid?"

Kujo Oborozuki pointed to the dozen or so thunder dragons standing imposingly behind Uesugi Tetsuya, raising an eyebrow in confusion: "Are those dragons really that good-looking?"

Nanjo Aimi first gave a strange "hmm," then, as if she had thought of something, slowly said...

"Hey, Kujo, don't tell me you're still the same Muggle you used to be, even after all these supernatural beings..."

Kujou Oborozuki glanced at her sideways: "What, do you think Onmyoji are superior?"

"Forget it, there's no point in explaining this to Muggles."

……

At the other end of the ring, Takizawa Kai's pupils dilated.

How did he manage to absorb and manipulate the spiritual energy of the entire venue?
Even if Uesugi Tetsu's powerful physique could withstand it, how did he manage to connect with such a massive amount of spiritual energy all at once?

Forget it, there's no time to think about it anymore!
I originally wanted to keep some spiritual energy for emergencies, but now I'm afraid I can't do that anymore.

As Takizawa Kai observed the ever-increasing number of thunder dragons, he cleared his mind, allowing a five-colored white light to illuminate his pupils.

Squeeze out all the spiritual power!

boom--!
The pure white light formed from the five colors burst forth as if it could dissolve everything in the world.

Roar--!
Multiple thunder dragons intertwined, their scales rubbing together and sparks flying, roaring as they charged forward at their master's command.

A pale white light and a total of fourteen thunder dragons surged from the two individuals toward each other, dimming all other light in the entire arena.

"—Which side will collapse first, with Uesugi's lightning magic or Takizawa's Five Elements Secret Technique?!"

Ye Chun squatted on the cheap ergonomic chair he had bought years ago, and after rummaging around for a long time amidst the creaking sounds, he finally found a second live stream room where he could tip the contestants.

With her sleepy eyes half-open, she wanted to send a message supporting Uesugi Tetsuya, but she found that in this live stream, you couldn't speak unless you were at the so-called "level 21".

In that case, the cursor on the screen moved to the in-game purchase section.

Just as Ye Chun was about to give a reward, he noticed a huge rocket suddenly appear on the screen.

The words "Takizawa-kun will win!" were written in large letters above, which conveniently obscured the face of Uesugi Tetsu on one side of the screen.

Ye Chun's expression darkened, and with a crisp scan sound, he immediately sent out the most expensive gift in the live stream—a golden rocket.

As the roar of engines filled the air, the five large characters "Uesugi-kun will win!" appeared on the other side of the screen.

Ye Chun nodded in satisfaction.

But just as the white light and the thunder dragon began to collide, the rocket that read "Takizawa-kun will win!" reappeared.

Someone sent another rocket, which covered Uesugi Tetsuya's face!
"You want to compete in this...?"

Ye Chun snorted coldly, changed his name to "Uesugi Tetsuya is the best in the world", and quickly sent out five blank golden rockets with his fingers.

Rockets vs. Rockets!

The massive special effects instantly obscured the entire live stream, causing the host, who had been passionately commentating, to pause in his tracks.
"Thank you to 'Uesugi Tetsu is the Best in the World' for the five golden rockets..."

After a series of thank-you speeches, the rocket effects dissipated, and the head-on collision between the white light and the thunder dragon came to a conclusion.

As a result, the Thunder Dragons on Uesugi Tetsu's side were completely devoured and turned into nothingness.

The white light, now mostly dissipated, continued its thunderous advance, seemingly determined to end the battle just like that. At this moment, a barrage of comments like "Uesugi agreed," "TOP6 is going to disappear so beautifully like this," and "Aichetsu's rocket can't be stopped" floated across the live stream screen.

Ye Chun remained expressionless and clicked the mouse to send out more golden rockets.

boom!
Amidst the rocket's plume, the mask of Akabane suddenly emerged from the pure white beam of light that had been cleaved in two by the transparent blade.

The white light split apart, dissolving dozens of meters of the arena floor behind Uesugi Tetsuya.

However, this could not change the fact that Uesugi Tetsu had broken through Takizawa Kai's final killing move!

"it is good!!!"

Ye Chun slammed his fist on the table in excitement, causing the mouse in his hand to squeal and knocking over the coffee he hadn't finished yesterday.

The live stream chat was filled with a dense barrage of "handsome".

At this moment, at Ye Chun's doorstep.

Ye Chun's elderly parents looked with concern at the man in a suit, carrying a briefcase, standing at the door and smiling at them.

"Dad, Mom, it's been a long time."

"Didn't you say you wouldn't be back until the end of the year...?"

"Ah, it's because everyone has been working very hard lately, and many of our colleagues who were stationed abroad have returned, so the workload has become much lighter, and we thought we could take some time to come back and visit..."

"--good!!!"

The black-haired man, who was taking off his leather shoes, paused, noticing the slight tremor throughout the old building. He looked up in surprise.

"What's my sister doing upstairs again? Has she caught a cold from not going out for so long?"

……

boom! boom! boom!
Amidst the deafening roar emanating from Yaegaki, Uesugi Tetsuya moved like a ghost through the dense array of magical traps.

In just a few blinks, he arrived in front of the exhausted Takizawa Kai.

Uesugi Tetsu lowered his head, casually raised his finger to shatter the ice spikes that sprang out from behind him with lightning, and looked at Takizawa Kai, who was already slumped on the ground with his eyes rolled back.

Have they lost their ability to fight...?

"Takizawa-kun."

Uesugi Tetsu released his grip, dispersing the Kaga Kiyoki light formed from qi in his palm, and cheerfully spoke to the boy in front of him.
"I'm very happy to spar with you."

Takizawa Kai remained silent, his head still hanging down.

He didn't even have the strength to speak, or even to blink.

Even now, he still doesn't understand where he went wrong.

From a common-sense perspective, his plan should have been flawless in its overall direction...

Wait, "from a common sense perspective"?
In that instant, Takizawa Kai finally realized what a foolish thing he had done.

—Faced with Uesugi Tetsuya, a monster whose understanding was subverted, how could he possibly think of playing by common sense and treating him as a normal opponent?

Takizawa Kai sighed inwardly, "I'm really, incredibly stupid..."

As expected, Miss Yuan's judgment was correct.

Snapped.

After a light but firm chop, Takizawa Kai's consciousness completely vanished into darkness.

The judge, seemingly possessed by a demon, calmly walked onto the stage and loudly announced:

"Uesugi Tetsuya wins!"

On a live stream page, golden rockets continued to soar into the sky, like golden rain falling.

The skilled doctor, with a smile on his face, first touched Uesugi Tetsuya, then pulled Takizawa Kai off the stage, humming a lighthearted tune as he treated him.

After a subtle pause, the demon referee looked at Uesugi Tetsu beside him.

This kid...

That terrifying spiritual power just now was something even he might have had difficulty controlling and absorbing.

Although I'm not an Onmyoji myself.

—Hmm, where's the teleportation beam?

Just as Uesugi Tetsu was wondering what was going on, a beautifully crafted business card was handed to him.

He looked up and saw the demon referee in formal attire smiling: "Uesugi-kun, let's get acquainted."

Faced with the goodwill of the spirits, Uesugi Tetsu had no reason to refuse.

He accepted the business card and nodded, saying, "If I have time, I will visit you."

"Of course you're welcome."

The beam of light then descended, teleporting Uesugi Tetsuya to the TOP5 position.

"Go, Lord Che! Victory, Lord Che! Lord Che is invincible!"

In his seat, a grown man who had somehow transformed into a cheerleader with two colorful balls in his hands clapped enthusiastically as soon as he arrived.

"Yay! Welcome back, Lord Che!"

"Don't make too much noise, look at the way the other guys are looking at you."

Uesugi Tetsu sighed and patted the little boy's head helplessly. He casually mentioned something and then sat down again, turning his attention to the rest of the battles.

Below, Aonosuke has already defeated Higashiyama Kei in his full form. It seems that to fight Pokémon, you need a more diverse deck.

Ririko's words...

Huh?
Uesugi Tetsuya was taken aback, and immediately sat up straight to look.

—Because Ririko is challenging Tokugawa Haruhiko.

At number 14, Tokugawa Haruhiko, who was specifically challenged, looked grim.

How did things come to this?
Before the knockout stage officially began, he thought he could easily defeat Tokugawa Ririko.

But after watching all the battles along the way, Tokugawa Haruhiko realized, after putting himself in the other person's shoes, that he was no match for them at all.

The key point is that she's still carrying that Uesugi guy's katana... Oh right, and that pretty boy Uesugi Che, how did he suddenly become so ridiculously strong!
It's only been such a short time, tsk!
This level of strength is comparable to that of Third Sister when she was under the influence of ghosts and gods!

Tokugawa Haruhiko gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, then suddenly shuddered.

He turned his head and spotted Tokugawa Ryuji with a calm expression in the sparse crowd.

Gulu...

Tokugawa Haruhiko swallowed hard.

Why were my eldest brother and great-grandfather also present?
Didn't we agree to come to Tokyo after the seeding battle?!

Damn it... now there's no way I can admit defeat...

We absolutely have to get it done.

Damn!

Are there any other methods?

Tokugawa Haruhiko gritted his teeth, condensed his inner energy into a thread, and whispered in Ririko's ear, "Fifth Sister, you could have directly challenged the tenth-ranked one."

"Even if there were only a little bit of sibling affection, there's no need to go to this extent, is there?"

He chuckled wryly, "When I was little, didn't I help you, Fifth Sister?"

"Really? Then should I thank you?"

Ririko yawned.

"Unfortunately, I have a bad memory and can't remember it even once."

She then looked at Tokugawa Haruhiko, whose face was ashen, and spread her hands: "Tokugawa Haruhiko, if you feel you are no match for me, you can just admit defeat."

Lili scoffed softly.
"I didn't force you to fight me, did I?"

The beam of light descended, teleporting Ririko, who was carrying Kaga Kiyomitsu, and Tokugawa Haruhiko, who was bowing his head and whose expression was unknown, onto the arena.
