I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 328 A drastically altered talent, a beauty beyond compare, even the God of Wasteland cannot see through it! Spider Cutter: The new master becomes a fox demon…

A six-tailed fox.

A simple promotion actually transformed him from an ordinary four-tailed fox into a six-tailed fox, something Uesugi Tetsuji had never seen before!

It should be noted that a "six-tailed fox" is usually a standard feature of "ghosts and gods".

Even the "Fox Brother" in the Edo Castle Shrine, who was hundreds of years old, was only a five-tailed fox.

Uesugi Tetsu let out a slightly expectant breath, and was about to subconsciously move his foot when he felt his left foot suddenly slip into thin air.

Click...

The crisp cracking sound of the rock wall was very clear, followed by the falling of pebbles the size of a thumb.

Falling, falling, falling...

After a good ten seconds, Uesugi Tetsuya still didn't hear the sound of the pebble hitting the ground.

Slowly retracting his left foot that had slipped into the air, Uesugi Tetsu faced the crack that had suddenly appeared beside the ruins of Kisaragi Station...

wrong.

This can no longer be called a "crack".

Uesugi Tetsuya's pupils contracted slightly, his gaze first sinking into the thick darkness, then following that darkness all the way to the horizon thousands of meters away.

— Rift Valley.

The massive rift valley beside his toes, thousands of meters long, thousands of meters deep, and tens of meters wide, could undoubtedly be described as a "scar on the earth."

When Uesugi Tetsu looked up again, he found that half of the ruins of Kisaragi Station had been swallowed up by the rift.

If it had been any more off-center, he probably would have been lying on the ground when he opened his eyes this time.

Moreover, this rift valley is an "artificial rift valley" where the rock walls are completely smooth.

—Torn apart by a claw?
—Was it cleaved in two by a single sword strike?

What exactly happened at the ruins of Tokoyo's Kisaragi Station during the time he was away?

Uesugi Tetsu did a quick calculation.

If the damage that caused this rift were placed on the ground, it could easily split all the mountains in front of him in two.

Even multiple ghosts and gods might be swallowed up the moment this rift valley was created.

In comparison, the hole he had previously created with the Wanling Furnace Core was nothing at all.

Uesugi Tetsu looked around but couldn't sense any disturbance in spiritual energy or any trace of recent life.

But this terrifying rift valley is a real place.

In the ordinary world, terrifying events that are difficult for ordinary people to comprehend can occur at any time and in any place.

Just because something is not commonly seen does not mean it does not exist.

Uesugi Tetsu silently remembered this, and then looked at the brand-new panel with a calmed mind.

[Demon Incarnation: Six-Tailed Fox]

【Physique: 0】

[Will: 0]

[Charm: +15→+20]

[Spiritual Arts: +60 → +95]

[Quality: Epic → Epic++]

[Rank: Two and a half stars → Three stars]

[Level Cap: Four Stars]

Huh?
Unlike when Bai Banruo was promoted, the four-tailed fox's simple promotion actually brought two "+" signs.

No wonder I had this sudden urge, this feeling of having a premonition.

The rank cap has also been raised as a result, which is not bad.

Uesugi Tetsuya looked relaxed.

In that case, I wouldn't need to expend so much effort to find a way to raise the upper limit of this very important incarnation to the level of a demon or god.

Furthermore, once the six-tailed fox transforms into a demon god, its rank cap should continue to rise as a result.

However, Uesugi Tetsu predicts that the highest level he can reach is only "four and a half stars," and it will be difficult for him to reach the level of "Aragami"...

But these things are a bit far off, and there's no need to worry about them right now.

When Uesugi Tetsu looked down again, he couldn't help but be taken aback.

[Talents: Thousand Faces - Extreme, Rage - Extreme, Six-Tailed Fox]

What about my talent?

How come I only have two of all my original talents left?

This "six-tailed" talent should be a bonus that all fox demons receive after advancing to the six-tailed fox level.

In other words, this promotion not only failed to grant any new talents, but actually reduced them...

[The Demonic Incarnation - Six-Tailed Fox has evolved the most suitable talent combination for you based on your past usage.]

The hints that were already there answered Uesugi Tetsuya's question.

It turned out to be the case.

After thinking for a moment, Uesugi Tetsu realized that this was indeed the case.

In addition to "Thousand Faces and Myriad Forms" and "Wrath", he also had three other talents: "Divine Travel", "Soul Imprint", and "Mirage".

But there are almost no occasions where he can use his imagination.

Soul imprints can only be used to pry open the mouths of low-level demons, and he generally does not need such cheap information. If he were to use it to deal with strong people, it would not only be time-consuming and laborious, but he could only achieve temporary control.

Not worth the candle.

While mirages have their uses, they are still ineffective against strong opponents who meet their standards, and their weaknesses have been fully exposed in the seed battle.

When dealing with a large number of weak people, Uesugi Tetsu's current Spirit Control Technique, Five Thunder Technique, and the Myriad Spirit Furnace Core are enough to completely handle the situation.

So this whole thing should be a good thing.

Uesugi Tetsu nodded secretly.

If we include the new talent that should have appeared during this promotion, then it would be using four talents to enhance the original two talents.

I hope the results will satisfy me.

[Thousand Faces, Myriad Forms - Ultimate: Consuming a small amount of spiritual energy, one can shape their appearance and height into any form. Simultaneously, this talent allows for complete concealment of one's aura and spiritual energy fluctuations. Furthermore, the disguise cannot be detected by ordinary beings of five stars or below.]

Reduce power consumption, improve battery life, and achieve complete convergence.

Hmm, not bad!
"The disguise cannot be seen through by ordinary beings of five stars or below, nor can it be seen through by the Aragami?"

Uesugi Tetsu repeated the sentence to himself and swallowed hard.

made money.

This time, I made a lot of money.

Trading three or four talents that don't fundamentally change him for the enhancement of the core talent "Thousand Faces" is a sure win!

Because the four-tailed fox... no, the six-tailed fox currently exists as a "vessel" for the incarnations of other demons.

Its combat power itself is not important.

Importantly, it needs to conceal Uesugi Tetsu's demonic state from the eyes of others.

After that, Uesugi Tetsu was able to maintain multiple incarnations and move freely in most areas of the present world.

Because although there are many ghosts and gods in the world, there are only a few places where there might be beings at the level of the Wild God.

All things considered, there are only the Tokyo Five, the Kyoto Onmyodo headquarters, the Sword Saint's residence, and the clans of the three major families and the ancient Onmyoji families...

The current "Thousand Faces, Myriad Forms - Extreme" allows Uesugi Tetsuya to maintain the superposition of multiple incarnations even in places like this.

This improvement in his regular combat effectiveness cannot be measured by data!
However, the description of this talent actually included the word "ordinary".

In other words, the difference between the Aragami may be even greater than the difference between the Oni-gods!
"I wonder what exactly this so-called 'wild god' is all about..."

Uesugi Tetsuya, completely unaware of the possible classifications among the Aragami and the methods of advancement, stopped thinking about it and simply continued reading with a cautious eye. [Rage - Extreme: During skill activation, all attributes are doubled, and all additional attributes are also doubled. All skill cooldowns are halved for half an hour. For 48 hours after the skill ends, all attributes remain constant at 5.]

Compared to before, the description of Wrath only added the sentence "At the same time, all additional attributes are also doubled", and even the duration was halved.

But it doesn't matter.

Because when "rage" is needed, Uesugi Tetsuya no longer needs half an hour to resolve a battle.

Five minutes, or even a minute, can resolve everything that is happening right now—but if something can't be resolved in that time, then an hour or even twenty-four hours won't be enough to deal with it.

Half an hour is more than enough.

The key lies in the doubled additional attributes—the effects of breathing techniques, the "Lin" word technique, pale madness... all the skills are doubled!
For a fleeting moment, Uesugi Tetsu even considered taking Kaga Kiyomitsu and Spider-Kiri to Edo Castle to chop down the Hosōji.

But reason told him that there might indeed be a chance to win, but there was no guarantee of victory or even a high probability of success.

If you can't win, you'll have to lie down for 48 hours, unable to farm Soul Ash or cultivate, and you might even have to stop the automatic AFK farming of the Myriad Spirits Furnace Core.

This is a big loss.

Uesugi Tetsuya generally doesn't engage in this kind of gambling behavior.

Besides, he still has things to do right now, so he's not in a hurry to chop off Fang Xiangshi's dog head.

Well, it wouldn't hurt to let this dog samurai live for another week or a month.

Next, there's the new talent.

[Six-Tailed Fox: The six-tailed fox possesses noble blood, making it easier for it to gain the favor of all "fox demons" and demons "possessing fox demon blood."]

Uesugi Tetsu: “…”

What's the point of this thing? Isn't it just a disguised way of increasing one's charm?

The key is that he himself is very charismatic...

This is obvious just by looking at the description of the Six-Tailed Fox.

[—A beauty of unparalleled grace, boundless spiritual power, ever-changing nature, and capable of turning completely red and scratching when angry… but other than that, she seems to be utterly useless—a disgrace to the six-tailed fox?]

Uesugi Tetsu covered his eyes and looked up at the sky, then burst out laughing, barely able to contain himself.

He never imagined that one day the phrase "a beauty of unparalleled grace" would be applied to him.

That couldn't be more outrageous.

But I must say, if you only look at the six-tailed fox as a single incarnation, the description is truly exquisite.

—A six-tailed fox whose physique and willpower cannot be improved in the slightest, who only has ridiculously high charm and spiritual attributes, and who relies solely on talent and has never learned Yin-Yang arts, does that not completely fit this description?

After all, most demons just follow the innate talents inherited in their bloodline and go down the dark path. Let alone being able to actively learn and use magic, those below the level of ghosts and gods who can read are considered dragons and phoenixes among demons.

A six-tailed fox with only a pretty face and spiritual power would probably have an unimaginable fate in the mortal world.

But he is different.

For Uesugi Tetsuya, this is the best direction for evolution.

[Because your demonic form, the Four-Tailed Fox, has changed to the Six-Tailed Fox, your special equipment, the "Four-Tailed Fox Jade Token," has been changed to the "Six-Tailed Fox Jade Token"!]

[Six-Tailed Fox Jade Pendant]

[Quality: Epic → Epic++]

[Effect 1: Significantly increases the wearer's affinity with spiritual energy.]

[Effect 2: Increases the wearer's spiritual attribute by 60% equivalent to "Demon Incarnation: Six-Tailed Fox".]

[Effect 3: Moderately increases the power of the wearer's lightning-based Yin-Yang techniques.]

[Effect 4: When transforming, the Six-Tailed Fox Jade Token will not disappear; however, the increase in spiritual power attribute will be reduced to 30%.]

[—The four-tailed fox that was once imprinted on it has now completed the purification of its bloodline, and the noble six-tailed fox has emerged, bringing with it the privileges that belong to the six-tailed fox.]

Uesugi Tetsuya held the jade pendant in his hand, which was crystal clear and had a six-tailed fox on it that seemed to be about to jump out of the pendant.

If the original four-tailed fox jade pendant was a demon's prop, then the current jade pendant could fetch an unimaginable price even if sold as a work of art.

The change in the jade plaque was within Uesugi Tetsu's expectations.

Unexpectedly, the new effect four—an effect that added a full 30 points to his spirit magic attribute out of thin air!
The four-dimensional attributes become increasingly difficult to improve as you progress, but the improvement is also much greater!

With these thirty points of spiritual power attribute, his spiritual power reserves might just double!
With a disguise that even the gods cannot see through, Sugichi can maintain his avatar even in the mortal world, which will greatly accelerate his cultivation speed in all aspects.

win!
Uesugi Tetsuya took out the card representing the six-tailed fox from his Qi Sea. He examined the card's azure border, which had slightly extended and spread out, forming lines of tiny ancient characters along the edge.

In the center of the heavy card, a breathtakingly beautiful six-tailed fox sits lazily with her legs crossed, exuding an indescribable air of nobility.

The background of the entire card is divided into six intermingled colors along the six huge, snow-white tails, and if Uesugi Tetsuichi is not careful, he might even feel that the six-tailed fox in the card is moving.

Before you know it, Live2D is included as a bonus.

Uesugi Tetsuya didn't say much. He transformed into a six-tailed fox under the gaze of Spider-Kiri, who had been silent and deep in thought since entering the Mortal World.

pat.

As the sandalwood clogs landed, six fluffy tails, each larger than before, stretched out gently behind Uesugi Tetsuya, while pink fox ears twitched on his head, bringing a completely new auditory experience.

With the amplification effect of the jade pendant hanging at his waist, even Uesugi Tetsu's unconscious normal breathing caused a surge of spiritual energy within a radius of several kilometers.

He glanced at his current attribute panel without wearing the Red Hannya Mask.

【Uesugi Tetsu】(Demon Incarnation: Six-Tailed Fox + Six-Tailed Fox Jade Pendant + Hundred Eyes for You)

Physical Strength: 105 + 5 = 110

[Willpower: 73 + 42 = 115]

[Charm: 21+20+7=48]

【灵术：87+95+30+5=217】

Hmm... Even disregarding the mask, it would be difficult to find a human or demon among the demons and gods who possesses such four-dimensional attributes.

Snapped.

After a snap of his fingers, the spiritual energy within a ten-kilometer radius settled down and continued to flow in its original direction.

A smooth water mirror appeared in front of Uesugi Tetsuya, reflecting his current appearance.

He made a peace sign, and then realized that the tempting, sinful six-tailed fox demon above, whose mere existence was enough to make him feel utterly wicked, was actually himself.

For a moment, Uesugi Tetsuya fell silent in front of the six fluffy tails that were a nightmare to groom.

The six-tailed fox that I conjured up seems... to actually be real...

It's kind of nice.

If in the past it was said that beautiful women were a source of trouble, a little effort was enough to make even the most determined warriors lose their composure.

So now his face can be used as a "hypnosis app".

Uesugi Tetsu roughly estimated that if someone's mental cultivation was below the hundred refinements level, or their willpower attribute was less than a few dozen points, they would probably willingly kneel before him with just a flick of his finger.

Even for ghosts and spirits, the impact is probably not small.

Only those who achieve a clear understanding of swordsmanship or whose willpower attribute reaches several hundred can remain completely unaffected.

Uesugi Tetsu tugged at his soft, smooth face, and after a loud slap, sighed helplessly, "This face has completely become a deadly weapon and a trump card..."

He took a blank karuta card from his storage backpack and stuffed it into the red and white kimono that his avatar came with.

I've finished testing the new avatar, it's about time to head to the Karuta factory and start tonight's speedrun main course.

By the way, you can also try to see if this face can get some hidden rewards from the Fox-masked Woman or Hoshiguma Doji.

Uesugi Tetsu licked his lips.

But before that...

He lowered his head, meeting the cold, blood-red eyes that were silently watching him from the bottom of the spider, and revealed a gentle smile that could drive countless demons mad.

"Xiaoqing, I bet you have a million questions on your mind right now, don't you?"

"Lord Uesugi, you are right."

At his waist, a deep blue katana was drawn on its own, severing several strands of hair and held horizontally in front of Uesugi Tetsuya's neck.

Uesugi Tetsu gently pressed down on Kaga Kiyomitsu, whose sword was emitting an angry clang at his waist, and heard Ao say...
“If you cannot provide an explanation that will convince me, then I will kill you here, even at the cost of my own self-destruction.”
