I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 362 Normal Dual Attributes Exceed 200! Only Abe no Seimei, Ashiya Dōman, and the Sword Saint are a match for him.

The third stage of the "Lin" technique.

The moment the prompt popped up, Uesugi Tetsuya could feel the mist shrouding the ancient character "临" in his consciousness space dissipate.

The already dazzling silver became even more radiant, reaching a point of intense heat, giving Uesugi Tetsuya a warm feeling.

At the same time, the mark on the back of his right hand glowed faintly before disappearing completely.

An intuition told Uesugi Tetsuya that the Linzi Technique no longer needed to rely on this tiny physical entity to exist.

After his consciousness left the larger, darker space within the silver light's range, Uesugi Tetsu saw a series of pop-up notifications.

[Because your mastery of the "Lin" character technique has reached 20%, the effectiveness of your "Lin" character technique has been further enhanced!]

[Because your mastery of the "Lin" character technique has reached 20%, using it will no longer incur any costs!]

[Because your mastery of the "Lin" character technique has reached 20%, the difficulty of comprehending it has greatly increased!]

[Because your mastery of the "Lin" technique has reached 20%, your results have undergone a new change!]

"No further consumption?"

Uesugi Tetsu's gaze was immediately drawn to this line of text.

Compared to this, even the increased difficulty of further comprehension is nothing, and he even feels that the increased difficulty of comprehension is somewhat justified.

This is probably the biggest improvement brought about by the Linzi Jue technique after entering the so-called "third stage".

Although the original Linzi Jue technique had ample activation time, it could only be maintained for a few hours a day. In the event of extremely intense chaotic battles or even wars, it would be somewhat disadvantageous.

But things are different now.

The fact that it is always activated means that his "normal combat power" has been further enhanced!

Without further thought, Uesugi Tetsuya first activated the Lin character technique on his own, then checked the panel showing its changes—

【The Secret of the Character "Lin"】

Mastery level: 20.000%

Effect 1: Upon use, a barrier is generated on the body surface by default, which strengthens the user. You can manipulate it at will, and a new barrier will be generated after the current barrier breaks.

However, generating a new barrier requires a certain amount of mental energy.

The effects of the original "Lin" technique, both of which are now combined, mean he no longer needs to choose between instant-cast barrier and attribute enhancement.

This barrier, which even he himself could not directly observe through other means, adhered tightly from top to bottom and enveloped his entire body the moment the Lin Word Technique was activated.

Following the Zhou Tian Yan Jia and the circulation of Gang Qi, the close-fitting barrier of the Lin Zi Jue became Uesugi Tetsuya's third "turtle shell".

After trying to draw the barrier several times with his five-colored qi to no avail, Uesugi Tetsuya couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.

How did I inexplicably end up going further and further down this path of armor-piercing...?

Fortunately, the improvement of the "Lin" technique is not limited to "Die Jia".

Originally, the increase in physique and willpower totaled 40 points, but now it has increased to 30 points in each, for a total of 60 attribute points!
Even now, the "forging of tendons" stage of the Flesh Palace only provides Uesugi Tetsuya with about 10 points of physique.

The improvement is considerable.

The attributes are getting higher and higher... Ha, as long as the values ​​are high enough, even ghosts and gods have to kneel down!

Effect 2: You will continuously accumulate "Limit Breaking Value" during high-intensity battles or training. When the Limit Breaking Value is full, you can consume all the Limit Breaking Value at once to enter the "Overlimit State".

In this transcendent state, you will possess all the abilities of your original transcendent states of Repair and Combat, while the existing effects will be further enhanced.

[Current limit exceeded: 100/100]

[—The beginning of all things, ruling over all, breaking through constraints, and entering a new realm.]

The original over-limit status has also received a major update.

Significantly increased cultivation speed, perfect comprehension, coupled with super perception and future vision...

Uesugi Tetsu thought to himself, "Doesn't this mean that as long as I activate the Overlimit state during battle, the proficiency I gain after the battle will increase several times over?"

Coupled with his defensive and regenerative abilities, which even ordinary ghosts and gods fear, he is simply perfect.

While others need several days or even weeks to recover after a life-or-death battle, Uesugi Tetsu not only recovers incredibly quickly after a life-or-death battle, but his strength also improves every day!

Moreover, fighting to the death can also increase the overlimit value.

Isn't this a perpetual motion machine of the new era...?

Suppressing a smile that he couldn't help but let up, Uesugi Tetsuya checked his current [Normal] attribute panel—

[Uesugi Tetsu (Demon Incarnation - Six-Tailed Fox, Six-Tailed Fox Jade Token, Hundred Eyes for You + Lin Word Technique 20%)]

Physical Strength: 120 + 30 = 150

[Willpower: 135 + 30 = 163]

【Charm: 12 (48)】

[Spiritual Skills: 217]

Aside from suppressing his charm to within the realm of normal people to prevent unexpected incidents, this is the "ultra-high charm for mission completion" form that Uesugi Tetsu most often uses.

As long as he doesn't encounter figures like the Great Wilderness God or the Sword Saint in the mortal world, Uesugi Tetsuya can basically maintain this form.

He hadn't forgotten the gains he made when he first met Hoshiguma Doji after raising his charm.

Of course, if you want to maximize your combat power, you should wear the [Hannya Mask - Red], which will greatly reduce your charm.

Simply wearing a mask will cause you to lose 30 charm points, and if you put on a mask...

However, in contrast, the attributes will increase significantly again!
Uesugi Tetsu casually snapped the mask back on, then looked down at the panel with a smile.

【Uesugi Tetsu】

Physical Strength: 150 + 63 = 213

[Willpower: 163 + 28 = 191]

【Charm: 0】

[Spiritual Technique: 217 + 9 = 226]

Seeing that his charm had dropped to zero, Uesugi Tetsu nodded in satisfaction.
"When you need to take out this mask, what good is your face... It's just a pity that my base charm is too high to drop to negative numbers and scare children like before."

His physical and spiritual attributes have now exceeded 200, and his willpower is about to exceed 200.

In addition, he possesses a series of highly refined Yin-Yang techniques and an incarnation talent...

I'm afraid that among those with three and a half stars, there would be few who could rival them.

Not to mention that he could shatter the former Grand Master with a single slap from a distance, even the Seed Battle's Shizuku Gen couldn't last three moves against him.

If they were to fight again, as long as Yuan Jingshui had not broken through to the level of a demon god, even if she had already achieved sword enlightenment, it would be difficult for her to utter the words "beg for mercy" under the current Uesugi Tetsuya.

Uesugi Tetsu removed his mask and stared into the eyes of the lifelike, ferocious red Hannya.

"Perhaps only Abe no Seimei, Ashiya Dōman, and the sword saints of each generation during this period could attempt to challenge me."

His strength has long surpassed the limits of this era, and even those of recent eras, that are "below the level of gods and demons." Every step he takes now is a giant leap forward toward the unknown.

As for the young Uesugi Izumi in "The Sword of Gengoro"... Uesugi Tetsuya has no penchant for child abuse.

"By the way, is Kamiizumi still alive at this time? I wonder how strong he is..."

Uesugi Tetsu muttered to himself, a glint of light suddenly flashing in his eyes.

Oh right, in the [City of Chaos] he visited before, wasn't there a so-called [New Star Stele] in the arena?

That new star wooden tablet is the culmination of the strongest beings from all time who have been able to reach the City of Chaos, those "below the gods and demons"!
Uesugi Tetsu remembered it very clearly.

The first inscription on the wooden monument reads "Abe no Seimei at age eight".

He sneered,
"Eight years old... doesn't the little rascal think he's been up there too long?"

—Before Hyakume's progress on the Heavenly Path is complete, before he becomes a demon god, we must go to the City of Chaos one more time. We must change the name at the top of that Nova Stele to [Uesugi Tetsu] so that countless humans and demons passing by can look up and see it, and continue this practice for the next millennium!
After setting a small goal for himself, Uesugi Tetsu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling refreshed.

After breaking through the bottleneck of this "Lin" technique, things are completely different; I no longer feel dizzy and lightheaded like before.

After getting up, Uesugi Tetsu casually adjusted to the alternating use of the three layers of protection, and then inevitably felt the "incense smell" emanating from the small house.

Although he couldn't absorb it, Uesugi Tetsu could still feel the incense slowly flowing towards the "source of worship" in the two-foot-long space from all directions.

"How come so many have come out... Isn't this all wasted?"

Not only Uesugi Tetsu, but Karuta, who was sitting not far away, also noticed the problem.

She glanced at the incense that had gathered and then scattered again, then watched for a while as she closed her eyes and absorbed the smoke, cold sweat beading on her forehead.

Karuta put down her pen, wanting to guide the young master based on her feelings and experience.

"We, we don't need your help, you vixen..."

"Didn't Lord Uesugi say that a two-foot-tall person is actually more than two meters tall? How come he looks like a child?"

Karu muttered something to himself, puzzled, then approached with a more friendly smile, ignoring the little hands that were grabbing at him, and began to impart some skills and knowledge on his own.

When she encountered problems along the way, she would make good use of the black book to conduct detailed research and find solutions.

After observing for only a few tens of minutes, Uesugi Tetsuya found that the situation of incense smoke dissipating had improved significantly—originally, he could only purify and absorb 30%, but now he could absorb more than 50%.

Erchi Daren clearly sensed the change, so he was too embarrassed to keep grabbing at Ge Liu and could only obediently put his hands down.

"Their relationship is getting better..."

Seeing this, Uesugi Tetsuya decided not to help Erchi solve the problem of incense absorption himself.

If he has to help with everything, how can the shikigami grow?
Now that Erchi is in trouble, it would be a good thing for Ge Liu to help him.

"But there seems to be something else that would suit her."

After rummaging through his storage backpack for a while, Uesugi Tetsuya pulled out a angular, golden trophy.

The Yin-Yang Power Master personally awarded him the champion's trophy.

[Champion's Trophy]

【Quality: Epic+】

[Effect 1: Tranquility. Practicing near the "Champion's Throne" makes it easier to calm the mind, and wicked spirits cannot approach.]

[Effect 2: Attachment to the Divine Casket. The "Champion's Throne" can be used as an attachment object for most shikigami, and also as a casket for most shikigami when they are worshipped.]

[—This is the trophy awarded to Tetsuyuki Uesugi, the champion of the first seeded tournament in the Eastern Region.]

The key lies in effect two.

The shrines and shrines he distributed were all of excellent quality, so they could hardly hold any incense offerings.

But the champion's trophy is different.

In Uesugi Tetsu's perception, the amount of incense it could store was at least ten thousand times that of those mass-produced products.

Giving it to the two-foot-tall man would be a perfect way to use it as a relay station and warehouse for offerings.

It's just that this look is too flamboyant.

Uesugi Tetsuya grasped the trophy, unleashing his inner energy and spiritual power, and in no time transformed the trophy's appearance into a dull gray stone.

After waiting quietly until Erchi finished eating another batch of incense and caught her breath, Uesugi Tetsuya placed the trophy in front of her.

"Isn't this your seeding tournament trophy, Lord Che?"

Even though the color and material have changed, the two-foot-tall man standing next to it on the day of the awards ceremony still recognized it instantly.

So she was unusually reserved, and her voice stammered a little: "This...this trophy, is it for us?"

Uesugi Tetsu nodded.
"Giving it to you is the best way to make the most of it."

After hearing this, the two-foot-tall man could no longer contain himself. He spread his arms and pounced on Uesugi Tetsuya, clinging to him like an octopus while shouting and yelling.

"I love you, Lord Che!!!"

Karuta stared at Uesugi Tetsuya with a helpless expression, thinking to herself that no matter what, she could never do such a thing.

Thinking about it, she silently looked at Erchi, who was covered in snot and tears on Uesugi Tetsuya's clothes.

I'm actually a little... envious of her.

After finally calming down the young master, Karuta, who seemed unchanged, continued to teach him relevant knowledge.

After that, Karuta even took the black book and expended a lot of energy to use "Exploring Possibilities" once, so that Lord Erchi's trophy could "absorb incense across time"...

Of course, this is something that Uesugi Tetsuya doesn't know.

After closing the sliding door and returning to the courtyard, Uesugi Tetsuya hadn't been practicing his spirit control technique within the simple spirit-gathering barrier for long when a servant presented him with a pile of envelopes.

They were all replies.

Uesugi Tetsu casually opened a few envelopes and found that they were all apologies, expressions of remorse, and admissions of wrongdoing from the Onmyoji on the list, all made in a private capacity.

He threw all the envelopes back and waved his hand.

"A pile of waste paper, just throw it away."

Then, bring up a new panel.

[Resentment - 41.3%]

Compared to these formulaic apologies, the growth of this resentment is much more encouraging.

The day he replied, the numbers surged, and they continue to jump every day to this day.

"These old folks and little folks are all good people."

Uesugi Tetsu couldn't help but sigh.

These are all clever people who know that he intends to combine the three aspects of controlling resentment, anger, and jealousy into one, and after his strength greatly increases, he will settle scores without leaving anyone behind. They still harbor resentment towards him. Of course, they are all good people.

As for why a liquidation is necessary...

You hate me so much in your heart, it's inevitable that you'll take action in the future, right? Why not kill me instead of keeping me alive for the New Year?

The logic is perfect.

hum...

At that moment, Uesugi Tetsu felt Kaga Kiyomitsu at his waist vibrate slightly.

But when he tried to pay attention again, Xiao Jia had fallen silent once more.

"Do you snore when you sleep... Jia, you rascal..."

Uesugi Tetsu stopped paying attention to Kakashi and instead prepared to go to Imagawa Yoshimoto to discuss the matter of going to Kyoto.

That's right, the day he becomes a master of the Five Thunder Technique tomorrow will be the day he informs the other daimyo that he is going to Kyoto!

I've said it before: the trip to Luoyang must be a grand affair, and everyone should know about it!
Imagawa Yoshimoto's march to Kyoto was so that everyone would know about it!

Of course, with things getting so big, there's a good chance that some supernatural beings might intervene and cause trouble along the way.

The official date for the ascent to Luoyang can be set for several months later...

For those daimyo, ancient family Onmyoji, and potential demons, a few months means nothing.

But for him, Uesugi Tetsuya...

Even if he hadn't become a god or spirit during the few months of the Warring States period...

Uesugi Tetsuya gently opened the sliding door and smiled at the girl who was struggling to move the pile of official documents.
"Good afternoon, Lord Yiyuan."

But casually killing a few to liven things up is still no problem.
