I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 367 The Limits of Imagination, the Pinnacle of Humanity—Spirit Control Technique: Grandmaster Level! Possibly possessing god-like combat power…

The moment the eighty-first acupoint was opened, Uesugi Tetsu did not focus his attention on it.

Because his attention had been completely taken away.

It is "skin".

The strange movements and pains emanating from his skin all over his body immersing him in them before he could even think straight.

It was as if every inch of skin was being slowly, awkwardly, and even haphazardly cut off, skin and flesh, by a rusty, dull knife.

Then, this large piece of skin was immersed in blackish-red molten lava at thousands of degrees Celsius, and then immediately placed in liquid helium at minus two hundred degrees Celsius.

The alternation of cold and heat, the sensations of carbonization and freezing, can easily shatter hundreds or thousands of warriors with steely wills.

Then came the torture of being sliced ​​into countless pieces, as if one had received training in the palace, followed by being sewn back together and then peeled off a second, third, and countless more times.

The most absurd thing is that even though the skin has been peeled off, the nerves on it can still transmit sensations normally.

Moreover, it's clearer!
All the pain and torment were completely and thoroughly experienced by Uesugi Tetsuya, leaving nothing behind, and he savored them "beautifully" countless times.

Pi Zhi Yuan.

Those who fall into the abyss will inevitably experience the pain that only the abyss can bring.

However, from the outside, it is impossible to tell.

In Kaga Kiyomitsu's eyes, Uesugi Tetsu's skin suddenly turned bright red, as if you could squeeze water out of it.

Xiao Jia circled Uesugi Tetsuya twice, puzzled, and muttered to himself.

"Strange... something seems off about Master Yin..."

"Xiao Jia, don't touch Lord Uesugi." Qing stared silently at the scene with his blood-red eyes, speaking with a touch of melancholy, "This is a trial..."

Qing said to himself, "Among those who practice breathing techniques in an era, there are not many who know the Four Ultimates, and even fewer who can accomplish one of them."

And those who can withstand the ultimate trials of the physical body through their own willpower are even fewer…

Upon hearing this, Kaga Kiyomitsu moved several meters away from Uesugi Tetsuya, swaying back and forth like a curious child within this "safe distance."

"Brother Qing, what will happen if you can't handle it?"

"One hundred points of effort, less than ten points of reward."

Qingmu stared intently, and said calmly, "Although we won't leave empty-handed, it's still not worth it no matter how you look at it."

Therefore, even if it's highly likely to succeed, not many people will waste their time on the four ultimate challenges of the Flesh Palace.
In modern terms, it's simply not cost-effective.

These remarks made Kaga Kiyomitsu nervous.

Qing noticed Xiao Jia's emotions through the heartstrings, and smiled: "Don't worry, even if it is an insurmountable barrier for most strong people... it is still easy for you, sir."

As if sensing something, a smile flickered in the bewitching blood-red eyes on the hilt of the spider-slicer.
"Lord Uesugi's will is unshakeable."

It seems eternal, yet it is as fleeting as a moment.

Having crossed the abyss forged by long suffering, Uesugi Tetsu calmly opened his eyes.

Qing laughed: "Little Jia, look, the master has succeeded, hasn't he?"

Before Uesugi Tetsuya's eyes, a notification began to refresh—

You are currently undergoing the "Trial of the Abyss of Skin"...

[Your will has been approved!]

[Your Corona Breathing Technique - Flesh Palace Stage - Four Ultimate Forms - Abyss of Skin is complete!]

Your skin strength has been greatly increased!!!

[Your physique +5! ]

[Your skin's ability to utilize Qi has been greatly increased!!!]

[Your Flesh Palace - Four Ultimate Forms Completion Count: (1/4)]

[Please note that the Willpower attribute required to complete the four ultimate forms next time will be even higher!]

"Nobody said there would be any trials after completing the four ultimate forms, it hurts so much..."

Uesugi Tetsuya closed his eyes again, took a deep breath, and rubbed his slightly aching temples.

If it had been an ordinary three-and-a-half-star samurai, he would probably have been tortured to death a hundred times over.

By the way, it seems that he created these four ultimate forms himself, without asking anyone else.

So, this time it really was "you didn't ask".

After muttering a curse at himself for being an idiot, Uesugi Tetsuya looked down at his palm.

To be more precise, it's the skin on the palm of the hand.

Her fair and smooth skin reflected the soft sunlight, like warm jade or thin white paper.

It looks like it could be easily cut open with any utility knife.

Actually...

Uesugi Tetsu closed his eyes and mentally tested himself, feeling that ordinary divine weapons, even epic blades not used by strong individuals, could not pierce his skin.

At the very least, the sharpness of the five-colored qi is lacking.

Uesugi Tetsu put on the Red Hannya Mask around his waist and clenched his fist, estimating that he used one-fifth of his strength—that is, the strength of a Great Master—to strike the body.

hiss--

His pupils contracted, then he grinned.

No pain.

The force of the fist was completely swallowed up the moment it touched the skin, as if falling into an endless abyss.

Even he could only feel a tiny, insignificant force seeping into his internal organs.

If the Grand Master were actually a pile driver, capable of unleashing thousands of punches per second, he might actually pose some threat...

"This is the Pi Zhi Yuan..."

Uesugi Tetsu couldn't help but exclaim in amazement—even with his Qi circulation combined with his current Zhou Tian Yan Armor, he couldn't achieve this level.

It not only protects against slashing attacks, but also against blunt force strikes. No matter what kind of strange force it is, as long as it touches the skin, it will fall into the "abyss" and disappear without a trace.

"No wonder the legend says that as long as one cultivates one of the four ultimate forms, one can walk sideways under the gods and ghosts."

Uesugi Tetsu nodded approvingly.
"Now it seems that what was said was true."

The effects of Skin Abyss are far more practical than any five or ten points in Physique.

It's just that the armor has been layered again...

Uesugi Tetsu summoned Kaga and Ao again, gently placed them on his skin, and struggled to cut through it.

Once the skin was cut open, Uesugi Tetsu unwittingly let the blade embed itself into the bone, causing Kaga to cry out in surprise and quickly say that he did not mean to.

Qing is much the same; both have tough skin but simple muscles.

It's important to know that Kaga Kiyomitsu and the Spider Cutter are both of legendary quality, one of which was once above legendary, serving as a benchmark!
With this pile of tortoise shells stacked up, even ghosts and gods wouldn't be qualified to harm him...

Uesugi Che was speechless.

If he were made to stand as punishment in front of the Grand Master now, the latter probably wouldn't even be able to hit him.

Let's look at the subsequent prompts—

[The hidden treasure of the human body (81/108)]

【Palace of Flesh (0/5000)】

After the Abyss of Skin, comes the Palace of Flesh, which makes perfect sense.

The section on the human body's divine treasures refers to the 72 major acupoints that are opened after the completion of the Great Divine Treasures. Each of these major acupoints does not have any new minor functions.

Uesugi Tetsu guessed that it might be brewing a big wave, which could be considered a good thing.

Since those quirky little features might only be used once a year anyway, it's better to get something more practical.

Seeing Uesugi Tetsu exhale and begin to distract himself, Aoya, standing at his side, said, "Congratulations, Uesugi-sama, on taking another step forward..."

"Xiaoqing, don't rush to congratulate me."

Uesugi Tetsu and the Bloodshot Eye at his waist exchanged a smile: "When did I say it was over?" "Wh-what?"

A hint of astonishment flashed in his blood-red eyes as he watched as Uesugi Tetsu closed his eyes and, in a single breath that lasted for several minutes, purified and absorbed all the spiritual energy of the entire Imagawa building into his body.

[Your skill, Spirit Control Technique - Qi Proficiency +20!]

[Your skill, Spirit Control Technique - Qi, has been upgraded to Grandmaster level!!!]

In an instant, a spiritual energy vortex several times larger than the entire Junfu City slowly appeared in the sky.

Bloodshot eyes rose, and Qing was speechless for a moment.

He had never seen an Onmyoji, a being under the influence of demons and gods, achieve such a level of skill...

But before Qing could even feel a sense of awe, Uesugi Tetsuya had another thought, causing the enormous vortex of spiritual energy to dissipate.

—If this vortex, which could be a grand spectacle, were to actually form, it would probably drain all the spiritual energy within a radius of dozens of miles and still not be enough.

Wouldn't that be like openly telling all opponents, "I've made a major breakthrough! If you want to kill me, you'll have to go all out!"

While Uesugi Tetsuya was not afraid of his opponents, he was not foolish enough to reveal his trump cards to them, allowing them to spend months researching how to deal with him.

It's better to expand the absorption range to a radius of thousands of miles and proceed gradually.

Normally, there are "unknown people" absorbing spiritual energy all over the surrounding area, and the great Yin-Yang masters of those ancient families would definitely be able to easily discover this strange situation.

However, Uesugi Tetsuya's current skill level is too high.

【Spirit Control Technique - Qi (Grandmaster 0/20000)】

[Effect: Spiritual, controlled by magic.]

[—The limits of imagination, the pinnacle of humanity.]

Let alone anyone within a thousand miles discovering it, it's uncertain whether anyone throughout the entire Warring States period could even detect Uesugi Tetsu absorbing spiritual energy.

Uesugi Tetsuya closed his eyes and felt the spiritual energy from the vast world flowing into his body, gradually expanding the rivers that were originally rushing on the vast, arid riverbeds.

He couldn't help but sigh.
"This feeling of becoming stronger so quickly, steadily, and with such clear clarity is truly wonderful."

It may take several days to slowly absorb the excess spiritual energy in the body.

But Uesugi Tetsuya isn't in a hurry.

He has plenty of free time now.

As the weapon that is connected to Uesugi Tetsu's heartstrings, Ao, who witnessed everything just now, could naturally sense the intention of "gradually planning to conquer a thousand miles in all directions".

He paused for a moment, then said in a complicated tone, "Lord Uesugi, perhaps Abe no Seimei is not as good as you."

Qing said slowly,

"At least before he became a ghost or god, he couldn't have done what you have done."

"What's the point of comparing them?"

Uesugi Tetsu waved his hand, not getting arrogant because of this small lead: "I'm not so smug and overjoyed as to win against an eight-year-old after going through all my hard work."

Qing: "Then everyone in this world is wasting their time."

Although Xiao Jia didn't understand spiritual energy or Abe no Seimei, she knew that her master seemed to have become stronger again, so she buzzed happily beside her, looking very cheerful.

Further away, in the inner room where the sliding door was deliberately closed, the black leather book that Karudo had placed beside his lap shook, and crooked bloody words appeared on the closed pages.

[Damn it, how did Uesugi Tetsu get stronger again... What kind of monster is he? What kind of blood flows through his veins? ???]

If this keeps up, I'll be completely trapped!

Uesugi Tetsu lowered his gaze and looked at the series of notifications that appeared after his Spirit Control Technique was upgraded to the Grandmaster level.

[Your Spirit Control Technique has been upgraded to Grandmaster level, your Spirit Power has increased by 20!]

[Because your Spirit Control Technique has been upgraded to Grandmaster level, your spiritual power reserves have increased dramatically!]

Because your Spirit Control Technique has been upgraded to the Grandmaster level, "Qi" is no different from "Spiritual Power" in your eyes, and both can be used.

[Because your Spirit Control Technique has been upgraded to Grandmaster level, your affinity and adaptability to spiritual energy have temporarily reached the peak of your current life level!]

"A temporary upgrade, which means it has reached the limit below the level of ghosts and gods?"

"As expected, there are limits to humanity, unless we can achieve..."

Uesugi Tetsu gazed at the colorful wisps of energy floating above his palm, silently pondering...
"Beyond human capabilities".

Nowadays, in his eyes, "blood and qi" are qi, and "air" is also qi...

Therefore, if a weak person enters Uesugi Tetsu's perception range, he can cause the weak person to explode and die with a single thought.

When facing someone who can control their own blood and qi well, Uesugi Tetsu can directly deplete the air, causing the opponent to lack oxygen, or simply remove the oxygen.

To counter the diverse techniques of the Great Yin-Yang Arts, he can also disrupt the opponent's spiritual energy at crucial moments, causing their spell to fail.

—As long as the enemy's spellcasting speed is not as fast as his thought.

No matter what level of enemy you face, the Spirit Control Technique can provide a corresponding solution.

The Spirit Control Technique was undoubtedly the strongest Yin-Yang Technique he had ever seen, and also a Grand Yin-Yang Technique.

"This terrifying thing was sent to me by a working-class netizen I'd never even met in person, just casually typing it on LINE on an ordinary evening."

This is even more bizarre than some old man who found a ring at a street stall; it's completely outrageous..."

Thinking about this, Uesugi Tetsu's feelings became complicated.

He was silent for a moment, then flickered his fingertips with seemingly faint, yet actually destructive, lightning.

The combined power of this Grandmaster-level Spirit Control Technique and the Master-level Five Thunder Technique is not simply a matter of one plus one, nor is it a simple calculation like ten times ten; rather, it represents something far more terrifying…

With a flick of his finger, he could probably destroy the entire Imagawa House.

Uesugi Tetsuya suppressed the urge to use his hands and muttered to himself, "Plus, the Myriad Spirits Furnace Core can amplify damage, and the Pi Zhi Yuan even adds a 'health bar'..."

Let alone being able to manipulate my former self at will, I'm afraid even ordinary ghosts and gods wouldn't be a threat to me anymore.

If we rewind two months, he might have been able to intervene in the life-or-death struggle between Nanjo and Ai in Arakawa Ward.

Uesugi Tetsu blinked.

In other words, I might already have god-like combat power right now?

He immediately dismissed the idea as soon as it came to mind.

Do not be arrogant, do not be arrogant.

Uesugi Tetsu silently told himself, "I am currently, and will remain for a long time, below the level of demons and gods, which is the range of three and a half stars."

All spirits and deities, regardless of their strength or weakness, must be treated with utmost caution!

Therefore, we still need a weak ghost or god to serve as a reference point. After all, only through practice can we gain true knowledge. We cannot assume that just because we think we are a ghost or god, we are a ghost or god.

The Fangxiang clan of Edo Castle is definitely out of the question; he's probably not weak even among those below the Five Stars.

With this thought in mind, Uesugi Tetsuya took out a VIP card that was entirely black and gold from his storage backpack.

—Back in the mortal world, asking Ye Chun to help me trick a weak demon into getting on the Ruyue Train might be a viable solution.

Staring at the black and gold VIP card in his hand, Uesugi Tetsu recalled that face that was still incredibly young in his memory.

So much time has passed, I wonder how she's doing now.

He asks for help as soon as he meets someone.

I felt a little embarrassed.

"Have her find someone who's caused trouble on the train, someone with connections you can't mess with..."

No matter how strong they are, they can't extend their reach into the mortal world; no matter how powerful their background, can it be greater than the legendary Lord of the Mortal World?

What's more, he can also fake it.

After convincing himself, Uesugi Tetsu decided to use the card at Old Kisaragi Station later.

Yes, it's okay to use this card to call her for help.

should……

Right?
