Tokyo Wrestler

However, we've already gained enough today.

I got the address from the butler that might lead me to the old samurai Ishimura Kojiro – Aoi Private Cemetery.

He also learned about extraordinary things from the young monk and learned another way to contact people with superpowers: "Find and join the Heavenly Pillar".

The main ones are:

I encountered a level 7 old monk and obtained a secret manual on the golden body of Buddhism!

Sett squeezed the stiff booklet in his bag behind his back and quickened his pace home.

Go back and try learning it!

......

I just entered the house.

Sett noticed that the door to her older sister's bedroom on the first floor was open, and the light from the cheap incandescent bulb shone out from inside, accompanied by the laughter of the mother and daughter.

"Mom...it's a bit tight, it's uncomfortable."

"Huh, I just realized, Yuuka, you've gotten so big..."

"What kind of indecent words are these..." Sett coughed twice, then walked to the door, knocked on the molded wooden door, and then turned his gaze to his older sister's room.

In a bedroom so spacious it didn't even feel like a girl's room.

There was a single bed and a rough, practical coat rack made of wire, with a few women's clothes hanging on it.

The portable screen and the black and white PS5 lying on the ground next to him were things Sett had just bought yesterday.

And in front of the full-length mirror on the right-hand side of the entrance.

My older sister, Nishimiya Yuka, was standing there admiring herself. She was wearing a short-sleeved kimono, which was dyed tea-white and decorated with auspicious cloud patterns. The wide obi could not hide her slender waist, which suddenly bulged upwards. Under the heavy lining, her full breasts remained upright.

The elaborate kimono only accentuated her delicate and sculpted mixed-race features, making her even more graceful and beautiful.

Beside her, her mother, Akemi Nishimiya, was carefully helping her daughter adjust her sash. She was also wearing a kimono with a pink tomesode color scheme that transitioned into a light brown, adding to Akemi Nishimiya's gentle and elegant demeanor. She was both radiant and graceful, as well as delicate and serene.

After discovering that Sett had returned.

Nishimiya Yuka spun around in place, her graceful figure and fluttering sleeves like dancing snowflakes. Once she was steady, she smiled charmingly, her peach-blossom eyes sparkling, and asked:

"Ti-chan, isn't your sister pretty?"

Sett couldn't help but stare at it a few more times.

But he still answered, "So-so."

Then he spat out: "Narcissist!"

"Heh heh! You stinky Sett who doesn't know how to appreciate things!" Nishimiya Yuka was already used to it, sticking out her pink little tongue and retorting, but she wasn't really angry.

At this moment, Sett glanced at the mother and daughter's kimonos again and asked:

"Why are you suddenly wearing a kimono? Is today some special holiday?"

"Eh...you didn't know? Ti-chan, have you been a bit absent-minded lately?" Nishimiya Yuka exclaimed in surprise.

Sett rolled her eyes at her and looked at her mother.

Ignoring her bizarre ideas, my usually mature and stable mother explained, "Today is Saturday, May 21st, and the third full weekend of May every year is the day of the Sanja Festival."

"The procession and parade have ended. Tomorrow is the last day, and there will be a fireworks display then."

To participate in a fireworks festival, one naturally needs to wear a beautiful and elegant kimono. Of course, if you want to be more casual or have limited resources, you can also choose a yukata.

However, the kimonos worn by the mother and daughter are among the few that have been preserved, and they are old items from before they incurred debts.

It's a rare opportunity to wear this out, so of course I was really looking forward to it, and I spent the whole night trying it on beforehand.

After all, loving beauty is a woman's nature.

Sett had been spending the last few days at the boxing club and had gone through so much, so he really hadn't noticed that the Three Societies Festival was being held. He scratched his head and said, "I really forgot."

"That won't do!" Nishimiya Yuka took two steps forward and took Sett's arm, which felt soft and bouncy.

Just like when she was strolling through the memorial, she said, "I'm still waiting for you, Ti-chan, to help me catch the goldfish."

"Goldfish scooping is a game only played at summer festivals..." Sett mercilessly pointed out his older sister's mistake.

"Oh dear, they're all the same!" Nishimiya Yuka blinked her peach blossom eyes, trying to get away with being cute.

Sett was silent for a moment, then withdrew his arm and said:

"I think I won't go tomorrow."

"Huh? Why?"

Akemi Nishimiya and Yuka Nishimiya asked in unison.

Yuuka Nishimiya, whose expressions are usually quite varied, didn't say much. This time, even her naturally ditzy mother looked at Sett with surprise.

Seeing this, Sett suddenly laughed:

"Look how scared you two are! There are no questions. The fireworks festival is packed with people. It's a precious weekend, isn't it better to stay home and play video games?"

Having said that, Sett didn't linger any longer, waved his hand, and headed towards his room:

"You two keep going, I'm going back to my room first, I haven't finished my homework yet."

The mother and daughter behind them exchanged a glance and remained silent, even their kimonos seemed less attractive.

...

Go back inside the house.

Seti threw the suitcase containing 20 million yen under the bed, next to yesterday's 8 million yen.

He then took out the Diamond Sutra from his backpack.

I didn't look at it immediately.

Recalling the forlorn expressions on his mother's and sister's faces just now, Sett sighed softly.

The reason given earlier was indeed a bit far-fetched.

But you can't just tell the truth and say that some organization is trying to assassinate him for no reason, and that he's in a very tight spot right now...

Meanwhile, the countdown to Sett's five timed missions is decreasing every second.

Forget it... I don't want to think about it anymore! I'll hurry up and study the Diamond Sutra tonight. If I can learn the Golden Body technique, I'll start practicing every night... Starting tomorrow, I'll train in sprinting and gym workouts during the day, and investigate people with superpowers in my spare time... Sett's plan to become stronger is now complete.

He then sat down at his desk, cleared his mind of all distractions, and began to carefully peruse the Diamond Sutra:

"Chapter One, The Cause and Condition of the Dharma Assembly... Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti, together with a great assembly of twelve hundred and fifty monks. At that time, the World-Honored One, at mealtime, put on his robes..."

"...

"Chapter Thirty-Two: The Transformation of the Unreal... After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the elder Subhuti, along with all the monks, nuns, laymen, laywomen, and all the gods, humans, and asuras of the world, upon hearing what the Buddha said, were greatly delighted, believed and accepted it, and practiced it."

The Diamond Sutra is not long, and Seti quickly finished reading it.

Then I discovered... it's exactly the same as those cheap, hard-flash versions sold on the market!

Is the old monk trying to deceive me?

Sett recalled the old monk's exact words from inside the octagon:

"...This is a supreme Buddhist scripture. If you have the time, please read it patiently. If you are destined, you may be able to unravel the mysteries of the golden body..."

If fate allows... fate...

The word "缘" (yuan, meaning fate or destiny) is quite ingenious. In fact, everything can be explained by whether or not there is a connection. If you can see it, then there is a connection; if you can't see it, then there is no connection.

At the same time, the word "or" also implies a certain probability, meaning that by patiently reading the Diamond Sutra, there is a certain chance of deciphering the mystery of the golden body.

But... 10% is a certain probability, and 0.0001% is also a certain probability!

"Sigh... I really did think too simply. According to the little monk, those practitioners who follow the path of Buddhist Zen monks rely on decades of unwavering effort to constantly hone their physical bodies in order to achieve the Golden Body... It would be unrealistic for me to learn it just by reading it once!"

Sett took a deep breath and composed himself.

I began to lower my head and patiently reread the text.

I just opened the first page of the book.

Suddenly, a line of text appeared before his eyes:

[The following has been detected: The "Buddhist Zen Monk" path cultivation technique, the Diamond Sutra, can be learned to grant the skill "Unwavering Golden Body." Do you wish to learn it?]

Ah? ? ?

Sett's big eyes widened like dumplings.

Staring at the words in his field of vision, he was momentarily stunned.

After a long while, he silently muttered to himself, "Study."

Immediately afterwards, Sett noticed a small golden bell icon above his skill bar. Compared to Sett's four ultimate skills, it was indeed very small and inconspicuous, much like a buff in the game interface.

Sett clicked on it:
