Tokyo Wrestler

[Gain 40% damage immunity for 3 minutes upon activation. Cooldown: 5 hours (Level 2)]

Five hours of charging, three minutes of real manhood?

However, this direct 40% damage immunity is a bit exaggerated. If we convert it according to the data, wouldn't it mean that if I take 100 points of damage after activating it, I will directly immunity to 40 points?

Now, 1000 health points can be used as 1400!

Uh...it doesn't seem to work that way...Sett, the academic underachiever, tried to do some mental calculations and almost overloaded his brain. He immediately decided to stop and experience the "unyielding invincibility" first.

urn

Just like the bell that had been ringing in the octagonal cage for the little monk Shimizu Shirafu earlier, a light golden illusory bell appeared around Seti.

Sett looked down.

He could see streaks of gold paint flowing across his skin, and his already angular muscles appeared even harder, just by looking at them.

It's exactly the same as the Level 2 Golden Body Technique performed by the young monk Shimizu Shirofu, which he had practiced diligently for many years!

"I... I actually learned the Buddhist golden body technique after just one reading of the Diamond Sutra?!"

The unexpected surprise made Sett exclaim again:

"Having a cheat code is so awesome!"

Once the "Unwavering Invulnerability" effect ends, the small golden bell icon on the skill bar will turn grayish-white, indicating that the five-hour cooldown period has begun.

"However, this five-hour cooldown is indeed a bit long... but for a battle, three minutes of real man time is enough to make do," Sett thought.

Hmm... if you deduct a little more.

At the same time, Sett discovered...

Next to the description of his Steadfast Invulnerability skill, there is also a "Level 2".

Does this also mean that as he levels up, these non-Sett skills that rely on self-learning can also be improved simultaneously?

In that case, there's nothing to panic about the long cooldown time.

And... what if we learned a few more skills?

I learned how to achieve the golden body of a Buddhist Zen master after only reading the Diamond Sutra once, although the effect was slightly less than the original.

As for cultivators, there are other cultivation paths such as "samurai", "onmyoji", and "shrine maiden"!

These paths of spiritual practice certainly have their own methods.

At the same time, Buddhist scriptures are not limited to the Diamond Sutra. There are also many others, such as the Heart Sutra, the Infinite Life Sutra, and the Brahma Net Sutra.

At this thought, Sett's eyes suddenly lit up.

Besides the path of gaining experience and leveling up to become stronger by completing tasks, he saw another path!

...

In front of Nishimiya Yuka's bedroom door.

Sett emerged from his room, tapped the wooden door lightly with his middle finger again, and said with a smile:

"Suddenly I feel that since it only happens once a year, if we don't go to see the Sanja Festival, something will be missing."

The Sanja Matsuri, a grand annual event held at Senso-ji Temple, features vendors selling various Buddhist trinkets and a fireworks display on its final day.

Sett, who learned the Golden Body technique in one night thanks to his cheat code, unexpectedly found himself with free time in the evening, which was part of his planned schedule.

On the other hand, he also wanted to take the opportunity to visit Senso-ji Temple.

If you happen to come across some Buddhist practice and learn a new skill, that would be a huge win!

The mother and daughter in the inner room heard that Seti was going to accompany them to the Sansha Festival fireworks display.

Among them, Nishimiya Yuka, who had previously shown little interest in trying on kimonos, suddenly became alluring, her eyes sparkling like a deer.

But her words weren't entirely honest; she rushed forward and punched Sett with her small fist, retorting:

"Hmph, didn't you say you weren't going?"

Sett didn't hesitate to retaliate with a flick on the forehead: "Can't I just suddenly want to go?"

Nishimiya Yuka covered her head and wrinkled her nose, glaring fiercely at Sett, and said, "No way! I didn't want you to go in the first place..."

But at this moment...

Akemi Nishimiya, however, took out a patterned haori from the bed behind her, ruthlessly exposing Yuuka Nishimiya's tsundere attitude, and said expectantly:

"Xiao Ti, come and try on the new haori that Yuka picked out for you. You'll definitely look really cool wearing it to the fireworks festival."

"Oh, so this is what you meant by not wanting me to go?" Sett seized the opportunity to kick me while I was down.

...Survivor Nishimiya Yuka, speechless with embarrassment, could only stomp her feet in shame and pout, complaining:

"Mom~~~"

Chapter 29 I, Niu Shanhai, don't know what tiredness is.

The next morning.

Sett boarded the tram after a week's absence.

Perhaps it's because today is the last day of the Sanja Festival, the day when the three shrine maidens of Asakusa Shrine make their rounds and enter and leave the shrine.

So there weren't many people on the tram.

It's estimated that everyone who could take leave went to dress up in retro Edo-era clothing and parade through the streets of Tokyo with the memorial procession.

The origins of the Sanja Matsuri (Three Shrines Festival) are closely related to the origins of Senso-ji Temple.

Around 1300 years ago, two fishermen, Hinomata Hamashige and Hinomata Takeshige, caught a statue while fishing in the Miyato River. They gave it to the headman, Hajime Manakachi, who identified it as a statue of Kannon Bodhisattva and enshrined it. Thus, Senso-ji Temple was born.

Later, the three brothers, Hajime Shinakachi and Hisamoto, were revered as "Sansha Gongen," the incarnations of bodhisattvas, and were worshipped, thus giving rise to Asakusa Shrine.

The Sanja Matsuri is a festival commemorating these three individuals. It has been held annually since 1312 on the third Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of May, usually starting around May 17th or 18th. It is one of the three major festivals of Edo.

"I wonder what the true origin of the extraordinary world is like..." Sett thought to himself.

After all, for such a large temple as Senso-ji, the widely circulated origin story is that it was just two fishermen who found a statue... which is really too shabby and too fake.

The Sanja Festival originally involved carrying a sacred palanquin on a boat and circling the river, a practice known as "boat crossing."

Now it has been changed to a street parade, which will last for four days, starting from the ritual of transferring the spirits of the gods to the palanquin at Asakusa Shrine at 19:00 the day before yesterday.

The first day features a grand parade, accompanied by woven wood dances and teko dances performed at Asakusa Shrine and Kagura-den, followed by rituals in which deities from various towns and villages transfer their palanquins.

The second day is the day of the grand festival, with ritual dances and shrine maiden dances performed in the Kagura-den. The third day, which is today, is the day of departure from the shrine. From 19:00 PM to 21:00 PM, the portable shrine of Asakusa Shrine will enter the shrine.

It is also a fireworks festival that Tokyoites have been looking forward to for a long time.

Around Senso-ji Temple, various vendors would set up temple fair games and sell Buddhist-related items. Seti planned to accompany his mother and sister to browse around during this time, hoping to find some other Buddhist scriptures to read and try his luck.

But that's something to do tonight.

During the day, Sett's primary goal is, of course, to go to school.

I got off the tram.

Sett didn't walk far before arriving at the entrance of Ouran High School.

With Sundays and the Sanja Festival, the number of students at the school is now so small that it can almost be ignored.

Sett walked through the cherry blossom trees at the school gate, around the teaching building, and arrived at the track and field behind it.

To the right is a towering stadium, where the boxing club and his beloved corner punching bag are located.

Sett simply bypassed it.

We arrived at the 100-meter starting line of the track and field stadium.

He stood with his arms crossed, patiently watching the track and field team train in front of him.

In order to complete the second task:

[Running the 100 meters in under 10 seconds without any special abilities will earn you 400 experience points.]

He's here to learn sprinting techniques!

Last night, by checking Yahoo! Bilibili entries and watching related videos, Sett gained some understanding of the 100-meter sprint.

It is understood that this is a short-distance track and field event, and starting blocks must be used for the start.

For ordinary people without training, the 100-meter time is generally between 13 and 17 seconds. To run it in under 13 seconds is already considered exceptional talent, and any improvement of even 0.1 seconds requires tremendous effort.

The current Tokyo high school track and field league sprint champion's best time is 10.91 seconds, while Japan's sprint champion is Ryota Yamagata, who won the race in 2021 with a time of 9.95 seconds thanks to a strong tailwind of 2 meters per second.

In other words.

Sett had underestimated the challenge of running the 100 meters in under 10 seconds without any special abilities.

The 100-meter sprint is not only a test of physical fitness, but also a comprehensive sport that tests explosive power, muscular endurance, natural skills, cardiopulmonary function, and more.

Sett wasn't too worried about his physical condition, after all, he possessed the heart of a half-beast, and he could just continue training relentlessly.

As for techniques...

Sett was completely bewildered even after watching the tutorial videos.

That's why I decided to visit the middle school track and field club to do some on-site research and learn from them secretly.
