Tokyo Wrestler

"I studied it a lot and practiced it, and then I learned how to do the Golden Body."

Huh? A golden body can be learned solely through the Diamond Sutra? The flat-chested little witch's round eyes showed a hint of surprise as she asked:

"That old monk couldn't possibly be the head monk of the inner sanctum at Senso-ji Temple, Shimizu... Shimizu..."

“Shimizu Teruhiko’s back room,” the honest Kameda Kazumitsu added.

The four abbots of Senso-ji Temple are all veteran level 7 saints. Although they do not hold positions in Tenshu, they are still quite well-known in Tenshu.

Among them, the head of the back hall, Shimizu Teru, is mainly responsible for the teaching and training of the Buddhist monks in Senso-ji Temple. Because there are not many young Buddhist monks in Senso-ji Temple, Shimizu Teru is their common master, so the flat-chested little shrine maiden was able to guess it at a glance.

“Ah, yes, that’s right.” Seti nodded; he had heard the young monk Shimizu Shirafu mention the word “back room”.

Sett acknowledged this.

The flat-chested little shrine maiden's doubts deepened. She asked, "Why doesn't Shimizu Godo take you into Senso-ji Temple? Someone like him should have that right."

That's what I was waiting for you to ask... Sett answered truthfully:

"Because he said that I was only level 2 at eighteen, too old and too low-level, and not talented enough."

"That's really..." The flat-chested little witch had only managed to say a couple of words when she suddenly looked up and asked in surprise, "Wait, what level did you say you were again?"

"Level 2."

This time, both the honest Kazumitsu Kameda and the silent Yumuri Ito looked up at Sett with shocked expressions.

The flat-chested little witch took a deep breath and glanced at the headless corpse of the level 3 ability user next to her.

"Hiss... You mean, you, a level 2 Buddhist monk who hasn't received any systematic training, were able to kill a level 3 ability user with a single blow?"

Furthermore, it was said that Sett had learned the Buddhist monks' signature skill—the Golden Body—through self-study.

After a long silence, she finally couldn't help but squeeze out a sentence:

"Shimizu's back room is so muddle-headed!!"

"If a genius like you had joined Senso-ji Temple or Tenju earlier, you would definitely be a pillar of the cultivation world!"

The honest Kazumitsu Kameda nodded in agreement quite frequently, a rare occurrence for him.

At this moment, Ito Yumuri, who had been silent and observing for a long time, finally spoke. She said to Seti:

"The way of the samurai... your attack that killed the superhuman just now was somewhat like the prototype of the way of the samurai."

Bushido? That old monk also said my deliberate punch was nothing like Bushido... Sett nodded:

"This is a technique I honed in the underground boxing ring... but what is Bushido?"

The old monk, Shimizu Teru, only explained that it was an essential item for those practicing the samurai path, but he didn't elaborate further.

As a samurai, Ito Yumuri naturally knew quite well, and she replied:

"After reaching level 3, a samurai will reach a bottleneck. To break through this bottleneck, one needs to 'cultivate the Way,' which means finding and practicing one's own unique 'Way of the Samurai.' It is both a skill and a spirit, and it varies from person to person..."

After she finished speaking, Sett noticed a hint of envy in her cool eyes. Although it was fleeting, Sett was still keenly aware of it.

She resumed her expressionless demeanor and continued to explain, "Many warriors spend their entire lives without finding the way."

Ito Yumuri finally came to her own conclusion: "You already possess the rudiments of Bushido, and you have great talent as a samurai."

I get it... They mistook the real damage from my Deliberate Punch for a special effect of the Samurai Way... Sett suddenly realized, but he didn't intend to explain anything. Their mistaking Deliberate Punch for the Samurai Way was just what he needed to avoid exposing his cheat ability.

But these words sounded completely different to the flat-chested little witch.

Sett's image has now changed from "a handsome mixed-race man who taught himself Invincibility" to "a handsome mixed-race man who taught himself Invincibility and the Way of the Warrior, and possesses the dual talents of a Buddhist monk and a warrior."

The flat-chested little witch moved closer, her eyes gleaming, and said again:

"You taught yourself Bushido and the Golden Body Technique. No wonder you were able to kill a Level 3 Ability User. You're a true genius. When you join the Heavenly Pillar and learn some techniques, you'll level up in no time!"

Having heard this, and having resolved the issues of his identity and the source of his extraordinary power, Sett asked with relief:

"However, I don't know much about the organizations in the supernatural world. I just heard you say that people with superpowers also have organizations?"

"Yes, yes." The talkative, flat-chested little witch was in high spirits upon encountering a super genius, and replied:

"We, Tianzhu, are the official organization of cultivators. We are all cultivators. From ancient times to the present, our main responsibility is to maintain the balance between the extraordinary world and the ordinary world. In other words, we are partners of justice."

"Almost all cultivators are registered at Tianzhu... Of course, there are also self-taught geniuses like you, but they are very, very rare."

"But people with superpowers are different. Because they don't rely on training, but rather on huge stimuli or near-death experiences to awaken, they are very uncontrollable. Nowadays, people with superpowers in Japan are divided into three groups."

"The first group consists of free-spirited individuals who have not joined any organization. These individuals are often unaware of the existence of the supernatural world. They suddenly gain power and will use it recklessly, posing the greatest threat to society and being the primary targets of our Tianzhu cleansing efforts."

"The second party is the ability users of the 'Monster Association.' You can think of the Monster Association as the 'official' organization for ability users. They control most of the ability users. Although they often clash with our Heavenly Pillar, they still exercise some restraint. The ability users of the Monster Association are less dangerous than free ability users."

"The third party consists of the superhumans from the 'Hero Association.' There are very few superhumans here, but each one who joins the 'Hero Association' is a unique individual. They consider themselves heroes and are allies of our Sky Pillar. They often cooperate with Sky Pillar and are among the few good people in this group of crazy superhumans."

I heard about these organizations.

Sett suddenly realized:

The skeleton-like man with kidney deficiency who assassinated him is most likely the "Monster Association," which governs most of the superhumans!

In other words, the Monster Association wants to kill him?

Or perhaps it was some superhumans in the Monster Association who wanted to kill him?

Although it's unclear why they've gotten into this feud with the Monster Association... after all this time, they've finally found a useful clue... Sett thought to himself.

"This guy is just an unorganized free agent with superpowers. Killing him would be doing a service to the people... By the way, I haven't asked yet, what are you doing here so late at night?"

The flat-chested little witch pointed to the headless corpse of a level 3 ability user next to her and asked casually.

Chapter 34 The Mad Scientist (4200 words)

"I heard some urban legends circulating at school and wanted to come and see for myself, since I don't know much about the supernatural world," Sett replied.

The flat-chested little witch tapped her head, indicating that she understood.

Anyone who gains extraordinary power will naturally have a desire to explore, which is perfectly normal.

But then she changed her mind and asked:

"You didn't fight a superhuman in an alley before, did you?"

The alley? Could it be referring to that weak-kneed skeleton man? Sett said, "Yes, that guy attacked me out of nowhere, so I just defended myself."

Upon hearing this, both the flat-chested little witch and the honest man Kameda focused their gazes on Sett's fist, their eyes revealing a hint of "I see."

"Haha, that explains everything now. We're quite destined to meet. It turns out we've run into each other before... Your fists are really powerful. You can't tell you're only level 2. Back in the alley, we thought it was some level 3 Buddhist monk who was passing by who did it," the flat-chested little witch laughed.

No... I was only level 1 back then... Sett didn't explain further.

As the young monk Shimizu Shirafu said, if you want to learn more about extraordinary knowledge, it is best to contact an official organization like "Tianzhu".

At the same time, he has already created his own image in the other person's mind.

A self-taught Buddhist practitioner with the potential to achieve a golden body and possess the rudiments of Bushido.

The old monk, Shimizu Teru, who gave him the Diamond Sutra can also serve as the strongest evidence for this image.

Once the source of the cheat ability is explained and the source of power can be kept secret, one can confidently make contact with such official organizations to extract more extraordinary information.

At this time.

Ito Yumuri suddenly turned her head, her icy eyes fixed on something not far away.

Honest Kameda glanced down at the screen and explained, "The search artifact that was requested has returned."

A short while later.

One by one, tiny metal butterflies fluttered their wings and flew over.

Honest man Kazumitsu Kameda adjusted his black-rimmed glasses, opened his palm and raised it, and strands of pale white spiritual energy flowed out like threads, guiding the metal butterfly to fly into his palm.

Then they all melted like flowing water and merged into one... In the end, nearly 20 metal butterflies turned into an iron rod with butterflies on its roots.

Honest man Kameda quickly stuffed it into his pocket and carefully zipped it up to prevent it from falling out.

"What is this?" Sett wondered.

Seeing this, the flat-chested little witch with round, darting eyes saw an opportunity to chat. Her talkative little mouth immediately opened, and she began to explain:

"This magical artifact is called 'Hundred-Path Butterfly.' It's a level 4 artifact with a searching function, and it's very rare. If it weren't for the fact that the ability user inside is so hard to find, and Captain Ito's request to Tenju, our team wouldn't have needed this at all."

Tier 4 artifacts are rare? Sett remembered the "Tier 9 artifact, the Madman's Old Legacy" in his inventory; this could be considered a divine artifact...

So Se asked, "I'm still not quite sure what a spirit artifact is?"

"Hey! Look, I forgot again!" The flat-chested little witch patted her head and explained, "Spiritual artifacts are weapons that refine for us cultivators by master craftsmen, and only cultivators can use them."

After saying that, she pointed her little finger at the honest man, Kameda, next to her and said:

"He's a level 3 refiner, capable of crafting level 3 spiritual artifacts."

At the same time, she raised her arm, rolled up the wide sleeves of her shrine maiden outfit, revealing her porcelain-white wrist with a crystal bracelet that looked like cheap plastic.

But the flat-chested little witch boasted:

"This is the level 2 spiritual artifact that Kameda made for me. I named it the 'Energy Bracelet.' As long as I activate it with spiritual power, I can become infinitely energetic and no longer tired for five minutes!"

Then, her face darkened slightly as she said, "It's a pity that every magical artifact has obvious side effects... For example, my Energy Bracelet makes me unable to speak for five hours after use, which is very annoying."

Being unable to speak for five hours was a form of torture for her, who is a chatterbox.
