Onmyoji who mingles in the world of anime

September readily complied and immediately unleashed her demonic power, causing the temperature in the entire arena to drop again, creating a very oppressive atmosphere for all the spectators.

This feeling is like someone experiencing airsickness sitting on an airplane during takeoff, feeling so oppressed they want to vomit.

"What is this? This Qi is terrifying."

"What Qi? Didn't you hear what that person just said? This is demonic power."

"I never imagined that girl possessed such terrifying demonic power? Could she really be a demon?"

"Monsters? Weren't we forbidden from having spirits after the founding of the People's Republic of China?!"

"Nonsense. If you can't become a spirit, then what about all those immortals? In my opinion, this little girl is probably an immortal too. Who knows, she might be an old monster who's hundreds or thousands of years old."

"..."

Just as the audience was discussing among themselves, Liu Kunsheng felt a tightness in his chest, his face turned ashen, and he asked, "May I ask which immortal you are? I, Liu Kunsheng, do not know any fox immortals like you."

"Immortal? Hmph, I have not become an immortal. I am just an ordinary great demon king." September sneered.

"..." Seeing September getting cocky again, Tsuchimikado Fuyu was utterly helpless. You call yourself a Great Demon King... If those former Great Demon Kings of the Immortal Realm heard this, you'd probably get a beating.

This is truly putting someone's dignity to the ground.

Liu Kunsheng didn't quite understand what Jiu Yue was saying, but her demonic power was indeed far more terrifying than his own. In particular, he hadn't sensed that she was appearing in her upper body form, which meant that Jiu Yue was appearing in her true form.

This discovery is extraordinary, because among the immortals it knows, it has never heard of anyone who has been able to cultivate into a human.

This isn't just refining Qi, it's practically cultivating immortality!

Despite being called immortals, they are merely cultivating according to their instincts, gathering the essence of the sun and moon and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. They have no systematic approach or lineage, and even their methods of using demonic power are simply techniques for receiving and applying Qi.

Therefore, although he felt he could beat September, he still decisively made Deng Youfu admit defeat.

Forget it, the competition isn't that important. Winning won't do me any good. I might as well admit defeat and maybe even make a good connection, which could lead to a chance to explore cultivation in the future.

Deng Youfu naturally listened to Liu Kunsheng, and since the opponent was also a spirit, a fox spirit with ties to their Ma family, there was nothing wrong with admitting defeat.

(The Ma family here refers to the shamanic families of Northeast China, often shortened to Ma family, and the Deng family is a part of them.)

So, in September, she won the match again, completely bewildered, and advanced to the round of 16.

Next up was the match between Tsuchimikado Fuyu and Himezuki.

This time, Tsuchimikado Fuyu's prediction was correct. His battle with Kijinka could only be described as swift. He simply summoned all the available shikigami and then had Ootengu unleash a powerful move, "Feather Blade Storm," after which the opponent decisively admitted defeat.

Ji Yue's battle with Feng Xing Tong did not last long, and she was victorious.

Even when Feng Xingtong summoned a spirit to possess him, he was still no match for Ji Yue. Although his combat abilities were not bad, they were still far inferior to Ji Yue's.

In addition, while his spirit-binding ability does have some restraining effect on shikigami, it is not a complete restraint. It is completely useless against shikigami with physical forms or tsukumogami that cannot take form.

However, Himezuki is not the kind of Onmyoji who is good at controlling shikigami. Apart from the bed warmer maid Yume-rin who stayed in Japan, she only has two shikigami.

One is in my hand, and the other is used to replenish spiritual power. Both are tsukumogami, and they cannot take human form like Xiaoyi. The ability to bind spirits and command generals is completely useless against them.

Chapter 961 The Sweet-Talking Hinata

The round of 32 to 16 ended quickly, all within the morning, and most of the winners were not too exhausted. Therefore, after communicating with the contestants, the Celestial Master's Mansion decided to start the round of 16 to 8 in the afternoon.

After lunch, everyone rested for a while before the round of 16 to 8 began.

This time, there's no need for a draw, because the competition schedule was determined by those so-called "Ten Elders" through a draw, and the subsequent matches will be automatically matched according to the duel schedule.

As for whether there's any shady dealings involved, that's a matter of opinion.

In any case, for Zhang Chulan, the next few matches will all be tough battles, and no matter who wins, those opponents will not be easy to deal with.

However, it didn't matter to Tsuchimikado Fuyu and his team who their opponent was, since they weren't aiming for the championship anyway, and they had no interest in things like the Celestial Master's succession or the Tongtian Talisman.

No, to be precise, Tsuchimikado Fuyu and Himezuki were somewhat interested in the Tongtianlu, but not too much; they were okay with it, but not really interested.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu quickly saw his and his two companions' names on the match list!

His opponent is Lu Linglong. If he wins, he will face Wang Bing or his opponent in the next round. However, Tsuchimikado Tou thinks that Wang Bing is the most likely to win.

September's opponent was Feng Shayan, but Feng Shayan was too weak to play in the next round, so she automatically advanced. It has to be said that September was really lucky.

Of course, her good luck ended in the next round, because her opponent was either Feng Baobao or Xiao Xiao.

Ji Yue's situation was similar. Her opponent in this round was a man named Liao Fan, who wasn't very strong and was basically a luck-based player, just like Jiu Yue.

However, Ji Yue's opponent after advancing will be troublesome, because it will be Zhang Lingyu. As for Zhang Lingyu's opponent in this round, he definitely cannot beat him.

To be precise, Zhang Lingyu is really strong among the younger generation; there are very few who can defeat him.

……

The competition began quickly. The young Taoist priest shouted from the high platform, "Contestants whose names are called, please enter the arena immediately. Zhang Chulan vs. Tang Wenlong, Feng Baobao vs. Xiao Xiao, Tsuchimikado Fuyu vs. Lu Linglong, and Jiuyue vs. Feng Shayan."

"They called me, I'm leaving now," Tsuchimikado Fuyu said with a smile to Kuroneko and the others.

"Go, Fuyu-kun, we'll cheer you on," Fujiwara Chika said with a smile, patting Tsuchimikado Fuyu on the back.

"Keep it up, senior."

"Go Dong Ge!"

"Yes, I will," Tsuchimikado Fuyu said with a smile.

"I'm leaving too, I'll be right there," September said, waving to everyone.

Although Feng Shayan couldn't come to this round of the competition, her opponent hadn't forfeited yet, so the process still had to go through, and she still had to make an appearance.

After Tsuchimikado Fuyu and the other girl went to their respective arenas, Kuroneko and the others followed them to the stands at Tsuchimikado Fuyu's arena.

"Is this Winter's opponent? She looks quite pretty!" Raphiel said with a smile.

"Laphie, what mischief are you up to now?" the crab said warily.

"Oh dear, I'm an angel, how could I do anything bad!" Raphiel said with a smile.

"..." Everyone looked at Raphiel with disdain. Heh, now you know you're an angel? Why didn't you remember you were an angel when you were tricking people?

"Hmph, so what if she has pink hair! Me too, Fuyu-kun won't be interested in her," Fujiwara Chika said confidently.

"Speaking of hair color, Fuyu-kun probably prefers silver. Look at me, September, Crab King, Kei, and Sagiri, we all have silver hair."

"I... Raphiel-senpai, please don't joke around. I'm not your girlfriend." Shirogane Kei quickly denied, blushing.

But deep down she was happy. So her senior liked silver hair? It seems like she had a great chance.

Meanwhile, Sagiri was already lost in her own embarrassing fantasies and was powerless to refute them. However, seeing her shy appearance, the lady could only sigh and rub her forehead in exasperation.

Xiaodong, you are such a sinful man!

"..."

On the other side, Lu Linglong's great-grandfather, Lu Jin, also came to the stands. Although he was also very curious about Feng Baobao's competition, his great-granddaughter was more important to him.

Most importantly, he was also very curious about Tsuchimikado Fuyu.

He had met and dealt with Japanese Onmyoji, but he had never heard of any Onmyoji who could summon so many Shikigami at once.

According to those Onmyoji, each shikigami needs to provide spiritual power, which is what they call Qi, to be summoned. Generally speaking, summoning three or four shikigami at the same time is already difficult enough. Summoning a dozen or twenty at once would drain them dry.

Just like them, if they unleash a few powerful moves in a battle, their Qi will be almost depleted. If they unleash more than twenty powerful moves at once and have to maintain those moves, who can stand that?

……

On the field, Lu Linglong looked at Tsuchimikado Fuyu, clasped her hands in greeting, and said, "Hello, you must be an international friend from Japan. My name is Lu Linglong. Please take care of me."

"Hello, I'm Tsuchimikado Fuyu, you can also call me Wang Dong..." Tsuchimikado Fuyu said with a smile.

"Linglong, Linglong, Linglong, you're the best, Linglong, you're the strongest, I love you, Lu Linglong!" Before Tsuchimikado Fuyu could finish speaking, a fat man wrapped in gauze and two or three others shouted from the edge of the stands.

"Um... Miss Lu, it seems you're quite popular."

Tsuchimikado Fuyu glanced at the group of guys who were enthusiastically supporting her. Even though they were covered in bruises, they still came to cheer her on. These were definitely die-hard fans. Anyone who didn't know better would think she was an idol from somewhere.

Unfortunately, the other party was just a sycophant.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Wang, I really didn't hire these guys, it has nothing to do with me," Lu Linglong quickly explained.

"Mr. Wang, please... I'm only 15 years old. Just call me Wang Dong." Tsuchimikado Tou scratched his head and said, "Alright, let's begin then."

He really felt a little uncomfortable being addressed as "sir".

"Okay!" As soon as Lu Linglong finished speaking, a group of girls' voices rang out from the audience.

"Go, Dong-kun!"

“Darling, we can’t afford to lose, and we certainly can’t afford to lose in battle!” These were Raphiel’s words.

"Honey, come on, beat that pink-haired one! Our white-haired one is the one you like best." These were the words of the male crab.

"Brother Dong, good luck! But don't go too hard, or you'll hurt this pretty lady!"

Everyone immediately turned to look at Hyuga. Good heavens, we have a traitor among us.

"Master Wang... Fellow Daoist Wang, what are these?" Lu Linglong was a little embarrassed by Hyuga's sudden praise, so she asked curiously.

“These are my friends, don’t worry about them,” Tsuchimikado Fuyu said with a smile.

Chapter 962 Battle with Lu Linglong (Part 1)

"Then, Fellow Daoist Wang, please give me your guidance." After Lu Linglong finished speaking, she quickly rushed towards Tsuchimikado.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu reacted quickly, throwing out several talismans, from which several chains of spiritual energy shot towards Lu Linglong, "Word Spirit - Bind".

Lu Linglong quickly dodged while continuing to close in, shouting, "Watch out!"

“I should be the one saying that to you.” As soon as Tsuchimikado Fuyu finished speaking, just as Lu Linglong was about to hit Tsuchimikado Fuyu, countless chains shot out from beneath her, “Word Spirit - Binding - Ten Thousand Snakes Formation”.

Lu Linglong was unable to dodge in time and was quickly bound by chains. Tsuchimikado Tou didn't waste any words with her, but took the opportunity to quickly dodge backward while forming a hand seal and saying, "Word Spirit - First Form!"

After all, although this move increased the number of his spiritual energy chains several times over, it also weakened their quality considerably. With Lu Linglong's strength, she could break free very quickly.

However, using "Word of Power: First Form" on this basis is different. Although the attack power of Word of Power: Binding is not very strong, it can still cause some damage.

Lu Linglong sensed something was wrong at that moment. After quickly breaking free of some of the chains, she hurriedly mobilized her Qi to protect her body.

Suddenly, a violent explosion occurred in the arena. Soon after, the smoke dissipated, and Lu Linglong appeared before everyone, almost unharmed.

"I thought I could still cause you some harm, but it seems I underestimated everyone," Tsuchimikado Fuyu said, scratching his head.

The original novel didn't mention that Lu Linglong was a cultivator or anything, but since she was knocked unconscious by Zhang Lingyu's lightning strike, she probably wasn't very strong.
