The Demon King, reborn in Japan as a monk

"Yes," Takahashi nodded affirmatively.

"By the way, what's the situation on our side of reality?" The more composed Shiota Reiko asked about the matter she was concerned about.

"As we suspected, you're unconscious. So to ensure your safety, I've given you some glucose, saline solution, and vitamins. Your body should be fine for the time being, enough for us to hold out until the Olympics and complete our mission," Ishihara Akira said to Shiota Suzuko reassuringly.

"And what about me?" Saya Takahashi pressed on.

“I didn’t go to your place, but I called to inquire. They said she was taken to the hospital and is being taken care of by professional doctors, so I don’t think there will be any problems,” Ishihara Akira replied.

"That's good." Sayaka Takahashi said, relaxing.

"Speaking of the Olympics, how's your doubles practice going?" Ishihara asked curiously.

"We've been practicing since you left, and with the experience gained from tournaments, we've now entered the top three in the world in doubles. It's safe to say that if we win a few more championships, the world number one ranking will definitely be ours," said Sayaka Takahashi excitedly.

"That's good. This way, after the Olympics, we can leave this world and return to reality," Ishihara Akira said happily.

……

Afterwards, Ishihara Akira chatted with Shiota Reiko and Takahashi Sayaka for a while before leaving to meet Arakawa Nagisa, Izumi Riko, and Ishizawa Nozomi. Without any hesitation, he dragged them directly to Shiota Reiko's dormitory and started fooling around with Shiota Reiko and Takahashi Sayaka...

Oh, right, because Ishihara Sho was away for a year, the club has been managed by Shiota Reiko. So, with Arakawa Nagisa's recommendation and Tachibana Kentaro's persuasion, Shiota Reiko also signed the original heroine, Hasaki Ayano, to the club, making her a member.

For this reason, Yuzaki Chinatsu even came to the club to take a look, which can be regarded as her approval of Yuzaki Ayano's choice.

After all, compared to the coach and place she originally found for Ayano Hanesaki, the Champion Club, with world champion Akira Ishihara in charge, was no worse, and the environment was better and more suitable for Ayano Hanesaki.

Most importantly, there are enough opponents here for Ayano Hanasaki to catch up with, which will allow her to grow faster. Otherwise, given Chinatsu Hanasaki's personality, she might actually take someone away.

Ishihara Akira didn't think much of it. She was just a young girl and it wouldn't affect him, so he let her be and continued to enjoy his glamorous life.

Until the Olympics.

"Go for the championship!" Ishihara Akira, Tachibana Kentaro, Shiota Reiko, and Takahashi Sayaka stood together, hands clasped, and then pressed down together, shouting!

Chapter 280 Tianxia Group

As expected, Ishihara Yu won the men's singles title at the Olympics without any trouble, thus completing his so-called mission.

Then, in women's doubles, the match was also won thanks to the hard work of Reiko Shiota and Sayaka Takahashi.

With the three of them having completed their mission, the world's attention was now focused on them, and authority was transferred to Ishihara Akira, Shiota Reiko, and Takahashi Sayaka.

If this were an ordinary person or a native, they would naturally not have noticed any changes. However, in the hands of the demon Ishihara Sho, these things became the most powerful tools and ports for usurping control of the world. Therefore, the moment Ishihara Sho felt the authority and ports fall on him, he activated his demonic abilities and began to invade the world in reverse. He then summoned Shiota Reiko and Takahashi Sayaka to his side and used the relationship and interaction between the three of them to further break through the world's defenses and accelerate the world's corruption.

And then there's the addition of Nagisa Araragi, Riko Izumi, Nozomi Ishizawa, and Kaoru Seriya...

The world of light feathers could no longer mount any resistance and finally fell completely into the hands of Ishihara Akira before Ishihara Akira, Shiota Reiko, and Takahashi Sayaka decided to leave completely. It became the second small world to fall into his hands after the Naruto world, as one of the Yokosawa worlds.

……

After resting for a day, Ishihara Yuki immediately embarked on a new journey.

"Nanbukai University, I wonder if the plot has even started yet." Ishihara Akira stood in front of the rather unconventional gate of Nanbukai University, looking at the university environment inside, which was not much different from the real world, and muttered to himself.

However, he didn't hesitate too much. Anyway, even if it had already started, as long as it didn't reach the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, he didn't care. There was still a chance. So he started walking towards the campus.

"Stop!" He had barely taken a step when someone called out to him.

"Hey there, this is a university campus. Non-students are not allowed to come and go as they please. So, what brings you to our university?" The security guard at the school gate came out of a small building and greeted Ishihara Akira, who was looking over.

"Uh... I'm looking for someone," Ishihara Akira chuckled dryly.

Such a dedicated security guard is quite rare.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Zhang Chulan".

"Zhang Chulan?" The security guard frowned. If you were looking for a teacher or professor, he might know a thing or two, but a student? There are thousands of students on a university campus, how could he possibly remember which one is Zhang Chulan?

"Do you have a phone? If so, call. Even if you don't, just tell him your class and department and have him come out to pick you up. Otherwise, there's no reason why outsiders shouldn't be allowed to enter the campus," the security guard said to Ishihara Akira after a moment's thought.

“Okay.” Ishihara Akira nodded, but in a flash, he cast a hypnotic spell, subduing the security guard. Then, he swaggered into the Nanbukai campus and, using the same method, controlled the students, questioning them about Zhang Chulan’s whereabouts…

He refused to believe that he was so unlucky that he couldn't even run into a student who knew Zhang Chulan's whereabouts.

Fortunately, Ishihara Akira's luck wasn't so bad. After going through five or six students, he finally found one who knew Zhang Chulan and where he was. Then, led by that student, he headed towards where Zhang Chulan was...

This guy is actually at an internet cafe now! Playing games with some friends.

"That's the one smoking," the student who brought Ishihara Akira said, pointing to the ponytail-wearing boy shouting not far away.

"Thank you so much, classmate," Ishihara Akira said gratefully.

Afterwards, Ishihara Akira dismissed the others, then pretended to walk over to Zhang Chulan. He stood behind Zhang Chulan for a while, watched him play a game, then turned and left, standing behind the others.

He wasn't a novice; he hadn't forgotten that Zhang Chulan was currently surrounded by employees from Na Du Tong, with Feng Baobao monitoring him. If he rashly approached them, who knew if it would attract the attention of Feng Baobao and Xu San and Xu Si?

However, judging from the fact that Zhang Chulan can still play games with others in internet cafes, Ishihara Shou has basically confirmed the timeline of the story.

Before the story begins, he was still pretending to be an ordinary person.

As for when it will officially begin, that's beyond Ishihara Sho's prediction, but it doesn't matter. He has already left a mark on Zhang Chulan, so by observing Zhang Chulan's movements, he can naturally tell whether the story has started or not.

So after lingering in the internet cafe for a while longer, Ishihara Akira turned around and left, pondering where he would go next.

"Hmm, it seems I'll have to trouble Feng Zhenghao."

With that in mind, he actually started inquiring about the location of Tianxia Company.

There was no other way. He was penniless and didn't even have a proper identity. Although he could use hypnosis to manage his daily life, it was still too inconvenient. In addition, his purpose in coming to the Under One Person world was to master the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, or rather, the Dual-Hand Technique!

He didn't care much about the other eight extraordinary skills, but he wouldn't mind getting his hands on them if he had the chance.

After all, these are the Eight Extraordinary Skills, the very foundation of the story of Under One Person. Perhaps they contain the authority over this world. So, if the goal is to conquer this world, it would be very necessary for Ishihara Sho to acquire them all.

Apart from that, Ishihara Akira's only remaining target was Wuhou Qimen.

What? Isn't Feng Hou Qi Men one of the Eight Extraordinary Skills? Why is Wu Hou Qi Men also needed?

Yes, among the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, there is the pinnacle of Qimen Techniques, Feng Hou Qimen. But it is precisely because it is Feng Hou Qimen that Ishihara Akira is not confident in learning it! Because his desire is too strong, it is very likely that once he learns Feng Hou Qimen, he will be driven mad by it, like the old Taoist Zhou on Wudang Mountain. Therefore, before he has absolute confidence, Ishihara Akira does not plan to use Feng Hou Qimen to enter the inner realm. Instead, he wants to take the Wuhou Qimen or the ordinary Qimen path to enter the inner realm, which is directly connected to the core of the world, and complete a comprehensive conquest of the world.

Therefore, having an identity is still very necessary.

Although he had already figured out the most suitable entry point for himself, Ishihara Akira felt that taking advantage of Feng Zhenghao first was also a good option.

Fortunately, he also had information that could help him obtain an identity and money from Feng Zhenghao—information that the Wang family also possessed the extraordinary skill of binding spirits and commanding generals.

……

Half an hour later, Ishihara Akira arrived at the headquarters of the Tianxia Group. He looked up at the Tianxia Group building, which had more than thirty floors, and stepped inside.

"Hello, welcome to Tianxia Group. How can I help you?" The receptionist greeted Ishihara Akira, who was standing in front of the counter, with a smile.

Chapter 281 Information for Money and Identity

"What is your name, young friend?" Feng Zhenghao greeted Ishihara Akira, who was sitting on the guest sofa.

"Ishihara," Ishihara Akane said with a slight smile. And without leaving a trace, he disguised his own name, changing it from the original Ishihara Akane to Ishihara, which was more in line with domestic customs.

"I wonder what brings you here so suddenly, young friend Ishihara? What would you like to discuss with me?" Feng Zhenghao asked in a friendly tone, his expression unchanged and his smile still warm.

"The reason I have taken the liberty of visiting is that I would like to trouble President Feng with some matters. Of course, I am not asking President Feng for help for nothing. I will also provide some information that is very important to President Feng as a reward, according to the rules. I just don't know if President Feng is willing to do me this favor."

"Then what would you like me to do, young friend?" Feng Zhenghao asked curiously.

"Actually, it's not a big deal. I lost my ID card and need to get a new one, but I have some issues with my identity, so I can't just go directly there. Could you please ask Chairman Feng to use your connections to help me get my identity sorted out? Also, could you have someone buy me the latest smartphone and give me some cash, around 30,000 to 50,000 yen, for living expenses?" Ishihara Akira said with a somewhat embarrassed dry laugh.

“These things aren’t difficult; I could even have someone handle them for you right now. But this is our first meeting, and helping you get your ID documents involves some risk, so…”

“I understand,” Ishihara Akira said with a smile. “Does Chairman Feng know about the Wang family?”

"The Wang family? Is it the Wang family I understand?" Feng Zhenghao asked, somewhat surprised.

"That's right, it's the Wang family that currently holds the position of one of the Ten Elders," Ishihara Akira confirmed. "I just wonder if Chairman Feng knows that the Wang family also possesses the skill of Spirit Binding and Commanding?"

"What?" Upon hearing this, Feng Zhenghao's expression finally changed. He looked as if he wanted to jump up but forcibly restrained himself. He stared intently at Ishihara Shō on the sofa and asked in a deep voice.

"It seems Chairman Feng is unaware of this," Ishihara Akira said with a slight smile.

"Now I can tell you very clearly, President Feng, that the Wang family not only possesses the skill of binding spirits and commanding generals, but their method of binding spirits and commanding generals is even more sinister than the one passed down in your family. It includes a technique called 'eating spirits,' so President Feng, you should be more cautious when you plan to take action in the future, lest you regret it for the rest of your life."

"Thank you for informing me, young friend. However, your talk of action is rather presumptuous. Our Feng family has no enmity with the Wang family, so why would we target them for no reason?" Feng Zhenghao quickly composed himself and returned to his calm and collected demeanor.

"Is that so?" Ishihara Akira smiled noncommittally, but didn't say anything more. Instead, he brought the topic back to the main point: "I wonder if my news could be exchanged for Chairman Kaze's help?"

Feng Zhenghao gave him a deep look, then without saying a word, picked up the phone and made a call...

Shortly afterward, a woman dressed as a professional office lady walked in from outside.

"Chairman," the woman called out to Feng Zhenghao.

"Xiaomei, please take Mr. Ishihara downstairs to rest. We can arrange for him to stay on the VIP floor." After a pause, she said to Ishihara Akira, "Young friend, I have already had someone take care of the matter you mentioned. At most two days, I will have someone deliver the things you requested. Please rest here at Tianxia Group for a while. Is that alright?"

"Then I'll have to trouble you, President Feng," said Ishihara Akira, standing up.

"You're too kind."

Afterwards, Ishihara Akira left with his female secretary named Komei and went to the so-called VIP floor, where he sat down in one of the rooms.

"Mr. Ishihara, is there anything else you need to say?" Xiaomei asked Ishihara Akira, who had already sat down with an air of nonchalance and even found the remote control to turn on the TV and start watching.

"No more," Ishihara Akira said, shaking his head.

"Alright, then I won't disturb Mr. Ishihara's rest any longer. If you need anything later, you can call the front desk directly using the indoor phone, and someone will come to handle the matter you ask."

"Ah."

After Xiaomei left, only Ishihara Akira remained in the room.

"Sure enough, it was the right decision to ask Feng Zhenghao for a bargain. As long as the price is right, Feng Zhenghao can not only handle my needs perfectly, but also save me a lot of trouble and allow me to live a life of luxury as soon as possible." Shi Yuanzhang thought to himself as he watched the boring program on TV.

Then he closed his eyes and focused a bit of his attention on observing Zhang Chulan's situation.

Still the same, like a regular college student: playing video games, hanging out in internet cafes, chatting and joking with friends, eating barbecue, smoking and drinking. As for studying...

Anyway, Ishihara Sho never seemed to make any move to study.

About an hour later, with a knock on the door, the latest mobile phone that Ishihara Akira had requested, along with 10,000 yen in cash and a bank card, were placed in front of him.
