Of course, when Inugami is fully activated, this effect will reach its limit.

Uesugi Kiyoshi was already very satisfied.

After lighting up Inugami's five Hundred Stories cards, he now has a punching force of nearly 500 kilograms.

If Inugami is fully activated, wouldn't he have a punching force of about a ton?

Equip him with a good sword, this level of strength plus his well-researched swordsmanship, and the assistance of the Hundred Stories card.

Don’t be afraid of ghosts and gods!

Besides, this is just the effect of a dog god's demon spirit.

Even if there are not a hundred Shikigami and monsters in this scroll of one hundred demons, there can be at least dozens.

If Uesugi Kiyomi could really gather the power of hundreds of ghosts in one body, he would not be invincible, but at least he would be more than capable of protecting himself from the threat of ghosts and gods.

After about half an hour of warm-up exercises in the mirage, Uesugi Kiyoshi was basically able to control the surging power with ease. Then, he walked again to the Yingcao demon soul that looked exactly like Nohara Anko, and immersed himself in it.

In an instant, the characteristics of Yingcao emerged in his mind. There were also eight cards arranged next to the Yingcao demon soul, three of which were lit, and the rest were pitch black.

Uesugi Kiyoshi searched carefully in his memory, and soon he understood the difference between Yingcao and Inugami.

He frowned slightly. It's not that the characteristics of Yingcao were not powerful, but according to the information transmitted by the Hundred Demons Scroll, he could not use Mirage Qi to strengthen Yingcao.

He can now only use the activated Yingcao cards, but he cannot cultivate the Yingcao spirit to obtain more Baiwen cards.

Because Yingcao's demon soul has been entangled with Nohara Anzi's soul and cannot be separated, this is why Yingcao is in the image of Nohara Anzi.

To activate Yingcao's card, Nohara Anzi needs to kill the demon and absorb the mirage.

Uesugi Kiyoshi rejected this option without even thinking about it. He couldn't do such an outrageous thing as letting such a weak girl like Nohara Anko fight against ghosts and gods.

He glanced at the three activated Yingcao Hundred Stories Cards and touched his chin. He was not depressed by the news. These three Hundred Stories Cards were already Yingcao's core cards.

Yingcao's position in Baiwen Card Game is - support.

These three cards correspond to the three different "forms" of Yingcao, which combine the powerful abilities of "attack", "healing" and "endurance".

Chapter 44: The Form of Yingcao

The two words "Yingcao" mean "glowing grass" if translated literally.

Her logo is a dandelion-like plant with a bright light flashing from the flower part of the plant.

This light is the source of Yingcao's power.

As a Yokai Shikigami, Yingcao has three different "forms".

"Form" is a term in Hundred Stories. There are three types of cards in Hundred Stories: "Battle Cards", "Spell Cards" and "Form Cards".

The "Heart Slash" that Uesugi Kiyoshi once used is the "Battle Card".

To explain it in more understandable terms, combat cards are mostly physical attacks - of course, unlike ordinary attacks, combat cards generally come with various powerful effects, and their power should not be underestimated.

A spell card is equivalent to releasing a "spell".

However, form cards are somewhat different. They can change the "form" of the Shikigami, allowing it to gain additional characteristics on top of its original characteristics.

Yingcao has three different form cards, namely "Healing Light", "Light of Courage" and "Light of Requiem".

I won’t go into details about their effects in the game, but these three Hundred Stories cards are very practical in Uesugi Kiyoshi’s hands.

When used, the healing light can heal Uesugi Kiyoshi's physical injuries to a certain extent.

When the Light of Courage is used, it can increase the power of Uesugi Kiyoshi's next attack by about 30%.

When using the Light of Requiem, it can increase Uesugi Qing's "Willow Fire" upper limit a little.

Moreover, the form card is not a disposable item. Once Uesugi Kiyoshi uses the form card, the corresponding Shikigami will always be in this form, and its form ability will always be effective.

When Yingcao is in a certain form, the corresponding form effect can take effect once a day in addition to when the card is used.

As for the "wisp of the ghost", that was the "consumption" of Uesugi Kiyoshi using the Hundred News Card - this function was only completed by the Hundred Demons Scroll after he killed Yokodano and absorbed those mirages. Before that, he was exhausted after just using the "Heart Slash".

In the Hundred Demons scroll, next to other shikigami are eight Hundred Stories cards, and next to him are three faintly burning light blue will-o'-the-wisp fires.

Uesugi Kiyoshi's use of the Hundred Stories card does not come without loss. He has to consume the "Willow Fire" driving card.

Before activating Yingcao's demon soul, he had only two will-o'-the-wisp fires. After Yingcao's demon soul returned to its place, his will-o'-the-wisp fire increased by one. In other words, every time he activated the demon soul of a monster Shikigami, his upper limit of will-o'-the-wisp fires would increase by one.

When you use a card, you will consume a will-o'-the-wisp. Of course, some cards have the "instant" entry, and this kind of card will not consume the will-o'-the-wisp.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, Uesugi Kiyoshi can only use three Hundred Stories cards a day - because he has not found a way to restore the will-o'-the-wisp. This thing will only be automatically restored after midnight every day.

The speed of time flow in the mirage is different from that in the outside world. Now, one of the three will-o'-the-wisp fires next to Uesugi Kiyoshi's portrait has gone out, which represents the "Heart Slash" he used today.

Uesugi Kiyoshi stretched out his hand without hesitation, and the "soul-requiting light" beside Yingcao instantly appeared at his fingertips. He thought about it, and a blue light flashed on Nohara Anko, who represented Yingcao. She had changed her clothes. She changed from a white and green yukata to an elegant light blue yukata. At the same time, the will-o'-the-wisp beside Uesugi Kiyoshi lit up again.

Logically speaking, using the Soul-Soothing Light will consume one will-o'-the-wisp, and the effect of the Soul-Soothing Light will add another will-o'-the-wisp. The total number of will-o'-the-wisp should remain unchanged, but the number of will-o'-the-wisp that Uesugi Kiyoshi has actually increased by one.

This is the characteristic of Yingcao taking effect - all Yingcao's form cards will gain "instant cast".

Uesugi Kiyoshi can use the abilities of Shikigami through the Hundred Stories Cards, but these abilities are not his own power after all, and there are many limitations. In addition to the limitation of will-o'-the-wisp, he can only use each Hundred Stories Card once a day.

There are three types of Hundred Stories cards, which consume will-o'-the-wisp fire to gain extraordinary powers. This is the rule for using the Hundred Demons Scroll and the Hundred Stories cards, and now it has been poured into Uesugi Kiyoshi's mind.

He didn't find it complicated because in a sense, it was very similar to the card game of Hundred Stories that he played in his previous life.

After using the Soul-Soothing Light, Uesugi Kiyoshi thought for a while and felt that there was nothing left to do regarding the omissions in the Hundred Demons Scroll for the time being, so he sat cross-legged again and began to practice meditation warfare in his mind.

He benefited a lot from fighting with Yokotano today. For a swordsman, this kind of life-and-death fight is the fastest way to improve strength, nothing else.

He now replayed the battle situation in the evening in his mind, recalling it carefully, trying to find his own flaws and shortcomings. It was a bit like correcting wrong questions after finishing a test paper in his previous life. This was very helpful in improving his own strength.

At the same time, in Uesugi Kiyoshi's apartment, Nohara Anko, with a flushed face, walked out of the bathroom shyly wearing shorts and a short-sleeved shirt that were a little too big for her.

She was still wearing underwear and panties, so she couldn't be considered topless, but Uesugi Kiyoshi's clothes couldn't fit her at all, and even her two round hemispheres were exposed under her collarbone. If it weren't for the underwear covering it, it would have been considered exposure.

Nohara Anko lowered her head and secretly glanced at Uesugi Kiyoshi. When she found that Uesugi Kiyoshi was lying on his side against the wall facing her, with his eyes closed and breathing evenly, as if he had fallen asleep, she felt relieved but also a little regretful.

She was relieved because her current state was really embarrassing - she didn't care if Uesugi Kiyoshi saw her wearing such revealing clothes, but she didn't want to leave a frivolous impression on Uesugi Kiyoshi, as she was a very self-respecting girl.

If she wasn't facing Uesugi-kun, she would never have come out dressed like this.

It's a pity. Of course it's because of the little thoughts of some girls.

Nohara Anko is a girl with low self-esteem. If there is anything she can be proud of, it is her bust that stands out among her classmates.

Although it was a bit shameless to think so, she also wanted the person she liked to see her "excellent" side.

Boys should all like this, right?

Unfortunately, Uesugi Kiyoshi, who was obsessed with swordsmanship and the Hundred Demons Scroll, did not have the opportunity to see this.

Nohara Anko tiptoed to Uesugi Kiyoshi and pulled the quilt over him. She didn't dare touch Uesugi Kiyoshi for fear of waking him up.

Then she went back to the bed that Uesugi Kiyoshi had made for her and got under the quilt.

The quilt is very comfortable and warm, and seems to have a bit of Uesugi-kun's unique fresh scent.

She turned off the lights, and Uesugi Kiyoshi's profile looked calmer under the soft moonlight, exuding a more attractive charm.

As she watched, she couldn't help but become a little dazed.

After people have something, they become more greedy.

Nohara Anko felt that her current thoughts were a little greedy.

She thought that if she could see this face that she had grown attached to every day, she would have nothing else to ask for in her life.

Chapter 45 Early Morning

Uesugi Kiyoshi was awakened by the sounds of wind, thunder and rain.

After finishing his daily kendo lessons in the Mirage last night, he was so tired and exhausted that he fell asleep without realizing it and slept with his clothes on all night, which made him feel a little uncomfortable now.

He picked up the cell phone beside him and checked the time. It was five o'clock in the morning.

The sky outside the house was pitch black. Raindrops as big as beans danced in from the balcony, hit the glass of the doors and windows, and turned into streaks of water that meandered down, leaving behind strange and ever-changing patterns. The wind whistled in through the crack in the door, and the sound became sharp and piercing, like the miserable wailing of a mute person, accompanied by bursts of unreal muffled thunder coming from a distance, mixing into an extremely weird symphony.

It was raining, the wind was strong and there was spring thunder.

After clicking a few times on his phone and checking the weather forecast, Uesugi Kiyoshi frowned.

This rain will continue for several days.

It's not the rainy season yet. How can there be such sudden and long-lasting rain in spring?

Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't think about it too much. He stood up and stretched.

Hearing the steady breathing of Nohara Anko from the other side, he suddenly remembered that he was no longer living alone.

Nohara Anko was still sleeping. What she experienced yesterday was too shocking. She cried several times and was in great sorrow. She was probably very tired both physically and mentally.

The girl's sleeping face was particularly adorable. The redness and swelling in her eyes had disappeared. Her cute little face with some baby fat was facing the direction of Uesugi Kiyoshi. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, revealing an innocent smile. No one knew what she was dreaming about that made her so happy.

Looking at that flawless smile, Uesugi Kiyoshi felt a little better.

He sniffed gently, and there was a pleasant aroma in the air. He could smell that it was the scent of Nohara Anko - he had noticed it a long time ago, but he originally thought it was a woman's perfume. But Nohara Anko didn't look like someone who would wear perfume. It was a very pleasant herbal fragrance that could lift people's spirits and make people feel refreshed.

Now that I think about it, this might be the change that the Yingcao demon spirit brought to Nohara Anko. Yingcao was originally a plant monster.

Also, when they were at Yokota's house, Uesugi Kiyoshi was shocked by the high concentration of mirage and almost lost his mind. When he became violent, a cool feeling came from Nohara Anko, which made him sober instantly.

An ordinary female high school student would never have such ability.

So, Xingzi might already be considered "supernormal".

Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't stay in a daze for long. He patted his forehead with the back of his slightly cold hand to quickly wake himself up, then went to the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth.

He walked very carefully, afraid of waking up Nohara Anko. When he stepped into the bathroom, he was stunned.

He lives alone. His living habits are not sloppy, but he is not a mysophobe either. The cleanliness of his apartment is above the average for an ordinary male high school student - but that's about it.

Now he was a little unsure whether this still narrow but sparkling bathroom was his.

Did I pick up a snail girl? Hmm. In Japanese, it should be called "The Crane Returns a Gratitude"?

The floor, tiles, old washbasin, and the cracked mirror were all polished to a clean shine, spotless, as if brand new. This was probably done by Anko Nohara while taking a shower last night.

Uesugi Kiyoshi nodded secretly, confirming his previous evaluation of Nohara Anko - although she had no opinions and was quite cowardly in some things, she should be a traditional Japanese woman who is a good wife and mother.

After washing up and wiping his face, Uesugi Kiyoshi carefully found a set of spare toiletries from the cupboard that he had bought during a discount at the supermarket and placed them on the table for Nohara Anzu. Then he opened a black umbrella hanging on the clothes hanger and went out.
