You say this is a love game?

“He’s quite handsome.”

Mizutani Makoto expressed great satisfaction with this fire thunder form.

Where the lightning dissipates, it will leave behind a scorching high temperature, with a hot, manic breath that seems to burn everything.

Compared to the "splitting" that the mine-dismissal skill excels at, the fire thunder is undoubtedly more violent in combat. Although it lacks a bit of sharpness, it gains the special attack of the dual attributes of thunder and fire. This unique secret skill can definitely give the evil spirits a big surprise!

boom! !

The large sword in Mizutani Makoto's hand was burning with blazing lightning. With one slash of the sword, the scorching heat swept across and actually cut the trunk of the wood spirit in half!

The wood ghost wailed, and on the broken surface of its trunk were still scorch marks left by the high temperature burning.

Although it has the dual attributes of thunder and fire, even if we only talk about the fire damage, the flames attached to this fire thunder are not inferior to the "Scorched Earth Explosion" combat skill of the [Liaoyuan Katana], not to mention the addition of thunder and lightning damage... This form is simply ferocious to the extreme.

"Moreover, the changes in the form of this fire thunder are all-round."

Yatagarasu.

The three fiery thunder birds, with their scorching yellow light, are like messengers of the sun.

Thunder Prison, Eight Thunder Gods and One Sword... These two explosive skills are the last resort. The thunder output is all converted into fire thunder, which has a more powerful explosive damage than the mine removal period.

"The only regret is that I couldn't fuse the two eight-colored thunders together."

Mizutani Makoto began to think.

If the power of fire thunder and thunder-dispelling could be used to drive the Eight Thunder Gods' One Sword at the same time, I can't imagine how devastating the damage would be.

Chidori quickly gave the answer.

"To fuse the eight-colored thunder, we need to find thunder that harmonizes its properties."

In other words, other thunder and lightning are needed.

The way forward would definitely be to continue collecting the other eight-colored thunders and piece together the complete thunder properties.

Mizutani Makoto has now obtained two kinds of thunder, which means he has completed a quarter of the eight-colored thunder, but it still seems a bit far away. If he wants to collect the eight-colored thunder, it depends on opportunity and luck.

Soul +73

Until the last wood spirit in the back mountain area fell, Mizutani Makoto finally dispersed his spirit.

The teaching building, the gymnasium, the swimming pool, the kendo club dojo, the playground... Makoto Mizutani walked everywhere.

Even the little monk Ksitigarbha, who was originally untouchable, died tragically under the knife of the big devil after losing the protection of Tang Shizi.

The entire crevice was unprecedentedly silent.

Mizutani Makoto is the kind of person who literally kills all the cracks without leaving any chickens or dogs behind, and even has to shake the eggs evenly for him.

"call……"

There was no exciting battle segment, just someone holding two katanas and completing a complete massacre.

Soul: 21556

Not much to say.

It was the first time that Mizutani Makoto cleared the cracks thoroughly, and he found that he could squeeze out more souls at one time than he had imagined. He didn't even need to go to his backpack to squeeze souls, he could go directly to Furuya Ruriko to upgrade.

The young man bowed to the miko.

Chidori: "?"

Under the gaze of the Sword Soul Girl, someone was literally immersed in the land of tenderness, which made the thin Sword Soul Girl subconsciously glance at her own "capacity" and immediately glared at the hateful sword master in anger.

What does this useless look mean?

But the light of the soul gathered here, and Chidori's gaze gradually changed from scrutiny to surprise, and then turned into complete shock.

No, why can you upgrade like this? !

[Spiritual Power: 38→40]

Now, Mizutani Makoto has finally reached his most loyal and highest peak.

Judging from the accumulation of spiritual power alone, he has reached the end of his level.

What follows is a new pop-up prompt.

[The player's spiritual power has reached 40. Before breaking through the "merge" level, spiritual power points will become unavailable.]

[The shrine maiden Furuya Ruriko will provide you with realm-breaking services.]

[Players can consume 100000 souls and any three "strong" spirit cores to let Furuya Ruriko help you break through.]

"?"

"One hundred thousand souls?"

"Three powerful spiritual cores?"

Mizutani Makoto suddenly felt a strong sense of malice.

The weirdest thing still happened.

That hundred thousand souls, damn it, he had to ride on the fire and electrocute fish three times, and could only get a little over ten thousand souls. After working for a few hours a night, the souls he got were probably only around fifteen or sixteen thousand. How many days and nights of hard work would it take to get a hundred thousand souls?

Moreover, judging from the conditions, these 100,000 souls are just the foundation.

The conditions that follow are really difficult to deal with.

"Three powerful spiritual cores?"

"But damn, aren't there only two strong-level bosses in the entire crevice?"

You're playing a crappy game. Does that mean that even if I clear all the cracks, I still can't gather enough materials to advance to a higher level?

Mizutani Makoto felt really uncomfortable.

Which trench's planner designed this damn resource acquisition curve?

Bad review! I have to write a 20,000-word essay to give Tongzi a bad review!

Calm down for a moment.

He rubbed his temples sadly and suddenly felt really embarrassed.

A strong-level BOSS is really hard to find.

Mizutani Makoto glanced at the backpack. Chidori had only digested the fire bomb today, and Tang Shizi's spirit core was still retained... but the method of using it would definitely not change. It was difficult to find a spirit core that matched his nature. Since there was an optimal solution, it would definitely be given to Chidori.

"The implication is that I still have to find two powerful bosses."

"But the strongest boss I've ever seen in this world is the Guhuo Bird. I have no idea how to find a boss of a higher rank."

Mizutani Makoto shook his head.

Since he has reached the end of his level, all we can do is see what he is capable of.

[Shugendo God of Destiny]: 4233/5000 (Mastery)

【Mind's Eye】:112/500 (Beginner)

[Kendo Niten Ichiryu]: 4999/5000 (Mastery)

Among these abilities, the ability to summon spirits has made the fastest progress, especially his physical strength has been increased to the full value of 10. It can be said that every time he uses it, a certain number of proficiency points will be added. It is expected that after some time, he will be able to break through this magical power to the next stage.

There has been some improvement in my mind, but not much.

However, his proficiency in kendo, which he was best at, was stuck at 4999.

Mizutani Makoto practiced kendo and had some understanding of this "bottleneck period" situation... He was indeed still lacking something. He had already fully met the requirements in terms of accumulation of quantity, and all he needed was the finishing touch.

Sword Saint, Sword Master...

He was only one step away from becoming the legends of ancient times who dominated the world with their sword energy.

But how many people will be stuck at this level?

It depends on the chance, the perception, and the comprehension... Mizutani Makoto tried to take a portion of the [Boiling Blood Secret Medicine] to find the perception. Now there are only two portions of the [Boiling Blood Secret Medicine] left, but at this point, even the Boiling Blood Secret Medicine can't help him.

He's still missing something...

It was just a little bit off, and that "little bit" had stuck with countless swordsmen throughout history.

"The universe at your fingertips."

Mizutani Makoto put the thought behind him.

Now, the upper limit of his climbing is basically here.

With no other path to improvement, all he could do was move forward.

"There's no need to worry about it, Mizutani-sama."

"With your talent, you will surely be able to break through this bottleneck soon."

Furuya Ruriko smiled, and the emotional value was maximized for the young people.

Mizutani Makoto nodded.

He was teleported from the school building where Furuya Ruriko was, and the location was the atrium surrounded by teaching buildings.

"finished."

Now, Kagura Hokorin has finally completely broken the barrier.

Jingle bell~

As the last ripple spread, the roots that were originally tightly closed finally began to wriggle.

“Crack…”

The sound of roots rubbing against each other was low and heavy, and a crack quietly emerged.

The roots of the cherry tree slid to the sides, revealing a bottomless hole.

"...a hidden area."

Mizutani Makoto stretched out his hand in the air, and the hokorin, which had been ringing without wind, immediately floated back to his palm. The hokorin had been ringing for 48 hours and now it finally calmed down.

Chidori's voice rang out: "The aura down there... is very strange, as if something extraordinary is hidden there."

Mizutani Makoto nodded without saying anything more.

He put away the Kagura Hokorin and took out the candlestick.

Lightning danced on the hilt of Chidorimaru. As Mizutani Makoto's sword, Chidori's figure also emerged from the void, lighting a path for Mizutani Makoto with flashing lightning.

Mizutani Makoto took a deep breath and walked into the deep cave entrance.

The passage is not spacious, and its walls are made of interwoven tree roots, making it look like a naturally formed tunnel.

The cave was pitch black, with only the faint light from the candlesticks and the lightning emitted by the Chidori. The two intertwined, barely illuminating the road ahead.

After walking down for about a few dozen meters, the road ahead suddenly opened up.

A huge underground space appeared before him.

Countless roots hang down from the dome of this underground space.

Below, there was a pool of blood.

In the pool of blood, there were dozens of corpses that had not yet rotted. They were abandoned in the pool of blood, half of their bodies sunk, leaving only their pale faces floating on the blood.

Mizutani Makoto looked intently at the center of the blood pool. There seemed to be something there...

Just as Mizutani Makoto looked over, a prompt suddenly popped up in front of him.

Clue 7: She is a bird in a cage

Chapter 155: Mai's soul, the eyeball of the shrine maiden, the invasion of the disrespectful people of Daihozu and Hikari.

When the pop-up window of Tongzi's task appeared in front of him, Mizutani Makoto couldn't help but be stunned.

Clue seven, this is Mai Yajima’s bond mission.

He had previously speculated that there were a total of eight clues in this mission, and the 75% completion rate after finding six clues once again confirmed his idea.

But when the task reached 75%, it got completely stuck.

Mizutani Makoto had thought that he and Yajima Mai had already opened up completely to each other, so it would be easy to uncover her secrets. However, after some indirect probing, he discovered that Yajima Mai had no more secrets to share with him.

Unfortunately, he was still missing two follow-up clues and didn't know where to dig.
