Heaven has bound me to weakness? I angrily unleash the Eight Gates!

The mandrill king's eyes cleared as it realized its body was gradually disappearing; it was dead.

With its last glance, it looked at the man who killed it. His eyes were neither sad nor happy, and did not change because of killing it, as if he had just casually crushed an ant.

He's the one who should be feared!

"Uncle, it...is dead?"

Tian Tian peeked out and saw the mountain demon king, whose body had been half-blown apart by a single blow and was disappearing, and subconsciously swallowed hard.

This man is so cruel...

Shaking off the bloodstains left by You Yun, the Zen monk shrugged nonchalantly, "What else?"

They're practically face-to-face, why keep them alive if you're not going to kill them?

Do you expect me to just stand there and let them choke me?

That's too embarrassing.

"Hey! You bastard!?"

Xia Youjie looked somewhat displeased. It was too much to just steal his prey like that!

He was just thanking the other party.

"Oh, sorry, Xia You, I forgot you could absorb this guy. I didn't expect him to be so fragile."

Zen-in Jinsuke, who was talking to Xia Youjie, suddenly changed his expression.

The scriptures inside my body began to vibrate.

A powerful suction force silently drew the energy generated by the disappearance of the Mountain Demon King into the scripture.

Immediately, a thick stream of heat surged from the scripture and flowed into the acupoint of the fifth gate of the Eight Gates of Dunjia in the body.

He felt his body had become even stronger.

The scriptures show that "1% of the door is closed" has become "4% of the door is closed"!

Zen-in-shiki's cheek twitched slightly.

No?! Why didn't you say this feature existed earlier?!

Chapter 20 mission complete, red envelopes sent.

The sudden new feature caught Zenji Jinsuke off guard.

So killing cursed spirits can also accelerate cultivation progress?

What about all his hard work and training over the years?

Is he capable of enduring hardship?

Killing a near-Special Grade Cursed Spirit is equivalent to several weeks of his hard-earned cultivation.

If he had known this would happen, why would he have bothered training at all? He could have just gone and killed some cursed spirits; the world of sorcery has no shortage of them anyway.

"It seems we need to change our plans."

This function of the scriptures was indeed somewhat unexpected, but it's not too late to know it now.

He had originally planned to wait until Hui entered the High School of Spellcasting before considering occasionally teaching there, but now it seems he'll have to keep in touch with the school more often.

By constantly monitoring information about powerful spirits, one can accelerate their cultivation progress.

"An apology probably isn't enough."

Xia Youjie suddenly spoke, interrupting Zenji Jinsuke's thoughts.

Looking up at Xia Youjie, Zenji Jinsuke's eyes lit up. "Hiss—this guy has a lot of cursed spirits, doesn't he?"

Should we...?

Zenji Jinsuke's gaze toward Xia Youjie changed slightly, revealing a hint of greed.

For some reason, Xia Youjie suddenly felt a chill down his spine when he met Zenji Jinsuke's gaze.

What kind of look is that? It's like he's eyeing prey. Maybe it's just his imagination.

"By the way, you're not a mage either, are you?"

Xia Youjie put aside his thoughts and looked at Zenji Jinjie, his gaze slightly narrowed.

For the greater good, he was determined to kill all non-magicians in the world, including his own parents.

And the man before them was also not a sorcerer...

"Of course, I'm not only a non-magician, but I'm also a non-magician without any spell power. Kid, I'm also your target for elimination~"

"Should we... kill me here?"

Zen-in-sensei was inexplicably excited, looking at Xia Youjie as if he were looking at a delicious cake.

The other side must have quite a few high-level cursed spirits, right?

If he kills them, will these cursed spirits lose control? That way, he can test out the new function of this cheat system.

"Xia You! Are you going to attack us?!"

Seeing Xia You's increasingly dangerous gaze, Tian Tian immediately stood up and shouted.

She genuinely didn't want her friend to go astray.

Upon hearing this, Xia Youjie's expression changed, and he reverted to his nonchalant attitude, his eyes previously gleaming with a dangerous light.

"Just kidding, why would I attack you? I just hate non-magician monkeys."

Xia You waved his hand, turned around and left without choosing to fight Zenji Jinsuke.

Although the other party is not a mage, they seem different from ordinary non-magicians, don't they?

Furthermore, the other party did not affect his plans, and he was not entirely confident of defeating them.

As Xia Youjie gradually disappeared into the darkness, Tian Tian still wanted to stop him, but the other party had already made up his mind to embark on a lonely path.

"Oh, what a pity."

Zenji felt a bit bored. Looking at the dozens of weak cursed spirits around him who were at a loss and dared not leave, he gripped Youyun tightly and swung it sharply.

The stick whistled through the air, creating a violent sonic boom, and the powerful impact shattered the entire patch of ground in front of it.

These dozens of level two to four cursed spirits were pulverized by You Yun's attack.

The walk was painless.

However, this time, the scriptures inside the body remained as still as death, without making the slightest movement.

It seemed as if they looked down on these little karami.

"So there are level requirements too?"

Zen-in-san muttered to himself, "I thought it could absorb all cursed spirits, but it seems it can only absorb those at least at the quasi-special level."

So, there aren't many targets I can kill; I still need to train harder...

"Uncle, is it really that serious?"

Seeing so many cursed spirits being instantly killed in one move, I actually felt a little sorry for these guys.

Nanami, standing to the side, was stunned by Zenin Jinsuke's strength and was somewhat dumbfounded.

No wonder they were chosen as their team leaders; there's definitely a reason for it.

Zen-in Shinsuke glanced at the sky, "Shouldn't I kill you and take you back to raise you?"

"......" Riko Tenchi.

That's not what she meant at all; she was just thinking that it would be good for them to practice with so many skills.

He said he wouldn't help them, but this uncle is just saying one thing and meaning another.

After resolving the incident, Zenji Jinsuke returned home and handed over the task to Tenten and Nanami.

Not long after, he received a substantial commission in his account.

This trip was worthwhile.

Not only did I discover the new features of the cheat code, but I also made money. Suddenly, I realized that a college diploma is actually quite useful.

Before long, the hot summer quietly passed.

People on the street were wearing thick cotton-padded coats.

Inside the courtyard, Zen-in Jinsuke, who still maintained his exercise routine, became a steam generator.

In the midst of a heavy snowfall, he stood shirtless, his muscles contracting explosively, his entire body radiating heat and steam, like a furnace, as if he were about to ascend to immortality.

"It's so warm and cozy to be around my cousin."

Zenji Zhenyi was wearing a thick cotton-padded coat and a scarf around her neck. Her little face was red from the cold, and she looked a bit chubby and bulky.

She was standing next to Zenji Jinsuke, feeling the heat emanating from his body, which was even more effective than air conditioning.

In contrast, Maki, dressed in thin, loose clothing, seemed to be working exceptionally hard as she waved a stick in the snow from a distance.

"..."

Seeing the look of enjoyment on Mayi's face, Zenji Shinsuke reached out and pinched her red cheek hard.

I couldn't help but sigh; these two sisters were truly two extremes.

One is timid, the other is bold.

One is incredibly lazy, while the other dares to challenge fate.

Of course, even the timid ones are starting to become bolder.

"Waaah... Cousin, you pinched me too hard."

Zhenyi glared angrily at Zenji Jinsuke, her big, bright eyes brimming with tears, as if tiny pearls were about to fall at any moment.

Seeing this, Zenji Jinsuke ignored it, went inside, took out two red envelopes, squatted down and handed them to Shin'i.

"Here you go, one for each of you sisters. Don't come here tomorrow, I have to go out for a bit."

As he spoke, he exhaled white mist, and it was time for the New Year again.

Based on his ingrained genes, he prepared red envelopes for the two sisters.

It wasn't much, but it conveyed the meaning.

"Wow! It's a red envelope! Cousin, you're the best to us!"

Just moments ago, Zhenyi was brimming with tears, but her expression immediately changed. She accepted the red envelope and spoke as sweetly as if she had honey on her lips.

"mua~"

She gave Zenji Jinsuke a quick kiss on the cheek and then ran off to the other side where Maki was exercising.

"Sister, look! Our cousin gave us red envelopes!"

“This girl…” Zenji Jinsuke smiled helplessly; she was becoming more and more unruly.

Maki stopped swinging the stick, looked at the happy Mai, took the red envelope from her hand, and then looked at Zenji Jinsuke, "Thank you, Master!"

"I've already told you, you're not qualified to be my apprentice yet."

Zenin Shinsuke was equally helpless regarding Maki.

At least Maya knows how to act cute, so she's a normal girl. But Maki is a bit stubborn; once she's made up her mind about something, she's as obstinate as a bull.

"Hmph, it was bound to happen sooner or later!"

Maki hummed softly, put away the red envelope, and continued exercising.

Zenji Shinsuke shook his head at this.

In other words, he is more tolerant of cute little kids. If it were a naughty child who pesters him all day long, he would be furious if he didn't turn him into a spinning top.

Chapter 21 Special Level One Unspelled Power Sorcerer?

"Boom boom boom..."

The door opened, and a head popped out. "Uncle's here!"
