Mo Shuying never expected that he, a demolition expert, would one day be on the receiving end of an explosion.
Though the damage wasn't severe—the power of the two monsters' explosions was nothing to write home about—it was incredibly insulting.
Fortunately, something was left behind after the two monsters died, which offered some psychological comfort.
Tsuchigumo Mitama
Equipping grants C-rank double resistance increase.
Gains effect: Tsuchigumo's Resentment
When dealing damage to an enemy, applies one stack of Tsuchigumo's Mark. Each stack reduces the enemy's movement speed by 10% and deals continuous corrosive damage. Stacks up to three times and lasts for 10 seconds, refreshing with new applications.
Sūki Mitama
Equipping grants C+-rank strength increase.
Gains effect: Sūki's Heavy Strike
Activating grants three enhanced basic attacks, dealing 130% damage. Cooldown: 3 minutes.
Looking at the two orbs floating in the air, Mo Shuying understood that these must be the secret treasures the System mentioned.
After he picked up the orbs, the surrounding space began to vibrate, and then Mo Shuying was pushed out by a force!
In a flash, he was back in front of the tall building, which had returned to normal. Its interior was now visible, no longer appearing eerie and dim.
"It's over already?"
Mo Shuying wore a "that's it?" expression. He had expected the other ten Oni Generals and their master to follow through the portal and attack him, so he had been excited for nothing.
He was unhappy, not satisfied at all. This Nihon was no good; there wasn't anyone strong enough to fight.
"Whatever, I'll just keep looking around. There are still 10 Oni Generals, right? Surely some of them will be strong."
Mo Shuying activated Presence Concealment and turned to leave. He planned to find a place to study these so-called Mitama.
...
Meanwhile.
Inside an ancient Nihon-style mansion, a group of people sat together.
Aside from the main seat, two rows of people, both male and female, sat on either side of the hall, dressed in traditional Nihon attire.
In the main seat, a man who bore a striking resemblance to Emiya Shirou sat cross-legged. He looked at everyone and began to speak.
"The Tsuchigumo and Sūki of the Twelve Oni Generals have been eliminated. The enemy is very strong, no ordinary foe. I've already sent people to track and monitor him, but I don't know if they'll find him. I've also ordered the other ten Oni Generals to keep a low profile for now. If any more problems arise, I may need your intervention."
Everyone nodded slightly upon hearing this, showing no signs of worry.
At this moment, a woman with a remarkably ample bosom narrowed her eyes and spoke.
"Lord Amakusa, with two Oni Generals eliminated, have their secret realm fragments been recovered?"
"Yes, I know what you're concerned about. The two fragments have been recovered and fully charged. Now, only the Oni Spirit and Qing Nü's fragments remain incomplete."
The man known as Lord Amakusa clenched his fists. Once all twelve fragments were complete, his Blood Nation could immediately expand! At that time, he would be invincible within the Blood Nation! He would no longer fear any powerful enemies!
"Qing Nü is in a sparsely populated area, so it's understandable that hers isn't complete, but the Oni Spirit's location isn't sparsely populated, is it? Why isn't theirs complete either?"
A blue-haired girl in a blue kimono, holding a folding fan, asked in confusion. Unfortunately, she received no answer. Everyone remained silent.
After a while.
"It seems it's time to urge the Oni Spirit and Qing Nü, but we must also be careful not to cause too much commotion and be discovered. Qing... never mind, you'd only cause trouble if you went. Hōzōin, I'll trouble you to go to Qing Nü. Although you're not good at communicating with spirits, for the greater cause, I can only ask this of you."
Amakusa spoke, looking at a man dressed as a monk.
The man nodded without a word, stood up, and left.
"Tomoe Gozen, you go to the Oni Spirit's side."
"Yes."
Another red-eyed girl in armor stood up. She had two red oni horns on her forehead and exuded a formidable aura.
As for the blue-haired girl.
"Ah! Amakusa is playing favorites! I don't like you anymore!"
The blue-haired girl turned her head away, ignoring Amakusa. Amakusa smiled faintly, took a sip of his drink, and his mind was filled with thoughts.
After several hours of wandering, night had completely fallen. Mo Shuying, who was almost sleeping on the streets, found a good place: a hot spring resort called Kisuisō.
He booked a room, changed his clothes, and went to soak in the hot spring. This hot spring inn wasn't large, with only an elderly proprietress and a few young female attendants, but the atmosphere was pleasant.
After a quick rinse, he entered the hot spring. At first, Mo Shuying was very excited, but after getting in the water...
Damn it, being too strong isn't always a good thing. This temperature feels like nothing.
He was screwed. Soaking in the hot spring felt no different from soaking in cold water. Mo Shuying suddenly realized he might no longer be a normal person. He had never paid attention to the water temperature when showering before, always assuming he was rinsing with cold water. Only today did he realize he might not have felt it even if it was hot water.
"No, no, this won't do. Control! That's right, my master said that no matter how strong you are, you must not lose control of yourself. If my control over my body reaches the Micro-Control Realm, I can definitely restore my sensory perception to that of a normal person. I'll try!"
Mo Shuying sat in the hot spring and closed his eyes. His powerful mental energy enveloped him, sensing every part of his body and meticulously controlling it!
As the saying goes, control yourself, master others.
If one's self-control reaches a certain level, the combat effectiveness in battle will also significantly increase.
Of course, it wasn't easy.
It took Li Shuwen decades to reach the peak of the Micro-Control Realm. While Mo Shuying was incredibly talented, his body was already too strong, practically perfect in its original form, and had received numerous enhancements. Starting Micro-Control training now was indeed very difficult.
In his mind, Mo Shuying could feel his body, like a flawless diamond, with nowhere to even begin. But since it was his own body, how could it stop his consciousness from exploring?
Gradually, Mo Shuying found the trick. He began to relax his body, his previously taut muscles loosening. Lying in the water, he no longer resisted it but instead felt the water's fluctuations with the current.
Slowly, Mo Shuying's spiritual power integrated into his own being, gently filling every corner, every cell of his body.
At this moment, Mo Shuying felt as though he could perceive the mysteries of the human body. With each breath, everything within him resonated with its rhythm. Not only that, but in this state, Mo Shuying began to perfectly merge with nature. Lying in the hot spring, he emitted not a single trace of his presence, indistinguishable from an ordinary person.
The Circle Realm, a state Li Shuwen prided himself on, was now within Mo Shuying's grasp.
It was important to remember that even Li Shuwen, who had touched upon the Circle Realm in his youth, had done so only after more than a decade of practicing martial arts.
Mo Shuying, on the other hand, had merely soaked in the water for two hours.
