Chapter 601 The anger of attacking the spirit, the cat and the human who tested the medicine!
In the days that followed, the white-clad ninja came every day, but he basically just stood by the dojo, striking a pose like a Ninja Master.
Broly thus became the mouth double for his own mouth double. Whenever he wanted to give micro-management guidance to Isayama Yomi and others on swordsmanship practice, he only needed to pretend to whisper to his own summoned creature first. Then the white shadow ninja would either nod in approval or shake his head and give the solution he proposed, which Broly would then carry out on his behalf.
With this kind of timely adjustment and personalized guidance, the training effect of Isayama Yomi and others was almost maximized. Imano Setsuna, who was most compatible with the Suijin-ryu style, mastered the Suijin-ryu style, a third-rate swordsmanship, to the advanced level in just a few days.
The others had a foundation in martial arts, and their experience was quite good when they switched to martial arts. Except for Kagura Tsuchimiya, who only reached the intermediate level, Yomi Isayama and Mei Isayama both reached the advanced level.
However, the upper level is the limit that humans in this world can reach. If they want to break through to the Saint level, their physical fitness must be able to keep up.
As the saying goes, practicing boxing without internal strength training is all for naught; without technical skills, one cannot become stronger.
Broly also included Qigong in his training schedule, practicing Qigong in the morning, swordsmanship in the afternoon, and a debriefing sparring session at dusk.
On weekends, the Shadow Ninjas even come over to add some drama, sending out low-level ninja minions and miscellaneous spirits captured in the wild as practice targets, which allowed Isayama Yomi and the others to live a fulfilling life of training, fighting monsters, and becoming stronger.
As for the outside world, the various storms caused by the Countermeasures Bureau and the Demon Exorcism Alliance due to the dual ninja setting seem to have nothing to do with them staying at home.
However, as Yomi Isayama and the others practiced, Broly, who often ate and slept with the three inside, noticed something was amiss.
. . . . .
"That's strange..."
Broly frowned as yet another combat training exercise came to an end.
【What's wrong, Master?】
Beside them, the white-clad ninja held up a sign and asked a question.
"Logically speaking, the Qi I give you, which is cultivated through Qi-training boxing, should enhance your physical fitness in all aspects."
Haven't their physical abilities been enhanced in every way?
The white-clad ninja found its master's current reaction rather strange.
"It's an all-around enhancement, but the focus of the enhancement is different. Compared to my situation where even my physical resistance to impact and defensive capabilities can be enhanced, their enhancement points seem to be all put into special attacks against spirits."
Is there a problem with this?
The white-shadowed ninja was puzzled. In its view, the strength of those who received training was now incomparable to that of the previous ones.
Previously, they had a tough time fighting the ragtag ninja soldiers summoned by the shadowy figures, but now, apart from a few monsters that the shadowy ninjas had subdued and sent over as experience packs, which caused them a little trouble and slightly injured Kagura Tsuchimiya's thigh, the group had almost easily passed the level.
"Of course there's a problem. This is a weakness of high attack and low defense. For example, this time, if it weren't for the horse talisman, it would have taken many days for Kagura's leg injury to heal. The qi I cultivate with my Qi-training fist shouldn't be like this."
In Broly's view, simply increasing the aura of attack doesn't count as becoming stronger; only when the aura of defense is also increased can it be considered as becoming stronger.
The White Shadow Ninja, who also had high attack but low defense, fell silent, except that as a spirit, his regenerative abilities were guaranteed.
It was somewhat suspicious of its master's plan, which was to train the four people over there into muscular, noble women who could fight their way in and out of the evil spirit tide with their bare hands, and who could calmly say "boxer briefs, boxer briefs" after they were done fighting, completely unharmed.
"Okay, go and ask about the situation later..."
Broly had no idea what his summoned creature was thinking, so he gave it new instructions.
[Injured? Why are you injured? Is the Qi you cultivate in your Qi Fist training just for show? Shouldn't it be used to enhance your defenses when attacked?]
The white-clad ninja received the order and quickly stepped out from his hiding place to inquire about the cause of Kagura Tsuchimiya's injury, then raised questions.
"Hey, Teacher Baiying, isn't what you're teaching a method of training spiritual energy? And can spiritual energy really enhance physical defense?"
This greatly surprised Isayama Yomi and the others, as their understanding of ki had always been limited to spiritual power, which they were more familiar with.
[Qi is not simply spiritual power, and its capabilities extend beyond simply amplifying attacks against spirits...]
The White Shadow Ninja changed the nameplates and taught the ki techniques that Broly had taught it to Yomi Isayama and others.
however……
"I'm sorry, Ms. Baiying, we seem to be a bit slow-witted and unable to do what you asked us to do."
Broly has determined that the ki cultivated by people in this world can only be manifested as spiritual power.
While spiritual power is very useful for exorcising spirits, it is somewhat useless in enhancing physical attributes.
(Unless one ceases to be human and transforms into a spirit)
No wonder, even after I transmitted my Qi at night and taught Qi-training fist techniques, the strength of Izayama Yomi and the others still showed only limited improvement.
Although they have indeed become stronger as exorcists, from the perspective of swordsmen, they are still stuck at the advanced level.
Just as Broly was struggling with how to continue developing the strength of Yomi Isayama and the others, Sumire Muroto, who had completed a phase of the demon gene experiment in the Black Bullet World, sent him a message asking for his opinion.
This news reminded Broly of the Crystal Palace, where the perfect version of the gene evolution potion researched by Sumire Muroto from the Black Bullet World still lay.
If Sumire Muroto hadn't asked, she might have really forgotten to experiment with these potions again. As for now...
"Little Flower, Little Black, Little White, come here~"
Back at his seaside villa, Broly beckoned to the three kittens that were already running around the living room.
"Meow meow meow?"
The three little guys thought there was something delicious to eat, so they quickly jumped over and started whining at Broly's feet.
"Here's some good food for you."
Broly pulled out the gene serum, grabbed the tabby kitten by the scruff of its neck, lifted it up, and fed the little guy a mouthful.
According to Sumire Muroto, this stuff is a perfect version of the Gastrum virus evolution agent, which can have an evolutionary effect on mammals. It can be taken orally or injected, the only difference being the absorption rate.
After the little guy drank the evolution potion, Broly stared at it intently. The little guy twisted restlessly in his hand, but the force was getting stronger and stronger.
"There were no adverse reactions, and my strength increased by about two times."
"Meow~"
The little guy cried out, only to be hurt by the prickly cushion.
"With enhanced self-healing ability, small wounds can heal on their own in just two or three breaths."
Broly put the tabby kitten down, and the little guy bristled and stared at him.
Broly reached out, only to have it bitten by the other's little mouth and baby teeth.
Bro gently stroked the little guy's body with his soft hands.
Soon, the little guy with its ruffled fur started making a soft, comfortable purring sound.
The hair smoothed down, and it even licked the boy's fingertips, looking like it was no longer angry.
Broly brought the black and white kittens to its front, and the little guy treated the two sisters the same as before.
It started licking the heads of the two little black and white kittens.
"It also has no aggressive tendencies towards its own kind."
Broly thought that the evolution potion that Sumire Muroto had given him should be fine.
"However, we still need to be cautious. Let's find someone to try it out first."
And as soon as the idea of who to experiment with first popped into his head, Broly had the answer.
Who is the person around you who needs your support the most, and with whom you have a good relationship, someone you know or are friends with?
That's right, it's Setsuna Imano, the girl from the Cursed Path who wants to protect her younger sister's bright future from her terrible biological father.
The next day, after a day of training, the White Shadow Ninja didn't leave. Instead, he went to Setsuna Imano and held up a sign: "Come out with me."
"Huh?!"
Setsuna Imano was a little surprised. This was the first time the White Shadow Ninja hadn't left immediately after training, but instead had someone go out with it.
However, since his own strength had significantly improved under the other party's guidance, Setsuna Imano didn't suspect anything and obediently followed the White Shadow Ninja out.
"Excuse me, Ms. Baiying, is there anything you want to tell me?"
Once outside, Setsuna Imano immediately began to inquire.
I have nothing to tell you, but Broly told me about you, and I greatly admire those who, though in darkness, still yearn for the light. Therefore, I intend to help you.
Seeing the information on the sign in the white-clad ninja's hand, Setsuna Imano's eyes widened. She hadn't expected Broly to remember what she'd said and relay it to the white-clad ninja, let alone that her teacher, the white-clad ninja, would be willing to help her. It felt like she'd been struck by lightning.
"Teacher Baiying, are you willing to protect my sister and me?"
The girl from the Cursed Path quickly asked the question.
No, that's not the kind of help I'm talking about. It's better to rely on yourself than on others.
The white-clad ninja directly denied it.
"But my strength..."
Don't worry, I have a drug that can rapidly increase a person's strength in a short period of time. However, there are some risks involved, and I don't know if you dare to take that risk.
The white-clad ninja didn't mean to force anyone, because the task its master had given it wasn't mandatory, but rather to give the choice to the cursed girl in front of it, letting her choose.
[A drug that can make someone stronger in a short time?]
Setsuna Imano thought of some dangerous banned drugs, but for her sister's sake, she still asked, "May I ask, what are the risks involved?"
You might grow new limbs that don't resemble the postures of a normal human.
Logically speaking, such a dangerous thing shouldn't be used, but...
My father has already given up on me, and my sister is probably already being taught by him. The longer this drags on, the more darkness my sister will have to endure...
Thinking this, Setsuna Kiyano gritted her teeth and said, "Teacher Shirakage, I want to become stronger. I want to rescue my sister from the Cursed Path organization as soon as possible. I'm willing to take any risks, but I can't die before that."
Don't worry, this drug will only make people less human, it won't kill them.
The kitten was still jumping around the house energetically today, without any unusual reaction.
"Then please, teacher, bestow that precious medicine upon your student."
Imano Setsuna bowed and made his request.
Without hesitation, the white-clad ninja took out the gene evolution potion given to him by his master and handed it over.
"Huh?"
Setsuna Imano stared in surprise at the high-tech syringe in front of her.
It can be taken orally or injected, with injections being more effective than oral administration.
But the white-clad ninja had no intention of explaining to her. After holding up a sign explaining how to use the gene evolution potion, he simply disappeared and left.
Setsuna Imano stood there for a while, then pressed the syringe against her arm and injected the medicine. The expected pain did not occur; instead, she felt a slight numbness throughout her body, and a warm current coursing through her.
Her body gradually regained the feeling of being full of power that comes from a workout at the gym.
"Phew~"
With a punch forward, the air made a sound. Setsuna Imano's eyes widened; the surging power within her was clearly not fake.
[I've become stronger, but what's the price?]
He ran back to his room, took off his clothes, and looked at himself in the mirror. He couldn't find any abnormalities in his body. It was only then that Setsuna realized that he hadn't encountered any risks from using the precious medicine. It seemed that he had become stronger without paying any price.
"Satsuna-nee, why did Shirakage-sensei ask you to go out just now?"
After getting dressed again and going outside, Setsuke Imano was questioned about the situation by Yomi Isayama and others.
"When Teacher Baiying heard about my situation, she was willing to help me and gave me some special guidance."
"What special instructions?"
Setsuna Imano didn't hide anything and told him about spraying pesticides.
"No way, you dare inject this kind of drug with no known origin directly into your body?"
Mei Isayama was somewhat surprised.
"I want to rescue my sister as soon as possible, and also, I believe that Teacher Baiying would not harm me."
At this point, Setsuna Imano paused for a moment, then changed the subject.
"Of course, if something happens to me, you can all learn from this and not use the drugs that Teacher Baiying gave me."
She didn't explicitly question the White Shadow Ninja, but that was the gist of it.
If she really turns into a monster or dies, it can serve as a reminder.
Mei Isayama understood, so he felt a bit conflicted.
"Fortunately, I feel great right now. I don't know how much stronger I've become, but I'm definitely stronger."
I think I should probably take my leave.
"Are you going to rescue your sister?"
"Um."
The group fell silent.
"sorry."
"Why are you apologizing?"
"Because I will no longer fulfill my duty to protect you."
"Ha, Setsuna-nee, Kagura and I are really strong now."
As Isayama Yomi spoke, he opened his arms and embraced the girl from the Cursed Forbidden Path.
"Setsuna-nee, be careful."
"I hope Setsuna-neechan can successfully rescue Shizuru-neechan."
Kagura Tsuchimiya also offered her blessing.
"Don't die yet, I haven't defeated you."
Isayama Mei then said something arrogantly.
"Broly, don't you want to say something to me?"
"Sister Setsuna, you succeeded. Will you come back?"
Broly thought for a moment and then asked.
"Yes, if it succeeds, I'll come back."
Setsuna Imano paused for a moment, then smiled and said...
She crouched down, hugged the boy who was holding the notebook, and whispered in his ear, "Broly, thank you for telling Teacher Baiying about me. If I succeed, I will definitely bring my sister back to repay you."
"I only did something insignificant, Sister Setsuna, you don't need to be so polite."
Broly used the other person as a test subject for the gene serum. Although the gene evolution serum was said to be very safe, it was, after all, a product of another world.
In this respect, Broly felt that the cursed girl in front of him didn't actually owe him anything; their situation was mutually beneficial.
"Um, Setsuna-nee, why don't you finish your meal and take a shower before going out? I think your sister would rather have a fragrant older sister to take her with her than an older sister who smells sweaty after a day of exercise, right?"
The cursed girl, who was preparing to go out and do something big that night, was brought back by a single sentence from Isayama Yomi.
"you're right."
She sniffed her own scent and nodded in agreement.
