The four Masato went to look for them.

"Hey, Suya."

Yukio stood a little distance away and called to him, not wanting to trigger Motoko's attack.

Motoko made a sound of "Hmm?" and looked at the four of them innocently.

Perhaps it was because of Shuko's effective training that Motoko's reaction was not intense this time.

She herself was unaware of it; she was so tired that her mind was a little foggy.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

Motoko asked, munching on a fried pork chop.

"... What's going on between you and Inoue?"

Yukio lowered his voice.

"What?"

Motoko looked bewildered. "Nothing happened between Inoue- kun and me, right? He just helped me with my training, didn't he?"

Why did he suddenly bring you here? And why did he gather so many of his men?

Yukio asked clearly this time.

"Oh, that's because of our Shinmeiryu training..."

Motoko explained it again.

"I see, so it's a characteristic of the Shinmeiryu..."

Seya suddenly realized, and said with a hint of envy.

"Ayase, do you want to train too? Tell Inoue- kun, he'll probably agree!"

Motoko's eyes lit up; she thought it would be easier if someone was with her.

"... No need. I just watched the senior's training, and it's too early for me."

Seya was momentarily tempted, but he still recognized his own strength.

After watching for a while, he realized he was no match for Motoko.

Motoko had experienced various battles six years ago, and her experience was not the same as that of a martial artist who grew up in peacetime.

The skill she displayed in battle made him realize the gap in skill between them.

Moreover, her cultivation level far surpasses that of Seya.

While Seya is still strengthening his internal organs, Motoko has already reached a breakthrough point in her cultivation, where she is strengthening herself from the outside in.

Even Motoko as powerful as Motoko was driven to the brink of unconsciousness by this training, Seya knew that this was not a training he could withstand.

It's true that he has a special constitution, but that can't be maintained for long...

"Oh, okay then."

Motoko wasn't good at talking, so she simply stopped.

As the conversation on one side came to an end, Shuya's phone rang on the other.

He glanced at it; it was Inoue Sakura calling.

Did Shizuka Hiratsubun ultimately go and complain?

Shuya thought for a few seconds before answering the phone. He decided to listen to the whole thing before deciding whether or not to disappear.

"Hey, what's up?"

Shuya answered the phone and said, "Are you calling to persuade me to go back to school?"

He asked directly, but Inoue Sakura was stunned. "Go to school? What school? You mean university? What does it matter to me whether you go to school or not?"

What the hell is this university? You still don't understand what I'm studying?

... never mind.

Shuya said, "... I haven't been to school lately because of some things, and I thought you were calling to lecture me."

Inoue Sakura gave a childish "Huh?" and said disdainfully, "I don't care if you go to school or not! I'm here to ask when you're free! I need to schedule my voice acting time."

"Dubbing, so fast?"

"Soon? Not really! The new anime is airing in July, and it's already Itsuki! It's about time we started preparing!"

Inoue Sakura said impatiently, "Are you kidding me? You're so slow and indecisive. Don't think that just because you're some kind of idol with lots of sycophants, I'll put up with your attitude. I'm telling you, no way! When are you free?!"

Shuya got angry when he heard her say that, "Damn it, I'm busy right now! I don't have time to worry about dubbing. If you're really in a hurry, go record other people's first, and I'll record my own later."

"Damn it, your mother's dead! You brat, you're getting more and more troublesome... Fine, fine! I'll think about it some more."

Inoue Sakura hung up the phone, cursing under her breath.

Shuya put down his phone and sweared, "Fuck your son! That's incredibly rude!"

The surrounding Monster who heard this were all speechless. This mother and daughter... well, according to Shuya, they should be father and son.

The Monster thought to themselves, "This father and son have always been capable of trading one for one."

Shuya once again truly felt the impact of the gender swap.

He doesn't want to go to work until he recovers.

He doesn't want to perform on stage again; that's a complete black mark on his past!

Similarly, he wouldn't take jobs like modeling or voice acting.

This isn't about playing the "it smells so good" meme; it's the truth.

Shuya started to plan, intending to push Motoko to practice more.

He shared this joyful news with Motoko, who was moved to tears on the spot.

Seeing Motoko so happy, Shuya was also very pleased.

So after the banquet, everyone went back to the training ground and trained with Motoko that night.

Shuya secretly deduced that it would only be a matter of the next day or two for Motoko to master the Demon Eye.

Let's keep pushing!

Several hours passed in the blink of an eye, Motoko still hadn't mastered the Demon Eye.

But it doesn't matter, if it doesn't work today, we'll try tomorrow, and if that doesn't work, we'll try the day after tomorrow. Shuya and Motoko are going head-to-head.

Anyway, she's not leaving until she masters it!

Shuya chose to train Motoko in the Seki Fortress because it was his territory, and once the gates were closed, Motoko couldn't escape even if she wanted to.

One night passed.

Wednesday is here.

Motoko started her special training early in the morning, with Shuya accompanying and supervising her.

Yukio and the others went back to school, but they said they would come back after school.

Shuya felt that even if he refused, they wouldn't listen, so he had no choice but to let it be.

Immersed in training, most of the day passed by just like that.

By the afternoon, Motoko's swordsmanship had reached a state of perfection, a level of mastery that had been refined and refined.

Her inner energy, honed through countless trials, was close to a breakthrough, but it was still just a little short.

Shuya looked around and saw that experts like Oniichi Tiantian had all participated.

Those old Monster are hard to control, so there's only one method left.

He stood up and decided to take matters into his own hands.

"Alliance Leader?"

"The Alliance Leader is going to make a move?"

"Hmm? But the Alliance Leader isn't..."

"Idiot! Even if the Alliance Leader isn't at his peak, he's still Natural Martial Bone!"

The Monster whispered among themselves.

Shuya drew his First Snow and slipped into the demon horde, stealthily making his way towards Motoko.

"The Alliance Leader is as cunning as ever."

Shuten Gozozo said admiringly, "He's so strong, yet he still resorts to underhanded tactics."

Tamamo Ren retorted, "That's not entirely true. A sudden attack might better bring out Mr. Aoyama's potential."

Her words were a bit obsequious, but not entirely untrue.

Section 464, Chapter 430: The Demon Eye!

Shuya secretly lurked behind Motoko, and when the opportunity arose, he suddenly stabbed her with a knife.

The First Snow was about to fall, and he could no longer hide his presence. Motoko's intuition sensed the approaching blade, and the sudden shock made her body tense up, her mind on the verge of exploding.

Shuya deliberately created a murderous aura that coiled around her like a venomous snake, intentionally stimulating her mind, body, and heart.

At this moment, all of Motoko's vital energy and physical strength instinctively gathered and flowed throughout her body.

Driven by instinct, her energy broke through a barrier and entered a completely new realm.

Motoko's talent is not bad. The Qi in her body has long been attributed. In addition to the perfection of the Five Elements, it also has the lightning attribute unique to the Shinmeiryu.

A martial artist's training begins internally and progresses outwards.

Qi originates from flesh and blood, and then manifests outwards and takes on attributes.

She had already completed this step.

The next step is to cultivate and strengthen the internal organs, tendons, bones, and even bone marrow using Qi, working from the outside in.

In principle, there is no special order to the cultivation of Qi, but different schools have different techniques, and the Shinmeiryu has its own methods.

The Shinmeiryu training method first involves strengthening the internal organs with attribute-modified Qi, a step that Motoko completed a long time ago.

As mentioned earlier, after the internal organs are strengthened, both the non-attribute Qi and the attribute-based Qi will become stronger, and more importantly, the performance of the internal organs will improve in all aspects.

Strengthening the internal organs is the foundation of the Shinmeiryu cultivation method.

The next stage of training requires the internal organs to have strong resilience and recovery capabilities.

After strengthening the internal organs, the next stage is to refine the body using the lightning attribute energy that the Shinmeiryu is best at.

... Simply put, it's about shocking yourself relentlessly.

If you electrocute yourself without repairing your internal organs, they will inevitably rupture, and that would basically be the end of you.

Modern medicine might be able to save him, but no one would want to try.

Over the years, Motoko has completed her physical tempering, making her physical abilities and her lightning-attribute energy extremely powerful.

If we could go back six years, she could hold her own against two Monster General using the special features of the Shinmeiryu, and even fight against Otake-maru.

Unfortunately, the situation is different now. Because of the abundant income from the Power of Awe, the Monster' cultivation levels have risen rapidly. At most, she can only defeat half of Shuten Gozozo. (Shuten Gozozo has tragically become a unit of combat power, so heartbreaking.)

Motoko has actually been stuck at a bottleneck for a long time.

At this moment, forced by Shuya's murderous aura, her body's instincts erupted in the face of desperation. Her already powerful qi condensed into one, finally breaking through the limits.

She had been engaged in fierce battles with Monster, and her entire body's energy had long since transformed into lightning attributes, allowing her to break through directly without the need for further transformation.

Just as the First Snow's blade was about to touch Motoko refined, steel-like energy pierced through her powerful body, which had been tempered by lightning energy for a long time.

Her body underwent a mysterious change.

Martial arts training involves tempering the entire body from the inside out and from the outside in. The next step is to generate Qi (vital energy) simultaneously throughout the body's flesh, bones, and internal organs, ensuring a continuous flow of Qi and a complete sublimation of power.
