The Sword Deity in Tokyo

Chapter 166: Dragon Bone Soup

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

This list given by Kimura Kazuki was for the Dragon Bone Soup.

The Dragon Bone Soup was a prescription to be applied externally, which requires one to put crude herbs into hot water and dilute them. After that, the person would be soaked into the herb water to let the body absorb it.

During the era of recuperation of reiki, this was a well-known prescription all around the world.

The effects of the Dragon Bone Soup was apparent. It was to improve the physique of an ordinary person and allow an average person’s physical standard, reflexes, speed, and strength to improve to another level.

The Dragon Bone Soup would give the effect of Metamorphosis. The impurities in the person’s pores would be discharged while soaked in the Dragon Bone Soup to accomplish rebirth.

To achieve the Metamorphosis State, one must transmute the whole body, including the meridians, blood, bone, sea of reiki, et cetera... Covering all the facets of the body and completing an essential transformation from an ordinary person to an extraordinary person. This is also where the Metamorphosis State’s name was originated.

However, the prescription of the Dragon Bone Soup in the era of recuperation of reiki was just a basic one. It was offered merely for ordinary people to strengthen their bodies. During the era of recuperation of reiki, people would soak themselves in a tremendous amount of reiki, so they would experience transformation as time passed without the need of the Dragon Bone Soup.

Similar to the effects of the Dragon Bone Soup, the transformation was merely to improve one’s physical standard.

Therefore, the humans’ physical standard was excellent during the era of recuperation of reiki, they had an average age of around 100 years.

For those who had practitioner potential, none of them needed the soup as they had Reiki Quenching Body. However, during the era of recuperation of reiki, this prescription was a priceless treasure for a particular group of people.

Harunaka accepted the list, took a glance at it, and was dazed.

She did not understand Kimura-senpai’s intention.

Kimura Kazuki took a glance at her and remained silent. He knew that Harunaka would be dubious if he explained this to her by words. It would be easier for her to accept it if he shattered her three fundamental values. Taking Chiba Shiori and Nakagawa Aokiji as an example, they had rebuilt their three fundamental values after looking at that Multi-Armed Demon in Akichi High School.

So...

At the next moment, brilliant rays were shot out from the Sun and Moon Sword, which was placed on the table by Kimura Kazuki.

Harunaka’s gaze became dull upon seeing that. She rubbed her eyes and saw that the Sun and Moon Sword had turned into a mass of light, rising gradually before transforming into a three-inch small azure sword.

Unlike a Japanese tachi sword or samurai sword, the three-inch small sword was a straight sword with sharp ends at both sides. It could injure horizontally or vertically.

The Sun and Moon Sword mainly consisted of reiki so it could be transformed into any form... However, Kimura Kazuki usually carried the sword in tachi form while he was in Japan. Additionally, he mainly used it in tachi form since he had learned the Yagyu Flying Sword Stye.

However, he would be using the Huaxia sword while practicing the Art of Sword Summoning.

Flying Sword was the orthodoxy of the Art of Sword Summoning.

The three-inch small sword floated in the air in front of them. Kimura Kazuki did not control it and just allowed Harunaka to look at it.

“This... This...” Harunaka could barely speak. Her three fundamental values were inverted now as if she was in a dream. She pinched her cheek in disbelief... Ouch...

She was not dreaming.

“There are many bizarre things in this world,” Kimura Kazuki observed her reaction and spoke. “It is normal for you to think that both Momoi Yayoi and Katsuki Sugawara were powerful, and you couldn’t defeat them. They are members of Ancient Kendo Community whose sword power was dawned,” as he spoke, he saw Harunaka reaching toward the Sun and Moon Sword. He did not mind and continued, “the so-called sword power had to be understood but not taught. As long as you comprehend the sword power, the power of your sword style will improve tremendously.”

Harunaka touched the Sun and Moon Sword with her slender fingers. Feeling the coolness with her fingertips, her mind was blown. She was uninjured as the Sun and Moon Sword was under Kimura Kazuki’s control. Harunaka heard Kimura-senpai’s words clearly. Even so, she could not react in a short time. She stared blankly at her Senpai and glanced at the Sun and Moon Sword floating in the air... She had been thinking the Sun and Moon Sword was a wooden material... Yet it was giving out unbelievable colors like in a movie.

Kimura Kazuki looked at her and kept silent, allowing her to clear up her emotions.

After two minutes, Harunaka finally managed to suppress her astonishment. She spoke in astonishment, “So... Both Momoi and Sugawara were just like you, owning this kind... This kind of...” She was at a loss of words for a moment, and she was stammering. After she calmed down, she regained control of her mouth and spoke, “Both of them owned senpai’s extraordinary capabilities as well?”

“They didn’t know these kinds of tricks. However, their families had their own sword styles, respectively,” Kimura Kazuki smiled as he saw that Harunaka had calmed down. “But no worries, I have been watching both of their videos... These two only comprehended their sword power, and they are still fumbling with it. Perhaps their sword styles did increase by the sword power, but it wasn’t that great of an improvement. Their body qualities were actually similar to yours.”

Although those from the Ancient Kendo Community placed emphasis on physical standards, they were even more particular in sword power. In their eyes, sword power was the most important, and skills were what really mattered. As long as a person’s sword power is strong, even if the opponent is strong physically, could he really escape from the sword, amid so many weapons?

However, Kimura Kazuki could not conclude that they were wrong. During the era of recuperation of reiki, the practitioners were separated into few factions. Some emphasized on weapons, some considered that one could be unbeatable with enough Enchanted Talismans. Some proved themselves by strength while some were well-known for their skills... and many more. It was too many to be enumerated. It could be said that it was like all kinds of flowers were blooming together.

The society today belonged to the Dharma Ending Age. In Kimura Kazuki’s view, the physical standard was still very crucial.

That is because practitioners in the Dharma Ending Age could only hover around the Foundation Stage for almost their whole life as no one had been removed from the category of ordinary people in the Foundation Stage so far. One had to undergo Metamorphosis before his life could evolve for the first time.

If Harunaka’s physical standard increased, improving her abilities. She would still be a danger for those practitioners who were at Level One or Two of the Foundation Stage, even if she hasn’t truly mastered her sword power. Not to mention, both Yayoi Momoi and Katsuki Sugawara had only recently learned their sword powers. Even with absorbed reiki in their bodies, they were still ordinary people.

As long as Harunaka’s body undergoes metamorphosis once, even though she would not be able to defeat them within seconds, she would still be evenly-matched and have a tie quickly while dealing with Momoi and Sugawara. A few days would be given for resting after the district qualifiers, and that would be enough for Harunaka to manage her body completely.

While Kimura Kazuki explained the effects of the Dragon Bone Soup to her, Harunaka folded that piece of paper carefully. She looked at the clean and lightweight piece of paper, and she looked touched. Then, she handed it over to Kimura-senpai, took a deep breath, and spoke, “Senpai, this prescription must be very precious. You shouldn’t be giving it to me rashly... As for the effects of the Dragon Bone Soup, of course, I’m excited about it. So, Senpai, please tell me how much you will need to purchase these herbs. I will give you the money so you can get them for me.”

Upon hearing that, Kimura Kazuki placed the list on the table and spoke slowly, “It doesn’t matter even if the prescription is leaked out. Even if you are soaking in the

Dragon Bone Soup, I have to check on you by using reiki to prevent your body from collapsing due to your body being unable to withstand the effects of the herbs.”

Huh? Harunaka stared at Kimura Kazuki’s clear eyes. With a poof, her face flushed.
