Chapter 4125 Anxious

Although Takaoka Yūnori was trying to appear calm, he was actually quite flustered inside.

Yes, he really almost died just now. Even though he's an Awakened One now and his abilities are pretty good, falling directly to the ground from several thousand meters in the air is still unbearable.

This is different from when he accompanied Eizan Etsuya on his skydive. This time, he actually fell directly to the ground. In fact, the helicopter exploded. If he had fallen with it, he would probably be blown to bits by now.

And now there's something that's making him even more anxious: he can no longer perform simulations.

That's right, after a bunch of warnings, the system just became unresponsive, and now the interface can't be accessed.

That's clearly the punishment for him creating the cultivation technique, which he can accept.

But now that the simulation is no longer available, he's quite panicked about everything he does. He's not very brave to begin with, and it's only with the simulation system that he can be calm. Now that the simulation is gone, he's really quite anxious about the uncertain future.

He has landed safely now, and what's making him anxious is certainly not the plane crash.

Yes, what he's worried about now is still that someone wants to kill him.

Take Ozaki Naomichi, for example. He's already been given a mission to kill him. Takaoka Yūnori is quite clear that Ozaki Naomichi isn't the only one who wants him dead. He estimates that all the system holders have received the same order, because the person who's in a hurry to kill them is probably the system itself.

As for why the system itself wanted to kill him, he had figured it out. Undoubtedly, the cultivation technique he created was hindering his plans, and now it was just one step away from completely jeopardizing them: revealing the cultivation technique he had created.

The good news is that besides those who want to kill him, there are probably also a large number of people who don't want him to die.

Yes, those who are waiting to reveal their cultivation techniques don't want to die right now, like the Inugami clan who just saved them.

That's right, it's not just humans who are waiting for their techniques to be revealed; the Inugami clan is too.

At the critical moment just after the crash, the person who intervened was Zong Yang. He transformed into his true form, the Dog God, and carried him away from the helicopter, thus preventing him from being killed by the explosion.

Of course, the Inugami family was quite generous in their actions, not only saving him but also several of his "team members." It could be considered an act of goodwill towards him.

Zong Yang also told him that he was only a few steps away from success, and he hadn't yet created a cultivation technique. Now he wanted Takaoka Yuzuri's cultivation technique, and then he wanted to improve upon it.

That's right, Zong Yang's progress has been a bit slower. The main problem is not because he lacks ability, but because there are still some differences between demons and humans.

Even with the same cultivation method, humans can practice it, but demons may not. Moreover, this is a newly created cultivation method; even if some aspects are similar, there will obviously be divergent paths upon reaching the point of success.

Therefore, Zong Yang wanted to refer to the successful techniques already developed by Takaoka Yuden so that he could quickly create techniques belonging to their demon race, which is why he intervened to save the person.

Regarding this, Takaoka Yūnori clearly had no objection. In his view, it didn't seem like a big deal if the cultivation technique fell into the hands of the demon race, since he intended to make it public to everyone, and sooner or later the demon race would get their hands on it anyway. Besides, Zong Yang himself was already close to mastering it, and even without his technique as a reference, he probably wouldn't need much time to create it himself.

As for why he was so determined to reveal the cultivation technique immediately, there's not much to say. There's only one answer: he wanted to live.

That's right, he's the only one who knows the technique now, so he's doomed and has no chance of surviving.

But if he were to reveal his cultivation technique, he would instantly become completely useless. Those who wanted to kill him would lose all reason to do so, because he would be of no use. What would be the point of killing him?

Aside from venting their anger, there was no need to kill him. But at that point, did those who wanted to kill him still have any desire for revenge? Did they even have time to care about such a useless person?

Therefore, as long as he reveals this technique publicly, he will actually be safe. Otherwise, he will be constantly hunted down, and who knows how many people will come.

Yuzuru Takaoka figured this out quite quickly, which is why he immediately restarted the live stream as soon as he was safe.

His livestreaming equipment had certainly exploded, but his phone was still intact. He's now streaming directly from his phone; the image is a bit shaky, but it doesn't affect the overall experience much.

Logged into his live streaming account, Takaoka Yūnori started his live stream again. After briefly letting everyone know he was safe, he immediately got down to business.

"...The most important step in this technique is naturally sensing emotional energy. Regarding this, I've taken a shortcut. Based on my current testing, emotional energy always exists within our bodies, but unlike spiritual energy, which has a specific location and can be sensed, emotional energy is dispersed throughout the body. If it accumulates in small amounts, it's quite difficult to sense. However, I just..."

Yusuke Takaoka didn't mince words; once he said he would go public, he immediately began his narration.

Of course, the technique was newly created, so his explanation was somewhat disorganized. It's like trying to teach a class without preparing a lesson plan. You may understand the concepts, but you haven't prepared the specific steps for explaining them, so the quality of your teaching will naturally be quite poor.

This is exactly the situation with Takaoka Yūnée. He talks, but without summarizing or concluding, his remarks are disjointed and fragmented. Moreover, Takaoka Yūnée himself is a bit anxious, wanting to get rid of this burden quickly, which only makes things more chaotic.

Just as he was anxiously trying to express himself, a sudden change occurred.

Halfway through his speech, Takaoka Yusuke suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart, a sign from his sixth sense as an awakened being.

He sensed it, but before he could react, a figure suddenly appeared beside him and lifted him up.

Takaoka Yuzuri panicked. Before he could figure out what was happening, a loud "boom" sounded from where he had just been standing, and a violent gust of wind made him close his eyes in shock.

When he opened his eyes again, he realized that the person who had just mentioned him was Zong Yang, who had clearly saved him. But when he turned to look at the other side of the sky, he saw a familiar figure floating in the air.

"Ozaki Naomichi..."
