I'm in Tokyo, caught in the clutches of the demon princess.

Kiritani never expected that Kazesawa would overtake him and complete the 500 kilometers before him.

After completing these tasks, Feng Zejian was breathing rapidly and was covered in sweat.

But they still had energy left, while the others, even those who had completed fifty rounds of Kiritaniyama, collapsed to the ground.

"You bunch of brats, you started running like crazy, but you couldn't keep up later, could you?"

"Don't be unconvinced. Although Feng Zejian started slowly, his speed never dropped. Today's training was completed perfectly only by Feng Zejian. This training is not a test of your speed, but your endurance and stamina."

Chapter 153 I want to know the real gap between us

“If you run like Feng Zejian, you can achieve the same results. And this is just the beginning, the real training is yet to come. It’s getting late, so get up. If you can’t get up, go back.”

The five people staggered to their feet and swayed as they walked back to the orphanage.

After dinner, the five of them quickly washed up and went to bed, falling asleep immediately.

They were really exhausted today.

"I have to say, Dean, your special training is way too grueling."

Sato Shiro looked at Kazesawa.

"Would you like to see someone even more devilish?"

Sato's move suddenly piqued Kazesawa's interest.

Feng Zejian had no idea that his interest would bring him a lifetime of fear.

It also made him fully understand the feeling of despair and helplessness.

Kazema and Sato Shiro arrived at the warehouse they had visited before.

The two faced each other. Sato Shiro leisurely smoked a cigarette, then threw the still-burning cigarette on the ground and crushed it out with his foot.

"Ready, kid?"

Kazema nodded, and the next second Sato Shiro's finger pressed against Kazema's Adam's apple.

Feng Zejian broke out in a cold sweat and swallowed hard.

"Dean, is that teleportation?"

Sato Shiro withdrew his hand and shook his head.

"It's simply about speed."

Kazema raised his fist and slammed it towards Sato Shiro.

The blurring of the original intention would cause Sato Shiro some trouble, but Sato Shiro grabbed Kaze Sawama's wrist in one go.

"I've already activated my intangibility, how did you manage to catch me?"

Sato Shiro released his grip.

"The intangibility you mentioned was something you activated temporarily, and your pre-cast animation was too obvious. I knew I could control you in the last moments before your intangibility took effect. In other words, I reacted faster than you."

"Your idea is good, but when you encounter an opponent who is far inferior to you, your idea is just clever but ineffective. Running away is the best choice."

Kaze looked at Sato Shiro.

"I want to know, what is the real gap between us?"

Sato Shiro looked at Kaze Sawama and asked for confirmation, "Kid, are you serious?"

Feng Zejian nodded.

Sato Shiro walked back to his original position at a leisurely pace.

The closed-eyed Asura on his chest opened its eyes.

At Sato Castle's feet, a purplish-black color spread, enveloping the entire warehouse in just a few seconds.

Feng Zejian could not hear any sound, and the next moment, he felt a strong sense of nausea and vomiting, and began to experience chest tightness and difficulty breathing.

His limbs began to go limp uncontrollably. Feng Zejian looked at Sato Shiro and saw that Sato Shiro's clothes and appearance had completely changed.

He held the purple demon sword in his right hand, and his original attire had been replaced by a half-black armor, with his right side exposed. His skin had turned a rough purple, and a bone-like shoulder armor was embedded in Sato Shiro's right shoulder, with strands of purple hair extending backward to form something like a cape, only much smaller.

His lower body and legs were covered by purple bone armor, and Sato's original skin could still be vaguely seen through the gaps in the bone armor.

This armor is similar to an exoskeleton, with some marks on the neck, cheeks, and even ears.

His face didn't change much, except that Sato Shiro's hair, which was tied up, was now loose, and combined with his somewhat greasy face, he actually looked rather handsome.

The purple demonic blade exuded a thick black aura, and faint wails could be heard from it amidst the wind and swirling air. The wails were incredibly noisy; they weren't just the wails of one person, but those of many.

Sato Shiro calmly looked at Kazesawa, raised his purple demon sword, and in that instant, Sato Shiro appeared in front of Kazesawa, still in the same posture as before.

Feng Zejian stared blankly as the demon sword fell. At that moment, the aura of death spread throughout Feng Zejian's body, and memories flashed through his mind.

For the first time, Feng Zejian felt powerless and experienced death.

Even after Sato Shiro sheathed his sword and dispelled his domain and his own form.

The feeling of death did not disappear.

Feng Zejian was already sprawled on the ground, his eyes wide open and lifeless.

It took Feng Zejian a while to calm down and recover from the fear of death.

Feng Zejian, who had narrowly escaped death, lay on the ground, panting heavily.

This is a basic human instinct, and even Feng Zejian is not immune to it.

If Sato Shiro hadn't stopped in time, he would have died even if the knife hadn't fallen.

That feeling of death would make all of Feng Zejian's organs mistakenly believe that he was dead, thus causing them to fail and ultimately leading to death.

Sato Shiro extended his hand.

Kazema reached out his hand, and Sato Shiro pulled him up with a strong pull.

"You little brat, I warned you."

Feng Zejian smiled.

“I didn’t say anything, but for a moment, I really felt like I was dead.”

Feng Zejian looked at his moving hand and sighed softly:

"Only when you know what death feels like do you realize how wonderful it is to be alive."

Sato Shiro calmly said:

So live well and cherish your hard-won life.

Back in his room, Feng Zejian took a quick shower using the old water heater.

There was a faint smell of rust in the water, but this didn't affect Feng Zejian, and he didn't care about it.

My biggest takeaway today was experiencing the feeling of death.

However, I definitely don't want to experience that feeling a second time.

To be honest, before Sato Shiro's move, Kazema was quite confident in himself, but now he knows the gap between himself and a true powerhouse.

Feng Zejian, wearing a bathrobe, sat on the bed fiddling with his phone.

There was a knock on the door.

At Kazesawa's invitation to enter, Yanase Sayasu entered.

Seeing Feng Zejian in a bathrobe, she felt a little shy even though she couldn't see much.

"good evening."

Kazema forced a smile. "Good evening, Sayame."

Sayam looked at the room and immediately started a conversation.

"It looks quite lived-in. Was this your old room?"

Feng Zejian nodded.

"This is the room the dean left me, and it hasn't changed much since."

"This place must have special meaning for you."

Feng Zejian nodded with a smile. "Yes, this is my last refuge in this world."

“I’ve heard about your story. I’m here today to apologize to you on behalf of my parents. There are some things I don’t want to hide from you; they said some hurtful things in private.”

Feng Zejian didn't care about this at all.

“Sayam, there’s no need to apologize. Your parents are right. If it were me, I would have done the same.”

"No, if they knew what you went through, they would definitely regret their words and actions."

Feng Zejian countered, "Why should I let them know, or what good would your parents' apology do me?"

Feng Zejian took a deep breath and said with utmost solemnity:

"No matter how many hurtful things your parents said, as long as you defended me, that's enough."

Chapter 154 Sayazue Yanase's Monologue

“You don’t need to apologize on behalf of your parents. You represent your parents, but your parents are not you.”

Yanase Saya looked at Kazesawa and then bowed.

"sorry."

Kazema looked calmly at Yanase Sayasu and asked again, "Sayasu, what's the reason this time?"

Saya Yanase said slowly:

“This time, I’m apologizing for myself. Before, I thought you were just a scumbag who liked to play with women.”

Feng Zejian scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.

"Actually, I think what you think is fine."

Yanase Saya rolled her eyes at Kazesawa.

"Listen to what I have to say."

"You said."

Saya Yanase grumbled again.

"You ruined the mood I had just built up."

Feng Zejian rubbed his nose.

"I'm really sorry about that."

Saya Yanase continued, "Kaze Sawama, do you believe in destiny?"

Kazema looked at Yanase Saya. "What do you mean?"

“Our first meeting was full of drama; it was the first time you surprised me. Even now, I can’t believe that my grandmother, who had been missing for so many years without a trace and whose remains had been lost, would be found by you and miraculously brought back to me.”

"Without a doubt, you have done the Yanase family an immense favor."

“I know that you left because of your parents’ attitude. Back then, my parents and I were very arrogant, and I admit that it was because of the sense of superiority that came with our status.”

"But later, I found that I couldn't feel superior in front of you. Instead, I envied your ability to get along well with classmates, teachers, and even the principal."

"It's also because of you that I've made a lot of friends, something I could never have done before. Having experienced friendship, I can no longer go back to being indifferent to everyone. After all, no one wants to live alone."

Even if I took advantage of you, I will still remain vigilant and wary of you.

"I know very little about you right now, or even none at all."

"Until this time, when everyone at the shrine was overwhelmed with work because of the calamity befell the crow god's offspring, you brought me this incredibly important news."

"I think this is not a coincidence, but fate between us."

"Upon receiving this news, I brought Lord Raven God here without delay. And there I found you unconscious."

"At that time, to be honest, I was in a terrible mood."

"After receiving news that you were not in danger, my mood improved. I began to wonder why you were here and why you were related to the offspring of the Raven God. Many questions arose in my mind."
