DxD: Wrong Way

Although her body was still a little weak from the strong stimulation, Miyajima Sakura nodded and assumed her usual meditation posture before formal practice.

If one wants to advance far in martial arts, it is essential not only to train physical fitness but also to cultivate spirit and energy.

The essence in her lower abdomen exuded a steady stream of heat.

Initially, Miyajima Sakura found it difficult to calm down, as this was the first time she had meditated while naked.

Moreover, she did not have her commonly used bamboo sword with her, and her stomach was full of food, making her feel very uncomfortable. 

However, as the essence began to take effect and warm life energy flowed within her body, Miyajima Sakura gradually entered that meditative state.

She distinctly felt her body slowly growing stronger, and even her lower body, which was still somewhat sore, seemed to have recovered significantly.

Aoki had only given her two doses of essence, and Miyajima Sakura did not actively absorb it.

In fact, what she experienced was the improvement resulting from the dual cultivation process.

The remaining essence helped restore her body and energy, though its passive effect was significantly less, yet still better than nothing.

About thirty minutes later, Miyajima Sakura finished a meditation session as usual.

She opened her eyes and looked at Aoki with surprise in her bright eyes.

After experiencing it firsthand, the last trace of doubt in her heart completely vanished, and she felt that her physical condition had improved dramatically.

The natural anatomy of men and women dictates the differences in strength and speed.

Miyajima Sakura does not wish to train herself to resemble a Muscle Girl.

After so many years of training, her physical fitness is nearly on par with that of an ordinary adult man.

However, now she feels she could easily defeat a strong adult man using strength alone, without any skills.

Such an exaggerated improvement was something she had only experienced during her adolescence, specifically in high school.

While her appetite surged dramatically, every aspect of her body changed day by day. Not only did her height increase significantly, but her breasts and buttocks also became very plump and round during those few years.

Facing Miyajima Sakura's bright eyes, Aoki smiled and asked, "Sakura-senpai, how do you feel? How much have you improved?" 

"I haven't actually tried it yet, but I believe my strength has increased by at least 50%," Miyajima Sakura replied, sharing everything she felt with Aoki.

Aoki stroked his chin, "Since you don't possess extraordinary magical power in your body, the effect of dual cultivation is somewhat diminished, but it can still strengthen your body and accelerate your sword practice." 

"Umu"

Miyajima Sakura nodded.

She had already learned from Miyajima Sosuke that after reaching the master realm, 'qi' would be produced in the body.

To reach the realm of a master, in addition to knowledge of swordsmanship, physical fitness is also an indispensable part.

Qi is born from the body and is a product of the unity of spirit and body.

If the physical condition is too poor, energy and spirit will be insufficient, and understanding of the sword will be lacking.

If any one of the three is absent, Qi will not be born.

Therefore, martial arts are very difficult, but if you succeed, you basically have no weaknesses; you can only say that you are not skilled in a certain fighting method. 

In fact, Aoki himself also wanted to pursue martial arts.

His own talent was originally focused on hand-to-hand combat, not to mention mental strength and physical fitness.

However, the birth of Qi also requires an understanding of a certain martial art, such as fists, kicks, knives, swords, spears, sticks, etc.

Any will do, but it cannot be missing.

When it comes to concepts, Aoki is at a loss.

He relies completely on his dual cultivation ability, and hand-to-hand combat is purely practical and intuitive. He has no idea how to comprehend the Tao.

No matter how much he wants to develop in martial arts, he has no choice but to continue on the path of being a magician and strengthening his body. 

However, Aoki never gave up on the idea of becoming a martial artist and kept it deep in his heart.

As a native of China, who doesn't dream of becoming a martial arts master?

He didn't have the opportunity in his previous life, so how could he not try in this life?

This time, he received a talent called Kenshin from Miyajima Sakura.

Although it was only a basic level, it still ignited the thoughts in Aoki's heart. 

"Sakura-senpai, I will help you practice from now on, and you can teach me how to wield the sword."

Aoki suddenly said to Miyajima Sakura, "Of course, it's not the kind of showmanship used in competitions, but how to meditate, how to develop a relationship with weapons, and how to understand the way of the sword."

Sakura Miyajima tilted her delicate little face, "Of course, there's no problem with that. But didn't you say before that you weren't interested in kendo?" 

"Before was before, and now is now." 

Aoki chuckled and said perfunctorily, "I saw how pretty Sakura-senpai looks in her kendo uniform, so I wanted to give it a try." 

He couldn't say that he didn't want to waste his newly acquired sword heart, so he wanted to give it a try. 

Sakura Miyajima rolled her eyes shyly at Aoki, "If you like kendo uniforms… I can bring a new set next time…" 

Aoki was stunned for a moment, then looked at the beautiful, big-breasted girl in a kendo uniform who lowered her head and played with her fingers, her eyebrows full of spring, and he seemed to understand something. 

"Sakura-senpai…"

He smiled mischievously and caressed those long, white, smooth legs, "Do you want to try it yourself~~" 

Miyajima Sakura's delicate body stiffened, and the embarrassment of her thoughts being revealed made her feel as though she were burning all over, and she wanted to dig a hole and bury herself. 

She didn't know what was wrong with her; she just kept thinking about it. 

"No… it's not…"

Miyajima Sakura endured and said harshly, "It's to practice kendo better next time…" 

"The cultivation you're talking about, is it serious or not?" 

"Damn… um… um~" 

Aoki blocked Miyajima Sakura's sophistry. 

After a wet kiss, Aoki played with the big, plump, soft rabbit in his hand, "Sakura-senpai, are you feeling okay?" 

Miyajima Sakura rubbed her slightly wet legs, and her empty Hanaya longed for the hot little Aoki. 

Her eyes flashed with pink hearts, and she gasped, "Well…" 

"In this case, we don't have to wait until next time; let's continue practicing now." 

After he spoke, Aoki reached out his hands to grab the slender ankles and spread the round, straight legs.

Amidst the girl's happy moans, the two began a new round of practice. 

…

…

Sunday (Monday).

Aoki sat in the classroom, listened to the history teacher's mesmerizing lecture, and opened his personal panel. 

[Name: Uesugi Aoki] ★ 

[Talents: Intermediate Demonic Bloodline, Physical Mastery (Elemental), Sword Heart (Elemental), Eye of Insight, Mental Resistance, Mirror Reflection Crippled, Lightning Crippled] 

[Skills: Magic Extraction (Elemental), Close Combat (Elemental)] 

Looking at the talents and skills on the panel, he began to figure out how to improve his strength next. 

He didn't know what the upper limit of the Bitter Master template was, nor what level the Yellow Hairs or Tauren would be at their strongest. 

In the worst case, if the strength of Yellow-Hair and the Minotaur had no upper limit, Aoki never dared to slack off. 

He was afraid that one day his strength wouldn't be able to keep up, and he'd be forcibly brought to the destined destination of the suffering master again. 

Tanaka Hajime solved the issue.

In addition to helping Miyajima Sakura practice over the weekend, he also informed the Miyajima couple and Himejima Akeno about the news. 

Although Miyajima Sakura was no longer in danger, Miyajima Sosuke still had a great infatuation with Aoki and would occasionally bring him and Miyajima Sakura together. 

As for Miyajima Tsubaki, he could tell at a glance that Miyajima Sakura was exposed. As for who did it… 

Miyajima Sakura stayed at Aoki's house for a night

Who else could it be if not him? 

Still, Miyajima Tsubaki was secretly dating Aoki.

As long as the two didn't admit it personally, she pretended not to know. 

There was no concept of competing with her own daughter for a man. 

At Himejima Akeno's, Rias didn't know what she was busy with, but she still hadn't returned. 

Hearing Aoki say that the matter was settled, she didn't take back the piece of paper with the special magic circle drawn on it. 

She was just informed that starting next week, regardless of whether Rias returned or not, she would begin to assign tasks. 

Saving the panel, Aoki probably had an idea. 

First of all, at Gosha Academy, the most troublesome Minotaur had been dealt with, and so many lovely heroines were invisible resources. 

Then there was Kendo.

He set aside some time every day to go to the Miyajima Gymnasium, study with Miyajima Sakura for a while, and try to achieve enlightenment as soon as possible. 

Hmm...

If he didn't get entangled with Miyuna and Miyajima Tsubaki by staying too long, Aoki wouldn't mind practicing kendo for a while.
