Crossover Anime: Destroying Tokyo by One Person

Chapter 9 Achieving Extraordinary Success

The next instant, Xu Yuan felt a surge of energy appear out of thin air within his body.

This energy is scorching and violent!

It surged through his limbs and bones like lava!

Muscle tissue was easily torn apart!

Then it was instantly reassembled!

Destruction and rebirth circulate continuously within his body.

A sensation that was painful, itchy, and numb surged violently from the depths of his bones!

It felt as if countless steel needles were constantly moving around.

Xu Yuan was caught off guard and almost fainted from the pain!

He fell onto the damp grass by the river, clenching his teeth and curling up in a ball, trembling all over.

The dead of night in the cold winter was completely silent.

Nobody passes by here.

There was no sound of birds either.

A biting wind swept across the river, with the occasional soft sound of flowing water.

Small and broken.

This made the painful groan all the more distinct.

After enduring for three minutes, Xu Yuan's consciousness began to blur, but just as he was about to faint, his mind suddenly felt as if it had been pricked by a needle.

He regained consciousness.

[Getting used to pain helps in combat.]

"I……"

At that moment, Xu Yuan really wanted to curse.

Or, to put it another way, curse this damn system.

But he had no strength left, not even the energy to have a single thought.

Another three minutes passed.

Finally, the violent energy gradually dissipated.

[Physical strength has been upgraded to Tier 1]

Xu Yuan curled up on the ground, panting heavily.

His face was deathly pale, and his eyes were red-rimmed.

His clothes were already soaked with sweat.

An intense, lingering sense of unease surged forth from the depths of his heart.

But then, he suddenly remembered something and quickly stood up to take off his clothes.

However, a system notification popped up.

The other party is dead.

Xu Yuan paused for a moment, then sighed.

Today's low temperature is 6 degrees Celsius.

If the temperature were higher, say ten or even twenty degrees Celsius, the person might be able to hold on for a few more minutes.

Unfortunately, it's the dead of winter now.

Xu Yuan didn't feel guilty about not being able to save that person.

I just feel a little regretful.

He has done his best.

We can't expect him, with the physical capabilities of an average person, to jump into the icy river in the middle of the night to save someone, can we?

He's not that selfless.

"Is it dead...? Then let's fish it out."

As Xu Yuan took off his clothes, he said, "Perfect timing to try out the [Death Contract]. Hopefully, it's not a woman."

They took off their clothes and shoes and threw them on the ground.

Xu Yuan took a few steps back, sprinted a bit, took a deep breath, and then plunged into the river.

Previously, his physical strength was "mortal".

It is now "first-order".

This means he has achieved something extraordinary.

Although he has only just entered the first level, he has already transcended the realm of mortals and truly stepped into the realm of the extraordinary.

The icy cold river water covering his body, which would be a chilling sight for an ordinary person, only made him feel a little cold.

Swimming in the river, he could clearly feel the surging power within his muscles.

Putting everything else aside, if he were to participate in the Olympic swimming events now, he would definitely win a championship.

Rhythm, technique, posture?

It doesn't matter at all.

Great efforts can produce miracles.

In addition to his strength, his five senses have also become far more acute than before.

The eyes can see even in dark river water.

No sound, however faint, escapes his ears.

Xu Yuan even had a feeling.

Holding his breath underwater for ten or twenty minutes is no difficult task for him now.

Even if he has not received relevant training.

He is no longer an ordinary person.

Swimming to where the man had last struggled, Xu Yuan searched the area and quickly found the body, dragging it ashore.

The other person was a teenager, around ten years old, wearing a school uniform, probably a high school student.

Xu Yuan took out the [Death Contract] from his inventory.

The "Death Contract" is an old, yellow parchment that has a magical feel to it.

If it were something from the cultivation realm, it would probably have been refined instantly in this situation.

However, things on the magic side are more geared towards trading.

Holding the "Death Contract" in his hand, Xu Yuan vaguely understood how to use it.

He followed his senses and channeled a wisp of energy into it.

The "Death Contract" began to emit a faint glow and slowly floated up.

A white quill pen appeared in the air.

It seems to be waiting to be written.

At the same time, a phantom figure appeared beside the boy's corpse.

Its appearance is exactly the same as the corpse.

It was clearly the soul of the person who had recently passed away.

The boy looked surprised and looked down at his illusory, transparent body.

Then he looked at the fleshy body lying on the ground.

Then he turned to look at the old parchment and quill pen floating in the air, and finally looked at Xu Yuan.

"Are you a magician?" His expression suddenly became excited. "Did you summon me?"

They truly are young people of modern society.

Having read too many novels and watched too many anime, people never ask questions like "What's going on here?"

Before Xu Yuan could answer, the boy was already excitedly gesturing and dancing.

Good heavens!

There really is magic in this world!!!

That's absolutely incredible!!!

Thinking about all the novels, comics, and anime he had stayed up all night reading, he suddenly had countless questions he wanted to ask the young magician in front of him.

Xu Yuan interrupted him without any politeness: "Shut up."

"But I haven't said anything yet..." the boy said, sounding a little aggrieved.

"But you still need to shut up," Xu Yuan said.

The boy felt wronged, thinking that the magician in front of him was too domineering.

"I don't have much time."

Xu Yuan quickly said, "This magical contract can only be used within ten minutes of a person's death."

"You've been dead for a few minutes."

"I don't know the exact number of minutes, but we have to do it as soon as possible."

"Simply put, you are dead."

"I have summoned your soul."

"I can grant your wish, and in return, I will replicate your appearance, figure, and voice."

"So, is there anything you haven't finished wishing for?"

The boy was taken aback: "Copy my appearance, figure, and voice? Sorcerer, you mean...?"

"I need a new identity. What's your wish? How about I help you get revenge?"

"..."

"Why aren't you saying anything? How about I give you money?"

"What would I need money for if I'm already dead?"

"Leave it to your parents."

My parents have passed away...

"Then leave it to your grandparents."

"My grandparents have also passed away..."

"..."

Xu Yuan frowned.

Good grief, what do we do now?

Don't you want anything?

"How did you die?"

"suicide……"

"There's always a reason for suicide, isn't there?"

"..."

"You're already dead, what's there to be afraid of?"

These words seemed to awaken the boy.

His emotions suddenly surged with intense emotion: "I...I want to avenge my mother!"
