Sorry for the late update!

"Wait a minute. Let me undo my seals first. At my full strength, my body can withstand more damage."

Jiro suddenly stopped Yuuki.

"Undo your seals??"

Hearing this, Yuuki suddenly remembered that Jiro still had a number of seals on him. These seals had been placed on him by Acacia when they first met.

After all, the Jiro of that time was incredibly wild. In the past, he had a name: Jiro the Rampaging Beast.

He had been raised by the Wolf King, Guinness, so his body was filled with the wildness of a wolf. On top of that, he had eaten a large amount of Red Nitro.

Eating them had caused his cells to perfectly fuse with his Gourmet Cells, turning him into a living Appetite Demon. Both his combat power and his personality were incredibly fierce, and he couldn’t even control his own strength.

When Acacia saw this, he had directly used Knocking to seal him. He then took him as a Student and taught him Knocking techniques and the ways of humanity. After all, no matter what, Jiro was still a human.

Though he had learned Knocking and could now control his power, he still kept the seals.

Now, since he was going to release the damage in his body, it was naturally better to undo them. That way, his body could withstand more power.

"That’s right. I have seals on me that Teacher Acacia put on. Though I’ve learned Knocking and can undo them myself, I won’t undo them unless necessary."

With that, Jiro began to force the "nails" out of his body. As they fell, his appearance underwent a substantial change.

It could be said that at this moment, he was transforming into something non-human. His head grew larger, his mouth sprouted sharp fangs, and his eyes became pure white. The Jiro of now was a complete monster.

....

"Hiss... what did he turn into??"

Seeing this, everyone except for Setsuno and Yuuki, including Yosaku, couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath. After all, only Setsuno knew about this.

Yuuki only knew because he had read the original story. Anyone seeing this for the first time would definitely be scared. After all, the Jiro of now no longer looked human.

Though he was still humanoid, he had absolutely no connection to a human.

Ting... ting...

As more nails were forced out and fell to the ground, Jiro’s appearance became even more terrifying. The meridians on his body seemed to grow outside his skin, and his hands turned into sharp claws.

"Don’t worry, this is a normal process. Jiro’s body is a bit different from normal people’s, so the process of undoing the seals is a bit scary. It’ll be fine once the seals are completely removed!"

Setsuno knew Jiro’s situation, so she explained it to the group. Hearing this, they finally let out a sigh of relief. It couldn’t be helped—Jiro was too terrifying.

....

"Finally back to my full strength. I don’t even remember how long it’s been since I’ve been in this state."

Returning to his peak, Jiro had reverted to the stage of a young, strong man. At this moment, he and Teppei looked like brothers.

"ROARRRRRRRRRRRR!"

Just as Jiro recovered, the appearances of Toriko and the others suddenly changed. Half of Toriko’s body turned red, and ferocious spikes grew out. His teeth and eyes also changed.

It was clear that his Appetite Demon had come out. It wasn’t just him—half of Sunny also turned into the form of a hair demon, and Teppei turned into a plant body.

Even Yosaku’s body changed. And Setsuno’s body was radiating a pink light.

The only one present who didn’t change was Yuuki, because he had no Appetite Demon.

But he could also feel the terrifying aura emanating from Jiro. Perhaps because he had just returned to his peak, Jiro hadn’t suppressed his aura in time.

The Appetite Demons residing in their hosts, sensing this terrifying threat, immediately jumped out.

They wouldn’t let their hosts just die like that.

....

At the same time, every person in the Human World with a bit of strength sensed this terrifying aura. Whether human or beast, all who felt it froze on the spot.

"WHAT IS THIS PRESENCE??"

At IGO headquarters, Mansam was stunned when he sensed it. His body immediately entered a combat state. But because his strength was relatively high and he was far from the source, his Appetite Demon didn’t come out.

But this aura was too scary, which caused many people in the IGO to have stress reactions.

"Everyone, don’t worry! It’s not an enemy’s aura!"

Just as they were in a panic, Ichiryu’s voice came. His voice was like a calming pillar. Hearing it, everyone let out a sigh of relief.

"Jiro has undone his seals? What could possibly make him do that in the Human World??"

Ichiryu was also completely baffled. He greeted Mansam and then headed directly towards the source of Jiro’s aura. He needed to find out what was going on.

....

On the other side, in the Gourmet Corp, the same scene was playing out. Midora’s aura also erupted, covering the Gourmet Corp and preventing any problems—

Though he was also very puzzled as to what was happening, he didn’t rush over to check like Ichiryu. After all, his relationship with Ichiryu and Jiro wasn’t great right now.

Though he knew that if he were willing to go back, his two brothers would definitely accept him, when he thought of what he had done back then, he was unwilling to return.

After all, in his eyes, Froese had died because of him back then.

His situation was somewhat similar to Azami Nakiri’s in Food Wars. It was clearly their own problem, but in the end, they were the ones who caused a series of incidents.

....

"Did you all come out because of my aura? GET BACK INSIDE!"

Jiro roared. Instantly, the changes on Toriko and the others’ bodies stopped. But each and every one of them collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

After all, though an Appetite Demon could help its host fight, the consumption was also very large. In the original story, Toriko had spent some time in the Gourmet World and his strength had improved a lot.

In the late stages of the story, after eating six or seven of Acacia’s Full Course Menu—he could barely support the Red and Blue Demons fighting at the same time.

The consumption of an Appetite Demon coming out was quite large. Yosaku’s situation was a bit better. Though the consumption was not small, he was a powerhouse who could enter the Gourmet World, so he wasn’t too affected.

He just had some cold sweat on his forehead, all from being scared.

....

"Sorry, sorry. It’s been a long time since I’ve been in this state, so it’s hard to control."

Jiro said with a grin. But at this moment, the way everyone looked at him had changed. This seemingly kind and amiable person... the aura he had just unleashed was not so kind and amiable.

"Jiro? Setsu? You’re all here? What happened? Why did you undo your seals!"

At this moment, President Ichiryu also arrived. For people of their strength—the massive Earth was like a back garden. Getting anywhere was quick.

"It’s you, Ichiryu. Right, the aura just now must have alarmed you all. It’s like this..."

Jiro told Ichiryu about Yuuki’s series of operations. After hearing it, Ichiryu fell silent. Because what Yuuki had done was indeed a bit too unreal.

Actually, Ichiryu’s Knocking proficiency had also reached a High-level, but he hadn’t learned Damage Knocking.

"Ichiryu, this human named Yuuki is truly unreal. To even think of such a method!"

At this moment, inside Ichiryu’s body, Don Slime was also a bit baffled. It was hard to imagine that a human, and a teenager at that, could do such a thing.

"He is indeed unreal. Both the permanent Food Immersion and the ability to undo the damage of Damage Knocking... it seems you can also learn Damage Knocking now."

Don Slime said. Before, Damage Knocking had a fatal flaw. But now, the sealed damage would automatically flow out. This was quite good. After a battle, you could rest for a while and then start a second one.

And most critically, you wouldn’t be injured and would always be in your peak state. And even if you accumulated too much damage, you could ask Yuuki for help. It could be said that because of Yuuki, the value of this move had become even higher.

"I’ll ask about it later. But for now, let’s see the results first!"

President Ichiryu didn’t leave but waited there. After all, Jiro was his junior, someone he treated as a real brother. He naturally couldn’t just leave now.

"Then let’s begin. Release more damage."

After Yuuki spoke, Jiro nodded and stuck his finger directly into his mouth.

"So the weakness of Damage Knocking is in that place?"

Because they knew the effect of Damage Knocking, after seeing this scene, they also knew that this was the weak point. They never thought it would be in the mouth.

As Jiro released the Damage Knocking, Yuuki’s hand also fiercely jabbed him. He performed a secondary Knock to release more damage, but not all at once.

If it were all released at once, Jiro would die.

PSSH!

The moment a large amount of damage was released, even Jiro’s terrifyingly strong body was hit by a powerful impact. Blood spurted out from his body.

It was a good thing this impact only acted on him. If it had acted on the outside world, the Human World would probably be gone.

Yuuki’s Life Energy was now continuously pouring into Jiro’s body, repairing it. Soon, his body returned to its peak state.

"WHAT A MIRACULOUS ABILITY! That last one should have released a tenth of the damage. Repeat the process ten times and it’ll all be gone!"

Jiro said with a pleasant surprise. Though he had expected it, experiencing it himself was completely different.

Ten times. Just ten times and the only hidden danger on his body would be gone. Though he felt no one could undo his Damage Knocking, having such a hidden danger was naturally something he was very concerned about.

"In that case, let’s continue!"

Ten times was no problem for Yuuki. Though healing Jiro required a lot of Life Energy, he had made a large amount of preparations for this. The Life Energy in his hands wasn’t just enough to heal Jiro ten times—even a hundred times would be no problem.

For this, he had absorbed the Life Energy of a large number of creatures. It was a good thing this was the world of Toriko. If it were another world, even draining an entire world probably wouldn’t be enough to heal Jiro so many times.

....

Ten times passed quickly.

The blood that had flowed out of Jiro had completely dyed the surroundings red.

This scene... it was many times more than the blood that had flowed out of Zoro in the neighboring world when he had taken on Luffy’s damage.

"Phew... it’s finally over. Ten serious injuries... I’ve never experienced so many serious injuries at once!"

At this moment, Jiro also felt completely relaxed. After all, the hidden danger on his body was eliminated.

"Congratulations. Now you have no hidden dangers. And you can use this move as you please. But Yuuki, your move is really something. To be able to heal Jiro’s injuries so easily."

Ichiryu was even more shocked by Yuuki’s methods. They were truly ridiculous.

"This is also a special ability of my Appetite Demon. But there’s one more thing to say, and that’s about the weakness of Damage Knocking."

"Before, the weakness was in your mouth. But now, you can move its location, move it to a place only you know."

Yuuki said. Damage Knocking would still have a weakness, but moving it was enough. At that time, even if Acacia attacked his mouth, it wouldn’t cause him to die.

After all, in the final battle, Jiro had taken a lot of damage. Though all that damage erupting at once wouldn’t necessarily kill him, it would definitely seriously injure him.

So, moving the weakness was a must. And only he could know its location.
