Chapter 52: Grand Rank Martial Arts, Cursed Technique High School!

For the rest of the time, Li An and Zen'in Maki kept sparring using various moves.

They dismantled and countered each other's techniques, learning from one another.

When tired, they rested a while, then continued sparring.

Relying on the god's powerful learning ability, as well as the special blessing the Martial God divinity granted to learning martial arts, Li An quickly mastered all the martial arts of the Divine World.

Including the Sword King's swordsmanship, as well as Luo Hao's "Shadowless Art," "Earth-Shrinking Divine Stride," "Flying Phoenix Twelve Divine Palms," "Star-Sucking Soul-Stealing Palm," "Eight Wastes Six Directions I Alone Stand Supreme Art," and so on—he learned them all.

Moreover, he fused all the martial arts together and integrated them into an all-encompassing, brand-new martial art.

Li An named this martial art "Grand Rank Martial Arts"!

Of course, Zen'in Maki's progress was also very great.

Having a master like Li An feeding her moves, and even demonstrating over a thousand different martial arts before her—covering all kinds of weapons, fists, and kicks.

This also greatly improved Zen'in Maki's martial arts, and she even learned five unique skills from Li An: Luo Hao's "Shadowless Art," "Earth-Shrinking Divine Stride," "Flying Phoenix Twelve Divine Palms," "Star-Sucking Soul-Stealing Palm," and "Eight Wastes Six Directions I Alone Stand Supreme Art"!

However, she had only just begun learning them and possessed no real power yet.

Moreover, "Earth-Shrinking Divine Stride" involved space; she had only memorized the cultivation method and had not yet learned it.

Zen'in Maki had learned so much from Li An—both sorcery and martial arts.

She felt bad freeloading, so she passed down the Zen'in family's inherited martial arts to Li An as well.

Although they weren't as precious as the sorcery and martial arts Li An taught her, they were still a token of her regard.

An entire afternoon passed in their sparring.

At half past five in the evening, Li An's phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at the number—it was a call from Kurahashi Kyouko.

Li An answered the call.

"Hello, Li An, where are you?"

"Maki and I are at the basketball court near Sunset Park."

"What are you doing at a basketball court? Did you teach Maki new sorcery?"

"No, I didn't teach sorcery today. I taught her some martial arts instead."

"Oh, martial arts, then that's fine."

"By the way, what about you? When I went back at noon, why was no one home?"

"Didn't you tell me to take Li Ying out for a stroll?"

"I only meant for you to stroll around for one morning, yet you wandered around for a whole day?"

"Wasn't it fun, so we visited a few more places. Forget that—are you coming back for dinner?"

"We're not going back. Maki and I will just eat outside."

"Fine, don't come back then. And here I went and bought all sorts of tasty things for you. Since you're not coming back, we'll just eat them ourselves!"

After saying that, Kurahashi Kyouko didn't wait for Li An's reply and immediately hung up.

Li An smiled, shook his head, and tucked his phone into his pocket.

Zen'in Maki, who had listened to the entire conversation, said somewhat speechlessly: "Look, my clothes are soaked with sweat. How am I supposed to eat out like this?"

At this moment, her clothes were all damp and clinging to her body.

The bangs and side hair on her forehead were the same, plastered to her face by sweat.

Looking at her like this, it was obvious she had just been working out—going straight to a restaurant to eat was indeed improper.

"Then let's go back, take a shower, and change clothes. I was just thinking about visiting the Cursed Technique High School anyway," Li An said with a smile.

"You want to go to the Cursed Technique High School? That's great! I'll introduce my classmates to you!" Zen'in Maki said happily upon hearing that Li An was going to her school.

"Sounds good!" Li An nodded.

He knew the classmates Zen'in Maki mentioned were Okkotsu Yuuta, Inumaki Toge, Xiong Mao, and the others.

According to the Cursed Technique storyline, the protagonist Itadori Yuuji wouldn't enroll until next year, while the deuteragonist Fushiguro Megumi should have already enrolled early.

Li An wasn't entirely sure about this either; after all, when he watched the anime in his previous life, he hadn't paid attention to such details.

After the two tidied up a bit, Li An released the "Curtain" and they took a taxi to the Tokyo Metropolitan Cursed Technique High School.

Although this school was said to be in Tokyo, it wasn't built in the bustling city, but rather in the great mountains on the outskirts of Tokyo.

In Li An's view, this place was even more remote than Chiba City.

The only advantage was the lush greenery and fresh air.

At a glance, it was all peaks and forests.

Seeing this kind of environment, Li An suddenly felt that attending school here wouldn't be bad.

The car quickly arrived at the school gate. After Zen'in Maki paid, she grabbed Li An and got out of the car.

"Let's go in!" she said, somewhat unable to wait.

Li An smiled, gave an "mm," and followed her into the Cursed Technique High School.

As the two passed the sports field, they saw a person and a panda sparring in martial arts.

Upon seeing Zen'in Maki, they both stopped.

"Maki, you're back." Xiong Mao smiled and waved at Zen'in Maki, but when he saw Li An, he asked curiously: "Maki, who is that person next to you?"

On the night Xia Youjie launched the Hundred Demons Night Parade in Shinjuku and Kyoto, although Xiong Mao had seen Li An display his might,

Li An had later gone to the Divine World, and after becoming a god, his physique and looks had both changed, so Xiong Mao didn't recognize him at first.

"Dummy, he's Adagaki Li An!" Zen'in Maki introduced with a smile.

"What, he's the super powerhouse from that night!" Xiong Mao immediately showed a shocked expression.

Not only him, but even Inumaki Toge was stunned.

They hadn't expected Zen'in Maki to actually bring this amazing person back to the Cursed Technique High School.

Li An, seeing the surprised expressions on both of them, smiled and waved, saying, "Hello!"

As for Inumaki Toge and Xiong Mao, Li An still held a strong fondness for them.

In his past life, while watching Jujutsu Kaisen, there were many people who made him feel displeased, but there were also characters he quite liked.

Zenin Maki, Okkotsu Yuta, Inumaki Toge, and Xiong Mao from their generation were considered his favorite group.

"Y-You... hello, my name is Panda, but you can also call me Xiong Mao!" Xiong Mao said cautiously.

There was no help for it; the impression Li An had left on him that night was too deep.

He had devoured all curses with a single move, along with that god-like pressure.

Such a powerful figure, one truly dare not offend!

"Kelp!" Inumaki Toge also said politely.

Li An possessed the basic ability of a God-Slayer, "Thousand Tongues," allowing him to understand every language in the world; even communication with small animals was possible.

Although Inumaki Toge's onigiri language was a niche language he created himself, it could still be understood.

"Xiong Mao and Inumaki Toge, right? You can call me Li An," Li An said again.

"Huh? You can understand Inumaki's onigiri language?" Zenin Maki asked with a look of shock.

Let alone her; even Xiong Mao and Inumaki Toge himself wore expressions of surprise at that moment.

"Of course. I have a skill called 'Thousand Tongues'; as long as it is a language, I can understand it and speak it," Li An simply explained his little skill.

"I'm so envious of you, to even have such a skill!" Zenin Maki said with a look of envy.
