Chapter 741: First Bloom Sword Practice Record (15)

Jujutsu Kaisen.

Achoo—!

While savoring a vanilla-flavored daifuku, Wu Tiao Wu suddenly let out a huge sneeze.

"Strange, why does my lower half feel so chilly…"

He didn't know why, but when he saw Ling Sha mention that someone had blocked pain perception and fought with only the upper body, a cold wind blew from behind him, making him feel oddly cold.

Could it be an illusion?

"Even the Celestial Boat people dare to do this; it's the absurd vitality that gives them confidence," sighed Xiao Zi, who was in charge of rear healing. "But if one blocks pain in a fight against Sukuna, they'd probably remain unaware of when their head gets sliced off."

Ri Xia Bu Du Ye nodded: "Pain perception is a person's brake; if the brake fails, the car will only crash."

"Yeah~ so I'll keep the reversal technique fully active," Wu Tiao Wu shoved the soft daifuku into his mouth; compared to others' tension, he, as the vanguard, felt much more relaxed.

——

"Ugh! Stop talking, I won't eat it, let the pain be pain!"

At that moment, Bai Lu noticed Jiao Qiu silently standing behind, doing nothing, and curiously asked, "Doctor Jiao Qiu, Jiao Qiu! San Yue Xiaojie is about to duel Si Ke Te, what are you doing?"

Jiao Qiu kept his smile, slowly turned his head: "Ah, sorry. I just heard San Yue Xiaojie was planning to use a pill to deal with Si Ke Te, so I made a few arrangements."

After speaking, he sighed, "Alas, everyone's medical theory is still imperfect. Combat ability improvement is relative; as long as the enemy is weak and I'm strong, that's enough. Please broaden your thinking."

"Could there be a secret remedy in Radiant Light's medicine that could lend me a hand?"

"Exactly, this is the deepest secret of the Radiant Azure 'Finger-Pointing Division'—the medicine-food unity technique! If it weren't for fighting for San Yue Xiaojie, I would never share it."

At the mention of another school's artistic theory essence, Ling Sha perked up her ears. She tilted her face slightly, trying to listen carefully.

San Yue Qi guessed lightly, "You... are you planning to give Si Ke Te a laxative???"

Ling Sha, with a disdainful expression, quickly turned her head away.

Jiao Qiu was startled: "... How did you know? Hmph, my scheming is still not deep enough."

"How despicable, 'myself' the doctor!"

Ling Sha hummed lightly, "Don't compare that guy with us."

Now even San Yue Qi couldn't bear it any longer, hesitating, "Um... Doctor Jiao Qiu, isn't this a bit improper? Shouldn't we be more upright... maybe we shouldn't do this?"

"Huh? You disagree? But it's already too late; Mo Ze has already taken care of it."

——

Attack on Titan.

"Th-this is so despicable?!"

Eren almost doubted his hearing; was the duel really settled in such a simple way?

First he was teased by Tail Uncle, and now a laxative... he suddenly felt a bit of sympathy for Si Ke Te.

He sensed the atmosphere would be quite pungent during the match.

Eren instinctively covered his nose.

"But it must be said it's a very efficient choice; perhaps it's just a matter of perspective," A Er Min explained beside Jiao Qiu, "After all, Jiao Qiu's opponent is a bountiful spawn; quickly dealing with them fits his style better than a dignified, upright victory."

"Eren, Si Ke Te isn't a good guy anyway; letting him experience the Celestial Boat's methods seems fine," (he) let his head peek down from the upper bunk, "By the way, Eren, if you learn a few Celestial Boat sword techniques and become a titan, wouldn't you be unbeatable?"

Eren laughed awkwardly, "Unbeatable, ahaha... are you sure you can be unbeatable in front of Captain Levi?"

Not being sliced into fine strips is already good enough, right?

Besides, after turning into a titan there is no suitably sized weapon; even the most exquisite Celestial Boat sword technique can't be applied, whereas Mikasa and the others might actually kill giants more efficiently.

——

San Yue Qi was shocked: "Did you just look down at your phone to arrange Mo Ze... are all Radiant Azure people that proactive?!"

"Ah, it's time for the final battle; go duel Si Ke Te to the death! I have other matters, I'm leaving first."

After speaking, Jiao Qiu slipped away quickly, disappearing at once.

"He ran! Ah this this this, what do we do..."

Bai Lu spread her hands: "Alas, the wood has become a boat, San Yue Xiaojie, we have no choice but to go."

"Don't worry, we'll rescue Si Ke Te," Ling Sha sighed lightly, "Hope they're unharmed."

At this point, even if San Yue Qi warned Si Ke Te it would be too late, so they could only head to Jinren Xiang.

Meanwhile, Si Ke Te, having emerged from the 'Lone Wolf' shadows, regained his fighting spirit; this time he double‑checked before departing, making sure there was no green‑glowing threat letter in his pocket, then arrived at Jinren Xiang to fight.

Upon seeing San Yue Qi, Si Ke Te couldn't wait to speak first, "San Yue Qi, you finally arrived! You have no idea, you're already quite unpopular in Jinren Xiang."

"Unpopular? Who in Jinren Xiang wouldn't like my lively, cute little San Yue?"

Si Ke Te, hands on hips, laughed heartily, "Haha, I've heard it; they're only intimidated by Yan Qing and Yunli's overwhelming power, daring to be angry but not speak!"

"Let me tell you, a warrior just now secretly found me, encouraged me to bravely defeat you, to vent a fierce spirit for the villagers of Jinren Xiang! Moreover, he gave me and my brothers a huge pot of medicinal broth, so after we drink it we'll be revitalized to tackle you!"

San Yue Qi forced a awkward laugh, "Haha, that's really… a warm‑hearted warrior..."

"Have you finished drinking?" Xing asked.

"Of course we finished. That medicinal broth was delicious! I never expected in the cold‑hearted Luofu to taste such a steaming, gut‑warming soup—truly unexpected."

——

Genshin Impact.

"Ai Li Si, are you sure we should watch this while drinking tea?"

Ni Ke slightly frowned, as the scene now appearing on the screen seemed mismatched with the afternoon tea party atmosphere.

"No, to be precise it's not mismatched; she even has no appetite for the dessert cake Ai Li Si prepared in advance—it's a bit... oddly disgusting."

After all, we already anticipated what would happen next.
