Chapter 128: This Wenren Shengzai Is Also a Monster!

«BOOM——————!»

Dongtang Kui was tall and imposing, yet his speed was astonishingly swift; Shengzai had always believed that, purely in terms of physical ability, Huzhang was the strongest.

But when Shengzai, arms crossed before his chest, took Dongtang Kui’s punch head-on, he realized the man was also a monster of the same caliber as Huzhang .

Without using cursed energy, Dongtang Kui had merely relied on pure physical strength to shove Shengzai back two full steps.

Shengzai, having taken the punch head-on, did not merely endure it—he reversed his arms, seized Dongtang Kui’s limb, executed a shoulder throw, and flung the massive man flying.

«Miss Zhenxi, you all go ahead. I’ll handle this guy.»

Hearing Shengzai’s words, Zhenxi and the others did not object—they still did not know that Kyoto Branch’s true target was Huzhang .

Dongtang Kui was Kyoto Branch’s strongest third-year student, a complete monster; if they fought him one-on-one, none of them had any confidence they could win.

Likewise, Shengzai had already proven his strength thoroughly during his entrance examination.

If Tokyo Branch must send someone to stand against Dongtang Kui, then without question, Shengzai was the most suitable candidate.

Because to Zhenxi and the others, Shengzai was also a monster of the same type as Dongtang Kui.

Dongtang Kui, violently thrown by Shengzai, paid no mind to Zhenxi and the others leaving—he stared at Shengzai with burning battle lust: «My instinct was right—you’re no coward hiding in the shadows.»

Previously, Zhenyi and the others had assumed Shengzai’s ability to appear silently beside them stemmed from his Shushi .

But after this brief clash, Dongtang Kui was certain: Shengzai was no shadow-dwelling sneak.

Such reflexes and agility—he was clearly one of the same kind as me!

«THUD——————!»

Shengzai shattered the ground beneath his foot and shot forward like an arrow loosed from a bow, closing the distance to Dongtang Kui in an instant.

Seeing Shengzai blast toward him, Dongtang Kui punched back with equal fervor; their arms blurred into afterimages, colliding repeatedly in midair.

«Ora! Ora! Ora! Ora!»

«Da Mu! Da Mu! Da Mu! Da Mu!»

Fists rained like a storm, blurring into high-speed afterimages as they clashed between them, each impact producing sonic booms; violent air currents erupted around the two, cracking the ground beneath them.

When Shengzai’s fist slammed toward Dongtang Kui’s face, Dongtang Kui’s fist struck Shengzai’s abdomen—both men were flung backward simultaneously.

Shengzai, struck in the abdomen, plowed two parallel furrows dozens of meters long across the ground; Dongtang Kui, struck in the face, spun violently through the air before crashing into a tree thick enough for two men to embrace.

Xi Gong Tao, seated on a broom flying above, monitoring from the sky, stared blankly at the battle between Shengzai and Dongtang Kui.

As a fellow third-year student of Kyoto Branch, no one knew better than her just how monstrous Dongtang Kui’s physical ability truly was.

Though Dongtang Kui’s Shushi was not based on physical prowess, hand-to-hand combat was his standard fighting style.

Frankly, even without using Shushi , the combined strength of all other Kyoto Branch students would still likely lose to Dongtang Kui in a physical fight.

Yet this Dongtang Kui had just fought to a standstill with a first-year from Tokyo Branch!

Dongtang Kui was a third-year—while his opponent was merely a brand-new freshman. If this was the case, didn’t it mean the newcomer was even more of a monster than Dongtang Kui?

Upon realizing this, Xi Gong Tao immediately sent the video she’d just recorded to Kyoto Branch’s group chat via her phone.

Though they were cursed energy users, they still lived in modern society—sometimes technology was simply more convenient than Shushi .

When the other Kyoto Branch students saw Xi Gong Tao’s video, their first thought was, without exception, identical to hers.

That this person named Wenrenshengzai was simply a monster—they had never before seen a student who could trade blows with Dongtang Kui barehanded.

No matter what his Shushi was, his absurd physical ability alone was enough for Kyoto Branch students to classify him as a high-risk target.

«Only a first-year, yet possessing such physical strength—and matching Dongtang Kui blow for blow…»

An Geji also saw the video Xi Gong Tao had posted in the same group chat, and her expression toward Wu Yuewu grew even darker.

Such an exceptional talent should have been Kyoto Branch’s student—now it had gone to that bastard Wu Yuewu!

«His physical ability and combat skills are indeed rare, but if he uses cursed energy, this child wouldn’t stand a chance against Dongtang Kui.»

«Especially with Dongtang Kui’s Shushi —‘Unrighteous Game’—it’s the perfect counter to this kind of cursed energy user. With his current strength, he won’t be able to stop Dongtang Kui.»

An Geji couldn’t help but speak up, irritated by Wu Yuewu’s smug expression.

No matter how strong one’s physical ability, for cursed energy users, it remains merely auxiliary; battles between sorcerers depend far more on cursed energy and Shushi .

Dongtang Kui’s strength wasn’t just his physique—his cursed energy, Shushi , and control over cursed energy were all exceptional among his peers.

In short, An Geji believed Shengzai was talented, but he had only recently entered the cursed energy academy; even if his physical strength rivaled Dongtang Kui’s, his cursed energy and Shushi surely couldn’t match those of a prodigy from a prestigious lineage.

«No, no, no—An Geji, you’re vastly underestimating Shengzai. The physical ability you’ve seen is merely the tip of the iceberg.»

«Frankly, even I don’t know his true limits—his growth rate is simply too astonishing.»

«So astonishing that every time I see him, he’s advanced as much as an ordinary person would in months—or even years.»

«Let me tell you this: Shengzai has fought Ryoumen Sukuna twice, and each time Sukuna fought to kill him.»

«Yet in both cases, Shengzai survived—and Sukuna gained nothing from him. What does that mean? I think you all understand perfectly.»
