Chapter 129

"Fought against Ryomen Sukuna twice, and managed to survive from his hands..."

It must be said, Satoru Gojo's words truly shocked both Watching Ange and Gakuganji to the core.

Surviving a battle with someone might not sound like a big deal, but it all depends on who that opponent is!

Ryomen Sukuna is the King of Curses from a thousand years ago; countless powerful sorcerers challenged him during the golden age of jujutsu, yet how many managed to survive him? Let alone doing it twice!

If she didn't know that Satoru Gojo wouldn't lie about such things, Watching Ange would have even thought the other party was bragging.

Because even if the current Ryomen Sukuna isn't at his peak, his strength is still not something an ordinary Special Grade Cursed Spirit can compare to.

For a jujutsu novice who just enrolled to be able to escape the clutches of Ryomen Sukuna twice—this is something one could brag about for a lifetime in the jujutsu world!

"Such words might fool a brat, but don't try to deceive me. You are desperately hyping up this kid merely to take the opportunity to claim that Ryomen Sukuna's current threat level is low, hoping to make me and the others change our minds."

Compared to Watching Ange, who doesn't have a good relationship with Satoru Gojo but understands his character well, Gakuganji sneered at Satoru Gojo's words, even believing the other party was stirring up trouble.

It is ridiculous to imply that even a brat can toy with Ryomen Sukuna repeatedly, while they, the jujutsu elite, fear Sugimura Yuji Itadori like a tiger.

However, just as the old man Gakuganji began to mock Satoru Gojo, another video sent by Momo Nishimiya to the group chat directly silenced the few people present.

Because Aoi Todo in the video, compared to the previous light sparring, was now clearly taking it completely seriously and had even begun using Cursed Energy.

And Wen Shengzai, who was fighting against him, also used Cursed Energy to fight in order to counter him.

Because Cursed Energy was used, the intensity of the battle between the two escalated once again. As the two traded fist for fist, every time their fists, wrapped in Cursed Energy, collided in the air, large areas of cracks appeared on the ground.

Those huge rocks and the surrounding large trees were simply as fragile as tofu and building blocks in their intense hand-to-hand combat.

In the video, Wen Shengzai's upper garment had already been shredded in the intense brawl, revealing his upper body with streamlined muscles.

Compared to Aoi Todo's burly physique, Wen Shengzai was clearly slightly leaner, yet Wen Shengzai's physical disadvantage was not reflected at all in the battle.

Aoi Todo's application of Cursed Energy was already quite proficient. Compared to most sorcerers who treat Cursed Energy as a force within their bodies, Aoi Todo had already treated Cursed Energy as naturally as his own blood and breath.

In all fairness, regarding the proficiency of using Cursed Energy, Wen Shengzai was indeed inferior to Aoi Todo.

After all, who knows how long the other party had been a sorcerer, while Wen Shengzai had only been awakening and using Cursed Energy for how long?

But if proficiency is insufficient, one can use techniques to compensate. This point, for Wen Shengzai who shares power systems from multiple worlds, is something ordinary people can never reach.

Aoi Todo used Cursed Energy as naturally as breathing, while Wen Shengzai played with tricks in the way he used Cursed Energy.

Striking with Cursed Energy in the form of "Fa Jin," directly producing an internal force effect, breaking through the outer defense, and heavily striking the opponent's internal organs—Wen Shengzai calls this "Collapse Fist."

Concentrating Cursed Energy at one point, and the moment the fist hits the opponent, directly detonating the Cursed Energy on the fist to deal tons of critical damage—Wen Shengzai calls this "Rigid Fist."

Using Cursed Energy internally to stimulate body cells, enhancing his own speed in a short time, making attacks more fierce—this is called "Swift Fist" by Wen Shengzai.

Especially, besides various Cursed Energy application techniques, at the end of the video, Wen Shengzai also drew a Cursed Tool long sword and, with a single Cursed Energy slash, sent Aoi Todo, who was defending with both hands in front of him, flying several kilometers away!

The power of that Cursed Energy slash, before hitting Aoi Todo, not only left a gully dozens of meters long on the ground, but the surrounding trees were even cut in half just by being affected by the sword energy!

As for the condition of Aoi Todo, who was sent flying by a single slash in the video, Watching Ange and Gakuganji did not know, but having witnessed the battle in the video, Watching Ange could no longer say that Wen Shengzai was a novice.

The Tokyo branch is simply incredibly lucky; the second year has Yuta Okkotsu who breaks the rules, and now the first year has such a Aunt Wenren Wen Shengzai.

Just from the battle just now, it can be seen that what Satoru Gojo said before—that this new student named Wen Shengzai could survive Ryomen Sukuna's hands twice—definitely did not rely on luck, but on solid strength!

And the old man Gakuganji, who witnessed Wen Shengzai's strength, also clenched his fists with an ugly expression at this moment.

Because the students on the Tokyo branch side are so strong, can the mission he previously assigned to the Kyoto branch students still be completed smoothly?

In fact, the students on the Kyoto branch side, after seeing Wen Shengzai's strength, also began to hesitate whether to continue to carry out the mission according to Principal Gakuganji's orders.

Originally, they all thought that the Tokyo branch, missing Yuta Okkotsu, could not be the opponent of their Kyoto branch, and assassinating Sugimura Yuji Itadori would just be an easy task.

But no one expected that the new student from the Tokyo branch was simply too fierce to be human!

At the same time as Aoi Todo was sent flying by Wen Shengzai's sword, a laser-like beam also shot out from the forest, heading straight for Wen Shengzai's back.

However, facing such a sneak attack, Wen Shengzai seemed to have expected it long ago, directly extending one hand to instantly shatter the Great Exorcism Cannon shot by Mechamaru.

While Mechamaru's "Great Exorcism Cannon" was shattered by Wen Shengzai with his bare hands, Kasumi Miwa, with long blue hair flowing and holding a Cursed Tool long sword, also dashed in front of Wen Shengzai.

"New Shadow Style Simple Domain—Draw Sword!"

However, facing Kasumi Miwa's swordsmanship, Wen Shengzai easily raised the long sword in his other hand and blocked it.

"A very excellent sword-drawing technique, but there are too many unnecessary movements, and although you clearly used domain enhancement, the power is somewhat unsatisfactory."

Looking at her long sword that couldn't advance at all, and Wen Shengzai's calm commentary, Kasumi Miwa also clearly felt the huge gap between herself and the other party at this moment.

"You guys go finish the mission first, we'll be responsible for stopping him."

Mechamaru, looking at Kasumi Miwa who had already fought with Wen Shengzai, flew forward to help without hesitation, and said to Mai Zenin and others.

According to Momo Nishimiya, who was monitoring from the air, in order to exorcise more Cursed Spirits, the people from the Tokyo branch had already adopted a strategy of splitting up.

Even if he and Kasumi Miwa stayed behind to block Wen Shengzai, the others from the Kyoto branch should be more than enough to deal with Ryomen Sukuna's vessel.

After all, it's impossible for every new student of the Tokyo branch to be a monster like Wen Shengzai, right?
