Chapter 81: Devil's Special Training Surprise Left at the End

Before coming to the village, Tenriko had good thoughts. She would definitely cherish this time and squeeze out her potential.

——But after seeing the training plan that Zhili took out, she found that she had not thought enough.

She pointed to the wake-up time and asked tremblingly, "Meditation starts at 5 o'clock, so what time should I get up?"

Gong Zhili smiled. "Summer mornings are cool. You'll wake up at 4:30, just in time for the cooler weather. After meditating, do some endurance running. When you're hungry, come home. I'll prepare a nutritious breakfast."

Ieiri Naoko also held a training schedule. She raised her hand and said, "Do I really have to follow the schedule? I don't think I'll need it."

Gong Zhili advised her, "It would be easier for Riko to persevere if you two were together. Besides, Nizo, didn't you say you wanted to research new cursed spirits? Don't you want to go to less dangerous sites in the future?"

Ieiri Shoko: "I regret saying those things now." She was not so curious anymore.

Gong Zhili: "I'll be with you the whole time, because some of the training will require me to help. Don't worry, I won't let you get hurt."

Tennen Riko hugged Ieiri Naoko's arm and said, "Senior, please say something!"

Ieiri Naoko's eyes fell on the training sheet and she asked, "Can I not participate in the close combat?"

Gong Zhili said cheerfully, "Glass, since you don't have a foundation, let's try long-distance running instead."

Ieiri Glass: "..."

She put down the list in her hand and said to Nakano, "Let's each take care of ourselves."

Riko almost burst into tears.

There were guests at home again, and the happiest ones were the children. When they heard about the special training, they all asked to join.

Gong Zhili also designed several training checklists for them and posted them on the headboards of their beds.

The new house has been completed, and Tennen Riko and Ieki Nozomi moved in first. The beds are very comfortable, but they still had to get up really early on the first day of training.

At 4:30 in the morning, the village was already half lit, the lake was quiet, the plants and animals had not yet woken up, and the creatures that walked at night also gradually stopped their activities. It was the quietest moment.

After getting herself ready, Tennenoriko stood on the terraced field, took a deep breath, and felt her mind gradually become clearer.

Ieiri Naoko was not as energetic as her. She read a little last night, and when she was called to get up today, she was half asleep in bed.

Gong Zhili, wearing sportswear and a whistle around his neck, looked energetic and said, "Let's go to the center of the lake to meditate first. I'll row the boat, and you sit on the boat and feel the changes in the magic power in the center of the lake."

Tennariko: "Why the center of the lake?"

Gong Zhili: "Because I placed Togen there, it seems to like it very much. It seems to be evolving into a special-grade cursed spirit. The change in its cursed power is very obvious. You can try to absorb the cursed power it emits."

Tenriko's face turned pale. "Special-grade cursed spirit? Why did it appear in the village?"

Gong Zhili: "Ah, don't worry, Tuogen is already my cursed spirit and will not attack humans."

After hearing her explanation, Chiriko's hands and feet gradually regained their warmth. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's amazing, Chiri."

She equated Chiri's ability with Senior Geto's technique.

Ieiri Naoko knew the difference: "Can the cursed spirits you subdued continue to evolve?"

Gong Zhili took them aboard and said, "Because the Togen is now part of my power, as long as my power continues to increase, it can continue to evolve."

Ieiri Naoko frowned unconsciously: "If the cursed spirit becomes more powerful..."

Gong Zhili smiled: "Are you afraid that the cursed spirits will rebel? No, they are a 'part' of me, just like my power will not betray me."

She can absorb these cursed spirits directly, or extract them from her power and shape them.

Tennariko and Nozomi sat on the boat and began to cross their legs according to Miya Chiri's instructions, trying to sense the surrounding cursed energy.

During the half-hour meditation in the morning, Nakano Riko almost fell asleep. Every time she felt like she was about to fall asleep, Miya Chiri would wake her up with a rolled-up newspaper.

"What kind of manga practice trick is this..." Tennenori touched her head and grimaced, but she still closed her eyes and continued to work hard.

Compared to meditation, which is still confusing at the moment, endurance running and spell power control are much simpler and more direct.

During the endurance run, they ran with the children. At first, it was fine. After all, Tennenori had undergone high-intensity training, and she knew what to pay attention to in endurance running. But as the distance increased, the ground under her feet kept draining the magic power from her body. Her body began to feel heavy, and her breathing became rapid. What was even more terrible was of course the constant loss of magic power. Her body and mind were under double consumption. Sweat soon soaked her training clothes, and her steps became heavier and heavier. Every time she lifted her legs, it felt like she was dragging a sandbag.

Sweat dripped from her forehead, blurring her vision. She raised her hand to wipe away the sweat and found Zhili and several children running beside her.

The senior schoolmate at home can no longer be seen and may have fallen behind, but, but are these children better than her?

Perhaps because her face looked extremely ugly at the moment, Nanako said worriedly, "Sister Chiri, Sister Riko seems to be in great pain."

Gong Zhili's breath was very steady: "You guys run first, don't disrupt your rhythm, I'll take her."

The children adjusted their breathing and rushed to the front without slowing down.

Surprisingly, it can be even faster!

Tiantianlizi almost couldn't breathe.

"Riko, focus," Miyajiri's voice rang out. "Strive for the magical energy with the ground beneath your feet, and don't focus on the pain."

Tennuriko tried hard to adjust her condition, and finally she was able to feel the cursed energy that she had fought back from the land.

I found the knack for endurance running and the second half started to get easier.

After she finished her endurance run, sweating profusely, Ieiri Nishiko slowly ran halfway.

"Ieiri, is it okay for me to attend school?" Tennen Riko calmed down and asked Miya Chiri.

Gong Zhili looked up and said, "Glass, it's enough for you to do this. The key is to persevere. Okay, drink some water. We are going to move on to the next task."

Riko: "Don't you have to wait for Senpai?"

Gong Zhili looked at her and said, "Glass is very good at controlling cursed energy."

The implication is that she is the only one who needs to practice this.

Tennantori followed with a bitter face.

The afternoon's close combat training even included terrain changes!

She tripped over raised grass roots, was blinded by sand, and was whipped by branches...

It feels like there's no need to attack her directly, these plants can beat her.

Gong Zhili: "Don't look at me like that. I haven't aimed the stone at your knees yet. You need to develop a sense of crisis during battle."

When Tennariko finished a day's training, she was almost exhausted. She slumped to the ground, her whole body aching. It felt like there was no curse power left in her body, and her head began to tingle. Miyajiri gave her some water and asked, "How do you feel? Can you still hold on?"

Riko took the kettle, her hands still shaking. She gulped down a few mouthfuls of water, took a deep breath, and raised her head. Her eyes, though tired, were unusually bright under the streetlight. "...I can do it. Of course I'll continue."

Ieiri Naoko came over, handed her a clean towel, and reached out to pull her: "Come on, stretch your muscles, otherwise you won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow."

Gojo and Getsu sent their junior students over on the second day of their training camp, and Miya Chiri happily doubled their training volume: after Nanami and Haibara faced the cursed spirits, they had much more combat experience than Riko, so she could appropriately go out and fight them.

Geto Suguru watched from the side for a while, and when their training was over, he came over and said, "Want to fight me, Chiri?"

Gojo Satoru's eyes widened: "Jay, you ran away?!"

Xia Yujie glanced at him and said, "Who told you to agree to the date when you're eighteen? Just wait."

Gong Zhili's eyes lit up and she immediately said, "Okay!" She wore a training vest, walked to the center of the open space, and got into position.

The two men did not make any unnecessary movements and fought in an instant. Their fists and feet collided rapidly, and the offense and defense switched extremely quickly. Gong Zhili dodged and dodged. She could not compete with Xia Yu head-on with force, and was always looking for opportunities. Xia Yujie counterattacked calmly with heavy force. The two sides fought in close combat, wrestling, grappling, tripping, and then quickly separated for the next round of attack. Figures intertwined in the center of the open space, and the dull sounds of blows and rapid breathing made the onlookers hold their breath and stare at the changes in the situation in the field.

After a fierce confrontation, the two separated at the same time, breathing heavily. Geto Suguru raised his hand to signal to stop, and Miya Chiri put down his fist.

Nanako and Mimiko handed them towels and water in time.

Geto Suguru exclaimed: "Who did you learn Taijutsu from? It's amazing."

Gong Zhili: "Learn from Gojo."

Gojo Satoru puffed out his chest, very proud: "You can just say I'm your teacher."

Gong Zhili retorted: "You didn't teach me, I learned it secretly, that's called stealing."

Of course there is more to it than that, she just pushed her taijutsu skills onto Gojo to avoid trouble.

Gojo Satoru looked at her and smiled, as if he knew all about her little tricks.

See, she just knew Gojo wouldn't expose her.

Ieiri Naoko turned around and asked Nariko, "Do you feel that the atmosphere is a little strange?"

Tenriko had just come back to her senses after that wonderful fight and was a little absent-minded: "Ah? Ah, it seems so..."

When will she learn this kind of fighting technique?

Gong Zhili simply wiped the sweat off his face and said to Riko, "Come on, Riko, let's go meditate."

The children cheered and crowded around Geto Suguru, hoping that he could show them some of the moves he had just used in the fight. Yuji Itadori simply stood beside him and imitated him, punching with loud sounds.

Fushiguro Megumi was also very interested in this, and her voice was louder than usual: "Geto-nii, how can I train to be like you?"

Miki Tsu was also very interested: "If I were as fast as Chiri-nee..."

In short, Geto Suguru was suddenly surrounded by children and had to squat down and teach them patiently.

Gojo Satoru saw that he was surrounded, and Haibara and the others continued their training, and followed Miya Chiri and strolled away.

Ieiri Naoko followed, holding a water bottle.

Miya Chiri was very disdainful of Gojo who came over to chat: "Riko is easily affected when meditating, so don't talk."

Ieiri Naoko slowly walked over and said, "I'll meditate with Riko, you go over."

Miya Chiri looked at Riko, then at Gojo who seemed to have something to say, and took him a little further away.

Gojo Satoru first asked her with a smile, "Steal my skills, huh?"

Gong Zhili smiled at him innocently: "I did learn from you." She stretched out her right hand and made a small gap between her thumb and index finger.

Gojo Satoru was touched by her cuteness and coughed softly, "Whatever you say... Is that guy in the lake evolving?"

Gong Zhili: "You can feel it. Yes, Tuogen is trying hard to evolve to the special level. He is working very hard."

Her tone, like a puppy trying to grow up, made Gojo Satoru's mouth twitch: "Are you sure?"

Gong Zhili: "Peace of mind."

Gojo Satoru bent down and met her eyes. "Are you looking for someone to spar with?"

Gong Zhili nodded calmly: "I want to see how you sorcerers fight."

Gojo Satoru: "Just practicing Taijutsu is not enough."

Gong Zhili raised an eyebrow and looked at him: "So...?"

Gojo Satoru: "Why don't you come to me and see the real technique?"

Gong Zhili thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "No, I want to save the surprise for last."

Gojo Satoru was completely pleased by her words: "Then I will do my best."

Gong Zhili laughed: "Me too."

Ieiri Naoko watched the two of them talking distractedly. As they looked at each other and laughed, she also smiled silently.

After finishing explaining to the children, Geto Suguru walked over to her and looked in the direction she was looking.

Geto Xia Yu lowered his voice: "What is Wu doing?"

Ieiri Shoko: "Maybe he's showing off his feathers. Males always do that in nature..."

Geto Suguru sighed: "Satoru, there actually is such a day..."

Ieiri Glass: "First love..."

"What? Gojo-senpai's first love?" Tennuriko, who should have been meditating, suddenly opened her eyes wide and began to look around. "Who? Gojo-senpai is with Kazumiya-senpai... huh?"

Ieiri Naoko quickly put the water bottle into her hand and said, "Drink some water."

Geto Suguru looked up at the sky and down at the ground, then immediately turned around and left the scene.
