Chapter 69
After the strongest one left, Shen Du Jianliu punched Zenin Naoya in the abdomen with an expressionless face.
"I should have said that."
He lowered his eyes while holding the knife, and glanced indifferently at the blond boy who was sitting on the ground.
Because of what the other party had just said, the barrage once again caused a small amount of negative emotions.
Since it is not convenient for Gojo Satoru to take action, he can kill Zenin Naoya at any time.
"Wait... Ahem! Wait!"
Zenin Naoya almost vomited out all the acid in his stomach in one breath.
"I didn't summon any new maids to serve me!"
"Jianliu, we are the closest people."
"How can I do something you don't like?"
He held his stomach and motioned for the servant to come over quickly, with some dissatisfaction in his eyes.
The attendant who was holding Zenin Naoya's schoolbag was a little boy who had fallen into the pond before. Upon seeing this, he immediately ran forward nervously and bent down to stop in front of the two men.
"Master... Second Master."
"Hey, tell me, have I ever beaten or scolded you in the past two days?"
"No, no! Master."
“…”
Although I was very panicked, there was no trace of lying or fear in my emotions.
There were no scars on his body.
Shen Du Jianliu looked at the other party for a while, silently put away the knife, covered his mouth and coughed a few times, and swallowed the fishy sweetness that rose in his throat.
He ignored the two men and turned to walk towards the assistant supervisor who was standing on the side of the road in shock.
"etc!"
Zenin Naoya called out to Kamado Kenryu again.
He pulled the corner of his mouth, a rare friendly smile that was rather flattering on his handsome face, and clenched his fist to clear his throat loudly.
"Jianliu, are you not feeling well? Your lips are pale and you keep coughing."
"I'll have someone send you some medicine later."
When his cousin Shinji had not left home, Zenin Naoya was too young to do anything.
But today is different from the past.
Zenin Naoya wants to give the best things to his new brother——
This is what the strong deserve.
Shen Du Jian Liu: "..."
Strange person.
I just punched him, and although I didn't use even 1% of my strength, there was no negative emotion in his eyes.
He didn't quite understand why Zenin Naoya could have such feelings.
Since the other party no longer spreads despair and is a talented person, Shen Du Jianliu has no need to pay attention to him.
After confirming that most of the barrage had returned to calm, the white-haired boy left here inexplicably.
***
The curse master's involvement in the mission was just an accident.
Kamado Jianliu didn't say much to Director Mishima, and then went to two more places, removing two level two monsters and one level one monster.
Thanks to the busyness when I just came here, almost all the cursed spirits that had accumulated before have disappeared, and most of the cursed spirits that need to be dealt with seriously now are newly born.
Seeing that Liu had not killed the two second-level and first-level Shendu, they carried their half-breathed "corpses" back to the technical high school.
Gojo Satoru doesn't seem to be at school.
Geto Suguru's presence was not near the dormitory either.
Kamado Miru only saw the two junior schoolmates he had met last time next to the vending machines in the lobby on the first floor.
"ah!!"
Huihara Yu shouted, looking at the white-haired boy who stepped over the threshold with shining eyes.
"Zen...Senior Zen!"
“…”
Realizing that the other party was calling him, Shen Du Jianliu stopped.
He thought about it and took off the soft cloth covering his eyes.
"What's up."
"...Wow, your eyes! As expected, you were the one who saved us before, right?"
Huihara Yu instantly overlapped the pale-skinned boy's face with the one in his memory, bent down and bowed deeply to Kamado Miru.
"Well, actually, I have something very important to tell you—"
“Thank you so much for last time!”
"If it weren't for your help, we would have died."
Nanami Kento, who was standing next to the other person, also put down the drink in his hand, bowed his head and bent down respectfully.
But compared to this...
He couldn't help but secretly glance at the giant monsters behind Shen Du Jianliu.
They were all unconscious, their bodies covered in purple mucus that was the same color as blood. Each cursed spirit had a strange shape, and the shadows they cast together could cover the entire first floor of the dormitory.
An ominous aura and an overly strong sense of oppression, level two... No.
That "dragon" type is at least quasi-first-class!
What a terrible power this is?
When the other party appeared at the door just now, he subconsciously broke out in a cold sweat because of the indescribable evil aura. He almost suspected that there was a malfunction in the barrier of the high school, and a strange first-level cursed spirit broke in without sounding the alarm.
Now that he could clearly see the three cursed spirits behind the "reliable senior" that could not even fit through the dormitory door, Nanami Kento fell into endless silence.
really……
Are there not a single normal person among his predecessors?
Only Senior Getsuyu is relatively normal.
"fine."
"Don't worry about it."
The light voice of Shen Du Jianliu interrupted the light-haired boy's thoughts.
"Is Jay in the dorm?"
"Eh? Ah! Are you talking about Geto-senpai?"
Huiyuan Yu straightened up and gave a thumbs up to the white-haired boy standing in front of him: "Grandmother Geto is researching new techniques in the playground!"
"Speaking of which, Senior Zen Temple, is that the cursed spirit that just descended behind you?"
"That's amazing! I thought the high school alarm was invalid."
“…”
Nanami Kento: I asked it!
Sometimes he really admired Huibara. This guy never wastes time on internal issues and always asks questions on the spot.
"Um."
Shen Du Jianliu did not deny it. He turned around and left the dormitory, picking up the legs and messy whiskers of the three cursed spirits.
The ground was shaking slightly due to the friction of the cursed spirit's body. This earth-shaking movement naturally attracted the attention of Geto Xiayou at the back of the yard.
"See the flow? You..."
The black-haired boy who was thinking of new moves on the playground looked at the monsters that suddenly appeared in front of him and temporarily lost the ability to organize language.
"Where did you get these cursed spirits?"
Not only are there two level twos, there is also one level one.
Although he knew that Kamado Miryu was the fourth true "special-grade sorcerer" in Japan, the number of cursed spirits was decreasing day by day, and he couldn't even receive mission notifications, let alone subdue new cursed spirits.
"I met him on the road."
Shen Du Jianliu blinked his eyes, and without changing his expression, he threw the invisible thing in front of Xia Yujie.
"Please eat."
"Uh...thank you?"
With a subtle look, Geto Suguru accepted the three cursed spirits that had not died, and used magic to transform them into black cursed spirit balls.
His "Rainbow Dragon" was killed during the battle with Fushiguro Shirou.
I never thought that there would be a day when I would see the dragon-shaped curse spirit again.
"I'll bring it to you when I meet you next time, Jay."
Shen Du Jianliu felt the density and airflow in the air to judge the size of the sphere in the black-haired boy's hand.
These three are cursed spirits within Tokyo.
The other cursed spirits are distributed in areas outside of Tokyo, and it is difficult to bring them all the way back to the technical high school, otherwise there would actually be more of them.
This behavior is unnecessary for a number of reasons.
“…”
Geto Suguru is devouring the cursed spirit ball.
His complexion was not good, and his handsome face was missing the gentle smile that usually appeared on it.
[Wow, I feel so sorry for Jay]
[The original novel described the smell of the cursed spirit as a rag that wiped vomit, which was one of the reasons that overwhelmed him.]
[Jie can only train alone in the playground now, so sad]
[There's nothing we can do. Gojo Satoru is already the strongest and has even learned the domain. Jie didn't master the domain until the very end.]
[However, his Extreme Whirlpool Density can reach a level similar to that of Satoru's He]
[Jie actually didn’t understand the true meaning of the whirlpool! When the brain flower takes over his body in the later stage, Uzumaki can directly extract the spells of the cursed spirit for his own use.]
Brain flower?
Shen Du Jian Liu's eyes swept across the barrage without any change, and his eyebrows slightly frowned.
He walked over to Xia Youjie and asked with concern: "Is it not delicious?"
"I'll go get you some candy."
Perhaps he didn't expect Shen Du Jianliu to ask him this. A trace of surprise flashed across the handsome black-haired boy's face, and his silent expression recovered a lot: "It's okay."
"No."
"It matters. Jay's business is my business."
Shen Du Jianliu held his hand seriously and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me."
"Jay is my second friend, and I care about you."
“…”
silence.
There was a silence even longer than before.
Xia Yujie subconsciously wanted to retract his hand, but it stopped where it was.
He opened his mouth delicately, but faced with the boy's sincere words, he was unable to utter anything to spoil the fun or preach.
And we can shake hands, that's what I said before.
This guy has no common sense... just no common sense.
He just needs to pay more attention to it in the future.
You can't just lose the person.
"By the way, see the flow."
Realizing that the two of them were on the playground, Xia Youjie coughed lightly, breaking the inexplicably strange atmosphere in the playground.
"We agreed to spar last time, right?"
"How are you feeling today? Want to try it?"
His slender eyes swept across Shen Du Jianliu's cheek. Although it was still transparent white, it was much better than yesterday.
"I have developed a new technique these days."
“It should be quite strong.”
Wu has become the undisputed number one in Japan, and has even mastered the skill of domain.
Xia Youjie could not tolerate himself standing still and the gap between him and his opponent getting bigger and bigger.
He has been calming down these past two days, planning to study his own techniques to see if he can develop new content.
For example, attacks do not only rely on one's own physical skills and the independent actions of the curse spirit.
He wanted to develop offensive techniques that he could use himself.
In addition, Xiayou Jie is also thinking and exploring the problems in the field. He is currently working hard to learn simple fields.
Fortunately, the offensive technique of Geto Suguru has already been developed.
Compress the cursed spirit into the highest density and send it out in the form of a spell.
He has not yet named this skill, and the effect of using it is currently unknown, and he is not even sure whether it will be successful.
If it really works, the effect should not be bad.
"Can."
Shen Du Jianliu nodded, he thought for two seconds, and shook his head again.
"I have something else to do later, Jay."
"You can perform a strike using the newly researched technique first, and I will help you test its strength."
"Eh? Do you have anything else to do?"
Geto Suguru didn't want to force Kamado Miryuu.
He looked at the white-haired boy's delicate face that was reflecting sickly light in the sun, and was a little worried that the other party's physical condition was still not very good. He found an excuse because he didn't want to refuse.
"If you're busy, we can discuss this next time..."
"No."
Shen Du Jian Liu raised the knife in his arms and said seriously: "I hope Jie can accompany me when I want to do something later."
Slowly pulling out the heavy scabbard, the thin white-haired boy leaned down slightly and rushed forward at 30% of his speed.
"!"
Xia Yujie's intention to ask where to go stopped and he subconsciously moved to the side, feeling a sense of helplessness that he couldn't explain.
"Don't rush up suddenly."
"Let's make a bet first...if you win I'll agree to go with you wherever you want to go?"
Shen Du Jian Liu blinked his eyelashes lightly, not very interested in the lucky charm that was added temporarily: "Okay."
He didn't give the opponent time to react. He supported himself on the ground with one hand, turned over, and attacked again.
The competition is about to begin.
Geto Suguru stopped talking nonsense and his expression gradually became serious as he assumed a fighting stance.
He was not a fool and could clearly perceive that Shen Du Jianliu had slacked off in his attack just now.
The opponent's speed was much slower than yesterday when he was removing the first-level curse spirit.
This made Xia Youjie feel a little annoyed.
He once fought with Fushiguro Shigeki and still couldn't forget the feeling of defeat.
Today is a chance to fight against the sky and the curse again...
He wanted to see if he had made any progress compared to before.
The two men fought hand-to-hand combat for two rounds, and while retreating quickly, Geto Xiayou immediately released several cursed spirits to interfere.
Making sure they were at a proper distance from each other, he condensed the two second-level cursed spirits that the white-haired boy had just given him, pressed them into a small ball and threw it out.
“Boom—”
The wall surrounding the playground was blown right through.
Huge amounts of smoke and dust filled the air, and the deafening sound startled a large flock of birds in the woods not far away.
"See the flow!?"
Without having time to think about what kind of punishment he would get for destroying the building, Xia Youjie subconsciously sped up and jumped over, worried that Kamado Miru would not be able to react in time and would be hit.
"fine."
The white-haired boy's voice sounded from behind him.
Kneeling on one knee with a very calm expression, Shen Du Jianliu wiped the blood from the tip of his nose due to excessive consumption with the back of his hand, and stood up straight with steady steps.
"It takes a while to activate the spell."
"There are a lot of cumbersome movements. You should have performed the spell when I was 78 meters away from you and my body was blocked by the cursed spirit on the left. This is the best state."
"You shouldn't attack me when I'm blocked by the two cursed spirits on my left and right at the same time, because I'll have seen through your movements by then."
"167 meters is a bit far, Jay."
"You made 6 unnecessary moves that resulted in the consumption of cursed energy...? Otherwise, the effect could be further improved."
“…”
Xia Youjie turned back in surprise and widened his eyes slightly.
He actually hid behind before he could activate the spell.
Moreover, even with the interference of cursed spirits, his judgment, speed, explosive power, observation ability, etc. are all at a monstrous level.
At that moment, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind -
The second person to be called Tianyu Jufu, Shen Dujianliu is worthy of his name.
No, even more powerful than the previous one.
After carefully reviewing the details, it was indeed as Shen Du Jianliu said, the timing of his casting of the technique was a little late.
"See the flow."
Geto Suguru's magnetic and pleasant voice inevitably adds a touch of trust.
"Do you have any suggestions for this technique itself?"
“…”
Actually, no.
Kamado Miru felt that Geto Suguru might have forgotten that he couldn't see the sorcerer's spell at all.
He noticed the curse spirit that the other party had just released entirely through his other senses.
You can teach and correct the opponent's combat instincts and movements to maximize the attack.
But if it is about guiding the "talents" unique to this world... I'm not sure about Kamado Kenryu.
He thought about the comments he had seen before and repeated expressionlessly, "You can directly extract the spells of the cursed spirits and use them for yourself."
"Varied……!?"
It took Geto Suguru a second to react and confirm what Kamado Miru was talking about. He shook his head and retorted, "My technique is to command the cursed spirits I have subdued at will."
“I was able to perform the spell just now because the target of attack is essentially my cursed spirit…”
etc.
Since the density of the cursed spirit can be highly compressed.
How come extracting the opponent's spell isn't considered a form of arbitrary dispatch?
This might really be an idea...it won't hurt to try to develop it.
Cursed spirits that possess spells are usually at level one or above.
If he could not only subdue and command cursed spirits, but could even extract their spells and turn them into his own, then he would have many first-class and special-class spells + a stock of cursed spirits of different levels...
Geto Suguru can be sure that his strength will reach a higher level.
"See the flow..."
"You're actually a genius, right?"
The black-haired boy raised his thumb and pressed it against his forehead. He felt as if his Ren and Du meridians were opened up, and his mind felt clearer and brighter than ever before.
These past two days, he really felt from time to time that Shen Du Jianliu was a confidant sent to him by God because God saw that he was too tired.
The heavy feeling of fatigue is slowly disappearing.
All the bad things seem to be turning in a good direction.
Speaking of this, Xia Youjie held his bangs and asked the question that he wanted to confirm for his junior before.
"Why didn't you go back to your dormitory yesterday?"
"Habara...these are the two junior students you met. They said you saved them."
"Do you still remember?"
"Um."
The fight between the two men had come to a halt because of the success of Geto Suguru's technique.
"I saved him."
Kamado Kenryu had nothing good to say about the people he had saved before; they had now escaped despair and did not need his attention.
"They just thanked me in the dormitory."
He never regretted saving anyone.
The white-haired boy took out the mobile phone from his pocket, opened the flip cover and took a look at the current time: 12:45.
There are currently no new curse notifications, so you have free time.
“I see.”
Xia Youjie's mood was unusually stable at this moment. Noticing Shen Du Jianliu's actions, he walked over considerately and asked, "So?"
"Where is that place you said you were going to? Let's go."
"My attack is over. It's not too late to come back and continue."
"Panxing Religion."
…
The air suddenly became strangely still for a while.
The handsome face of the black-haired boy paused in the relatively warm state of the previous second, so that the corners of his mouth stiffened too abruptly, making it look a little distorted.
"…What did you just say?"
Geto Xia Yu stared straight at the frail and sickly face of the white-haired boy. Because of the other party's fleeting words, a group of disgusting faces with wrinkled skin and only knowing how to applaud emerged in his mind uncontrollably.
His originally relaxed and peaceful mood was swept away.
It was as if the rotten smell that had been deliberately concealed was suddenly revealed, revealing a monstrous stench that could not even maintain the superficial disguise.
"Panxing Religion?"
"That organization where ordinary people gather?"
"Um."
Shen Du saw Liu looking up and looking back at him seriously, and he nodded without hesitation.
"The mission I received today has something to do with Panxing Sect."
“So I want to go and see it.”
"Jay, would you like to come with me?"
