"Hmm?"
Soji said nothing for the moment, but Isshiki was honestly quite surprised that Soji could take his attack head-on.
In Isshiki's view, most members of the Otsutsuki Clan had very poor combat experience, and there were even fewer whose taijutsu could rival his.
If Urashiki Otsutsuki had not had that disgusting Time Rewind ability back then, Isshiki would have captured him with taijutsu long ago and fed him to the Ten-Tails.
Before Kaguya ambushed him and he spent a thousand years lying dormant on this planet in the Ninja World, he actually had not possessed much combat experience either.
It could be said that this was a common flaw among most Otsutsuki.
They were too powerful. With no one able to fight them, how could they cultivate combat experience?
Yet it was precisely because Kaguya had ambushed him a thousand years ago, leaving him grievously wounded and on the brink of death, that Isshiki had the time to steadily build up his combat experience step by step.
Such an opportunity was rare for members of the Otsutsuki Clan.
From that perspective, being ambushed by Kaguya and nearly dying back then might have been a good thing.
At the very least, Isshiki himself believed that if he immediately reincarnated using Jigen's body now, then during those three days before his lifespan ran out, he would undoubtedly be far stronger than he had been at his former peak.
Isshiki's taijutsu had also been gradually honed over those thousand years.
Since most Otsutsuki possessed, to some extent, the ability to absorb ninjutsu, strengthening one's taijutsu was especially necessary.
Isshiki dared to say that if his taijutsu had been at its current level a thousand years ago, then even if Kaguya had ambushed him, he would have had a way to kill her
