Ice cream is bad for your brain: Anyway, Xuan is definitely the Strongest the Strongest of the three strongest.

Mourning Ice: This is what happens when you can't understand combat power. Gen couldn't even get the Mahoraga to spin in his fight against Satoru Gojo, yet he suddenly became the Strongest? How ridiculous.

Ice cream is bad for your brain: Oh, Wu is getting impatient. He's the only one of the three the Strongest who doesn't have a direct combat record, right? He was even sealed by someone who was unilaterally beaten by Xuan. It's really funny.

Ice cream is bad for your brain: But Satoru Gojo is definitely better than Sukuna, right? Sukuna's performance was so bad it was laughable. He was chased and beaten for a long time by three or four people who were far inferior to him, and he couldn't even fight back. In the end, he was even pinched into a triangle.

In memory of Bing:?

As soon as he sent the message, Sukuna's face trembled uncontrollably. Looking at the refreshed feed of people constantly echoing his opponent, Sukuna's anger reached its peak.

Click.

The phone shattered into pieces of black glass in Sukuna's hand, while Kenjaku looked at Sukuna speechlessly.

"Hey, what are you doing again?"

"Nothing..."

Sukuna let out a long sigh of relief. The netizen named "Ice Cream Hurts the Brain" and a bunch of netizens who questioned his strength had made the current King of Curses a little anxious.

Someone like Hajime Kashimo I've never even heard of, is trying to step on my head? Are you kidding me?

Just because he fought Xuan's initial account to a standstill for a while? That's bullshit! Why didn't he fight Xuan when he was at full strength?!

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Just then, the person who started spreading this information was right in front of her, Sukuna immediately asked Kenjaku for help.

What is your idea in spreading these things?

"Huh? Wait, wait, these guys aren't stupid. They can tell I'm not Xuan Benzun."

Beside Sukuna, Kenjaku smiled, then turned around to face Sukuna.

"Spreading these ideas? The current Pure Realm is covered by my Culling Game Barrier—all I need to do is guide the flow of Cursed Energy."

Kenjaku pointed to the computer behind him. The account called "Compassionate Redemption" had gained millions of followers in a very short time. Kenjaku simply released one "setting" after another and videos, which made a bunch of people who never believed in superpowers accept them.

After all, the barrier of the Culling Game is real, so they couldn't even find a point to refute it.

Thus, in the eyes of ordinary people, an unprecedented superpower attack appeared in the sky above them.

The possibility that superpowered individuals might be right next to them is causing them increasing fear.

The result is that an unprecedented and ever-growing panic is spreading from Japan to the whole world. At this time, all that Kenjaku needs to do is say, "Cursed Spirit only appear in Tokyo," and most of the world's Cursed Energy will be directed to Tokyo.

With the stabilization of the Culling Game, Kenjaku realized that he could no longer collect a large amount of Cursed Energy through the Culling Game, so he resorted to this last resort.

So what are you going to do?

"The plan is a secret, and I set many Binding Vow on it to achieve this... naturally including the Binding Vow that it must not be revealed to a second person."

"I understand."

"It's so good that you understand, Sukuna."

Sukuna lowered his red temperature bar by using the ice that had formed, and only then did he recover.

"So... is this our way to defeat Zenin Xuan and the Jujutsu High?"

"... No, the method is still the one I told you before, but..."

Kenjaku paused for a moment, and only after confirming that the news could be shared did his golden eyes fix on Sukuna's four eyes.

"This is our last resort."

Rika is Shikigami Rika Orimoto Yuta Okkotsu and given to Rika. Yuta Okkotsu has the Cursed Energy that Otsukoshi saves up every day. Originally, Yuta Okkotsu had amazing Cursed Energy and could save up a lot of Cursed Energy each time. As a result, Rika also has a huge amount of Cursed Energy in Rika body - but it will eventually be used up.

As for Yuta Okkotsu himself, he lacks sufficient means of output.

Currently, with only the Yushouluodan technique available—a ranged attack—the only usable method is ordinary Cursed Energy emission.

Although with Xuan's help and extra training, Rika's appearance time has not only increased but her cooldown time has also decreased, Yuta Okkotsu still has a minimum mid-term of 15 seconds.

However, a ten-minute battle is enough.

The original Yuta Okkotsu's defeats against Kinji Hakari were all due to the fact that the original five minutes were too short. If Kinji Hakari rolled two big prizes, he could easily defeat Otsuki.

Now, three major awards are needed, and because Rika's cooldown time has been shortened, it's no longer possible to defeat her easily.

Of course... Kinji Hakari has also become stronger.

"Mythical Beast Amber! Partial Phantom Beast Transformation!!!"

Snap!

Along with Hajime Kashimo's roar, a crisp clapping sound rang out.

Hajime Kashimo, half-submerged in Lightning, instantly switched places with her staff—and then, Rika appeared behind Yuta Okkotsu.

"Put!"

The solidified Cursed Energy shot towards Hajime Kashimo in an instant— Hajime Kashimo's right hand was violently dispersed, but the scattered charge in mid-air was drawn back into her arm by Hajime Kashimo. Immediately afterward, Yuta Okkotsu felt several Lightning in front of him seeming to be about to strike.

"Electricity!"

Rather than using grand and sophisticated incantations, Hajime Kashimo clearly preferred not to waste words during the battle. With a sudden flick Hajime Kashimo her right hand, she unleashed several condensed positive charges. With a snap of her fingers, the negative charges instantly struck the positive charges, triggering lightning at incredible speed.

Snap!

However, it was neutralized by the Yuta Okkotsu.

As the Boogie Woogie began, Yuta Okkotsu chose to switch places with one of the negative charges that would be ejected—and as Yuta Okkotsu was switched to face-to-face, Hajime Kashimo's body immediately surged up—forming a defensive stance at top speed—but...

Yuta Okkotsu's hands suddenly pierced through the brutal Lightning and pressed down on Hajime Kashimo's chest.

No—it wasn't so much that it passed through the Lightning, but rather that the Lightning flowed along the space covering Yuta Okkotsu's hand—and this one was clearly—

"Yushouluodan!!!"

Bang! Smash!

Hajime Kashimo was blasted away by the spatial shattering in an instant, crashing into the barrier—and the muffled thud of his impact was accompanied by Yuta Okkotsu's next clap.

The fragments of Cursed Energy that appeared when the space was detonated and scattered on Hajime Kashimo were used to switch places, so Yuta Okkotsu's hand was placed on Hajime Kashimo's body once again.

"Yushouluodan!!"

Another Yushouluodan caused a burst of blood to erupt from Hajime Kashimo's chest, followed by the explosion of the blood, which shattered the boundary of the black barrier.

Hajime Kashimo, who had been hit by two Yushouluodan, was half kneeling on the ground. The Reverse Cursed Technique quickly repaired his body, while he raised his head.

"Ugh... Is it really okay to stop here?"

"It's settled then, no matter who it is, if they successfully deal damage and cause the barrier to collapse, they are not allowed to continue fighting."

"Let's do it again! Xuan! Reinforce the barrier once more!"

As Hajime Kashimo shouted, Megumi Fushiguro flipped the scoreboard.

Hajime Kashimo 3:5 Yuta Okkotsu

"Whether it's best of three, best of five, best of seven, or now best of nine... I won, Lu Ziyun."

Yuta Okkotsu had a bit of a headache. Hajime Kashimo was indeed powerful. Each of his three losses had its own reasons, and without activating his domain, the boost that Hajime Kashimo's Cursed Technique gave him was very obvious.

However... I still won more often.

"Is it over?"

Hearing the commotion in the arena subside, Xuan naturally walked in. Seeing Hajime Kashimo's limbs gradually losing their crackling Lightning, Xuan knew that this battle was coming to an end.

Hajime Kashimo her collar and walked out the door with a look of dissatisfaction. Megumi Fushiguro, who was in charge of keeping score, was finally free. He stretched, nodded to Xuan, and then disappeared into the shadows, appearing next to Itadori.

"Do I need any further enhancements?"

Yuta Okkotsu stood beside Gen, raising his head to look at the person before him.

"Oh, didn't I say I was going to teach you how to use advanced techniques of Reverse Cursed Technique?"

"My Cursed Technique shouldn't have any Cursed Technique Reversal, right?"

"... really."

--Yuta Okkotsu's Cursed Technique usually manifests as "Copy," but this is not Yuta Okkotsu's own Cursed Technique; rather, it is the Cursed Technique of his Rika, Shikigami. Without Rika's assistance, Yuta Okkotsu cannot activate "Copy."

In other words, the true Cursed Technique of Yuta Okkotsu is "Rika".

Following this line of thinking, Gen, as Shikigami Yuta Okkotsu, could teach Otsukotsu a great deal.

Compared to Yuta Okkotsu, Xuan's Shikigami, as an external vessel, can fully utilize the Cursed Energy and Cursed Technique within its body without needing to be summoned. This is achieved through Xuan's several nested Binding Vow.

If this Copy, Yuta Okkotsu's combat effectiveness is very likely to decrease due to a number of sudden and unexpected conditions.

Xuan's senses were always very sharp. He felt that he had agreed to Kenjaku too readily, which might lead to unexpected situations. However, Xuan, who was confident in his strength, did not pay too much attention to it.

He had always dispelled his premonitions with his formidable strength, and this time would be no exception.

However, he didn't care at all about having more than a dozen layers of insurance.

Reggie, who is collecting tickets; Takaba, who is studying a comedy manga; Itadori, who is practicing Cursed Technique and domains; Fushiguro Megumi Fushiguro, who is steadily progressing and has regained the Mahoraga with the help of Higuruma; Higuruma, who is still growing; Satoru Gojo, who is honestly cheating with himself; Hajime Kashimo, who was beaten by himself to the point of starting his second awakening... all these kinds of guys are sharpening their knives, preparing to deal with Shinjuku on December 24th.

Thinking of this, Xuan raised his hand, and white energy enveloped his palm.

"This is the external release of Reverse Cursed Technique. Unlike aggressive negative energy, it's energy that can be used to repair oneself... What else?"

"... Besides that, is the energy contained within the square of an equal amount of Cursed Energy?"

Gen nodded—after watching his battle with Satoru Gojo, Yuta Okkotsu's "imagination" had also begun to strengthen.

"The area that can be covered by enhanced Cursed Energy is limited, which is why stronger control over Cursed Energy is needed. Only with stronger control over Cursed Energy can the Cursed Energy accompanying the Cursed Energy strike be greater and stronger."

As Xuan spoke, he punched the suddenly generated shadow target—the target shattered violently with the Cursed Energy, leaving a deep fist wound on its head.

"The positive energy generated by the Reverse Cursed Technique is itself derived from the multiplication of Cursed Energy Cursed Energy. Therefore, it's not surprising that the energy it contains is the square of the same amount of Cursed Energy. However, the energy generated by the Reverse Cursed Technique is mostly used for healing, or rather, recovery."

Xuan placed his hand on the shadow target, and the four-armed target's face instantly returned to normal.

"I had initially considered whether the Reverse Cursed Technique couldn't be used for attacks, but..."

Xuan waved his hand, and his shadow formed a blackboard in mid-air, on which a demonstration had already been drawn, while Yuta Okkotsu watched with fascination.

"First, there's Little Mo... um, Mahoraga's Sword of Extermination."

The Sword of Extermination can be infused with the energy of Reverse Cursed Technique, enhancing the blade's strength, sharpness, and attack power.

"The Sword of Extermination was the catalyst that made me rethink and redevelop the Reverse Cursed Technique. Incorporating that energy into my attacks was Satoru Gojo Red Fist."

The Red Fist uses the Cursed Technique applied to the fist as a container, injecting positive energy instead of Cursed Energy, thus producing something completely different from the Cangken.

Domain Amplification.

These four words suddenly appeared on Xuan's blackboard.

"In other words, unlike ordinary Cursed Energy enhancement, both of these examples demonstrate that Reverse Cursed Technique enhancement requires a carrier. If the physical body is used as the carrier, the body will fall into a terrible situation of attacking itself when using both offensive and defensive Reverse Cursed Technique Reverse Cursed Technique."

Xuan Yi typed the words "Domain Amplification," and at the same time, the blackboard disappeared, revealing Reverse Cursed Technique flowing within the Domain Amplification in Xuan's hand.

"Therefore, we need something similar to Domain Amplification as a container."

Xuan nodded, and then the previously scattered shadow targets condensed once again.

"Alternatively, a barrier applied to the arm can be used to allow the Reverse Cursed Technique to flow along the fist."

As he spoke, Xuan's enhanced Reverse Cursed Technique slammed into the shadow target, which was just as hard as before. With a muffled thud, the entire shadow target turned into mist and dissipated.

"So, did you understand?"

Yuta Okkotsu nodded, while Satoru Gojo, who appeared beside him, shook his head.

"Teacher Xuan! I have a question!"

Those appearing beside Yuta Okkotsu were not only Satoru Gojo, but also Itadori and Fushiguro, who had been pulled over by Satoru Gojo. Itadori, who had raised his hand, shouted loudly.

"Speak up, Itadori."

"I just had a heated online debate with Gojo-sensei. A lot of people think Sukuna can't beat Hajime Kashimo. What do you think?"

"Oh? Is there something else about me? What is it?"

Hajime Kashimo hadn't gone far to begin with, and now he quickly walked over. Of course, he had just been practicing with his Nyoi Staff, Itadori's words were mingled into a jumble of sounds amidst the whistling wind of the cudgel. Therefore, Hajime Kashimo took the opportunity to ask the question again.

Xuan, on the other hand, was deep in thought about this issue—normally, he would definitely support Sukuna, but now...

Before Xuan could speak, Hajime Kashimo spoke first.

"Both are possible; that's the answer."
