The Strongest Strike, Drawing the Pinnacle of Taijutsu

As the barrier spread out and the light contracted, darkness filled every corner, as if they had stepped into outer space.

Unlimited Void's domain enveloped the two level-100 bosses.

Five seconds passed, and the domain faded!

If 0.2 seconds could force-feed half a year's worth of information and intelligence, then five seconds meant nearly twelve and a half years of useless information!

The two level-100 bosses stood frozen in place, temporarily unable to attack Xia Yuan.

Only then could Xia Yuan chant without worry.

He pushed away the two kangaroos hanging off his arms.

"Move back a little. Don't stay too close to me, because what comes next might get a little violent."

"If you're afraid you'll have nightmares tonight, close your eyes!"

Mo Shiyu and Xiao Hei obediently retreated, putting some distance between themselves and him.

Xia Yuan entered his rarely seen serious mode!

Mo Shiyu immediately guessed what he was planning. He was going to try to one-shot the bosses again!

But how was that possible?

They were two level-100 red-name bosses!

Even Hollow Technique: Purple would probably find that difficult.

She suddenly recalled Xia Yuan mentioning a 200% Hollow Technique: Purple. Her eyes widened slightly as she murmured, "No way... Can he get even stronger?"

Xia Yuan took a deep breath. His expression was more serious and solemn than ever. He bent slightly at the waist, assumed a horse stance, and held his hands in a charged position!

A vast amount of cursed energy gathered around him, compressing further and further!

His presence soared like a rainbow!

He began chanting:

[Nine Ropes]

[Polarization]

[Black and White Declaration]

[Between Surface and Interior]

With every word he spoke, the terrifying cursed energy around him surged higher!

Even space began to distort!

The pinnacle of sorcery was subtraction. Incantations, hand signs—how to eliminate these steps before constructing and activating a technique determined a sorcerer's skill.

Because in actual combat, enemies needed to be suppressed quickly!

Yet this Hollow Technique: Purple omitted none of the sorcery's steps. With a complete ritual, its power could be amplified!

The Hollow Techniques Xia Yuan usually unleashed naturally were not their complete form.

In the world of sorcery, Utahime had applied the support technique Solo Forbidden Area to Satoru Gojo, boosting his total cursed energy and output.

That was why he had been able to unleash a 200% Hollow Technique: Purple and blow off one of Sukuna's arms!

However...

Xia Yuan wanted to see whether, with everything he had, he could unleash the same 200% Hollow Technique: Purple that Satoru Gojo had once used!

Once everything was ready...

Xia Yuan spoke the final judgment. "Hollow Technique: Purple!"

In an instant!

The remaining spiritual energy in Mo Shiyu's body was completely drained. Familiar with the feeling, she collapsed onto the ground, her gaze fixed on Xia Yuan.

Something huge was coming!

The next second—

The entire dungeon space began to tremble.

The imaginary mass created by the overlap of limitless repulsion and attraction erupted before Xia Yuan, annihilating and crushing everything in its path!

Including the two level-100 red-name bosses!

Amid the sky-filling purple light, their tens of thousands of health points rapidly plummeted to zero.

Even after they automatically entered their second phase at full health, their health fell back to zero at incredible speed!

This earth-shaking attack distorted space and even passed beyond the dungeon area, affecting the entire North Sichuan Spirit Contract Master Academy.

Everyone felt the ground tremble faintly, leaving them utterly astonished.

But they had no idea what had happened.

They thought it was a minor earthquake!

After a while—

The tremors gradually subsided.

Only then did Mo Shiyu and Xiao Hei dare to open their eyes. They discovered that the entire boss room had been torn apart and pushed to the brink of collapse!

The Flame Prison Lord and Ash Queen had vanished.

Only Xia Yuan remained, standing quietly in place.

This was his true strongest output so far!

Mo Shiyu's entire body went numb. Her rosy lips parted slightly, but she had no idea what to say...

This Hollow Technique: Purple was on an entirely different level from all the previous ones!

A string of notifications rang out:

[Five-Star Dungeon cleared!]

[Contract Spirit Xia Yuan, level increased: Lv.51 → Lv.54]

[Contract Spirit Black Cat Spirit, level increased: Lv.100 → Lv.100 (maximum level reached)]

[Obtained Magma Core]

[Obtained Mysterious Key]

[Obtained Red-Name Heart]

[Obtained Queen's Relic]

[Obtained...]

Mo Shiyu checked the time again. It really had taken only four minutes and fifty-five seconds to clear a Five-Star Dungeon.

Not even five minutes!

Xia Yuan sighed and rubbed his arm. "What a pity. It wasn't 200%, only 150% at most. Sure enough, it doesn't work without support."

Xiao Hei, the catgirl, swallowed hard and exclaimed:

"My god, Brother Yuan, 150% is already insanely strong!"

"You really have both raw stats and mechanics. The two of us together are absolutely invincible!"

Xia Yuan waved a hand. "This is nothing yet..."

In this world of the Contract Spirit era, the more power one had, the better.

Only by becoming truly invincible could he live peacefully.

The System Reward Bar had risen to 55%!

He could draw another universal skill.

Xia Yuan rubbed his hands together like a fly, his heart surging with excitement.

Although he had become a Contract Spirit, he still could not help getting excited over something like a lottery draw.

Drawing character skills from major dimensional worlds was simply too exhilarating for an otaku from his previous life. His chuunibyou heart was stirring restlessly!

"Start the draw!"

The System's dazzling roulette wheel began to spin.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained the skill Eight Gates from Might Guy of the Naruto World!]

[Note: The condition for opening the final gate of the Eight Gates, the Gate of Death, is that the Contract Spirit Master's spiritual energy must be at least 50%. Otherwise, the Contract Spirit Master will explode and die!]

[Opening the Gate of Death will instantly consume 50% of the current Contract Spirit Master's spiritual energy. Please do not use it casually!]

Xia Yuan's eyes lit up at once!

He was taking off!

This time, he was truly a little invincible.

His taijutsu was strong, but it was not at the absolute pinnacle.

But Eight Gates was the ultimate pinnacle skill of taijutsu!

He had always wanted to draw this skill, and he had actually gotten it!

Just thinking of that kick that had nearly kicked the story into its ending made his blood boil.

And it only consumed 50% of Mo Shiyu's spiritual energy. That was absolutely worth it!

In the original story, it cost a man his life!

Mo Shiyu was collecting the dungeon rewards when she heard Xia Yuan's unhinged laughter and gave him a strange look.

As usual, she checked Xia Yuan's level. But when she saw that his skill panel had gained another skill called Eight Gates, she could no longer sit still!

"Xia Yuan, what exactly is going on?"

"You learned another skill again."

"What exactly are this Zanpakutō and Eight Gates?"

Mo Shiyu's large eyes were full of confusion. It was her first time seeing a Contract Spirit develop new skills after leveling up.

Xia Yuan smiled mysteriously, clasped his hands behind his head, and returned to his lazy demeanor.

"It's way too complicated to explain."

"Anyway, you'll find out later!"

"I'm not an ordinary SSR. There are plenty more skills to come, so just get used to it..."

Mo Shiyu was stunned speechless. The materials in her hands even fell to the ground...

Like a curious child, she clung to Xia Yuan and peppered him with questions, her heart itching with curiosity!

Unfortunately, Xia Yuan yawned and said he was going back to rest and play games...

Holy Light Knight and the online girlfriend he had met were still waiting for him!
