Chapter 161: Is That It? Just a Bunch of Minnows~

"Smash them! Smash them!"

"Even rabbits know not to eat the grass near their burrows, but this bunch of shameless Kyoto folks, the organizers of the competition, did something like this!"

"Disgusting! I sneak a couple of meatballs to my students in secret!"

In front of the surveillance screen, Luk vehemently condemned the disgraceful actions of the Kyoto side.

The Ultimate Mechanized Pillar was buried in the battlefield ahead of time, Kamo Kenki prepared a pile of blood bags, and when Fujiwara Itadori first appeared, he encountered the grand curse spirit Yatsufusa. Zenin Maki used a Gatling gun, and even the seemingly proper Azuki Tojo had prepared curse power beads. What were they planning? A Flying Thunder God technique?

"You should have used a little cheat, but don't put it out in the open. Even if you bribed me, it wouldn't have cost much! A little, really, wouldn't have hurt!"

"You're worse than a stick, worse than a stick! And you talk about being fair and square, just one word for it: disgusting!"

After venting his emotions, Luk calmed down and began to investigate the traitor.

Gojo Satoru raised his hand first, "Don't look at me, I'm the strongest, and I'm too proud to do such things."

Nanami Kento took a sip of tea, his tone calm, "I never get involved in such things."

Feeling Luk's malicious gaze, Kousaka broke out in a cold sweat and shook his head vigorously.

"Even though I'm from Kyoto, I know nothing about this. Look at my disciple, Mitori Akari; she didn't cheat. We're both good people."

Amagaki blushed and gave Luk a shy smile, "Teacher Luk, you know me. I'm on your side."

"So, there's only one answer left."

Luk looked at Mimi with a heavy heart. She lit a cigarette at her leisure, smoking calmly.

Noticing Luk's gaze, Mimi nodded calmly, "Yes, I had Yuyu cooperate with the Kyoto side for the point-to-point teleportation."

"Why did you do this?"

"They gave me 300 million yen."

"Didn't I give you enough? You can make a few billion with one mouthful, can't you?"

Gojo Satoru, who had no sex life, put on a gloomy face and covered Nanami Kento's ears, "Nanami, don't listen to this. It will dirty your ears."

Nanami Kento replied calmly, "They're already dirty. There's nothing to be afraid of anymore."

Mimi looked at the man whose eyes were red with sadness, her lips curved downward, "Alright, stop pretending. I'll split it with you."

"Thank you, dear." Luk instantly wiped away his tears, changed his expression, and sat back calmly to watch the surveillance.

The Kyoto principal, Reienji, who entered the room, seemed puzzled by Luk's state and asked in a deep voice, "Fujimoto Luk, aren't you worried about your students?"

Luk replied indifferently, "There's nothing to worry about. If they lose after all the extra training I've given them, they can die of shame."

The surveillance screen continued to show the latest battle updates.

...

Tiger, who had been dodging clumsily, suddenly turned around the moment the Ultimate Mechanized Pillar caught up and punched with all his might.

Boom!

Under Kamo Kenki's disbelieving gaze, a fist glowing with ominous black curse energy sent the massive robot flying, leaving a web of cracks where it was hit.

Black Flash!

No one can deliberately perform it; it's a life-saving skill.

In other words, a random event, the best cheat for the protagonist, Itadori Yuuji!

"Hmm, I feel stronger."

Tiger felt his body become lighter, and controlling curse energy became much easier. This was the "No Self" state after using Black Flash, making his control over curse energy vastly different from before and making it easier to continue using Black Flash.

"Thousand Blood Thorns!"

Facing such an opponent, Kamo Kenki clasped his hands together, activating the Akutagawa family's ancestral technique—Blood Manipulation.

A laser-like beam shot at Itadori Yuuji's head at high speed but was dodged by Tiger, whose physical abilities were greatly enhanced compared to the original story.

"Blood Manipulation—Bind!"

Dozens of blood bags burst, and a large amount of blood, controlled by Blood Manipulation, shot at Itadori Yuuji. However, controlling multiple streams of blood reduced both accuracy and power.

Tiger dodged while rushing to Kamo Kenki and commented, "Your technique is only fast at the beginning. After that, it's easy to dodge."

Boom!

A second Black Flash was unleashed, knocking out Kamo Kenki, who was using Blood Manipulation—Blood Leap.

Mitori Akari, who arrived late, met Tiger's "No Self" state punch. Just before their fists collided, the Ultimate Mechanized Pillar's hand separated them.

Crack!

The Ultimate Mechanized Pillar's hand shattered. Mitori Akari then used her new Yagyu style—Simplified Domain, a sharp aura spreading around her in a three-meter radius.

Tiger retreated, then witnessed the Ultimate Mechanized Pillar rise and stand tall, its mouth gaping wide with a cannon extending from within.

The Heavenly Curse Bond gave the Mechanized Pillar far beyond its strength in curse energy output, and the accumulated resentment over the years provided it with a vast amount of curse energy. Dangerous energy quickly gathered, compressed, and then erupted.

Fivefold Great Purification Cannon!

Tiger's feet made explosive sounds as he dodged the curse energy torrent, his fist glowing with black energy, and he unleashed another Black Flash.

Boom!

The ground split, and dust flew. This strike flattened the surrounding hundred-meter radius of trees, but the Mechanized Pillar and Mitori Akari, whom it protected, remained unharmed.

"Ouch~ That hurts!"

Tiger shook his already half-charred fist. Even with Black Flash, his body and fists couldn't withstand the direct hit from the Mechanized Pillar's ultimate move. But this wasn't a problem.

He pulled a meatball from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth. In an instant, the curse energy surged back into his body, and his charred arm returned to its original state.

"We concede."

The Ultimate Mechanical Pillar declared their surrender voluntarily. He had saved his curse energy for a different purpose and couldn't afford to waste it here. Three-Wheel Kira's strength was limited, and she definitely couldn't win, so it was better to surrender.

Tiger Staff, the victor, grinned at the crows in the sky and gave them a peace sign.

"Teacher Luk, we won!"

...

Fushiguro Mei, who had just dodged the embrace of Eight-Foot Woman, suddenly froze.

The space around him became thick and sticky, making it difficult to move, and he began to experience some strange changes.

In his ears, he heard voices that only adults could hear, and the scene before him showed Eight-Foot Woman blessing a group of young boys.

Mei, suppressing his embarrassment, analyzed that this must be Eight-Foot Woman's simplified domain.

Fortunately, he didn't fully meet the criteria of the domain's targets, so he could still move. He activated the spell he had prepared, and shadows began to surge. Two jade dogs, one black and one white, appeared, standing over five meters tall, their fur shiny and sleek, looking magnificent. However, they showed no respect to their former master, Mei, and just kept their heads raised.

Seeing the dogs in such a stance, Mei's body reacted with a bit of sadness.

Damn it! Once I eliminate Kiriya, I'll take you back, and see how arrogant you'll be then!

"Attack!"

The dogs reluctantly surrounded Eight-Foot Woman, their sharp claws easily tearing her into pieces. Without a moment's hesitation, they returned to the shadows.

Mei, gritting his teeth and blushing, sat down in an awkward position to rest.

This special-grade curse spirit had no real killing power, but its ability was a specialized attack on virgin boys, a type of rule-based kill. Any virgin boy between ten and fourteen years old would be instantly killed if their strength wasn't significantly greater.

Fortunately, Mei was a virgin but over the age limit, so he managed to find a gap to summon the jade dogs and counter-kill the spirit.

"Damn it, Teacher Luk is such a jerk, he must have deliberately released this kind of curse spirit!"

Mei's face was red with embarrassment, and he closed his eyes to calm himself down.

...

The battlefield was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Zen'in Mai, with a grin on her lips, kept firing the Gatling Bodhisattva. The curse-empowered physical abilities made her fearless of the recoil, and she could endure the scorching heat of the gun.

Seeing the pathetic fleeing figure of Saiki Nozomi, a sense of satisfaction welled up in her. She never expected this weapon to be so effective that she wouldn't consider using any other weapon in the future.

Just then, a sharp crack came from the gun.

Snap!

Immediately, the Gatling Bodhisattva, which had been firing at 3,600 rounds per minute, stopped.

"What... What's going on?"

Nishimiya Momoe, standing beside her, was taken aback. Mai, coming out of her frenzied state, bit her lip.

"It must be..."

"The gun malfunctioned."

Saiki Nozomi, with her clothes riddled with bullet holes but her body unharmed, stepped out from behind a tree, a demonic smile on her face.

She had been moving from tree to tree, using all her curse energy to protect her head, and had been eating the level-one curse spirit meatballs prepared by Luk to recover. Finally, she had waited for the moment to counterattack.

"Gatling guns are complex and prone to malfunctions, especially when you use them like a madwoman. Of course, even if it didn't malfunction, you wouldn't have had much of a chance, as you're almost out of ammunition."

"Die in atonement, both of you!"

She raised her curse nails and curse hammer and charged forward.

"Hmph, even without the gun, we wouldn't lose."

Nishimiya Momoe snorted and flew into the sky, while Mai pulled out a handgun.

"Grass Spirit Curse - Hairpin!"

The curse nails shot into the air suddenly exploded, and Momoe, who had only planned to use the wind to blow them away, screamed as she fell.

Hearing her companion's cry, Zen'in Mai was distracted and immediately found herself up close with the physically superior Saiki Nozomi.

Smack!

An elbow strike knocked Mai unconscious, and Momoe, who was in the sky, also crashed to the ground. Without the Gatling Bodhisattva, the two of them couldn't last a minute.

Saiki, with one foot on the defeated and immobile Mai and Momoe, sneered.

"Just trash."

...

In the final battlefield.

Relying on his powerful physical attributes and the unjust game of ten beads that could switch positions at will, Kiriya managed to take down the three opponents in just a few minutes.

Each time he clapped, no one knew if a switch would occur or who would be switched with whom. Kiriya's spell was already difficult to counter even if you knew about it, and now, with over a dozen variables, the three opponents were completely overwhelmed.

Apart from the initial obstruction caused by Dog-Scroll Jizou's curse words, the subsequent battle was one-sided.

After taking down Zen'in Maki, who held out the longest, Kiriya glanced at the shrinking curtain and sighed.

"When will I find a comrade with the same XP? Fushiguro Mei looks so boring, the vessel of Sukuna, Yuji Itadori... well, worth asking."

...

Watching his disciples win in the surveillance, Luk shrugged.

"Is that it?"

Reiyan Temple, with a dark face, didn't comment and addressed the teachers in the room, "Get ready. Apart from Nanami Kenjirou, who is the referee, the teacher group will also start the competition."

Swish!

Everyone's eyes were on Gojo Satoru and Luk.
