Jujutsu Kaisen: My spells have no limit
Chapter 76 On the Eve of the Battle
Lin Yi and Gojo Satoru left after setting the date for their duel.
Xia Youjie awaited the birth of his artificially cultivated Cataclysmic-level Special Grade Cursed Spirit, while Lin Yi was also preparing for the duel scheduled for May 24th.
Actually, there isn't much preparation needed. It's just a matter of learning some physical techniques from Gojo Satoru so that I can better respond to Natsuyuu's attack on the day of the duel.
Here's an update on the information.
It's early May now, and there's about a month until the appointed day. That's enough time for Lin Yi to absorb the strongest modern experience from Gojo Satoru, who is at an extraordinary level, to improve himself.
Lin Yi didn't expect his physical skills to improve to the point of being able to compete with Xia Youjie in just one month; that was unrealistic.
Ever since Xia Youjie was beaten up by Fukuro Jinji, a tyrant with no magical powers, during his student days, he, like Gojo Satoru, has been honing his physical skills.
In the movie, losing to Yuta Otsuku in a battle of energy was a problem with his own decision. In terms of physical skills alone, Yuta Otsuku is no match for Natsuyuu in the current version. Not to mention that Natsuyuu has also benefited from the experience shared by the thousand-year-old sorcerer, Rōsō, and has gained a deeper understanding of his own spell, the Spell Manipulation Technique.
The spacious training ground where the Jujutsu Academy is located. Zenin Maki and her group of first-year students, along with Itadori Yuujin and Fushiguro Megumi, the two Jujutsu Academy trainees, stood to one side.
Watching Lin Yi engage in hand-to-hand combat with Gojo Satoru using a strange method of enhancing his magical power.
Although they all knew that Lin Yi was no match for Gojo Satoru in physical combat, they still found Lin Yi's approach quite impressive.
With the help of the two spell-powered arms projected from his spellcaster form, Lin Yi was able to occasionally defend and counterattack while being overwhelmed by Gojo Satoru, preventing the situation from becoming one-sided.
"As a spellcaster who constructs spells, this guy's fighting style is truly eye-opening. Yuta, can your spells imitate his?"
"If it's just about using magical power to transform something into the shape of a sword, that's not difficult. But to construct a physical form like Mr. Ichiro did, and give it additional attack effects, is not very realistic."
Otsukuyuu scratched his face, answering Zenin Maki's question with a hint of shyness.
During his time at the Sorcery Academy, Yuta Otsuku also figured out what his special-grade sorcery technique was: copying.
With the help of the cursed spirit Rika and his own almost limitless curse power, he can copy, store, and use any spell that is not too complicated.
Gojo Satoru's limitless technique, Etobichi Yuta, cannot be copied. Without "Six Eyes," one simply cannot master it, nor can one understand it.
Lin Yi knew how to construct swords in such a simple and crude way, but he had to consider the problem of converting magical power into physical objects. Lin Yi solved this problem because of the innate binding effect of the spell. Yi Gu You Tai didn't need to form a 'binding' specifically for constructing physical objects; it was purely a thankless task.
"Tch, so you're using a 'binding' that can't be used to create a permanent spell tool in exchange for a cycle of spell power conversion? I wonder if that girl, Mayi, can even form such a 'binding'."
Having received an answer from Yuta Eto, which she couldn't answer, Maki Zenin immediately thought of her twin sister who had the same type of magic as Lin Yi.
The spectators in the stands were curiously discussing the key to victory in the Grandmaster Battle at the end of May, while Lin Yi in the training ground was exchanging information with Gojo Satoru while familiarizing himself with the rhythm of Gojo Satoru's taijutsu attacks.
"So, when you killed Fuheishen, you went straight to the Panxing Sect to collect the body, waiting for Xia Youjie to return?"
Lin Yi blocked Gojo Satoru's enhanced Azure Fist, and his semi-permanent cursed arm automatically countered. He also assessed Xia Youjie's current strength based on Gojo Satoru's words and the plot he knew.
"Yeah, back then I really wanted to kill all those guys from the Panxing Cult, but Jie persuaded me not to. By the way, Yi-chan, you really know us well, you even know so much about our student days."
With lightning speed, Gojo Satoru grabbed Lin Yi's arm, which was wielding the cursed power in his counterattack, and swung it into the air.
Lin Yi's body soared into the air, his mind recalling the relevant plot of Gojo Satoru and Natsumi Yoshimi's student days.
The reason why Gojo Satoru and Natsuyuki failed in that escort mission was that they did not expect that the primary target of the mission would be the two escorts themselves, especially Gojo Satoru.
That was the first time Gojo Satoru suffered a setback. His defenses were breached by the top-grade cursed artifact, Tennis Reversal, which ignored the effects of the spell, and he almost died.
In Jujutsu Kaisen, there are only two special-grade jutsu tools that can inflict special damage on jutsu spells: the special-grade jutsu tool Tennisou, which ignores spells, and the consumable jutsu tool Black Rope, which interferes with spell operation.
Tian Ni Mou was inside the stomach of the spatial curse spirit Chou Bao, which was subdued by Fu Hei Shen Er. Later, this curse spirit was absorbed by Xia You Jie, who arrived at the scene, using curse spirit manipulation techniques. In other words, Tian Ni Mou, a curse tool that specializes in attacking curses without limits, was also in Xia You Jie's hands.
It wasn't until Xia Youjie was killed by Gojo Satoru that he destroyed the cursed tool that was aimed at him and confiscated the remaining cursed tools into the inventory of the Cursed Arts Academy.
Lin Yi's cursed arms automatically extended, wrapping around the pillars on the training field like spider silk, carrying Lin Yi in a large loop before throwing him towards Gojo Satoru on the field.
The Sorcerer form also switches to the Heaven and Tyrant Kamen Rider form.
"Rider Punch!"
A powerful knight's punch sent Gojo Satoru flying back several meters, creating a gust of wind that made Hisahito Itadori and Tanzaburo Gojo, two physical attackers in the audience, see stars.
Zenin Maki's expression changed drastically.
This is the body she has always wanted.
"Wow, Ichi-chan, you're incredibly strong in this form! Even though you're using a spell to enhance your power, as long as you don't go all out, one punch from you will make my arm go numb."
"But my current form can't break through your bottomless pit."
"But Ichi-chan, you're not the real Heavenly Tyrant. Your real trump card is the domain, the unique characteristics of the technique in this form. My eyes can see it clearly."
"I saw it all clearly, but you didn't explain it to me clearly."
"How can I tell you something like this? You have to experience it for yourself. By the way, when I went to see Jay before, he told me that you and he had formed a 'bond.' Has it affected you?"
"You mean that? Although I'm not a true Heavenly Tyrant in this form, I still have the necessary functions, such as ignoring those who form 'bonds' with others."
"This is really a cheating technique."
Gojo Satoru wrapped his blindfold around his eyes before calling out to the students in the audience, "Hey, this is a rare opportunity to spar with a top-tier sorcerer. Don't miss it!"
The first to respond was Gojo Satoru's cousin, Gojo Tanzaburo.
"Taku!"
Unable to contain himself any longer, Gojo Tanzaburo leaped into the air, turned around, and landed in a white vest, cargo pants, and construction boots, wearing a Kamen Rider Black-RX mask. This childlike appearance became the focus of attention for the entire audience, second only to Lin Yi's transformation.
The reason was simple: the aura and magical power emanating from Gojo Tanzaburo at that moment made him appear to be a completely different person in everyone's eyes.
But Gojo Tanzaburo only had his eyes on Kamen Rider Joker, who was transformed by Hayashi Ichi through a form change!
"Ha, a black knight just like me. I sense something similar about you~"
Lin Yi did not address Gojo Tanzaburo by name because he knew that the more the outside world recognized the role played by such divine techniques, the stronger the effect of the techniques would be. Between himself, a Heisei remnant, and Gojo Tanzaburo, a Showa remnant, who was the real knight enthusiast!
"Taku! Rider Punch!"
The two shouted out their ultimate moves in unison. Their fists, enhanced with cursed power, and their fists, completely devoid of cursed power, collided in the training field with their perfect physical bodies and cursed armor suits, like a thunderclap from a clear sky.
Time passed quietly as Lin Yi practiced his martial arts.
The matter of Lin Yi's challenge to Xia Youjie is spreading throughout the global sorcerer community, thanks to Lin Yi's instructions and Lu Suo's secret encouragement.
In May, the global sorcerer community received a major piece of news:
A sorcerer named Hayashi Ichiro suddenly appeared and became the fifth Special Grade sorcerer in the modern era. His Special Grade title was personally certified by Gojo Satoru, the strongest sorcerer in the modern era.
He will challenge Natsuyu Ketsu, one of the original four modern top-level sorcerers in the Japanese sorcery world, on the 24th of this month.
No sorcerer would doubt the veracity of this news.
They only cared about one thing: whether they, as sorcerers, would have the opportunity to travel to Japan and witness a battle between top-tier sorcerers.
This is an unprecedented event in the modern world of sorcery.
Tokyo Metropolitan High School of Curses.
The teachers and students of the Spellcasting Academy gathered together, looking at the room in front of them, which consisted of multiple screens.
Every screen here shares vision with the crows released from the darkness, circling above the village where Xia Youjie and his group are located, monitoring their movements from all angles.
They could all see Xia Youjie on the screen occasionally looking up to greet Lin Yi and the others, who were far away in Tokyo.
"Is he Xia Youjie, the teacher's best friend? He seems like a very gentle person, not a bad one."
"Yujin is very observant. He is a gentle person now, but his gentleness cannot be accepted by the world, so the teacher can only go to see him off."
"Then you must be very sad, teacher. But why did you have to turn the fight between Mr. Ichiro and Natsuyuki into a live broadcast?"
"This was requested by Ichijō. Besides, there hasn't been a battle between Special Grades for a long time. Every sorcerer would not want to miss such a fight, so we decided to have the teacher act as the referee and hold the show, so everyone can earn some extra money."
It was still the kind of profound statement unique to sorcerers, which was a bit hard for a novice like Itadori Yuujin to accept. But seeing that everyone around him seemed to agree, Itadori Yuujin could only turn his gaze to Lin Yi, whose brain circuits were relatively normal, just like his own.
Lin Yi ignored the image of Xia Youjie flashing on the screen and focused on the tablet in front of him.
At this moment, the odds and related information for his duel with Xia Youjie have been updated on the website set up by Mingming.
Because of insufficient information, all the sorcerers in the world know that Lin Yi is a special-grade sorcerer recognized by Gojo Satoru, but his specific strength is unknown. Therefore, the odds have been increased, and the odds for betting on a single winner are 1 to 7.
Xia Youjie, a veteran and top-tier expert assessed by the Japanese sorcery community, has odds of 3 to 1 for a single win.
In addition, there are also factors such as who opens the domain first, who gains the advantage in battle first, battle duration, and the final winner's status.
Anything Lin Yi could think of, was available on this website.
On the adjacent sorcerer forum, under the post about the battle between Lin Yi, an unknown special-class sorcerer, and Xia Youjie, a veteran special-class sorcerer, there were comments from sorcerers all over the world.
He could also see bloodthirsty viewers commenting, "So exciting, so exciting! I've already booked my flight to Japan. Being able to witness a death match between top-tier sorcerers up close is definitely worth the ticket price, even if I die!"
The diverse and professional commentary gave Lin Yi a sense of déjà vu, reminiscent of the discussions he had with netizens when he was following the latest episode of the Suzaku Showdown.
Back then, all sorts of seemingly plausible false information were flying around.
The discussion was going on and on, but no one expected that jjxx would pull off the most viral stunt on the entire internet in the end. He really deserves to earn that money!
Now it's my turn!
Lin Yi decisively took out all the money he had earned in Japan during this period, handed it to Youyou who was waiting on the side, and bet it all on himself to win.
He won this gamble; he truly deserved the title of top-tier sorcerer, and with a fortune in hand, he fled back to his home country, where he frequented nightclubs and with young models.
If you lose, you can just start another game in the next world; you won't lose either way.
Just then, Lin Yi noticed that a post related to himself on the sorcerer forum had been refreshed and pinned to the top.
[Lin Yilang, the fifth top-tier sorcerer in modern times, is not actually Japanese...]
Holy crap! Box!
