Shinji Ikari, the pilot of Unit-01 during the Spirit Awakening Era

"Oh~ This is really worth bringing you here for nothing! Watch carefully and learn a lot! Shinji-kun... is the kind who keeps his skills very well hidden. This kind of fast-paced attack and defense by martial artists is a very rare sight!" A group of students from Tokyo's Jujutsu High School were brought here by Gojo Satoru. Most of them looked completely bewildered. After all, Gojo Satoru had suddenly appeared next to them while they were having breakfast, clapped his hands to show that everyone was there, and then dragged them to this weird place.

"Shinji? Shinji Ikari from NERV? The ultimate gigolo?!" Nobara Kugizaki had seen Shinji Ikari before, but at that time Shinji wasn't very strong. It seems that his achievements were all achieved by piloting EVAs. And recently, the most famous thing about Shinji Ikari is undoubtedly having Kurosawa Ayase, the fierce goddess, as his fiancée, which is why he has the title of the ultimate gigolo.

"His skills are terrifying!" Watching Shinji Ikari dodge the opponent's fiery attack, then charge in without hesitation, sending the opponent flying with a flying kick, Fushiguro Megumi's face was filled with astonishment. Before them stood a man of similar age, or even younger, fighting a formidable S-class opponent with equal skill, dodging fatal attacks and seizing every opportunity to launch a fierce counterattack! In the short time they had watched, Rugo had already taken a hit from a red ball beam, and that was without Shinji using his Holy Light Aura.

"Damn it! You brat, today I'm going to tear you to pieces!" Louhu had a ferocious expression on his face. Although Shinji Ikari's attack hurt him a lot, it wasn't fatal. The body of a cursed spirit is not really a necessary part. Even if only the head, which is the core, is left, it can continue to exist. The body can be completely rebuilt and restored.

In this respect, cursed spirits are far more troublesome than demons and monsters. After all, if a demon or monster has its head chopped off, it's truly over! Even ordinary evil spirits are in danger of disintegrating after their physical form is severely damaged. Otherwise, Michiko, the quasi-evil god back then, wouldn't have disintegrated even after forcibly withstanding the tribulation of lightning.

But the pain was real. Louhu looked at Shinji Ikari, who had dodged his fire attack, and his eyes were filled with frenzied rage. Although the damage he had suffered was not too great, Louhu's rage meter was about to burst after the series of attacks that hit him and he had directly crushed this kid who should be weaker than him.

"Look, this is the strategy you should use when facing an opponent stronger than you," Gojo Satoru said with a smile. He wasn't in a hurry to lend a hand; on the contrary, the battle between Shinji Ikari and the person in front of him had been an eye-opener for his students. "Panic is pointless! Then you must seize every opportunity to attack. If your opponent is like this one, and happens to be careless because of the difference in strength, then you're in luck!"

"But the premise is that our strength can't be too much different from theirs, right?" Zenin Maki said speechlessly. Does Shinji Ikari's ability to do it mean that they can do it too? Don't be ridiculous. Although they also went to the Genkai Martial Arts Hall for special training, they were still as weak as a bunch of chickens in front of the sweeping monk of the Himuro Mansion.

Recently, inspired by Sensui Ninja, and having also begun to retrain his techniques, Toguro's younger brother, who is practicing the Himuro-ryu style, has gradually begun to approach S-rank. As a result, almost none of the unlucky guys who tried to experience it in the past could last three moves against Toguro's younger brother. In fact, in a full-scale brawl, they were all defeated even faster due to interference from each other.

This experience made them clearly realize the gap between them and the top experts. When they heard Toguro's brother say that he might not even be able to get close to Gojo Satoru, it was the first time that all of them had a real description of the strength of their unreliable teacher.

"Don't say that. You're not that weak anymore, and I'm not that strong either! Ahahaha!" Gojo Satoru's slightly smug smile confirmed to everyone that this was indeed their teacher, and still so shameless.

Enraged, Louhu unleashed his full power, suddenly rushing to Shinji Ikari's side. With both hands together, a purple pillar of flame shot out from his hands, instantly engulfing the area where Shinji Ikari was standing. The spreading flames enveloped a small lake nearby, instantly reducing the entire lake to a shallow layer. A massive amount of water vapor evaporated into the sky, turning the entire area into a misty haze.

“So… the first priority is to be fast enough, otherwise you can’t dodge such an attack.” Gojo Satoru said with a smile, “Just like Shinji, it is very difficult for the opponent to hit you.”

"No...being hit?" Everyone stared blankly at Gojo Satoru in front of them. In such a terrifying fog-shrouded environment, how could he not concentrate?

“Yes! Right, Shinji!” Gojo Satoru grinned and looked at the person next to him.

"You bastard, you're here and you're not even going to help?" Shinji Ikari, standing next to Gojo Satoru, was furious. This guy had actually dragged a whole bunch of students over here, was he supposed to be his live instructor? This was a life-or-death situation! If he hadn't accidentally discovered that someone was spying on them, he wouldn't have known they were here at all.

"Isn't experience very important for you and them?" Gojo Satoru laughed heartily. Shinji Ikari was indeed in a sorry state, with many burn marks on his clothes and even his hair, but overall, he didn't look injured at all. In contrast, Ruko, who was clearly stronger than Shinji, seemed to be at a disadvantage.

"Damn it! I'll have my sister curse you later!" Shinji Ikari gave Satoru Gojo the middle finger. He was right! Every S-class warrior stands on the foundation of countless bloody battles!

"I'm so scared!"

Chapter 329 Super Overlord Movie Bullet!

Shinji Ikari took a deep breath. Although Satoru Gojo's words were somewhat ruthless, he was absolutely right! There is no path to achieving a fixed level of power by working in isolation! Most insights are summaries of combat experience! Hiding in a corner to diligently practice often results in being outmatched and defeated by someone more skilled in combat, becoming someone else's glorious achievement!

Not to mention that the ranking system itself is very chaotic. It is not a simple indicator that can be directly and vaguely defined. You can't be S-rank just because you have a certain speed or strength. S-rank must be the strongest, but not everyone who is strong can be classified as S-rank.

Generally speaking, this is just recognition. Being stronger than most A-ranks can be considered S-rank. If Shinji Ikari were to say that he has reached S-rank regardless of the consequences, there wouldn't be much of a problem. It's just that the comprehensive evaluation results from various organizations are very similar to Shinji Ikari's own feelings. He is currently very close to S-rank. His overall combat strength may not be as good, but when facing an S-rank like Rugo, he is not completely powerless.

"Huh? Kid! I didn't expect you to bring reinforcements! But it doesn't matter, anyway, all the strength of you humans is just self-aggrandizing weaklings. Today I'll destroy your confidence here! Your hypocritical strength!" When Louhu saw Gojo Satoru waving at him, he was obviously surprised. He clearly didn't expect to face such an opponent.

The monster of the Gojo family! The strongest sorcerer! The pinnacle of humanity!

Whether it was stubbornness or a genuine belief in his own strength, Louhu showed no intention of retreating. Instead, he grinned maliciously and began to gather his power, clearly intending to target Gojo Satoru.

"Old man, while respecting the elderly is a virtue, lacking self-awareness is a death sentence." Shinji Ikari stretched his arms. He had just taken a punch from this old man in close combat. He had to admit that the old man was really tough. The last person Shinji Ikari encountered who was this tough was Toguro's brother. This old man's strength was by no means weak either.

Compared to humans, demons, monsters, and cursed spirits all possess inherent advantages. They are physically stronger and naturally endowed with magical abilities. However, humans can improve through learning and training, and there are also exceptionally talented individuals among humans whose progress often exceeds the comprehension of ordinary people!

For example, Yuto Itadori! For example, Satoru Gojo! For example, Shinji Ikari!

"And taking advantage of my kindness is truly disgusting!" Shinji Ikari downed a bottle of liquor he'd somehow produced, feeling the heat radiating from his stomach and the rush of blood through his veins. A grin spread across his face. "That warm-up was passable, wasn't it? Now, don't hold back, or you'll be beaten to death later, and don't blame me for not giving you a chance."

“…Damn brat!” Looking at the holy light emanating from Shinji Ikari as if it were burning, Louhu suddenly realized that Shinji Ikari wasn’t just talking nonsense. In the previous battle, Shinji Ikari really hadn’t used his full power.

It wasn't that Shinji Ikari was overconfident, but rather that this guy only had so much inner energy and spiritual power. In a fight against such a powerful opponent, if he were to act rashly and go all out from the start, charging in relentlessly without holding back, then if he couldn't end the battle before exhausting his resources, the outcome would certainly not be good!

Besides, who reveals all their cards at the very beginning of a battle?! Naturally, you have to probe your opponent's hand first! Moreover, the long battles have taught Shinji Ikari one thing: you can't completely trust the so-called plot and the so-called settings! In this chaotic world, if Shinji Ikari believed that stuff, he would have died eight hundred times over.

Shinji Ikari originally planned to use his obviously excellent speed to wear down the guy's magical power. Once the guy's magical power was reduced, he would unleash his full power, or simply run away. If he couldn't escape, he would have to fight to the death.

After all, this was on the outskirts of a major city, and Shinji Ikari really didn't want to unleash the power of the evil god here unless absolutely necessary. Kurosawa Aise's power had already caused Izumo Okuni a lot of trouble for him afterward, since ordinary people would truly suffer a mental breakdown when facing the evil god.

As for why Shinji Ikari has suddenly become tough again? That bastard Satoru Gojo is right there, so there's no need to bother his sister or fiancée. It's time to reveal his trump card and have a good fight with his opponent.

"Are you...?" Ryouko was naturally not easily frightened by Shinji Ikari, but in the next instant, his vision was suddenly blocked, and a golden spinning kick struck him directly in the waist! "Ugh!" Purple blood sprayed out, turning into balls of flames as it hit the ground. Then, Shinji Ikari unleashed a series of close-range attacks, knocking Ryouko into the air. With the final blow, golden light condensed on his palm, aiming straight for Ryouko's face!

"..." Gojo Satoru watched several figures hurriedly leave from not far away, a smile playing on his lips. He didn't really care about the Eternal Society. On the contrary, the unusual gathering of cursed spirits in Tokyo was what concerned him. For this reason, he even went to Mount Hikami to ask Himuro Kirie to help seal these cursed spirits if necessary.

Himuro Kirie mentioned that there were so many sources of power that could be used to strengthen the seal of Yozumi on Mount Hikami. Himuro Kirie had no intention of refusing, but he needed to provide some assistance on Mount Hikami in exchange for the power being provided to him when necessary.

This is why Gojo Satoru appeared here at this time. If Himuro Kirie's power is to descend and seal multiple Super-grade Cursed Spirits in one go, then without a doubt, Shinji Ikari's Divine Mirror is needed as a medium.

"Damn it!" With his hands clasped together, Louhu forcefully activated his spell, and the towering flames engulfed him and Shinji Ikari! Although he would also suffer some damage, he couldn't hold back any longer! He needed to buy some time! Otherwise, his domain wouldn't have time to unfold!

Martial artists won't give them time to dawdle and develop their domains. If you stand there without knowing how to do it, without a doubt, any martial artist will happily give you a good beating!

So Louhu is now simply trading his injuries for time. Amidst the scorching flames, he forcefully begins to unleash his spell and expand his domain! As long as his spell is successfully activated, this damned brat in front of him will only be burned to ashes in an instant! There is absolutely no other possibility.

However, Shinji Ikari clearly understood his plan, since the extent of the opponent's domain was unknown, and forcibly creating distance was too late! Therefore, the only thing that could be done was very simple: kill him! Kill him at all costs!

"Ugh!" Amidst the intense heat of the flames, golden light pierced through the towering flames. The two were almost at zero distance, with virtually no room to dodge. Shinji Ikari stomped the highly condensed Holy Light Spirit Ball onto Ruko's chest.

"Pfft..." The exploding spirit orb directly dispersed all the flames, and with a roar, countless molten rocks flew up...

"Ah...it looks like Shinji is really in trouble!" Gojo Satoru scratched his head. "But it seems a bit too early to make a move now. Shinji shouldn't be so easily dealt with, right?"

"..." The group stared speechlessly at Gojo Satoru, who was muttering to himself. Even they, looking at the ground suddenly enveloped in lava that seemed to have sprung from nowhere, felt the situation was terrible; how much worse must it be for Shinji Ikari, who had been locked in a fierce battle with the enemy! Could you please be a little more reliable?!

"Hahaha... Pfft..." Louhu, who had been laughing maniacally, spat out a mouthful of blood before he could finish. A huge gash appeared in his chest, exposing his filthy internal organs, which churned in the air. Louhu braced himself on his knees, glaring at Shinji Ikari before him. "You brat, now... you're dead!"

"Hoo..." Shinji Ikari, his whole body steaming, frowned as he looked at the smug Ruko. He looked down at the foot that had just stomped on the Spirit Ball. The entire sole of his foot was covered in blood, and the white bone was exposed in the palm. His other foot was in slightly better condition, but it was also severely injured.

However, protected by the Holy Light, Shinji Ikari preserved his bones and meridians. Shaking his head, Shinji, who could barely feel his feet anymore, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "Same here! Looks like I'm going to get scolded again when I get back!"

Shinji Ikari glanced coldly at Louhu in front of him, his eyes filled with icy intent. Could Louhu be any better off than him? The Holy Light Spirit Orb would be more than twice as lethal to these guys! Under the bombardment of this Spirit Orb, his injuries would only be more serious than they appeared.

"Hmph! But my injuries will heal quickly here! And you! You'll only perish here!" With a wave of his hand, a ball of lava rushed towards Shinji Ikari's location! It was about to engulf Shinji. "You can't move at all now! Prepare to die!"

"That's certainly a well-thought-out plan! And it seems you're close to success." Shinji Ikari sneered. "But who told you that movement always has to be done with your feet?" He caught the scalding lava with his bare hand, his face filled with disbelief!

A strong wind began to blow, and the powerful whirlwind even extinguished and shattered the lava in an instant! Shinji Ikari was suspended in the gale!

"Eat my sect's ultimate technique! Super Overlord Movie Bullet!"

Chapter 330 Extermination

"What!?" Louhu felt the lava being whipped by strong winds, sparks flying from the lava and hitting him head-on. He stared in disbelief at what was happening within his domain! His power! But damn it, why was he getting hurt!

A raging tornado erupted, and in his serene state, Shinji Ikari poured all his power into it. The raging tornado relentlessly tore at everything within Rugo's domain, "Iron Mountain." Soon, Rugo was shocked and enraged to discover that the lava within his domain was being transformed into a fiery tornado by the tornado, gradually posing a significant threat to him.

Meanwhile, on Mount Hikami, Himuro Kirie stared at the enthusiastic Kurosawa Ayase, who helplessly dissipated his power.

You did the first day of the month, but you won't let me do the fifteenth!

So angry!

Wait! Why am I being a coward?

Kurosawa Aise immediately glared back!

"Damn it, my brother got sold for a good price." Meisen sighed, shaking her head as she ate the steamed egg custard that had been specially made for her.

Of course, if Louhu knew this now, he might even demand that Kurosawa Aise make a clean break so that he could at least have some dignity! Besides, dying at the hands of a fierce god is much better than dying at the hands of this damned brat!

His thinking was quite realistic. An unreasonable tornado swept through his area and then suddenly crashed sideways. For a moment, he felt his eyes were playing tricks on him! A sideways tornado? Then he realized the true power of the Super Overlord Movie Bullet!

Shinji Ikari manipulated the tornado and was sent flying. Lava and sharp air currents tore at his body, but soon he was hit hard in the back again!

When Louhu turned around, all he saw was splashing lava. "Damn brat! Aren't you a martial artist? What kind of sorcerer is this?!" His furious heart seemed to want to lash out, but the power surging in his domain was still being carried by the gale, strengthening his own power!

Lou Hu soon found it extremely difficult to move. The violent air currents coiled around him like pythons, tearing at his body. His already severely injured body was about to give way!

At this moment, figures radiating holy light appeared like phantoms, rushing towards him from all directions. Punches, kicks, palm strikes, elbow strikes, shoulder strikes, knee strikes—countless heavy blows relentlessly pounded against his body!

"Look! Look! Look!" Watching the domain begin to twist and deform, swelling and bulging like syrup, Gojo Satoru, who was giving his students a live demonstration, said with a smile, "A domain is strong, but it's not an absolute symbol of victory. If you're not careful and a powerful martial artist like Shinji seizes an opportunity..."

As the group of students looked at the field that was already faintly tinged with gold, they felt as if their worldview was being subjected to a cataclysmic shock.

"Domain... isn't everything, strength is, isn't it?" Fushiguro Megumi felt something within her was subtly breaking free from its seal.

"Is this what it means to wield power?" Zenin Maki's eyes flickered as she watched the domain, which they considered almost invincible, being torn apart madly.

"It's here!" Gojo Satoru exclaimed, watching the domain suddenly swell. Even without Gojo Satoru saying anything, everyone knew the domain was about to collapse! Because scorching air currents, carrying sparks of molten lava, were blowing out of the swollen domain in all directions.

At this moment, a corner of the entire domain suddenly swelled up like an inflated balloon, and the originally pitch-black domain became a thin layer, faintly revealing a golden glow from within! Then this position immediately became a weak point, and was rapidly inflated by the power raging within the domain!

Suddenly, Gojo Satoru moved! He stood in front of the students and stretched out his hand!

The sweeping, violent force created a shockwave that spread through the air, rolling across the ground and leveling the manor at its core—or, more accurately, potentially turning it into a second lake.

However, this wave of energy did not affect Yuto Itadori and the others at all, because this wave of energy, which was carrying ash and various fragments, was directly blocked by an invisible force in front of them.

The smoke and dust didn't last long; the violent cyclone quickly cleared it away, and everyone could clearly see Shinji Ikari spinning back and forth within the cyclone, relentlessly bombarding Rugo with various punches and kicks.

Lou Hu's condition is extremely bad. His body is covered in open wounds, layer upon layer, with blood spraying out continuously in the strong wind. It makes one wonder just how much blood this old man has to produce to cause such a spray.

"I! I! I'm not reconciled!" Lou Hu roared ferociously, still gathering his power, trying to use flames to drive away Shinji Ikari who was spinning around him, but the flames he unleashed were quickly swept away by the hurricane! He had no way to break through the environment around Shinji Ikari!

"It's over! Die in peace!" Shinji Ikari seemed to have completed his charging. All the hurricane energy was instantly gathered up. The Super Overlord's chaotic attacks instantly transformed into a powerful gust of wind surrounding Shinji, crashing into Ruko. The explosive force added a terrifying propulsive force to Shinji's attack, sending Ruko's body slamming into the mud, being pushed faster and faster, crushing everything in its path! It looked like the lake was about to become a canal.

"Hmm?" Just then, Gojo Satoru suddenly looked in another direction, leaning forward slightly as if he was about to pounce, but the next moment he frowned. "This is really an interesting situation."

A figure, entirely white with horn-like appendages resembling tree branches around its eyes, suddenly rushed over from a distance, seemingly trying to rescue Louhu, who was in dire straits. This was another special-grade cursed spirit who often accompanied Louhu and the others, Hanamichi, a cursed spirit born from humanity's fear and hatred of the forest.

"I really didn't expect this, Shinji-kun... Could this be considered a return to his master's school? No... should it be called a return to the master's school? But the Spirit Detectives' warrant for his arrest has never been withdrawn." Gojo Satoru stroked his chin, muttering words that the students around him couldn't understand at all.

Yes, the person who came was none other than Sensui Shinobu, who was carrying a McDonald's hamburger takeout bag. He kicked Hanami in front of him into the ground.

“I know you can understand, but I can’t understand your language.” Sensui Shinobu pulled an extra-large steak burger from the paper bag. “So listen up, this kid is also a disciple of my tradition, and now is the most important time for him to break through his limits. You’d better be sensible! Besides, I still owe this kid a favor.”

Yes, the vouchers Shinji gave him that day were quite generous. They included vouchers for set meals at various restaurants of the Totsuki Group, a voucher for accommodation at the Suzuki Hotel, and even a voucher for a motorcycle from Ryuji Motorcycle Shop that was originally intended for Ayato Kamina!

Compared to the nonsensical behavior of the Suzuki Hotel, the Totsuki Group felt a chill run down their spines. Danma Ryuji looked at the tall man with a mole on his forehead with some oddities. He knew Ayato Kamina, so he naturally knew who Shinji Ikari had prepared this motorcycle for. Had this kid eaten yeast? It had grown so big! And his hair color and demeanor were all wrong! However, Danma Ryuji didn't think too much about it. It wasn't surprising at all that this strange kid, Shinji Ikari, had a strange friend.

Unbeknownst to Ryuji Danma, Rei Ayanami, who appeared to be doing her homework behind him, silently sent a message to Mei Isayama: "Shinobu, the car is moving, come quickly."

Inside the shady shop, Isayama Mei, who was originally having a drink with Yusa Emi to celebrate the record-breaking transaction volume of the day, immediately jumped on his motorcycle and rushed over with Yusa Emi.

When they arrived, they saw Shinobu Sensui and Ryuji Danma exchanging a few words in hushed tones before Shinji Ikari smiling and handing over a helmet to Shinji. As for the wary Mei Isayama and Emi Yusa, he simply smiled casually, tossed them a business card, and rode off on his motorcycle, leaving the two completely bewildered.

“!￥%…” Hua Yu immediately rattled off a whole string of words.

"I said I don't understand, you bastard..." Sensui Shinobu jumped up and easily kicked out a crimson Spirit Ball, which shattered the ground. The vines and flower fields that were about to burst out from the ground were blown away. The power it unleashed was far beyond what Shinji Ikari could compare to!

Hana landed in the distance, his attitude instantly becoming extremely serious. He was facing off against Sensui Ninja, seemingly unable to find a good way to break through Sensui Ninja's blockade.

"So we're not fighting anymore?" Sensui Shinobu continued munching on his hamburger, finishing it in a few bites before starting on the next one. He looked at Hanamichi in front of him, seemingly quite relaxed. "Don't speak. I don't understand, and I don't want to understand. During my time in the Demon World, I've come to understand one thing. Shinichiro was right: people can't understand each other, let alone humans and demons. So if you really want to fight, I'm happy to oblige."

"However, the outcome is already decided!" Sensui Shinobu glanced back, then leaped and disappeared into the darkness of the forest. He and Shinji Ikari weren't exactly enemies, but there was still some awkwardness between them. Both Sensui Shinobu and Shinji Ikari knew that it was only a matter of time before they communicated in the way of martial artists. So he was waiting for Shinji to grow and for him to come to him. Shinichiro's matter had to be resolved eventually. Of course, perhaps the Spirit Detective's matter also needed to be resolved, but that seemed to be someone else. Koenma really had some good methods; he was no ordinary person.

"Pfft..." A large spray of blood splattered in mid-air, and the Super Overlord movie bomb forcibly plowed a huge trench in the ground. Louhu's entire body had been chewed up, leaving only its head.

The head was still pressed to the ground by Shinji Ikari's crimson palm, its eyes bulging and bloodshot. The high temperature on Shinji Ikari's palm was rapidly consuming its remaining cursed power. Once the cursed power was exhausted, it would be completely removed.

“Although this guy is a very stubborn bastard, he can’t die here!” A person wearing a kasaya, but with stitches on his forehead, suddenly appeared beside Shinji Ikari. “So, please hand him over to me, okay?”

"Are you an idiot?" Shinji Ikari looked at him, his eyes filled with indifference. Gojo Satoru's womanly compassion ultimately led to him shooting himself in the foot; he deserved to be sealed away.

"This is not something a civilized person should say, and besides! Do you think you have a choice?" Xia Youjie said with a smile. After this battle, there is no doubt that Shinji Ikari will be officially recognized as an S-class. Although he may still be unable to defeat Toguro, who has not yet broken through, in combat, his achievements speak for themselves! Only an S-class can defeat an S-class.

"Get lost..." Shinji Ikari didn't stop, but instead increased his strength, and it looked like the remaining head of the wreckage was about to be crushed.

"Oh! You think Gojo Satoru can support you? Hanamichi has already held him back, so give up! No, I have another idea now, how about... you become our comrade too, your body is so weak..." Xia Youjie revealed a strange smile, but the next moment he flashed backward.

"Get out!" A tremendous surge of resentment suddenly erupted from Shinji Ikari, and a dark figure slowly rose from his body. "What do you, such a filthy thing, intend to do to Shinji-kun!"

“This is truly a shocking situation… It’s not the Divine Mirror, you’re not Himuro Kirie!” Xia Youjie looked at the unfriendly Kurosawa Ayase from ten meters away. “If it were your true form descending, I might not even have a chance to run away, but you are just a wisp of a soul.”

“But that’s enough to curse you! Want to try?” Kurosawa Aise narrowed his eyes.

"I... am not reconciled..." At this moment, Lou Hu struggled to say this, then suddenly his head collapsed and disintegrated into a layer of black ash...

“It seems we don’t need to target each other anymore, Shinji Ikari? You’re quite good.” Xia Youjie narrowed his glasses. He didn’t dare to test whether he could withstand the curse of a wisp of the evil god’s soul. If the time dragged on, Ruko would be directly removed by Shinji Ikari.

"You're not Xia Youjie, who are you?!" Shinji Ikari swayed, then knelt on one knee, panting heavily after exhausting his inner energy and spiritual power, and looked directly at Xia Youjie, saying this.

"Oh...who do you think I am?" Xia Youjie's narrowed eyes flashed with an unreadable light.

"This is really interesting. You're lucky today!" Xia Youjie glanced back and saw that Hua Yu could no longer stop Gojo Satoru on the other side. "We'll meet again." After saying that, he leaped away. He couldn't meet Gojo Satoru face to face, at least not now.

"Huff..." Shinji Ikari swayed, his body shivering from blood loss. Kurosawa Aise gently embraced him. Shinji looked up at Kurosawa Aise, a forced smile playing on his lips. He spat out the icy blood from his mouth. He knew Kurosawa was channeling his power into his body through the photograph to suppress his injuries, but even so, he felt like he was freezing...

"Oh my god!" Gojo Satoru appeared next to Shinji Ikari. He waved to his students, who had some time to run over from their spectator positions, so he congratulated Shinji first.

Hanamichi, who had been holding off Gojo Satoru, also retreated underground after Natsuyuge withdrew. Gojo Satoru wasn't too interested in pursuing him; his priority now was protecting Shinji Ikari, who looked to be in very poor condition.

"What, do you expect me to yell 'I'm ashamed of myself' and strip him naked?" Shinji Ikari forced himself to sit up and looked at Gojo Satoru in front of him. Kurosawa Aise, in order to reduce the pressure on Shinji, had already returned to the photo. "I don't know whether I should thank you or wait until I'm healed to beat you up."

"Hahaha!" Gojo Satoru laughed. Shinji Ikari's complaint was very direct, after all, he had been watching the show from the sidelines. "Anyway, you removed an unregistered Special-Rank Cursed Spirit. Starting today, you're an S-Rank!"

"The price was enormous..." Shinji Ikari glanced at his slightly trembling hand. "I just saw Natsume Yuuki..."
