Chapter 103: Author's Setting (Please refrain from criticism if you disagree).
"Tsk tsk tsk! You two! Look closely! I'm not like that brain-dead thing!" Xia Youjie, who had appeared out of nowhere, pointed to his forehead with a grin and said, "I'm not that cursed spirit controlling my body! I'm the real me!"
Yu Xingji then realized that he had been puzzled by the line around Xia Youjie's forehead, and now he understood that his body was being controlled by some kind of cursed spirit... Hmm?
"Ahem, don't think too much about it. I can vouch for you! This guy is Xia Youjie himself. That one is just a cursed spirit controlling Xia Youjie's body, named Lu Suo." Li Muyang coughed lightly to vouch for Xia Youjie: "His resurrection is only temporary. As long as I leave Japan, he will have to return to the underworld."
"Resurrection?" x2
The two of them clearly couldn't believe it.
Xia Youjie nodded: "Yes, I'm already a dead man. This resurrection is only to assist the one beside you in completing a mission in Japan... which is to take care of Lu Suo and those few top-tier cursed spirits!"
Based on these vague statements, and considering that Yukichi and Miwa Kasumi didn't ask for details, Xia Youjie is at least a Special Grade expert, and Li Muyang is comparable to Gojo Satoru. In addition, the two of them said that Gojo Satoru is also somewhat in the know. Is that right? We'll find out by asking Gojo Satoru later.
A method that can bring the dead back to life—this is definitely extraordinary! Even if it's only temporary, the two dared not provoke them further! It also involves so many top-tier sorcerers; knowing too much could be fatal!
To put it simply, if Gojo Satoru also turned to the dark side, then the two of them would accept it! The whole world would be doomed!
It can only be said that Gojo Satoru's reputation in the world of jutsu is too high! This has led to a group of jutsu practitioners excessively deifying him! This belief has created Gojo Satoru's invincible status!
Negative emotions can form magical power. It's normal that this belief in trust created Gojo Satoru. Just as Ryosaku said before, sealing Gojo Satoru is equivalent to breaking the myth of Gojo Satoru's invincibility! When the sorcerers no longer believe that Gojo Satoru is invincible, this subtle power that supports Gojo Satoru in the dark will disappear!
Simply put, Gojo Satoru's strength is somewhat related to the perception of the group of sorcerers who trust him and believe he is invincible!
When most sorcerers no longer consider him invincible, then Gojo Satoru truly ceases to be invincible! The stronger they perceive him to be, the more likely Gojo Satoru is to grow stronger to that level! It's not that Gojo Satoru completely relies on this power; he himself might not even be aware of it, but he is certainly receiving this special boost!
It's similar to faith! It can also be understood as destiny!
Getting back to the point, with Xia Youjie's appearance, Xingji also understood that Li Muyang had given him another path: to leave with Xia Youjie. This would definitely save him a lot of trouble, and at least he wouldn't have to be at the mercy of others. However, at the same time, he would only be able to survive as a curse master from now on!
Freedom is fine, but... after glancing at Kasumi Miwa beside him, he and Kokichi still rejected the option.
Yes, this is love.
This choice was entirely within Li Muyang and Xia Youjie's expectations. Shaking their heads without saying anything, Xia Youjie quietly left first. After instructing the two not to reveal Xia Youjie's existence for the time being, Li Muyang took the two directly back to the college.
Yes, it's a high school in Tokyo!
Before settling things over with Kokichi, Miwa Kasumi didn't want to go back to Kyoto.
Well, love really does make people blind.
Li Muyang scoffed at this... I am a man of Sigma! I respect everyone equally!
However, with Gojo Satoru's guarantee, Miwa Kasumi obediently returned to Kyoto! This was because the trainees in Kyoto, according to the arrangements made with Kokichi beforehand, were preparing to leave Japan to carry out missions abroad, which was for their safety!
It has to be said that Kokichi really takes care of his teammates! Knowing that there are going to be huge changes in Japan, he specially transferred his teammates abroad. Of course, it's a bit selfish, but from a personal point of view, there's nothing wrong with it!
Without Mechanical Maru and Miwa Kasumi, the Kyoto team members will definitely realize something is wrong! What if they don't want to go abroad obediently? This was also Yukichi's own request; he couldn't let his personal affairs with Miwa Kasumi drag his classmates into trouble.
For the safety of the other students, after saying goodbye to Yukichi, Miwa Kasumi was secretly teleported back to the Kyoto vocational school campus by Li Muyang.
Well, I've talked at length, but it's actually not that long. The students didn't seem to have much doubt about Miwa Kasumi's disappearance... except for Anka-hime.
Angehime [?_??]: Where are the notes I asked you to collect?
Miwa Kasumi (；￣д￣): What?! I forgot again!
It just goes to show that women are born actresses.
On the other side, with Yukichi being taken away by Gojo Satoru, Li Muyang stopped worrying about things and went to rest, while also thinking about how to deal with Ryosaku and the others!
This time, he's truly captured their attention! Li Muyang is certain they're going to kill him! There's no guarantee they won't find some unconventional methods; for his safety, his own strength is the most crucial factor!
It's still not strong enough!
Especially in terms of spatial slashes, the damage is sufficient, but the range is not large enough! Li Muyang is thinking about how to improve his slashing techniques. A single slash is a bit weak against these top-grade cursed spirits that can regenerate their bodies!
Unless there are continuous spatial slashes that exceed their recovery limit, it must be continuous damage!
The problem is, those cursed spirits also know how to dodge and defend against damage! Just like my plasma cannon Rasengan, if those top-tier cursed spirits had taken enough damage, they would have died several times over! The problem is, in actual combat, it only makes them look very pathetic.
Accuracy and output efficiency are also issues. Is it that Li Muyang doesn't want to hit? He can't decide that! When you're poor, you use tactical flanking maneuvers; when you're rich, you use firepower coverage. Even with Xiaobai hiding energy on his back, it's impossible to maintain continuous coverage with such a wide-range, high-powered attack!
The mana pool and mana regeneration aren't that high!
To be honest, it's all jjxx's fault for being so unrealistic and making Li Muyang underestimate the difficulty of this world of sorcery!
Despite the claim that Gojo Satoru and Kakashi were evenly matched, Li Muyang, as someone who had experienced it firsthand, was willing to guarantee that the Gojo Satoru of this world could easily defeat the current Kakashi!
Note that the Kakashi Li Muyang knows is Kakashi shortly after Naruto's birth! He's just a Jonin, not the future Kakashi who uses Kamui to absorb people everywhere! He's at least a Kage! It's just that his chakra level isn't high enough.
Gojo Satoru, facing Kakashi at his peak, has very little chance of winning! But Kakashi, who is only a Jonin now, is unlikely to be instantly killed by Gojo Satoru, given the lack of information on both sides. However, his chances of winning are still quite high.
In terms of physical abilities, the two are roughly equal, with no significant difference. Kakashi himself is not a ninja in terms of physical constitution, while Gojo Satoru, relying on his limitless techniques, might actually be stronger.
Illusion? Hmm, that is indeed a bit troublesome, but Gojo Satoru's mental strength is not bad either. After activating the Boundless Void, he can completely break most illusions, as long as it's not a bug-level illusion like Kotoamatsukami.
Since genjutsu in the ninja world generally requires chakra to invade the opponent's mind or for them to see it in order to be effective, once you understand the principle, it's not difficult to counter it! Cursed power is energy born from negative emotions! It's essentially a type of Yin Release energy!
It's true that sorcerers are prone to turning to the dark side, but those who undergo training that exposes them to the influence of sorcery don't lack mental strength!
On the curse side, Gojo Satoru isn't entirely without a chance against the Five Kage-level ninjutsu. His Hollow Style: Zi is powerful enough to suppress most ninjutsu, at least those at the level of Bloodline Limit. Without shutting down the Limitless Technique, it's difficult for ninjutsu to inflict effective damage on him.
It's not a case of praising one and criticizing the other. To be precise, in the realm of curse techniques and the early ninja world, each has its own strengths. Chakra has greater destructive power, and curse power has the bug of the Reversal Technique. Fortunately, the Reversal Technique is not something that just any curse master knows.
Gojo Satoru is the strongest sorcerer. He has a chance of defeating the Five Kage-level opponents, but it will be difficult. There is a chance that he can achieve a surprise victory!
A top-tier sorcerer would have trouble dealing with a regular Kage-level opponent, but they have a chance of winning and can fight.
A level one sorcerer has a hard time dealing with a Jonin, but they can fight! It's just that their chances of winning aren't high! Their attack power is a bit lacking.
This can only be considered Li Muyang's estimate. There are too many decisive factors in actual combat, so this kind of estimate is not very reliable and can only be used as a reference.
For example, if Kugizaki, a level 2 sorcerer, were to use a sorcerer, he might not be able to reverse the spell, but once he obtained even a small amount of Kage-level flesh and blood, even a Kage-level ninja wouldn't be able to withstand his sorcery! That would directly damage the soul!
The Seven Arrows Book of Nailheads, like a curse!
For example, in long-range situations, most ninjas use ranged ninjutsu, which gives them a high win rate against sorcerers! Most sorcerers lack ranged abilities.
Or, when Kinji is in his lucky streak, he's basically a jutsu version of Hidan! He's unkillable!
Numerical values and abilities are both factors that determine victory or defeat. You might not be able to win; there are too many factors that determine a life-or-death battle! It all depends on the specific circumstances of the actual battle.
Of course, once those monsters from the later ninja world appear, the cursed techniques will have no chance of winning! Let alone one Gojo Satoru, even ten of them wouldn't be enough to fight! Even the peak Sukuna would only become Madara's toy!
The balance was maintained in the early stages mainly due to the curse techniques. The reversal technique setting meant that most ninjas in the ninja world were fragile! When facing Li Muyang or Lu Suo's spatial slash, they had almost no way to withstand it head-on and could only dodge to deal with it!
The Reversal Technique is not comparable to the Palm Immortal Technique, but rather to the recovery efficiency of the Immortal Body!
In a sense, Spatial Slash is similar to Dust Release, and may even be more powerful! Moreover, it has no wind-up animation before activation!
Moreover, the activation of spells here is generally very easy. Most of the time, it involves shouting or chanting a single incantation. There are only one or two hand seals at most. Many sorcerers can activate spells without uttering a sound.
Most ninjas in the ninja world use traditional hand seals, except for a few ninja oddities who don't use hand seals and can summon whatever they are told.
