The person was chanting a curse, but their hands were wielding the black magic.

join in?

Fu Hei carefully pondered the word.

What's going on?

An invitation in the literal sense?

Are you trying to invite me to betray the Spellcasting Academy?

Fu Hei's alertness instantly rose to its peak, every muscle in his body tensed, and his cursed power flowed silently between his palms.

They were intently focused on every subtle expression, muscle twitch, and the trajectory of the flow of magical power from the two figures.

however.

Neither Shi Liulong nor Lu Ziyun revealed the slightest hint of murderous intent.

It's more like... excitedly waiting for an answer?

Even more strangely, the tense atmosphere between the two disappeared completely, and instead, there was a subtle sense of shared hatred and solidarity.

"Let's kill Lu Suo together!"

Lu Ziyun extended an invitation.

This was a completely unexpected development.

Why is Dou Suo Continent released before Dou Nuo Continent?

"That guy actually dared to interfere with our duel like that."

Lu Ziyun gritted her teeth:

"His meddling in my meals like this is disgusting. I probably won't forget him." Shi Liulong nodded emphatically from the side.

Fuhei listened in silence.

Although his original plan did include an attempt to recruit or exploit these powerful swimmers who might be hostile to Lu Suo.

But this went too smoothly!

Could it be that I also have the same passive ability as Haddock, "All men are brothers"?

Fighting a battle automatically unlocks more brothers.

"but."

Shi Liulong abruptly changed the subject.

"After that, once we've crushed the Lu Suo into dust, we must have one last, undisturbed battle between us! To settle all the previous victories and defeats!"

Lu Ziyun's lips curled up slightly:

"You should feel bad, Fushiguro, for not letting me have my fill last time! We have to have another match!"

Fu Hei suddenly felt a sense of trouble.

These two battle maniacs' thought processes inevitably circled back to the core issue of the thrill of combat.

What Fukuro needs is controllable, targeted combat power, not two unstable bombs that could turn on each other at any moment due to their itchy hands.

Aside from Lu Suo, Fu Hei needs a more powerful target to counterbalance and control the two, making them his own and useful to the High Institute.

After much contemplation, Fu Hei finally provided his answer:

"...How superficial, so incredibly superficial!"

Fu Hei vehemently denigrated the two men's invitation.

"What?!"

Lightning flashed instantly, and Lu Ziyun was clearly displeased.

"Did you awaken after traversing four hundred years of time just to seek revenge against Lu Suo, or to find an evenly matched opponent to fight?"

Fu Hei's voice gradually rose, becoming increasingly inciteful:

"Don't you want to challenge the one who truly stands at the pinnacle of this era, and even the entire history of sorcery over the past millennium—"

"The King of Curses—"

"Ryoumen Sukuna?!"

"Su Nuo..." Lu Ziyun's pupils suddenly contracted.

"That's right!" Fushiguro Megumi pressed her advantage.

"As long as you are willing to cooperate with the higher education institution, follow basic instructions, and not arbitrarily disrupt the plan, you can absolutely challenge the King of Curses together after dealing with Lu Suo!"

The Battle of Nuo Continent, activated!

"Seriously?!"

"This is a good thing!!"

The two agreed to Fu Hei's terms in unison, almost without hesitation!

"Brother, let's challenge Su Nuo together!"

Fu Hei added another layer to this exciting atmosphere.

"We've already called each other brothers, so what else is there to say? I can leave my [Phantom Beast Amber] to you."

Let's challenge Su Nuo together!

The three kings of Tokyo have now formed an alliance!

Is this the mutual respect between the strong?

This is so sweet!

Don't worry, with Brother Fu Hei by my side, this time I absolutely won't let one of you get away with it and the other become a piece of mango.

All three of us have a bright and promising future!

The three kings of Tokyo have teamed up!

However, real-world problems soon emerged.

"So what's our next step?"

Lu Ziyun asked, after all, he had absolutely no ability to gather intelligence.

"Yes, what do you want to eat?"

Shi Liulong remained true to his unchanging gourmet mindset.

When asked the question, Fukuro effortlessly summoned his magical power again.

"Ten Shadow Shikigami—"

"Jade Dog!"

A black and white, robust jade dog appeared as summoned and affectionately rubbed against Fu Hei's palm.

"rest assured."

Fu Hei patted the jade dog's head and looked at his two new brothers:

"My jade hound has a very keen nose. It has already memorized the scent of cursed energy on Lu Suo last time. As long as we follow the scent, everything will be fine!"

All three of them turned their gazes toward the direction the jade dog was pointing.

The next moment, the three kings of Tokyo swaggered through the broken streets of Tokyo with an air of ruthlessness.

The tracking process went surprisingly smoothly.

Jade Dog's sense of smell was exceptionally sharp, enhanced by Fuhei's magical power, and it quickly led them to an old theater with a crooked exterior.

"Here?"

Lu Ziyun was visibly stunned when she saw the dilapidated building in front of her, which was completely out of place with Lu Suo's scheming nature. She frowned in disbelief.

"I spent some time with Lu Suo in my past life, and I don't think he would hide here, given his character."

"Let's go in and test the waters first."

Shi Liulong also offered his insights.

The three exchanged glances and slowly walked into the theater.

……

……

Not far from the theater, there is a three-story office building that is also dilapidated but has an excellent view.

Before the shattered French windows, Hiromi Hitsugaya's gaze precisely captured everything that was happening at the theater entrance below.

The three strangely behaving figures, and their entire process of entering the theater.

"Advanced Spellcaster..."

The little imp in black clothes was the one the monk in the kasaya mentioned.

"A highly skilled sorcerer who is blinded by false righteousness, abuses his power, and needs to be judged."

Hiromi Nichisha's mind involuntarily replayed the conversation he had with the strange monk in the kasaya in this theater not long ago.

"I won't believe everything you say."

At the time, this was how Nichisha responded to Ryosaku's claim that the high school technician distorted justice.

"I will judge their good and evil through my own eyes, not through your own words."

He stuck to his principles.

Now is the time for him to fulfill his duty and begin his investigation.

He wanted to see for himself what these highly skilled sorcerers, whom Lu Suo had described as problematic, were really like.

Then, the Japanese car saw—

"Hey, this place is way too big! There's absolutely no clue here! Maybe I should just blast this place apart!"

Shi Liulong raised his loud, carefree voice again.

"Great idea! How about we have a competition to see who can clean this area more thoroughly first?"

Lu Ziyun also chimed in.

"Can you two be a little more rational?"

Fu Hei managed to stop the two in time.

"How could your destructive power possibly compare to my Guan Niu?!"

"Don't underestimate me!"

Watching the three men behaving recklessly in the theater, Riche gripped his gavel tighter, his expression growing increasingly ferocious.
