Curse Returns: Eight Extraordinary Skills? I lack nothing.

The moment the blade was drawn, a crescent-shaped azure sword aura slashed out, aiming straight for the panda's chest.

The distance was too close; there was no way to avoid it.

The panda blocked the sword strike with both fists in front of its chest, taking the hit head-on.

"boom!"

The sword energy exploded, and the panda was blasted away, crashing onto the ground at the edge of the arena.

He rolled twice on the ground, stopped, and stood up.

Two intersecting white marks have appeared on the two bear paw patterns on the chest.

A piece of white down was shaved off by the sword energy, revealing the core skin of the cursed skeleton underneath.

The panda looked down at its chest and remained silent for a moment.

Sanlun stood there, leaning on his katana, panting heavily.

Sweat dripped down his forehead and onto the ground.

The Flowing Cloud Sword is indeed powerful, but it also consumes a lot of mental energy.

She's only just started learning, so to achieve this level is already an extraordinary performance.

The panda patted the dust off its chest and strode towards her.

"That's about it," he said.

The tricycle raised its head.

There was no fear or hesitation in her eyes.

He raised the katana in his hand once more, and the white aura re-condensed on the blade.

She hasn't given up yet.

The panda paused slightly as it looked into her eyes.

"...You're not really planning to fight me to the death, are you?"

Sanlun didn't answer, but simply gripped the katana in his hand even tighter.

On the sidelines, the Kyoto School students clenched their fists nervously.

The voice of the geisha rang out amidst the clamor of cheers.

Sanlun took a deep breath and forcibly circulated the little Qi he had left in his body, causing the katana to vibrate and hum once more.

The panda also assumed a sprinting stance...

"The third match is between Momo Nishimiya from Kyoto School and Nobara Kugizaki from Tokyo School."

Momo Nishimiya stepped out from the Kyoto school's camp.

Her light golden twin ponytails swayed gently in the night breeze, and the small bell collar around her neck made a crisp sound.

She was wearing a black combat suit, with a pair of slender legs exposed beneath her short skirt, and she held a broom in her hand, the handle gleaming darkly in the moonlight.

She also has a cheat code.

But it's not the Flowing Cloud Sword.

The protagonist gave her another ability from the world of supernatural beings—the ability to manipulate objects.

The core of the art of manipulating objects lies in "controlling objects with thoughts." The stronger the intention, the stronger the power to control the object.

Nishimiya Momo's original technique was "Tsukumogami," which was specifically designed to manipulate old objects. The principle of this technique is not unrelated to the principle of object manipulation; in fact, they are almost identical.

She merged the two systems together, forming her own unique fighting style.

The results were outstanding.

Kugizaki Nobara stepped out of the Tokyo school's camp.

Her short orange hair stood out under the lights, and she wore a black college uniform with nails jingling from her waist.

He held that iconic iron hammer in his hand.

The two stood in the center of the field.

Kugizaki looked at Momo Nishimiya, a smirk playing on his lips: "I heard you've gotten quite strong lately?"

Nishimiya Momo remained expressionless.

She wasn't planning on chatting.

"start!"

Kugizaki made the first move.

With a powerful push off the ground with his right foot, his body shot out like a cannonball, and the iron hammer was raised high to smash down on Nishimiya Peach.

It is powerful, fast, and unpretentious.

Just a second before the hammer was about to strike, Nishimiya Momo's broom moved.

She leaped into the air, easily dodging the attack.

Kugizaki's hammer slammed into the ground with a loud "boom," creating a large crater and sending debris flying.

She looked up at Xigong Tao, who was suspended in mid-air.

Does flying high guarantee victory?

With a flick of his right hand, a nail flew out, whistling through the air as it headed straight for Xigong Tao's face.

Nishimiya Momo didn't dodge.

She simply moved her fingers.

The nail was driven into an invisible wall.

To be precise, it was blocked by an invisible layer of telekinesis.

The Art of Manipulating Objects – This technique uses mental power to create a barrier around the body, which can not only defend against physical attacks but also sense fluctuations in magical power.

Nishimiya Momo slowly raised her right hand, her five slender fingers slightly bent.

The gravel beneath Kugizaki's feet suddenly trembled.

A piece of rock the size of a fist rose from the ground, hovered in mid-air, and then flew towards Kugizaki.

It's not fast, but the angles are tricky.

Kugizaki sidestepped.

Another piece of gravel flew up.

Another one.

more and more.

In less than three seconds, all the gravel and dust on the field were mobilized by Xigong Tao, swirling around her and forming a vortex of fragments.

This scene could easily be described as a small sandstorm.

Kugizaki twirled the hammer in his hand.

"Are you going to move the entire venue?"

Nishimiya Momo looked down at him calmly.

"Why don't you try it and you'll see?"

She pushed her hands forward.

The flying pebbles and dust instantly coalesced into a giant fist shape, hurtling straight towards Kugizaki.

Its speed and angle were so extreme that it gave the opponent no time to think.

Kugizaki's pupils contracted, and her body jerked backward. The rubble fist grazed her chest before exploding, scattering into countless pieces of rubble across the ground.

She wasn't hit, but she was covered in ash.

She coughed twice and patted her clothes.

"Now my clothes are all dirty..."

Before she could finish speaking, another piece of gravel flew from behind her.

Ding!

The hammer swept across, deflecting it precisely.

Kugizaki clicked his tongue.

She was constantly on the defensive, unable to find an opportunity to retaliate. With Xigong Tao in the sky, her nails had to be aimed precisely to be effective.

She took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

He activated his full power of spell perception.

Nishimiya Momo's figure, aura, and the flow of her incantation power were all imprinted in his mind.

He gripped the hammer, pulled a nail from his waist with his right hand, and aimed at Nishimiya Momo's position.

"nail--"

It was thrown out suddenly.

The nail, like a bolt of lightning, leaving a trail of afterimages, hurtled straight towards Nishimiya Momo's chest.

Xi Gongtao frowned slightly.

The psychic barrier reappeared, and the nail struck it with a crisp sound.

But it didn't stop completely.

The curse power injected into this nail far exceeded that of the previous ones. The psychic barrier only blocked 70% of the force, while the remaining 30% flew towards Nishimiya Momo despite the obstacle.

Nishimiya Momo turned her head away.

A nail flew past her ear, shaving off two strands of her golden hair.

She glanced down at the falling strands of hair, then looked at Kugizaki on the ground, her tone tinged with surprise.

"You almost hit me this time."
