I am the Executioner Dragon, but a cute mod

Gojo Satoru raised an eyebrow, clearly doubting Shiki Yunichi's somewhat arrogant words.

Lu Ziyun's statement:

"You're welcome to give it a try."

These words immediately created a tense atmosphere. The two stared at each other, neither making the first move, as if whoever made the first move would be at a disadvantage.

Principal Moth and Natsumi Eri just watched the two of them without saying a word to stop them. This competition was different from the last one. Last time it was a fight, this time it was a friendly exchange.

"Principal, who do you think will win?"

The two remained locked in a stalemate for a long time without making a move. After watching for a while, Natsumi Eri also got bored. She looked at Principal Moth, hoping to relieve her boredom with a few words.

Principal Moth did not answer immediately. He pondered for a few seconds and then said:

"I do not know."

"what?"

Natsumi Eri was somewhat surprised by the answer. She had thought the answer would be Gojo Satoru, or at the very least Shika Shionichi. She wondered what it was.

But then she thought about it again and felt that there was nothing wrong with this answer. After all, Lu Ziyun became the strongest four hundred years ago without any domain, so she must have some skills to rely on.

The strangest thing is to blindly believe that someone will win.

Just as Xia Youhui was pondering who was stronger between Wujiao Wunai and Shishiyun, the two finally made a move.

At first, Lu Ziyun didn't want to drag things out for too long and was prepared to launch the first attack. Just as he flicked his finger, Gojo Sōno rushed forward, and the fight began.

The moment they clashed, they exchanged blows and countered each other's moves. Their speed was so fast that they were just afterimages, and for a moment neither could gain the upper hand.

However, upon closer inspection, it can be seen that with the enhancement of lightning spell power, Shiki Yunichi's speed is even a few points faster than Gojo Satoru's.

Even Gojo Satoru was impressed by such speed: "He truly lives up to the name [Thunder God]."

Just as the two were locked in a stalemate due to their equally matched physical skills and were about to begin a long and fierce battle, Gojo Satoru quietly used the technique Shun Zhuan Cang, his figure blurred, and he suddenly appeared behind Shiro Shiyun.

This sudden turn of events disrupted Lu Ziyun's offensive rhythm. He hurriedly turned around to look for the curse power, but before he could see Gojo Sōno's position, a finger had already poked his forehead.

After a moment of silence, the scene was eerily quiet following the end of this battle that had been evenly matched not long before. Only after a long while did Lu Ziyun's plaintive voice finally break through:

"You're cheating..."

"It's not cheating."

When Gojo Satoru said this, there was absolutely no remorse or guilt in her tone, and her reasons were perfectly valid:

"According to known information, Orochi also possesses the ability to teleport. If your reaction speed cannot keep up with the speed of teleportation, then where will you have an advantage in fighting Orochi?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ziyun fell silent. Although Gojo Satoru might be making excuses for her own dishonesty, what she said was indeed correct.

Against an opponent capable of teleportation, mere speed offers no chance of victory. Lu Ziyun understood this perfectly, so he felt neither anger nor resentment. He looked at Gojo Satoru, at this white-haired, blue-eyed woman, and lowered his head slightly.

"Teach me..."

The appearance of these two words left the three people, including Gojo Gono, somewhat bewildered.

Gojo Satoru used the technique "Shunshou Sora" to teleport because she had no interest in continuing the stalemate in this battle. In addition, with Natsume Eri and Principal Yagami watching, she couldn't afford to lose.

He thought that after hearing this reason, which was clearly an excuse for himself, Lu Ziyun would either get angry or at least show dissatisfaction, but instead he said, "Teach me."

At this moment, Gojo Satoru realized that the person standing in front of him was not just an ancient sorcerer, nor the thunder god who had dominated the world four hundred years ago, but a cultivator.

He dedicated his entire life to training for battle.

Gojou Satoru's gaze softened, and facing Shiki's earnest gaze, she responded:

"it is good."

With seven days remaining until Gojo Satoru's duel with Yamata no Orochi, he will be giving Shiki Yunichi special training during this time, focusing on improving his reaction speed.

Gojo Satoru believes:

"Your spell power is imbued with lightning attributes. You can try using lightning to stimulate your cells, making them more active and thus increasing your speed."

But Lu Ziyun stated:

"I started doing this four hundred years ago. Although I don't know the principle, the curse power flowed through my body and unexpectedly achieved this goal."

Is that so?

Gojo Satoru fell into deep thought. He hadn't really researched improving reaction speed much. He only knew about using lightning to stimulate cells from the manga "Naruto".

[How can we improve Lu Ziyun's reaction speed?]

Gojo Satoru was pondering when, after a while, a fly that had been lying in the corner shook its wings and began to fly around the room haphazardly.

Although the inviolability brought by her lack of limits allowed Gojo Satoru to isolate herself from all external things, the buzzing of the fly's wings annoyed her. With a wave of her hand, the fly nimbly dodged, and with another wave, the fly still dodged.

"Ok?"

Gojo Satoru looked slightly puzzled. She looked at the fly, and the information processing ability that her six eyes gave her allowed her to easily see every cell of this lowly creature.

She was stunned at first glance, then suddenly remembered something and quickly said to Lu Ziyun:

"I understand. To improve your reaction speed, you must stop thinking."

"Stop thinking?"

Lu Ziyun couldn't understand Gojo Satoru's words. In his opinion, if you stop thinking, how can you fight? Rely purely on instinct? That's utter nonsense.

Gojou Satoru noticed Shiki's confusion. She smiled and pointed to the fly buzzing around the leftover milk beside her.

Did you know that flies react so quickly because their brains are simple, and they process information and convey instructions almost simultaneously?

The human body is far more complex than a fly's. The process of seeing → analyzing information → assessing danger → issuing instructions → acting is far too lengthy. Therefore, to improve reaction speed, we must simplify the process.

"Subtraction?"

Lu Ziyun pondered for a moment, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes:

"You mean I need to skip the steps of analyzing information and assessing danger, and just act the instant I see it?"

Gojo no Satoru nodded, but Shiki Yunichi frowned:

"You make it sound simple. If you give up thinking, you'll be easily deceived by the enemy in battle and fall into a disadvantageous position. Think about it again."

Hearing this, Gojo Satoru wasn't angry. She smiled and said:

"Stop talking. I happen to know someone who can do that. I'll take you to meet him."

After saying that, Gojo Satoru, without waiting for Shiki Yun to say anything, led him away from the High School of Spellcasting and headed towards the Hōsei Palace.

Chapter 136: Just Feel

The Hōsei Palace is where Tengen resides, and Fukushige, as Tengen's guard, naturally stays on the outer perimeter of the Hōsei Palace.

He crossed his arms, looking at the utterly destroyed ancient buildings and the protective glow emanating from the exposed roots of the ancient trees, and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement:

"Who exactly is that person? Such an attack seems as simple as breathing to her. What will she do to Tianyuan? She hasn't come out for so long. Could she be an old friend of Tianyuan?"

Fuheishen guessed, and the purple figure reappeared in his mind. Not long ago, when he met the eyes of the figure, he clearly knew that the gap between them was not just a chasm or an insurmountable barrier. If he really had the intention to kill... he would definitely die!

"What a hassle. I should have known better than to take this kind of job. If I had been more frugal, I wouldn't be in this situation..."

Fuheishen rubbed his temples listlessly, pondering whether he should escape from here. Just then, a series of light footsteps came from the entrance of the Hongxing Palace.

Fuhe Shen'er looked over and, judging from the frequency, realized that there were two people approaching. He then listened to the weight of the footsteps and determined that it was a man and a woman.

[An enemy? No, the footsteps aren't hurried; they're probably just people coming to Tianyuan to gather intelligence...]

Having reached this conclusion, Fuheshen stopped paying attention to the entrance to the Star Palace. He glanced at the barrier of the ancient tree roots and thought about changing jobs after finishing this year.

Perhaps going back to my old profession wouldn't be bad; in this world, grudges and affections unfold every single day.

Fuheishen was lost in thought when, in a short while, the footsteps of Hongxing Palace grew closer and closer until they stopped. Then, a voice he knew all too well rang out:

"Fu Hei, it's been a long time."

Following the sound, they saw a white-haired, blue-eyed man. Fu Heishen turned his head and, upon seeing the newcomer, his eyes widened slightly in disbelief.

"Five? What are you doing here?"

"Why can't I be here? Wait, why do you look so guilty?"

Gojo Satoru keenly noticed the subtle changes in the muscles on Fushiguro Jinji's face. Based on her experience, she knew that Fushiguro Jinji was definitely hiding something from her.

"You're not going to just sit around doing nothing while you're getting paid, are you? I knew it. But as long as there are no problems with the Hōsei Palace, it's okay to slack off a bit. With your abilities, I believe no one can get to the Hōsei Palace..."

As Gojo Satoru said this, she walked toward Fushiguro Jinji, but the closer she got, the faster Fushiguro Jinji's eyelids twitched.

At this moment, Gojo Satoru realized something was wrong, but she still had a smile on her face until she reached Fushiguro Jinji's position, at which point her smile froze.

Fukuro Jinji rubbed his forehead, let out a long sigh, and looking at Gojo Satoru's increasingly pale face, he said:

Can I explain?

Gojo Satoru looked at Fushiguro:

"You had better satisfy me."

Thus, Fukuro Jinji explained in detail everything he had seen to Gojo Satoru and shared his speculation about Tengen Musashi's situation.

Upon learning that the enemy was so formidable that even Fushiguro Jinji dared not fight, Gojo Satoshi's expression improved considerably, but she still said:

"Tengen absolutely cannot have any problems. If something happens to her, the entire barrier in Japan will be compromised. Let me go and take a look."

Before Fubuki could stop her, Gojo Satoru was about to head to the ancient tree barrier to check on Tengen's condition. However, before she could act, a voice came from within the barrier. Gojo Satoru had heard this voice many times before; it was Tengen's voice:

"Gojo Satoru, this is Tengen. I'm fine. Don't bother me."

Upon hearing this, Gojo Satoru paused in her movements. Her first thought was, "It's good that you're alright," but she also had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

However, since Tengen said she was alright, then she was alright. Gojo Satoru didn't linger on this for too long, since she came here to have Fushiguro Jinji teach Shiro Ichi.

After telling Fuheishen about Lu Ziyun and the Yamata no Orochi, Fuheishen became interested. He was the kind of guy who craved to fight the strong, and after comprehending the core of the physical body, there were almost no strong enemies who could fight him.

Upon hearing about Yamata no Orochi, he stated:

"Rather than having me teach him, let me go and fight the Yamata no Orochi."

Gojo Satoru persuaded Fushiguro Jinji to abandon her plan to fight Yamata no Orochi with just one sentence:

"What will happen to Hui if you die?"

Upon hearing this, Fushiguro Jinji, who had been quite interested, paused. Although he seemed to care little about his son Fushiguro Megumi, and even sold him to the Gojo family, in this world, besides Megumi's mother, Megumi was the person he cared about most.
