A Ghoul with Grade 1 strength lasted less than five seconds in Miyauchi Hikage's hands.
Even Jogo, standing beside Kenjaku, had not expected this result at all.
He even felt a faint sense of alarm from the flames released by the other party, as if those flames could cause great harm even to him, a Cursed Spirit with a volcano on his head.
Although according to the strength standards of the Jujutsu world, a Grade 1 jujutsu sorcerer was evaluated as being able to steadily defeat a Grade 1 Cursed Spirit, and even have some power to fight back when facing a special-grade vengeful spirit.
But five seconds was a bit too fast.
Could it be that this brat who had just awakened not long ago already possessed special-grade power?
"He hasn't reached special-grade yet. The power of a special-grade is not that simple." Kenjaku, who had lived for thousands of years and seen countless heroes, gave an answer.
The gap between Grade 1 and special-grade was larger than the gap between Grade 4 and Grade 1.
Similarly, the gap between special-grades could also make countless talented people feel despair.
"It's just that the woman whose head was filled only with thoughts of eating had no brains. If she could really fully exert the power she currently possesses, that boy wouldn't be her opponent right now."
It was a pity that, while retaining her rationality, that foolish woman couldn't control her own power at all.
And that boy seemed to have seen through her situation as well. He used his full strength from the very beginning, defeating her with that sun-like swordsmanship before she fell into a rampage.
Kenjaku couldn't help but recall hundreds of years ago when he was traveling around looking for aging supernatural beings to form contracts with. He had indeed met Tsugikuni Yoriichi, the creator of this set of sword techniques, once.
Actually, in the thousands of years, there were many people stronger than Tsugikuni Yoriichi.
But relying solely on pure physical body and sword techniques to reach that level, even with his thousand-year lifespan, he had only seen Tsugikuni Yoriichi alone.
Unfortunately, as the price for a powerful body, the other party was born without any affinity for cursed energy or other supernatural powers. It belonged to a restriction even further than the Heavenly Restriction.
Even Fushiguro Toji, the Sorcerer Killer who almost killed Gojo Satoru ten years ago and was known as the Heavenly Tyrant, was far less stunning than Tsugikuni Yoriichi in terms of physical body and skills.
If the person who assassinated Gojo Satoru ten years ago had been Tsugikuni Yoriichi, then Gojo Satoru, who had not mastered the Reverse Cursed Technique at that time, would have been a dead man long ago.
Tsugikuni Yoriichi could even teach the secret of his powerful body to others in a special form through some method. Unfortunately, that kind of body was too much of a burden for ordinary people, and it couldn't be actively turned off after use, resulting in none of the ordinary people who used those methods living past the age of 25.
In the end, there haven't been many special people like Tsugikuni Yoriichi in a thousand years.
None of his successors could reach even thirty percent of his level.
Including this Miyauchi Hikage in front of him.
Don't be fooled by how imposing Miyauchi Hikage's swordsmanship and the flames he raised looked. If only speaking of sword skills, Miyauchi Hikage's sword skills were just at the level of those ordinary sword masters during the Warring States period.
Although he could barely go out and teach people, he was still far from the true sword masters of the inner world.
As for those flames?
Sun Breathing could indeed raise flames, that was true, but that relied on the power of the Nichirin Blade.
The flames formed by the sword qi produced when the special material in the Nichirin Blade collided with the spiritual power in the atmosphere had little to do with the swordsman.
But obviously, the flames created by Miyauchi Hikage were not that simple.
He could see that this was a flame induced by some special constitution of Miyauchi Hikage himself in cooperation with the Nichirin Blade under some special methods. Although it was powerful, it was only a fatal threat to those eerie Cursed Spirits, and did not put too much pressure on a curse user like him.
But this also confused him a little.
According to his intelligence, didn't that boy awaken the rather mysterious power of "Destiny"?
Swordsmanship and a special constitution... this made Kenjaku wonder if there was something wrong with his previous investigation.
But thinking about it carefully, Miyauchi Hikage awakened more than just those dime-a-dozen divination abilities.
The power of destiny was really too mysterious to talk about.
The power of space could only be said to be rare in the inner world, but in every era, a few strong men possessing the power of space would appear more or less. Even many times, using other means could achieve the effect of tearing space.
Just like Gojo Satoru's Unlimited Void had the ability to compress space to complete teleportation.
And although supernatural beings related to time were even rarer, in a thousand years, one could also see some geniuses who played with time.
As for destiny, it seemed that divination abilities were dime-a-dozen and not very useful, and one couldn't master the power of destiny at all, only passively describing the fragments they observed.
What really made people care were those naturally born people with strong luck.
He had truly witnessed some strong men rise at the speed of light and crush an era as if booked in advance by destiny.
The power of destiny was really too elusive.
At present, it seemed that Miyauchi Hikage had obtained both of these abilities at the same time to rise quickly after his supernatural awakening.
Perhaps, the degree to which he is favored by destiny goes even further? Kenjaku had such a thought in his mind.
That physique not inferior to ordinary Heavenly Restrictions, the achievement of reaching the results of ten years of hard cultivation by ordinary people after only half a month of practicing swordsmanship, and those eyes that could see through destiny, all indicated that in this era of spiritual resurgence, the other party would definitely not be a nobody in the future.
Should he kill him in advance before he grows up?
When this thought arose, a rare sense of fear arose in Kenjaku's heart.
No.
In a thousand years, he had seen many plotlines where the Destined One escaped thrillingly in various pursuits and finally rose quickly to kill the enemy with his own hands.
Even if he acted now, perhaps some incredible backer would suddenly pop up behind the other party to forcibly save him, which would instead expose their identities.
Moreover, according to his intelligence, Miyauchi Hikage seemed to possess the power to use the power of destiny for spatial transfer himself.
Facing such a person, no amount of caution was excessive.
He didn't survive until now by using all means just to become an insignificant villain in the story of a person favored by destiny.
"He is currently only a Grade 1. Even if he can become a special-grade this year, it's nothing to worry about." Kenjaku shook his head.
Even for people with strong luck, their improvement in strength was traceable.
The improvement of the other party's physique was almost reaching the limit, and it would take at least a few years to reach sword skills like Tsugikuni Yoriichi.
And his plan would start to be implemented this year, and if nothing unexpected happened, he would achieve his goal within half a year.
Could this boy grow to the level of Gojo Satoru or Ryomen Sukuna within half a year?
At least the current Kenjaku didn't think the other party could do such a thing.
And he knew that these Destined Ones needed to experience various hardships to temper their minds and complete self-breakthroughs in various environments with a narrow escape from death, thereby growing rapidly.
Similarly, if the reverse was done, letting such a Destined One practice on his own without any external pressure, then their speed of strength improvement would actually not be much faster than those geniuses of the same era.
As long as he could delay until the implementation of the plan, until the moment he changed the world, even destiny would have to stand on his side.
At that time, Miyauchi Hikage would be nothing to fear.
Of course, he still had to keep an eye on the people around Miyauchi Hikage now.
People around the Destined One were always prone to fall into various troubles, and eventually, they would all become nutrients for him.
But in this half-year, he didn't want such things to happen.
Perhaps he needed to use some of the connections he had accumulated.
If he didn't use them now, those so-called connections would be useless after half a year.
It would be best to let this adolescent boy indulge in the bevy of beauties around him during this last half-year.
He had seen many strong men fall because of beauty.
The Child of Destiny might not fall because of women, but as long as he temporarily stopped his steps forward on this road, it would be enough.
Kenjaku thought so, and then turned and left with the special-grade Cursed Spirits around him.
Miyauchi Hikage didn't know what Kenjaku, this fun-loving clown, was thinking in his heart.
He could only sense that the shadow he couldn't observe left after he solved Rize Kamishiro, and seemed to have no intention of coming over to greet him.
It seemed there was no need to contact Tohru.
If he knew that the other party regarded him as the Destined One of this era, and had specifically prepared a "degenerate" plan for him to develop peacefully, Miyauchi Hikage would really have to kowtow to him.
After all, who would have thought that he could continue to become stronger just by writing a diary peacefully?
What he needed now was an environment where he could develop peacefully.
After noticing that the group of people had left, Miyauchi Hikage's movements became much bolder.
Yellow Temperance secretly took two more bites.
Ghouls had always devoured humans, and now it was Rize Kamishiro's turn to feel what it was like to be devoured.
However, Yellow Temperance's devouring had always been tasteless, and Miyauchi Hikage didn't want to know what these Ghouls tasted like.
But looking at the changes in Yellow Temperance, after gnawing a few mouthfuls, it now had the ability to simulate the form of a Ghoul.
Miyauchi Hikage didn't waste time and directly began to test this power.
Yellow Temperance only needed to cover him to form tail-like Kagune behind him just like Rize Kamishiro. Unfortunately, this level of power didn't improve him much at present.
But anyway, it wasn't making him become a Ghoul, and he could clearly feel the improvement of his mental power. In the future, if he devoured a few more blind Ghouls, maybe he could even make his Stand achieve Kakuja transformation.
After researching for a while, Miyauchi Hikage casually projected some bandages. First, he bandaged Rize Kamishiro into an immobile mummy, and then used Yellow Temperance to turn himself into the appearance of the Bandaged Man.
It was reasonable for him to disappear for a few minutes to prepare to appear in this outfit, right?
It just happened to satisfy the hidden curiosity-seeking desire in the heart of that noisy guy Suzumiya Haruhi, lest she come up with any improper thoughts tonight.
In fact, Suzumiya Haruhi really noticed Miyauchi Hikage's disappearance.
Not long after Miyauchi Hikage left in the rain, Suzumiya Haruhi in the room blinked as if she thought of something, and then mysteriously ran to the room where Shinomiya Kaguya was to take a look.
"Where is Miyauchi? Weren't you chatting together just now?"
She looked at the katana held in Shinomiya Kaguya's hand and couldn't help but be a little curious.
"Hikage has some things to prepare, he'll be back soon," Shinomiya Kaguya had already contacted Jujutsu High, and the people over there should be able to arrive within twenty minutes.
Shinomiya Kaguya looked out the window. The rain outside had lessened a lot. She didn't know what the situation was on Miyauchi Hikage's side.
He said he would be back after she finished the call, but she had finished the call and there was no sign of him.
However, in the next moment, Suzuki Sonoko's scream rang out from the living room, immediately attracting the attention of both of them.
Suzumiya Haruhi's reaction speed was faster than Shinomiya Kaguya's, or rather, this was her subconscious reaction.
After arriving at the living room, Suzumiya Haruhi saw a weird man wearing a cloak, wrapped in bandages all over his body, revealing only one eye, walking slowly down from the upper floor of the villa holding a fruit knife.
Probably Suzuki Sonoko screamed because she saw this scene.
Not only Suzuki Sonoko, but even Itou Kaiji and Sakakibara Kouichi didn't look very good right now.
Only Suzumiya Haruhi, after being stunned for a few seconds, trotted over directly to carefully examine the outfit of this Bandaged Man.
"Did the culprit at that time dress like this? You prepared quite thoroughly, didn't you?"
Under the horrified faces of the few people in the living room, Miyauchi Hikage, transformed into the Bandaged Man, pointed upstairs: "I just spent some time replicating the method used by the culprit at that time. We can start filming when the rain gets a little lighter."
It wasn't until the sound of speaking came out that the people present breathed a sigh of relief.
"So it's you, boss. I thought a real Bandaged Man appeared." Even after experiencing the Kanoe Yuuko incident, the normal Itou Kaiji was as timid as ever.
Miyauchi Hikage waved his hand casually, and then looked at Suzuki Sonoko, who still had a somewhat unnatural expression on her face: "Sorry for scaring you just now. Kaguya and I discussed it, and appearing in this way can get some real feedback. If you don't want that segment just now to appear in the video, I can also edit your scenes out."
Miyauchi Hikage pointed to the small video camera in his hand.
Thinking of her embarrassing appearance just now, Suzuki Sonoko waved her hand with a flushed face: "How about we reshoot it?"
She didn't want her ugly appearance to be uploaded to the internet.
"It's okay. I'll edit it later and photoshop out your image and voice, Miss Suzuki."
Miyauchi Hikage said this, and then looked at Suzumiya Haruhi, who was still poking around on his body: "Although I'm quite happy that you recognized me at a glance, this outfit is quite troublesome to put on. Don't loosen those bandages."
