Chapter 429 - Chapter 429: Flying Is Prohibited in Racing Competitions

Soon after everyone arrived at the beach, every student felt a huge tremor.

"What, what? An earthquake?"

"It can't be a tsunami, can it?!"

As everyone watched in stunned silence, the sea before them suddenly parted, revealing a wide path, which then rose into a broad racing track.

"This path leads to the island where the Exchange Event's main venue is located. The team that reaches the island first and finds the Special Grade cursed tool, the Holy Grail, hidden on it will win this Exchange Event.

The team that obtains the Holy Grail can make one wish to us. As long as it is within a reasonable scope, we will make it come true."

This Special Grade cursed tool, the Holy Grail, was not the Holy Grail given to Eichi by the System, but a replica crafted by Medea and Tamamo-no-Mae after studying that Holy Grail.

In the Type-Moon world, there were indeed many Holy Grails more powerful than one of this Rank.

Moreover, in that world, not only were there many powerful Heroic Spirits who could craft Holy Grails for fun, but there were even Heroic Spirits who could casually pick up a Holy Grail to play with whenever they wanted.

Eichi's Throne of Heroes plan also required more Holy Grails to be placed around the world, connected to the Holy Grail given by the System, to absorb people's imaginings of Heroic Spirits on a global scale.

Unlike the current situation, where imaginings within Japan were directly absorbed through the Holy Grail or Tengen's barrier, while imaginings from overseas could only be absorbed after drifting over.

Furthermore, these imaginings could not only be used to summon Heroic Spirits, but after passing through the Holy Grail, they could also be transformed into pure Cursed Energy to support and operate the imaginary world.

'A wish that isn't excessive, huh?'

Upon hearing this, Noritoshi, whose eyes were usually narrowed to the point that they could barely be seen, opened them for an instant.

He had truly wanted to wish upon the Holy Grail to become the head of the Kamo Family just now.

But he quickly suppressed that thought in his heart.

Because in his opinion, this wish was a bit too difficult.

In Noritoshi's understanding, the Kamo Family was one of the Three Great Families in the Jujutsu World, and even Tokyo Jujutsu High had been founded with the support of the Three Great Families.

Therefore, he did not think that someone from Tokyo Jujutsu High could, in turn, decide the head of one of the Three Great Families.

In reality, what Noritoshi did not know was that, in a sense, as soon as he returned to the Kamo Family, he could immediately take over as head of the Family.

It would not even require Eichi and the others to interfere.

Because of Choso's retaliation, all male Jujutsu Sorcerers of the Kamo Family had died in battle.

Now, the strongest person there was a female Grade 2 Jujutsu Sorcerer in her forties, who had married into the Family from another Jujutsu Sorcerer Family.

However, after being brainwashed by the rules of a great Family for years, coupled with the tragic state of the Family and the external pressure that had begun to emerge, she desperately hoped to find a man who could nominally support the Kamo Family.

Therefore, as long as Noritoshi returned to the Kamo Family, he could immediately become the head.

Having been obedient her entire life, she had already lost the idea and ability to make her own decisions.

"Now, you can build your own vehicles in the crafting function and head to your destination."

As Eichi finished speaking, everyone immediately opened the crafting section in their attribute panel.

"What is this Strange Sea Pearl?"

Kasumi fell into contemplation as she looked at the two power source icons in the crafting interface.

Adhering to their policy of farming points safely and efficiently, they had always kept their distance from the Tokyo School students to avoid battles, so they had not seen the Millennium Pearl Kirin.

And because they had been farming monsters in the sea, they had not encountered the Ironclad Lava Emperor either.

"Hey, take these."

Three orbs, as if burning with flames inside, were thrown near Noritoshi and the others.

Among the enemies on the island, only the Ironclad Lava Emperor caught Todo's eye, so after he and Yuji discovered this large crab, they had been repeatedly blocking the entrance and farming it.

"These are?"

The group immediately stepped forward to look at the items Todo had given them.

"You guys, don't you dare hold me back."

With that, Todo turned and left, his arms crossed over his chest.

He was going to find his brother.

"He's still the same."

Momo sighed, rubbing her forehead.

"But his strength is indeed trustworthy."

On the other side, Yuji also found Megumi and the others with a Lava Orb.

"One is enough. We still have this."

Megumi took out two Strange Sea Pearls glowing with electricity.

Megumi, who had originally intended to use that platform as a base, gave up after discovering that Millennium Pearl Kirin constantly spawned there, and thus only obtained two Strange Sea Pearls.

According to the crafting interface, each race car could seat one to two people, so one Lava Orb was enough for them.

Then he gave Yuji some other materials for building a race car.

These materials were dropped by enemies like the Heavy Armored Crab, and they had many of them.

Conversely, Yuji and Todo, who had been constantly fighting bosses, were a bit short on materials.

Soon, everyone designed and crafted their race cars through the crafting interface.

The first to depart were Yuji and Todo.

The two of them sat one in front of the other in a rocket-shaped race car, with three thrusters at the rear continuously spewing flames.

"Time to accelerate, brother!"

Feeling the whistling wind beside his ears, Todo, his face full of excitement, floored the accelerator.

"So fast!"

This was his first time racing so wildly, and Yuji was also extremely thrilled.

"Wait! We're going to crash! Brake, Todo!"

Yuji, gripping the steering wheel, suddenly realized they were almost at a turn, and Todo was still accelerating.

Even Yuji, a novice driver, knew that turning the steering wheel at such high speed could easily cause a rollover.

"No need to brake. Full speed ahead!"

Todo's voice grew even more elated.

"There's a wall ahead!"

"Watch me!"

Todo took out a regularly shaped crab shell from his backpack, then pressed the accelerator with his left foot and stabilized his body with his right foot.

"Ora!"

The crab shell, enveloped in Cursed Energy, flew into the air, and Todo immediately sat down.

"We're going to crash, Todo!"

Even the big-hearted Yuji was a bit panicked at this moment.

Clap.

A crisp clapping sound rang out, and for the first time, Yuji found his brother's clapping sound so melodious.

Boom.

The crab shell flying in the sky suddenly appeared on the track and slammed into the wall by the roadside.

The rocket race car driven by Todo and Yuji flew into the air.

"Wow, awesome!"

Yuji excitedly watched their vehicle, which was still rapidly moving forward after soaring into the sky, his panic once again replaced by excitement.

Just then, Yuji suddenly remembered something.

"Speaking of which, Todo, how are we going to land?"

Yuji, who had designed and built the rocket race car with Todo, asked curiously.

"No problem, brother."

Hearing this, Yuji felt a tiny bit relieved.

"No need to land at all. We'll just go straight through!"

"What?!"

At this moment, Yuji's suspended heart completely died.

In the sky, unnoticed by them, a golden holy sword began to be projected from nothingness.

Golden light began to gather on the holy sword, finally transforming into a pillar of light that enveloped Yuji and Todo.
