"Well then, let's start the battle here."
Alex Moyan said with a faint smile, looking at the woman before him with an expression of amusement.
Tsukimi Yuki took a brief look around and found that they were in a remote, uninhabited forest deep in the mountains.
There were no towns or signs of human life for dozens of miles; it was a truly desolate place.
Tsukimi Yuki stood with one hand on her hip, her confident eyes fixed on the young man before her.
"You chose a good spot. This way, I can let loose and give you a proper lesson."
"Are you sure you don't want to bring your friend Shoko along?"
"Once I've crippled you in a moment, it would be good to have someone there to treat you."
Alex Moyan waved his hand dismissively and said with a playful grin, "It's fine, it's fine. I know the Reverse Cursed Technique too."
Tsukimi Yuki was somewhat surprised. "I didn't expect a brat like you to know so much."
"Not only can you fly, but you also know the Reverse Cursed Technique."
Alex Moyan chuckled. "Hehe, even if you praise me like that, I won't get cocky."
The reason the two of them could reach this location so quickly was due to Alex Moyan's flight ability.
"Enough talk. Let me see if your status as a Special Grade is the real deal."
Tsukimi Yuki loosened her muscles, her joints letting out series of crisp pops.
"Is it starting?"
"Wait a second first," Alex Moyan said.
Tsukimi Yuki looked puzzled, wondering if the kid was already getting cold feet.
"Hey, brat, you're not scared, are you?"
"Even if you're scared, Big Sister is still going to teach you a lesson."
Tsukimi Yuki grinned, already imagining the scene where Alex Moyan would be clinging to her leg, calling her 'Big Sister' and begging for mercy on his knees. The thought filled her with immense satisfaction.
"No, no, I'm just putting up a Curtain to prevent the shockwaves of our battle from accidentally hurting others."
As he spoke, a black sphere appeared in Alex Moyan's hand.
With a whoosh, the Curtain flew toward the sky. Moments later, a massive Curtain descended like a giant black bowl turned upside down.
It actually completely enveloped the mountains for dozens of miles around.
Looking at the black Curtain slowly spreading across the sky,
Tsukimi Yuki could feel that this Curtain was incredibly sturdy.
She even had the feeling that Alex Moyan's mastery of barriers was not inferior to Tengen's.
But Tsukimi Yuki felt that something was off.
Even though Alex Moyan had teased her and they were both Special Grades,
this was essentially a spar. There was no need for such a massive Curtain.
Wait! Something's wrong!
Tsukimi Yuki's gaze turned sharp as she looked at the nonchalant, seemingly unreliable Alex Moyan nearby.
For the first time, she felt a sense of threat!
Seeing Tsukimi Yuki's wary expression, Alex Moyan grinned.
What should have been a sunny, youthful smile now appeared sinister and terrifying in Tsukimi Yuki's eyes!
"Ah, I've been found out."
Alex Moyan's smile widened, full of playfulness, yet carrying killing intent and a sense of conspiracy.
"Brat, what are you trying to do!" Tsukimi Yuki shouted, her gaze shifting from mere wariness to open hostility.
Alex Moyan gave a sinister laugh. "What am I doing? Nothing much. I just simply feel that in the Jujutsu World, one Special Grade Sorcerer is enough."
Hearing this, Tsukimi Yuki reacted instantly.
Perhaps since the time at Jujutsu High—no!
This kid must have planned this step a long time ago!
Tsukimi Yuki couldn't help but think of some secret information she had heard recently.
The news about the Jujutsu Higher-ups being blackmailed by Alex Moyan.
"This kid... he doesn't want to kill me and then dominate the Jujutsu World, does he?"
Tsukimi Yuki's gaze suddenly turned grave, and a wave of monstrous rage swept through her mind.
At this moment, Tsukimi Yuki was like a lioness bristling with fury.
Until her anger was extinguished, she would destroy everything in front of her!
"You're looking for death!"
Watching Tsukimi Yuki, whose killing intent was beginning to boil,
Alex Moyan wore a satisfied smile.
Although he knew of Tsukimi Yuki's existence in his past life, he didn't know what her Cursed Technique actually was.
He only knew she had become a Special Grade Sorcerer before Satoru, so her strength must be immensely powerful, perhaps not inferior to Gojo's.
After all, the anime hadn't caught up to that point yet. Alex Moyan believed that in the later parts of the story, Tsukimi Yuki must have a very powerful showing, the kind that was incredibly fierce.
(The protagonist transmigrated after finishing the Hidden Inventory Arc anime and hadn't read the manga.)
The innate conditions for a powerful sorcerer are twofold: first, the amount of Cursed Energy storage, and second, the Cursed Technique engraved within their body!
Alex Moyan was looking forward to what kind of surprise Tsukimi Yuki would bring him.
The Cursed Techniques provided by the current Quasi-Special Grade Satoru and Geto Suguru were already bug-level, essentially conceptual and rule-based, and incredibly cool.
Of the four Special Grades, excluding Yuta Okkotsu who was still a young child and hadn't awakened yet,
only the Cursed Technique of Tsukimi Yuki, the earliest to become a Special Grade Sorcerer, remained for him to comprehend.
Alex Moyan couldn't exactly go to the several-year-old Yuta Okkotsu to comprehend anything.
Setting aside whether the current Yuta Okkotsu even knew jujutsu, it was unknown if his jujutsu hitting Alex Moyan's body would even trigger the Heaven-Defying Comprehension.
One must know that the conditions for triggering Heaven-Defying Comprehension were very strict.
And the more powerful the Cursed Technique, the stricter the conditions; the opponent must be forced to go all out.
A simple spar would never reach that level.
Alex Moyan had planned this setup long ago.
Only a battle filled with killing intent could lead to the comprehension of better jujutsu.
Alex Moyan was very expectant of what kind of surprise Tsukimi Yuki could bring him!
—————
"So, Ms. Tsukimi Yuki, would you please die here?"
Alex Moyan unzipped his jacket, revealing his mouth which had been covered by the collar.
He spread his arms, a morbid, obsessed smile appearing on his face.
Tsukimi Yuki likewise revealed a ferocious, murderous smile.
"It's not yet certain who will die! Brat, I know your Cursed Technique like the back of my hand, and I'm very clear on your intel as well."
"I'll show you just how massive the gap between Special Grades can be!"
In the next second, Tsukimi Yuki's figure vanished from the spot, leaving behind only a massive crater.
One could imagine just how terrifying the power she had just unleashed was.
When Tsukimi Yuki reappeared, a fist had already entered Alex Moyan's field of vision.
Alex Moyan's figure suddenly vanished, dodging the violent strike.
The next moment, a voice came from mid-air.
"Thunder."
Rumble! A massive thunderous roar suddenly exploded, shaking heaven and earth.
"Lightning."
Alex Moyan opened his mouth, and a bolt of white lightning shot out from it.
It streaked toward Tsukimi Yuki at a speed that was impossible to dodge.
With a thunderous crash, a bolt from the blue exploded, and dust billowed.
As the smoke cleared, following the law of'smoke but no damage,' Tsukimi Yuki was completely unharmed.
Alex Moyan also knew that such small tricks couldn't possibly work on a Special Grade Sorcerer; it was mainly used as a probe.
At the same time, Tsukimi Yuki was very surprised. She hadn't expected that Cursed Speech could be used this way.
This was completely unreasonable!
How could Cursed Speech be like this?
Tsukimi Yuki looked at Alex Moyan in the sky, her brow furrowed tightly.
As expected, anyone who can become a Special Grade Sorcerer is not that simple. This is truly troublesome!
