Todo Aoi / Aoi Todo only needed to clap his hands, or clap hands with someone else, to activate Boogie Woogie.
Once Boogie Woogie was activated, it could swap the positions of two living beings or objects with Cursed Energy; it could be the enemy and himself, or the enemy and a teammate, or himself and a teammate.
Moreover, whether this Cursed Technique was activated or not was entirely up to his will.
In the original work, Todo Aoi / Aoi Todo and the protagonist Itadori, relying on Boogie Woogie, made the special-grade Cursed Spirit Hanami doubt life itself.
This Cursed Technique was very unsettling because the enemy never knew if they would be swapped, nor did they know if Todo Aoi / Aoi Todo would activate the Cursed Technique every time he clapped his hands.
However, Todo Aoi / Aoi Todo was now facing Maki Zen'in, the wielder of Heavenly Restriction, a Zero Cursed Energy constitution.
This meant that Todo Aoi / Aoi Todo's Boogie Woogie simply couldn't take effect.
Seeing Maki Zen'in's sword about to strike him, Todo Aoi / Aoi Todo hurriedly activated Boogie Woogie.
Clap, clap—
But Maki Zen'in was not affected by Boogie Woogie; the sword's edge was already resting on Todo Aoi / Aoi Todo's shoulder.
Todo Aoi / Aoi Todo opened his mouth: "You... why weren't you affected by my Cursed Technique?"
"Your Cursed Technique?" Maki Zen'in looked at Todo Aoi / Aoi Todo in surprise: "Sorry, did you just activate a Cursed Technique?"
Currently, Todo Aoi / Aoi Todo had only just begun learning Cursed Energy mastery from Yuki Tsukumo, and had just Awakened his exclusive Cursed Technique; he hadn't had time to learn other Jujutsu.
His only notable skills were his constitution and Boogie Woogie.
As a result, his constitution was inferior to Maki Zen'in's, and Boogie Woogie was naturally countered by Maki Zen'in.
However, Todo Aoi / Aoi Todo was not a sore loser; he obediently followed Maki Zen'in out of the forest.
"Todo, why did you come out so quickly?" Yuki Tsukumo asked.
"No choice, I was defeated." Todo Aoi / Aoi Todo shrugged helplessly.
"You? Defeated?" Yuki Tsukumo couldn't help but look at Maki Zen'in.
Yuki Tsukumo chose Todo Aoi / Aoi Todo as her Disciple precisely because of his unparalleled combat talent and considerable Cursed Energy.
In Yuki Tsukumo's opinion, Todo Aoi / Aoi Todo's talent was not beneath her own.
Although the time was short, Todo Aoi / Aoi Todo had already displayed outstanding talent and ability.
Given time, he would undoubtedly become another special-grade Jujutsu Sorcerer.
Yet now he had been defeated by Rosen's student.
This made Yuki Tsukumo feel a bit embarrassed.
"You arranged this, didn't you?" Yuki Tsukumo looked at Rosen.
"Why would you think that your one student could defeat my four students?" Rosen retorted.
Yuki Tsukumo laughed: "I didn't really expect him to win; my real goal was to fight you."
Todo Aoi / Aoi Todo felt a wave of frustration, feeling like his teacher had played a trick on him.
"Mr. Luo, please enlighten me."
Suddenly, three terrifying Cursed Energy fluctuations came from another direction in the forest.
Rosen and Yuki Tsukumo simultaneously looked in the direction from which the three auras came.
A giant, pitch-black lizard-shaped Cursed Spirit charged towards them, crashing through everything in its path. The giant lizard was a hundred meters long, and with every step, the ground rumbled.
On the back of the giant lizard were two more Cursed Spirits, both of normal human size, but their Cursed Energy was no weaker than the giant lizard's.
Three special-grade Cursed Spirits!!
The three Cursed Spirits stopped a hundred meters in front of Rosen and Yuki Tsukumo.
At the same time, Kenjaku / Juan Suo was observing the situation through Jujutsu.
These three special-grade Cursed Spirits were brought by him.
The purpose was to test Rosen's strength.
In fact, Rosen taking on this mission was also arranged by him.
These three special-grade Cursed Spirits were not the mindless kind.
Even among special-grade Cursed Spirits, they were considered high-tier, all possessing powerful combat abilities and intelligence no less than that of humans.
Over a thousand years, Kenjaku / Juan Suo had gathered many special-grade Cursed Spirits and outlined a grand blueprint for them, making them willingly participate in his plan, and these three special-grade Cursed Spirits were no exception.
The largest lizard, named Thousand Destructions, had an exclusive Cursed Technique called Hundred Mukuro Return, which allowed it to consume Jujutsu Sorcerers or Cursed Spirits with Cursed Energy, or even Cursed Tools, for a short period, storing all their Cursed Energy within its body, and then using it during combat.
It could store up to ten times the Cursed Energy of a special-grade Cursed Spirit.
The other two special-grade Cursed Spirits were Snow Fool and Yaksha.
The three of them were all famous ancient monsters.
To test Rosen's strength, Kenjaku / Juan Suo specifically summoned these three special-grade Cursed Spirits.
Of course, if the three of them could kill Rosen directly, that would be for the best.
After all, Kenjaku / Juan Suo's current body was nearing its limit, and he urgently needed a powerful body to serve as his vessel.
Originally, his most favored body was Geto Suguru / Suguru Geto's; Geto Suguru / Suguru Geto's Cursed Technique, Cursed Spirit Manipulation, was what he needed most.
Unfortunately, he currently had no confidence in directly killing Geto Suguru / Suguru Geto and taking his body.
So he could only settle for the next best thing and search for other suitable bodies.
Rosen and Yuki Tsukumo exchanged glances.
"How about another bet?" Yuki Tsukumo asked.
"Is it with these three special-grade Cursed Spirits as the object of the gamble?"
"Exactly."
Yuki Tsukumo didn't need to specifically explain the rules.
Rosen could roughly understand that whoever killed two, or whoever performed the best, would win.
"Is there a prize for this gamble?"
Yuki Tsukumo thought for a moment: "I can offer ten Grade 1 Jujutsu."
"Alright, you and I will each put up ten Grade 1 Jujutsu as the prize."
Both looked at the three special-grade Cursed Spirits simultaneously.
"Then, let's begin!"
