(still waiting btw  ) and actually there's two interesting things Fuhai said: the first is after sparing with Tsukune in his elder form: you cannot reach Akua's level in this lifetime" ... and then after that, when Tsukune insisted on "becoming a shield at least, for his friends and Moka" THEN he said sth. like "oh well, if you just want to be able to block jigen-tou there is one chance: human modification."
So actually Fuhai said he can't get him there, though he might be able to block. Having that in mind I actually really find it doubtful that he could beat Akua - then again, gotta keep in mind Fuhai said that prior to realizing about the shinzo power part. So aeh, well I dunno  . Chances are high he cannot use it after one month - in any case it would be asspull if he could beat Akua the uber-prodigy with her own chosen weapon of choice about which even Fuhai acknowledges that she has surpassed him already (well "hand to hand" he said, but you use your hands for jigen-tou, so I take it he refers to her mastering the "full jigen-tou attack" he pulled himself, after witnessing it once only ...)
What does come to mind btw - in that chapter where Fuhai fought Akua(37 I think), AFTER they both used the fully powered jigen-tou Akua found out about Moka being hidden behind the barrier - and she attacked it with jigen-tou and it withstood it at least for a couple of panels before it crumbled from it - maaaybe he'll teach him a move like that barrier (he did not anticipate that Akua noticed them hidden behind it, so maybe that barrier seal there wasn't the stongest he can do) - like in ch43 that roundish seal like the ones Fuhai uses appeared above his elbow when he cast the Fuhai style attack - maybe he'll have gained two say half meter size "seals" for each elbow with which he can fight as if he had jigen-tou resistent elbow pads? That might actually make for a nice lookin fight. A totally different problem though is matchin Akua's hax speed - Akasha was suprised by it when they fought, and she was fast enough to dodge even Fuhai's full force jigen-tou from some 10 meters distance ... if he ain't fast enough it really doesn't even mater which technique he gained I think ...

Well, if we look at Tsukune's "berserk form" capabilities, I think that Tsukune shouldn't have a drawback in terms of speed, when fighting with Akua.
After all, what his berserk form has shown us, is the capabilities of Tsukune's "current" body, which he should be capable of, even in his "normal state", provided that Tsukune has been sufficiently trained in "understanding" his bodies physical capabilities.
While, I'm not saying that Tsukune would b e capable of moving as fast as Akua does, but at the current point, he should be capable of tracking her movements and intercepting Akua's attacks, which has been implied in chapter 43, considering the fact that Tsukune was the only one, in his group, who was capable of sensing Gyokuro's youkai energy.
After all, it's not like Tsukune has to keep up with Akua's movements, he just needs to intercept her attacks, and execute his own counterattack at the same time as Akua's attack is being blocked, letting his endurance and Determinator attribute take care of the rest of the details surrounding his fight with Akua -at least, that's the general idea that came to my mind on how Tsukune could beat Akua.
Not to mention that, it's quite evident that Tohou Fuhai has learned what Akua is capable of, during his brief fight against her in the Wong family mansion, and judging from his attitude in chapter 38 and 39, I don't think he would bother himself with training Tsukune, if he hadn't had any chances of wining against Akua.
As for the exact details on the method that Tsukune is going to use to win his fight with Akua, well we will have to continue reading this manga to find that out
