Jujutsu Kaisen: My spells have no limit

The devastated Nishi-Tama mountain area of ​​Tokyo.

Lin Yi lay on the ground with a bruised and swollen face, his chest heaving and his breath coming in ragged gasps.

The sparring session with Gojo Satoru wasn't too taxing for Gojo Satoru, but for Lin Yi, it was his first time challenging one of the only two top-tier combatants in the Jujutsu Kaisen world.

In the midst of a battle where the opponent was half giving pointers and half taking it seriously, Lin Yi realized how ridiculous his previous actions had been.

Sorcerers are a group whose success depends on talent. The level a sorcerer can reach in their lifetime is 80% determined by innate factors.

Mindset is also a key factor in improving one's abilities.

Previously, I always thought I should lie low and hide away to study and master the skills that are standard for strong people, such as domain expansion and reversal techniques. If I didn't master them before the two major events of Shibuya Night and Death Return, I would decisively run away with the money.

With this mindset, even if one runs away back to China and studies diligently for a lifetime, one might not be able to master all the skills that are standard for the strong.

Until tonight's battle with Gojo Satoru, Lin Yi, facing his own inner self, mastered the advanced application techniques of Domain and Domain Extension—techniques that could neutralize Gojo Satoru's limitless techniques—in just one exchange.

Even the name and effects of the domain appeared in his mind as if by divine inspiration.

Sorcerer Form Domain: Swords and Dreams.

A completely open area, with a guaranteed hit range and a maximum strike range.

The core area, centered on the domain caster, extends within a radius of 500 meters, ensuring the spell's power will hit.

With a maximum attack range of 15 kilometers, he can make the swords he constructs with his magical power appear anywhere within a 15-kilometer radius, whenever he wants.

Domain characteristic: Freedom.

During the activation of the domain, the magical power will take the form of the most basic swords. However, as the master of the domain, he can freely construct any artifacts he wants within the domain and add their characteristics, but this is only possible during the activation of the domain.

Information about the domain "Swords and Dreams" surfaced in Lin Yi's mind.

Lin Yi also roughly understood the operational characteristics of his field.

The range is even more exaggerated than Sukuna's open domain "Fuma Mikuriya," but in exchange, he cannot indiscriminately and completely cover all targets within the domain like Sukuna can.

If we really had to make a comparison, my field is more like precision-guided missiles, while Sukuna's field is like artillery barrage.

One can hit accurately, far, and even surprise opponents; the other relies purely on sheer force, like flying bricks, and is covered by artillery fire.

It's hard to say which is better or worse.

As for the so-called "freedom characteristic" and the additional characteristics of freely creating magical artifacts, Lin Yi couldn't figure out the function of this mechanism for a while.

You can't just create a Gundam by opening your own domain and it actually becomes a Gundam, right? That would consume a huge amount of magical energy.

While Lin Yi was inwardly complaining, he suddenly realized a blind spot.

This is the domain of his Spellcaster form. Does that mean that his other form, Heaven and Tyrant Kamen Rider form, also has a domain?

After all, his Heavenly Tyrant wasn't the real thing; it was a fake obtained through his own spell effects, though its functions were much better than the real Heavenly Tyrant.

But in the end, it's still a spell effect, and the domain characteristics of my sorcerer form are completely unrelated to the Heaven and Tyrant Kamen Rider form.

Can a sorcerer master two fields?

Could these two fields eventually merge?

These spells weren't explained in the original game!

Just as Lin Yi was in a daze, Gojo Satoru's handsome face came close to his eyes.

"Hello, is anyone home, Mr. Hayashi Ichiro?"

"Gojo Satoru, is it possible for a sorcerer to possess two domains?"

"what?"

Lin Yi stood up and shared the characteristics and speculations of his domain, which he called "Swords Like Dreams." As for Gojo Satoru, Lin Yi wasn't worried about what kind of targeted plan the other party would make after knowing his domain information.

Even if he finds out, it's only information within his own field, so he won't suffer too much of a loss.

After listening to Lin Yi explain the characteristics of his domain and his guesses, Gojo Satoru observed Lin Yi again with his "Six Eyes" for a long time before finally laughing out loud.

"I see. No wonder Mr. Lin Yilang's field is a completely open area for ancient sorcerers."

"You even know about the Completely Open Domain? That makes sense. You're the head of the Gojo family, one of the three great families of Japanese sorcery. With such a long and distinguished lineage, it's impossible for you not to know. By the way, why don't you transform your Boundless Void into an Open Domain?"

This is also something Lin Yi is curious about. The ancestors of the Gojo family can be traced back to Sugawara no Michizane, one of the three great vengeful spirits of Japan. They are of Sugawara no Michizane's bloodline. It is impossible for the Gojo family, which has been passed down from the Heian period to the present day, not to have records of ancient sorcerers' spells. However, Gojo Satoru still chose to use the Boundless Void as a closed domain, and still lacks combat experience against sorcerers with open domains.

"Don't answer questions with questions, Mr. Hayashi Ichiro. Didn't you already know the answer during the battle just now?"

"The battle just now? Damn, so that's how it was. No wonder the High School of Spellcasting admits so few students every year."

Lin Yi understood Gojo Satoru's unspoken message: as mentioned before, the individual strength of sorcerers depends entirely on their innate talent.

It is a pyramid structure, ranked from high to low as follows: First tier: high spell power, high talent, strong spell technique, plus some physical constitution. If nothing unexpected happens, a spellcaster of this tier is guaranteed to be a near-special grade, but they are rare.

The second tier consists of those with good talent, decent spell power, and passable spell techniques. The pinnacle of this tier of spellcasters is Level 1, which forms the backbone of the spellcasting world. They may break through to the Special tier due to an accident.

The third tier has the power of incantation and talent, but lacks the techniques.

The fourth level consists of those with good talent and skillful techniques, but insufficient innate magical power, making it impossible to fully utilize the effects of their techniques.

The fifth level consists of those who have no talent or spells, but possess a small amount of incantation power.

Not only is the hierarchy rigid, but the inheritance process is also not systematic.

It's a principle that everyone understands, but it's like math—if you just can't learn it, you just can't learn it.

For example, the advanced application technique of incantation is the reversal technique. All sorcerers who have systematically studied incantation know that as long as they multiply their negative incantation power, they can heal themselves and others.

But no one can say for sure how much magical power needs to be multiplied to transform it into positive energy for healing oneself and others.

Even someone as strong as Gojo Satoru only learned the Reversal Technique when he was on the verge of death. After all these years, he can only heal himself and cannot heal others like his classmate and friend, Ieiri Shoko.

Lin Yi was the same just now. He had never understood how to master the expansion and extension of the domain. But as he released his true nature and began to integrate into the mad thinking of the sorcerer, he learned the domain and the domain extension of neutralizing Gojo Satoru's limitless techniques after just one fight.

But if you really asked Lin Yi how he learned it, he couldn't explain it himself.

The reason why Gojo Satoru wouldn't open his domain is even simpler. His family has information on ancient sorcerers opening their domains, but based on the current situation, Lin Yi can guess how the heads of the Gojo family explained their domain openings in those information. It's nothing more than "I think," "I feel," and then it becomes something like that.

Furthermore, no one has ever seen Gojo Satoru use this technique, so how could he possibly have learned it?

In conclusion, Gojo Satoru did not actively choose to unleash his Boundless Void as a closed domain; rather, he could only transform the Boundless Void into a closed domain.

"So that's why you chose to become a teacher at the High School of Spellcasting. My field is actually an incomplete one. Because it's incomplete, it's an open field. Only when I master another form of the field and combine the two will it be the final form of my field. But even I don't know what type my field's final form will be."

"Bingo! Correct answer, Mr. Hayashi Ichiro. You can now keep this Sukuna Finger. As a Special Grade expert, you are fully capable of keeping this Sukuna Finger. Is this what you wanted, Ichiro?"

"Yi-chan? You really are just like Xia Youjie, you like to give people nicknames."

Hearing Gojo Satoru's nickname for him, Lin Yi could only sigh that this guy and Xia Youjie were indeed a pair of star-crossed lovers.

But now that Gojo Satoru has arrived, it's time to lay some things out on the table.

"Gojo Satoru, I have something to tell you. Your best friend, Natsuyuki, is about to die."
