Curse Returns: Eight Extraordinary Skills? I lack nothing.

System Repository

Memorial Bowl

[Combat Strength Assessment]

With your stats, equipment, and combat skills combined, you've become a near-level 2 sorcerer, almost at the level of a level 2 sorcerer.

Wow, there's an unexpected surprise!

3000 points, how long will it take me to achieve that?

Having accumulated so many points for the first time, Yu Ren's mind immediately became active, and his desire to spend soared. Without the slightest hesitation, he opened the online store.

As soon as he entered, Yu Ren noticed a new little window popping up with a pretty girl.

It also says, "Not enough points? Don't let your dreams wait too long."

He subconsciously reached out and tapped, and the style of the system panel suddenly changed dramatically, and a very tempting voice rang in his ears.

Hi~ We detected your excellent performance in this battle and have opened a special [Points Loan] channel for you~

Your current credit limit: 5000 points

Funds arrive in as little as three seconds, with flexible borrowing and repayment options and daily interest rates as low as 0.03%, which translates to an annualized rate of only 10.95%—truly a great deal.

Yuuto: "..."

This familiar recipe, this familiar taste.

He turned the page and saw more detailed promotional material:

"First-time loan interest-free for 7 days, apply now and get 100 points off!"

"New User Exclusive: First Three Loans Free of Charge"

Limited-time offer: Borrow money today and receive one free spin on the Lucky Wheel – 100% chance to win!

Yu Ren's lips twitched wildly. Was this an alien system or an online loan system?

Or perhaps it has been completely localized.

In this world, there exists a constraint mechanism similar to loans, so my system also wants to create a loan panel.

However, when it comes to restraints, we have to mention our two-faced Sukuna-sama.

They're practically the epitome of the lending industry.

The title of "King of Curses" is a joke in front of Tiger Emperor, but the title of "King of Loans" is truly well-deserved.

The prison guard still suffered from the disadvantage of being born into a wealthy family, never lacking money since childhood, and not knowing how to write the word "loan".

In the original story, Sukuna defeated Gojo Satoru after taking out a loan.

Once Gojo understands the underworld, he'll probably think that Sukuna already has the ability to use spatial slashes and that he just wants to play with him for a while.

Chapter 17 Binding Spirits and Sending Generals

Yu Ren decisively exited the loan interface. He'd have to pay it all back, principal and interest, which was too much of a loss.

But after browsing in the mall for a long time, he still couldn't decide what to buy.

My fingers always unconsciously scroll to the top of the panel, staring at the Eight Wonders, my heart pounding with envy.

In Yu Ren's opinion, the coolest skills are Feng Hou Qi Men, Tong Tian Lu, and Ni Sheng San Chong, which is no less than the Eight Extraordinary Skills.

But in the world of sorcery, the most effective method is still spirit control.

It's practically a cheat code.

After the system localizes it, in addition to its ability to target living spirits, it can also directly affect cursed spirits.

After all, cursed spirits have no physical form; they are essentially formed from cursed power, as can be seen from the fact that they do not leave behind corpses after being exorcised, but simply dissipate.

Those with physical forms are either mixed-race individuals with bloated appearances, or cyborgs who are actually humanoids.

Therefore, in the world of sorcery, the most practical of the eight extraordinary skills is currently Spirit Binding and Commanding.

The system's in-game store offers three levels of redemption: beginner, intermediate, and advanced.

It's very user-friendly, as you can unlock it gradually without having to accumulate resources for a long time to exchange for powerful techniques.

The beginner level is a weakened version of the original ability, the intermediate level is the normal level, and the advanced level will reach the level of the original strongmen, or even surpass them.

Special techniques like the Eight Extraordinary Skills also have an additional fourth stage.

After much deliberation, Youren finally decided to take out a loan of 4,000 points and redeem them immediately.

After gaining the ability, he couldn't wait to open the panel and check the data.

Spirit Capture and Command - Beginner Level

Without needing to deliberately release magical power, it automatically senses all cursed spirits, cursed remnants, and cursed remains within a radius of two hundred meters.

It can bind cursed spirits and sorcerer spirits below level two without any conditions; for level two and above, the other party must be in a weakened state or willingly participate.

It can briefly borrow the senses, speed, and danger intuition of the spirit.

It can allow spirits to shield oneself from harm, conduct reconnaissance, and restrain others.

Curses possess an inherent, basic aura of power, causing weaker cursed spirits to instinctively feel fear.

It can devour bound spirits and permanently acquire some of their magical power and characteristics. However, the devoured spirits will retain some of their consciousness within the host's body. If the will is not strong enough, it may be backfired.

........................

The next morning, Yu-ren woke up early, or rather, he had barely slept at all.

He was in a state of high excitement all night, having gained the power to command spirits.

The girl in the next bed, Nishimiya Momo, was still curled up in the blankets, her golden hair spread out on the pillow, her breathing steady.

Suddenly, the sound of the door being pushed open broke the morning's tranquility.

"Oh, everyone's awake?" a nonchalant voice rang out, as if he thought no one was asleep even though there were still people sleeping.

Yuuto's gaze fell upon a tall, slender figure, followed by Ieiri Shoko.

Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Yuuto instinctively sat up straight.

White hair, black eye patch, at least 1.9 meters tall.

He casually threw on a jacket over his black college uniform, his posture as relaxed as if he were at home.

Although they came to visit someone in the hospital, they were carrying a bag from a convenience store, and you could vaguely see that it contained daifuku (food), coffee, and milk.

Gojo Satoru.

The most powerful sorcerer in modern times.

Strictly speaking, this was Yuuto's first time meeting the jailer, as he had been in a coma until now.

Momo Nishimiya woke up at this moment. She poked half her head out from under the covers, and the moment she saw Satoru Gojo, she became completely awake.

"Mr. Gojo, thank you and Ms. Ieiri for saving us."

"Don't worry about it, it's nothing." As Gojo Satoru spoke, he sat down directly next to Yuuto's bed, crossed his legs, took out a daifuku from the bag, and took a bite.

"Um, let's get down to business." He mumbled, chewing on something.

"Springtime, would you like to come to the vocational college?"

Yu Ren was taken aback, not understanding for a moment why he was supposed to come to the vocational college.

“I mean formally enrolling.” Gojo Satoru took another bite of daifuku.

"You're currently at the second level, so your strength is not a problem. You just lack a proper background."

"Spend two years at the vocational college, and you'll be a regular soldier when you graduate."

He spoke casually, but his meaning was clear: this was a recruitment tactic.

Yuuto opened his mouth, about to speak, but Ieiri Shoko suddenly spoke up:

Are you out of your mind?

His tone was as calm as ever, but it was incredibly hurtful.

Gojo Satoru often shows unimaginable tolerance towards his own people.

The students I teach are all incredibly tolerant, and I can get along with them easily.

Moreover, this person was Ieiri Shoko, so he simply scratched his head and said with a smile:

"Shoko, it's so heartbreaking that you so ruthlessly contradicted me."

Shoko Ieiri walked over and glanced at Yuuto: "How old is he?"

"Nineteen, what's wrong?" Gojo Satoru replied.

"Nineteen years old, a quasi-second-level sorcerer, who has just independently extracted a first-level sorcerer spirit."

Shoko Ieiri stared blankly at Satoru Gojo: "Do you think someone like this would be a high school dropout or a social idler?"

Wutiao Wu paused in his chewing of the daifuku.

He was used to being reckless and had really forgotten about these things, but when he was told this, he realized what had happened.

At 19, strictly speaking, one is already past the age for enrolling in a vocational college.

Ieiri Shoko continued, "I checked his information last night. He owns multiple properties in Shibuya and is a first-year student at Waseda University."

She looked at Gojo Satoru and said, "You want someone like that to drop out of school and come to a vocational high school?"

The ward was silent for two seconds.

Nishimiya Momo couldn't help but laugh out loud, but quickly suppressed it.

Gojo Satoru swallowed the daifuku, a rare moment of embarrassment on his face: "...Ah, I see."

Yuuto was also a little embarrassed: "Um, Mr. Gojo, I really..."

"Alright, alright, never mind."

Gojo Satoru waved his hand, seemingly unperturbed:

"Then let's put it another way: would you be willing to lend your name to this?"
