Curse Returns: Eight Extraordinary Skills? I lack nothing.

[Adopted sister has been arranged: Kasugano Sora, 16 years old, first year of high school, will live with her.........]

Ending his recollection, Yuuto opened the shop via the system panel.

A blue light flashed, revealing a dazzling array of goods belonging to the world of Under One Person.

The most eye-catching feature is undoubtedly the Eight Extraordinary Skills displayed at the very top of the mall's homepage.

However, the long string of zeros at the end made Yu Ren feel intimidated, so he could only turn his gaze elsewhere.

He hadn't accumulated many points during this period; the Golden Light Mantra and Thunder Magic were newbie gift packs given by the system.

Besides the Eight Extraordinary Skills, the items in the shop, such as the Reversal of Eight Directions and the Triple Rebirth of the Three Ones Sect, which are on par with Li Muxuan's skills, are truly tempting to look at.

Especially the effect after the reverse growth reaches triple level.

It has both strength and style.

Who dares to say this isn't the work of a true immortal, or the methods of an immortal?

However, Yuuto couldn't afford to exchange these things either, and he already had a target in mind.

Basic physical enhancement, worth 1,500 points.

Yuuto's current abilities were not acquired through gradual cultivation after obtaining the cultivation technique, but rather by hunting down cursed spirits to gain points, then exchanging those points for abilities, which were finally instilled by the system.

This is why Yu Ren's techniques are so elaborate, but his Thunder Technique is still Yang Five Thunder.

Therefore, it is necessary to exchange for physical enhancement to make up for the lack of physical strength.

-----------------

Due to limited space, the Curse Returns will include a large amount of original storyline, and the abilities of one character will be localized and systematized, so the settings may differ.

I believe that all of you who are fans of this will get used to it; this is an innate ability of fans of jutsu.

Chapter 2 Exorcising Curses

The next morning, Yuuto was standing by the window adjusting his collar when he heard a noise coming from the bed behind him.

Haruka Ayase lay on her side amidst the messy bedding, her long black hair spread like ink on the pillow.

She languidly sat up, the thin blanket slipping down slightly without covering herself, and looked at Youren with alluring charm, saying:

"Hey, busy man, where are you headed?"

Yuuto was wearing a dark gray casual shirt with the sleeves casually rolled up to his forearms. He was the kind of guy whose looks would attract talent scouts on the streets of Shibuya.

"I collect rent from other places," Yuuto said casually, offering a nonchalant excuse.

Ayase Haruka raised an eyebrow at him upon hearing this, then lay back down on the pillow.

The two are not currently a couple, but rather have a complicated relationship.

After Haruka Ayase moved into the shop on the first floor of this apartment building, the two hit it off immediately.

Yuto is depicted for his beauty and figure, while Ayase Haruka is depicted for his handsomeness, youth, wealth, and generosity.

One time, Yuuto came to the coffee shop, and after she finished her work, Yuuto escorted her upstairs...

What was supposed to be a one-night stand turned out to be a case of two people who found themselves drawn to each other and gradually developed into a relationship that was not meant to be described.

However, Haruka Ayase never took the initiative to say that she wanted to be Yuuto's girlfriend on the surface; she was well aware of the gap between the two of them.

As for Yuuto, he won't mention it unless Ayase Haruka brings it up herself.

On one occasion, Yuuto, who has a certain degree of mysophobia, explicitly stated that Ayase Haruka was not allowed to have relationships with other people during their time together.

Ayase Haruka paused for a moment, then laughed and whispered in Yuuto's ear:

"Then you'd better keep a close eye on my little boy."

As compensation, Yuuto would often go to her coffee shop, order his own exorbitantly priced coffee, and then play some games.

After leaving Haruka Ayase's room, Yuuto went upstairs to the door of room 602.

After redeeming the beginner-level physical enhancement last night, I definitely feel different.

Putting everything else aside, his five senses have become much more acute. He can now clearly perceive the magical power seeping from the crack in the door.

Yuuto searched for the corresponding key from a bunch of keys on his person and then inserted it into the keyhole.

Click, the door opened.

Stepping inside, the living room was neatly arranged, with a framed photo of an elderly couple on the table.

They were wearing kimonos, with the Hachiko statue in front of Shibuya Station in the background.

Just as Yuuto reached the bedroom door, a sudden change occurred, and a dark shadow pounced from the side.

He had no time to dodge and had no choice but to take the hit head-on.

With a loud bang, Yuuto was knocked two steps to the side, his back slamming against the wall, causing plaster to crumble and fall off.

But just as the shadowy figure was about to trap Yuuto, he used the momentum to dodge to the side, instantly creating distance.

Only then did Yu see the full shape of the shadowy figure.

It has a humanoid silhouette, its body is wrapped in gray-black magical energy, its limbs are thin and long, and its face has no facial features, only a mouth that stretches to its ears.

Yuuto steadied himself, his inner magical power surging:

"The mysteries of heaven and earth are the origin of all things."

"I will cultivate for countless eons to prove my supernatural powers."

A sudden burst of golden light shone through, and a solid golden light shield emanated from the body, enveloping Youren's entire body.

After catching his breath, Yuuto rubbed his shoulder. The blow had been quite forceful; in the past, it would have taken him at least a while to recover.

But now, he only has slight muscle pain, and there are no bruises left.

Seeing that its first attack had failed, the cursed spirit roared and pounced again.

The sharp claws tore at the golden light, only causing a ripple.

The Golden Light Mantra has four stages: gathering, releasing, transforming, and reaching its extreme. Although Yu Ren is only in the gathering stage, it is not something that a mere level three spirit can break.

Seeing that ordinary attacks were ineffective, the level-three cursed spirit suddenly split its slender arm into four or five strands, which wrapped around Yuuto from different directions.

Yuuto dodged two of them to the side, the third grazed past the golden light, and he caught the fourth one with his hand, then pulled hard, causing the cursed spirit to lose its balance.

At the same time, he raised his other hand, and lightning gathered in his palm, transforming into a long whip that glowed with blue light.

【Five Thunder Techniques - Thunder Whip】

With a flick of his wrist, Yu Ren sent the electric whip lashing at the cursed spirit. The spirit, in pain, immediately released its grip and let out a wail.

Yuuto leaped backward, took a deep breath, and activated his internal magical power at full speed.

The cursed spirit seemed to sense the danger and roared as it pounced again, extending all its arms at the same time.

Yu Ren activated the Golden Light Mantra at full power and withstood the attack.

Numerous arms tore through the golden light, causing the light barrier to tremble violently, but it never shattered.

Yuuto raised his hand, and the lightning in his palm was continuously compressed, gradually condensing from a ball of light into the size of a fist.

"Five thunderbolts descend three thousand times, and ten thousand bolts of lightning drive away evil spirits."

【Five Thunder Technique - Palm Thunder】

The compressed lightning bolt shot out with a deafening roar, piercing through the cursed spirit's chest. Its momentum remained undiminished, blasting a charred crater in the wall behind it.

The cursed spirit let out a shrill scream, and its entire body disintegrated into black smoke.

[System Notification: Defeat 1 Level 3 Cursed Spirits, gain 20 points]

Yuuto clapped his hands and stood there summarizing the battle.

The Thunder Technique and the Golden Light Spell consume a lot of spell power. The spell power of a level three spellcaster is ultimately too little to support his large-scale battles.

Fortunately, there is a way to increase my total spell power through the system; otherwise, no matter how many methods I have, I would not be able to use them.

Yu Ren took a few steps forward into the bedroom, his gaze falling on the table beside him, where there was a diary and a bowl.

Yuuto walked to the side, picked up the diary, and flipped through it.

My wife has been gone for three years. This house is filled with her image, and I can't bear to move.

"I made her favorite miso soup again today, and set out two sets of bowls and chopsticks."

"Lately, I keep feeling like she's still here; I can hear noises coming from the kitchen at night..."

After a moment of silence, Yuuto put down his diary and picked up the bowl.

It's very ordinary, white porcelain with a bit of blue and white decoration, and there's a small chip on the edge.

But the moment the finger touched the bowl, a notification suddenly popped up:

[Level 3 Cursed Item Detected: The Remnant Bowl]

[Note: If the host is an ordinary person, has been kept nearby for a long time, possesses a strong obsession, and is physically weak, the artifact will transform the host into a cursed object. The artifact can only choose a new host after the previous host who became a cursed object has died.]

[Hint: You can choose to absorb the Memory Bowl and convert it into 40 points.]

Before Yuuto could decide whether to absorb it, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something flashing outside the window.

He quickly put away the cursed item, then turned and walked towards the balcony.

Sure enough, a petite figure was hovering outside the window.

She was wearing the girls' uniform of Kyoto Prefectural Jujutsu Higher Specialized School, and was about 1.5 meters tall. Her figure was so light that she looked like she could be blown away by the wind at any moment.

Riding on a broom, her golden twin tails swayed gently in the wind.

His amber eyes, sharper than his appearance, were staring directly at Yuuto.

Yuuto recalled his memories of his past life and finally recognized the person in front of him.

Nishimiya Momo from the Kyoto school uses the technique of Tsukumogami.
