Curse Reply: After choosing Nawa, the cursed spirit cursed me for being cruel.

"It's about us. It's not about one person making all the decisions; it's about a group of people who are truly capable of getting things done."

Gojo Satoru leaned against the windowsill, tapping his fingers twice on the sill: "Interesting. But those old guys may be useless, they have quite a few men under them. The three of us can handle fighting, but managing people... what do you think, Jetsu? What have you managed the most?"

“A cursed spirit.” Xia Youjie said expressionlessly.

Gojo Satoru chuckled, and Duanmu Yan also smiled before saying, "So it will take time. The three of us have the strength now, but we don't have many people we can use. At least we need to win over the three main families."

"It's just a matter of a word from me to the Gojo family." Gojo Satoru held up a finger and twirled it in the air.

"Although the old man talks a lot, I make the decisions on important matters. Moreover, because of the curse, our Gojo family doesn't have many seats in the council of elders."

Xia Youjie frowned. "But what about the other two families, the Kamo family and the Zenin family? Do you think they will side with us?"

Duanmu Yan: "Leave those two families to me, I'll figure something out."

Xia Youjie looked at him. Then he sighed: "Do you know how many top-grade spell tools the Chanyuan family has in reserve? Do you know how many factions there are within them? Do you know their attitude towards you? You drove their elder to his death, and now you're saying you want to win them over? You're serious."

“Seriously,” Duanmu Yan said. “I’ll handle the issues with those two families.”

Xia Youjie stared at him, then leaned back against the wall again: "Fine, you've always had a lot of tricks up your sleeve, I won't ask about the details, but if you can't handle it, don't try to tough it out on yourself."

"Will not."

Gojo Satoru walked up to Duanmu Yan and raised his fist: "Then it's settled. I'll take the Gojo family, you take Kamo and Zen-in, and Jie..." He turned his head to look at Xia Youjie.

Xia Youjie also extended his hand, and the three fists bumped together. "I'll keep an eye on the two of you, make sure things don't get out of control."

“That means you agree,” Duanmu Yan said.

“I agree,” Gojo Satoru said.

Xia Youjie nodded.

Chapter 134 Treasure Vault

After the three men bumped fists, Gojo Satoru withdrew his hand, put it back in his pocket, and tilted his head to look at Duanmu Yan: "When are we going to make our move?"

"The time should be in the near future. Not now. Although we don't lack combat power, we are short of manpower. Let's wait for the matter of the three main families to be settled, and then wait for a suitable opportunity."

Duanmu Yan turned his gaze back. "It won't be long."

Gojo Satoru shrugged: "Fine, I can wait anyway, but don't make me wait too long, or I'll have to find my own fun."

Xia Youjie walked over from the wall and patted Duanmu Yan on the shoulder: "Let's go eat. It's Miss Heijing's turn to be on duty at the cafeteria today. If you go late, there will only be plain rice left."

"You go first, I still have some things to take care of."

Xia Youjie didn't ask any more questions, waved his hand, and followed Wutiao Wu towards the cafeteria.

Gojo Satoru took a few steps and then turned back, pointing at Duanmu Yan with his index finger: "Call me when the opportunity you mentioned comes."

"It will call you."

Satisfied, Gojo Satoru turned around, hooked his arm around Xia Youjie's neck, and the two swayed back and forth under the corridor lights, gradually blending into the warm light from the direction of the cafeteria.

Duanmu Yan stood still.

The first step to replacing the Elders' Council is the three founding families, and the Gojo family is already firmly established.

After finishing his meal, Duanmu Yan returned to his room, closed the door, leaned against the door, and closed his eyes for a while.

Today's harvest was satisfying, but there was still something he hadn't done. He opened his eyes and brought up the system panel.

[Host Panel]

Name: Duanmu Yan

Age: 17

Combat strength: Special level

Spirit: Top Grade

Spell Power: Special Grade

Equipment slots: Nava Armor (100% compatibility), Tonado Armor (100% compatibility), Thunder Yatalis (100% compatibility), Lucky Coin (4/10)

Inventory: Senzu Beans x11, Legendary Chest x1

Current points: 1158

Overall assessment: Sukuna's strength is roughly equivalent to nineteen fingers. He is recognized by the will of Earth. If he is defeated, the consequences will be extremely serious.

His gaze first fell on the equipment slots. Nava and Tuona had been slowly polished to full compatibility, but Thunder Yatalis was at full value as soon as he got it.

It can only be said that General Duanmu is indeed domineering. He gets the character at max level right away, saving Duanmu a lot of time and effort in getting the right stats.

Then he looked at the line for comprehensive evaluation, was it just nineteen fingers?

He originally thought that replacing him with Yatales would allow him to go toe-to-toe with the peak Su Nuo, but it turns out he was still a step behind.

[The fact that the host's six-fingered strength has been amplified by simply acquiring a new suit of armor is already extremely impressive. The current weakness lies in curse power; the host's current curse power level is roughly equivalent to that of Gojo Satoru.]

"Similar to Wu?" Duanmu Yan pondered the words and nodded. "Then it's not surprising. Although Wu is strong, his curse power is actually quite average. It's only because of the Six Eyes that he can suppress the consumption of the spell to almost zero that it seems unfathomable."

However, he's not bad either. The moment he switches armor, his magical power is instantly restored to full, meaning he re-enters the battle at full strength every time he changes form.

And most importantly, he now possesses three domains: Nava's Fiery Prison Binds All Evil, Tonado's Ten Thousand Hurricanes Annihilate a Thousand Forms, and Yatalai's, which he hasn't used yet.

Throughout the entire history of sorcery, there has probably never been anyone like him.

[Please do not be complacent, host. You are recognized by the will of Earth; if you are defeated, the consequences will be severe.]

How serious is it?

[After your defeat, Earth will unconditionally experience a catastrophe. Upon your death, Earth will destroy all life and reset itself!]

Please take good care of your health.

"Understood." Duanmu Yan nodded. It's similar to Kai San's setup: everyone's happy if they win, and the world is destroyed if they lose.

He shifted his gaze to his inventory. "Let's open that legendary treasure chest first."

[Open the Legendary Treasure Chest - Obtain: 3 White Zetsu (from the Naruto world).]

Duanmu Yan looked down at the three lumps of white substance that had appeared in front of him. They were soft and mushy, like unformed clay figures.

White Zetsu. Their combat power is so-so; they can't be of much help on the front lines, but they're not bad as a sex object.

He flipped his right hand and put White Zetsu into the system space, already thinking about how to play these cards.

……

Night Moth Masamichi pushed open the conference room door, holding three documents covered in vermilion lacquer.

He slammed the documents on the table, and before he could even speak, Gojo Satoru had already put his legs up on the edge of the table.

"The Elders' Council's compensation plan has been released. Each of you can choose one item from either the Elders' Council's Treasury or the Higher Vocational Treasury."

"That's it?" Gojo Satoru pushed his sunglasses down, revealing a pair of eyes full of disdain. "I am the head of the Gojo family. I can enter the Elder Council's treasury whenever I want, not to mention the High School's treasury. What kind of compensation is this? Are you rewarding me with my family's things?"

Xia Youjie reached out from the side and grabbed his sleeve, pulling him back half a step: "Wu."

Why are you pulling me? Did I say something wrong?

“I didn’t say you were wrong.” Xia Youjie lowered his voice a little. “But we’d better act more compliant right now. The more obedient you are, the less nervous the elders will be. If they’re not nervous, Duanmu’s plan will be easier to advance.”

Gojo Satoru blinked, then put his legs off the edge of the table and pushed his sunglasses back up. "Oh yeah, well, then I'll reluctantly agree to this compensation plan."

Moth Masakazu glanced at the three of them suspiciously.

These three people usually haggle for an entire afternoon, so their accommodating attitude today is definitely suspicious.

But he didn't intend to delve into it further; he just wanted to put an end to it as soon as possible.

"Let's go then. Which side would you like to choose?"

"The Elders' Treasury," Gojo Satoru and Natsumi Yuuki blurted out.

They know exactly what vocational colleges have, and you can search high and low and still not find what they need.

The Presbyterian Church's treasure trove has been accumulating for over a thousand years, and its best treasures are always more numerous than those of a vocational college.

"A treasure trove of higher education," Duanmu Yan said.

Gojo Satoru and Natsumi Yuki both turned to look at him, wondering what good things could be in the high school's treasure vault.

But Duanmu Yan didn't offer any explanation; he simply looked at Ye'e Zhengdao and waited for the key.

If he remembers correctly, the Nine Phases of the Cursed Embryo Diagram is sealed in the High Specialized Treasure Vault. Three White Absolutes were just unearthed yesterday, which is exactly what he needs for a body... This is like a pillow delivered to someone who is sleepy.

Night Moth nodded, took a copper key from his waist and tossed it to Duanmu Yan: "Then you go by yourself. I'll take the two of them to the Elders' Council."

Duanmu Yan took the key and waved to Wutiao Wu and Xia Youjie.

Then Duanmu Yan turned and walked towards the treasure vault.

Chapter 136 Resurrect, My…

Duanmu Yan pushed open the door to the treasure vault.

He found the Nine Phases of the Cursed Embryo Diagram without much effort; the nine specially made containers were arranged side by side on a stone shelf.

This is the sin that Kamo Kenrin committed 150 years ago. He found a woman with a special constitution, made her pregnant with the child of a cursed spirit, had her become pregnant nine times, and then had her miscarry nine times. He then mixed the nine stillborn fetuses into his own blood and refined them into a top-grade cursed artifact.

Each tiny body was curled up in the container, remaining as if it had never been born, sealed away in this dark corner of the Higher Education Treasury for a century and a half.

Duanmu Yan reached out and took out the container marked "one". He weighed it in his hand, then flipped his right hand, and a ball of white substance fell out of the system space, sprawling on the ground and slowly forming a human shape.

He opened the container and stuffed it into White Zetsu's mouth.

A figure stood up from the dust of light. He was tall, with two topknots sticking up, and a horizontal line on the bridge of his nose.

Zhang Xiang opened his eyes, his pupils suddenly contracting. In an instant, he assumed a fighting stance, his arms slightly bent forward, the tip of his fingertips already forming the outline of a blood blade.

The person in front of him looked far too young, like a student, but the aura emanating from him made Zhang Xiang break out in a cold sweat.

There was no outward release of magical power, no trace of spells; simply standing there, it was as if he had become one with the world.

You can tell from your intuition that this person is very strong.

"What do you want to do by waking me up?" Zhang Xiang asked in a low voice.

Duanmu Yan didn't put the fragments of the container in his hand on the stone shelf next to him. He patted the dust off his hands and looked into Duanmu Yan's swollen eyes.
