Cursed Techniques Can Be Learned!

But none of that mattered. Lin Ran was fundamentally different from the people of this world. If he had been a native of this world, then he really would have had to rely on Bloodline Inheritance to learn Cursed Techniques.

But he was not from this world, and he also possessed special abilities. Perhaps he could learn them?

With his current abilities, outsiders only knew that Lin Ran had gained this strength through Bloodline Inheritance. The most representative example was Cursed Energy Armor.

No matter how one looked at it, a Cursed Technique like Cursed Energy Armor had to be inherited through one's bloodline. It was impossible to learn it later in life.

"Reverse Cursed Technique - Regeneration."

The book Lin Ran opened contained a Reverse Cursed Technique. Just as he was about to turn to the next page, a line of text suddenly appeared before his eyes.

[Reverse Cursed Technique - Regeneration. Requires 100 Points.]

"Fuck!" Lin Ran cried out directly. The old man outside instinctively looked in Lin Ran's direction when he heard it, then shook his head again. "I told you, it's impossible to learn. Just have a look."

"Just one hundred Points to learn a Reverse Cursed Technique? I've got to get this." Lin Ran was practically thrilled. He had been worried that he would not understand the book, but now it seemed there was no need to worry at all. There was no need to keep reading, either.

As long as he obtained one hundred Points, he could learn Reverse Cursed Technique - Regeneration. With this technique, even if his arms and legs were severed, he could use cursed energy to regenerate them.

Although one hundred Points would be somewhat difficult to obtain, Lin Ran still had to give it a try. He had to get this technique.

So staying at the school to train with the upperclassmen was meaningless. He needed to go out and hunt.

"Let's look at the others." Lin Ran's heart pounded. At this rate, how many Cursed Techniques could he learn in the future?

Becoming the ceiling of combat power was just around the corner!

"Reverse Cursed Technique - Healing."

[Reverse Cursed Technique - Healing. Requires 100 Points.]

What was the fundamental difference between this and Regeneration? Lin Ran could not figure it out.

"Reverse Cursed Technique - Retrospect."

[Reverse Cursed Technique - Retrospect. Requires 300 Points.]

Judging from the literal meaning of Retrospect, Lin Ran felt that it should reverse something that had already happened. No wonder it required 300 Points. That was extravagant.

However, he did not know the specific effects of Retrospect. Did it rewind oneself, or could it rewind other things as well?

"Forward Cursed Technique - Thunder Explosion."

[Forward Cursed Technique - Thunder Explosion. Requires 150 Points.]

"Forward Cursed Technique - Shikigami."

[Forward Cursed Technique - Shikigami. Requires 200 Points.]

"Forward Cursed Technique - Fire Extinguishment."

[Forward Cursed Technique - Fire Extinguishment. Requires 150 Points.]

After looking through everything, he found quite a few Reverse Cursed Techniques and Forward Cursed Techniques. However, most of them were not particularly overpowered. Perhaps these techniques were already nearly impossible to learn, which was why there were no stronger ones.

The stronger techniques might be with the Principal, or perhaps they simply did not exist here at all.

But even just learning these techniques would be pretty good, in Lin Ran's opinion. The world was so vast; there had to be many forbidden techniques that could be learned. As long as he could find them, he could learn them.

As for Jujutsu High, even though these techniques were openly displayed here, few people came to look at them. As Jujutsu Sorcerers, no one would waste effort on things they had no hope of obtaining, which was why so much dust had accumulated.

Lin Ran closed the book. This trip to the Jujutsu Pavilion had yielded a great deal. Next, he only needed to kill cursed spirits with all his might, then return and obtain these techniques.

"Young man, exercise more and become more proficient with what you already possess. This place isn't suited for you."

When Lin Ran came out, the old man earnestly advised him, telling him not to waste his time on meaningless things.

Lin Ran merely smiled, thanked him, and left for the school's training grounds.

Fushiguro and the others were probably training over there right now.

"You went to the Jujutsu Pavilion first thing in the morning? What's the point of going there? It's completely useless." Nobara Kugisaki called out from afar when she saw Lin Ran approaching.

The upperclassmen who were training their running and reaction speed also glanced at Lin Ran. In their eyes, Lin Ran was a young man who was good at cooking, but he was definitely not enthusiastic about training.

Although going to the Jujutsu Pavilion could offer Jujutsu Sorcerers some help, it was not much. As Jujutsu Sorcerers, they should already understand the basic rules of jujutsu, so there was little use in going there.

As for those Cursed Techniques, there was even less reason to think about them. Looking at them was enough.

What mattered most now was training themselves, which was why the upperclassmen felt that Lin Ran was not a motivated person.

"I was just looking around and learning about Jujutsu High." Lin Ran made an excuse. There were indeed tales and histories of Jujutsu High in the Jujutsu Pavilion, though he had not read much of them.

"Teacher Gojo is at the school right now. If you're leaving campus, tell him first." Fushiguro Megumi had already come to accept it. Lin Ran did not seem to have his heart in the school, though he did not understand why.

But no matter what, he wanted to grow stronger. No one could stop him from becoming stronger, and training with the upperclassmen would be far more effective.

"Lin Ran, you're leaving the school at a time like this? What are you going to do?" Maki stopped running. She still only had a vague understanding of Lin Ran's strength and did not know how strong he truly was.

"I want to gain experience outside while I still have plenty of time."

The moment Lin Ran said this, everyone present felt that he was being naive. Those were not words that should come from a mature Jujutsu Sorcerer.

"I don't blame you for having such thoughts at your age, but this way of thinking is unwise." Maki was being fairly tactful. If Lin Ran had not treated her to a feast and given her a gift yesterday, she would have already taught him a lesson.

"Salmon!" Toge Inumaki expressed his agreement as well.

Panda, however, said directly, "Junior, just stay here and train with us. I'm not trying to discourage you, but training out there alone will either get you killed or injured. We've already lost one underclassman. I don't want to lose another."

That included the lure of delicious food. If Lin Ran died out there, they truly would never get to eat such fine cuisine again.

Even if they could, it would come at a considerable cost.

The thought of losing a junior student made everyone feel uneasy, so none of them approved of Lin Ran going out alone to train.

Lin Ran had guessed they would not let him leave, so he did not insist on it. When the time came, he could just leave directly. No matter how much he said now, they would only think he had no sense.

Before Maki could ask Lin Ran to spar and test his strength, Lin Ran quietly slipped away.

Not long after, Lin Ran saw a tall woman in white walking toward him along the stone path. There was a faint darkness beneath her eyes, though he could not tell whether it was eyeshadow or something else. A beauty mark beneath her right eye added a touch of elegance and maturity.

If she had been ten years younger, she would definitely have been a top-tier beauty.

"You're a first-year freshman, right?" The woman smiled faintly at Lin Ran. "My name is Shoko Ieiri. I'm the school doctor at Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu High School."

"Hello, Teacher!" Lin Ran quickly greeted her. This sort of intellectual beauty looked mature and charming, but Lin Ran had no other thoughts. "By the way, have you seen Teacher Gojo?"

"Him? Just follow this road, and you'll find him." As Shoko Ieiri passed by Lin Ran, she said, "I still have something to deal with, so I'll be going."

"Take care, Teacher." Lin Ran called after Shoko Ieiri's departing back. She waved her hand in response, which was already quite friendly.
