Clash of Special Eyes

After leaving the training field, Satoru Gojo draped an arm over Lin Mu's shoulder. "Come on, I'll show you a surprise."

"Blue."

The moment Satoru Gojo finished speaking, the scene before Lin Mu instantly changed, and he arrived in a dim basement.

On the sofa in front of them, Itadori was hugging a cursed corpse and watching a movie with rapt attention.

If Lin Mu remembered correctly, this was the cursed energy control plan Gojo-sensei had specifically designed for Itadori. He had to continuously pour cursed energy into that cursed corpse at all times, or it would attack him.

The movie was meant to ensure that Itadori could maintain a stable output of cursed energy even while affected by all kinds of emotions.

By the time Lin Mu arrived, Itadori had already learned to control his cursed energy output instinctively. Even something as surprising as seeing Lin Mu did not disrupt it.

"Lin Mu! Why are you here too?" Itadori asked in surprise.

Satoru Gojo spoke with a smug grin. "Of course, I was worried my adorable student would be too lonely by himself, so I brought Lin Mu here to keep you company."

Itadori: "Gojo-sensei is the best!"

"Surprised? I'm actually not dead."

Itadori wore an expression of eager anticipation, clearly expecting Lin Mu to be shocked senseless and burst into tears. Instead, all he received was Lin Mu's utterly calm gaze.

"What? Why aren't you surprised at all? It's like you already knew I wasn't dead."

Unable to hide his disappointment, Itadori slumped onto the sofa.

"No, I only guessed. Sukuna wouldn't give up the power of those three fingers."

After thinking for a moment, Lin Mu continued, "Why did you switch back then? We clearly had a chance to win."

Itadori scratched his head like a child who had done something wrong. "I just didn't want my companions to risk their lives because of me."

"So I decided to switch back."

Lin Mu remained silent.

Itadori's thoughts were more or less what Lin Mu had expected. After all, he was kind-hearted to the core.

At that moment, Satoru Gojo clapped his hands. "That's enough reunion for now. Itadori, keep watching your movie. Lin Mu, come here."

Satoru Gojo removed his blindfold, and his Six Eyes, brilliant as a galaxy, scrutinized Lin Mu from head to toe.

Although the sensation of being seen through was unpleasant, Lin Mu knew that Gojo-sensei bore no ill will. He was still hoping Gojo-sensei could give him some advice on improving his strength.

"Open your eyes. Let me see."

Lin Mu did as instructed. His crimson Sharingan opened slightly and met Satoru Gojo's starry blue Six Eyes!

At that moment, the two supreme special eyes began an invisible, fierce clash.

The pressure radiating from the Six Eyes poured forth like countless rays of starlight.

The Six Eyes, capable of seeing even atoms, began to analyze the structure of the Sharingan. At that moment, Madara Uchiha also sensed the probing gaze from the outside world.

That towering figure upon the vast ancient battlefield cast a faint glance. Terrifying pressure poured out from the Sharingan, like an unparalleled powerhouse who had existed since time immemorial.

Satoru Gojo's pupils contracted slightly before he abandoned the thought of continuing to see through Lin Mu. "Haha, how interesting. You really are a monster."

He could feel Lin Mu's eyes resisting his probing. Continuing would undoubtedly meet immense resistance, and if he failed to control his strength properly, he might even hurt Lin Mu. That was not his intention.

It was enough to know that Lin Mu was not bad by nature.

Lin Mu did not know what Gojo-sensei had done, but he vaguely sensed the power of Madara Uchiha within him stirring.

Satoru Gojo said, "Your power is very special. It's different from cursed energy. Although it can also harm cursed spirits, it's an entirely different system from cursed energy."

"Compared to cursed energy, both the source and the way the power in your body operates are completely different."

"I can't offer any advice on an ability outside the cursed energy system. You'll have to rely on yourself."

"Maybe you'll even found your own school of thought someday. Keep it up."

Lin Mu inwardly felt it was a pity. He had wanted to get some advice from Gojo-sensei on improving his strength, but it seemed he would still have to rely on himself.

Satoru Gojo clapped his hands. "Let's go. I'll take you to meet the principal."

"It's about time your sorcerer grade was changed. Having special-grade strength while still carrying a grade-two title is just ridiculous."

When Itadori, who was watching the movie, heard that Lin Mu was already special grade, his emotions fluctuated, and the cursed corpse in his arms fiercely punched him.

It was not that Itadori's control over cursed energy was lacking. The news he had heard was simply too shocking.

They had clearly started from the same line. He was still learning the most basic cursed energy control, while Lin Mu was already about to be evaluated as special grade?

Fushiguro had told him that there were very few special-grade sorcerers in the jujutsu world—only four in total!

Those qualified to be special grade were undoubtedly the strongest among the strong. Itadori felt that a tragically thick barrier now stood between him and Lin Mu.

Itadori: o(╥﹏╥)o

Upon hearing that they were going out, Lin Mu suddenly remembered something. He recalled that Satoru Gojo would be ambushed by Jogo on the way.

And for him, that might very well be an opportunity to greatly increase his inheritance progress!

Jogo's strength was equivalent to six or seven of Sukuna's fingers. It could be considered top-tier combat power beneath Sukuna and Satoru Gojo.

If he could fight it, his inheritance progress would definitely surge dramatically.
