Jie Jian quickly got over it.
"Forget it. Getting a new cursed technique is already pretty good. Why ask for a bicycle?"
He had no intention of making Vector Manipulation his primary offensive method anyway.
A purely numbers-based ability like Vector Manipulation was boring. If he was going to use something, it had to be a technique like Undying Thunder, something that relied on skill and actually felt satisfying to use!
He would just treat this new cursed technique as an extra toy. He could slowly get used to it in his spare time, and it would be pretty good for acting as a long-range artillery platform too.

Jie Jian stopped moving and looked toward the gymnasium entrance.

In other words, this guy had not seen through the true principle behind his cursed technique at all.
He probably thought Jie Jian had merely used some kind of cursed technique to
