The gust from his fist roared, even faintly carrying the sound of tearing air.
“Is this what it feels like to reinforce the body with Cursed Energy? It’s very rough, but extremely direct and effective.” Shu stared at his clenched fist and nodded in satisfaction.
He could feel clearly that even though there was only a tiny amount of Cursed Energy clinging to his fist, his pure physical destructive power had surged by about 10%.
If this were used in close-quarters combat, it could truly catch an opponent off guard and unprepared.
However, this minor taijutsu enhancement was by no means his primary goal in exchanging for Cursed Energy.
The real main event was only just beginning.
Shu took a deep breath and sat cross-legged right on the ground.
“With the Main God Space watching from above, even if an error truly occurs resulting in nerve damage or severed meridian pathways, as long as I don’t die, I only need to spend a few Reward Points to restore my entire body instantly. There’s absolutely nothing to fear!”
With this supreme guarantee of protection, Shu began to grow bold.
Sharingan!
He opened his eyes wide; his pupils instantly turned a blood-red, and a single black tomoe rotated slowly within them.
Next, Shu held his breath and focused his mind, beginning to try and control the Cursed Energy within his body.
Carefully, he directed a glimmer of that Cursed Energy, following a specific meridian, slowly moving to approach the area of his eyes.
*ZZZT—!*
When that pure Cursed Energy—formed from negative emotions—finally touched the optic nerve tissues connected to his eyeballs…
“Ugh!”
Shu groaned softly.
He felt a stinging sensation in his eyeballs, but what followed immediately was a scorching heat.
Within the vision of his Sharingan, the world became far clearer, and the tomoe within his pupils even began to vibrate softly, with the speed of its rotation suddenly increasing.
“There’s a reaction!”
Shu was overwhelmed by immense excitement.
The gamble was correct!
It seemed that extreme negative energy like Cursed Energy was highly compatible with the evolution mechanism of the Sharingan, and it could entirely replace those cruel and heavy awakening conditions of the Uchiha.
However, this excitement did not last long.
After only a few seconds, the heat dissipated, and the rotation speed of the tomoe returned to normal.
Because…
that pathetic glimmer of low-tier Cursed Energy had been completely drained.
It seemed the quantity of Cursed Energy was too small, making it completely unable to break through the Two-Tomoe barrier.
Since it was already proven that this path was viable, there was nothing left to doubt!
Shu raised his head and called out to the Main God Space: “Main God! Continue my reinforcement! Display the next tier of Cursed Energy exchange options!”
The light screen flickered, and a new option appeared instantly.
[Mid-Tier Cursed Energy]
[Summary: Originating from the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, the basic standard of an official Jujutsu Sorcerer, equivalent to a Grade 2 to Grade 3 Jujutsu Sorcerer in its original world. Cursed Energy reserves reach 5 times that of low-tier Cursed Energy, capable of engaging in longer battles. Cursed Energy control ability increases significantly, capable of precise Cursed Energy output and recovery, and capable of covering the entire body with Cursed Energy to form a basic defensive layer to withstand ordinary physical attacks and low-tier cursed techniques. Note: Once learned, capable of using Barrier Techniques and simple Cursed Techniques; additionally, Innate Techniques require an extra exchange to be awakened.]
[Exchange Requirements: 1 Rank-C Plot, 2500 Reward Points.]
“Exchange!” Shu did not hesitate in the slightest.
Light flashed again.
This time, the cold energy flowing into his body felt far greater.
Shu sensed the Cursed Energy within his Dantian, which had increased fivefold, and couldn’t help but click his tongue in admiration.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk! Even though in the view of the Jujutsu Kaisen world, everyone’s total Cursed Energy is determined at birth and won’t increase in the slightest even if they practice for a lifetime. But unfortunately, this is the all-powerful Main God Space! Here, as long as you have money, what is called an ‘aptitude ceiling’ is merely a number in an exchange menu!”
Feeling the abundant Mid-Tier Cursed Energy within his body, Shu habitually directed this energy toward his eyes once more to launch a fierce strike.
This time, it was like an unstoppable overflow of energy.
*BOOM!*
Something seemed to shatter within Shu’s mind.
His eyes felt an intense burning sensation, but accompanying it was an observational ability he had never experienced before.
He opened his eyes wide, and within those blood-red pupils, right next to the black tomoe that had once been alone, a new, complete tomoe appeared, shockingly.
Two tomoe rotated slowly, circling his pupils.
Two-Tomoe Sharingan, success!
Shu couldn’t help but exhale: “Huuu… this sensation of overflowing power surging upward… it’s truly wonderful.”
Only after experiencing it himself could one understand that the Uchiha were actually physically abnormal as well.
As long as one succeeded in awakening or leveling up the eyes, basic stats would increase.
Shu could now feel clearly that with the awakening of the Two-Tomoe Sharingan, his base strength, nerve reaction speed, and other physical stats had increased drastically.
Not only that, the chakra reserves within his body, which were once only at the Genin level, also underwent a drastic surge.
Even the quality of his chakra became far better.
Shu still wanted to continue breaking through to the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, but he couldn’t, because he was still missing a little bit.
He had to give up for the time being.
After experiencing the Two-Tomoe Sharingan, his observational and genjutsu abilities had improved. New chapters come out on g.com first.
Shu clenched his fist and began calculating in his heart.
“If I follow the prices set by the Main God Space to upgrade the Sharingan directly, I need to spend 1 Rank-C Plot and 2000 Reward Points just to go from One-Tomoe to Two-Tomoe.”
“Whereas I am now exchanging for the Cursed Energy system, spending a total of 1 Rank-C Plot, 1 Rank-D Plot, and 3300 Reward Points.”
Seen on the surface, he spent 1 Rank-D Plot and 1300 points more—seemingly, he was at a loss.
However, that wasn’t how calculations worked!
He now had not only succeeded in evolving his Sharingan into a Two-Tomoe, but within his body, he had also genuinely added a Cursed Energy system equivalent to a Grade 3 Jujutsu Sorcerer.
This meant he not only possessed a dual-energy system and obtained a way to conquer spiritual entities, but his close-quarters combat ability had also increased significantly.
More importantly, he had also opened up a shortcut that could steadily improve the Sharingan without needing to suffer mental torment.
This efficiency ratio…
it was an absolute sweep!
And it wasn’t over yet.
Shu took a deep breath, and the light of excitement in his eyes grew even more intense.
He could detect that the bloodline exchanges from the Main God Space weren’t as simple as they seemed.
Every exchange from the Main God Space only provided the floor of someone’s most basic abilities, whereas the extent of the ceiling one could reach depended entirely on self-exploitation.
It was like being given a weapon and a manual.
If one wanted to play this weapon skillfully, or even perform deep modifications, one still had to dig and understand it for oneself.
After all, the Mid-Tier Cursed Energy he had just exchanged for was clearly stated in its summary to be equivalent to a Grade 2 to Grade 3 Jujutsu Sorcerer.
And in the setting of Jujutsu Kaisen, whether a Jujutsu Sorcerer was strong or weak was determined by three core elements: technique talent, total Cursed Energy, and Cursed Energy control.
Among them, 99% of Cursed Techniques were predestined at birth.
Total Cursed Energy also had an extremely strict innate ceiling.
Therefore, only Cursed Energy control was the sole thing that could be honed and improved through continuous, hard training.
What the Main God Space had just bestowed upon Shu was only the most basic Cursed Energy control to manage his current energy—like a novice driver who had just received their license; it was great enough that they could operate the car without hitting a tree.
Furthermore, the Cursed Energy output provided by the Main God Space was also considered quite ordinary.
Shu closed his eyes and felt the sensation of scorching heat coming from his eyes.
He could feel that, in truth, the amount of Cursed Energy was already sufficient.
Earlier, when trying to break through, he could feel that the distance to breaking through the Three-Tomoe Sharingan barrier was only one final step away.
