"Satoru, are you some kind of sheltered pretty boy?"
"Pfft."
As Eiji finished speaking, Suguru Geto and Shoko Ieiri beside him burst into laughter.
You know, the description actually fits Satoru Gojo quite well.
"Huh?"
Satoru Gojo, who was squatting on the ground, had his glasses askew.
"See, 'sheltered' means not going out much. You used to stay in the clan all the time, and now you stay at Jujutsu High all the time and rarely go out, right?"
"That's because those old geezers wouldn't let me go out!"
"Don't those sheltered young ladies also have their families preventing them from going out?"
Satoru Gojo was about to retort to Eiji when Eiji interrupted him.
"Look."
Eiji pulled up his phone album and found a photo of Satoru Gojo in a maid outfit at a comic convention.
This was a treasured possession.
"Mmm, as expected of me. So Eiji, you're just envious of my handsome face, right?"
"Huh? I'm more handsome than you."
"How could that be? I'm way more handsome than you."
"No, I'm the handsome one."
"No, I'm handsome."
...
Shoko Ieiri watched the two of them, acting like kindergarteners, with a speechless expression.
While they were arguing, she moved behind Eiji.
Hard, long, and not just Cursed Energy shaped into wings, but actual wings...
Shoko Ieiri began to examine Eiji's wings.
She wondered if she could get some attached to herself later.
She wanted them to be white.
What girl could refuse becoming a radiant angel?
"Shoko! Who do you think is more handsome, us two!" X2
Shoko Ieiri, who was studying Eiji's wings, was startled by the two of them turning their heads suddenly.
"Are you two in elementary school?"
Shoko Ieiri covered her face in exasperation.
"Alright, you two, don't trouble Shoko anymore."
Suguru Geto, with his usual squinty-eyed, good-natured demeanor, stepped forward to mediate.
"Eiji, what's with this new look?"
Then, Suguru Geto steered the conversation back to Eiji.
"This is the Maximum Technique I just awakened: Ten Shadows Treasure Wheel."
"Maximum Technique?"
Suguru Geto's eyes widened in surprise.
"Yes, it's a Maximum Technique."
Eiji raised his right hand, and the Ten Shadows Treasure Wheel floating above his head drifted into his palm.
"The Ten Shadows Technique involves forming hand seals to summon corresponding Summoned Spirits from shadows."
"However, there's a limit to the size of the shadows, so the user of the Ten Shadows Technique can only summon a maximum of two Summoned Spirits at a time."
"But that's not the case anymore."
Eiji spoke and began to activate the Ten Shadows Treasure Wheel in his hand.
The treasure wheel started to spin.
Divine Dogs
Nue
Rabbit Escape
Orochi
Toad
Full Elephant
Tiger Grave
Round Deer
Uroya
Mahoraga
Under the summoning of the Dharma Wheel, the ten types of Summoned Spirits from the Ten Shadows Technique one by one appeared in the Training Ground.
"The Ten Shadows Treasure Wheel was created based on the core of the Ten Shadows Technique, and it itself possesses the ability to summon the ten types of Summoned Spirits. Because it is already in the real world, it is not affected by the size of the gate in the shadows, and can directly summon all the Summoned Spirits."
After Eiji's Summoned Spirits appeared, they began to roam around the Training Ground.
Due to Eiji's Cursed Energy reinforcement, the size of the Summoned Spirits, except for Rabbit Escape, were not small.
"Eiji, do you want to open a zoo at Jujutsu High?"
Satoru Gojo was very interested in this.
"Sure."
Eiji didn't have any objections.
He actually agreed...
Shoko Ieiri, holding a Rabbit Escape, looked up at the sky speechlessly.
Interestingly, after Rabbit Escape received the reinforcement of Cursed Energy, its size did not increase, but instead, it would turn into more Rabbit Escapes.
"I see, this way you won't be limited by hand seals and the number of Summoned Spirits anymore."
If one only looked at the Cursed Techniques, Eiji's Ten Shadows Technique had two obvious disadvantages compared to Suguru Geto's Cursed Spirit Manipulation.
The first was the hand seals.
In their previous sparring sessions, Suguru Geto, a master of taijutsu, had often used this method to gain the upper hand against Eiji.
Suguru Geto could summon Cursed Spirits while fighting, but Eiji had to find opportunities to perform hand seals while fighting.
If he didn't find a good opportunity, Suguru Geto wouldn't hesitate to strike hard while Eiji was performing his hand seals.
But now, this weakness no longer existed.
Eiji only needed to use his Maximum Technique to summon the Ten Shadows Treasure Wheel, and then input Cursed Energy, and the Ten Shadows Treasure Wheel would help Eiji complete the summoning process.
This leveled the playing field in terms of summoning speed.
The second was the quantity.
The Ten Shadows Technique could only summon 2 types of Summoned Spirits, whereas Suguru Geto's Cursed Spirit Manipulation could summon hundreds or thousands.
This allowed Suguru Geto to use numbers and tactical pressure more flexibly against Eiji.
Although Mahoraga could compensate for this gap, Suguru Geto now also had Orochi.
Even if it was slightly weaker than Mahoraga, with the cooperation of other Special Grade Cursed Spirits, it could still hold Mahoraga back for a considerable amount of time.
It was like a peerless general charging into battle alone, only to be surrounded and contained by a well-trained elite army formation.
During the time Mahoraga was held back, Suguru Geto had the opportunity to directly threaten Eiji himself.
If Eiji were killed, the summoning of Mahoraga would naturally be canceled.
But now, Eiji could summon all 10 of his Summoned Spirits at once.
After assigning some of them to contain Mahoraga, other Cursed Spirits would have difficulty posing a threat to Eiji.
The advantage of Cursed Spirit Manipulation over the Ten Shadows Technique had completely vanished.
"I have now mastered the core of the Ten Shadows Technique, and my use of the Summoned Spirits is no longer as rigid as before."
As he spoke, Eiji extended his hand towards the Summoned Spirits.
The Ten Shadows Treasure Wheel spun.
The Summoned Spirits transformed into shadows and rapidly gathered around Eiji.
Divine Dogs transformed into combat boots, with two majestic dog heads on the knee parts.
Uroya transformed into twin long spears, and Full Elephant transformed into a large shield.
Tiger Grave transformed into imposing beast-faced armor, and Nue transformed into a pair of jet-black wings.
Round Deer transformed into a helmet, with magnificent deer antlers soaring upwards, and Orochi transformed into shoulder pauldrons.
Eiji's shadow climbed onto this Ten Shadows Armor, and then dyed the entire armor's color to a predominantly black hue.
The entire set of armor gave off a chilling and domineering aura.
Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto immediately approached.
"Oh right, what is this thing for?"
Satoru Gojo looked at the Toad standing behind Eiji.
"This? Turn off your Infinity, and I'll show you something."
Then, at Eiji's signal, the Toad jumped directly into the shadow.
"Trying to sneak attack? How boring."
Just as Satoru Gojo had expected, the toad leaped out from its shadow.
Satoru Gojo glanced at it and didn't pay it any mind.
The next moment, the toad's belly bulged.
Countless Rabbit Escapes launched towards Satoru Gojo like cannonballs.
"Oh my?"
Satoru Gojo, sensing the situation behind him, immediately dodged the Rabbit Escape barrage.
The next moment, a Rabbit Escape, not scattered like petals but precisely launched by the toad, spun towards Satoru Gojo.
The Rabbit Escape's small claws fiercely slapped Satoru Gojo's face.
At that moment, Satoru Gojo heard a voiceover in his ear saying, "Merlin should die."
It was Eiji's voice.
Satoru Gojo clutched the red paw print on his face and looked at Eiji with a wronged expression.
As expected, those who play tactics have dirty minds.
That last move was definitely Eiji's deliberate design, otherwise, the Rabbit Escape launched by the toad itself wouldn't have hit him.
"So that's how it is. Normally, seeing a toad open its mouth, you'd expect it to stick out its tongue, making the appearance of Rabbit Escape more surprising."
Suguru Geto stroked his chin.
Suguru Geto felt he could use this move too, and then it would be no problem to have a cursed spirit within a cursed spirit within a cursed spirit.
