After calming down, Shinji took out the [Cursed Technique Enhancement Scroll] and hesitated for a moment.
If he used it on [Crimson Blood Manipulation], he might be able to directly start constructing a domain, saving the reward for Hidan's third stage bond mission.
But similarly, it was also possible that after using it, he would still be short of that final step, wasting it for nothing.
Shinji thought carefully. His bond value with Hidan was already 850 points, only 150 points away from steadily opening a domain.
Moreover, there was a bond mission in progress, and completing it perfectly would get him 100 bond points.
During this time, he only needed to find a way to fleece him once more, and he might be able to directly take the last 50 points.
So to be on the safe side, he chose to use this [Cursed Technique Enhancement Scroll] on the newly acquired [Cursed Speech]. This choice was undoubtedly the most stable.
He tore open the [Cursed Technique Enhancement Scroll] with a swish!
The familiar light immediately brought Shinji's consciousness into another world, and he began to practice and comprehend the power of [Cursed Speech] through another person's perspective.
He didn't know how long had passed in that world, but only a moment had passed in the real world.
When Shinji's eyes regained their brilliance, that memory immediately turned into the most valuable experience and merged into his body, his brain.
"So the so-called [Cursed Speech] isn't just about being able to speak. Pronunciation, resonance, and even the frequency of Cursed Energy output... all affect the power of [Cursed Speech]. If one's own Cursed Energy is insufficient and one doesn't practice enough, some syllables can't even be pronounced."
In addition, Shinji also learned a lot of [Cursed Speech] usage experience and techniques.
For example, the shorter the syllable, the easier it is to exert power.
The longer the [Cursed Speech] you want to express, the more Cursed Energy it consumes. Roughly, for every additional syllable, the Cursed Energy consumption doubles, and the burden on the body becomes heavier.
In addition, [Cursed Speech] is also divided into two categories: 'easy to achieve' and 'difficult to achieve'.
For example, if Shinji said to Hidan: "Lie down"
Even without the power of [Cursed Speech], Hidan could easily complete this command, and his own resistance wasn't strong, so this belonged to 'easy to achieve'.
The Cursed Energy consumption and backlash were within the normal range.
But if Shinji said to Hidan: "Explode"
Under normal circumstances, Hidan couldn't complete "Explode", but under the power of [Cursed Speech], he was forced to explode. This belonged to 'difficult to achieve'.
The Cursed Energy consumption and backlash would increase exponentially!
Finally, Shinji once again used the [Cursed Technique Enhancement Scroll] to master his own exclusive [Ultimate Style] ability.
Although it might not be so cool, the increase in his strength was huge.
Letting out a breath, Shinji was very glad that he could still speak freely.
In another perspective, 'he', as a genius of the Cursed Speech Master clan, had suffered a lot.
He couldn't communicate normally with people at all.
Every word he spoke contained powerful Cursed Energy, and he might accidentally hurt others.
So the people of the Cursed Speech Master clan usually communicated with text or sign language. A very few people would try to use some specific, useless words to specifically refer to some meanings they wanted to express.
Some even more bizarre ones simply communicated with their eyes or thoughts.
Shinji couldn't help but suspect that they might just be 'saying' their own things, and no one understood what the other person meant.
However, Shinji's own situation was more special. His Cursed Energy needed to be converted before he could use Cursed Techniques, so he could speak normally at ordinary times.
When he needed to use it, he would inject the converted Cursed Energy into his throat and use [Cursed Speech].
Just as he got up to leave, he suddenly remembered something.
"Makes the language you speak more powerful?"
"If that [Microphone of Misfortune] can amplify the power of [Cursed Speech], then I'll make a fortune! Even if the side effects are very tricky, but if I only take it out to use at key moments, it might have miraculous effects!"
Shinji decided to find an opportunity to test it out.
"What did you go do? So mysterious."
At this time, Hidan and Tobi had finished fighting and shook hands again. Seeing Shinji come back, they were both a little curious.
Especially Tobi, he really wanted to follow and see what was going on.
But alas, he was bitten by a mad husky and had no chance to slip away.
"Just now I received instructions from Lord Jashin and learned a new Cursed Technique."
Shinji didn't intend to hide the meaning of [Cursed Speech]. This kind of thing couldn't be hidden, and he would have to take it out to use sooner or later.
Moreover, this power was a terrifying attack that you couldn't defend against even if you knew what the other party was going to do.
He naturally couldn't talk about the System, so he could only continue to pass the buck to Lord Jashin.
Anyway, it didn't matter if he had more lice, and he didn't worry about having more debts.
Surely the dignified Jashin wouldn't run out of thin air just to expose his lies!
Tobi hadn't understood what he meant yet, but Hidan was sour first.
"I'm clearly the first in everything, and I've given Lord Jashin so many sacrifices, why does Lord Jashin only favor you, and never give me a second glance?"
Hearing this, Shinji's face suddenly became very serious.
"Hidan, you have let down Lord Jashin's trust in you too much. In fact, Lord Jashin has been paying attention to you, and your every sacrifice has made Lord Jashin very happy."
"So this time, Lord Jashin specifically gave me instructions, appointing you as the new leader of the Jashin Cult, and bestowing upon you the glory of eternal life, as well as the honorary title of [First Believer]."
Looking at the envious expression written on Shinji's face, Hidan immediately straightened his back.
"As expected, Lord Jashin still values me the most!"
But in reality, Shinji was just drawing a cake. Apart from making up the honorary title of [First Believer], the first two were things that Hidan already possessed.
To put it bluntly, he was just fooling an idiot!
"Eh? That's not right. Since Lord Jashin values me so much, why do you have to convey the instructions through you? Wouldn't it be better to tell me directly? And why did only you get a new Cursed Technique, and I didn't get one?"
Shinji looked at the 'big smart' with surprise, and then sighed and said, "Because that requires paying a price. Every time Lord Jashin conveys instructions, it's a huge burden for me. Because Lord Jashin loves you too much, he chose me. And the new Cursed Technique is actually Lord Jashin's compensation to me."
"Sometimes, I'm really envious of you."
When this last sentence came out, it was a killing blow!
Hidan's already small amount of intelligence was instantly forcibly reset to zero.
"Hahahaha, there's nothing to be envious of. As long as you humbly learn from Master Hidan in the future, maybe you can also get Lord Jashin's special attention, and it shouldn't be a problem to get the honorary title of [Second Believer]."
Shinji humbly accepted the teaching, acting until the end.
Tobi's one eye, when looking at the arrogant and complacent Hidan, revealed a look of caring for the mentally handicapped.
