Chapter 116: Cursed Technique Reversal: Peerless Light

As the words fell, time seemed to be paused by a god; the entire scene was deathly silent, and all things were voiceless.

Then, a light appeared.

It was not a pillar of light shooting down from the clouds.

Instead, it was a beam of light that shot from the bottom up, punching through the thick dark clouds!

A pillar of light erupted from Lin Xuan's body toward the sky, like an invisible sharp sword piercing through those leaden, heavy clouds!

At this moment, he emitted an incomparable radiance. How pure was that radiance? How dazzling was it?

It was as if it were the first glimmer of light born when the Creator said "Let there be light" at the dawn of chaos.

Ultimate Light, ultimate divinity, ultimate purity.

It shone in all directions, dispelling all gloom. Rain evaporated in the light, and dark clouds dissolved within it. Wherever it passed, it brought warmth, peace, and the vitality of all things recovering.

Everyone stared blankly at that light, at that figure standing within the radiance.

At this moment, Lin Xuan's black pupils had turned into a brilliant gold. His expression was peaceful, devoid of any emotion. He simply hovered quietly in mid-air, his arms slightly spread as if he were about to embrace the entire World!

That posture, that light, those golden eyes free of sorrow or joy... if the God of Radiance had an image, this would be it.

Inside the Shrek rest area, everyone stood up involuntarily.

Ma Xiaotao's mouth hung open, her pink eyes full of shock. Dai Yueheng, lying on a stretcher, desperately lifted his head to stare fixedly at the figure in the light.

Ling Luochen's ice-blue eyes reflected that light; her usually cold face now held only a look of infatuation.

Ning Tian, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, He Caitou, Wang Dong, Chen Zifeng, Jiang Nannan... everyone stared blankly at that figure, their brains completely short-circuiting at this moment.

In the Sun Moon Team's rest area, Elder Ma and several other seniors also stood frozen in place.

They had lived for nearly a century and believed they had seen all the miracles of the World.

Yet the scene before them still exceeded their imagination.

Is this a damn Soul Sect?! Is this a damn human?!

The giant Toad formed by the fusion of Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen—Red Dust Attachment—was also hovering quietly in mid-air.

Those abyss-like black eyes reflected the light; it didn't move, or more accurately, it forgot to move.

And now, within the light.

Lin Xuan felt the surging power within his body, a sensation he had never experienced before.

His arms were slightly open, as if he truly intended to embrace the whole World! In this moment, it felt as though the World was under his control, the earth trembling with his heartbeat, and the storm harmonizing with his breath!

He was the center of the World!

Inside the Spiritual Sea.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and the Ice Empress were completely dumbfounded.

"This... what's the situation?!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm stammered. "Lin Xuan... is he about to become a god?!"

The Ice Empress didn't speak. she just stared blankly at the figure in the light, and for the first time, a look of bewilderment appeared in those ice-blue eyes.

She was the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, ranked seventh among the ten great savage beasts. She had lived for tens of thousands of years and witnessed the rise and fall of countless experts.

But she had never seen such power.

In an inconspicuous corner of the spectator stands, two people wearing cloaks removed their hoods simultaneously.

They were the two Soul Douluo experts from the Body Sect, Lang Ya and Yu Tao.

At this moment, the expressions on their faces were complex to the extreme: shock, pleasant surprise, and a near-manic greed.

"Ultimate Light..." Lang Ya murmured, his oversized head trembling slightly, his voice carrying an irrepressible excitement. "This is actually... the Ultimate level of the light attribute!!"

Yu Tao stared fixedly at the figure in mid-air, his exceptionally thick right arm trembling uncontrollably.

"What the hell is going on?! Could this kid actually have Twin Martial Souls?!"

Lang Ya didn't answer him because he couldn't tell what was happening with Lin Xuan. But whether it was Twin Martial Souls or some other reason, the Body Sect was determined to have Lin Xuan!

...

Cursed Technique Reversal—this term, in the World of Jujutsu Kaisen, can basically be seen as Gojo Satoru's exclusive skill. After all, besides him, only an Old freak like Kenjaku, who has lived for a thousand years, could master it.

The reason for this was simple: Cursed Technique Reversal was too difficult.

Cursed Power is essentially a form of negative energy born from negative emotions, while the Reverse Cursed Technique involves multiplying Cursed Power to produce the exact opposite: positive energy.

The two are like light and dark, life and death—completely antithetical.

Cursed Technique Reversal is the process of infusing this positive energy into an Innate Technique, causing the Innate Technique to operate in a completely opposite manner.

This results in a terrifying ability that is the inverse of the original technique and twice as powerful.

Just as Gojo Satoru's Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue is an endless attraction, Cursed Technique Reversal: Red is a destructive repulsion, with power far exceeding the former.

In the World of Jujutsu Kaisen, Lin Xuan had spent countless hours trying to master Cursed Technique Reversal.

Unfortunately, it was too difficult.

Mastering the Reverse Cursed Technique itself was already as difficult as climbing to the heavens, let alone Cursed Technique Reversal, which was countless times harder.

So, without any surprise, he failed.

After arriving on the Douluo Continent, mastering Cursed Technique Reversal became even more difficult.

Because he needed the power of Shikigami: Round Deer just to perform the Reverse Cursed Technique. Using borrowed power to deduce a deeper level of technique was an almost impossible task.

Even a few days ago, right before Lin Xuan truly mastered Cursed Technique Reversal, he wasn't certain if it could even succeed on the Douluo Continent.

After all, Soul Power is not negative energy.

How could two completely different power systems be compatible?

But later, he understood.

It didn't matter if Soul Power was negative energy or not; he only needed to be certain of one thing: his current Martial Soul's characteristics were the exact opposite of Round Deer's Reverse Cursed Technique!

One is destruction.

One is creation.

As long as the two were complete opposites, they could be reversed!

Just like light and dark, life and death, Blue and Red—as long as the direction was right, failing to master it was simply his own problem.

Thus, Cursed Technique Reversal was truly born!

Within the light, Lin Xuan looked down at everyone. Those golden eyes were now like two bottomless pools of spring water—clear, calm, and reflecting all things in heaven and earth.

He looked at the massive Crimson Gold Toad below and spoke softly, his voice echoing in everyone's ears.

"Red Dust Attachment is a very powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skill."

"But..."

Lin Xuan paused, then raised his right hand, palm down, aiming it at Red Dust Attachment.

"It's already over."

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen suddenly snapped out of their daze upon hearing this.

Meng Hongchen stared blankly at the figure in the light, her blood-red eyes now filled with nothing but a blurred longing.

She didn't want to fight anymore; she just wanted to watch him quietly, to watch this light until the end of time, forever.

Xiao Hongchen also felt somewhat discouraged.

So tired... really so tired...

Why? Why did this person still have a trump card?

Why did he always heartlessly pour a bucket of cold water just when everyone was excited and thought the victory was decided?

The more Xiao Hongchen thought, the angrier he got, and the angrier he got, the more he thought.

Damn it! Fuck! So what if you have Ultimate Light!

We haven't even fought yet; who knows what your actual strength is right now!

"The strength of my Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Red Dust Attachment, is comparable to a Soul Saint! I don't believe this Ultimate Light of yours is stronger than your black lightning!"

A roar resounded through the clouds!

The massive Crimson Gold Toad opened its mouth wide. Deep in its throat, the vortex-like crimson-gold light spun frantically, compressed, condensed, and then erupted with a crash!

A crimson-gold torrent over three meters in diameter shot straight toward Lin Xuan, who was bathed in radiance and pointing his palm at them!

That light was filled with the metallic clang of metal, the cold hardness of ice, and a hysterical madness!

Wherever it passed, the air was torn apart, space was distorted, and the surface of the Soul Fighting Platform began to melt. Rock turned to lava, and lava turned to steam!

When this crimson-gold pillar of light finished its dazzling display, the sturdy Soul Fighting Platform seemed to have turned into a sea of lava!

Off the field, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo Huang Jinxu's palms were covered in cold sweat. This was a full-scale confrontation between two Soul Saint-level powers.

One slip-up would result in death, and as the referee, he had to preserve the lives of both parties in a duel of this caliber.

Damn it, just let it end quickly!

Facing the incoming crimson-gold torrent, Lin Xuan's movements didn't change. He remained hovering in mid-air, his right palm down, aimed at the roaring pillar of light.

Those golden eyes were as calm as the eternal, unchanging sun.

In the next instant, pure radiance gathered in his palm. Then, he gave a light push forward, and a pillar of light one meter in diameter, composed of pure light, shot out instantly!

And it arrived first despite being launched later!

Amidst everyone's held breath, that pillar of light and the crimson-gold torrent collided violently!

However, the expected explosive roar, energy shockwave, and stalemate did not occur.

The moment the pillar of light hit the crimson-gold torrent, there wasn't even a hint of resistance.

It simply pushed forward toward Red Dust Attachment, slowly and steadily, while the roaring crimson-gold torrent couldn't even last a single breath against this light.

It wasn't suppressed, nor was it crushed; it simply vanished.

Like snow meeting the sun, like darkness meeting the dawn, like all impure things meeting that primordial sacred light.

The crimson-gold torrent turned directly into nothingness under that pillar of light.

Medicine Fairy Douluo Wang Xianer's pupils shrank, Heavenly Fiend Douluo Huang Jinxu's hands stopped trembling, and the Star Luo Empire Emperor Xu Jiawei narrowed his eyes sharply, a brilliant light flickering within his deep gaze.

"No... this isn't just a simple light attribute..." He paused, saying each word deliberately, "That light is decomposing Martial Soul abilities!"

Indeed, just as Xu Jiawei said, the core of Lin Xuan's ability after using the Reverse Cursed Technique was Decomposition, in addition to Ultimate Light.

It forcibly decomposed anything containing Soul Power into its most primitive form.

Whether it was an attack, defense, a Martial Soul, or a Soul Bone, everything would return to its original state before that light.

This Ultimate Light was the sharpest sword that could cut through everything, and the sturdiest shield that could block everything.

Lin Xuan's golden eyes were calm and rippleless. He gently pushed his palm forward again, and in the next instant, the pillar of light became even more brilliant!

So brilliant that one could not look at it directly, so brilliant that it eclipsed heaven and earth!

The gold-red torrent was completely unable to resist, decomposing entirely before the pillar of light and dissipating into the World as primitive Soul Power.

The massive Crimson Gold Toad formed by the Red Dust Attachment couldn't even last a second; it collapsed completely the moment the light pillar touched it.

Like waking from a dream, or morning mist meeting the rising sun, it vanished silently.

The figures of Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen reappeared in mid-air and then plummeted downward.

Both stared blankly at the figure still suspended in the light, their minds completely blank. At that moment, what they saw was no longer Lin Xuan.

But a deity, a true deity descending upon the mortal World.

In the sky, Lin Xuan slowly withdrew his palm. He looked around, his gaze sweeping over the 150,000 spectators. Wherever his eyes landed, no one dared to look directly at that radiance, which was like an eternal sun.

Everyone instinctively lowered their heads the moment they met his gaze.

Lin Xuan's gaze paused for a moment on an inconspicuous corner, but it was just a fleeting touch before he naturally looked away, as if it were just an accidental glance.

Having finished looking around, his figure flickered. When he reappeared, he had landed steadily on the Soul Fighting Platform. The radiance around him receded like a tide, and his golden eyes returned to their familiar deep black.

Everything returned to tranquility, as if the miraculous scene from just now was merely an illusion.

But the residual heat in the air, the molten lava on the ground, and the 150,000 wildly beating hearts reminded everyone that it was no illusion.

Lin Xuan walked up to the Hongchen siblings, who were slumped on the ground, and reached out both hands.

Meng Hongchen was stunned, then she almost eagerly grasped his hand and was gently pulled up.

Her palm was burning, and her cheeks were even hotter. She lowered her head, not daring to look into Lin Xuan's eyes, but she held his hand tightly, refusing to let go.

Xiao Hongchen gave a bitter smile. He shook his head and also took Lin Xuan's hand, but he didn't stand up immediately.

He just sat there on the ground, looking up at Lin Xuan. In his heterochromatic eyes, there was no more fighting Martial Soul or resentment, only an indescribable complexity.

"You won," Xiao Hongchen said hoarsely.

Lin Xuan didn't speak, only nodding slightly.

Xiao Hongchen paused, then suddenly asked, "I really want to know... was that your final trump card?"

Lin Xuan looked at him with a soft smile and said, "You've already seen all of my methods."

Xiao Hongchen was taken aback, then he rolled his eyes. "I don't believe you for a second."

Then he let go of Lin Xuan's hand and forced himself to stand up, swaying unsteadily.

Nearby, Heavenly Fiend Douluo Huang Jinxu gave Lin Xuan a deep look. He had never imagined that one day a Soul Sect could shock him so profoundly.

He took a deep breath, and his voice spread across the entire Star Luo Square via Soul Power.

"I announce that the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition has officially concluded! The champion is Shrek Academy!"

As his voice fell, the 150,000 people in Star Luo Square fell into a brief silence, followed by a mountain-shaking roar of cheers!

"Shrek! Lin Xuan!"

The waves of sound grew higher and higher, almost tearing through the sky! In the Shrek resting area, everyone rushed out.

Ma Xiaotao ran at the very front, her face covered in tears of joy. Ning Tian followed closely behind, her eyes red, yet she was smiling brilliantly.

Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, He Caitou, Wang Dong, Jiang Nannan, Ling Luochen, Chen Zifeng... even Dai Yueheng, who was lying on a stretcher, desperately lifted his head and grinned.

They rushed toward the Soul Fighting Platform, toward the figure surrounded by everyone.

Wang Yan slumped in his chair. Listening to the deafening cheers and watching the crowd on the platform tossing Lin Xuan into the air, he smiled with relief.

"Finally... we've taken this damn championship..."

On the Soul Fighting Platform, Lin Xuan was held up by Xu Sanshi and the others, tossed into the air again and again.

Bei Bei joined in the teasing, "Yeah! Isn't your Martial Soul a shadow? The darkness attribute and light attribute are Worlds apart!"

"Exactly!" He Caitou shouted at the top of his lungs, ignoring his injuries, "How many things are you hiding, kid?!"

Lin Xuan was tossed up and down, caught between laughter and tears. "Let's talk properly, put me down first!"

But unfortunately, no one listened to him.

"Wait—" Lin Xuan was tossed up again, and this time he felt a bit panicked, "Toss me if you want, but stop touching me randomly!"

A burst of laughter erupted from below. Xu Sanshi chuckled, "Who told you to be so handsome? What's wrong with a little touch!"

Bei Bei added expressionlessly, "It was you who touched him, wasn't it?"

"I did not!"

"Bullshit."

Jiang Nannan clutched her stomach, laughing so hard she couldn't stand straight. Ling Luochen stood on the periphery of the crowd, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, but soon her gaze fell on someone who shouldn't be there.

Meng Hongchen was currently standing at the edge of the crowd, gazing infatuatedly at Lin Xuan being tossed up and down, her hands over her heart and stars in her eyes.

The smile on Ling Luochen's face instantly froze. She walked over and looked coldly at Meng Hongchen.

"You're not from our academy, are you?"

Without turning her head, her eyes still glued to Lin Xuan, Meng Hongchen replied casually, "Oh, it's a happy moment, don't worry about such small details."

Ling Luochen: "..."

She took a deep breath and was about to say something when Lin Xuan was finally put down.

Everyone swarmed forward, offering their congratulations in a cacophony of voices. Lin Xuan straightened his ruffled clothes and shook his head helplessly.

...

High on the platform, Xu Jiawei stood with his hands behind his back. His gaze pierced through the jubilant crowd and settled on the figure surrounded by them. He fell silent for a moment before lightly beckoning.

"Dai Hao."

Duke White Tiger stepped forward quickly and bowed. "Your Majesty."

Xu Jiawei waved his hand, signaling him to dispense with formalities.

"Did you see it? Ultimate Light..."

Dai Hao nodded, his gaze also fixed on that figure.

"I saw it. And if I'm not mistaken, his darkness attribute is likely also at the Ultimate level. Even if it isn't, it's already very close. Furthermore, since he has a Body Martial Soul, once he undergoes a Second Awakening..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but both knew that once Lin Xuan's Body Martial Soul underwent its Second Awakening, there was a high possibility his darkness attribute would reach the Ultimate level.

By then, Lin Xuan would possess both Ultimate Light and Ultimate Darkness. Every Soul Master knew exactly what that represented.

After all, those two attributes separated had given rise to two Limit-level powerhouses.

"The Black and White Dual Holy Dragons..." Xu Jiawei narrowed his eyes and murmured softly. After a moment of silence, he spoke again, "Do you think he has Twin Martial Souls?"

"It's only a possibility," Dai Hao said solemnly. "But it could also be an ability of his Martial Soul that allows him to switch between darkness and light. Regardless of which it is..."

Xu Jiawei took over, "Regardless of which it is, Lin Xuan's value has already far exceeded our initial estimates."

At this point, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh. It seemed that a 200,000-year Soul Bone was no longer enough.

Meanwhile, in an inconspicuous corner of the spectator stands, two people dressed in black cloaks were staring intently at the figure on the Soul Fighting Platform.

Beneath the cloaks, their gazes were as fierce as knives.

"Ultimate Light..." the person on the left said in a low voice, as if squeezing the words through his teeth. "I didn't expect this boy to also possess the Ultimate Light attribute."

The person on the right narrowed his eyes and said hoarsely, "He was originally just a Soul Sect, there was no need to move against him so early. But now..."

He paused and added sinisterly, "If this boy is not eliminated, he will surely become a major threat to our Holy Cult."

The person on the left nodded. "He must indeed be eliminated, but for now, the most important task is to find the Fallen Heaven Douluo."

He shifted his gaze from Lin Xuan and looked into the distance.

"This boy is currently only a Soul Sect. No matter how strong he is, he won't be able to cause much trouble in the short term. But the Fallen Heaven Douluo... he is a Limit Douluo, someone capable of heavily injuring Shrek's Xuan Zi. If we can recruit him for the Holy Cult... it would be a monumental achievement for us."

The person on the right nodded. The two exchanged a glance before their figures slowly merged into the crowd and vanished without a trace.
