Xiao Su Nuo smiled awkwardly yet politely. Although she didn't say anything, her smile seemed to say a lot.

Seeing this, the snake decided not to pursue the matter further. In order to finish teaching the child as quickly as possible, it continued:

"For humans, the spell is engraved in the brain. If you want to understand the spell you were born with, you can only rely on yourself. Close your eyes and think carefully about what your ability really is."

"I can only rely on myself...?"

Upon hearing the snake's explanation, perhaps due to the power of the King of Curses' talent, Xiao Su Nuo suddenly realized something, then closed his eyes and began to ponder his own life-giving technique.

Not long after, Xiao Su Nuo found himself suddenly in a dim space. Here, there were corpses and bones everywhere, and on a hill made of bones, there stood a shrine that looked like it came from hell.

Standing here, Xiao Su Nuo's mind was flooded with a large amount of information. Calling it "flooded" is not quite accurate, as it was originally his own memory.

Invisible slash [Dispel], slash that automatically adjusts spell power output based on the opponent's strength [8], high-temperature flame [Stove], and an even more powerful and violent flame [Open].

In addition, Xiao Su Nuo could clearly feel an extremely large mass of negative energy in his waist and abdomen. Even if no one told him, he understood that this was the incantation power required to release the spell.

Although she didn't know whether her magical power was high or low, Xiao Su Nuo knew that with her current total magical power, she could easily unleash thousands or even tens of thousands of slashes, which should be considered passing...

"Kid, judging from your expression, you must have found some information. Now use your spell on me to see what level you're at."

Just as Xiao Su Nuo was digesting his life-giving technique, the snake summoned his consciousness from his mind. Now, possessing power, Xiao Su Nuo stared at the giant demon snake before him, a smirk playing on his lips.

Before the snake could react, Xiao Su Nuo raised his hand and unleashed a spell on it, several invisible slashes instantly striking its body.

shhhhhh!

With a whooshing sound, the scales were cut open, and a sharp pain suddenly surged through the snake, causing it, which had previously disregarded Xiao Su Nuo, to cry out in alarm:

"You brat! How dare you hurt me?!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the snake became ferocious, its fangs flashing coldly, as if it would tear Xiao Su Nuo to shreds in the next second.

However, just as the snake was about to bite, it suddenly noticed a gaze falling on it. Looking over, it saw Lilith, who was sunbathing, had opened her eyes and was looking at it calmly with her purple eyes.

This is bad...

Feeling the invisible pressure, the snake quickly withdrew its head, reverting to its previous kind and approachable neighborly demeanor. It even went against its conscience to praise Xiao Su Nuo's sudden and unexpected slashes:

"Ha, what a powerful technique! It actually managed to slice through my scales the moment I relaxed. Once I have a deeper understanding of this technique and the ability to unleash a domain, I'll definitely become a powerful figure who commands respect. Haha..."

After saying this, the snake looked at Xiao Su Nuo, only to see Xiao Su Nuo squinting at it, its expression clearly saying that it was doing it on purpose!

"You brat...!"

Seeing Xiao Su Nuo's arrogant expression, the snake couldn't control its emotions and let out a curse, but it quickly regretted it. It stiffly turned its head to look at Lilith and gave an embarrassed smile:

Would you believe me if I said it was a slip of the tongue?

Lilith smiled without saying a word, casually glancing at the severed scale on the snake's head. Su Nuo's three slashes had clearly struck the same spot.

Xiao Su Nuo deliberately attacked the snake to avenge being frightened by it a year ago.

Lilith shook her head, somewhat helplessly:

"If he holds grudges like this, will he become a revenger someday...?"

Chapter 65: Two negatives make a positive, the Reversal Technique

Lilith didn't interfere much with Kosuke's playful fight with the snake. She could see very clearly that after Kosuke fully awakened his life technique, the snake's threat to him was greatly reduced. In fact, it could be said that Kosuke had the ability to kill the snake.

However, if Xiao Su Nuo tries to kill the snake now, it will likely end up with both sides being injured. Since the snake is a monster formed from negative energy, it only needs to inject negative energy into the wound to heal it instantly.

Unless Kosuke can unleash thousands upon thousands of slashes in an instant and land them precisely in the same spot, Kosuke, whose spells are inefficient, will be the first to be worn down by the snake's regenerative abilities.

"The road to becoming the King of Curses is long and arduous..."

Lilith sighed, then closed her eyes and continued to leisurely bask in the sun...

After injuring the snake and enraging it, Xiao Su Nuo was extremely pleased with himself. Now, on this mountain and in this lake, he was no longer the weakest one.

Looking at the snake suppressing its anger, Xiao Su Nuo couldn't contain his joy and smiled. He spoke softly:

"I'm no longer the guy you can easily scare. Let's get to know each other again. My name is Sukuna, or you can call me Two-Faced Sukuna."

Upon hearing this, the snake let out a long breath, its crimson eyes falling on Xiao Su Nuo, and it snorted coldly:

"I'll remember you, kid. I'll remember both your potential and your annoying appearance. But... you don't really think you're that strong, do you?"

"How to say?"

Xiao Su Nuo suppressed his smile and became serious. At this moment, he resembled a student waiting for the teacher to point out his shortcomings. Of course, his relationship with the snake was much like that.

Seeing Xiao Su Nuo's expression, the snake felt it had won the round. It slightly raised its head and said:

"It's not enough to just know how to use a technique; its effectiveness requires constant practice."

Although you are born with immense magical power, I noticed in your previous slash that only half of your magical power was converted into damage with each strike, while the rest simply dissipated.

And what about the strong? When using spells, they can ensure that most of their magical power is converted into damage, or use less magical power to unleash an attack with the same power as others.

Therefore, your total magical power only represents your lower limit, not your achievement, understand?

Upon hearing this, Xiao Su Nuo suddenly realized that the attack he had just unleashed had been reduced by half due to the loss of his magical power. If there had been no loss of magical power, the attack might have not only pierced through the snake's scales but could have even cut through its muscles.

The snake saw through Xiao Su Nuo's thoughts and couldn't help but chuckle. It said:

"Are you thinking about how powerful it would be if the spell power were completely converted into an attack without any loss? How naive."

Now I'm telling you clearly, it's impossible to fully utilize all magical power without any loss. Just think about it in your mind; saying it aloud will only make you a laughingstock.

"So that's how it is..."

Hearing the snake's words, Xiao Su Nuo felt a little regretful. However, since it was impossible to utilize the power of the spell to the fullest extent, he would try his best to make the efficiency of the spell as close to 100% as possible...

"Oh, right, there's one more thing."

Just as Xiao Su Nuo was silently making up her mind, the snake suddenly spoke:

"As humans, besides the difference in spell efficiency, there is another factor that most affects combat: recovery efficiency."

As a demon, my body is composed of negative energy, so I can easily repair my injuries with negative energy, but you can't.

Your body is neutral; negative energy spells cannot heal your injuries. This will make your stamina a huge weakness. If a demon were to trade blows with you, you would die a gruesome death in no time.

"Is this even possible?"

Xiao Su Nu murmured, then frowned slightly. He was pondering: if negative energy can repair the body of a demon, can positive energy repair the body of a human? But the question is, how can one obtain positive energy?

Just as Xiao Su Nuo was lost in thought, the snake thought he was questioning his existence because of the complexity of the spell, so it comforted him:

"Don't overthink it. Among humans, those who can master the Reversal Technique are all exceptional individuals. With your technique, you could easily kill most monsters without taking damage. Besides, you're only five years old. The Reversal Technique isn't something you can master right now..."

As the snake was speaking, it suddenly heard a "whoosh" sound as it cut through the air. It was startled, and then its brows furrowed.

It was Xiaosu Nuo who used an invisible slash on his own arm. Because he adjusted the output of his curse power, the slash only left a bloody gash on his arm.

Although the arm wasn't completely severed, the sight of blood gushing out was still shocking. As a temporary teacher, the snake was also somewhat anxious:

"Hey kid! What are you doing?"

Xiao Su Nuo did not answer. He focused all his attention on his mind and began to construct the reversal technique that could repair the injury.

The snake also discovered Xiao Su Nuo's intention and was about to scold him, "How can the reversal spell be learned so easily?" But before he could speak, he swallowed his words.

On Xiao Su Nuo's arm, the bloody cut stopped bleeding instantly and was then stitched up at a speed visible to the naked eye until no trace of the wound remained.

"Success! Reversal spell!"

Seeing that the injury on her arm had completely healed, Xiao Su Nuo tried to move her arm and was overjoyed when she found that there was nothing wrong with it.

The snake was somewhat bewildered when it saw this:

"You really learned it?"

Xiao Su Nuo looked at it, her tone firm:

"I've really learned it!"

"I go……"

The snake couldn't help but swear, and after regaining its senses, it quickly asked:

"How did you do that? Reversing spells requires superb control of magical power. Shouldn't you be at your age mastering spells? How did you learn to reverse spells?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Su Nuo scratched his head sheepishly, looked in the direction of the villa, and said:

"You said that as a monster, you can use negative energy to heal your injuries. As a human, you must use positive energy to heal your injuries. As for how to obtain positive energy... my teacher taught me that two negatives make a positive."

"Two negatives make a positive..."

Upon hearing this, the snake remained silent for a long time. It had lived for many years and this was the first time it had ever seen a genius like Su Nuo who had learned the Reversal Technique at the age of five. With his current achievements, even if he remained mediocre in the future, he would still be a great figure who could influence the world.

Now, the snake feels a slight sense of approval towards Xiao Su Nuo, an approval that doesn't originate from Lilith, but rather from within the snake's own heart:

“Kid, you’re pretty good. I have a feeling you’ll become a great figure like Seimei, or even… surpass him.”

In response, Xiao Su Nuo bowed slightly and said:

"Lend your auspicious words."

Chapter 66: Open Domain? Garbage

After awakening the ability to generate and reverse spells, Xiao Su Nuo's daily life changed from spending all day learning various kinds of knowledge to practicing generating spells and improving spell efficiency in the morning, and learning various advanced ideas under Amelia's guidance in the afternoon.

Without the sound of Xiao Su Nuo reading aloud, Lilith finally returned to her wonderful life of sleeping until she naturally woke up. However, the pain did not disappear; it was simply transferred to the snake.

Trainees should never practice their techniques inside the villa, as it would only damage the items and furnishings and increase Amelia's workload.

So, to avoid troubling Amelia, the sensible Sukuna moved the training ground to the lake. Every day, as soon as the sun rose, little Sukuna would arrive at the lake early and use spells on the water.

The invisible slashes created splashes on the lake's surface, and the scorching flames made the lake boil. Every time he used the spell, Xiao Su Nuo could feel that his understanding of the spell was deeper. This feeling of mastering power fascinated him and made him more and more diligent.

However, this diligence brought hardship to the snake.

As a legendary monster, the snake, though not human, maintains a healthy lifestyle throughout its long life.

I get a full ten hours of sleep every day, never sleep in late in the morning, and after breakfast, I immediately delve into my surgical techniques. I rest at noon, close my eyes and relax in the afternoon. Until bedtime, I maintain a good mindset and never carry fatigue into the next day...

However, this healthy lifestyle was ruined by Xiao Su Nuo. Every day at the crack of dawn, a loud bang would be heard on the lake, forcibly waking the snake.

If this had only happened once or twice, the snake could have tolerated it. But this situation lasted for a whole month. During this time, the snake could not find peace, and its normal routine was completely disrupted.

Finally, one day, the snake could no longer tolerate Xiao Su Nuo's disturbing behavior. Taking advantage of a gap in Xiao Su Nuo's attack on the lake, it surfaced and shouted at him:
