The King of Curses

Chapter 102 Five Immortals
"Not every spellcaster is good at fighting, and even for those who are good at fighting, their fighting style is often very different depending on the aspect of their spellcasting that they are good at."

The brother and sister walked behind, while An Zhizhen walked in front, explaining his ideas to them.

"Therefore, we decided to first adopt a broad classification method, roughly dividing different people's curse power into several categories, setting standards based on different categories, and then combining the proportions to come up with a comprehensive evaluation."

"That is the Five Immortals' Dharma of 'Heaven, God, Earth, Man, and Ghost'..."

Among them, the Celestial Immortal System is the most rare and mysterious, involving the power of time, space and destiny. People with the potential of the Celestial Immortal System's curses will be valued and carefully cultivated no matter which force they are in. They can be said to be the pride of heaven.

The immortal system is all-encompassing and has a wide range of categories. Some involve ethereal concepts, and some are so strange and bizarre that they are difficult to classify into other categories, so they are included in this system;
The Earthly Immortals are good at harnessing the power of nature. They include the Five Elements Escape Technique, Returning Wind and Fire, Calling Wind and Rain, the Five Thunders, and Planting Trees to Create Forests.
The human immortal system, who possesses great power in himself, often has supernatural powers such as infinite strength and invulnerability at the beginning, refines the skin, changes tendons, changes blood, strengthens bones and cleanses the marrow, gradually goes deeper, and builds an invincible golden body;
The ghost immortal system is a variety of strange and bizarre methods, such as controlling ghosts and exorcising monsters, capturing souls with a round light, and pursuing the dark and the underworld. Those who are good at this can be called ghost immortals.

Not all curses can be strictly divided. For example, in Cen Dongsheng's "Other Transformations", the powers of the "three demons" are all related to the body, showing obvious "human immortal" characteristics, but the "tiger soul" ability is more like a "ghost immortal";
Moreover, "Other Transformations" has the characteristic of being extremely adaptable to the desires of the spell-master himself. If a different spell-master were to practice it, he would absorb the image of a different "demon" and have a different mind, and perhaps he would not become a muscular and brute.

Once one has completely mastered this special spell and transformed himself into a free demon, his body could change infinitely and the power of change could cover all things, then it would involve the realm of immortals.

Therefore, it is necessary to build a comprehensive evaluation system on this basis.

"By borrowing the measurement methods of the 'unit level' in the past scientific system and deriving a 'basic physical quantity' or 'basic counting standard', a whole set of measurement methods can be established..."

While An Zhizhen was introducing her lover incessantly, she did not forget to praise the contributions made by her lover.

"It is thanks to Cen Dongsheng that I can have such a clear idea."

"Ha ha……"

Cen Dongsheng felt a little embarrassed when he received the praise.

The future ruling bureau led by An Zhizhen will pass on the knowledge and experience gained through accumulated practice and theoretical research to An Zhizhen himself.

This kind of thing is really nothing to be proud of.

"Can it really be measured? Then let me try..."

The little girl interrupted and showed a rare interest in An Zhizhen's words.

You definitely can't do it at this level - before Cen Dongsheng opened his mouth, Sister Zhizhen was the first to refuse.

"I'm sorry, Miss Yi, this place can't support your abilities."

An Zhizhen looked regretful, but she wasn't pretending. If possible, she would certainly like to have the data recording "Infernal Hell".

Yi Qingyan curled her lips but didn't say anything else.

"Also, the celestial and divine curse masters are quite special. They require eyewitness testimony and personal narration. There is currently no universal method."

……

Ten minutes later, Cen Dongsheng walked into a room of about 50 square meters alone. He looked around and then walked to the human-shaped target in the center.

There was nothing around except this one goal.

Below the target is a heavy base with springs and electronic tubes. It is surrounded by white cushions that absorb impact and is covered on an alloy plate. Under the alloy plate is also a pressure scale that has been tested for sensitivity.

There are bulletproof glass windows above the room, behind which are the on-site monitoring personnel and researchers.

In the most conspicuous place, a horn and a large indicator light are hung.

He looked around and nodded slightly.

Yeah, that’s a bit of the point.

This place has a nostalgic feel. Although it is still a bit shabby, I didn't expect that the prototype of the level test eight years ago had already determined the general atmosphere...

"Ding."

There was a loud and shrill warning tone, and the large indicator light flashed red.

"Hey, Dongsheng, can you hear me?"

Sister Zhizhen's voice came from the loudspeaker. It seemed that she was personally hosting this test.

"can hear."

Cen Dongsheng waved towards the glass.

"Please press the button."

He did as he was told and pressed the switch of the human-shaped target.

The indicator light above my head began to flash regularly, and after three seconds, it turned green.

A line of text appeared on the target's electronic display screen:
"The test begins."

Hearing this, he raised his fist.

……

Behind the glass window, An Zhizhen and Kong Yinlian looked down at the man in the field. She said to her subordinates:
"Ginlian, you've seen it just now. Among the people we recruited here, there are a few 'old stubborn' people who cling to the old worldview."

"Yes, boss."

"To be honest, I am disappointed with their rigid thinking. But I still decided to give them another chance and let them see a corner of the new world with their own eyes..."

Besides them, there were other people in the room. All the researchers in white coats were staring at the man.

Cameras in different locations captured his appearance from all angles, and the observation data on the display was no different from that of ordinary people.

The young man was tall and strong, with beautiful muscles, but that was not what they wanted.

They came here for the promise made by the woman, which represents the future direction of human society and symbolizes the power of evolution into the next stage.

Before witnessing this with their own eyes, some people always have doubts and distrust in their pupils.

"Let them open their eyes, Dongsheng."

she whispered.

If it is just to convince them, it can be easily done by using "Tian Kui Quan Shou";
If she just wanted to shock and terrify them, then she should agree to Yi Qingyan's request and use the destructive force of "Infernal Hell" that completely transcends common sense and is unreasonable to destroy the worldview they have always believed in;
Or those strange and evil ghosts and monsters...

But none of the above was what she wanted.

What she wants to show is not the bad and chaotic side of the future world, because that is clearly in front of everyone; but the "good" side full of "possibilities", where there is huge potential and precious treasures.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the man finally moved.

He raised his fist.

The man's posture was very professional, like a professional boxer; but there was a moment of pause in his smooth movements, as if he was accumulating strength.

If someone could see through his clothes and see the muscles underneath, they would find that his muscles seemed to have turned into water at a certain moment, with ripples spreading out in circles; it was also like countless springs were squeezed to the extreme, and the twisted force followed the heels rooted in the ground all the way up, along every inch of the lines, until it was all poured into the five fingers clenched into a fist.

"Boom!"

Flowing water turns into steel.

A shrill sound came from the radio, which was the sound of a fist tearing the air.

Just like the slow motion commonly seen in action movies, when the man's fist hit the target, the entire target flew up along with the base below. The target was instantly unrecognizable, with a large number of metal parts scattered from the curled and cracked shell. The target did not fall down, but became a shadow, wrapped in a sharp wind, and flew towards the wall in the distance.

"Crack!"

The sharp point of the base penetrates the sponge pad and alloy plate and is deeply embedded in the wall.

The whole room shook violently as if there was an earthquake, and the shock wave spread upwards along the wall. Even after being buffered and diluted by several layers of defense measures, the man's fist power was still fierce and powerful, and spider-web-like cracks appeared on the reinforced concrete.

The people in white coats standing in the room upstairs were frightened by the sudden vibration. They were caught off guard and almost fell to the ground.

But at this moment, no one cares about such things.

They looked at each other, and what they saw in each other's eyes was disbelief and shock... followed by ecstasy.

What did they see?
A superman, a warrior who, with human flesh and blood, surpasses the creations of modern technology——

"Ms. An, can I ask for this gentleman's contact information? I want to talk to him privately..."

One of the blonde female scientists had a fanatical expression on her face, and she respectfully asked a question to the woman with long straight black hair in the middle of the room, their boss.

The other party heard it, but just blinked and gave the foreign woman a somewhat creepy smile.

The female scientist was soon dragged away by the people around her, with her mouth covered.

Although they were scientific researchers, it did not mean that they were ignorant of the ways of the world. They had seen the man before, twice including this time, and he had the highest level of security certificate in the institute. Everyone saw the intimate relationship between the man and woman.

However, some people originally thought that this man was just her bodyguard and lover, but they didn't expect that the other party himself was unusual.

……

An Zhizhen didn't care what these people thought.

"That's a good start."

The woman chuckled.

She had originally planned to find a fairy-like spell-master to open people's eyes, but it was obvious that no one she could find at the moment could compare with Cen Dongsheng.

The people in the laboratory will soon come into contact with the earth immortal system and the ghost immortal system. Before that, they need to have some understanding of ghosts and the "true qi" flowing in the human body.

The human-immortal system is "plain and simple" on the scene, but it is obviously beyond the scope of normal humans. This is a gradual process.

“Even in areas that seem incomprehensible, humans can eventually glimpse the truth.”

To do this, they need to keep their feet on the ground and receive guidance from a "genius" who can see into the future and look up at the stars.

……

Cen Dongsheng retracted his fist and looked at the target embedded in the wall. He remained calm and composed, without a drop of sweat on his body.

"Let's stop here."

He heard a voice behind him and turned around to see Sister Zhizhen pushing open the door to the emergency passage.

"Is that enough?"

"Ah."

She responded with a smile.

Cen Dongsheng glanced at the window above. Sister Zhizhen had already discussed with him before the test began. The purpose of this test was to allow some ordinary people to witness the ability of the curse master with their own eyes.

So, he did not hold back.

The force that erupted at that moment was enough to blow up the tank with one punch. In addition, his own protective properties were enough to protect him from the high temperature, pressure and shock wave of the bomb...

Most modern thermal weapons have almost lost their effect on such monsters. The only ones that can restrain him are weapons of mass destruction with greater power and wider coverage.

But unless he really stands there stupidly and allows himself to be bombed, in fact, the violence in human society today - the police and the army - are already difficult to restrain him.

The balance of the world is tipping.

Today's human civilization seems brilliant, but its foundation is as fragile as a castle on the beach.

Globalized capitalism has enabled humanity to break free from its isolated island, and has also forced the functioning of society to rely on a large industrial system in which everyone becomes a gear; the city has become the heart that connects countless economic blood vessels, and damage to the heart is enough to be fatal.

If an individual who lives in a city and lurks in human society, and whose body is no bigger than a human, has the power to create bomb-level destructive power with just a wave of his or her hand, then his or her threat level will be a hundred or a thousand times that of a bomb itself.

When the number of such individuals reaches more than four digits, the overthrow of the entire social order will be a matter of a blink of an eye.

This is just the most brutal approach. The existence of a philosopher king will make this change come more silently and naturally.

"Now is the time to get them busy. If nothing unexpected happens, this place will slowly get back on track."

Sister Zhizhen said.

"Next, I will work hard to establish a supernatural response committee."

An Zhizhen never hid her plans from him, she asked with a smile.

"I guess you really have no interest in the laboratory. What about the committee? Remember our previous agreement, you will become a well-known master among the curse masters and become a signboard."

Cen Dongsheng nodded seriously without hesitation.

"Very good. I'll discuss this with you in detail once we have a rough outline. For now, let's go home."

Before driving away from the laboratory, Cen Dongsheng took one last look at the place.

The knowledge gained from this place will be spread and popularized to every corner of society in the future. As someone who has witnessed all of this, he is looking forward to it.

*
Then, it's a new morning again.

Cen Dongsheng came out of his bedroom. Sister Zhizhen was still sleeping in as usual, while Yi Qingyan was already sitting in the living room.

She washed up, put on a new skirt and a small shoulder bag, and looked like she was getting ready to go out.

Seeing the man appear on the stairs, the little girl smiled quietly.

"Brother Dongsheng, do you remember that we made an appointment to go out and play together sometime?"

Cen Dongsheng scratched his hair, talking about the agreement made in the car that day.

"…Today?"

"You agreed?"

"Okay, it's okay anyway."

He yawned, went downstairs to splash some cold water on his face, and heard the girl say behind him:
"After seeing Dongsheng's abilities, I had an idea... I want to try a 'new game'."

Hmm? Games?

He turned his head and looked at the smile on Yi Qingyan's face, but he couldn't see what she was thinking at that moment.
