Chapter 547: New Power

He hadn't expected these powerful curse forces to be so easily swept away by that Nai Zi.

Luo En was greatly surprised, and he was also curious—just how strong was that Nai Zi?

Nai Zi said, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and leave! Do you plan to stay here forever?"

With that, she walked off with casual confidence.

Luo En and Henggang exchanged glances and both smiled.

They hadn't expected Nai Zi to suddenly appear and rescue them.

Henggang said, "I nearly got scared to death."

I never imagined my first mission would pit me against such a terrifying opponent."

Luo En asked in surprise.

"Are you on this mission for the first time too?"

Henggang nodded.

"That's right. Until now, I've only had theoretical training—I've never actually carried out a mission before."

Luo En couldn't help but admire him.

Henggang, on his very first mission, moved with such ease and quickly found his bearings.

Although the opponent they faced was overwhelmingly powerful,

he could still sense that if the enemy's strength had been equal, Henggang would have completed the task flawlessly.

"I didn't know you were this skilled."

Luo En said.

"If it were me, I'm not sure I could've succeeded."

Henggang muttered unhappily.

"Didn't we fail? But she succeeded—her strength is unimaginable."

Luo En nodded. Though he had no curse energy, he could still sense the power of the curse.

To eradicate this curse required considerable strength—it couldn't be accomplished by luck alone.

Even with great luck, without true strength, one could never easily destroy this curse.

Luo En knew Nai Zi's strength must be terrifyingly immense.

Yet she was still a low-year student—just what kind of background did she have?

Perhaps she came from one of the top few families.

As Luo En was thinking, Henggang slapped his shoulder.

"It's time we left. This place is definitely not safe to linger in."

There's still a lot of resentful energy drifting around."

If we accidentally inhale it, it could affect our mental state."

Luo En nodded, and together with Henggang, they walked out of the school.

When he stepped outside, he felt his spirits lift.

It was as if all the negative emotions had vanished.

Luo En was puzzled—he hadn't expected the school to be so thick with oppressive dread.

When he first entered, he'd felt as if a massive boulder had crushed his body.

He'd barely managed to break free.

The moment he passed through the gate, that sense of relief returned instantly.

Henggang seemed to feel the same.

He said, "I never imagined the resentful energy inside was this terrifying."

Nai Zi hadn't gone far—she seemed to be waiting for the two of them.

Henggang noticed and was surprised; he nudged Luo En.

"Look, she's waiting for us."

Luo En was also taken aback and hurried over.

When Nai Zi saw Luo En, her expression flickered slightly, but quickly returned to normal.

"Why are you so slow? Only now are you coming out?"

Did you plan to stay there longer?"

Luo En said.

"We didn't expect you to wait for us—we thought you'd have left already."

"Don't flatter yourself—who'd wait for you?" Nai Zi rolled her eyes.

"I just got tired, so I stopped to rest."

Besides, I still can't be sure whether that school is truly safe—I need to wait a while longer."

Luo En said, "So you're not going to travel with us then?"

But Nai Zi replied, "I've already confirmed the school is safe now."

So there's no reason to stay—I'm leaving too."

With that, she stepped forward.

After all, she was still a low-year student—her mentality couldn't possibly match that of upper-year students.

Luo En could sense that Nai Zi truly aspired to be a true powerhouse.

As long as someone was stronger than her, she wouldn't act so arrogant and domineering anymore.

Luo En asked.

What is going on with this school?

When we first entered, we sensed an extremely strong stench of terror.

But why would such a terrifying curse stench appear in a school?

Yokota was just about to answer, but Nai Zi beat him to it.

This world is filled with such negative emotions.

They are called curses, and sometimes these curses roaming the world grow immensely powerful.

At that point, they coalesce into human forms and bring chaos to humanity.

At the same time, their power is extremely strong; ordinary people are no match for them.

That is why we exist.

For years, that school has collected various curses, sealed them, and stored them inside the classroom building.

Normally, no one pays them any attention.

But over time, the seals on them have slowly weakened.

The evil energies inside are rapidly leaking out.

This is why he became like this."

Luo En nodded and said.

"Then how do you cultivate cursed energy?"

Nai Zi glared at Luo En. "Are you really going to ask such a stupid question? The teacher has explained this countless times in class."

Luo En said helplessly.

"I've already mastered the theoretical knowledge.

But I've never seen actual cursed energy. Could you show me?

What does this so-called cursed energy look like?"
