Chapter 553

Luo En slightly furrowed his brow.

Everyone here says that ju-li cannot be cultivated.

But any energy must have a way to be obtained; these people simply don't know it yet.

"If that's the case, then tell me your usual cultivation methods."

Luo En said.

Naizi revealed without reservation all the methods she cultivated.

These methods were all ordinary physical exercises, with nothing unusual about them.

The truly crucial factors were long-term training and substantial material support.

Without these, relying solely on these exercises would never yield high achievement.

Luo En obtained these methods and remembered them after just one look.

At the same time, he slightly furrowed his brow—most of these exercises appeared to be physical conditioning.

They were of no use to him; his current physique was already strong enough.

Naizi chuckled.

"Don't forget our agreement—we'll duel in ten days."

"But you must use only ju-li, not any other energy."

"If you win,"

"then I'll yield you the position of leader."

Saying this, Naizi left with a smile.

As she departed, she turned back to Luo En.

"Don't forget the gathering—you must attend."

Watching Naizi's retreating figure, Luo En rubbed his scalp.

This was probably picking up a stone only to drop it on his own foot.

The agreement was his own idea; he naturally had to honor it.

But he also knew that if ju-li truly couldn't be cultivated,

then in ten days he might not be able to convert all his energy into ju-li at all.

Henggang stared at Luo En in astonishment and said,

"Are you really planning to fight her? You just saw how strong her power was.

If you rely solely on ju-li, I doubt anyone without decades of cultivation could defeat her.

Fewer than a handful in the entire academy could beat her."

Luo En sighed.

"Since I made this promise, I have no choice but to fulfill it.

I plan to seek out one of the academy's teachers—she might have some answers."

Saying this, Luo En stepped out the door.

Before leaving, he glanced at the woman possessed by the curse and said to Henggang,

"She'll likely wake soon—take good care of her."

With that, Luo En walked swiftly toward the academy.

The academy's teachers lived within the campus and were always available when called.

Whenever students had difficulties, they would find ways to help.

When Luo En arrived at the academy, he sensed an immense energy permeating the grounds.

The students here all possessed strong ju-li, and the outward leakage of their energy served as a deterrent.

Luo En quickly learned the teacher's residence and knocked on the door.

The teacher opened the door, seeing Luo En, and looked slightly surprised.

She hadn't expected this new transfer student to visit her at night.

"Student, what brings you to me?"

The teacher asked gently.

Luo En said,

"Teacher, I have some questions about ju-li."

Hearing a student willing to ask questions, the teacher was delighted.

She immediately nodded.

"Ask freely—I'll tell you everything I know."

Luo En said, "What exactly is ju-li?

How does one use it?"

The teacher invited Luo En inside, then said to him,

"Let me first examine the ju-li within your body."

Luo En shook his head helplessly.

"To be honest, Teacher, I have no ju-li inside me."

"No ju-li?" The teacher was clearly astonished.

"How could someone without ju-li even enter this school?

Most who enter this school possess ju-li, though they're poor at using it."

That's why learning takes place at school."

Luo En said, "I indeed have no cursed energy, but I possess another kind of energy within me."

As he spoke, Luo En briefly showed the teacher the energy inside his body.

He said, "This energy has effects entirely different from cursed energy."

"When I fought curses before, I felt this energy was completely useless."

"You fought a curse?"

The teacher's expression grew even more astonished.

Freshmen rarely engage in actual combat with curses.

Most of them only carry out missions under the guidance of teachers or senior students.

And during these missions, the teacher does everything possible to protect them.

This ensures their safety.

But no one expected that Luo En, this brand-new freshman,

would dare to challenge a curse alone.

Even a weak curse possesses energy no ordinary person can match.

It can easily kill an ordinary person.

Someone who cannot properly use cursed energy is no different from an ordinary person.

Luo En nodded.

"Yes, I once fought a curse.

I exerted every bit of my energy, but it caused no damage whatsoever.

Fortunately, Nai Zi came to my rescue."

The teacher suddenly understood.

"With Nai Zi helping, she naturally felt safe—she's the strongest student in their class.

Her strength can even match a teacher's."

The teacher said, "I don't understand the energy inside you well.

Though it is powerful, it lacks the most crucial element found in cursed energy.

That's why it has no effect on curses.

But your internal energy is extraordinarily strong.

When you released it, it exerted immense pressure on me.

Even when facing powerful curses, I never felt such pressure.

Is this energy innate?"
