Chapter 572

But the magical power contained within the painting itself can manifest even stronger.

That surprised me somewhat.

These words fully piqued Luo En's interest; he wanted to know how the other had accomplished it.

Infusing magical power into a painting, endowing it with the ability to suppress curses, is indeed an extraordinary feat.

Luo En smiled and said.

"If you have time, may I visit you while you paint?"

Kusakichi Village nodded and said.

"I would be delighted."

He conversed warmly with both of them.

Luo En gained more information about this world from them.

Although this information was fragmented and somewhat disordered.

But Luo En could sort out some patterns with a little organization.

He knew curses ran rampant in this world.

And interpretations of these curses varied widely.

Everyone gave him a different explanation.

The teachers at the academy explained them merely as a form of energy.

Luo En also knew the concrete manifestation of this energy.

And Luo En had previously analyzed it and could easily extract this energy.

But now that he learned this energy could also be infused into paintings.

Luo En realized his earlier understanding of this energy had been far too narrow.

This energy would certainly not be as simple as he had imagined.

Thus its applications were endlessly variable.

At that moment, Nai Zi walked over.

She gazed at Luo En in surprise.

"I didn't expect you to become famous so quickly; everyone is talking about you now."

Luo En smiled faintly.

"I didn't think much of it at the time; I just wanted to punch him out and avoid further trouble."

Nai Zi said.

"I never imagined you were this strong—you knocked him out with a single punch, and he still hasn't recovered."

He's still lying in bed; I doubt he'll be getting up anytime soon."

Luo En said with a hint of helplessness.

"I guess I should go visit him."

Although the other had provoked first and had even proposed the sparring match with Luo En.

But Luo En knew that when dealing with a scion of a great family,

He still couldn't go too far.

Making the great family lose face would not be beneficial to him.

Even though he knew the other had acted with malice first, Luo En still had to go visit him.

To ease the current tension.

Nai Zi said, "He's in the first room on the second floor upstairs."

"You can go see him."

So Luo En went upstairs.

Katsumura Yota lay in bed, his entire body wrapped in bandages.

He was currently throwing a tantrum, scolding everyone who entered.

When Luo En walked in,

He immediately saw Luo En and began trembling all over.

Luo En sat down before him and said.

"I'm truly sorry—I hit a bit too hard; I didn't expect to injure you."

Seeing that Luo En had no intention of attacking him again, Katsumura Yota let out a heavy sigh of relief.

He said, "How are you so strong?"

"How did you train? I can feel the power you unleashed—I simply couldn't have resisted it."

Luo En said.

"It's only through years of relentless training that I've reached this level."

"But I was also lucky at the time."

Having been defeated by Luo En, he had long lost his former arrogance.

Even his speech had become much gentler.

He knew he was no match for Luo En.

If they fought again, he would likely meet the same outcome.

"I never expected the academy to have a student this powerful."

"No wonder Nai Zi invited you to visit."

"Compared to your strength, you certainly have the right to be here."

Even among members of great clans, not all can surpass you.

I can feel that your current strength has already surpassed everyone else's.

Luo En said.

"But our enemy is the Curse.

They are now rampant across the world.

I can feel the Curses growing stronger than ever.

They are utterly different from those recorded in ancient texts.

New Curses have recently emerged.

Therefore, we should devote all our energy to confronting these Curses.

Not to fighting each other."

Katsumura Yota glanced at Luo En and nodded.

It was an agreement with Luo En's words.

"Curses are indeed troublesome.

Not long ago, I encountered a Curse.

It was extremely powerful and trapped me.

Fortunately, I activated my treasure and barely escaped.

To this day, I have not yet defeated it.

If you can, I hope you will help me."

Luo En naturally could not refuse to confront a Curse.

No matter what the Curse targeted.

As long as the Curse existed, Luo En would eradicate it.

Luo En asked.

"Tell me, where is this Curse now?"

Katsumura Yota thought for a moment and said.

"When I escaped, I was on Bingshan.

There was a small, dilapidated hut inside.

Every nightfall, the Curse emerges to bring havoc upon the mortal world.

I believe that is its lair.

But at the time, I was too weak to follow it and eliminate it."
