Chapter 151 Family Misunderstanding
What Cen Dongsheng used was the “correct method” to encourage people with potential to embark on the path of becoming a curse master. In fact, even without him, with Song Yutang’s talent, it was entirely possible for her to master the tricks of refining true Qi and using supernatural powers by accident.

——For example, when being cornered by ghosts.

According to Song Yutang’s account, when she encountered a ghost in the dormitory before, electricity burst out from her body and she drove away the evil in one breath.

However, this method is uncontrollable. Since I have a master like her, of course I have to choose the safest and most secure way for her to get started.

The girl sitting on the stone table had her eyes closed, her whole body was crackling with electric light, and her hair was moving without wind. If passers-by saw this scene, they would definitely be shocked.

“Controlling electric current, this is the ability of “Heavenly Thunder”…”

Judging from the scene, it is much cooler than my own abilities.

Cen Dongsheng thought to himself while continuing to give orders in a calm tone.

“Do you feel the energy emanating from your body? Now, learn to gather it, master it, and contain it within your body… Yes, that’s right, that’s it.”

The light of the electric current is slowly converging and gently disappearing into the girl’s body.

“Try to activate it with your true Qi again… then close it again, and repeat this process…”

……

A few minutes later, after hearing his master say “OK”, Song Yutang slowly opened his eyes.

She could clearly feel the flow of true Qi in her body, symbolizing that the Yang Qi, the breath of life, was being continuously transformed into true Qi. This process was still ongoing, but as her physical condition was stable, the only thing left was a matter of time.

The feeling of being “thorny all over” that I had always had disappeared.

The essence of the “static electricity phenomenon” that has been occurring frequently in recent times and has seriously affected her normal life is actually the leakage of energy that she cannot control. Now, this problem has been perfectly solved.

She twisted her fingers and watched the indigo electric light coming out of her fingertips like a nimble little fish swimming between her fingers, her expression filled with joy.

“Thank you, Master!”

Cen Dongsheng nodded and continued.

“Try out its power. This is your ‘superpower’.”

Song Yutang did as he was told.

How to release the electric current was like an instinct, without the need for training or thinking. She raised her hand and made a snapping gesture.

The electric current disappeared in an instant; and at the same time, a clump of short trees on the lawn not far away was broken by the lightning. The fallen branches and leaves were curled and charred, and traces of lightning strikes were left on the cross-section of the wood.

…Interesting, he thought.

As expected, different people’s curses have different characteristics. If we talk about the nature of “Heavenly Thunder”, it is fast-

It happened so fast that the naked eye could not keep up with it. Even with his current dynamic vision, it was difficult to track it.

Of course, Cen Dongsheng’s rich combat experience allowed him to quickly find a way to deal with it: since he couldn’t keep up with the attack of the lightning itself, he just had to stare at the opponent’s movements.

But if someone does not have this vision and experience, he will most likely be beaten passively.

“Wow!”

In comparison, Song Yutang’s own reaction was very simple: she was excited about releasing lightning, like a big kid who got a brand new toy.

Cen Dongsheng looked at her reaction and couldn’t help but smile.

“Okay, you can come down now.”

Song Yutang jumped down from the stone table, stood beside Cen Dongsheng, and waited respectfully.

Afterwards, the young man explained to her the difference between general curses and life-threatening curses.

“This is why I said you have talent. You released supernatural powers before you learned how to refine your true energy, so I guessed long ago that you have a life-limited barrier in your body.”

“I see.”

Song Yutang asked curiously.

“So, I can get other superpowers in the future… that is, forbidden spells?”

“Of course, it can be replaced.”

Cen Dongsheng replied.

“But for you, the most important thing right now is to develop your innate talents and not to aim too high.”

“I see.”

As mentioned before, the Life Ban does not require refining Yin Qi or breaking the rules to awaken superpowers. You just need to follow the steps to familiarize yourself with the abilities in your body.

But fighting, especially fighting that can stimulate the body’s potential and is full of danger and pressure, is still the best way to promote the awakening of superpowers. Ability that might have taken more than a year to master can be compressed into less than two months as long as there are sufficient opportunities.

Time waits for no one. At a time when things are going well and he is ready to make great achievements, he will certainly not watch his apprentice waste his time and talent.

“I remember that ‘Tianlei Wuwang’ is not only of the earthly immortal type, but also has the characteristics of the human immortal type…”

he thought.

“Is it possible to use electricity to strengthen her physical abilities? Perhaps we can consider enlightening her in this direction.”

*
Today’s teaching has come to an end. Cen Dongsheng reminded Song Yutang to remember to meditate every morning and evening. After developing the habit over a long period of time, it would be a natural thing for her to further explore the various skills as a spell master.

When it was time for lunch, the two went upstairs together and returned to Song Yutang’s home.

Song Yutang’s mother prepared a sumptuous meal, which made people’s mouths water; but after he sat down, the atmosphere at the table… was a little weird.

Cen Dongsheng was certain that the middle-aged couple were indeed looking at him with a scrutinizing gaze;
To put it more clearly, Song Yutang’s parents treated him as a boyfriend who came to visit them.

“Xiao Cen, where are you from?”

The man in front of me, who had an intellectual temperament and a serious expression, made me feel a little uncomfortable when he spoke the first sentence.

“Dad, why do you call me that?”

Song Yutang quickly looked at Cen Dongsheng’s expression and found that he was not angry, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

“What? Can’t I scream?”

The middle-aged man frowned. He had just been observing the interaction between the young couple. In his opinion, his daughter was too humble, and she was submissive and obedient. If she continued to get along like this, she would inevitably be bullied in the future.

It’s not that he can’t understand. After all, this is the first time his daughter has fallen in love at this age. She is innocent and naturally can easily immerse herself in the sweetness brought by first love.

But as parents, they can’t help but worry about their daughters’ emotional lives, fearing that her innocence will be exploited by scumbags.

Feelings are very fragile. Once you are cheated and your heart is broken, it is difficult to make up for it later. In order to prevent your daughter from going astray, you must see the true nature of men…

……

Song Yutang didn’t know that her parents had thought of so many things at once, but just by looking at their expressions, she could tell that they were definitely thinking the wrong thing.

“… You must have misunderstood.”

The girl sighed and covered her forehead with a headache.

“What misunderstanding can there be?”

“I’ve said it many times, Cen… he is my master, so I have to listen to him. I have nothing but respect for him!”

Seeing that her parents’ eyes were not relaxed but more suspicious, Song Yutang couldn’t help but want to lie on the table. She muttered:

“Master, he is really capable…”

Cen Dongsheng, who remained silent and watched the excitement, resisted the urge to laugh out loud, until Song Yutang cast a look at him that was a mixture of resentment and hope with an expression that said “Master, why don’t you speak?”, then he cleared his throat and prepared to end this farce.

Although Song Yutang himself consciously kept the secrets about the society of curse masters and supernatural powers confidential, Cen Dongsheng himself did not actually care about it.

He is not an ordinary spell-binding master. Even if the sky falls, the people around him can withstand it. With his identity and status, it doesn’t matter whether it is kept secret or not.

Besides, the times are changing so fast, and it won’t be long before the general public realizes that the world is falling apart. “You two, Yutang is right.”

Cen Dongsheng’s tone was calm, revealing an indescribable persuasiveness.

“She and I have a master-disciple relationship. I teach while she learns. You two don’t have to worry too much. I only treat Yutang as a junior.”

If he used the power of Tiger Soul, he could naturally “persuade” him easily, but the other party was his disciple’s family member, so he would not be so crazy.

Before coming up, Cen Dongsheng discussed the excuses with his apprentice. Directly displaying superpowers might be a bit too much, so Song Yutang planned to gradually let the adults in the family accept the fact.

Song Yutang’s parents looked at each other.

“What to study?”

“Learn Kung Fu.”

Without waiting for their questions, Song Yutang stood up and went back to the living room, and quickly brought back two iron balls, the kind of fitness balls that middle-aged and elderly people often rotate in their hands.

“Dad, you don’t want this anymore, right?”

As Song Yutang spoke, he handed the fitness ball to Cen Dongsheng.

The young man applied a little force with his five fingers, leaving clear fingerprints on the metal sphere, and then placed it on the table.

The middle-aged man was shocked when he saw this scene before he could stop it. He quickly picked it up to observe. No matter how he squeezed it, it felt like hard steel. It was impossible to replicate it with human wrist strength…

He was pretty sure this wasn’t some magic trick or something, because the balls had only been used recently.

“W-what’s going on?”

Song Yutang’s father pushed his glasses that had slipped off his nose and was shocked. He was an associate professor of science at the university, and at this moment he really felt like his worldview had collapsed.

“Is it possible… that kung fu really exists in this world?”

“That’s right! Master is a legendary martial arts master, and I’m learning Kung Fu from him.”

As for Song Yutang’s mother, after being surprised, she was simply happy for her daughter.

“I didn’t expect… Master, you are so powerful at such a young age.”

The middle-aged woman spoke to Cen Dongsheng apologetically and even changed her name.

“I’m sorry, I thought the reason ‘apprenticeship’ was made up by this kid…”

“If you want to make it up, you better make it up properly. How can anyone joke about something like becoming someone’s disciple? Besides, whether I have a romantic relationship or not is none of your business.”

Song Yutang complained.

“Now you understand, don’t you? Don’t worry about my private life anymore.”

……

After lunch, Cen Dongsheng prepared to leave, and Song Yutang followed him to the door to see him off.

Seeing Yutang’s father still looking at the ball over and over again, it seemed that the two of them had not fully recovered from the shock.

He smiled and whispered to his apprentice:

“After you become a spell-forbidden master, you can try to use your true energy to enhance your athletic ability and show your skills in front of your parents. This will put their minds at ease.”

“Yeah, I understand.”

“This kind of practice is also good for you to master your own spells and develop new abilities. Practice on your own in your spare time. If there is anything you don’t understand, ask for help in time.”

Song Yutang listened carefully and nodded vigorously.

“And, Yutang…”

“I’m here.”

“Are you still planning on going back to the dorm?”

The girl was stunned for a moment and replied.

“Probably… But I heard that the dormitory is being renovated these days, so we might move to another building.”

“The same is true for the group of girls who used facial masks and interacted with Li Huishan, right?”

“Yes.”

At this point, Song Yutang had already reacted and spoke tentatively.

“Master, do you want me to continue to follow this clue and conduct a deeper investigation?”

“Yes, you have some ability to protect yourself now, so you can try to find out.”

When Cen Dongsheng said this, he discovered another benefit of having an apprentice, which was that he could be a hands-off boss in certain trivial matters.

“However, as I said before, this matter may be related to a dangerous sorcerer, so you must be self-aware and know the limits of your investigation. Call me when you think you can.”

Song Yutang agreed with a tense face.

*
An outstanding and excellent spell-binding master needs not only ability, but also wisdom and character. Cen Dongsheng has always adhered to this concept.

Of course, the prerequisite is “below special grade” – because anything above this cannot be described with words like “outstanding”.

In short, in order to make his future teammates and assistants become the ideal image, Cen Dongsheng arranged various contents that were not within the scope of cultivation for his disciples.

The result was unexpectedly good.

Cen Dongsheng then recalled that the reason Song Yutang became the association’s face was not just because of her face.

It is said that the number and quality of her completed commissions always ranked her among the top in the “Hundred Honor List” (which does not include special-class curse masters), a comprehensive evaluation of elite curse masters. For a period of time, she was even ranked consistently in the top three.

The most important thing is that she is used to fighting alone. From this, it can be seen that Song Yutang is definitely not a person who only relies on the life ban of heaven to show off her ability.

“Master, I have found a provider for the mask.”

When Song Yutang called, it was the day after Cen Dongsheng left her home. Considering the speed of action of a female college student, it can be said that she was very fast.

“Where are you?”

“I’m right where he works.”

The apprentice said.

“The Third Municipal Hospital, the address is No. xxx, Zhiyuan Road…”

“You found it by yourself? That’s pretty impressive.”

Hearing Cen Dongsheng’s praise, the girl on the other side of the radio became very excited.

“Then, Master, when will you …”

“Are you confident that you can handle it by yourself?”

“Eh? Alone? I…”

Perhaps because he had just been praised, Song Yutang hesitated for a moment, but finally responded honestly:

“I don’t think so.”

“very good.”

Cen Dongsheng was actually quite satisfied with this answer. As he said, the best quality of a spell master is “self-knowledge”.

“I am coming over now.”
