Chapter 127: Chapter 103: Gang Zan Seal Formed! ’I Do Alchemy Too

Gwendolyn was taken aback.

"Young man, confidence is a good thing, but it’s pointless to tell lies just to save face. When you look back on it in your old age, you might even feel ashamed."

"You don’t seem like the type to spout nonsense. Are you new to this training? Perhaps you’re mistaken about something?" Gwendolyn said.

Fang Zhen shook his head slightly.

"Master, thank you for giving me an out, but I really have completed the basic training."

"What’s the next step? How can I release the Gang Zan Seal?"

Gwendolyn’s brow furrowed, his expression still full of disbelief.

"You say you’ve completed the basic training?" Gwendolyn walked over and held out his right hand. "Then hold out your right hand, palm to my palm."

Fang Zhen wasn’t sure what Gwendolyn was planning, but he figured it was probably a test. He raised his right hand and placed it against Gwendolyn’s palm.

"With your mind, guide any one of the three spheres of light. Let its power travel to your hand with the pulse, then imagine that power transforming into a sharp sword and stabbing toward me," Gwendolyn instructed.

Fang Zhen nodded.

The three spheres of light he could see in his mind all shared the same pulsation, like a heartbeat.

He followed the flow of this power, imagining it traveling to his right hand and then stabbing toward Gwendolyn.

The instant the thought formed, Fang Zhen felt an extraordinary power erupt from his right hand. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Gwendolyn cried out in alarm.

In that instant, a brilliant white light flared up where Gwendolyn’s and Fang Zhen’s right palms met.

Fang Zhen felt as if an electric current and a magnetic field had hit him at the same time. His right hand went numb, and a powerful force field violently shoved him backward.

He took half a step back, but Gwendolyn stumbled back three or four steps.

When Gwendolyn steadied himself, his eyes were filled with utter shock. He stared at Fang Zhen as if he were looking at a monster.

"You... have you really never studied Curse Seals before?" Gwendolyn asked.

"Never. I can guarantee that," Fang Zhen replied.

A complex mix of emotions played across Gwendolyn’s face.

There was shock in his eyes, a hint of pleasant surprise in his expression, and a look of self-doubt.

"Let me just... calm down for a second..." Gwendolyn said.

Gwendolyn lowered his head, seemingly struggling to accept the reality before him.

Seeing this, Fang Zhen just shook his head and smiled.

Gwendolyn looked as if he’d taken a serious blow.

In truth, if he had a choice, Fang Zhen wouldn’t have wanted to wound Gwendolyn’s pride like this.

Putting himself in Gwendolyn’s shoes, he could understand. In the field he had taken the most pride in his entire life, he had just encountered someone who seemed like a genius—a person who, in less than ten minutes, had accomplished what had taken the master several years. Anyone would be a little shaken.

It was almost enough to make one despair.

But there was nothing to be done about it. Fang Zhen only had a few days in this instance, so he didn’t have time to hide his talents; he had to learn as fast as he possibly could.

Gwendolyn seemed like a decent person, and seeing the master doubt himself so much made Fang Zhen feel a bit bad.

He cleared his throat and asked, "Master, are you all right?"

"I’m fine, haha. It just feels like I’ve wasted a good part of my life. Maybe I just didn’t work hard enough," Gwendolyn said. "Fang Zhen, of all the people I’ve met in my entire life, you have the greatest talent for being a Curse Sealer."

Hearing this, Fang Zhen felt a little ashamed. ’It’s as if I’ve been cheating,’ he thought.

’But on second thought, that’s not right. Source Power is my own ability. I used my own ability to learn Seal Power, so what’s there to be ashamed of?’

Just like that, his mood brightened.

Gwendolyn truly had excellent self-control. He might have felt some negativity, but he had already resolved or processed it in a short amount of time.

Gwendolyn sighed with emotion. "It’s a wide world out there. Perhaps constitutions like yours, with a natural affinity for the power of a Curse Sealer, truly do exist. That’s not something one can compete with. How many people in the entire world could possibly have your constitution and talent?"

"However, I want to give you a piece of advice," Gwendolyn said. "The world is full of jealousy. Not everyone can accept someone else being so much stronger than them."

"With such incredible talent, it’s best not to reveal it so readily. Otherwise, your friends will grow jealous, and your enemies will do everything in their power to crush you before you’ve fully developed."

Fang Zhen nodded.

Gwendolyn was being very direct.

’In words I’m more familiar with,’ Fang Zhen thought, ’it means keep a low profile. Don’t let people think, "This kid is terrifying; he must not be allowed to live."’

Seeing that Fang Zhen had taken his words to heart, Gwendolyn nodded as well.

"Since you have such a strong talent for being a Curse Sealer, you’ll learn the Curse Seals very quickly," Gwendolyn said.

Gwendolyn pointed to another scroll on the table. "This is the formation diagram for the Gang Zan Seal. Take a close look."

Fang Zhen opened the scroll.

After unrolling it, he was slightly surprised.

Inside, the scroll didn’t contain the hand seal formations he had expected. Instead, it was a structural diagram, like an architectural blueprint or a circuit schematic.

Noticing Fang Zhen’s expression, Gwendolyn stepped forward and explained, "This is the true form of a Curse Seal."

"The hand signs for the Curse Seal are merely the outward manifestation. The true Curse Seal is this diagram."

"Since you’ve already completed the basic Seal Power training, let’s begin the real Curse Seal formation training."

"Within your consciousness, you have three spheres of light. They are the foundation for Curse Sealers of our school. A true Curse Seal is formed in the sea of your consciousness, using the power of these three spheres to construct the structure on this scroll."

"Once you can skillfully construct a stable structure, you then link it to specific hand gestures and incantations. This will allow you to activate the Curse Seal in the shortest possible time and achieve its intended effect."
