Chapter 454 - 454 2 Negative Aptitude and Malignancy_3

454: Chapter 2 Negative Aptitude and Malignancy_3 454: Chapter 2 Negative Aptitude and Malignancy_3 Yan Qi retracted his pen, “Show it to him, Shiyu boy!”

Shiyu Lianyi obediently placed his hand at the end of the lines.

Eight square frames were rapidly filled in black in succession, while the hollow cross on the other side also began to transform.

None of the crosses were blackened; the lines forming the star pattern retracted inward, morphing into a symbol resembling “十” on the paper.

Three consecutive crosses shrank on the curved side, and from Gongsun Ce’s angle…

It looked like the “X” that denotes a mistake.

“This is my Silent Phase talent, +11.”

“Is this supposed to be a positive talent?

It’s the opposite, isn’t it?” Gongsun Ce stammered, dumbfounded.

Yan Qi then drew another line representing the Calamity Phase, and this time what happened matched Gongsun Ce’s expectations: ten frames were rapidly filled, followed by four crosses blackened by ink.

“Then there’s my Calamity Phase talent, -14.”

Shiyu Lianyi lifted his palm, “Let me explain.

The initial square frames indicate the growth potential of Spirit Light in this heart phase, which is the natural talent or developability of an Impermanence Law Enforcer.”

Shiyu Lianyi’s finger moved from the square frames to the crosses.

“And the crosses that follow signify the compatibility of Spirit Light with the path.

The sum of growth potential and compatibility is what we call talent.”

“Only Impermanence Law Enforcers with innate talent reaching 5 or above qualify to light up the compatibility.

Positive compatibility signifies stability, efficiency, and high controllability.

Law Enforcers with positive traits are likely to resist the deep forces of the path with their own will and carve out their own path.”

“And negative compatibility signifies fluctuation, overspeed, low controllability,” Shiyu Lianyi summarized, “Law Enforcers with negative traits are too sensitive in some aspects, making them extremely prone to assimilation by the forces from the depths of the path, turning into an evil spellcaster.

Generally speaking, as soon as one cross lights up, the talent is judged as negative, and one must absolutely not cultivate that heart phase’s Impermanence Skill.”

So you, with -14, still practice Calamity Phase…

no wonder Curse Scale is so powerful…

Yes, that bastard Shiyu Genmi only cares about results; he couldn’t care less about positive or negative talents.

To someone wanting to kill the Void Light Dragon like him, a -14 Mr.

Shiyu would be the perfect experimental subject.

Gongsun Ce massaged his temples, surmising, “So positive talent means you are very talented but XX King is not on the same path as you, a sort of unorthodox ascension.

While negative talent means you are a genius and exactly what XX King is looking for, like the true heir?”

Shiyu Lianyi nodded silently.

Well, no wonder the King of Destiny treats you like his own son.

“Then, an evil Mage is…” Gongsun Ce recalled Mr.

Lan’s words, who had mentioned his conversation with the giant dragon worshippers, “XX King, or the powers of XX King, think highly of you and chat with you for a while, imparting precious knowledge…

and as a result, you can’t withstand His thoughts, get corroded by His power, and then…

scream your head off into madness?”

Mr.

Shiyu continued to nod, adding with a touch of pity, “This is the second type of malign transformation, which is the situation you are in now, Gongsun.

That’s why we try to minimize the information shared with beginners, telling them only what is necessary.

Because the less powerful you are, the more you know, the easier it is to establish a connection with Them; the closer your guesses are to reality, the more likely you are to enter Their sights.”

What he didn’t say out loud was that ordinary evil Mages are at most eroded by the powers within the path, simply going mad upon seeing the giant dragon itself.

That you’ve come in contact with an ancient being still full of unknowns and haven’t turned into a monster is practically a miracle…

“…”

Gongsun Ce’s teeth chattered nonstop, a terrifying feeling from deep within his heart seized him, causing his whole body to tremble uncontrollably.

Are these statements true, or are they all just his hallucinations?

Could he be dreaming?

This isn’t right, there’s no reason for it, malignant transformation, malignant transformation…

The frenzied mannerisms of the giant dragon worshippers surfaced in his mind; he couldn’t help but imagine what he might become if he too transformed into a monster-like creature…

How terrifying, no, I don’t want this, I don’t want it, I don’t want any of this…

The emotion took control of his body, causing Gongsun Ce to start screaming, “Aaaaah—”

Slap!

Yan Qi stepped forward and gave him another slap.

Gongsun Ce held his face in shock for a moment: “I’m done for, I might really go crazy at any moment.”

“Do you know what to do if you realize you’re sick?” Yan Qi scolded.

Gongsun Ce blurted out reflexively, “Get treatment.”

“Correct, your main task for the next few days is to get treated,” Yan Qi considered as he stroked his chin, and then a smile emerged that left a Superpower User feeling very uneasy.

This wretched master certainly had no good intentions; what was swirling in his mind was inevitably as lousy an idea as when he used his heart to summon the Colored Glaze Dragon in February.

“What are you planning to do?!” Gongsun Ce bluffed, attempting to preemptively assert control.

“Perfect timing, since everything’s coming together…” Yan Qi chuckled devilishly, casually suggesting, “Take this opportunity to achieve Divine Communication.”
