Chapter 4 - Malediction Physique

Han Xiao's attention was drawn to the red interface before him as a soft chiming sound echoed in the air. With a sense of anticipation, he watched as a series of information flashed across the screen:

[Compatibility Test Completed!]

With bated breath, he awaited the results, his heart racing with anticipation for the outcome of the compatibility test. What destiny awaited him, and how would it shape his future journey?

As the startling revelation flashed before him, Han Xiao's eyes widened in disbelief. [1000% Compatible With Forbidden Cultivation Technique!] The words seemed almost surreal, defying all logic and expectation.

"What the... freak?!" he exclaimed, his voice tinged with shock and incredulity. "Not 100%, but 1000%? Is this some kind of glitch?"

Amid his bewilderment, another notification sounded:

[+1 Curse Point]

[Total Curse Points: 23!]

The irony of his situation was not lost on him as he gained another curse point, his frustration mounting with each unexpected twist of fate. With a mixture of astonishment and skepticism, Han Xiao grappled with the implications of his astonishing compatibility with the forbidden cultivation technique, pondering the mysteries that lay ahead on his journey.

As the interface responded with further clarification, Han Xiao's astonishment only deepened.

[Of Course It's 1000%] [And Stop Interrupting!]

[Your New Body Has 250% Compatibility With Curse Technique And The Remaining Percent For Your Soul.]

Han Xiao couldn't help but marvel at the unexpected revelation. "Hah, so my soul somehow gets the whopping 750%! That's insane," he mused, his mind racing with possibilities and implications.

But the surprises didn't end there. Another message appeared:

[Your Current Body Has The Very Rare 'Malediction Physique']

The revelation left Han Xiao speechless, his mind reeling with the implications of his newfound inheritance. With a mixture of excitement and trepidation, he prepared to explore the depths of his unique physique, knowing that it held the key to unlocking untold power and potential in the days to come.

"Malediction Physique?"

[It's a very rare physique. There is a one in a trillion years chance for someone to be born with this physique. So,...]

Han Xiao's mind raced with incredulity as he processed the astonishing revelation. "One in a trillion years chance?" he echoed, his voice tinged with awe and disbelief. The magnitude of his newfound inheritance left him speechless, his thoughts consumed by the weight of its rarity and significance.

With a sense of reverence, he awaited the continuation of the message, bracing himself for whatever destiny awaited him as the bearer of such a singular and extraordinary gift.

Unable to wait he asked again, "Once in a trillion years. Then it must be something good, right? But, why is Han Xiao too weak and has zero affinity for cultivation."

The interface responded, shedding light on the enigma of his current state:

[As he neglected the cultivation of the Curse Technique, Han Xiao's previous body remained feeble and devoid of affinity for cultivation.]

[Malediction Physique, as its name suggests, defies the natural order of any realm, marking it as an anomaly by their standards. Consequently, all the acupuncture points along his 14 Meridian channels were obstructed from the moment of his birth.]"

"That makes more sense now," Xiao Hao muttered, his thoughts finally coalescing into clarity. "And he chanced upon the Severing Sword Technique, fortunate enough to break open an acupuncture point in his head. Through sheer determination, he managed to ascend three ranks within the Pulse Condensation Realm, albeit barely." 

"Alright, since I'm compatible, where is my cultivation technique?" Han Xiao inquired eagerly, his anticipation mounting as he awaited the response from the interface.

With another dinging sound, Han Xiao's anticipation peaked as a rustic, nearly worn-out black book materialized within the red interface. Crafted from the weathered skin of some unknown animal, it exuded an aura of ancient wisdom and mysterious power. 

Xiao Han's frown deepened, his lips curling into a grimace as he read the strange text emblazoned upon the cover, "Forbidden Curse Book!"

With a mixture of curiosity and apprehension, he reached out and opened the book. Inside, he found only two pages, each bearing a weighty significance. The first page was titled "Body Cultivation Technique," and beneath it lay three enigmatic techniques, each shrouded in mystery and potential.

[The text on the first page of the Forbidden Curse Book revealed three profound Body Cultivation Techniques:

 Devouring Curse Body Breathing Techniques: "Everything that contains essence energy and qi is my food."

 Asura Curse Body Sutra: "Can be learned after Devouring Curse Body reaches the Ultimatum level."

Divine Devouring Scroll: "Who says Gods and Immortals are supreme? Because they are just food. This can be learned after the Asura Curse Body reaches its peak state."]

Each technique promised untold power and mastery over the body, yet their ominous descriptions hinted at a darker path fraught with peril and temptation. With a mixture of excitement and trepidation, Han Xiao contemplated the profound implications of these ancient teachings, knowing that his choice would shape his destiny in ways he could scarcely imagine.

"So far, so good! Then let's see what's on the other page!" Han Xiao exclaimed eagerly as he flipped to the next page of the Forbidden Curse Book. Beneath the title, he found the same strange texts, yet somehow, he could comprehend them without difficulty:

[Heretic Sword Immortal Technique! Turn the qi in the surroundings into sword essence. Complement to body technique. The first step to cultivating Pulsing Condensation Stage requires unlocking 25 acupoints out of the 351 in 14 Meridian Channels of the Body. Practicing the Devouring Curse Body Techniques will unlock those blocked channels, allowing you to practice afterward!]

Excitement surged within Han Xiao as he absorbed the profound wisdom contained within these cryptic words. The prospect of mastering the Heretic Sword Immortal Technique filled him with determination and anticipation, knowing that it would pave the way for his ascent to greater heights of power and mastery. With renewed resolve, he prepared to embark on the arduous journey of cultivation, ready to unlock the secrets of the ancient arts and forge his destiny anew.
