The King of Curses
Chapter 76 - 76 33 Preliminary Preparations

76: Chapter 33: Preliminary Preparations 76: Chapter 33: Preliminary Preparations What level was Cen Dongsheng at now?

After all, he was an experienced Reincarnator; though he had never eaten pork, he had seen pigs run.

Therefore, unlike the mainstream Curse Forbidden Masters of today who felt confused about the future destiny, he had a deep understanding of his own strength and a clear plan for “how to become stronger.”

According to the mainstream evaluation standard based on the volume of True Qi, he was now slightly stronger than a typical Class B Curse Forbidden Master, but his strength was limited…

Don’t get me wrong, the “Tiger Demon Cloak” naturally had a level comparable to or even surpassing that of a typical Class A Curse Forbidden Master.

But, in the strictest sense, only those who reached the “Entry” level—those who mastered the Triple superpower—could count as Class A Curse Forbidden Masters; before that, they could only be considered reserves.

So, using the “Class B” level as an example, there were actually two situations: one was the Forbidden Master who fully mastered the Class B Curses, and the other was the Forbidden Master who could not completely grasp the Class A Curses.

As for who was stronger, that was difficult to say.

Generally, the latter was considered to have a greater chance of winning, but there was no overwhelming advantage.

This was the standard measure for each level.

But there was an exception to this rule—

That was the life prohibition.

“Some people must work hard to achieve a breakthrough, while others do not need to put in any effort at all…”

He sighed slightly.

It was impossible not to envy.

Those with life prohibition abilities were naturally above others in the Curse Forbidden Master community, unlocking the full version upon awakening.

Take Sister Zhi Zhen, for example.

She was born with Special Grade Life Prohibition and, in fact, was already genuinely a “Special Grade Curse Forbidden Master.”

Compared to her future self, who became the “Ancestor,” now An Zhizhen only differed in terms of True Qi volume and proficiency—a disparity that could be vast depending on the person.

But she could fully wield the terrifying power of the “Heavenly Leader” to manipulate minds without needing to increase her “Grade” to unlock superpowers.

So-called life prohibition was said to be a special form of Curse Prohibition, but it was more akin to an innate talent.

Therefore, it did not require step-by-step cultivation; rather, it naturally came with use and slowly became mastered by its owner.

Actually, it was the same for Cen Dongsheng.

His Reincarnation Life Prohibition activated the instant he realized it, driven by instinct.

Before that, he had no opportunity to train or practice it.

Besides, within the ordinary classification of “A B C D,” life prohibitions were superior to Curse Prohibitions in terms of hard strength.

For instance, among Class A Curse Forbidden Masters, those with life prohibitions were stronger than regular Curse Forbidden Masters—

But once it escalated to Special Class, the situation changed.

Cursing Prohibitions rated as “Special Class” all transcended historical and real-world boundaries, comprising forbidden powers that could disturb all-natural rules and destinies.

Since everyone boasted these unreasonable, exaggerated powers, who won or lost could only be determined by confrontation.

Therefore, Cen Dongsheng, who possessed a seed of Special Grade Cursing Prohibition, was indeed qualified to resist the control of the “Heavenly Leader”; if it were the full version, he might even confront it head-on.

The premise was that Sister Zhi Zhen was still just a “Special Grade Curse Forbidden Master” at that time…

“Sister Zhi Zhen said she hoped my dream was to ‘become the strongest in the world,’ but looking at the foreseeable future, the biggest obstacle on this path, in truth, was her.”

Cen Dongsheng thought to himself.

To ascend to the pinnacle of the world, to become the supreme figure.

So-called “Ancestor” referred to someone who mastered multiple Special Grade Cursing Prohibitions, who broke the unreasonable bonds of the Heavenly Dao through these irrational powers, to entirely abandon “destiny,” “birth horoscope,” and from then on become an unreasonably strong person—

That concept was too transcendent and divine, incredibly distant for Cen Dongsheng.

“Better not to think about these things beyond reach and focus on the present.”

Overall, he wanted to continue getting stronger, and there were clearly two paths before him:

Quickly mastering the second and even third superpower of the Power of the Tiger Demon, reaching the Entry stage to become a true Class A Curse Forbidden Master.

This required him to challenge stronger ghosts;

The other was to gather the Three Demons Power to obtain the complete Special Grade Cursing Prohibition…

This depended even more on luck.

After all, the senior whose opportunity he stole was certainly ambitious too, but until his reincarnation, that person had not succeeded.

Cen Dongsheng roughly knew what “demon” was, but it was precisely because of this knowledge that he felt troubled.

“Ghost” was a general term; the supernatural threats Curse Forbidden Masters faced were never just “ghosts” formed from human deaths but also “monsters,” which were “strange, odd things”—

Some oddities were born without any connection to humanity, naturally coming into being.

“Demon” was a kind of “monster,” but this concept was similarly vague.

Some demons were humans who, as Curse Forbidden Masters, fell into ruin; others were imaginary beings created by people’s imagination, born from worship, belief, and even fear; sometimes, they were closer to rural folk gods.

These things were hard to find, requiring support from large organizational intelligence to be discovered.

Luckily, he had someone reliable he could depend on.

…

After leaving the neighborhood, Cen Dongsheng received a call from Sister Zhi Zhen.

He answered immediately.

“Hello, Dongsheng, how are you?

Did I disturb you?”

“Hmm, the commission is just resolved.

It was a small fry.”

“It’s not about strength, haha.

Such a trivial ghost, given Dongsheng’s power, you could certainly handle it easily.

But weren’t you commissioned by a young girl?

I even found her photo…”
