I Can Copy Curses

Chapter 136: 136. Teaching a Lesson - 3

Orion smiled seeing Hubert using his talent and from what he could tell, it appeared to be a strength-based talent.

'It will be good if his curse is also related to strength.'

He licked his lips, wondering if he could get another power-up curse. He had one—Unbridled Fury—but that one didn't increase his physical strength and only helped in increasing his overall strength.

He felt that if he could get a curse that could increase his physical strength, then, with his near-infinite energy, he would almost be invincible.

Just thinking about it made him grin.

Looking at the silly smile on Orion's face, Hubert couldn't control himself anymore and punched.

His fist tore through the air and arrived in front of Orion's chest.

However, the moment his fist was about to hit Orion, it unexpectedly stopped—it stopped just an inch away from Orion's chest.

He couldn't understand how something so powerful and with such high momentum could be stopped in just a second.

'Damn!'

Hubert unleashed all his strength, causing the ground beneath him to crack, but it was all for naught. His fist couldn't close the inch of distance between them.

No matter how hard he tried or how many times he tried, he just couldn't move his fist forward to touch him.

'What the hell is this?'

A flash of hesitation passed through his eyes but that moment of hesitation caused him to lose.

BAM!—

His body got blasted back like a ragged doll before it eventually came to a stop.

The force that was holding him down was the power of repulsion and when he lost his focus due to hesitation, the strength of his fist decreased a little but that was enough for the strength of repulsion to overpower him.

"What happened?"

"How did Hubert get thrown away?"

"What the hell is happening? I didn't even see Young Master make his move."

"Yeah, I also saw that. Young Master is only standing there like an idiot but Hubert still was blasted away."

A sound similar to the movement of a void shuttle reverberated throughout the hall before suddenly another sound was heard just a moment later.

Bam!—

Almost instantly, the latter sound was heard; a body was thrown back at breakneck speed and it didn't stop immediately. It continued to slide through the hall before it slowly came to a stop.

It was Rony.

He had arrived in front of Orion instantly but that speed and momentum of his that he always took pride in became the sole reason for his downfall this time.

It turned out that the moment his fist tore through the air and he arrived in front of Orion with all that momentum, an equal and opposite amount of force was released from Orion's body—the force of repulsion—that took Rony by surprise and as a result, he was blasted away like a rocket.

"Damn, what just happened?"

"I didn't see anything."

"Me too. I only saw a glimpse of Rony's blurred figure approaching the young master but in the next moment, I heard a sound and Rony was blown away."

"Did the young master really only at the iron rank?"

"Yeah, fool, can't you sense the aura he is releasing? It's iron rank."

"But then how can you explain two defeats that happened just now and most importantly, both happened in the same way?"

"That's what I am trying to understand."

The group of servants was shocked. If the first time was a coincidence, then the second was a reality. They now understood that Hubert didn't lose unjustly and it was all the young master's doing.

However, they still didn't understand their young master's talent, causing them to not send another one just to end up with the same result.

On the other hand, Mike was also a little shocked. He had previously believed that with Rony's speed, Orion's little stunt would easily end but the result proved otherwise.

After all, Rony was at the peak of the silver rank while Orion just arrived at the iron rank so Mike's assumption wasn't wrong.

It was almost correct if this challenge was taken part in a few days ago. Before Orion upgraded himself to iron rank, his absolute defense was strong, but it wasn't that strong that it would completely repel the attack of someone who was one rank above him.

Like what had happened with the third guardian back in the soul temple. At that time, even though Orion was completely covered in his absolute defense, the third guardian's attack still worked on him.

But not here. At this moment, Orion was at the iron rank and when he upgraded himself a few days ago, all his curses got a little boost in their strength.

Hence the difference in the result.
