I Can Copy Curses

Orion had many plans for his lightning element to make it more effective in battles.

At the moment, he only used it either as an armor to cover his body or to make a sword condensed out of it. But after he saw the lightning wolves move like flashes of light using lightning, it felt like a whole new world had started to open in front of him.

Now, Orion wanted to use his lightning to do the same.

He realized he couldn't use teleportation all the time when he was in front of so many people. That would surely make them think he had too many abilities, which would bring trouble to him one way or another.

He had an idea about what excuse he would make if people asked about his elemental abilities. He would just tell them what he had told Sword Sage that day—his talent was called Energy Condensation, and with his talent, he could condense any element that ever existed. That would also explain his monstrous combat strength.

He made this decision after he came out of that cursed place a while ago.

He realized he had become too famous for his own good, and if he was shown to have too many abilities, he would surely be suspected.

And hence his decision.

But curses like Berserk Body and those that powered him from the inside were better than the ones like teleportation and other things like that. At least he could use them without anyone finding out.

Therefore, at the moment, he had the curse of Berserk Body to give him super strength, which he could use without anyone finding out, and what he needed after super strength was super speed.

And hence his desire to learn about how to use lightning like the lightning wolves in the dungeon and move like a flash of light.

That way, even if he couldn't use teleportation in front of people, he would at least have something to move around in battle.

"Let's do this."

Orion took a deep breath and concentrated.

He recalled how those lightning wolves used lightning to move around and tried to imitate them.

He focused on his legs, and lightning began to crackle around them.

"Now what? Should I just take a step?"

He thought and then took a step...but nothing happened.

"It didn't work..."

Orion pondered the reason behind the failure and once again imagined the wolves' movement, their feet, the lightning flowing through their feet.

"Ah, so that's how it is..."

He understood something and immediately changed his methods.

He made the lightning gather around the soles of his feet and increased its concentration.

"Let's see how it does this time."

Orion took a step and like a bolt of lightning, he was propelled forward with unimaginable speed.

"It worked!"

He exclaimed in surprise.

He tried again, and once again, his body was propelled forward.

"I now need to control my momentum and my speed."

With enough motivation, he began training like a madman.

For the first few days, he only trained in lightning, but after he became somewhat stable in his movements, he began to focus on other curses.

He trained some bits in fire elements, ice elements, and even experimented with darkness elements, all while he stayed in the hotel.

Just like that, his days began to pass.

He would have breakfast with his family and friends in the morning before a quick spar with his sister for some hours, then head to his own training chamber to train his various abilities.

Sometimes, he would spend time with his family and explore Heaven City.

As Orion was busy training, time passed slowly, and the day of the impending Stellar Tournament drew closer.

The planet that Heaven City was on was a must for people who wanted to go to Emperor Heaven Place, so Heaven City became a center of attention for all those who were planning to go there.

This city was unique in many ways and attracted a lot of attention, so it didn't take long for the city to become heavily crowded with people.

Many people began to rent hotels and roamed the streets of the city—even at night, many people could be seen roaming around, exploring the night city.

Since Emperor Heaven Place was just a portal away from them in this place, it soon became a resting place and a tourist attraction for all those people who were planning to go to Emperor Heaven Place.

As the days continued to pass, Orion's routine became more entrenched.

The excitement in Heaven City grew palpable as the Stellar Tournament drew closer, and the influx of people from various parts of the universe only added to the city's bustling atmosphere.

The streets were filled with vendors selling exotic goods, street performers showcasing their unique talents, and cultivators from all walks of life preparing for the upcoming event.

Orion, however, remained focused on his training. His mastery of the lightning element had significantly improved, and he could now move with a speed that left afterimages in his wake.

His control over his momentum and speed had also become more refined, allowing him to maneuver with precision during battles.

His training with other elements was also progressing well, adding more versatility to his combat abilities.

One evening, after an intense training session, Orion decided to take a break and explore the city with his friends and family.

The group walked through the vibrant streets, taking in the sights and sounds of Heaven City. They stopped at various stalls, sampling local delicacies and admiring the array of artifacts and treasures on display.

"The city is a lot more crowded lately," Orion commented as he observed the throngs of people bustling through the streets.

Famir, walking beside him, nodded in agreement. "The Stellar Prodigy Tournament starts in three days. All these people are here to witness it. But I think many of them are also here for the emperor's birthday celebrations. It's a significant event, and the combination of both has drawn this massive crowd."

Orion nodded lightly. "I've heard bits and pieces about the preparations. It's going to be quite an event."

As they continued to walk through the crowded streets, they passed by various stalls and shops adorned with festive decorations.

The city's atmosphere was electric, a blend of excitement and anticipation. Street performers entertained passersby, and merchants loudly touted their wares, hoping to catch the attention of the numerous visitors.

Emily, who had been walking slightly ahead, turned back to the group with a grin. "I heard there's going to be a grand parade for the emperor's birthday. They're even saying some of the top experts will be participating in the festivities."

Ron chimed in, "And I've heard rumors about a grand banquet where rare and exotic dishes will be served. It's supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience."

Orion chuckled. "That would be even more exciting."

After buying some clothes for Ella, the group returned to their residence.

Since they would be representing the Darkwood Family—one of the seven magi families—they would have to go to Emperor Heaven Palace a few days prior.

And that would be tomorrow. Orion, his family, and his friends would leave for the Emperor Heaven Palace the next day.
