MTS: Marvel and Beyond

Chapter 183: Chapter 183: RCT Lv6

The others stood dumbfounded, staring at the dissipating hundred-meter-tall lightning manifestation in the distance. As they took in the surreal scene before them, they couldn't help but wonder:

Is this a dream?

Are the things around them real or merely illusions?

If it were an illusion, it was far too vivid.

And if it were real, how could such a powerful being exist in this world?

Once the lightning manifestation vanished, the two Taoists finally dared to run toward Zhang Lingyu's position to check on his condition.

To their astonishment, they found that despite being bombarded by the lightning, Zhang Lingyu was completely unharmed. Not a single scratch marred his body, and even his clothing remained intact—though he had fallen unconscious. Relieved, they sighed in unison.

But soon after, they realized it must have been Alex's mysterious powers that had spared Zhang Lingyu's life.

The larger Taoist immediately bowed to Alex and said, "Thank you, Senior, for showing mercy!"

Alex casually cleaned his ear and replied, "Well, since he's a descendant of Zhang Daoling's teachings, of course, I held back.

But don't celebrate just yet. During my attack, I amplified this brat's pain perception tenfold. Even though it's just ten times the normal level, it was enough to make him suffer beyond imagination.

Every time his body was destroyed by the lightning, I repaired it and restarted the process—over and over until now.

If he can awaken from this haze of agony and confusion, his cultivation and strength will grow tremendously.

But if he succumbs to the pain and loses himself, he'll end up like a vegetable, unable to wake ever again!"

"W-what...?" The large Taoist's face turned pale. He hadn't expected things to be far from over. He glanced at Alex, intending to plead for his help in waking Zhang Lingyu. After all, with Alex's strength, he could surely do it.

But the Taoist hesitated, knowing full well that someone like Alex, whose will was resolute, could not be swayed by others' pleas. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

If Alex had decided to let Zhang Lingyu awaken on his own, no amount of begging would change that.

Sighing heavily, the Taoist resolved to take Zhang Lingyu back to the Sect and let the Grandmaster decide his fate.

Deep down, he still hoped that Zhang Lingyu would awaken from this trial, stronger and wiser than before.

By this point, after witnessing Alex's sheer power and extraordinary methods, the people present had started to believe that he might indeed be the Sect's founder.

The large Taoist hesitated for a moment before bowing again and asking, "Senior, may I ask which generation of Sect's ancestors you belong to?"

Alex frowned slightly, growing impatient. "Haven't I already told you?"

"I am Zhang Daoling's senior uncle!"

The Taoist pressed further,

"Then, what is your Daoist title, Senior? Once I return to the Sect, I will report your title to the current Grandmaster. If you truly are Zhang Daoling's senior uncle, the ancient records will surely mention you. Once we verify the records, we will return to escort you back to the Sect with the utmost respect!"

Even after seeing Alex display overwhelming power, the Taoist's skepticism remained evident. But Alex didn't mind; after all, he wasn't truly the founder of the sect.

As for a Daoist title, Alex smirked mysteriously and said, "You can call me The Great Love Immortal Venerable!"

Of course, the Sect's ancient records held no mention of such a title. If the Taoist reported this back to the sect, Alex's ruse would undoubtedly be exposed.

But Alex didn't care.

In his eyes, time around the others slowed dramatically, eventually coming to a complete halt.

Before him appeared an intangible, radiant river, flowing endlessly. Alex followed its current upstream, taking just a few steps before coming to a halt.

When he reappeared, he was inside a quiet Daoist temple.

In front of him sat a white-haired old Daoist, exuding an ethereal aura. The old man's eyes were filled with astonishment as he gazed at Alex.

Trembling, Zhang Daoling whispered,

"Are... are you an immortal, Sir?"

Alex neither affirmed nor denied Zhang Daoling's question. Instead, he calmly declared, "From today onward, I am your senior uncle. My Daoist title is The Great Love Immortal Venerable. Make sure my name is recorded in the history of the Sect."

As soon as he finished speaking, Alex's figure disappeared before Zhang Daoling, leaving behind a glowing golden energy orb that merged into Zhang Daoling's body.

This energy orb had a single purpose: when Zhang Daoling faced death, it would project his soul into a random world for reincarnation. If an author within the vast sea of worlds picked up the story of Zhang Daoling's transmigration, it might just make for another excellent novel!

After giving Zhang Daoling his reward and delivering his declaration, Alex returned to the modern era.

Time around him remained frozen. With a slight thought, Alex allowed it to resume its flow.

"The Great Love Immortal Venerable?" muttered the large Taoist as time resumed. For some reason, the name carried an immense sense of karmic weight.

Strangely, despite the Daoist title containing the word love, he could also sense a faint scent of blood and carnage, as though it were born amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Suppressing his unease, the large Taoist clasped his hands respectfully and said, "Senior, I have remembered your title. If all goes well, it won't be long before we can confirm your identity. Please wait for us."

Seeing Alex nod, the two Taoists quickly hoisted Zhang Lingyu and left without looking back.

Meanwhile, Alex sensed numerous other extraordinary individuals gathering toward his location. But he didn't bother with what he deemed as insignificant ants. With a single step, he vanished from the spot.

"A little posturing can be entertaining, but too much can be harmful. Today's dose was just right."

As Alex departed, the tension finally dissipated. The two girls and Zhang Chulan felt themselves relax completely.

The younger girl, still trembling from the experience, whimpered,

"That was terrifying! When I saw the manifestation of that lightning giant, I thought I was going to die in the aftermath."

The elder girl gently stroked her head, soothing her fears.

Meanwhile, Zhang Chulan, still shaken, couldn't help but wonder:

"Why did Senior Alex create a manifestation resembling a Buddha? Isn't he supposed to be a Sect ancestor?"

Moments later, other extraordinary beings arrived at the scene, only to find traces of residual, terrifying lightning energy left behind.

From this day onward, Alex's use of the hundred-meter-tall lightning manifestation became known to the entire extraordinary world.

Initially, despite the intelligence gathered by various factions through organizations like Express Delivery, they hadn't taken Alex seriously. To them, he was just an arrogant individual falsely claiming to be an ancestor of the Taoist Hall—a powerful extraordinary person, but nothing beyond that.

After all, even strong extraordinary individuals were still vulnerable to being overwhelmed by numbers unless they reached the level of the master of Taoist Hall, who was considered invincible.

But after witnessing Alex's ability to summon a manifestation of such scale and power, everyone realized how foolish their assumptions had been.

A being of Alex's caliber was likely on par with, if not surpassing, the Old Tianshi. Such strength was not something that could be countered with numbers. In fact, many began to suspect that even the Old Tianshi himself might not be able to defeat Alex.

The title The Great Love Immortal Venerable—arrogant and audacious as it was—spread like wildfire across the world of outcasts.

---

While countless factions scrambled to gather information on Alex's true identity, he remained indifferent.

Unbothered by the growing storm, Alex quietly continued honing his skills in the comfort of a luxurious five-star hotel.

During the time Alex was focused on training his skills, Zhang Chulan was busy stirring up trouble elsewhere.

He was invited to the Tengekai Headquarters as a guest, where Feng Zhenghao attempted to use a "honey trap" against him, sending Feng Shayan to seduce Zhang Chulan.

However, because Feng Shayan wasn't sincere in her approach, a restriction left by Zhang Huaiyi on Zhang Chulan's dick triggered a punishment, snapping him out of his lustful thoughts and leading him to reject Feng Shayan's advances.

Later, Feng Baobao stormed into the headquarters, defeating numerous Tengekai members before engaging in battle with Jia Zhengyu.

After defeating Jia Zhengyu, she was ambushed by him in a surprise attack and gravely injured. However, thanks to Feng Baobao's unique constitution, she was ultimately unharmed.

Meanwhile, the Quan Xing was also on the move. They extracted memories from Zhang Huayi's corpse, uncovering that the person who killed him was none other than Feng Baobao. They also discovered the secret that her appearance hadn't changed in over a decade.

---

However, none of this concerned Alex, who remained focused on refining his abilities. After nearly a month of relentless training, yet another skill of his leveled up!

[RCT EXP +1]

[RCT EXP +1]

[RCT EXP +1]

...

[Congratulations! Your skill RCT has leveled up!]

Reverse Cursed Technique Lv6 (12/50000): Converts the negative energy of cursed energy into positive energy with powerful healing effects. It can reverse things to their optimal state, usable on both living and non-living entities. Through continuous over-limit reinforcement, it now has the ability to repair intangible and abstract laws of the world!

The Reversal Technique was Alex's most crucial healing ability, granting him powers such as reversing physical aging, achieving immortality, resurrecting the dead, and enhancing objects.

Now, at Lv6, the skill underwent another evolution. It had reached the level where it could repair the intangible, ethereal rules of existence itself.

As streams of knowledge flooded Alex's mind, he absorbed it all and immediately noticed something peculiar about this world.

He realized that the fabric of this world was incomplete.

Following an instinctive urge, Alex consumed a massive amount of energy to slightly alter the rules of this reality.

The next moment, the unique energy of this world, known as Qi, began to visibly increase in the air.

By expending half of this world's total energy reserves, Alex permanently increased the world's Qi reserves by 10%.

This increase wasn't temporary—it was a permanent enhancement of the world's Qi, allowing it to replenish naturally over time.

This meant the world of Outcast had permanently ascended to a higher plane of existence!

Alex was shocked as he perceived the results of his actions, fully grasping the terrifying potential of the newly upgraded RCT.

This meant that as long as his power and energy reserves were sufficient, Alex could elevate any world to the level of a multiversal cosmos—or even to an omniversal existence!

Upon discovering the changes caused by his RCT, Alex immediately channeled the majority of his internal energy into his dimensional universe. To his astonishment, the total energy output generated by the dimensional universe within a single time cycle visibly increased by 20%.

This meant his energy collection rate had also risen by 20%!

Overjoyed, Alex repeated this process over and over again.

By the time the energy output of his dimensional universe had expanded to ten times its original level, Alex stopped. At this point, further energy infusion no longer yielded any increase in energy production per time cycle.

Though slightly disappointed, Alex understood that the Lv6 RCT had its limitations.

However, he also knew that as the skill continued to level up, its ceiling would infinitely expand—eventually reaching a state of true limitlessness.

After enhancing the dimensional universe's energy output tenfold, Alex gazed up at the sky with a cryptic smile: "As expected, this world still lacks enough fun..."

Alex continued supplying massive amounts of energy to fuse with the world's heavenly rules, gradually repairing the fabric of existence.

After several days, the heavenly laws became more complete, leading to a widespread revival of spiritual energy across the world. The total amount of Qi increased tenfold!

---

The changes in the world did not go unnoticed by the outcasts who inhabited it.

The stronger their powers, and the more sensitive they were to Qi, the earlier they detected the shift.

At the top of a mountain within the Taoist Mansion, the Old Master stood on a cliff, unmoving amidst the fierce winds, calmly overlooking the world below.

From the moment the world began to transform, he had sensed the changes.

His cultivation, which had already reached its peak and had been stagnant for years, now surged forward like a rocket. His century-old foundation, built on immense depth and accumulation, was now free from any constraints.

At this moment, his power had increased by at least several times compared to before the world's transformation!

After noticing the dramatic transformation of the world, Zhang Zhiwei recalled the young man who had appeared recently, claiming to be their sect's ancestor.

Like everyone else, he had initially dismissed Alex as an arrogant fraud. Zhang Zhiwei had even considered taking the time to teach him a lesson, delivering a slap to remind him that there's always a higher sky.

But as events unfolded, he realized things were not so simple.

What shocked him most was when the others brought back Alex's title: The Great Love Immortal Sovereign. Digging into the ancient records of the Mansion, Zhang Zhiwei was dumbfounded to discover that this over-the-top title was actually mentioned in their archives.

The realization left even the Old Master questioning his worldview.

Could it be... that immortals truly exist in this world?

Now, with the dramatic changes in heaven and earth—the total Qi having increased tenfold in mere days—and all of it coinciding with Alex's arrival, Zhang Zhiwei was more convinced than ever. Alex might very well be the legendary ancestor of the Taoist Master Hall.

A single coincidence might be mere chance, but when so many coincidences overlap, even the most unbelievable truths become undeniable.

---

The Old Master was not the only one to notice the change. Other powerful outcasts also sensed it, recognizing that a grand era was unfolding before their eyes.

The first major event of this new era would be the Raten Taisho, hosted by the Taoist Hall, a tournament meant to decide the successor of the Hall Master.

---

Meanwhile, other stories continued to unfold.

Lu Liang handed Zhang Chulan the final moments of his grandfather's life, causing Zhang Chulan to misunderstand Feng Baobao. However, after receiving the truth from Xu San and his father, Xu Xiang, Zhang Chulan decided to accept the Sect's invitation to participate in the tournament. He aimed to use this opportunity to question the old master about the secrets behind the Koshin War.

The Raten Taisho Tournament wasn't just attracting Zhang Chulan; all the major forces in the outcast world were sending their young elites to observe or participate.

It was a rare event, the world of outcasts hadn't seen such excitement in years.

The tournament was an event not to be missed.

And Alex, having concluded his practice, left the five-star hotel with a smile. He, too, was heading to the tournament.
