Ghost Catching System

Under the moonlight, the audience in the live streaming room could see the battle scene between the two sides more clearly.

Yeye: ”My... My god, go Master Chu!”

Wang Meng: ”Damn!! It’s so freaking tense; I wish I could be there to watch it live.”

Old Yuan: ”A battle for the ages. This fight is destined to shake the supernatural circle.”

Super Invincible Great Handsome Dong: ”You guys must be shills, right? Are you sure this isn’t a movie?”

Super Invincible Great Handsome Dong rewarded the streamer with 100,000 Live Streaming Coins.

Zhang Qun rewarded the streamer with 100,000 Live Streaming Coins.

Zhang Qun: ”Nothing more to say, it’s too spectacular! Go Master Chu!”

The live stream was completely on fire. The thrilling battle brought in various monetary rewards, totaling over a hundred thousand.

At this point, an administrator from the live streaming platform entered the room. After all, the streamer had received over a million Live Streaming Coins in tips, which shocked the entire platform.

The head of the live streaming platform said excitedly, ”Quick, put this stream on the homepage!”

”Yes, sir!”

Suddenly, innumerable viewers flooded the live stream, with the count reaching over ten thousand.

”Holy crap!! Is this a movie?”

”666! It’s so dark. Does the streamer dare to get a bit closer?”

”Ding! Host’s act of pretentiousness was successful, gaining 70 Pretentiousness Points.”

”Ding! Host’s act of pretentiousness was successful, gaining 70 Pretentiousness Points.”

Swords and sabers collided, sparks flying everywhere. Chu Hao struck down the Ghost Samurai’s warhorse. The warhorse shrieked as the Yin Yang Sword’s power turned it to ash.

”Ding! Host has slain the Ghost Warhorse, gaining 50,000 Experience Points.”

Chu Hao kicked the Ghost Samurai in the chest, sending it flying back ten meters. He then sheathed his Yin Yang Sword and said contemptuously to Ouyang Zhen, ”Old man, is that all you’ve got? If so, this Taoist Master is going to get serious.”

Ouyang Zhen was both shocked and enraged. ”Everyone who has ever looked down on me is dead!”

Chu Hao chortled coldly, ”I wanted to give you a chance to repent, but since you’re courting death, don’t blame this Taoist Master.”

Chu Hao took out the Three-Character Mantra Pen, channeled his Mana Points, and wrote the character for ’Fight’.

”Vajrasattva Dharmakaya Mantra.”

Chu Hao shouted, ”Fight Lion Seal!”

The ’Fight’ character enlarged, transforming into a golden lion. Its sheer size was three to four meters, an absolute behemoth that pounced toward the Ghost Samurai and took a fierce swipe with its paw.

The Ghost Samurai screamed as a claw mark was torn across its chest.

This lion was terrifying. Tearing and biting with its mouth, within a few moments it had shredded the Ghost Samurai and swallowed it whole.

”Ding! Host has killed the Ghost Samurai, gaining 500,000 Experience Points.”

”Ding! Congratulations to the Host for leveling up 8 levels.”

”Ding! Ghost Samurai has dropped a Silver Treasure Box.”

”Ding! Host’s shocking act of pretentiousness was successful, gaining 160 Pretentiousness Points.”

Host: Chu Hao

Apprentice Ghost Hunter Level: 8 (Can advance class after Level 9)

Experience Points: 100,000/1,000,000

Pretentiousness Points: 3,280

Mana Points: 700

Only 900,000 Experience Points left to level up.

Chu Hao was delighted. Licking his lips with anticipation, he looked at Ouyang Zhen and said, ”Old man, is that all you’ve got? That Ghost Samurai wasn’t even enough to pick my teeth with. How about this! I’ll even let you summon your next ghost.”

Ouyang Zhen was infuriated; he had never been so belittled before. Yet, he had to take this enemy seriously, bellowing, ”Who the hell are you?”

Chu Hao planted his sword into the ground. A sense of invincibility, loneliness, and worldly weariness washed over him. ”You ask who I am? Many have asked me that before, but... without exception, they are all dead. Are you sure you want to know?”

”Ding! Host’s profound act of pretentiousness was successful, gaining 80 Pretentiousness Points.”

The live streaming room exploded with a continuous string of 666s... It was about to blow up.

”The host really knows how to show off; his coolness is unwavering.”

”He’s got real skills.”

”Are you sure this isn’t a movie shoot?”

”I must be watching a fake live stream.”

”Host, I want to have your babies! You’re too cool!”

”This guy’s acting isn’t bad; I’ll give him ninety-nine points. Any more and I’d worry he’d get arrogant.”

Ouyang Zhen puffed up his beard and glared, saying, ”Good! Then I shall let you witness my true capabilities!”

Chu Hao looked at him with anticipation. ”My sword is already thirsty for action.”

”Ding! Host’s act of pretentiousness was successful, gaining 80 Pretentiousness Points.”

”666...”

”The host must have played too much League of Legends.”

”The King of Show-offs this year has to be you!”

The live streaming room was flooded with comments. When Chu Hao’s friends sent a message, it was instantly drowned out by the flood of new ones.

Ouyang Zhen grew furious. He took out a dagger, sliced his own wrist, and let the gushing blood drip onto his scepter.

Instantly, the scepter turned pitch-black. A mass of black energy swirled out from it, thick with an intensely baleful aura. The air echoed with ghostly wails and demonic howls, as if millions of spirits were screaming.

”With my blood as the offering, I summon thousands of ghosts! Go!”

The scepter emitted a dark beam, and thousands of ghosts poured out, each one ferocious and terrifying, swarming between heaven and earth.

Ouyang Zhen said coldly, ”This old man collected these ghosts over years of travel. Let’s see how many you can destroy!”

The ghosts swarmed, blanketing the sky like a colossal black cloud layer as they rushed down, a sight that made one’s scalp tingle.

Chu Hao was also startled, but soon he grew excited. This was a big fish!

A dense mass of ghosts rushed at him like a deluge, threatening to drown him.

Li Yin screamed in fright and turned to run.

”Damn it!! You, holding the phone! Can’t you focus on streaming properly?!”

”This is definitely an epic fantasy movie! ’With my blood as an offering, I summon thousands of ghosts!’ When did this film come out? I need to buy tickets!”

”To the person above, this is a live stream, not a movie.”

Chu Hao’s friends, on the other hand, were extremely worried.

Ouyang Zhen sneered. These thousands of ghosts were definitely enough to decimate a city; Chu Hao couldn’t possibly survive.

Amidst the swarm of thousands of ghosts, Chu Hao opened the Ghost Umbrella. Its strong defensive ability prevented any ghost from getting close.

The sky was blotted out by the sheer number of ghosts. If not for the Ghost Umbrella, his soul would have long been devoured by these famished spirits.

Chu Hao: ”System, with so many ghosts, can the Nine Mysterious Thunder Array wipe them out in one go?”

System: ”The number of ghosts is too large; the gathered Yin energy is immense.”

Chu Hao: ”I want to destroy all these ghosts.”

System: ”Annihilating ghosts is too mundane. The System advocates for more stylish methods of showing off. It is recommended that the Host purchase the Ghost Devouring Technique.”

Ever since that last incident, Chu Hao had become wary of the System. He opened the System Store and checked the price for the Ghost Devouring Technique—it actually required 5,000 Pretentiousness Points!

Chu Hao’s forehead creased. ”Damn it! System, you’re such a rip-off! I was saving those points for the Cleansing Marrow Scripture! Besides, I don’t even have 5,000 Pretentiousness Points!”

System: ”The Host can activate the Pretentiousness Support Plan. A Level 8 Apprentice Ghost Hunter is eligible to receive 1,800 support Pretentiousness Points.”

Chu Hao thought, So you’ve already calculated everything for me?

System: ”The System’s primary function is to facilitate the Host’s displays of pretentiousness.”

Chu Hao: ”Fine. Enable the Pretentiousness Support Plan.”

”Ding! The Host has activated the Pretentiousness Support Plan. As a Level 8 Apprentice Ghost Hunter, you have received 1,800 support Pretentiousness Points. Current Pretentiousness Points: 5,240.”

Chu Hao: ”Purchase the Ghost Devouring Technique.”

”Ding! The Host has purchased the Ghost Devouring Technique, consuming 5,000 Pretentiousness Points.”
