Ghost Catching System

The arena fell silent, everyone staring dumbfounded at the Golden Lion Bodhisattva Body.

Is this the real Golden Lion Seal?

Despite the distance, whether humans, ghosts, or demons, all felt the impact of a vast and righteous aura.

Even those who had cultivated for a hundred years, transformed demons of high virtue and status, could not withstand the strike of the Golden Lion Seal.

This wasn’t a peak duel; it was purely a performance of the Mad Lion courting death.

At the same time, the live streaming room exploded.

All sorts of rewards and a flood of ”666”s erupted.

They saw the effect they wanted; Pretentious Brother had truly shown off again.

Showing off more impressively each time, the special effects and his acting prowess for this display were textbook level.

”Amazing, Pretentious Brother! I’ve decided, the title ’King of Show-offs’ belongs to no one but you!”

”So handsome, so much flair, so thrilling!”

”Can someone tell me what movie this is?! I want to buy a ticket! No! For Pretentious Brother, I want to book the whole theater!”

”Textbook-level showing off. I admit defeat.”

”Such novel and unique flair! First, he enters with a stunning beauty as a prelude to his show, making him seem like an ordinary person. Back then, I thought the beautiful woman was the main event. I was so wrong, terribly wrong. The real protagonist was Pretentious Brother all along—swapping a birdshot gun for a cannon, a loach transforming into a dragon! Later, I was fooled by his acting, thinking they were evenly matched. Little did I know, Pretentious Brother was just waiting for the perfect moment to flaunt his skills.”

”Indeed! With dramatic highs and lows, Pretentious Brother once again pulls out his trump card: genuine Magic Artifacts against counterfeit ones, stunning everyone. Fellow Taoists! After watching this live stream, my heart is swayed by temptation; I really want to go show off too!”

”The analysis above is 666...”

”To the commenter above, after you show off, let us know which hospital you end up in.”

Chu Hao stated coldly, ”Sorry, your death-courting performance ends now. I’ll send you on your way.”

The Golden Lion Bodhisattva Body charged forward, letting out the roar of a lion king.

Poor Jiang Yuran’s Golden Lion Seal directly shattered and disintegrated. It was not a counterfeit; it had simply expended too much power through the passage of time and was already damaged from use by a previous owner.

”No!!”

Jiang Yuran screamed as the ground where he stood exploded, creating a huge crater with smoke billowing.

”Ding... Killed Jiang Yuran. Mission accomplished. Awarded 80,000 Merit Points.”

”Ding... Killed Jiang Yuran. Mission accomplished. Awarded one Semi-Diamond Treasure Chest.”

”Ding... Killed Jiang Yuran. Mission accomplished. Awarded 1,000,000 Experience Points.”

”Ding... Congratulations to the Host for leveling up to Level 6.”

System Notification: ”Pretentious Expert title completion at 50 percent. Please keep up the good work, Host.”

Lord Show-off: Chu Hao

Level: 6

Experience Points: 200,000/7,000,000

Pretentiousness Points: 7,800

Mana Points: 10,200

Merit Points: 120,000

Ghost Servants: Zhao Yun, Confucius, Sadako, Chu Renmei, Jiayeci, Ghost Dragon (Qiu)

Finally, Level 6! From now on, showing off will earn 600 Pretentiousness Points.

And my Merit Points have reached 120,000! That’s 12,000 Pretentiousness Points!

Chu Hao looked down at the corpse on the ground, his face expressionless. Thinking of Jiang Yuming’s offenses and Jiang Yuran’s complicity, he felt not an ounce of pity as he said coldly, ”For your many evils, death is too kind a punishment.”

This duel concluded perfectly. Yet, Chu Hao felt a pang of sorrow in his heart for those who had died.

However, this incident also solidified his determination. If I hadn’t come across such a matter, I might have let it be. But now that I have, I must intervene.

Below the mountain, a deathly hush fell as everyone stared with wide eyes.

Jiang Yuran died just like that?

Chu Hao walked over to Jiang Yuran’s corpse and used a Soul Hooking Talisman to draw out his soul.

Jiang Yuran’s soul, having just perished, was still in a daze—a state known as ”ghost heart not yet returned,” where the consciousness is incomplete.

He then took out Jiang Yuming’s soul. The two brothers were now, in a way, reunited. He said coldly, ”This Taoist Master shall send you to the Eighteen Layers of Hell.”

Simply turning to ash would be too lenient for them. Only sending them to the Eighteen Layers of Hell to suffer all kinds of torture would be fitting.

The Eighteen Layers of Hell, with its myriad torturous variations... Surely that will be enough to deal with you two?

”No, please, no!” Jiang Yuming screamed.

Chu Hao ignored him. Forming seals with his hands, a Hell Gate appeared before him, and he threw the two souls into it.

After dealing with all this, Chu Hao turned his cold gaze upon the onlookers, especially the demons and evil spirits. He saw quite a few ghost shadows with considerable strength.

Some even hid their true intentions, terrified of exposing themselves.

Too terrifying. This man was not to be provoked.

”You lot, seen enough? If you have, then scram,” Chu Hao looked down upon them all, his voice extremely icy.

”Ding... The Host performed a Scary Show Off, gaining 600 Pretentiousness Points.”

Some turned and left immediately, without any hesitation, while others remained wary, and some continued to gaze at Chu Hao.

The crowd on the mountain thinned out, until only a few remained.

For instance, the breathtakingly beautiful woman standing on an ancient pine, emanating a powerful Monster Qi.

And halfway up the mountain, a black Ancient Ape, upon whose back sat a Golden Silk Elder Monkey. Its eyes seemed to convey human emotions.

Besides them, there was also a ghost shadow, exuding a chilling Ghost Qi that made everyone else keep their distance.

This ghost shadow hovered in mid-air, its sharp, eerie voice saying, ”Mortal, I’ll give you one chance. I want the True Word Brush.”

On the back of the Ancient Ape, the Golden Silk Elder Monkey also spoke in human language, ”This old one claims the Golden Lion Seal; it is fated to be mine.”

The beautiful woman neither spoke nor left, her intentions seemingly quite clear.

Chu Hao laughed coldly, ”A fox, two monkeys, and an ancient Ghost Soldier. You truly overestimate yourselves. If you want the True Word Brush and the Golden Lion Seal, come and get them yourselves.”

They didn’t move but fixed their gaze on Chu Hao, believing that after his battle with Jiang Yuran, he must be significantly drained.

Chu Hao sneered, ”Trash. Don’t you dare come?”

The ghost shadow shouted, ”Fellows, why are you still hiding? If Taoism gets the True Word Brush, it will spell doom for us all!”

From behind, in the dark recesses of the mountain, scattered voices could be heard, though no one seemed to be there.

Chu Hao narrowed his eyes, only then noticing that within the ancient pine forest, many ghost shadows were perched on trees or squatting on the ground, their mouths split in eerie, horrifying smiles.

So many ghost shadows have come.

HISS! HISS!

A large white serpent coiled around an ancient pine. Numerous other large animals were also present, all eyeing Chu Hao fiercely.

Chu Hao was furious.

What’s this? You want to gang up on me?

Damn it! I might consider myself ”the best in the world,” but if there are too many enemies, I’ll still be crushed.

Moreover, these creatures are different from the ones I’ve encountered before. Each one is strong, with some even at the Ghost Soldier level.

Especially that Ancient Ape beneath the Golden Silk Elder Monkey. Standing three meters tall, it’s almost like a yeti from the legends. I feel it’s familiar... probably one of the Shanhai Monsters.

What are these things?
