Ghost Catching System

The Shanhai Secret Realm, the legendary lost continent—Chu Hao had actually been there!

One must understand, the Seventh District had spent an immense amount of time researching it. They only knew the lost ancient continent once existed but could never find its location. For him to be able to enter on his own, how could it not make others envious?

”Ding... The host’s casual pretentiousness has earned 900 Pretentiousness Points.”

It’s not that I’m being pretentious; Brother Hao has really been there before. What a headache.

Zhao Gousheng said excitedly, ”Young friend Chu, have you truly been to the Shanhai Secret Realm?”

”However...”

However, what?

Before Chu Hao could speak, a cold voice interjected, ”We haven’t been able to find that place. How could you possibly have been there?”

The woman who arrived had long, straight hair and a tall, slim figure. She wore tight-fitting leather clothing. Her legs, while not exceptionally long, were undeniably sexy.

This woman exuded a powerful aura with just one glance, carrying herself like a high-ranking, influential figure. Her arms were crossed, revealing tattoos that gave her a fierce look.

However, her pupils were a greenish color, giving off an odd sensation, as if they were a pair of green, ghostly snake eyes.

Chu Hao glanced at her and said, ”Just because others can’t go doesn’t mean I can’t.”

Zhao Gousheng introduced her, ”This is Ouyang Lan, the current S-Level Demon Exorcist of the Seventh District.”

An S-Level Demon Exorcist—no wonder she was so imposing. In the entire Huaxia Country, there were only ten S-Level Demon Exorcists, each one exceedingly powerful.

Chu Hao turned to Chen Taofen and asked, ”What rank are you?”

Chen Taofen appeared somewhat embarrassed and said, ”AA-Level. But I’m in the top five for strength within the AA-Level.”

”Then AA-Level really is full of scrubs,” Chu Hao said.

Chen Taofen glared at Chu Hao, but that glare quickly turned to embarrassment. He didn’t dare to retaliate against Chu Hao, remembering the terrifying power Chu Hao had displayed inside the Ancient Tomb. He said, ”That’s not entirely true; every Demon Slayer has their own value.”

Ouyang Lan interrupted them, staring into Chu Hao’s eyes. When ordinary people were stared at by her, they would feel as if a green snake was watching them. She said, ”You claim you’ve been there; I don’t quite believe it.”

Chu Hao waved his hand dismissively. ”Believe it or not.”

Impressive. He didn’t even show deference to an S-Level Demon Exorcist.

Ouyang Lan was very dissatisfied, believing Chu Hao was lying. In truth, Ouyang Lan was extremely curious about the Shanhai Secret Realm. She said, ”Then tell us, what’s inside?”

Chu Hao said indifferently, ”What’s inside is not something you can handle. Their power is so terrifying it could slaughter all of human society.”

Ouyang Lan said defiantly, ”Then I really must see it for myself.”

Chu Hao stated flatly, ”You can’t get in.”

That was quite a blow. Ouyang Lan indeed couldn’t get in. And wasn’t it just moments ago that she refused to believe Chu Hao?

Chu Hao pointed at the Ghost Winged People and said, ”However, the Shanhai Secret Realm is not a place for Foreign Ghosts.”

Everyone was shocked. Zhao Gousheng quickly asked, ”Young friend Chu, why do you say that?”

Chu Hao shook his head. ”I’ve been there. I feel they aren’t Foreign Ghosts; they’re something else entirely.”

Zhao Gousheng hastily asked, ”Young friend Chu, can you go in again then?”

Chu Hao nodded. ”I can.”

Impressive.

Zhao Gousheng was excited. ”Then... then can we go in too?”

Chu Hao waved his hand. ”People like you would just be cannon fodder if you went. I don’t want to bring along dead weight.”

Ouyang Lan had reached her limit of dissatisfaction. ”You are indeed arrogant, but don’t underestimate us.”

Zhao Gousheng nodded slightly. ”Each S-Level Demon Exorcist of the Seventh District possesses powerful methods and abilities. It’s not necessarily impossible for them to survive in the Shanhai Secret Realm.”

Survive! Even Chu Hao himself didn’t dare claim he could survive in there.

He paid them no further mind and looked at the Ghost Winged Person, casting an identification ability on it.

Sure enough, the displayed combat power was ????. This ghostly thing truly lived up to its S-Level designation. With his current abilities, he still couldn’t kill it.

Chu Hao asked, ”System, what do I need to kill this thing?”

System: ”Host can purchase Xuan Yuan’s Sword; this System guarantees you will achieve great divine might in the Shanhai Secret Realm.”

The corner of Chu Hao’s mouth twitched. Xuan Yuan’s Sword was already a Divine Artifact—was the System joking with him?

Chu Hao said, ”Since there’s nothing else, I’ll be going.”

Zhao Gousheng’s attitude underwent a great change. After all, Chu Hao had said he could enter the Shanhai Secret Realm—something even the Seventh District couldn’t currently do. He quickly said, ”Young friend Chu, could you leave the Emperor’s Yellow Seal with us for safekeeping?”

Chu Hao shook his head. ”You’re too weak. If it really gets stolen, it will be a huge problem.”

Ouyang Lan finally couldn’t bear it any longer. ”You keep calling us weak. How about a match? If you win, I’ll give you my title of S-Level Demon Exorcist.”

She, a dignified S-Level Demon Exorcist, was actually being looked down upon like this, especially by this young man who was only about nineteen years old—nine years her junior.

Chu Hao replied pretentiously, ”You really can’t handle it.”

Ouyang Lan was so infuriated her teeth practically itched. What did he mean, ’I really can’t handle it’?!

System: ”Host, don’t forget your Pretentious Expert mission. Please maintain a pretentious state at all times, or you will be unable to upgrade.”

He’d almost forgotten about that.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Hao said, ”Since you insist, let’s have a friendly spar. I’ll let you see the gap between us.”

So arrogant, completely disregarding the S-Level Demon Exorcist in his eyes.

Ouyang Lan snorted coldly. ”We’ll settle this in the training grounds.”

The others shivered. Were these two really going to spar?

Soon, news of the sparring match spread. Staff members put down their work and flocked to the training grounds.

Zhao Gousheng was excited too. In his heart, he hoped Chu Hao would win. That way, Chu Hao could replace Ouyang Lan and join the Seventh District.

Although the idea was selfish, if this came to pass, the Seventh District would gain another top expert. The old man had even decided to discuss this with Ouyang Lan, but she just rolled her eyes and said, ”Let him beat me first. If he can’t even beat me, he doesn’t deserve to be an S-Level Demon Exorcist.”

”True,” nodded Zhao Gousheng.

The training ground was enclosed by metal walls. Through screens on all four sides, one could see the two people inside the training area.

Everyone in the Seventh District was very curious. Someone actually dared to spar with Ouyang Lan—they must have a death wish!

”Old Zhao, who is this young man!” a middle-aged manager asked.

”He’s a descendant of the Chu Family, also an heir of King Chu. The Emperor’s Yellow Seal is in his hands.”

The middle-aged man was startled, his gaze fixed intently on Chu Hao.

Other staff members pointed and discussed, ”Challenging an S-Level Demon Exorcist? This guy really has guts.”

”Absolutely. An S-Level Demon Exorcist is inherently strong. Furthermore, with the high-tech equipment we’ve developed, they could even take out an enemy commander amidst an entire legion.”

”Don’t forget, Ouyang Lan once killed the Ghost Demon Blue-eyed Snake King. She even has the Blue-eyed Snake King Bloodline implanted in her eyes. This allows her to see her opponent’s every move clearly and also to mesmerize them.”

Facing Chu Hao, Ouyang Lan took a deep breath, drew a dagger, and said, ”I’ll show you just how terrifying an S-Level Demon Exorcist can be.”

Someone asked eagerly, ”Brother Chen, who do you think will win?”
