Ghost Catching System

Gu Cai charged down, his body having already transcended regular ghostly form. It was comprised entirely of densely packed, palm-sized Ghost Shadows, descending like a tempest.

Chu Hao wielded the Ritian Stick, spinning it so rapidly that it intercepted the incoming Ghost Shadows, creating a vortex that kept them at bay, suspended in mid-air.

Moreover, some Ghost Shadows turned directly to ash upon contact with the Ritian Stick. Showing their dread, they soared into the air and coalesced into a human face that roared in anger.

The Ritian Stick indeed hasn’t disappointed me! As my strength increased, so did its power. Chu Hao was delighted.

Gu Cai said, ”Living human, if the Gui Yin King were here, it would not be your place to be so insolent.”

Chu Hao offered a faint smile and replied, ”It seems your Gui Yin Mountain is also full of cowards. I’ve already set the mountain ablaze, yet its king still tucks his tail and hides.”

”Don’t talk nonsense,” Gu Cai retorted, fuming with rage.

As he spoke, Gu Cai stretched out a Ghost Hand. It appeared out of nowhere, aiming straight for Chu Hao’s heart.

The speed was incredibly fast, and it was already too late for Chu Hao to react.

However, he was wearing the True Yang Armor, which blocked this sneak attack from the Ghost Hand.

Chu Hao scoffed, ”A sneak attack, huh?”

As he spoke, the Ritian Stick suddenly elongated, thrusting at Gu Cai, scattering the Ghost Shadows but failing to inflict damage on him.

Gu Cai boasted proudly, ”You alone cannot kill this king.”

Indeed, there were simply too many palm-sized Ghost Shadows, so it was impossible to know where Gu Cai’s true body was hidden. He could always be shifting, and without annihilating all of them, he could not be killed thoroughly.

But this was no challenge for Chu Hao.

With a wave of his hand, the True Word Brush appeared. He channeled a vast amount of Mana Points to write the ’Lin’ character.

”Ding... Host has expended 15,000 Mana Points.”

”Seal Heavens, Seal Earth, Seal the Three Souls and Seven Spirits! Execute with haste, as the laws decree!”

The True Word Brush, a Taoist Treasure, possessed truly frightening power. Its force grew greater the more Mana Points were spent.

In an instant, a hundred-meter radius was sealed by a powerful restriction, and all the Fierce Ghosts within this space found themselves unable to escape.

”What!” exclaimed Gu Cai, taken aback.

The other Semi-Ghost Kings were equally shocked. They tried to leave the sealed area, only to find they absolutely could not, as if an invisible wall blocked their way.

Chu Hao took a deep breath. So the power of the True Word Brush really does depend on Mana Point consumption. He remembered that he had bought Restorative Mana Potions.

”Ding... Host has purchased five Mana Potions, expending 5,000 Pretentiousness Points.”

Chu Hao gulped down three potions in rapid succession, rapidly replenishing his Mana Points.

Chu Hao then channeled more Mana Points and shouted, ”Heaven and Earth Prohibition, contract!”

The Heaven and Earth Prohibition began to constrict.

”Ding... Host has expended 10,000 Mana Points.”

The contracting seal startled them. Gu Cai constantly slammed against it, but to no avail.

”Attack, let’s all go at once,” commanded Gu Cai.

Now was the time to strike. If they waited, they would all die. The Semi-Ghost Kings knew this well.

A horde of Fierce Ghosts charged. Chu Hao sneered. To capture the thieves, first capture the king. He had set his sights on Gu Cai.

After downing two more Restorative Mana Potions, he powered up the Ritian Stick’s most formidable move, Trembling Strike!

As Chu Hao chanted the incantation, the Ritian Stick suddenly radiated a golden glow. In a flash, it disappeared into the depths of the Void.

BOOM!

A thunderous explosion sounded. The Fierce Ghosts looked up to witness a scene they would never forget: a colossal golden rod plummeting down, like a meteor falling from beyond the heavens.

BOOM!

Gui Yin Mountain shook, and dust billowed. The Ritian Stick pressed down with such force that the ground trembled and the mountain itself cracked open. Not even a Peak-level Ghost King could handle such power.

The next moment, Chu Hao heard a notification in his mind.

”Ding... Killed a Semi-Ghost King, gained 1,000,000 Experience Points.”

”Ding... Killed a Semi-Ghost King, gained 1,000,000 Experience Points.”

”Ding... Killed a Semi-Ghost King, gained 1,000,000 Experience Points.”

”Ding... The Semi-Ghost King dropped a Golden Treasure Chest, which has been added to the inventory.”

”Ding... The Semi-Ghost King dropped a Semi-Ghost King Pill, which has been added to the inventory.”

”Ding...”

”Ding... Completed an S-rank mission, gained 6,000,000 Experience Points.”

”Ding... Completed an S-rank mission, gained 100,000 Merit Points.”

”Ding... Completed an S-rank mission, you can get three Diamond Treasure Chests.”

”Ding... Congratulations to the Host for leveling up to level 2.”

”Ding... System upgrade, Treasure Chest fusion function unlocked.”

With that move, Chu Hao left a huge crater in Gui Yin Mountain, nearly annihilating the Semi-Ghost Kings.

Chu Hao was delighted. I’ve finally leveled up! Now I have an extra 2,000 Pretentiousness Points to show off with.

However, he noticed that the Fierce Ghost Gu Cai was not yet dead. This guy is tough as nails! Nearly all the Ghost Shadows he had sent forth were annihilated, with only a few remaining.

As for the Big Boss, he was completely flabbergasted. This is a scene I’ll never forget for the rest of my life!

I must seem so ridiculous in the face of absolute power! Who could survive that massive iron rod bearing down?

Chu Hao extended his hand, and the Ritian Stick returned to his grasp, his gaze calm and indifferent.

”Ding... The Host’s stunning show-off has earned 2,000 Pretentiousness Points.”

”Ding... The Host’s stunning show-off has earned 2,000 Pretentiousness Points.”

Look at that! A stunning show-off move is now worth a full 4,000 Pretentiousness Points! Life’s going to be much more comfortable from now on.

Chu Hao’s heart blossomed with joy.

”You! You!” the Fierce Ghost Gu Cai screamed in terror, then turned to flee.

Chu Hao wasn’t in a hurry. Where could he possibly run? He’s already scared out of his wits.

Chu Hao leaped into the air, chasing after the direction in which the Ghost Shadow was fleeing, not noticing that the Big Boss had miraculously survived.

The Big Boss heaved away a stone that had been crushing him. Seeing the huge crater in Gui Yin Mountain, he shuddered violently. Without a moment’s hesitation, he turned to flee for his life. Once Chu Hao finishes off Gu Cai, it’ll be my turn!

Chu Hao pursued. Gu Cai was heavily injured, so his escape speed had slowed considerably, making him easy to catch.

”Still trying to run!”

Chu Hao’s large hand reached out, grabbing at a palm-sized Ghost Shadow. It screamed in fear; this was Gu Cai’s true form.

Alas, it could not evade Chu Hao at all and was caught in one grip.

A Talisman suddenly appeared in Chu Hao’s hand. He recited an incantation and completely sealed Gu Cai, ensuring he couldn’t even fly away.

Chu Hao threw him to the ground and said, ”Go on, keep running.”

”Don’t kill me, don’t kill me.”

The palm-sized Ghost Shadow spoke in a voice like a child’s, high-pitched and thin.

Chu Hao coldly asked, ”Are you the only Advance Quasi Ghost King in Gui Yin Mountain?”

At this time, Gui Yin Mountain was ablaze with raging fires. It wouldn’t be long before Gui Yin Mountain turned to ash, and all lurking Fierce Ghosts had emerged.

The Ghost Shadow trembled and answered, ”Yes.”
