Ghost Catching System

Everyone’s noses were out of joint.

Those who were not of Taoism hadn’t felt particularly angry before, but this old guy suddenly turned his spearhead towards everyone.

Su Muyue, Luo Yu, the Taoist Masters from various sects, and the countless Yin-Yang Persons present all wanted to beat up this old fart.

Chu Hao spoke indifferently, ”Such a tiny place as Wo Country, you sure talk big. Are you next going to ask us to prove that what you’re saying is right?”

Shangu Yizun smiled, a faint red glow on his wrinkled face, and said tactfully, ”I merely wish to exchange ideas with our international friends.”

Chu Hao said, ”Pretentious and insincere. If you ask me, Wo Country is too small and is searching for self-confidence from us in Huaxia.”

Someone said, ”You’re right. Wo Country, a place no bigger than an anthill, is always trying to make its presence felt in the world.”

Shangu Yizun’s face darkened, and he said, ”This summit is for the very purpose of international exchange, isn’t it?”

Chu Hao said, ”Traveling all this way here, is it to seek a sense of presence for Wo Country? Aren’t you afraid of failure and being slapped in the face?”

Leaning on his crutch, Shangu Yizun insisted, ”This old man only wants to prove to the whole world that the Yin-Yang Techniques of Wo Country are the legitimate tradition and that Yin-Yang Techniques originated from Wo Country.”

The crowd was furious.

They actually wanted to prove to the whole world that Yin-Yang Techniques and Yin Yang Masters originated from Wo Country. They even claimed the cultural heritage of Taoism originated there as well. This old guy’s ambition was too great!

Everyone became tense; this time, Chu Hao was carrying the reputation of all Yin-Yang Persons and the face of the Huaxia people.

A man stood out; it was Luo Yu, who said, ”All nonsense. If you want a match, I’m happy to oblige.”

Chu Hao became the center of attention. Luo Yu felt this was a good opportunity to stand out and gain some fame.

Other Yin-Yang Persons also said, ”Let me do it. Chu Hao isn’t the only one skilled in Yin-Yang Techniques; we are too. Let’s show these Wo Country brats the power of Huaxia’s Yin-Yang Techniques.”

More and more people stood up and spoke out, and many Taoist priests also made a stand.

Shangu Yizun said with a smile, ”Gentlemen, no need to rush. If you wish to spar in Yin-Yang Techniques, that is fine; I just happen to have brought a few disciples.”

With that, several men—young and old—and women walked out from behind him. It was clear that Wo Country had come prepared.

Someone shouted, ”Don’t be fooled, everyone! Why should we compete against them?”

Thinking about it, it was obvious Wo Country had come to provoke trouble. They were wildly hoping to use this goading strategy to get everyone to spar with them.

Luo Yu felt this was a good opportunity to make a name for himself. He stepped forward and said, ”Enough talk. If you want a match, let’s have it.”

A muscular man stepped forward, speaking in the Wo Country language, which was incomprehensible.

Luo Yu said, ”What’s with the bird talk? Come on.”

A space was cleared in the venue for the match.

The man spoke in broken Huaxia language, saying, ”Shanban Village Well, a Nine-star Yin-Yang Person.”

Luo Yu was also a Nine-star Yin-Yang Person and furrowed his brow slightly. The opponent had indeed come prepared; the first person to step out was a Nine-star Yin-Yang Person.

”Come on, Luo Yu! You can lose to anyone, but not to these little devils!”

”You can do it!”

Initially, Luo Yu had wanted to make a name for himself, but now it felt different. He was carrying the reputation of so many people. If he lost, how could he face anyone?

Luo Yu mustered all his spirit.

Luo Yu pulled out a string of beads engraved with runes. He believed in his family’s Yin-Yang Techniques.

”Heaven and earth arise together, sweep away filth and eliminate transgressions, refine the Nine Paths, and restore the ultimate truth.”

The bead bracelet in Luo Yu’s hand flashed with rune imprints, the string broke, and nine stones flew up, turning into objects resembling balls of lightning, hovering in mid-air.

Luo Yu sneered, ”Let’s see how you handle my Nine Solar Thunders.”

Among the Taoist priests, someone exclaimed in surprise, ”Nine Solar Thunders! He is a descendant of the Nine Daoist True Man.”

Shanban Village Well chanted spells and formed hand seals. Soon after, light flickered behind him. SWISH! His back clothing ripped apart, and everyone saw a sun tattoo on his back.

The sun seemed to slowly emerge from his back. It emitted blazing rays of light that settled on his shoulders, making him look like an incarnation of the Sun God, scornfully eyeing Luo Yu.

Everyone’s heart raced. They could feel the intense Yang Qi radiating from the sun. Ordinary Ghosts, upon encountering it, would undoubtedly perish.

”As expected from a Nine-star Yin-Yang Person,” Luo Yu roared angrily, ”Nine Solar Thunders, advance!”

Shanban Village Well said, ”Burn him.”

The sun blazed fiercely, emitting a scorching heat. The Yang Qi was terrifyingly intense as it collided with Luo Yu’s Nine Solar Thunders.

BOOM!

A loud explosion rang out, and an aurora burst forth. Everyone instinctively squinted—the light was too dazzling.

Finally, when everything had calmed down, Luo Yu staggered backward, spurting blood.

Looking at Shanban Village Well’s complexion, it was clearly not good either; both of them had been injured.

”Son of a bitch,” Luo Yu was furious. He had been very confident in his Yin-Yang Techniques, but he had never expected to end up in a tie with a little Wo Country brat.

Shangu Yizun frowned and, speaking in the Wo Country language, asked, ”Village Well, what are you doing?”

Shanban Village Well’s expression was grim. He bowed apologetically to Shangu Yizun and said, ”With the next strike, I’ll kill him.”

Although Luo Yu couldn’t understand, the others could, and they translated for him.

”’You want to kill me? You’re courting death!’” Luo Yu retorted, his spirit unyielding. They actually want to kill me? As if I don’t want to do the same to them!

Luo Yu spat out fresh blood onto the Nine Solar Thunders. The purple radiance of the Yang Thunders blossomed, and one could vaguely see the nine Solar Thunders converging to form a human face.

”The Leigong Technique of the Nine Daoist True Man!” a Taoist priest exclaimed in amazement.

The Leigong Technique was the Nine Daoist True Man’s strongest Yin-Yang Technique in ancient times, used to execute countless Evil Demons and Ghosts. No one expected that his descendant had also learned this technique.

Shanban Village Well shouted loudly. The sun’s light began to dim, its color gradually darkening as if a celestial hound were devouring the moon.

”Waning Sun.”

”Leigong Roar.”

The dark sun erupted with intense heat, aiming to incinerate Luo Yu to ash. Meanwhile, Luo Yu’s Nine Solar Thunders raged as if Leigong himself was thundering, bursting forth with a flash of blinding lightning.

The two forces collided.

BOOM!

Countless individuals backed away.

Especially the Yin-Yang Persons below nine stars, who watched the battle in stunned silence, suddenly realizing the importance of star-level distinctions.

In the center of the field, the ground was scorched black—the remnants of the battle’s fury.

Luo Yu coughed up blood, his entire body charred as if he had been roasted by intense light, and he could no longer stay upright.

Shanban Village Well was in a similar state, trembling violently, as if struck by lightning.

Finally, Shanban Village Well’s eyes rolled back, and he collapsed.

Luo Yu coughed up more blood, his clothes stained red. His body stiff, he turned rigidly and seemed to be speaking to someone in the crowd, saying, ”I haven’t disgraced myself.”

With those words, Luo Yu also fell to the ground.

The Yin-Yang Persons from Huaxia rushed to check on his injuries.

”Good job, Luo Yu!”

”Luo Yu, are you alright?”

The Taoist Master from Qingcheng Mountain took his pulse. He let out a sigh of relief and said, ”His life is not in danger, but he will need some time to recover.”

Chu Hao walked over, looked at Luo Yu, and said, ”Impressive strength.”

Luo Yu chuckled weakly and finally passed out.
