Ghost Catching System

On Shangu Yizun’s side, the men from Shanban Village Well were also carried away, their complexions not looking good either.

However, Shangu Yizun cracked a slight smile and said, ”It seems that Huaxia’s Yin-Yang Techniques are quite impressive. You must have learned a lot from us.”

Someone angrily retorted, ”What do you mean by that? Have you no shame?”

Shangu Yizun smiled without a word, the implication clear: he was suggesting that Luo Yu’s Yin-Yang Techniques were quite good, but still, they were merely appropriated.

Chu Hao also felt a surge of anger and declared, ”It’s quite something for Wo Country, tiny as it is, to possess such Yin-Yang Techniques. If I’m not wrong, the technique just now was the Sunburst Technique, which is based on mixing Yang Qi with blood Qi. But there’s a downside: the Sunburst Technique consumes a lot of Yang Qi. Your so-called disciple, I reckon, won’t live past forty.”

Shangu Yizun’s face grew dark.

Chu Hao said disdainfully, ”The Sunburst Technique, within the Hidden Initiations Technique, is considered intermediate level. But do you know that above the Sunburst Technique, there is the top-level Nine Suns True Technique? This technique can instantly incinerate high-rank Ghost Kings with nine different types of Yang Fire. Frankly speaking, the Sunburst Technique is nothing but a lower-level Yin-Yang Technique derived from the Nine Suns True Technique.”

At this point, Chu Hao couldn’t help but laugh. ”You guys sure have a lot of nerve, parading our out-of-date Yin-Yang Techniques around here as if they were something to celebrate.”

”DING... Host scores points for showing off, receiving 4,000 Pretentiousness Points.”

The crowd was surprised. Even the Taoist Master of Taoism was shocked by how well Chu Hao understood the opponent’s techniques, casually dismissing their Sunburst Technique as an outdated Yin-Yang Technique.

This was… oh so satisfying.

Shangu Yizun’s face remained sullen.

Even I am bewildered, he thought. The things Chu Hao said are things I myself didn’t even know.

However, he had indeed verified that there were techniques above the Sunburst Technique, and that the Sunburst Technique was just a derivative. He just hadn’t known it was the Nine Suns True Technique.

”Well said!” the Maoshan Taoist Master laughed aloud.

The Maoshan Taoist Master then said, ”Let us show him what true, orthodox Yin-Yang Taoist Arts are, and where their lineage truly originates!”

Zhang Zhonghao interjected, ”Don’t be fooled. He wants to prove it. Are we just going to let him? I suspect that True Word Brush is fake.”

Shangu Yizun snorted coldly. ”Fake or real, a test will reveal the truth. Ours is genuine.”

Even the toad couldn’t bear to watch Shangu Yizun’s blatant posturing any longer.

Chu Hao stood in the center of the arena, hands clasped behind his back, and said, ”I can tell you very clearly: no matter how many people you bring, whatever you try to prove will be in vain. Because… Demons originated in Huaxia! Your Wo Country is a tiny place, not even as big as one of our provincial cities. How could it have produced the founder of Yin-Yang Techniques? Stop deceiving yourself.”

”DING... Host’s pretentious display is successful, earning 4,000 Pretentiousness Points.”

The audience applauded and cheered.

Shangu Yizun’s expression turned icy. ”This old man has indeed brought a Demon from Wo Country today.”

The crowd was startled.

A beautiful woman with a tall figure walked out, her eyes exuding charm, dressed in an elaborate kimono.

However, this woman exuded a powerful Monster Qi, adding to her alluring yet sinister demeanor.

Shangu Yizun said, ”Huizi, show your arm.”

The woman, Shangu Huizi, extended her arm and lifted her sleeve.

Suddenly, everyone felt their stomachs churn. Some who had just eaten desserts almost threw up upon seeing her arm.

Shangu Huizi’s arm was covered in eyes. Those with trypophobia would surely feel nauseous and dizzy at the sight. She was the legendary Baimu Demon from Wo Country!

The crowd was astonished. The Baimu Demon was known to be an evil creature; how could it be associating with Wo Country’s Yin Yang Masters?

Shangu Yizun said, ”Don’t be surprised. The Yin Yang Masters from Wo Country don’t always fight Demons on sight. We coexist peacefully.”

Is that true or false? the crowd wondered.

Chu Hao shook his head. ”Nonsense. Just an ignorant commoner who hasn’t seen the world.”

Shangu Yizun and the Baimu Demon were startled and glared furiously at Chu Hao.

Chu Hao continued, ”Foolish commoners. You really think you know everything, but actually, you know jack shit and still try to show off here. Do you even know where Demons come from? No, you don’t.”

Everyone else was also curious and leaned in, eager to hear what Chu Hao had to say.

Shangu Yizun declared, ”Of course I know. Demons originated in ancient times when Monster Qi was rampant, giving birth to them. That’s why Taoism exists—to slay Demons and protect all under heaven.”

Chu Hao said disdainfully, ”What a load of crap. Allow me to educate you today, you sheltered commoner. Demons originate from the Shanhai Civilization. To be precise, they weren’t called ’Demons’ but were identified by their clans. It’s only in this era that humans have started giving other races such names. Pretending to know when you don’t… who do you think you’re fooling, acting so high and mighty?”

”DING… Host successfully showed off with skill, rewarded with 4,000 Pretentiousness Points.”

The crowd was utterly astonished.

Shangu Yizun felt like he was about to vomit blood. He knows this too?

His face turned dark. It was the first time he had ever heard such a claim.

The toad chimed in, ”This Emperor didn’t want to speak, but listening to your bullshit, I just couldn’t stand it anymore! Kiddo Chu is right. In the ancient era of the Shanhai Civilization, the clans were thriving, and each clan had its own name for the others.”

The toad had arrived with Chu Hao. Everyone had assumed it was Chu Hao’s pet. Chu Hao is indeed… very wealthy, they thought.

Shangu Yizun, dissatisfied, demanded, ”Do you have any evidence?”

Chu Hao retorted, ”As if you have any evidence. Do you know about the Shanhai Secret Realm? It seems you don’t. Let me make it clear to you: the Shanhai Civilization is still thriving to this day, harboring the ancestors of the Demons. That’s right! The gem toad in front of you is from one of the Shanhai Secret Realm’s clans.”

It wasn’t often Chu Hao highlighted his background, so the toad seized the chance to gloat. He looked at the Baimu Demon and said, ”I have seen your kind before. A true Baimu Demon would have long since unified its eyes, possessing great strength—unlike you, with so many disgusting eyes. You’re low-level, completely lacking class.”

What the toad said seemed to make sense.

Someone laughed. ”Turns out he was just boasting.”

”This old geezer pretends to know things he doesn’t, showing off in front of us.”

”This is a real slap in the face, Old Tie.”

Shangu Yizun was furious, but he could not refute it. The other side’s words were coherent and well-argued.

Chu Hao waved his hand dismissively. ”Stop wasting time. Let’s go! Do you want to come one at a time, or all together?”

Shangu Yizun sneered, ”Let the True Word Brush reveal the truth!”

Chu Hao said, ”Wait!”

Shangu Yizun smirked. ”What’s the matter? Is Young friend Chu getting cold feet? I’m actually very curious about your imitation True Word Brush, wondering what material it’s made of.”

Chu Hao calmly said, ”Aren’t you trying to prove that Yin-Yang Techniques originated in your Wo Country? I also want everyone to see the true, shameless face of your countrymen this time. You’re even more obtuse than the worst posers out there. There are quite a few media representatives outside now; let them in.”

The crowd was surprised. This was escalating things significantly.

Media presence was significant; this was going to be a live broadcast.

Shangu Yizun snorted. ”Fine.”

The media were let in, and everyone was incredibly excited. They had been waiting outside for any news, but now that they were inside, they heard that Chu Hao was going to have a confrontation with Shangu Yizun about the authenticity of the True Word Brush.

Inside, the hall was packed.
