Ghost Catching System

Chu Hao sneered, ”Divine Artifact? This thing is an evil artifact. Who knows how many souls it has devoured?”

Inside the Eight-foot Magatama lay a world shaped by souls. Stay there too long, and you would get lost, becoming part of the soul shadows, thus empowering the Eight-foot Magatama.

Chu Hao said, ”So, this is an illusion created by soul shadows? Then an Illusion-Breaking Talisman should be able to break it, right?”

Just then, the System proactively spoke, ”Congratulations, Host, on gradually stepping into the Yin and Yang Realm. You are no longer a novice and no longer need guidance from System Daddy.”

Chu Hao was speechless. He asked, ”System, can this thing really be dealt with using an Illusion-Breaking Talisman?”

The System replied, ”The Host must make his own judgment, or you may request recommended items from this System.”

Chu Hao said, ”No need. Purchase the Ultimate Illusion Breaking Talisman.”

”DING! Host has purchased the Ultimate Illusion Breaking Talisman, consuming 8,000 Pretentiousness Points.”

The Ultimate Illusion Breaking Talisman could break all illusions. Among one-time use items, it was considered extremely high-end.

Chu Hao took out the Ultimate Illusion Breaking Talisman and recited the incantation.

The Ultimate Illusion Breaking Talisman disappeared into the Void. Immediately after, a suffocatingly horrifying scene appeared above the Void.

An infinitely large eye appeared within the Eight-foot Realm. It could see through truth and falsehood at a glance, returning the illusion to its origin with a single look.

The eye was infinitely large, with flames flickering within it.

”PFFT!”

A raging fire erupted in the Eight-foot Realm, burning away the illusions of this world.

「Outside.」

Uehara Futoshi was extremely confident. He was preparing to take Chu Hao back to Wo Country.

Everyone thought Chu Hao was defeated, and his friends despaired.

Suddenly, Uehara Futoshi screamed. The Eight-foot Magatama had become scorching hot, burning his hand and falling to the ground.

”What’s going on?”

Uehara Futoshi looked towards Chu Hao, his face turning incredibly pale. He couldn’t help but shout in shock.

Chu Hao opened his eyes. He moved his body. The whispers in his mind were gone. Indeed, he had returned.

Chu Hao looked at Uehara Futoshi, who was already scared witless. Pointing at Chu Hao, he stammered, ”You... how could you possibly escape? That was the Eight-foot Realm, after all!”

Chu Hao wore an indifferent expression. He stood with his hands behind his back, exuding an immense pressure that specifically targeted Uehara Futoshi, causing the latter to shake violently.

Chu Hao waved his hand with the air of a master and said, ”Eight-foot Magatama? It’s laughably weak.”

”DING! Host has displayed a shocking level of pretentiousness, earning 4,000 Pretentiousness Points.”

”DING! Host has displayed a shocking level of pretentiousness, earning 4,000 Pretentiousness Points.”

Chu Hao’s friends were overjoyed. They didn’t know what he had experienced, but seeing him awaken and turn the tables made it clear that the Eight-foot Magatama had no power over him.

The media representatives were all stunned, frantically scribbling notes.

Chu Hao coldly watched Uehara Futoshi and asked, ”How do you want to die?”

Uehara Futoshi trembled all over. He couldn’t understand how, given the power of the Eight-foot Realm, his opponent had managed to escape. He shrieked, ”Slit-mouthed Woman! Kill him! Hurry and kill him!”

At that moment, the Slit-mouthed Woman was still trapped within the Labyrinth Eight Diagrams Array. With her power, she could have easily broken the formation, but she held back. This man actually managed to emerge from the Eight-foot Realm!

Chu Hao said to the Slit-mouthed Woman within the formation, ”Trusting me will grant you a brand-new beginning.”

The Slit-mouthed Woman remained silent.

Uehara Futoshi shouted furiously, ”Slit-mouthed Woman, do you want to get me killed?”

Chu Hao said indifferently, ”Whether she lives or dies, I don’t know. But I do know that you are definitely going to die today.”

Uehara Futoshi stumbled back in horror. He wanted to beg for mercy, but if he did, his master wouldn’t spare him. He threatened, ”Chu Hao, do you dare kill me? My master won’t let you go!”

Chu Hao stepped forward, appearing beside Uehara Futoshi in the blink of an eye, and stomped on his chest. The impact was like being hit by a massive boulder; Uehara Futoshi spewed blood and was sent flying backward.

Chu Hao said, ”After I kill you, your master will come willingly to his own death.”

Terrified, Uehara Futoshi threw a handful of beans and turned to run.

The beans transformed into Black Samurai, but they couldn’t stop Chu Hao in the slightest. He plowed through them like a bulldozer, and the Black Samurai directly disintegrated.

Chu Hao threw a punch, and Uehara Futoshi screamed as his ribs were broken. That punch almost took his life.

Chu Hao looked at him and said, ”I can give you a chance to live. Tell me, were you the ones who killed Shangu Yizun?”

Uehara Futoshi coughed up blood and said angrily, ”You shameless bastard! It was clearly you who killed Shangu Yizun!”

Chu Hao muttered to himself, ”Someone is really targeting me. Who could it be?”

His gaze swept over the crowd. There were too many onlookers: many from Taoism, and even more from the Evil Cult, were hiding in the shadows, not revealing themselves. Who exactly wants to harm me?

I initially suspected Su Huansheng, but his style is open and honorable. Even if he were to frame me, he would do it covertly... It must be someone else.

Chu Hao turned to Uehara Futoshi and said, ”I told you before not to mess with me. You wouldn’t listen. Now, it’s time to send you on your way.”

”Stop!”

A number of people from Wo Country had also arrived. They were all disciples from Shangu Imperial City, Yin-Yang People of Wo Country.

Chu Hao stomped down, crushing Uehara Futoshi’s neck and ending his life.

The faces of the Shangu Yin-Yang Clan members changed drastically. With Uehara Futoshi dead, Shangu Imperial City was sure to be enraged.

”Chu Hao, you won’t die a good death!” a young member of the Shangu Yin-Yang Clan snarled, glaring at Chu Hao.

Chu Hao turned, walked over, and reached the young man in just a few strides. He slapped him squarely across the face, asking coldly, ”Who do you think you’re talking to?”

”DING! Host has gained 4,000 Pretentiousness Points for being domineering.”

The young man was stunned, his mouth throbbing with pain. As a seven-star Yin-Yang Person, he was nothing compared to Chu Hao. He had spoken out of anger just a moment ago.

Now targeted, he felt his scalp tingle. His opponent’s strength was too overwhelming for someone of his level, and fear gripped his heart.

The others held their breaths. Chu Hao was too domineering.

Meanwhile, some of the girls had stars in their eyes. Chu Hao is so domineering, so handsome!

”I...” The young man, now wary of Chu Hao, dared not speak further.

Chu Hao slapped him again. ”Who were you cursing to a bad death just now?”

The young man’s mouth was now bleeding, blood blisters forming. His body trembled with immense fear.

Chu Hao looked at the members of the Shangu Yin-Yang Clan and said, ”I’ve killed him. Anyone who disagrees can step forward and sign a life-and-death contract. I’ve always been known for persuading people with virtue.”

Damn it! He still claims to persuade people with virtue after hitting me twice for a single curse? the young man thought resentfully.

A Yin-Yang Person, likely in his thirties, stepped forward, glaring at Chu Hao. ”I disagree! Uehara Futoshi was already powerless to resist. Why did you still have to kill him?”

Chu Hao sneered, ”Are the onlookers blind? Uehara Futoshi wanted to enslave me. Should I have shown him mercy? If you have any doubts, go check the life-and-death contract.”

The Yin-Yang Person from Wo Country looked uncomfortable.

Once the life-and-death contract was signed, whatever happened on the platform—life or death—was beyond reproach.

Chu Hao, hands clasped behind his back, looked at the group contemptuously and said, ”Tell the Ancient Imperial City, if they want revenge, they can come right at me. A mere fourteen-star Yin Yang Master dares to act so arrogantly in Huaxia? I will let him know why the flower is so red.”
