Ghost Catching System

Chu Hao left the Merit Hall, and with a wave of his hand, the Sage Robes draped over him as he soared into the sky.

The guards of the Merit Hall thought they were seeing things.

”Whoa! Someone flew away.”

”I saw it too. Who is that person?”

”Amazing, they flew away in an instant. Could it be a big shot from the Sacred Land, or maybe an elder?”

”Stop guessing, we can’t discuss people like that.”

...

Panlong District, one of the nine regions of Jiuhua Holy City, each of which is vast.

Jiuhua Holy City is not just a city; there are also forests and mountains surrounding it. The Holy City is enormous.

Chu Hao flew at a fast speed, creating sonic booms in the sky, and soon arrived at Panlong District.

According to the mission clues, the Split-Mouthed Corpse Monster appears at night, disguising itself as a human to attack people traveling alone. The next day, the bodies are discovered with gruesome bite marks.

Previously, a Yin-Yang Master had tried to capture it but was killed by the Split-Mouthed Corpse Monster, which is why its credit score is so high.

Jiuhua Holy City remains lively even as night approaches, with bustling streets filled with people and cars.

These are modified rune cars, with various designs, rivalling famous cars like BMW, Audi, Maserati, etc.

One could say that Shanhai Realm is an era where technology and Yin Yang Runes are integrated, very innovative.

”Yin Yang Runes are primarily used as technology here, enabling many things that are impossible in the Yanhuang World,” Chu Hao muttered.

Chu Hao landed on the rooftop in Panlong District.

Chu Hao said, ”System, is there an item that can lure out this corpse monster? I’m in a hurry.”

System: ”Recommend host to purchase an Advanced Corpse Attraction Talisman, requires 80,000 Pretentiousness Points.”

”Purchase.”

”Ding... Host purchased an Advanced Corpse Attraction Talisman, paying 80,000 Pretentiousness Points.”

Chu Hao took out a Corpse Summoning Talisman, a piece of white talisman paper. Chanting incantations, the talisman paper floated in the air, emitting a white glow.

Chu Hao sat cross-legged on the rooftop, waiting quietly.

After a while, Chu Hao could sense something appearing around him.

His figure blinked and disappeared from the rooftop, returning half a minute later with a corpse in hand.

This corpse looked hideous, sporting two ugly heads. It wasn’t the Split-Mouthed Corpse Monster, but rather a Double-headed Zombie.

A Second-Stage peak level Double-headed Zombie.

As soon as this corpse monster appeared, Chu Hao slaughtered it, earning five million Experience Points.

”There are other corpse monsters appearing in the Panlong District.”

Chu Hao frowned as he noticed more commotion, then disappeared.

...

Zhang Guoguo gripped the talisman paper tightly, feeling exceedingly nervous as it was her first time accepting a mission. She was a Yellow-robed Student.

Usually, when students take on their first mission, someone accompanies them, but Zhang Guoguo wanted to tackle it alone.

This time, her target was a Double-headed Zombie roaming the Panlong District.

Zhang Guoguo was cautious, aware that the mission wouldn’t be easy due to other lurking corpse monsters, such as the Third-Order Split-Mouthed Corpse Monster.

Third-Order corpse monsters are terrifying, and Zhang Guoguo dared not act openly.

Having hidden in the Panlong District for three days, Zhang Guoguo finally found traces of the Double-headed Zombie and was excited to act.

Suddenly, a figure appeared—a tall man who directly snatched the Double-headed Zombie away.

Zhang Guoguo exclaimed in surprise and frustration, stomping her feet, ”That’s mine!”

Zhang Guoguo was furious, but the figure had already left.

She was also amazed by his strength, as the Double-headed Zombie couldn’t even react and was just taken away. Such strength?

With the Double-headed Zombie gone, the mission failed, but Zhang Guoguo was unsatisfied.

She climbed onto a rooftop, searching for the vanished figure, and not far ahead, she saw a white light flash, catching sight of Chu Hao, especially the corpse of the Double-headed Zombie beside him.

Besides the Double-headed Zombie, there were other corpse monsters’ bodies.

Zhang Guoguo’s eyes widened as she saw the scene.

In addition to the Double-headed Zombie, other monsters such as Four-Armed Corpse Monster, Belly-Mouthed Corpse Monster, Winged Ghost Corpse Monster, etc., were also Second-Stage corpse monsters.

Many corpse monsters were targets for Merit Hall missions.

Zhang Guoguo’s mouth dropped open, eyes filled with disbelief. She said, ”So powerful.”

Zhang Guoguo was strong too, capable of defeating a Second-Stage peak corpse monster, close to becoming a Red-robed Student.

Moreover, she was only eighteen years old, exceptionally gifted. But compared to this expert, what was she?

”An expert, a true expert.”

In a flash, Chu Hao disappeared, leaving Zhang Guoguo thinking he left. Yet within half a minute, he returned, holding another corpse monster’s body.

”Ding... Host successfully showed off, earning 60,000 Pretentiousness Points.”

”So fast.”

Zhang Guoguo didn’t know what else to say.

”Red-robed students definitely can’t achieve this, even a Blue-Robed Student might struggle. My brother is a Blue-Robed Student; he certainly couldn’t do this,” Zhang Guoguo stated confidently.

If her brother were present, he’d definitely scold her.

Chu Hao muttered, ”Anyway.”

At this moment, Chu Hao turned around, having already discovered Zhang Guoguo secretly observing him, yet he hadn’t startled her.

Suddenly, a terrifying presence appeared—a corpse monster landed on the rooftop.

Under the moonlight, Chu Hao and Zhang Guoguo both saw it—a creature resembling a human but with a mouth split to the ears, dressed like an ordinary person.

”It’s a trap,” the shadow said.

Zhang Guoguo exclaimed, ”A Third-Order Split-Mouthed Corpse Monster?”

Realizing she shouted, she immediately covered her mouth, fear and dread in her expression.

The Split-Mouthed Corpse Monster turned to look in Zhang Guoguo’s direction, showing a greedy look, ”A female Yin-Yang Practitioner, what a great prey.”

In an instant, the Split-Mouthed Corpse Monster lunged forward, opening its mouth wide with bloodthirsty jaws, intending to swallow Zhang Guoguo.

Its speed was too fast.

Zhang Guoguo froze in fear, standing motionless.

She shut her eyes, too scared to move. But after a while, nothing happened, so she opened her eyes.

She saw Chu Hao surrounded by sword shadows, the Split-Mouthed Corpse Monster encircled by countless swords, being mercilessly shredded.

Zhang Guoguo was overwhelmed, almost crying in gratitude, and said, ”Thank you, Expert Brother, for saving my life.”

Chu Hao didn’t respond, fully confirming this was indeed the Split-Mouthed Corpse Monster.

It was quite powerful; the Endless Sword cut into its flesh, leaving only scars, not fatal.

The Split-Mouthed Corpse Monster roared furiously, unable to break free from the encirclement—there were too many Endless Swords, layering one after another.

The Split-Mouthed Corpse Monster snarled, ”Yin-Yang Practitioner, was this your trap?”

Chu Hao, hands behind his back, said, ”Whether it’s a trap, you no longer need to know.”

The Colossal Divine Soldier appeared, reaching out to grab the Split-Mouthed Corpse Monster, which opened its mouth and bit down on the divine soldier’s hand.
