Eighteen Ghost Emperors of my ancestors, how dare you make me live in terror?

In the jungle before dawn, a swaying spider web catches its prey; a ghost-faced spider opens its mandibles, about to enjoy its first bite of the day.

Swish!

A dark shadow flashed past like lightning, skimming over the spiderweb.

The Ghost-Faced Spider blinked its eight dark eyes, looking at the human creature that seemed to have several legs, just like itself, with some confusion.

Lu Ye was extremely fast, and he didn't need to release much strange energy, relying entirely on his red spider legs to jump forward, so he hardly released any aura.

Two of the seven coffins encircling his arms quietly opened and closed. As he walked, Lu took out two level-three ghost artifacts from his Hundred Ghost Pouch and threw them into the two ghost coffins.

The ghost artifact transformed into dark light and was swallowed by the eerie coffin. Its materials merged into the body of the coffin, while the eerie energy it contained was transformed into essence and devoured by the two beings nurtured within the coffin.

Two excited responses came from inside the strange coffin: "Thank you for the reward, Master Lu."

【Seven Ghosts Sealing the Coffin】is a D-level supernatural ability, but Lu Ye seems to have developed a different way to use it.

Because he discovered that the most important ability of these seven strange coffins was actually "devouring and nurturing".

As long as he puts the ghost artifact inside, the coffin can transform it into the most primal nutrients, nurturing the eerie things inside, and can also absorb the ghost artifact's materials to improve the coffin's quality.

In other words, as long as enough ghost artifacts are fed to it for it to devour, the Seven Ghosts Sealed Coffin, including the strange creatures sealed inside, can grow and evolve!

And coincidentally, Lu Ye has no shortage of ghost artifacts.

Now, [Bull Head] and [Horse Face] have been thrown into their respective coffins by him, and he feeds them regularly.

Lu Ye's idea is to "feed" all seven ghost coffins into forbidden-level existences in the near future, and then, whenever he encounters someone stubborn, all seven ghost coffins will open and release their minions.

He doesn't even need to lift a finger!

Nine dragons pulling a coffin?

Have you ever heard of the Seven Devils Burial Coffin?

After a moment of contemplation, Lu slowed down a bit. He was moving a little too fast, and at this speed he might overtake others.

In perception.

Ling Xin'er was about ten kilometers away, parallel to him, with nearly 30 senior students from the Mountain Ghost Academy chasing closely behind, and the distance between them was slowly closing.

Lu Ye cut in from the side, and had already switched to leaping on the tree trunk. He could vaguely see the aloof figure in a white dress.

.........

"Stop the wall-breaking trick!"

One of the older members of the pursuing group shouted a short, sharp cry, and the jungle ahead suddenly became eerie, filled with ghostly shadows and an unfathomable illusion.

"Her speed has decreased, go!"

With another shout, three senior students suddenly increased their speed, each using their ability to control ghosts while still in mid-air.

Ling Xin'er, whose path was blocked by the "ghost wall," did not force her way forward, as being trapped in the illusion would greatly reduce her speed and allow her to be overtaken.

So she silently chose to fight back.

Ring ring.

The rattle on her ankle vibrated, emitting an invisible sound wave.

The senior students chasing from behind trembled, their minds momentarily losing focus.

A white dress instantly transformed into a bright red wedding gown, with countless red ribbons blooming like lotus flowers, completely enveloping the two senior students from the Mountain Ghost Academy in front of her.

As the last person rushed towards her, almost getting close, the cinnabar mark between Ling Xin'er's eyebrows suddenly turned as bright as blood. Her lips moved slightly, and she uttered a single word.

"retreat."

moment,

The senior student who rushed in front of him seemed to have been struck by some invisible force, and flew backward covered in blood, smashing through several ancient trees.

"A ghost curse?"

Lu also took in this scene.

Only bizarre abilities like the "Ghost Curse" can defeat an opponent with just a single word.

"But there's usually a price to pay for this, right?"

Meanwhile, after temporarily halting the pursuit, Ling Xin'er did not continue forward but turned and headed deeper into the dense forest to the east.

"What a powerful 'ghost curse'! Luckily, we can't kill him here, or I would have been done for."

The senior student who had been knocked away earlier got back up, feeling a bit scared.

Any strange ability associated with "curse" or similar is very sinister, because the source of the damage is impossible to determine.

For example, he was hit by the word "retreat" earlier, and then he was sent flying and seriously injured.

If the other party had said "death" instead of "retreat," the consequences would have been much more serious.

"Don't be afraid. The backlash of the 'Ghost Curse' is relative. She herself must have been seriously injured as well."

"Besides, she was previously affected by my 'mental withdrawal disorder,' hehe, she won't be able to hold out for long."

The senior student from the Mountain Ghost Academy had a rather sly smile.

He himself possesses A-level ability to control supernatural beings and is at the peak of the fourth realm, "Charm." Dealing with an A-level freshman at the peak of the second realm, "Erosion," would be a piece of cake, not to mention there are so many other senior students here.

As for the "Heart Retreat Barrier," it's not a high-level ability to control evil spirits, but it's unique in that it's strange and rare.

It won't cause harm after hitting the target, but the only drawback is that it will cause the target's mind to fall into confusion. In the most direct sense, it will cause a person's intelligence and emotions to regress to that of a child.

It's not an offensive ability, which is why it's harder to break. The solution is simple: just keep waiting until the effect of [Heartbreak] ends.

But if your intelligence degenerates to that of a child here, what's the point of playing?

"Juniors should properly accept the guidance of their seniors, and even pretty girls are no exception. This is the rule of our Mountain Ghost Academy—everyone is treated equally!"

"Chase after him! We must claim the bounty on this A-rank freshman, and then we'll go find that S-rank one!"

The pursuit force of thirty men set off again.

It's just a cat-and-mouse game from the start, why do you need fairness?

Every new student gets a beating – that's what fairness is!

"This ability is quite interesting."

Lu Ye looked at the back of the A-level senior student, stroked his chin, and pondered something.

"If only there were a magic control ability that could devour and plunder other people's magic control abilities, then I could just take any magic control ability I like."

"However, this idea of ​​mine is somewhat taboo."

Deprive other users of their ability to control other ghosts?

Once this forbidden ability appears, it is destined to be jointly annihilated by all those who control demons.

"Hey? Dude, what year are you in? You look unfamiliar." A senior student from the Mountain Ghost Academy next to me cast a glance my way. "Where's your school uniform?"

"I'm from the class of '21." Lu Ye shook the Mountain Ghost Academy student badge hanging on his waist.

"Jiang Tao?"

The senior student glanced at the name written on it and realized it was indeed a senior student from the Mountain Ghost Academy. He was from the class of 20, so he put on the airs of a senior.

"Is this your first time participating in this game as a senior? You obviously have no experience. Remember to wear your school uniform next time, otherwise you might not be able to tell if you're on your own or not and could easily hurt someone in the wrong way."

"Oh, okay." Lu Ye nodded with a smile, feigning confusion, "There are several A-level students among the freshmen, why are we so fixated on this one?"

"She's beautiful," the senior student replied matter-of-factly. "Wouldn't you like to get to know such a pretty junior beforehand?"

"think."

"What are you thinking!" the senior student scolded with a look of melancholy. "Have you seen Li Ziheng?"

Lu also glanced at it, and saw that the other party was referring to the A-level senior student who was leading the group.

"He's got his eye on this junior and wants to pursue things. We have no chance with each other."

"That won't do! This junior belongs to everyone. Trying to take her all by yourself is a crime!" Lu Ye protested indignantly. "Why should he get to have her just because he's interested?"

"Heh." The old man gave a forced smile. "Li Ziheng is a peak-level A-rank cultivator in the fourth realm. How do you think you can compete with him?"

"I'm still an S-rank in the third realm, why can't I steal it?" Lu Ye thought to himself, slowly rubbing his identity token with his fingers.

.........

Under the moonlight.

A 21-year graduate named Jiang Tao pulled the smelly sock out of his mouth, pulled away the weeds covering his body, and struggled to sit up, touching the large bump on his head.

It took me a while to come to my senses.

"Where the hell are they?"
