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

On the other side, in the dense forest.

"What a pretty junior."

"You're one of those A-level guys, right? We're both A-level too."

"Hehe, judging from your aura, you must be quite injured, junior. Don't be stubborn. Why don't you just hand over your identity token to us?"

"We'll take you safely back to the academy for the rest of the journey."

A gentle laugh echoed from the dense forest.

However, it quickly turned into panic.

"What is this?"

"This aura... it's a sacrifice!"

"Stop! You'll suffer the consequences yourself."

"You... damn it, get back!"

An ancient, dark, and eerie aura appeared briefly and then disappeared.

The two A-level senior students slowly collapsed to the ground, blood flowing from their bodies like a spring.

Swish!

A figure in black robes appeared in an instant, slapping out several streams of eerie energy to protect his aura, and then picked up two senior students, one in each hand.

Before leaving, he turned and glanced at Ling Xin'er, who was standing there silently.

"Is it worth sacrificing half of an A-grade demon-controlling ability just to maintain power for the duration of three incense sticks?"

At this moment, Ling Xin'er's condition was extremely strange. Her pupils turned back to scarlet red, but she did not lose her mind.

The phantom of the [Wedding Dress Ghost] appeared behind her, but she no longer possessed the A-level ghost-controlling ability [Wedding Dress].

Instead, he now wields a longsword composed of countless bizarre runes, and blood drips from his brow.

Ling Xin'er did not answer, but noticing her gaze, the teacher from the Mountain Ghost Academy smiled and said, "It's alright, these two aren't going to die."

"It seems your surname is Ling. I know your father. Your elders should have told you to use this ability sparingly, at least until after the fifth realm."

Ling Xin'er continued to answer, her aura rising steadily.

"Alright, you young people these days are all so stubborn." The teacher waved his hand helplessly. "Go on with your work, take care of yourself."

"Thank you, senior."

Ling Xin'er cupped her hands in a respectful gesture, then turned and left.

Then it sped off in a certain direction, its speed significantly faster than before, and its aura became extremely powerful.

In the palm of my hand was a thin, glistening red thread, as fine as a hair.

Originally, the red thread formed a balloon in a childlike way, but after going too far, the balloon dissipated on its own, leaving only this small section.

Because of some special connection, she could sense the location of a certain person even from a great distance.

Even though she had already been thrown out, she didn't know why she wanted to go back, and even used forbidden power because she didn't want to waste time.

Perhaps it's because they don't want to owe anyone anything.

Or perhaps it's because of something else.

At least now she won't be a burden when she goes back.

.........

"Damn it, get out of the way! Watch out for my ultimate move!"

"Secret Technique - Fierce and Devious: Poison Dragon Drill!"

With an exceptionally powerful roar, everyone automatically made way. A B-level senior student, surrounded by countless ghostly shadows, spun himself into a high-speed spinning top.

With a deafening roar and eerie howl that tore through the air, it charged toward Lu Ye with unparalleled momentum.

Then a phantom flashed.

Another senior student standing nearby, clutching his backside, flew into the air, roaring with a ferocious expression, "Are your eyes in your ass? Go crawl through him! What are you doing, blindly crawling through my way through? Damn it!"

The senior student, enraged by the insults, roared back, "I fucking went straight for him!"

"Look at the bloody hole in my ass before you speak!"

"Quiet down! It's his 'Ghost Bloodlust Curse' that was triggered. There's a 20% chance that it will transfer the cursed person's attack to someone else. This was just friendly fire."

"Ha, trash, I'll do it!"

Another senior student pushed through the crowd, stood up menacingly, and roared as he tore open his short-sleeved shirt, revealing his muscular physique. At the same time, a towering, ghostly figure several meters tall materialized behind him.

"Rage Slaughter - Golem Earth Shattering!"

With the human and the ghost united, the old man's muscles crackled as he leaped high into the air like a strongman ascending to heaven, his fists clenched tightly. The huge ghostly figure behind him maintained the same majestic posture, and the human and the ghostly figure smashed down on Lu Ye's head.

boom!

After a muffled thud, a figure flew back like a cannonball, even faster than when it went.

It roared past everyone, smashed a boulder, and then fell asleep.

"Oh no... 'malicious counterattack'."

"Damage reflection has been triggered..."

"How do we fight this?"

This small group of senior students from the Mountain Ghost Academy couldn't help but sigh as they watched the figure dominating the arena.

"I'm seriously impressed... I haven't encountered a freshman like this in all these years."

"Are all S-class characters this outrageous? Or is he the only one who's exceptionally outrageous?"

"He's talented and has the ability to control ghosts, fine, but he's also covered in ghostly artifacts that can't be broken through. Whose favorite son has descended to earth to experience life?"

"With forty or fifty senior students who have never messed with a single freshman, this is going to be embarrassing."

"Tch, what's there to be ashamed of? He smashed my face all over."

One of the older students rubbed his swollen left cheek, wincing in pain.

Then, turning his head, he saw that everyone else's faces looked just as terrible as his own, and he couldn't help but laugh. Laughing made the pain worse, and he convulsed in pain.

"Stop making me laugh and hurry up and smooth out your face that's swollen like a pig's head."

"Third brother, your nose is practically bleeding into your mouth, don't you even bother to wipe it?"

"Damn, no wonder my mouth tasted salty..."

"I'm too tired to continue, I'm going to lie down for a bit, you guys keep going."

........

The older students got more and more tired as they played.

Lu Ye became more and more excited as the fight progressed.

Like a bulldozer, it plowed back and forth across the battlefield.

The clothes he wore were top-tier protective gear, and various buff talismans enhanced his abilities, occasionally triggering surprises like "damage reflection" and "damage transfer".

While the older students were still struggling to break through his defenses, he had already grabbed them and given them a good beating.

Then, after finally managing to clear out the evil energy he possessed from his three realms, he unleashed the [Deceptive Hand] again, randomly grabbing an older student and absorbing it rapidly, instantly restoring his energy to full.

It can withstand attacks, fight, and sustain itself.

Lu Ye also felt that this model was invincible.

Now, apart from having a son, he has no weaknesses!

"Are you still going to fight? If not, I'm leaving."

Lu Ye finally stopped and stared at the group of senior students, their eyes meeting in disbelief.

His clothes were slightly dirty, while the older students were all bruised and swollen, and few of them could even stand up.

The more joy they felt before the brawl, the more ashamed they are now.

A group of senior students enthusiastically blocked the freshmen here, even blocking the route in advance to prevent them from escaping, all for the sake of a thorough beating and to let the freshmen experience the unique features of the college.

The unexpected result was that he got beaten up by the other person.

I've never embarrassed myself like this!

"So, I'm really leaving?"

Seeing that no one responded, Lu also decided to make a quick getaway.

We've had our fun, but we can't stay stuck here forever; there are still about a hundred other senior students inside the barrier.

But just as he turned around...

The shadow behind him suddenly "came to life," transforming into a human shape and silently delivering a punch.

boom!

The hidden, powerful force erupted at full force the moment of contact, and the shockwave even overturned other senior students nearby.

Lu was also slammed into the air by this punch.

But this was not the end. While Lu Ye was in mid-air, another figure quietly appeared above his head, seemingly waiting for him there all along.

boom!

Another loud bang.

Lu was smashed down from mid-air like a cannonball, kicking up countless specks of dust.

The sudden turn of events plunged the battlefield into a deathly silence.

"Cough cough."

Lu Ye fanned himself as he slowly emerged from the smoke and dust, looking at the blond man who appeared in the scene, and the other five people standing behind him.

"I thought you weren't planning on making a move."

Lu Ye glanced at the blond man, tilted his head, and spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva.

The attack that came from the shadows earlier seemed powerful, but it didn't actually hurt him. The real threat came from the person in mid-air behind him.

That is, this blond man.

This guy is probably the strongest one who has entered the barrier so far.

He is also the only person who has hurt him so far.

It even briefly broke through the shield he had formed with red threads.

The difficulty has finally increased.

"Excuse me, what's your name, classmate?"

"Wang Chao, captain of the [Cangming Team], A-level ability to control ghosts, fifth level of 'ghost' realm."

The blond man smiled slightly.

"Would you like to join us?"

"No."

Lu shook his head directly, then smiled brightly.

"I hold grudges."

"So what do you plan to do?" Wang Chao looked at him calmly.

"Is that even a question?" Lu Ye glanced at each of the [Azure Sea Team] members one by one. "Of course, we'll beat you all up first."

"I'm waiting for you."

"You wait here."

After Lu finished speaking, he was about to leave when he stopped in his tracks. He felt a familiar presence suddenly appear behind him and laughed in exasperation.

"Why are you back here again, getting involved in this mess?"

He then flicked his forehead with a flick of his wrist, sending the opponent sprawling on the head.
