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

Too many changes can occur in an instant.

This left the senior students present momentarily speechless.

First, the only team to enter the barrier, the [Cangming Team], finally made a full appearance. Team captain Wang Chao displayed his prowess, severely striking back at the arrogant S-class members, and extended an invitation to the team on the spot.

After being rejected, the older and younger men exchanged harsh words with each other from a distance.

Then, the aloof girl barged into the scene, only to be smacked on the forehead.

"Wow, this is so good, I love watching it!"

"That girl must be a freshman too."

"A beauty saves the hero? Why is there a romance in this...?"

"If this girl is really here to save that bastard, one of you should just stab her. There's no point in living."

........

Ling Xin'er stood there, stunned.

It wasn't because she even sacrificed half of her A-level demon-controlling ability to use forbidden power.

It wasn't because she barely cared about consuming her strange energy and traveled at top speed for over thirty kilometers before finally arriving here.

It was simply because of that tap on the head.

The force was not strong, and the insult was not intense.

But she had never been hit on the head like that before.

So I don't know how to react.

Lu Ye was the first to react, touching his nose.

When Ling Xin'er was five years old, he would occasionally punish her in this way because she was too active.

That was just a subconscious physical reaction.

"Are you still not fully recovered? I threw you out, what are you doing back here?"

Senior student: "........."

"Damn it, you really have no sense of romance."

How could you bear to say such harsh words?

Before Ling Xin'er could react, Lu Ye's words ignited a firestorm among the onlookers.

The main thing is that Ling Xin'er is pale and standing there quietly, holding a sword in her hand. Anyone who sees her would think she looks pitiful.

As a result, I got scolded.

"I don't want to owe you anything..."

"What do you owe me? You should just honestly owe me."

Lu interrupted him directly.

He wasn't actually angry, he just felt it was unnecessary.

Ling Xin'er's aura was clearly off. The [Wedding Dress Ghost] was still there, but the [Wedding Dress] was gone, so she most likely used that "ultimate move".

Then he rushed back in a flurry, trying to help him deal with the senior students from the academy who were ganging up on him.

Lu Ye glanced at him sideways, "You look down on me that much?"

Are all pretty girls stupid? Why don't you read more books like him?

"No." Ling Xin'er lowered her head slightly, the surging eerie aura around her was gradually dissipating, and her face was becoming increasingly pale.

Because of her shared ability to control supernatural beings, Ling Xin'er was able to sense Lu Ye's current state before others, so she knew that she probably didn't need to come.

These people can't catch him.

But what is it?

"Fine, you're already here, and you've already used it. I'll give you an A-level ability to control ghosts next time."

Lu shrugged.

"Don't use that ultimate move recklessly in the future."

"oh."

Look around.

The senior students from the surrounding Mountain Ghost Academy also realized what was happening.

This junior is an A-level student; the reward is 50.

So they quietly blocked off all escape routes around them.

If it's two people... at least that S-class student will have someone to care about, especially such a beautiful junior.

The next moment, Ling Xin'er calmly took out her identity token, threw it on the ground, and then turned and left alone.

"What do you mean?"

"You gave up voluntarily?"

"Could it be that they don't want to drag that S-class down?"

"It makes me uncomfortable if you analyze it like that."

As they passed each other, Wang Chao smiled and took a step forward. "There are still quite a few senior students ahead of you. How about I find someone to escort you out?"

Ling Xin'er didn't even raise her head; she simply changed direction and left, leaving everyone with an extremely aloof and cold back view.

"If you can get her to say even a single word to you," Lu Ye gave a thumbs up, "you're that."

"Aren't you leaving yet?" Wang Chao looked at Lu Ye's gradually transparent body, then turned his gaze to a protruding boulder higher up.

There was also a Lu person squatting there.

"Just you wait, I'll deal with you first."

Lu Ye, who was on the scene, pointed to one of the members of the Cangming Team. This was the guy who had previously ambushed him from underground.

"You absolutely mustn't be too scared to come," the team member said with a smile, adding a harsh remark.

"Come on over."

Lu Ye gave a final laugh, and his body quietly shattered before everyone's eyes.

At the same time, Lu, who was standing on the boulder, waved to the people below and slowly backed away into the dark forest.

He left everyone with only a meaningful yet sinister smile.

........

"They're really cunning; they've already moved their real body away without us even knowing when."

"It's a pity we were so close. In just two more minutes, the [Mirror Space] would have completely sealed his abilities."

"Actually, it didn't seem that strong. I still managed to land the first hit."

The members of the [Cangming Team] chatted amongst themselves, ignoring the identity plaque on the ground that represented a 50 bounty.

To be among the top ten teams in the Mountain Ghost Academy, a team needs not only formidable strength but also exceptional strategic acumen.

After confirming the location of this S-rank team, the team immediately released the coordinates, attracting senior students from nearby colleges to come over, while the entire team remained hidden in the shadows.

It serves to observe the strength of S-class individuals while simultaneously wearing them down, and then wait for the optimal moment to deliver a fatal blow.

Although they ultimately failed to capture their opponent, they at least demonstrated some of the team's strength, letting that guy know that there were even stronger figures in the academy.

"He deliberately let you hit him."

Wang Chao withdrew his gaze from the boulder and spoke calmly.

"He must have discovered us from the very beginning. We were testing his cards, and he was testing our strength as well."

The team member was slightly surprised, but didn't take it to heart: "Then why would he dare to make such threats?"

"Perhaps after testing the waters, they felt they could handle us," Wang Chao chuckled.

The team members also wore exaggerated smiles. "Hehe, does he underestimate our Cangming team, or overestimate himself?"

A freshman who hasn't even officially enrolled yet dares to put himself on the same level as a top team?

I've seen S-class ships before, but I've never seen one this arrogant.

"So what do we do now, captain?" one of the team members asked. "Chase them?"

"Don't chase."

Wang Chao turned and walked into the dense forest, instantly having already decided on his next move.

"If what he said before he left was true."

"Then we won't need to go looking for him; he'll definitely take the initiative to attack us. Li Yi, you might be the first person to be attacked. Stay vigilant and don't let your guard down."

"Yeah, I'll wait for him." Team member Li Yi nodded with a smile. "But what if he's just bluffing and doesn't actually dare to come?"

"Even if he's S-rank, I'll still look down on him."

Wang Chao smiled.

"Such a person is not worthy to be my opponent."
