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

"They're out."

"He really escaped..."

Every freshman who is qualified to enter one of the top ten academies in the Great Xia Dynasty is a chosen one, selected through rigorous processes.

At this moment, all these young geniuses were looking at the figure standing outside the barrier—

Although he looked somewhat disheveled and covered in dirt, and his cursing was rather rude.

But the last rays of the setting sun bathed his profile, casting a long silhouette—this scene…

So flashy.

It's so dazzling.

One by one, senior students slowly emerged from the dense forest, standing at the boundary between light and shadow, silently gazing at the lone figure standing in the light.

Some had bruises around their eyes.

Some had large patches of hair burned off.

Some had seven or eight bumps neatly arranged on their heads.

Nearly 200 eyes were fixed on this place.

Lu Ye was also watching them.

They looked at each other with expressions.

Lu waved first: "Don't bother seeing me off anymore, I've already taken you home."

Then it just exploded.

"#￥@￥%#￥!"

"*****!"

"%&%*%****!"

"Huh? Why did it automatically mute?"

"The insults were too harsh and damaged the academy's reputation, so I've banned them." The dean appeared beside him with a smile, waving his hand at them. "You may all leave now."

As soon as the dean spoke, the crowd reluctantly dispersed, their eyes clearly revealing their desire to invite Lu Ye to have a late-night snack together.

"Phew, this has exhausted me."

Lu Ye lay back and threw himself onto the grass, his hands under his head as he looked at the night sky, slowly regaining his eerie aura.

Take this opportunity to clear your mind.

What a thrilling and exhilarating battle of pursuit and counter-pursuit, ambush and counter-ambush, beating and being beaten!

Adding to the nearly 200 senior students from the Mountain Ghost Academy who later joined the main force, they chased him through the forest in a massive battle that spanned thousands of miles.

It even ran back to the starting point where it entered the barrier at one point, and then ran back in a big circle.

Even though he was an S-class student with enhanced intelligence and a lot of treasures in his pocket, being besieged by so many screaming senior students had indeed drained his energy.

They were both badly hurt.

"This freshman game will be recorded and made into a lesson plan for college teachers to use as a case study. I also plan to have every freshman read the handbook before participating in any future freshmen."

"Sorry, you're about to become a legend."

Li Tianyi, standing beside him, was all smiles.

It was made into a case study because it was effective regardless of whether we faced strong teams before or a collective attack from established teams later.

During this period, Lu also demonstrated a series of action strategies, including but not limited to dozens of cunning and effective means and techniques such as deception, feinting, concealment, decapitation, deception, taking advantage of chaos, counter-attack, and besieging a point to attack reinforcements.

"Although it's just a game, I have to say it's a very good practical teaching experience, and as the dean of the academy, I have a responsibility to continue teaching this case study."

"If it generates economic benefits, don't forget my share of the profits." Lu didn't really care about these things.

He was enjoying the joy and satisfaction of success.

I'm so happy with life that I don't want to die anymore. What should I do?

"Welcome to Mountain Spirit Academy. You're sure to have a great time here."

Dean Li Tianyi's figure slowly disappeared.

"I agree, Dean, please take care."

Lu Ye originally wanted to stand up and bow to the big boss to see him off, but he was too tired to move, so he gave up.

The eerie energy around him rushed into his body through his pores. His eerie energy "content" was four or five times that of an ordinary third-realm eerie cultivator, so his mana regeneration time was longer.

Just as he was almost fully recovered, a small pendant-like object was thrown onto his chest.

"A level-five ghost artifact, consider it a reward for your successful completion of the game, from the Mountain Ghost Academy."

Lu played with it for a while, then casually tossed it into the ghost coffin on his arm. Anyway, the effect would be the same if the little ghost devoured it.

"How is it? Do you like it?"

"not bad."

Lu Ye stood up, bounced around a couple of times, and returned to his peak form.

"At least it's not as boring as I imagined."

Ever since he learned that he could become the Ghost Emperor with just one more shout, he has raised his standards for the quality of life and has no intention of shortchanging himself.

If there's nothing interesting to do, you might as well hurry up and have a son.

So he didn't really care about things like S-level, manager, or the top ten academies; his main focus was on the experience.

"However, I should make it clear beforehand that my S-rank status may end at any time. I might just fall asleep one day and never wake up again. You won't need to try to save me then."

This timing depends on when Hongluan conceives.

Are you in a hurry?

"Yes, it's urgent."

You're anxious even with a group of ghost emperor ancestors.

"Then drink more goji berry tea."

"Right, how could I forget that?" Lu Ye suddenly realized that all the things needed for preparing for pregnancy had been prepared; from now on, there would definitely be goji berries in her thermos. "What's the next step?"

Lu looked around and saw that the group of new students had dispersed, but he didn't see Ling Xin'er.

Wu Qing's gaze remained fixed on the magnificent sunset on the horizon; there were no such beautiful fiery clouds in the Ghost Realm.

"Since you're already here, I'll give you a few days off. At least let you experience college life. If this were hundreds of years ago, you would already be a 'college student'."

"A college student..." Lu Ye had never heard of that before. "What's that?"

"A special species with clear-eyed stupidity, carefree, fragile yet difficult to kill, and a beautiful vision of the world, has gone extinct."

Wu Qing seemed to be in a good mood, and even cracked a joke, which was rare for her.

"But they are indeed a lovely group of people."

"I like college students," Lu said with a smile.

Such a wonderful species should only exist in times of peace. It's normal that it doesn't exist in this supernatural world.

"The approval process for your upcoming activities is quite complicated, and I need to make the trip in person. Once the procedures are completed, you can start working on clearing the S-rank Mysterious Dungeon."

"Approval?" Lu also grasped the key word.

"Actively entering an S-level bizarre instance requires authorization and approval from the Central Bureau of Supernatural Affairs. In principle, you need to reach at least the fifth level of the 'Bizarre' realm. You are only at the third level now, so there will be some obstacles."

"What if the Central Bureau of Deception disagrees?" asked the newbie from the Third Realm.

"No." Wu Qing's figure slowly disappeared. "They agreed as soon as I went."

In the blink of an eye, only Lu Ye remained on the open space.

S-shaped, eerie dungeon......

Is it finally coming?

"But the academy gate is pretty dilapidated."

Lu Ye turned around and looked at a dilapidated gatehouse not far ahead. If it weren't for the words "Mountain Ghost Academy" written on it, it would be hard to believe that this was not a shrine but the gate of one of the top ten academies.

Through the gate, Lu also saw more crooked and twisted structures that resembled buildings.

The bumpy dirt road was prone to small sandstorms when the wind blew. Alongside the crisscrossing road network were rows of small, oval-shaped thatched houses that stretched all the way from the school gate, numbering roughly a thousand.

The only difference is that the thatched huts come in different sizes; the larger ones have crookedly hung signs like "[Practical Training Classroom for Eerie Creatures]", "[Self-Service Canteen]", and "[Open-Air Stargazing Bathhouse (Male)]"...

The innermost layer is a mountain, with many small houses nestled in steps from the top to the bottom. They look a bit more upscale than the thatched huts at the foot of the mountain, but they're not actually that much better.

"Does a good environment mean it's dilapidated?"

The moment I stepped through the gate.

Bang bang bang!

Brilliant fireworks and cannons rose into the sky, while colorful flags and banners were unfurled on the thatched roofs on both sides of the dirt road, accompanied by the sounds of lanterns, decorations, gongs, and drums.

A row of figures flashed into view directly in front of them, bowing in unison at a 90-degree angle as they landed.

To speak with enthusiasm and passion.

"Greetings, Boss!"

"A warm welcome to the Boss!"

"The Boss is awesome!"
