Ghost Catching System

Lin Mu was furious, feeling utterly insulted.

"Kill!"

Lin Mu erupted in rage, the hand he clasped around the long spear revealing a curse mark—his curse body.

"So fast." Lan Ruo exclaimed.

It was unbelievably fast, Lin Mu’s figure was almost invisible, and the long spear in his hand continuously pierced, launching a dense flurry of attacks toward Chu Hao.

Chu Hao seemed to be retreating, but he blocked and dodged almost every spear thrust.

"It’s fast, but too weak in power."

Chu Hao grasped the Endless Sword tightly, unleashing its universal force, slashing swiftly and fiercely, causing Lin Mu’s hands to ache, and the long spear flew out of his grip.

In the next moment, Chu Hao rushed forward, grabbed him by the neck, and pinned him to the ground effortlessly, like an adult handling a primary school student.

Casuallly, Chu Hao lifted his sword, ready to plunge it down.

"Watch out." Lan Ruo shouted in alarm.

"You’re dead, Silver Dragon Spear." Lin Mu yelled.

The silver spear that flew from his grip suddenly shot up, aiming to strike down at Chu Hao’s head.

Everyone held their breath.

However, the tragedy did not befall Chu Hao. He turned his head, revealing the Tai Chi Pupil.

With a "bang," the Silver Dragon Spear was sent flying, instantly shattered, vanishing without a trace.

The crowd gasped in astonishment.

"What happened?" Lan Ruo was equally baffled.

"Pupil Technique?" Lin Mu was in shock, genuinely feeling the opponent’s overwhelming power for the first time.

Chu Hao seized him by the throat and thrust the sword down, his scream faded away.

The host was stunned, and after a long pause announced, "The winner is Sentimental Swordsman with a Ruthless Sword."

The hundred-match winning streak was accomplished.

And the seemingly formidable Lin Mu was dismantled instantly, utterly outmatched.

The audience erupted into thunderous cheers, witnessing a miracle.

Lan Ruo was also in a daze, unable to believe that such a person was merely a gatekeeping worker at Shuxiang Garden?

What a joke?

Having dealt with Lin Mu, Chu Hao casually remarked, "Next."

The host quickly walked over, saying, "Master, according to the rules, with your hundred-match winning streak, you are now eligible to challenge the All-Star Challenge."

Chu Hao’s eyes brightened, exclaiming, "Then let’s start."

The host replied, "The All-Star Challenge can only be held during the scheduled time."

Chu Hao grumbled, "How long?"

The host replied, "The upgrade ranking for the All-Star Challenge just ended, the next event will be in a month."

Chu Hao cursed, "Damn, why so troublesome."

"I’m off then."

Chu Hao’s figure disappeared from the stage.

The host was left speechless; he hadn’t finished explaining.

Mu Qingfeng initially planned to have someone add Chu Hao as a friend, but with him leaving immediately, Mu Qingfeng’s mouth twitched.

...

In reality.

Lan Ruo exited the Shanhai Platform, still in shock, it felt too unreal to witness the rise of a champion with a hundred-match winning streak.

Overnight, he succeeded in a hundred victories and advanced to the All-Star Challenge.

"So impressive."

What amazed her the most was, he was merely a gatekeeping worker at Shuxiang Garden?

Suddenly, Lan Ruo recalled an incident when a group of students stormed Beidou Hall, and inexplicably, half of them cleared the event.

Could it be that Chu Hao was among them at the time?

Lan Ruo seemed to uncover a shocking secret, thinking, "I might be the only one who knows about this."

This night, an insomnia night.

The next day, Lan Ruo came outside Shuxiang Garden’s entrance, looking for the gatekeeping worker, only for another gatekeeper to say, "Zhang Han? He’s resting today."

Lan Ruo asked, "Where does he live?"

The gatekeeper replied, "The small worker hut up ahead."

Lan Ruo went to Chu Hao’s hut, knocked a few times, finding he wasn’t there.

Lan Ruo murmured, "The challenge ended successfully, where would he go?"

At that time, Chu Hao was summoned by Qin Guifang.

Qin Guifang was still plump, but she would be quite beautiful if she slimmed down, at least her facial features were nice. She looked at Chu Hao, saying, "I heard from Jiuyue that you plan to go out and earn task points?"

Chu Hao nodded slightly.

Qin Guifang said, "It’s not impossible, you can go out once a month, but you’re asking for leave right after arriving, which isn’t right."

Chu Hao shook his head, "I won’t ask for leave anymore."

His credits were nearly sufficient, today he could complete them without needing leave.

Qin Guifang frowned, asking, "Why?"

Chu Hao replied, "My credits are almost enough."

Qin Guifang: "????"

She was confused, what do you mean your credits are enough.

Qin Guifang was a bit angry, saying, "Are you messing with me, kid?"

Chu Hao said, "No."

Qin Guifang snorted, "Never mind, you have a task today, I won’t argue with you, go to the Twelfth Branch’s Mingxiang Garden and stand guard today."

Chu Hao complained, "Am I not supposed to rest?"

Qin Guifang’s face was plump, but her skin was smooth, she looked like a tigress when angry, saying, "You brat, it’s for your own good. If you need to take leave someday, wouldn’t someone need to cover for you?"

That makes sense.

After all, Chu Hao wasn’t in a rush, he could handle the credits overnight.

After assigning the task, Qin Guifang asked, "I heard you beat up the yellow-robed students?"

Chu Hao, like a school kid, complained first, "They troubled me first, it was self-defense."

Qin Guifang rolled her eyes, "Who would’ve guessed! How come your strength is so exceptional, why settle as a worker here?"

Chu Hao helplessly said, "Sacred Land doesn’t have assessments to recruit new students."

Qin Guifang nodded, saying, "Fine, off you go."

After Chu Hao left, Qin Guifang murmured, "This kid is interesting."

Chu Hao arrived at Mingxiang Garden, the Twelfth Branch’s female dormitory. A gatekeeping worker girl noticed him and said hurriedly, "Sorry to trouble you."

Saying so, she hurried off, as if something urgent arose.

Feeling bored, Chu Hao prepared to log into Shanhai Platform, having completed the challenge, All-Star Challenge was next month.

At that moment, a voice cried out in surprise, and a girl ran over excitedly, asking, "Are you Expert Brother?"

Chu Hao turned to look at the girl.

Her face was egg-shaped, with bright eyes above which were arched, painted-like brows, a small and straight nose, and a round, seemingly pouting little mouth.

A very cute little girl.

Zhang Guoguo, she had just returned from a task, unexpectedly seeing Expert Brother at Mingxiang Garden.

In Panlong District of Holy City, she couldn’t forget Chu Hao’s heroism, knocking out Third-Stage Split-Mouthed Corpse Monster and handling the Second-Stage Zombie Monsters like chopping vegetables, even rescuing her from an opponent’s grasp.

Meeting Chu Hao, Zhang Guoguo felt suspicious, her baby-fat face slightly reddened, wondering if Expert Brother was stalking her?

Could it be that Expert Brother appeared in Panlong District because of her? And now he’s here because he’s following her?

The more she thought, the more likely it seemed.

How creepy.

Yet, why did her heart swell with a bit of smugness?
