Ghost Catching System

The assessor’s wooden and icy voice echoed in the silent room, everyone’s palms sweaty, some already in despair.

How many has it been?

People kept stepping forward, not a single successful advancement, and this was already the thirty-eighth person.

Even the assessor was disappointed and said, "Next, September."

September walked forward nervously, placing her hand on the stone talisman, emitting a weak glow, revealing her age and strength on the stone.

The old man said, "September, twenty-three years old, Earth Master, Middle Vehicle Realm, disqualified."

September turned pale, almost bursting into tears.

"How come, she’s twenty-three and clearly meets the Yellow-robed Students’ standard, why didn’t she pass?" Someone was puzzled.

The old man raised his head and explained, "It’s not just about strength and age detection, did you see that light emitted from the stone monument? It tests the purity of your Yang Energy."

Tears welled up in September’s eyes, her dreams, her wishes were now shattered.

September carried all the hopes of her family and villagers, traveling alone to the Jiuhua Holy City, starting as an apprentice, staying for more than a year.

In fact, when she was twenty, she had already reached the Earth Master, Middle Vehicle Realm, even as a White-robed Student, she was considered very promising, but for some reason, three years passed, and she remained stagnant in the Middle Vehicle Realm.

September’s delicate body trembled.

Thinking of the hardships over the years, she wanted to cry.

Her father told her the world was dangerous, so to protect herself, she tried not to let her appearance be seen by the public, making herself look shabby, and a shabby girl wouldn’t attract attention.

She was about to cry.

A warm, large hand rested on her frail shoulder, September turned and saw Chu Hao’s encouraging gaze.

A stranger in a foreign land gave her comfort.

With tears in her eyes, September said, "I, I failed, I’m really useless, I don’t belong in the Holy City."

Watching this beautiful girl cry, Chu Hao comforted, "It’s okay, you still have a chance."

Saying this, Chu Hao looked to the old assessor and said, "I think she should be assessed once more, please give her another chance."

The rest of the students were stunned, waiting to witness what would unfold.

Indeed, the old man’s cold voice said, "I’ll give you another chance, just pretend I didn’t hear that."

September was also shocked, tugging at Chu Hao’s hand, signaling him to step back. Qin Fei from earlier was an example, directly expelled from the Sacred Land, showing its ruthlessness.

Chu Hao insisted, "Reassess her once more, she can pass, I guarantee it."

The old man stared at Chu Hao, his eyes exerting immense pressure, icily stating, "You don’t need to be assessed anymore, next."

Other apprentices couldn’t help but sigh, this kid was too foolish, playing the hero for a damsel at a time like this, even putting himself at stake.

September’s face turned even paler.

Chu Hao shook his head and stepped forward, placing his hand on the stone talisman.

The old man was furious and said, "How dare you disrupt the assessment order, guards! Throw them out of the Sacred Land."

A group shrank their necks, throwing people out for anything, too terrifying.

The enforcers stepped forward to capture Chu Hao.

Suddenly, a dazzling light erupted from the stone monument, enveloping the entire room, making countless people squint.

The old assessor was stunned.

The enforcers were also stunned.

The apprentices were equally stunned.

September’s jaw even dropped to the ground.

Twenty-two years old, Half-step Heavenly Master.

Eight conspicuous characters appeared on the stone talisman.

"Ding... Host’s shocking showoff succeeded, gaining 60,000 Showoff Points."

Showoff, Brother Hao takes it seriously.

The old man was one hundred percent sure, even a Half-step Heavenly Master wouldn’t emit such a dazzling light, this light represented the purity of Yang Energy. He’d once seen a Taoist Master test with the stone monument, and the light didn’t reach even one percent of Chu Hao’s.

The enforcers inhaled sharply, could this young man actually be a Taoist Master? They wondered what the old assessor would do next.

Chu Hao was also surprised, was he really just twenty-two?

Could it be that the seven years lost when slain by the Ghost Ancestor, during which his body was reforged, didn’t count?

Chu Hao breathed a sigh of relief, joy in his heart and thought, "I’m still a fresh young man."

"You? You! What’s your name?" the old assessor hurriedly asked.

Chu Hao coldly replied, "Zhang Han, what about my earlier suggestion, give her one more chance."

The assessor didn’t know what to say, this young man’s strength was greater than his own.

The old man still shook his head and said, "That’s the rule."

September’s face showed signs of disappointment, with a hint of a smile she said, "Zhang Han, thank you."

Chu Hao shook his head and said, "There’s something wrong with your body, if I’m not mistaken, you encountered a fierce ghost of extreme Yin Sha early in life. It planted the root of Yin Sha inside you, sealing your meridians and Yang Energy."

September’s exquisite face was full of surprise, "How did you know? I, I did encounter a very powerful fierce ghost of Yin Sha in a mass grave but didn’t dare to provoke it because it was too strong. However, when it glanced at me, I felt like I was plunged into an abyss of ice."

The old man was also surprised, even he hadn’t seen it.

Chu Hao said, "Indeed, it didn’t harm you, but it planted the root of catastrophe inside you."

Chu Hao placed one hand on September’s shoulder, converting Yin Yang Force into threads, searching within her body.

Finally, inside September, a sharp ghostly laugh echoed, penetrating everyone’s eardrums, striking deep within their hearts.

This sound was extremely eerie, seemingly piercing through the soul, causing all apprentices to shiver, even the assessor.

A ghost shadow appeared behind September, its face twisted, expression hideous and terrifying.

The assessor exclaimed, "Is this a Ghost Seed?"

The enforcers were stunned.

What is a Ghost Seed?

One day, if September dies, she would turn into a fierce and evil ghost, lacking consciousness and feeling. Once powerful enough, she would seek out the fierce ghost that planted the Ghost Seed and either be devoured by it or become its Ghost Servant, incredibly sinister.

This is a Ghost Seed.

The old assessor’s face was appalled, this Ghost Seed’s strength had reached King Level!

Chu Hao stared at it and coldly said, "Begone."

"Living being, you court death, daring to touch this throne’s Ghost Slave." The ghost shadow laughed sharply, shrill and grating as if nails scraped across glass.

An astonished apprentice took a step back, one by one, retreating, this was actually a King Level Ghost Seed.

September’s face was also pale; there was such a monster inside her body.

Chu Hao erupted with terrifying Yin Yang Force and said, "The one courting death is you."

Behind Chu Hao, a large hand formed by condensed Yin Yang Force appeared, grasping the ghost shadow.

"Ah!!"

Then, directly crushed it.
