Chapter 127: Strike the Mountain to Shock the Tiger, Xu Yang Buys a Ghost! _2

As the conversation went on, they saw Xu Yang had already gone to the school gate.

He stood inside the school, talking across the gate with the people from Zongsheng Palace outside, got his hammer, threw the water ball on the ground, stepped on the red clothing, and banged the hammer on the head of the red- clothed fierce ghost.

Outside the school gate, the Daoist cultivators and some “examiners” from Zongsheng Palace were silent for a moment.

Inside the school, the air suddenly became quiet.

The female ghost wailed, asking Xu Yang to give her a quick death.

However, Xu Yang just stayed there…

Because at this moment, in his mind, he heard twenty-eight system prompt sounds…

Apart from the three merit points provided by the red-clothed ghost under his feet, Xu Yang found…another twenty-five Yin spirits provided him with merit points!

The highest was 30 points.

That was a fire ghost, which also came with a ‘+1’ to his Fire Manipulation Skill.

The weakest was 10 points, just an “evil ghost,” not even a “fierce ghost.”

Xu Yang looked around.

His eyes were filled with Yin energy, and there were many ghostly shadows lurking around… Xu Yang had a sudden realization, it must be because some ghosts had seen the scene of him hammering the red-clothed ghost…

Did it scare them?

Xu Yang was not entirely sure.

He grabbed the red-clothed ghost’s ankle and dragged her to the flag pole in the school playground.

This position was the most conspicuous, ensuring that the Yin spirits and ghosts hiding in the classrooms, offices, green areas, and toilets of the school could all see this place!

“What are you doing?”

“Stinking Daoist, what are you trying to do?”

The red-clothed ghost struggled but couldn’t resist, only cursing, “You have the guts to kill me…kill me!”

Her screams echoed through the empty night sky, resounding throughout the entire school.

“Ding!”

“The fire ghost is frightened, merit points+30, Fire Manipulation Skill+1.”

“Ding.”

One by one, the system prompt sounds kept coming. Xu Yang was overjoyed, watching the number behind the “merit points” column on the system panel skyrocket. He immediately swung his hammer and slammed it down onto the female ghost lying on the flagpole!

The female ghost’s face was smashed into a concave shape and distorted.

This was obviously the result of Xu Yang controlling his strength. As he hammered, he excitedly said, “Hurry up, shout louder, and more miserably!” Red-clothed ghost: “…”

Bang!

Xu Yang slammed the hammer down again.

This time, there was a faint thunderous light on the hammer.

As the hammer fell, the thunderous light spread across the red-clothed ghost’s body. The unyielding and Yang-heavy power of the thunder caused her Yin Body to explode continuously, burning her Yin energy. The female ghost screamed immediately, and her screams echoed through the night sky once more.

This was called striking the mountain to scare the tiger!

“Ding!”

“The female ghost is frightened, merit points+50.”

“Ding!”

“The fire ghost is frightened, merit points+30, Fire Manipulation Skill+1.”

“Ding….”

“Uh….”

Xu Yang suddenly froze.

With his hammer slamming down, the red-clothed ghost let out a miserable scream and then…her body began to fade.

“Damn it…I used too much force!”

Xu Yang hurriedly said, “Hang in there, beauty, don’t die!”

A look of relief appeared on the red-clothed ghost’s face.

Eventually, she vanished from the world.

“Ding!”

“Congratulations, you have made great contributions to transcending lost souls. Reward: Merit Points +500.”

The system prompt sound in his ear let Xu Yang know…the red-clothed female ghost had really died. He looked dejected, with a self-blaming expression on his face, “It’s all my fault… I didn’t control my strength properly, now the loss is huge, at least a few thousand merit points less!”

“But, it’s not entirely my fault. It’s mainly because this red-clothed ghost was too fragile. After just a few hits, she died…”

Xu Yang perked up and thought, “There’s still plenty of time, and there are many Yin spirits and ghosts in this school. I have to hurry up and earn more merit points. Otherwise, if I miss this opportunity, it will be too difficult to find so many ghosts gathered together again.”

He picked up his hammer and began searching everywhere.

This time, Xu Yang learned his lesson.

He mainly focused on “scaring”…

For a time, the empty school was filled with the miserable screams of Yin spirits and ghosts. Some ghosts couldn’t stand the torture and rushed madly out of the campus, even smashing themselves to death on the “Daoist formation” outside without hesitation.

Xu Yang entered the teaching building.

The Yin spirits and ghosts in the teaching building scattered and fled.

He laughed loudly, chasing and scaring or capturing the ghosts. If he couldn’t capture them, he would “transcend” them…

Soon enough.

An hour had passed.

Outside the school…

Boom!

A bell rang, followed by someone shouting: “Time’s up! Candidates, please leave the examination venue in an orderly manner!”

Xu Yang came out of the teaching building.

Trailing behind him, there were faintly thirty-eight ghostly shadows.

“Alt, thirty-eight ghosts may not be much, but they account for more than a third of the souls in this school. Plus the dozen or so I’ve killed… I probably have the first place in this ghost-catching contest.”

“It’s a pity that an hour was too short. I only got more than 13,000 merit points… If I had the whole night to farm, I guess I could have gotten seventy to eighty thousand!”

As these thoughts went through his mind, Xu Yang’s eyes scanned over the ghostly figures. The Dao aura overflowed, suppressing them, and he sneered, ” What the hell are you guys doing with your heads down? You all better perk up for the Daoist Master!”
