Realm of the Night God - Chapter 152: I Won't Be Polite
<
spirit masters, also known as Ghost Keepers, enter into contracts with various powerful ghosts, turning them into their Guardian Yin Spirits, and then manipulate these ghosts to do their bidding.
Once a spirit master enters into a contract with a ghost, a mysterious and unique connection is established between them. As the spirit master’s power increases, the Guardian Yin Spirit benefits, and as the Guardian Yin Spirit’s power increases, so does the spirit master’s.
There are many ways for spirit masters to enhance their own strength, but there is only one way for Guardian Yin Spirits to do so, which is by devouring undead or consuming other, more powerful souls.
This puts spirit masters at odds with the Yin Division.
The reason is simple: the Yin Division guides souls to reincarnation, while spirit masters, in order to enhance their own power, continually allow their Guardian Yin Spirits to devour souls, thus cutting off the path to reincarnation. Hence, there is a significant conflict between the two sides.
Since they both deal with ghosts and Yin Qi, spirit masters are similar to Yin Division personnel. They are enveloped in a layer of Yin Qi, and the power circulating within them is extremely similar to Yin Spirit power. However, they are not Yin Division personnel; in fact, they are a group that the Yin Division has always sought to eradicate completely.
However, spirit masters have always remained hidden, and coupled with the special relationship between spirit masters and Guardian Yin Spirits, their cultivation speed is equivalent to double that of other cultivators. Their growth is remarkably fast, making it difficult to completely eradicate them.
Therefore, to this day, there are still many spirit masters in the world. However, due to the strong crackdown by the Yin Division, those spirit masters who still exist keep an extremely low profile and rarely show themselves.
But the young man before them, who looks only sixteen or seventeen, is an exception. Not only is he not low-key at all, but he is also extremely arrogant in front of Yang Haoran, a member of the Night Watch.
The young man’s inquiry about Yang Haoran’s opinion is merely a formality. As soon as he finishes speaking, he shifts his gaze away from Yang Haoran and looks at the skin ghost kneeling beside him.
Seeing his appearance, it seems that whether Yang Haoran agrees or not, he has no interest whatsoever and cannot influence his decision.
Being ignored like this, Yang Haoran’s smile doesn’t falter, but the chill in his heart gradually intensifies due to the young man’s words and actions.
“Although it’s only a Half-Step Evil Spirit, it’s still pretty good, much stronger than undead.”
Watching the weak skin ghost kneeling on the ground, the young man’s face shows a satisfied expression, completely treating Yang Haoran as if he were invisible.
“So, are you interested in becoming my Guardian Yin Spirit? As long as you agree to sign a contract with me, you can get many things, such as, I can take you away from here, and I can also make you stronger in the future.”
The young man’s words make the skin ghost somewhat tempted, but he doesn’t immediately agree. Instead, he looks to Yang Haoran beside him.
This scene causes the smile on the young man’s face to stiffen for a moment. He feels as though he’s being looked down upon by the skin ghost before him, which makes him feel quite displeased, and a cold smile appears on his face.
“Let me tell you, if you’re really taken back by him and put into the Soul Gathering Bead, then you will never be able to reincarnate again. Although you’ve become a Half-Step Evil Spirit, I believe you must have devoured many undead and even harmed living beings. With your actions, it’s impossible for you to have another chance at reincarnation. The only outcome left for you is to have your soul dispersed!”
The effect of these words is much better than the previous ones, as the skin ghost trembles upon hearing them, fear evident on his face.
The young man is quite satisfied with the skin ghost’s reaction and continues speaking, “Let me introduce myself. My name is Du Xiao. This time, I’ve come out to find powerful ghosts to contract with in order to complete my apprentice mission. Although you’re somewhat weak, you can still barely meet my standards. As long as you sign a contract with me and become my Guardian Yin Spirit, I will have successfully completed my apprentice mission. From now on, I will be a true Spirit Medium! As for you, I will find more souls to feed you, making you stronger. I can assure you that as long as you become my Guardian Yin Spirit, it won’t be long before you become a true Evil Spirit!”
The skin ghost is even more tempted now. This time, he doesn’t look at Yang Haoran’s reaction again but gazes at Du Xiao with fiery eyes because he has already made his decision.
He didn’t want to be dragged into the underworld, nor did he want to end up with his soul dispersed. Du Xiao’s temptations were quite enticing to him. He knew that after signing the contract, he would likely be subject to certain contractual restrictions, but that was still better than having his soul dispersed.
Moreover, souls were too delicious to him. Ever since he first devoured undead, he had fallen in love with that sensation, enjoying the deliciousness that never came out, relishing the rapid increase in his own strength.
Thinking about being able to devour even more souls in the future, the skin ghost couldn’t help but nod slightly at Du Xiao, his eyes filled with longing!
If the skin ghost weren’t in his current predicament, he would definitely not pay attention to Du Xiao in front of him. But now he had no choice. If he were taken away by Yang Haoran, he would most likely end up with his soul dispersed. However, if he followed Du Xiao, the situation would be completely different.
He knew exactly how to choose.
Du Xiao laughed heartily, feeling extremely happy. Although he didn’t find the skin ghost’s choice surprising, he still felt a great sense of accomplishment when the skin ghost knelt before him and nodded.
“Since you’re willing, then things will be easy from now on. I…”
Before Du Xiao could finish, his shoulder was lightly tapped a few times, followed by a very discordant voice.
“Um… young friend, hold on a moment.”
The one who spoke was none other than Yang Haoran, who had been completely ignored by Du Xiao standing on the side.
Upon hearing Yang Haoran call him a friend, Du Xiao’s expression immediately turned ugly, as if he had been stepped on the tail like an angry cat, and his emotions suddenly became agitated.
“Friend? Who are you calling an friend? I’ve just turned sixteen this year, you old man. Have you ever seen a sixteen-year-old friend?”
Du Xiao didn’t like it when others mentioned his age. Whenever someone did, he felt like they were mocking him. That’s why his emotions became so agitated, and he even directly referred to Yang Haoran as an Old Man.
Yang Haoran’s smile didn’t falter; he continued speaking with a smile, “That’s how children are. They always want to grow up quickly, but once they do grow up, they yearn for the times when they were young and want to go back. It’s quite contradictory.”
Du Xiao’s face became even more displeased, but instead of diminishing, his anger grew stronger. He looked at Yang Haoran disdainfully and said coldly, “Stop feeding me chicken soup. Let me tell you, I’ve decided to take this Half-Step Evil Spirit. If you try to stop me, don’t blame me for being impolite.”
Seeing Du Xiao’s fierce appearance, Yang Haoran couldn’t help but sigh and shook his head with a smile, seeming to be sighing about something.
At this moment, Yang Haoran was indeed sighing. He was sighing about why the Charm Soul Technique hadn’t been triggered by the young man before him. If the Charm Soul Technique had been triggered, things would have been much easier next, but without it, there would most likely be a fight coming up.
Of course, Du Xiao had no idea what Yang Haoran was thinking at the moment. He saw Yang Haoran shaking his head there, pretending to be deep, and his anger suddenly burned like dry firewood.
“Don’t pretend in front of me. People from your Yin Division have always been at odds with us spirit masters. Whenever we meet, it’s always a confrontation. But I have important matters to attend to today, so I don’t want to argue with you, this temporary worker. If you’re sensible, hurry up and leave while I can still control my temper. Otherwise, I won’t be polite!”
Facing Du Xiao’s threat, Yang Haoran’s smile didn’t fade. He calmly said, “Although you can still control yourself, sorry, I can’t. Since that’s the case, as your elder brother, I won’t be polite first.”
As soon as these words fell, before Du Xiao could react, Yang Haoran slapped him across the face.
This slap directly stunned Du Xiao. Before he could react, Yang Haoran kicked him directly in the abdomen.
This kick wasn’t an ordinary kick; it was a kick enhanced with Yin Spirit power. The entire foot was enveloped in dense Yin Qi, and with one kick, it dispersed the Yin Qi around Du Xiao’s body, sending Du Xiao flying out like a shrimp!
