Chapter 177: Cave of Ten Thousand Ghosts

Lin Chao stretched, found a very comfortable position, and then did not move again.

On the platform, the teacher chattered on and on without stopping.

Lin Chao had not expected that he would still have to attend classes after transmigrating, just as he had before.

"With less than a month until Awakening Day, you must not be restless, nor should you think you are the chosen one.

The probability of Awakening is extremely low; there isn't even one in ten people, and perhaps only one in a hundred.

Among the students present, I would thank the heavens if even one of you could Awaken.

Therefore, you should study just as you did before!

Even if you cannot get into the Transcendental Academy, ordinary universities are also very important for you."

In this world, the probability of Supernatural Awakening is very low, not even one in a hundred.

This is very similar to Immortal Cultivation; after all, even Beginner Immortal Cultivation requires aptitude.

What the teacher said was very realistic.

Transcendentals are, of course, the highest class.

However, even among ordinary people, there are high and low levels.

Some have power, some are wealthy, while others cannot even afford to raise their children.

Beside him, Lin Chao's desk-mate Fang Yuan wore a distressed expression: "Feng Yan, do you think the two of us can Awaken?"

"It depends... on your face."

"Why look at the face? Does Supernatural Awakening really depend on one's looks?

Feng Yan, you are handsome, but you are also too shameless." Fang Yuan laughed loudly.

Naturally, he did not know that when Lin Chao said it depended on the face, he actually meant it depended on luck.

Although everyone used Daxia Language, there were still many differences in the usage of the language.

No, in this world, this language is called Jing Language.

"If we are talking about looks, then indeed, only you and I in the class can Awaken." Fang Yuan stroked his chin, incomparably narcissistic.

Beside them, a girl with baby fat turned around: "Fang Yuan, you are too narcissistic.

Feng Yan is handsome, but what does that have to do with you?"

"How am I not handsome?"

Lin Chao watched the two of them argue, as if he had returned to his school days in Daxia.

That they could now attend school and argue, he feared, was bought with the blood of countless others.

In his heart, Lin Chao thought of Jian Yi and thought of the Clones.

Fang Yuan turned his head, ending the argument: "Awakening as a Supernatural is too difficult; I estimate neither of us has much of a chance.

Sigh, Feng Yan, your grades are good. After you graduate, I will invest in you to start a company, and we will make a lot of money!"

Fang Yuan's family had some assets; he could be considered a rich second generation.

Lin Chao smiled: "Aren't you afraid I'll swindle all your money?"

"We are good brothers, how could you possibly swindle me?" A smile appeared on Fang Yuan's youthful face.

At fourteen years old, the evil are evil enough, and the good are good enough.

Lin Chao did not speak again, quietly enjoying the peaceful life in the classroom.

As Awakening Day drew closer, the big exam was also imminent.

Most of the people in the class were somewhat restless.

After all, Awakening as a Supernatural meant a rise in class and a sudden increase in status.

However, these were not within the scope of Lin Chao's thoughts.

The day ended quickly, and Fang Yuan called out to Lin Chao: "Feng Yan, do you want to go to the internet cafe together to play the Black Luo Battlefield?"

Lin Chao shook his head: "No, you guys go play."

Lin Chao's life was very regular and also very dull.

Every day, it was just repetitive cultivation or killing demons.

This kind of life might be dull and boring to others, but to him, having experienced three thousand years of continuous fighting with his spirit highly strained, this life was instead very relaxed and casual.

Walking on the street, watching children holding balloons, adults walking in a hurry, and love in the eyes of couples.

Lin Chao always felt, is this where the charm of life lies?

"Brother-in-law, if my sister knows we are this intimate, won't she be angry?"

Of course, there was also a different kind of charm.

Lin Chao watched the two who walked past, his thoughts calm.

"Black Robe, this is Young Master Feng Sidao." The Spider president wore an unchanging smile on his face.

"Greetings, Young Master Feng." Lin Chao's voice was loud and clear, with a very unique tone.

Today was the agreed-upon day to help Feng Sidao contract a Ghost.

After receiving the notification, Lin Chao arrived at the meeting point.

Including Lin Chao, there were five people here.

Three from Spider, one Feng Sidao, and an old man who should be a clansman of Feng Sidao.

"I have troubled you all today." Feng Sidao was polite and refined, without the arrogance of those from wealthy families.

"Young Master Feng, we also want to see the legendary Ghost." A burly man spoke; he was very tall, a full two meters, and he was the second-best expert in Spider, Dun Shan.

Mentioning Ghosts, everyone present felt some apprehension.

Demons, Devils, Ghosts, and Monsters—the further down the list, the more terrifying and powerful they become.

A Ghost is a creature even more terrifying than demons and monsters combined.

Fortunately, however, Ghosts are not hostile toward humans, nor do they have any conflicting interests with humans, so a peculiar balance can still be maintained between humans and Ghosts.

At this moment, the old man beside Feng Sidao spoke: "The place we are going to this time is the residence of a branch of the Feng Family."

"What?" The Spider Guild Leader's expression changed slightly.

More than a decade ago, the Ge'en City branch of the Feng Family was wiped out, causing a shock in Ge'en City, and even in the province.

At that time, many powerful Transcendental descended upon Ge'en City to investigate the truth.

In the end, the incident of the Feng Family residence massacre gradually subsided.

It was just that the investigation results were something people of their level could not access.

Some said the Feng Family residence was backlashed by Ghosts and subsequently destroyed.

Some said the Feng Family offended a big figure, learned things they shouldn't have, and were silenced.

There were all kinds of rumors.

Precisely because of this, the current Feng Family residence has long become a taboo; no one dares to go there.

"The Feng Family residence, wouldn't that be a bit too dangerous?" Dun Shan's voice was hesitant.

Feng Sidao's expression was calm: "Actually, the destruction of the Feng Family branch at that time was related to a demon.

Now, that demon has long since left, and the Feng Family residence is actually very safe."

Hearing that it was a demon, Dun Shan breathed a sigh of relief.

If it were a demon, the higher-ups would certainly dispatch people to wipe it out.

After all, humans and demons can be considered mortal enemies.

"Everyone, please follow me," Feng Sidao said.

The group boarded a car and slowly drove toward the Feng Family residence.

The location of the Feng Family residence was relatively remote, and the main road was overgrown with weeds.

Ever since the Feng Family was wiped out, the Residents near the Feng Family residence had long since moved away, and the area was sparsely populated.

"Beneath the Feng Family residence, there is a Ten Thousand Ghost Cave.

Inside the Ten Thousand Ghost Cave, there are hundreds of Ghosts, both large and small."

Feng Sidao spoke, and his first sentence shocked the Spider Guild Leader.

One must know that even the weakest Ghost is comparable to a Third Tier Transcendental.

And in Ge'en City, the Third Tier Transcendental combined did not even number the count of two palms.

How could one not be shocked that Ge'en City actually had hundreds of Ghosts?

Fortunately, these Ghosts had not caused any trouble.

Otherwise, with the strength of the Spider, even being ten times stronger would not be a match for the Ghosts of this Ten Thousand Ghost Cave.

Feng Sidao continued: "The reason our Feng Family arranged a branch here was precisely to monitor the Ten Thousand Ghost Cave.

Fortunately, the Ten Thousand Ghost Cave forms a small area of its own, and the Ghosts inside do not like to go out, so they have not caused any trouble to this day.

I have come here this time to contract a Gold Attribute Ghost."

"Gold Attribute? Are Ghosts divided by attributes?" Lin Chao asked casually.

His body also flowed with the bloodline of the Feng Family, which meant he could also form contracts with Ghosts.

Naturally, he wanted to understand more information regarding Ghosts.

In this regard, Feng Sidao certainly possessed a great deal.

Feng Sidao glanced at Lin Chao: "Ghosts are generally divided into five attributes: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.

Each attribute of Ghost has its own special function.

Of course, beyond these five attributes, there are other attributes of Ghosts, but they are few, and their strength varies."

"So that's how it is," Lin Chao nodded.

"The Ghost I want to contract is of the Gold Attribute, its strength is Fourth Tier, and its potential is quite good.

In a moment, what I need you to do is stand outside the Ten Thousand Ghost Cave holding the Gold Wood specially crafted by our Feng Family to attract the appearance of the Ghosts."

The Gold Wood specially crafted by the Feng Family has an inexplicable attraction to Gold Attribute Ghosts.

Therefore, Feng Sidao prepared to use the Gold Wood to fish the Ghosts out.

Fishing for Ghosts is not something everyone can do.

The special thing about Ghosts is that once they emit Ghost Qi, an Ordinary person will almost certainly die upon contact.

First-Order Transcendent and Second Tier Transcendental have no ability to resist if they touch it.

The Third Tier is a dividing line; Third Tier Transcendental are already able to basically resist ordinary Ghost Qi and not be polluted by it.

"I will trouble you all."

Feng Sidao took out a long box, which contained several pieces of golden wood.

If one did not look carefully, one would definitely think it was wood.

Beside him, the old man spoke, his voice hoarse: "When holding the Gold Wood, many Ghosts may approach you.

Do not be afraid; just stand where you are.

As long as you hold the Gold Wood, the Ghosts will not attack you.

But if you reveal any malice, the Ghosts might just start a slaughter."

"Alright," Dun Shan hesitated for a moment, then immediately agreed.

Lin Chao did not refuse either.

He took the Gold Wood from his hand and examined it closely; it looked somewhat special, appearing to be a combination of metal and wood.

Beside him, Feng Sidao looked at Lin Chao, his eyes carrying a smile: "Brother Black Robe seems very interested in Ghosts?"

Lin Chao nodded: "I have grown this old and have yet to see a Ghost, so naturally I am curious."

"A Ghost is an extremely special type of living being," Feng Sidao seemed to be recalling something, "Brother Black Robe, if you encounter a Ghost in the future, do your best not to offend it if you can avoid it. Ghosts... are even more terrifying than you imagine."
