Your elders must have taught you, right? Power is everything; I can see from your eyes that you also want this,\" the old spirit eagerly spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We should not waste any more time and quickly form a contra—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? Why would I form a contract with you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oliver interrupted as he sneered at the old spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at his eyes which carried endless disdain, the old man was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He again asked, \"What do you mean? Don't you understand the benefits? Should I repeat them for you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard you loud and clear. No need to repeat that all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then why!?\" the old man cried out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First of all, there's no way I am going to form a contract with an old man such as yourself. Had it been a beautiful spirit, I might have considered, but there's no way I am going to make one with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the fuck! That's Ageist!\" The old man rebelled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"….\" Oliver\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyways, I am not going to do it. Call me what you want, the second reason is you underestimating for an oblivious fool.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What does that mean?\" the old man frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly what it sounds like. You want half of my espera as payment? Are you kidding me? A spirit never asks anything in return for forming a contract.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oliver scoffed as he pointed at the man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are no spirit. At least not anymore. You are a deception. A ghost specifically trying to imitate a spirit, but too bad, the foul scenery ahead; no spirit would ever do that when offering a contract.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You thought that I was naive and weak who had never seen a spirit before. But too bad for you, your cheap act of imitating a spirit was not even close to how a real spirit would be, hahaha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oliver laughed out aloud in the eerie silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When did you realize this?\" the old man asked in a low voice as the scenery behind started to flicker slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Humph. The moment you sensed the so-called great power within me. I am the weakest person among my peers. I don't know how a demonic being like you entered this forest but you made a huge mistake targeting this place as this shall be your grave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to Oliver's arrogant words, the old ghost slowly turned angrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old ghost's eyes went back to recall how he had ended up in this accursed forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>______________\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old ghost was actually not a messy small ghost but instead a powerful demonic ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been assigned at the borders to slaughter exorcists, but he was surrounded and gravely wounded by some pesky exorcists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He somehow used every bit of his remaining espera to escape. However, he could only enter the territory of exorcists due to being surrounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The exorcists were persistent and followed behind him. They chased after him madly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using their annoying exorcism methods, they somehow figured out his traces and pursued him like mad dogs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was not even given a moment's worth of rest to recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being in an unfamiliar enemy territory with a group of dangerous exorcists following behind. He was given a run for his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He, who would eat two exorcists for breakfast daily, was now being hunted down by the same exorcists and he was powerless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to recover some of his espera if he even wanted to counter them or escape from this place infested by bugs called humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he continuously ran around, he somehow found this rich and dense forest with tall ancient trees. Without thinking much, he entered inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not because it was a good spot to hide but because he was smelling the presence of real spirits inside this forest; if he could somehow get his hands on one and eat it, not only would he recover back to his peak but might also have a breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spirits were one of the best nutrition for demons such as himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when he reached the place inside the forest where the smell was originating from, he was frustrated to find that the spirit was sealed behind an ancient statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the statue was guarded by a strange array restriction that he dared not approach due to ominous espera nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed a physical body if he wanted to try and decipher the espera and break inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to possess a body for that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how could he even find a human body in this place, not to mention how would he even control the human given his weak espera at the moment that was still recovering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was then that he sensed multiple powerful presences near the forest entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cursed as he feared that his pursuers have found him and reached here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But upon closer look, these people were different. He could tell from their aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were a bunch of old humans with some children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those old humans were extremely strong; he would not survive if he fought with them or if they sensed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The forest was a good place for blocking senses; he was quite far from them too. Using a good concealment technique special to ghosts like him, he was able to hide himself from their senses for the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He eyed the children and he had to admit that they smelled delicious. His mouth was salivating as he sensed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If only he could devour them and possess one of them to break the array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spirit inside the statue was dormant; he could easily consume it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, not only would he kill those pursuers of his but also devour this forest and its resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But those children were constantly under the watch of those old powerful humans; he dared not approach them in case they sensed him and exorcised him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the time being, he could only wait patiently for them to separate and find a chance later to possess one of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he waited, he noticed them mingling with each other and fighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at these childish battles, he could not help but feel disdain; these human children were nothing in front of their demon youngling with powerful bloodlines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could easily kill them with a few punches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He patiently waited as they finished up with their things one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>",1084,"2026-06-10T06:20:28.087Z",1,"novelbin.me","e5874e38b5fba04b77444dd0b1d9b58e8841ad46ddb42ec64be59cb532257f68","obtaining-10x-rewards-reincarnated-into-a-novel--chapter-110","obtaining-10x-rewards-reincarnated-into-a-novel--chapter-108",316,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fobtaining-10x-rewards-reincarnated-into-a-novel--cover.jpg"]
