You return first, I’ll notify you to come down after it’s settled,” said Wu Heng directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hancai hesitated, then spoke, “I’ll have the train ready, just in case it’s not that smooth. If so, come back quickly and we’ll leave directly by train.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright!” Wu Heng agreed, and Qi Hancai made her way back to the train.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked into the waiting hall, flashlight in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xiao also flew over, her tone anxious, “Aunt Glenda caught a ghost, over there, hurry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So there really was a ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“On the second floor, there are stairs over there,” Xiao Xiao pointed to one side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng quickly went upstairs with the flashlight illuminating his way,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and soon saw Glenda in one of the shops, together with another half-transparent, wild-haired, ferocious-faced ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snarling with fangs bared, ceaselessly shrieking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But its body seemed to be wrapped in an invisible force, unable to leave its spot regardless of how it threw itself against the barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was one of Glenda’s abilities, called Soul Binding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could impose a restraint effect on a soul target, limiting its mobility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Lundham City, it was with this skill that Glenda trapped Xiao Xiao, who was scouting out the situation, in the basement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only when Wu Heng arrived that she was released.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After assessing the situation on the scene,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he cast [Dancing Light Skill] casually, illuminating the space under the ceiling light where they were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he quickly walked over, and Glenda flew towards him, “An inferior ghost unable to communicate. It has only retained the instinct to attack the living.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm, where did you find it?” Wu Heng asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right here, I’ve got her under control,” Glenda looked again at the frenzied ghost, “What do you want to do with it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just absorb it,” said Wu Heng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glenda nodded, “Okay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xiao, hiding behind Wu Heng’s shoulder, curiously asked, “What kind of absorption?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The advancement of a ghost, one aspect of which is the absorption of one another,” explained Wu Heng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This point was recorded in both the Book of Necromancy and the Mage’s Manuscript.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The devouring and absorption between ghosts can lead to gaining the other’s energy or inheriting abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I don’t know how,” said Xiao Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let your Aunt Glenda teach you, just follow and learn,” he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, okay!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng glanced at the ghost and asked, “Xiao Xiao, check its level.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xiao stared and said, “It’s close to level 5.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then just absorb it. Glenda, take care of Xiao Xiao,” Wu Heng instructed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay!” Glenda nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Releasing the binding force, the ghost broke free instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It disregarded Glenda and lunged straight for Wu Heng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glenda blocked its path, flying head-on into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two ghosts collided, mixing together like merging whirlpools, entangling each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then a voice echoed, “Xiao Xiao, come over here quickly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xiao glanced at Wu Heng, “Uncle, remember to save me if it gets dangerous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, she too charged forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, three balls of energy tangled together, it was evident that two of them were constantly eroding the third.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About ten minutes or so passed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and the ghost separated from the vortex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The ghost has advanced to level 7, constitution +2, perception +1, charm +1.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The ghost has advanced to level 11, constitution +1, intelligence +1.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, it leveled up.\u003C\u002Fp>",1254,"2026-05-30T04:42:23.945Z","2026-06-01T04:30:19.980Z",1,"novelbin.me","fd11c571b5f844fccd585c8c89eecb548db33685da2571e5bcdb9b37486cef30","the-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-chapter-515","the-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-chapter-513",1714,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-cover.jpg",{"terms":25,"userReplacements":26},[],{}]
