Huang Qingshan's mouth twitched, and he cursed with a laugh, "Kid, how did you cultivate? This speed of improvement, did ghosts run into you and you automatically leveled up?"
As he spoke, Huang Qingshan was filled with emotion. He finally understood why Zhang Wei's test results were so astonishing. Was this what genius looked like? It seemed Zhang Wei's ranking on the Potential New Star list would be advanced again. And this time, he might even break into the top ten. That represented the pinnacle of Da Xia's younger generation.
"Since Zhang Wei, you've reached the Qilin Guard level, I don't have to worry anymore. I don't think the Senluo Division would send a Ghost King to kill you, would they?" Huang Qingshan joked heartily.
Following that, Zhang Wei asked Huang Qingshan about the current situation in the Northeast. He learned that the incident in the Northeast was still unresolved. It was discovered that the Senluo Division was behind it, but they couldn't find them.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Wei glanced in the direction of the school again before driving away.
...
That night.
Three in the morning.
Xiamen City University, male dormitory.
At this moment, looking at Li Junfei, who was fast asleep on his computer desk, Fatty couldn't help but laugh and cry, "You said you'd stay up all night playing together, and you fell asleep first."
After bidding farewell to Zhang Wei, they returned to the dormitory to play. They played until past three o'clock. Li Junfei couldn't resist the fatigue and dozed off while waiting in the League of Legends queue.
Afterward, Fatty found a piece of clothing to cover Li Junfei. Seeing him snoring soundly, he figured he wouldn't wake up anytime soon. Fatty murmured with a smile, "It's good that he's asleep. I can go take care of some things."
Fatty picked up his umbrella and walked to the balcony. When he reappeared, he was already holding his umbrella, walking on the night road, and slowly disappearing into the darkness.
...
Xiamen City.
An abandoned sewer.
Ghostly figures flickered everywhere. They were ghost infants and ghost children, their numbers so vast that it made one's scalp tingle. In front of them stood a ferocious-looking ghost infant. Its skin was like charcoal, emitting a burnt smell, and its body exuded rolling yin energy, its ghostly aura soul-stirring. Even an ordinary person would know that this ghost was terrifying at a glance. This was a ghost formed from an infant who was burned to death by its family due to a deformity. Its resentment was extremely strong, and it was only a step away from becoming a Ghost King.
At this moment, the terrifying ghost infant's face was grim, "All dead?"
Not long ago, one of the ghost infants under its command was killed. Upon learning that it was a ghost exorcist, the terrifying ghost infant decided to retaliate. However, the ghost exorcist named Zhang Wei was not there. It thought the matter was over, but today it learned that Zhang Wei had returned. Moreover, Zhang Wei had gone to a crowded comic convention. The terrifying ghost infant, without a second thought, ordered a large number of ghost infants to go there to kill Zhang Wei, and incidentally, kill everyone at the convention. This was because it was about to become a Ghost King and wanted to emulate the Iron Coffin Zombie of Fengmen Village from years ago, using the lives of everyone at the convention to help it take that step towards becoming a Ghost King.
It thought it would go smoothly, but by evening, it still hadn't received any news of the ghost infants it had sent out. After some inquiries, it learned that they were all dead.
"That damned Zhang Wei, I will never let him go!" The terrifying ghost infant's resentment surged. Zhang Wei not only caused him the loss of a large number of ghost infants but also hindered his path to becoming a Ghost King.
The more he thought about it, the more enraged he became. The terrifying ghost infant looked at all the ghost infants, "Go find out where Zhang Wei is. I want to kill him... Who's there?!"
As soon as he uttered this word, he suddenly seemed to sense something. The terrifying ghost infant's pupils constricted, and it abruptly looked towards an entrance of the sewer. Not only it, but all the ghost infants felt it at this moment, and they all looked towards that sewer entrance. Although they were ghosts, at this moment, they revealed expressions of horror, their trembling unmasked.
At the entrance of the sewer, yin energy permeated and rolled, as if winter had arrived, filled with chilling frost. That yin energy was too powerful. Just a trace of it, when felt by them, made their souls tremble with fear.
A top-tier red-clothed vengeful spirit? No! A Ghost King?!
As the yin energy permeated, it was followed by the sound of footsteps from the sewer entrance.
Da da da.
The sound of footsteps came from the sewer entrance. Instantly, under the gaze of all the ghost infants, a胖子 holding a sun umbrella emerged. One could see that his skin was fair, his appearance could be described as kind, and he had a smiling face, but the surging yin energy emanating from him made all the ghost infants know that he was no ordinary胖子, but at least a... Ghost King!
The terrifying ghost infant was horrified. It never expected a Ghost King to appear in its territory. At this moment, Fatty's voice reached them. The胖子, holding his sun umbrella, pinched his nose and complained, "It's so smelly here. You say you're all villains, why are you so uncool? Finding a sewer as your base? Sigh, you've really disgraced the reputation of villains."
As he spoke, the terrifying ghost infant's face darkened, "Who are you?" The horror of the胖子 made it lose the mood to care about his mockery. It only knew that the other party was clearly here for them.
Facing the question, the胖子's sun umbrella tilted slightly, and he looked up at the terrifying ghost infant. The next moment, he disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already in front of the terrifying ghost infant, and he raised his hand, grabbing the terrifying ghost infant by the neck and lifting it up. No matter how the terrifying ghost infant struggled or used its ghostly arts to resist, let alone break free, it couldn't even damage the hem of the胖子's clothes.
All of this happened too quickly. In just a blink of an eye, by the time all the ghost infants reacted, the terrifying ghost infant was already in the胖子's grasp. This scene made all the ghost infants tremble with fear. The terrifying ghost infant was their boss! They were very clear about their boss's strength. It was just a step away from becoming a Ghost King, and its strength was such that even a Ghost King couldn't so easily crush the terrifying ghost infant. But now, the胖子 was simply holding the terrifying ghost infant, a complete crushing!
"You... Ah!!!" A piercing scream began, and then abruptly stopped. The terrifying ghost infant died. It was crushed to death by the胖子, its body exploding and turning into a sky full of ghost energy. At this moment, the胖子's voice echoed leisurely. "You ask who I am? Don't you know the saying that villains die from talking too much? I'm not answering who I am, idiot."
As he finished speaking, the胖子's gaze swept over all the ghost infants. This glance made all the ghost infants tremble. They were too terrified, knowing the胖子's power. They knew they couldn't possibly escape, so they could only kneel there and beg for mercy. Fortunately, the胖子 only glanced at them. He left, leaving behind a sentence: "Your uncool villainous faction, disband from today onwards. You're too embarrassing for villains. Oh, right, I forgot to mention the important thing... Don't you dare provoke Zhang Wei. That's the person I want to kill."
...
The next day, in the early morning, as the first rays of sun rose.
At this time, in Wenling City, in Qian Chengping's rural hometown.
A Wuling Hongguang drove into the village.
