Shen Huaiyue's face turned bright red upon hearing her sister's words.
Bang, bang, bang.
Flustered, she raised her hand and smacked her sister's back several times.
"Nonsense! Utter nonsense!"
"What on earth are you thinking about in that head of yours!"
"You want to try the bamboo stick special again, don't you!"
Shen Huaiyu raised her hands to block her sister's slaps and quickly apologized.
"Sis... Sister, I was wrong, stop hitting me!"
"Hmph! Go back to your room and take a bath!" Shen Huaiyue said calmly.
Shen Huaiyu pouted and reluctantly shuffled her feet.
Shen Huaiyue also followed her.
After buying some food, they returned to the hospital.
As soon as they opened the door, they saw Mo Qinghuan struggling to get up.
Su Luo rushed forward and helped Mo Qinghuan sit up properly.
"Principal Mo, you shouldn't move around so much if you haven't recovered yet."
Just then.
Mo Qinghuan's stomach suddenly let out a growl.
"I'm starving," Mo Qinghuan said weakly.
Su Luo immediately understood that Mo Qinghuan probably hadn't eaten yet.
He unwrapped the food and handed it to Mo Qinghuan.
Mo Qinghuan looked like she was truly starving.
She devoured a rice ball in two bites.
Su Luo served her until she was full and satisfied.
Then he helped her lie back down on the bed.
"Su Luo, you've been serving me very well."
"Why don't you give up being a Special Recruit and become my secretary instead?" Mo Qinghuan chuckled.
"You want the future strongest person in the world to be your secretary?"
"You've got quite the imagination," Su Luo said while peeling an apple.
Mo Qinghuan let out a cute, playful hum.
"Hmph."
"Don't be too sure of yourself, student Su Luo."
"It's good to be confident, but you must never be arrogant."
He handed the peeled apple to Mo Qinghuan.
"Yes, yes, yes, everything Principal Mo says is right."
Mo Qinghuan took the apple and rolled her eyes at Su Luo.
"Principal Mo, I've told our Dean of Studies, Wang Yue, about my impending Special Recruit status."
"She admires you greatly and wants to meet you. What do you think?" Su Luo asked calmly.
"No," Mo Qinghuan said immediately.
"Okay," Su Luo nodded.
Then, the two fell into silence.
Finally, Mo Qinghuan couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going to ask me why?"
"You've already said no, and I don't want to go against your wishes," Su Luo replied.
Hearing this.
Mo Qinghuan smiled with satisfaction.
"However, I can give her an autographed signature. Can you give it to her for me?"
She picked up a piece of paper, quickly scribbled her name, and handed it to Su Luo.
Su Luo took it and put it away.
He also took out his phone.
And added Mo Qinghuan's contact information.
The two spent the night without further incident.
On the third day of Mo Qinghuan's hospitalization.
Su Luo, who was in class, felt his pocket vibrate and received a message.
He took out his phone and saw it was a message from Mo Qinghuan.
"I'm discharged and back home. The Special Recruit notice will be with you soon. See you in college!"
Su Luo's lips curved upwards slightly, revealing a smile.
"See you in college," he murmured.
Time flew by, and it was suddenly Saturday.
Even though he was already a Special Recruit, he was still short on money and Crystal Cores.
To advance the Devil Fruit Tree, a large number of high-level Crystal Cores were needed.
This first advancement alone required five Tier 2 Crystal Cores.
Who knew how many Crystal Cores the next advancement would need.
So, while he had time, He hurried to save some money to buy Crystal Cores later.
After a day of hunting, He only managed to get a little over twenty Level 1 Crystal Cores.
Not a single Tier 2 Crystal Core.
The yield from the outer areas of the Tiger Roar Mountain Range was truly decreasing.
This made Su Luo feel a bit anxious.
"I should go deeper."
At night, he set up a tent in a clearing.
He crawled into his sleeping bag, closed his eyes, and was just about to fall asleep.
He suddenly felt the surrounding temperature plummet.
Confused, he opened his eyes.
He exhaled, and could see steam rising.
What was going on?
Was the temperature difference between day and night in the Tiger Roar Mountain Range this significant?
Just as Su Luo was about to pull his sleeping bag tighter and go back to sleep, He inadvertently caught a glimpse through the tent's small window. It looked like someone was standing there.
He thought he was hallucinating from sleepiness.
He rubbed his eyes and looked at the small window again.
Indeed, there was no one there.
He immediately relaxed.
Suddenly, a zipper sound echoed, Startling Su Luo, who was about to fall asleep.
He sat up, his eyes wide, staring at the tent entrance.
He saw that the tent zipper, for some reason, had been pulled open a little.
Su Luo's internal alarm bells went off.
In this wilderness, the probability of encountering other humans was practically zero.
The temperature inside the tent also dropped to freezing at that moment.
His eyes scanned the surroundings.
Something had definitely entered his small tent.
And possibly more than one thing.
He held his breath and focused.
Silently, he released Gravity around him.
A scream rang out beside Su Luo's ear.
He condensed Vibration Power in his right hand and swung it fiercely behind him.
A transparent ghostly figure was shattered by Su Luo's punch, dissipating on the spot.
Seeing this, Su Luo's pupils contracted sharply.
There really are ghosts!
He rolled out of the tent and surveyed his surroundings.
A tenfold gravity slammed down around him instantly.
It forced the cloaked ghost shadows into their true forms.
Scattered around, there must have been dozens of ghosts.
All of them were pinned to the ground by the gravity, unable to move.
As Su Luo continued to apply gravity, more and more ghosts were crushed and dissipated.
Without the ghosts, the temperature around him began to rise steadily.
Until the very last ghost was punched into oblivion by Su Luo.
He looked around curiously.
He couldn't understand why creatures like ghosts existed.
Suddenly.
A mighty tiger's roar echoed from the depths of the mountains.
Su Luo turned and headed back into the tent.
He grabbed his phone, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and took off running.
Nothing else was important.
He could buy new things if he lost them.
Using his Paw Ability, he pushed off the air beneath his feet.
This allowed him to move at high speed.
Not long after Su Luo left.
A giant, completely black tiger suddenly descended from the sky like a cannonball.
With a BOOM, it flattened a swathe of trees.
Roar~ Roar~
It lowered its head and looked at the tent where Su Luo had been staying.
It twitched its nose and sniffed.
It discovered that no one was there anymore.
It let out a roar to the sky!
Furious, it swung its paw and smashed the tent flat.
With that done, it listlessly turned its head.
It padded into the deep mountain forest like a cat.
A group of ghost shadows surrounded it, following the giant tiger as it left.
Su Luo stood at a distance, his heart still pounding.
He looked at the mountain forest that had been flattened by the giant tiger.
"That must be the Level 7 Exotic Beast, the Ghost Controlling Dark Tiger, that Mo Qinghuan mentioned."
"No wonder it's called the Ghost Controlling Dark Tiger. It controls these kinds of Ghost Companions."
"And those Ghost Companions were probably people it killed, transformed."
Thinking this.
A terrible thought suddenly crossed his mind.
The Shen sisters' parents had disappeared in the Tiger Roar Mountain Range.
What if they had been killed by the Ghost Controlling Dark Tiger and transformed into Ghost Companions!
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
But until he could confirm the truth.
He decided it was best to keep his mouth shut.
Having even a sliver of hope was better than having none.
He memorized this location and decided not to come back here easily.
Now that he had no camping gear, he had no choice but to return to the city.
If you can't find the book by its title, you can try searching for the author. Perhaps the name has been changed!
