I Want to Fight Ten

Lu Yibai lingered at his father's grave for a full half-hour before leaving.

During this time, no Ghost Fiend appeared.

The entire cemetery burial area looked exceptionally quiet, with only the sounds of some small animals audible.

Lu Yibai did not feel flustered or scared just because he was in a burial area; he truly was not afraid of ghosts at all.

Was there not a ghost inside the Lion Umbrella? He carried it around with him like this anyway.

In a remote corner of the burial area, a simple small flat-roofed house had been built, specially for Night Watchmen newcomers to rest in.

After all, although Night Watchmen possessed extraordinary abilities, they still needed to eat and rest.

Not to mention that they still had to cultivate every day.

The small flat-roofed house was rather crude, but fortunately the facilities were fairly complete and nothing was missing, just like a single room in a small motel.

As soon as he pushed open the door of the small flat-roofed house, Lu Yibai heard an ethereal male voice say, "Welcome."

Yet the small flat-roofed house was completely empty!

It was just like walking into a haunted house!

And this was a cemetery burial area to boot!

It was truly scaring to death... my ass!

Boss Lu felt zero fear in his heart, and even had a bit of lingering annoyance.

The corners of his mouth twitched, and he thought in his heart, Damn it, haven't seen you in a few days, and you're acting up again!

Apart from the ghost inside the Lion Umbrella, who else could it be?

Boss Lu was getting somewhat used to this fellow by now.

He very decisively injected a portion of the small spots of light within his body into the Lion Umbrella, strengthening the Yang energy inside the Lion Umbrella somewhat, and the ghost was sealed tightly once more.

Although Lu Yibai was still very weak, the abilities that the ghost suppressed by the Lion Umbrella could utilize were even weaker, and Lu Yibai was able to easily suppress it.

Perhaps because the Yin energy of the graveyard was relatively flourishing, it appeared quite active, and it was only by relying on this that it had been able to come out for a breath of fresh air.

Lu Yibai sometimes even suspected whether this fellow had been sealed for too long, which was why it was so bored.

These actions simply could not arouse any interest in having an interaction with it; he would just directly heighten the seal.

I have no time to deal with you, I am busy being outstanding.

He placed the Lion Umbrella aside and began to cultivate.

As written in ordinary novels, cultivation required "wealth, technique, companionship, and land."

The cultivation of the Night Watchmen was actually not that complicated.

Especially the lineage that Lu Yibai was currently studying.

To put it simply, Night Watchmen actually cultivated by absorbing the so-called "spiritual energy" between heaven and earth—hmm, a very tacky setting.

Spiritual energy could be simply understood as a layer of fog invisible to ordinary people. Since it was fog, different regions definitely had distinctions.

Some places were relatively dense, while some places were relatively thin.

Some places where spiritual energy was relatively dense were beneficial for a Night Watchman's cultivation, and could be called holy lands for cultivation.

As for the cemetery, its spiritual energy was as thin as a "Okamoto 001 condom."

It was all fucking ghost energy and Yin energy, and one could say that the cultivation efficiency was extremely low.

Fortunately, however, the "Menstrual Pain" cultivated by Lu Yibai's lineage did not actually have very high demands for spiritual energy.

After all, everyone walked the Trash Protagonist School path, so they had no right to be picky.

Since the main route walked was Body Refining anyway, one could cultivate anywhere. Even so, Lu Yibai's cultivation efficiency was still two percent lower than in the past, which showed just how atrocious the cultivation environment of the cemetery burial area was.

After one complete circulation cycle ended, Lu Yibai let out a long breath.

The spots of light in his body were truly on the verge of converging into a glowing palm.

Although he did not know if other people's energy light spots would also be so bizarrely humorous, this at least represented that he was not far from a Second Rank Night Watchman.

The day the glowing palm was forged was the moment Boss Lu advanced to the Second Rank.

It felt so low-class!

Just as he was preparing to continue cultivating the Basic Umbrella Technique, he felt that the surrounding Yin energy and ghost energy were a bit abnormal.

He raised a brow, picked up the Lion Umbrella placed in the corner, and walked out.

He had not expected that he would run into a Ghost Fiend on the very first night.

He did not know whether this should be considered good luck or bad luck.

He gathered the small light spots at his eyes, and soon saw a mass of grayish-black gas in midair.

The gas was very bizarre, occasionally sprouting things resembling human mouths that struggled and wailed.

Moreover, black gas circled around the "mouths," like strands of black thread being sucked into them.

For a moment, Lu Yibai could not find an adjective either; it probably looked like this: (`)

It could be said to be extremely ugly and an assault on the eyes.

A Ghost Fiend was actually just an aggregate of ghost energy and Yin energy, possessing self-awareness, but it was very weak.

To put it simply, it only knew how to eat.

Yes, it only knew how to frantically devour the surrounding ghost energy and Yin energy.

However, if it were allowed to keep eating like this, this entire area would become shrouded by it.

To put it mildly, the feng shui would become very bad, but in reality, it was quite severe and would very likely nurture a large number of Fierce Ghosts.

Without any hesitation, Lu Yibai picked up the Lion Umbrella in his hand and slashed it toward the Ghost Fiend in midair.

Basic Umbrella Technique, sweep.

A large surge of light spots poured into the Lion Umbrella, and a crimson light flickered at the tip of the umbrella, resembling a blazing flame that could incinerate the world.

Wherever the tip of the umbrella swept, the Ghost Fiend was immediately split apart.

The two masses of grayish-black gas wanted to continue converging, but the Yang energy and firelight they had been tainted by caused them to be unable to gather together for a long time.

Then... they simply turned into two Ghost Fiends.

What the fuck, there was even this kind of operation?

Boss Lu refused to believe it, and the Lion Umbrella swept across again, cutting horizontally right through the middle of the two Ghost Fiends.

Well, they had turned into four.

The main thing was that these four Ghost Fiends were like mentally disabled individuals.

Their state was: if you want to hit me then hit me, go ahead and hit me as you please, just don't affect me eating.

They were still rapidly absorbing the surrounding Yin energy and ghost energy, and even though they had been forcefully split twice by Boss Lu, they had no intention of paying attention to him at all.

Boss Lu's brow furrowed, and he felt it was a bit tricky.

He couldn't beat them to death, and they fucking multiplied.

For a moment, he actually didn't know where to start.

Loving to eat so much? I'll let you eat!

Lu Yibai raised the Lion Umbrella and swept toward the black threads that the "mouths" of the Ghost Fiends were absorbing.

The umbrella tip, resembling a blazing flame, directly burned away every single black thread. Where the black threads circled, a little crimson light flickered, just like a spark ignited on tobacco.

The crimson light, carrying the Yang energy of the Lion Umbrella, was definitely the nemesis of Ghost Fiends.

They weren't afraid of being scattered since they could absorb ghost energy to reform anyway, but right now their "mouths" had been smashed to pieces, so how could they suck?

Thus, they grew angry.

Yes, the four Ghost Fiends no longer resembled small, wandering mentally disabled things in midair; for the first time, they possessed a bit of the appearance of fierce ghosts.

Strands of black gas churned and struggled as they lunged toward Boss Lu.

With a poof—, Boss Lu opened the Lion Umbrella, and all four Ghost Fiends crashed into the umbrella surface.

He understood now why this place was considered an exceptional training ground.

Ghost Fiends could split, so you could completely adjust the difficulty yourself!

If dealing with four wasn't satisfying enough, then make it eight.

If eight was no problem, then sixteen!

Of course, one didn't necessarily have to double the increase; splitting them one by one was not out of the question.

One could try to test one's own limits!

Ghost Fiends weren't strong, but after all, two fists were no match for four hands; in large numbers, they were still quite terrifying, and could train actual combat ability.

Of course, one had to have some self-awareness in their heart and not put on a brave front when beaten, otherwise it would be joking with one's life.

Human flesh carried Yang energy, but souls carried Yin energy, and a Ghost Fiend could strip you clean just the same.

Against four Ghost Fiends, Lu Yibai felt zero pressure.

Boss Lu estimated his approximate level in his heart, and then softly uttered an extremely domineering line from the movie Ip Man:

"I want to fight ten!"
