I Want to Fight Ten

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

During this time, no ghosts or malevolent spirits appeared.

The entire cemetery's tomb area was exceptionally quiet, with only the sounds of small animals audible.

Lu Yibai didn't feel flustered or scared by being in the tomb area; he genuinely wasn't afraid of ghosts at all.

Didn't the Lion Umbrella have a ghost inside? He was still carrying it around.

In a secluded corner of the tomb area, a simple small flat was built, specifically for newcomers Night Watchmen to rest.

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

Not to mention they had to cultivate every day.

The small flat was rather basic, but fortunately, the facilities were quite complete, lacking nothing, much like a single room in a small hotel.

As soon as Lu Yibai opened the door to the small flat, he heard a faint, ethereal male voice say, "Welcome."

But the small flat was empty!

It was like walking into a haunted house!

And this was the cemetery's tomb area!

Scary as hell... not!

Boss Lu felt no fear in his heart; he was even a little annoyed.

His mouth twitched, and he thought to himself, "Damn it, haven't seen you for a few days, and you're already messing with me again!"

Besides the ghost in the Lion Umbrella, who else could it be?

Boss Lu was getting kind of used to this guy now.

He decisively injected a portion of the small light points within him into the Lion Umbrella. The Yang energy inside the Lion Umbrella strengthened slightly, and the ghost was sealed even tighter.

Although Lu Yibai was still weak, the ghost suppressed by the Lion Umbrella could utilize even less of its power, allowing Lu Yibai to easily suppress it.

Perhaps it was because the cemetery had abundant Yin energy, which made it more active, and that's why it could come out for some air.

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

These actions couldn't even pique his interest in interacting with it; he should just strengthen the seal.

No time to deal with you, I'm busy being awesome.

He set the Lion Umbrella aside and began to cultivate.

In most novels, cultivation requires "wealth, dharma, companions, and location."

The cultivation of Night Watchmen isn't that complicated.

Especially the lineage Lu Yibai was currently learning.

Simply put, Night Watchmen cultivate by absorbing the so-called "spiritual energy" between heaven and earth. Yes, a rather cliché setting.

Spiritual energy can be simply understood as a layer of mist invisible to ordinary people. Since it's mist, there are naturally differences in different areas.

Some places are richer, while others are thinner.

Places with richer spiritual energy are beneficial for the cultivation of Night Watchmen; they can be considered sacred grounds for cultivation.

The cemetery, the spiritual energy was as thin as "Okamoto 001."

It was all ghost energy and Yin energy, making the cultivation efficiency extremely low.

Fortunately, the "Menstrual Pain" that Lu Yibai's lineage cultivated didn't require much spiritual energy.

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

Anyway, the main focus was on Body Refining, which could be cultivated anywhere. Even so, Lu Yibai's cultivation efficiency was still two-tenths lower than before, showing just how harsh the cultivation environment in the cemetery's tomb area was.

After completing a small circulation, Lu Yibai let out a long sigh.

The light points in his body were almost coalescing into a glowing palm.

Although he didn't know if others' energy light points were also this peculiar, it at least represented that he was not far from becoming a second-tier Night Watchman.

The day the glowing palm took shape would be the day Boss Lu advanced to the second tier.

This feels so lame!

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 off.

His brow furrowed, he picked up the Lion Umbrella placed in the corner and walked out.

He didn't expect to encounter a Ghost煞 on the very first night.

He wasn't sure if this was good luck or bad luck.

He gathered the small light points in his eyes and soon saw a mass of gray-black gas in mid-air.

The gas was very strange, and from time to time, it would sprout faces that resembled human mouths, as if struggling, as if wailing.

Black energy also swirled around the "mouth," like threads of black silk being inhaled.

Lu Yibai couldn't find the right words for a moment, but it was something like this: (`)

It was incredibly ugly and an assault on the eyes.

A Ghost煞 was essentially just an aggregation of ghost energy and yin energy, possessing a weak form of self-awareness.

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

Yes, all it knew was to ravenously consume the surrounding ghost energy and yin energy.

However, if it were allowed to continue eating like this, the entire area would be engulfed by it.

To put it mildly, the feng shui would become very poor, but in reality, it was serious; it could very well nurture a large number of Fierce Ghosts.

Without any hesitation, Lu Yibai grabbed the Lion Umbrella in his hand and swung it at the Ghost煞 in mid-air.

Basic Umbrella Technique, [Sweep].

Large streams of light points surged into the Lion Umbrella, and the tip of the umbrella flashed with a crimson light, like a flame burning the world.

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

Two masses of gray-black gas tried to coalesce again, but the Yang energy and firelight they came into contact with prevented them from gathering.

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

What the hell, there's a move like that?

Boss Lu didn't believe it and swept the Lion Umbrella again, passing through the middle of the two Ghost Fiends.

Well, they became four.

The most significant thing was that these four Ghost Fiends were like idiots.

Their state was: If you want to hit me, go ahead and hit me, hit me however you want, just don't disturb my eating.

They continued to rapidly absorb the surrounding yin energy and ghost energy. Even after being forcefully split twice by Boss Lu, they completely ignored him.

Boss Lu frowned, feeling it was a bit tricky.

They couldn't be killed by hitting them, and they even multiplied.

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

You like to eat so much? I'll let you eat!

Lu Yibai raised the Lion Umbrella and swept towards the black threads the Ghost煞 was absorbing into its "mouth."

The flame-like umbrella tip directly burned through each black thread, and where the black threads had been, tiny specks of crimson light flickered, like sparks from a lit cigarette.

The crimson light, carrying the Yang energy of the Lion Umbrella, was absolutely the nemesis of Ghost煞.

They weren't afraid of being scattered; they could always absorb ghost energy to reform. But now their "mouths" were destroyed, how could they absorb anything?

So, they became very angry.

Yes, the four Ghost Fiends were no longer like the little idiots drifting aimlessly in mid-air; for the first time, they showed a bit of the appearance of malevolent ghosts.

Waves of black energy churned and struggled, lunging towards Boss Lu.

"Pfft—" Lu Yibai opened the Lion Umbrella, and all four Ghost煞 slammed into the umbrella's surface.

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

Ghost煞 could split, allowing you to adjust the difficulty yourself!

If you felt four weren't enough of a challenge, then make it eight.

If eight were no problem, then sixteen!

Of course, you didn't have to double them; splitting them one by one wasn't impossible either.

You could try to test your limits!

Ghosts weren't strong, but even the best boxer can't fight two opponents at once. When their numbers increased, they became quite terrifying, capable of honing combat skills.

Of course, you had to be realistic and not overestimate yourself; otherwise, you'd be playing with your life.

A person's physical body carried Yang energy, but their soul carried Yin energy. Ghostly miasma could devour you completely.

With four Ghost Fiends, Lu Yibai felt no pressure.

Boss Lu estimated his general level and then quietly uttered a domineering line from the movie Ip Man:

"I want to fight ten!"
