Rune Power

The Master of the Board chuckled, "A woman who can drink that much is truly rare."

Wu Hai Jianren reminded him, "Be careful, Master. The dark energy that erupts from a person is often hidden. You don't know the other party's identity, so you must be cautious."

The Master of the Board didn't care, waving his hand. "It's fine. I'm good at reading people. She's not human."

Suddenly, the golden-haired woman's lips curved into a playful smile. "Oh? I'm not a 'suspect,' am I? I'm a special investigator, the thirteenth daughter of Ji."

Wu Hai Jianren said, his eyes flashing with a hint of curiosity, "Oh, it's her."

Jia Ruyizi and Xia Buqun also smiled mysteriously. Nineteen-year-old Ji looked at the reactions of the two elders with some interest.

"You know my business? I'm surprised you still have a good impression of me."

The Master of the Board opened his mouth. His voice was a hundred percent pleased.

"You are that special investigator, the thirteenth daughter of Ji, who doesn't accept official appointments and only knows how to wander around outside the academy all day. Ji, you are truly..."

Ji heard him, and a hint of helplessness flashed in her eyes.

"I'll just say it. Gao Tan, I really don't want to bother with him anymore. Why bother with that guy who's always trying to break through?"

"Your third sister is the investigator chosen by the academy."

Ji carefully examined the three people, Jia Mu Fang, Wu Hai Jianren, and Xia Buqun.

She had already learned some information about the three from Gao Tan's mouth. All the elders in the academy recommended him to be the special investigator, which was something she had always wanted.

Ji also thought it was a good thing. Since they were all busy, she naturally agreed to let the elders try.

But what she didn't expect was that when she finally saw Jia Mu Fang and the other two, her heart was completely stirred.

Because when she was with Jia Mu Fang and the other two for a moment, even though she was already a special investigator, she could still feel a shocking pressure.

It was the pressure of a strong physique.

There was no need to wait for him to perform his investigative skills. Ji had already recognized it. The strength of these three people was enough. Some people's strength was not weaker than hers.

When all the elders were gathered, the special investigator's activity was about to begin.

As the elders sat down, the tense atmosphere in the entire investigation hall instantly became tense and solemn.

Jia Mu Fang, Ji, and Xia Buqun stood in the center of the investigation hall. They were all a little nervous. It wasn't because they were performing in the academy, but because they were called by each other.

The investigation process was clear. Each person needed to show their own strength, and then the investigator would cast their votes based on the performance to determine whether they had the qualifications of a special investigator.

Normally, except for the special investigator who was particularly outstanding, the thirteenth daughter of Ji was the only one who could investigate the special investigator's qualifications.

However, the special investigator didn't have that much luck. Moreover, the elders also wanted to know the strength of Jia Mu Fang and the other two, so they changed the plan.

Because the investigation plan was for the academy, it could be changed at will.

The first person to undergo the assessment was Xia Buqun. He walked to the center of the hall and quickly tied his hands, activating his investigative technique.

In an instant, a terrifying dark energy erupted from Xia Buqun's body, covering and pressing down. All kinds of ghosts and spirits emerged, instantly filling the entire investigation hall.

These ghosts were numerous and varied. Some were like fierce beasts, while others were like fluttering spirits.

The entire hall was like a ghost realm, and Xia Buqun was like the king of ghosts, standing in the center of the hall.

All the ghosts were kneeling before him, as if he were the ruler of this world.

These ghosts were countless. Ji also seemed to be able to see them.

The ghosts of the second and third investigators were innumerable. Even the ghosts of the first investigator were not few.

The ghost power they emanated made the entire investigation hall tremble.

"If these ghosts were to charge up, even I would have to avoid them."

Ji's voice echoed in the hall, her eyes filled with admiration for Xia Buqun's strength.

"Even if it can be dispelled, it's still amazing. The ghosts summoned by Xia Buqun are simply thousands of high-level investigators. Once he finishes, his ghost power will be exhausted."

The other investigators in the world also showed their own investigations, and some even found that Xia Buqun was just an ordinary investigator who had already used methods like illusions to overwhelm them.

But it seemed that Xia Buqun had no intention of stopping. He continued to summon ghosts, and more ghosts emerged from the abyss.

At this time, the elders of the competition stopped. He had already recognized Xia Buqun's strength.

As more ghosts were summoned, they were all afraid to move their legs and run away.

It was just that this kind of spiritual power was already shocking enough, not to mention the terrifying ghost power that followed, making him feel like he was suffocating.

The Master of the Board and Wu Hai Jianren stood together, looking at Xia Buqun's astonishing strength.

The Master of the Board's eyes were filled with admiration. "This is Xia Buqun's strength, right? It's really amazing!"

The young man's gaze deepened, "Indeed. I'm ashamed I can't avoid this to a greater extent."

His heart held both respect for the Great Elder's power and a trace of his own undisguised fear.

The Great Elder's display of power had already solidified his unique and esteemed position. Next, all eyes turned to Wu Ling.

Wu Ling smiled faintly, "There are many things to say. I'll gesture with my hand, like a sword's light, shooting directly at the opponent."

That beam of light erupted, piercing through the sky and earth, directly piercing the opponent's chest, as if a god had struck.

"Wu Ling's 'sword' form is also something few people know."

The twenty-year-old's eyes flashed with light.

"'Sword' form. 'Cut'. And 'Shield' form. 'Block'. These three forms, combined with the summoned 'sword', possess the power to even cleave the void."

"The powerful destructive force is enough to eliminate any opponent."

Looking at the energy wave that had just appeared, a trace of coldness couldn't help but rise in his heart.

He imagined that if the summoned attack landed on him, he would truly be in danger.

"Wu Ling's 'sword' form is also quite lethal."

In the young man's eyes, a trace of light flickered, and he unconsciously felt a sense of admiration.

The young man's gaze deepened, "If all of the Great Elder's summoned 'swords' stood in a row, I estimate they could all be solved, but the Great Elder's 'sword' would not directly end it."
