Newcomer Bloodline

Whether they are ghosts, spirits, vengeful spirits, or malevolent entities, regardless of whether they are Eastern or Western in origin, they are essentially a species that exists by relying on negative energy.

Precisely because of this, their weaknesses are remarkably uniform:

Positive energy.

Such as things that are vigorous and unyielding! And this can be further subdivided.

In classic Chinese supernatural fiction, there are often rumors that ghosts and spirits dare not approach the vicinity of living bodies with robust vitality, especially those of generals or slaughter-hardened killers; a surge of blood-evil aura can easily annihilate demons and monsters. Incidentally, the profession of a butcher also gained a mysterious reputation because of this.

Therefore, minor ghosts and painted skins only dare to prey on weak, sickly, widowed scholars, sneaking in to suck away their yang energy...

"Life force is standard positive energy."

To be honest, Fang Xiu wasn't particularly worried. At the very least, his newly strengthened power system perfectly aligned with the next trial. He calculated silently in his heart, "In other words, Yang Release can restrain evil spirits!"

Of course, this does not mean that positive energy completely suppresses negative energy one hundred percent of the time; it is a case of "as the devil grows one foot, the Tao grows ten."

Just as water can extinguish fire, a large enough fire can evaporate water; there is no absolute relationship of suppression between the two.

If one were to speak of something that truly counters negative energy entities, it would have to be lightning...

In Taoist belief, the Ministry of Thunder, with the Thunder Ancestor Nine Heavens Responding to the Origin Thunder Sound Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable as the Main God, often uses heavenly thunder to act on behalf of the heavens!

Thunder techniques, which condense the power of the most yang and most unyielding, are the nemesis of all yin and evil things in the world.

Sometimes, when an evil entity hides under a tree, the arrival of heavenly thunder results in a Thunder-Struck Jujube Wood.

If this tree happens to be a jujube tree, it becomes the magical material known as Thunder-Struck Jujube Wood—because it is the essence born from the intersection of the heaven, earth, yin, and yang qi, struck by the heavenly thunder among the five thunders of heaven, earth, water, gods, and society, it retains magical energy.

"Main God, search for Super Electromagnetic Soul Armor!" As his thoughts turned, Fang Xiu suddenly thought of a relevant exchange from the derivative novel Death's Beginning, manufactured by the technology of the Three-Eyed Race, the protagonist species of the negative universe, specifically designed to damage soul bodies on a technological level.

"No such exchange found."

The reply was as swift as ever.

After receiving the negative answer, Fang Xiu didn't feel disappointed at all; he had too many means to counter the supernatural side.

Even the Sharingan, with its high-quality Yin Release power, had nothing to fear from ghosts! However, for a Ghost King with monstrous ferocity capable of causing fluctuations in time and space, a simple Three-Tomoe wouldn't be enough to take it down... He would have to rely on the Mangekyō! A simplified Sage Body, paired with the two instant-cast ocular techniques of the Mangekyō Sharingan, high durability, high recovery—advancing in the form of a Gundam!!

"Once I finish arranging the enhancements for the newcomers and help them exchange for valuable items, I will return to my private space to complete my lineage promotion."

Fang Xiu had always possessed strong executive power. After making up his mind, he looked at his teammates, who were discussing the plot while re-watching An Eternal Combat, and went straight to the point:

"The next dungeon belongs to the supernatural side. I can offer some suggestions regarding enhancements."

"Of course, the choice is up to you all."

In an instant.

The scene went quiet.

The projector playing the footage was also paused.

"I have one C-rank side quest and two thousand reward points."

Clearly positioning himself as a follower, with obedience as his main priority, Tang Tian spoke up immediately, eagerly saying, "Boss, arrange it however you like. I will absolutely obey."

"..." Fang Xiu.

After a moment of silence, he used his captain's authority to quickly search for the corresponding item and projected it.

A small coin appeared.

It looked like a standard one-yuan coin, except one side was imprinted with a lightning bolt, and the other featured the side profile of a young girl. "Summoning of the Railgun, rating 81 points, a one-time item. Using this item summons a phantom of the Railgun Girl, delivering a powerful blow to the target within a ten-meter range!"

"A double-D-rank one-time consumable attack item, requiring two D-rank side quests and eight hundred reward points."

"Investing so many resources for a single critical hit will definitely unleash power that transcends tiers."

Undoubtedly, this type of offensive item had nothing to do with the trial-taker's own strength. If used by a novice, as long as the timing was perfectly grasped, it was not impossible to take down a veteran.

"Therefore, no matter how powerful the Ghost King is, if it is hit by this railgun, it will definitely be injured."

"According to the contribution principle, if you can survive until the final return, the Main God will grant you a certain reward."

As he spoke, Fang Xiu added, "With the remaining D-rank side quest, exchange for a basic lineage that interests you, or traditional qigong, to strengthen your physical fitness."

"Once the side quests are used up, use the remaining few hundred reward points to get some one-time malicious amulets, Spirit Bullets, and other supplies."

[Primary Lineages]

[Low-level Mutant Spider Lineage, from the 'Marvel' series, requires one D-rank side quest, 800 reward points. This lineage is applicable to most plot worlds.]

[Degraded Orc Mutant Lineage, from the 'Warhammer 40,000' world, requires one D-rank side quest, 1200 reward points. This lineage is applicable to most plot worlds.]

[Low-level Mutant Werewolf Lineage, from the 'Underworld' series, requires one D-rank side quest, 1000 reward points. This lineage is applicable to most plot worlds.]

[Primary Mutant Ghost Hand Lineage, from the 'Dungeon & Fighter' system, requires one C-rank side quest, 1500 reward points. This lineage is applicable to most plot worlds.]

Densely packed and dazzling.

Just as he said before, Fang Xiu only provided suggestions and used his authority to project items that met the newcomers' purchasing power, helping them save time.

Who gets to decide? I walk my own path! Not long after Fang Xiu finished speaking, Tang Tian suddenly extended his hand, formed a "six" gesture with his fingers, and tapped lightly toward two different spots.

Immediately, two shimmering beams of light shot out from his wrists one after another, and the other three newcomers watched as massive spider webs flew out.

Primary Spider Sense.

Primary Cliff Climbing.

Primary Tough Silk Spinning.

Having awakened three superpowers in succession, with his vision, strength, and agility also seeing an increase, Tang Tian, who had initially become a superhuman, immediately gained quite a bit of confidence, especially after he exchanged for a single coin...

"Hahaha, the electric light dancing between your fingers is the undying faith of my life!"

Fang Xiu was speechless: "..."

Lightning Release.

For the next period of time, besides awakening the Mangekyō and adapting to his surging power, he also had to find a way to delve into the profound mysteries of this type of ninjutsu; if he couldn't develop Chidori, he would lower the difficulty and explore other paths instead.

While he was deep in thought, a roar came from his side.

Emir, the middle-aged man from the Middle East, was becoming increasingly burly, as if he could no longer suppress his primal beastly instincts, letting out violent and ferocious low growls that grew longer and longer, making one involuntarily think of the wolf howls echoing from the depths of a dense forest at night.

At the same time, dense, pale wolf fur sprouted from his pores.

Crack, crack, crack—the sound of bones breaking and stretching continued incessantly, and his face, twisted in pain, also underwent a transformation; his chin and nose bridge protruded forward, and two pointed ears emerged from his temples.
