Anger

The Drought Demon Corpse King gripped Zheng Yangrui by the head and lifted him as easily as if he were a chick.

Bright City Park.

Several thousand of Bright City's finest sons had all fallen.

Only the commander of the Bright City Spectral Guard remained...

The red hood beside the Drought Demon Corpse King wore a disdainful expression.

"Commander Zheng, you shouldn't have come back!"

"The Corpse King and I had already planned it out. After killing all the Spectral Masters in Bright City Park, we would leave Bright City."

The red-hooded figure spoke mockingly.

"Yet the three of you insisted on coming back to throw away your lives!"

"You even wasted so much of the Corpse King's and my time."

"How could the Corpse King and I possibly have gone into the city to kill the remaining Spectral Masters?"

"We only have six hours!"

"Commander Zheng, I'll ask you one last time..."

"If you're willing to join the Ghost God Cult, I'm willing to recommend you." The red-hooded figure spoke solemnly. "The Ghost God Cult is quite fond of talents like Commander Zheng."

Commander Zheng was barely clinging to life. He used every ounce of strength he had to pry open his drooping eyelids. "Humanity will prevail..."

Crack—

The Drought Demon Corpse King exerted force with his left hand and snapped Zheng Yangrui's neck.

The Corpse King casually threw the body onto the ground.

The red-hooded figure spat on Zheng Yangrui's corpse and cursed in a strange, mocking tone.

"You ungrateful dog."

Then, with a fawning expression, he said to the Drought Demon.

"Corpse King, may I take the heads of these three with me?"

"I can exchange them for rewards when I return to the cult's base."

The Drought Demon Corpse King looked at the red-hooded figure with disgust, his voice sinister. "You may!"

The red-hooded figure casually found a weapon from the ground.

He cut off the three heads, then found something to tie them around his waist.

The Drought Demon Corpse King watched coldly from the side. It did not understand what value the dead could possibly have. However, it still needed the red hood to lead it to the Ghost God Cult's wilderness base.

Otherwise, with its strength only recovered to the eighth rank of Disaster Soul,

it would be easily surrounded and killed by the human experts of the Eerie Continent.

Ghosts could grow stronger and recover their strength by killing humans.

That was one of the reasons ghosts and the humans of the Specter World were mortal enemies.

Once the red-hooded figure had finished everything,

he carried the three heads and nodded at the Drought Demon Corpse King. The next second, one man and one corpse vanished from where they stood.

Clang!

A sharp sound tore through the air.

The Drought Demon Corpse King was simply too fast, while the red-hooded figure barely managed to keep up by using all kinds of strange items to enhance himself.

Just as they were about to leave Bright City Park,

the Drought Demon Corpse King suddenly sensed,

the auras of three weak humans not far away.

The red-hooded figure also sensed that something was wrong with the Corpse King and asked, "Corpse King, what is it?"

"There are three humans nearby. Shall we kill them along the way? We won't get another opportunity this good." An intrigued expression appeared on the Drought Demon Corpse King's terrifying face.

"I obey the Corpse King's orders." The red-hooded figure still spoke as though the Corpse King's command was supreme.

Then,

one man and one corpse changed direction...

They sped toward the three humans.

"Glasses, do you think we'll be assigned to the same class?"

As they traveled, Pei Qi curiously asked questions to ease the atmosphere.

"Probably." Glasses tightened his grip on the girl's hand. "Besides, even if we aren't put in the same class, we're applying to the same university and the same major. Wouldn't that mean we can see each other often?"

"It's a deal, Glasses!" The girl's pure, flawless smile left both Xin Yang and Glasses staring blankly.

"By the way, Brother Yang, which university do you want to apply to?"

"Take a guess."

"Big brother, I don't want to guess. Just tell me." Li Keqing said with a giggle.

"I'll choose Glory University."

In truth, Xin Yang had long since made up his mind. During this month since arriving on the Eerie Continent, he had not spent every day doing nothing.

He had carefully looked through a great deal of information about the four universities.

Xin Yang had discovered that Glory University suited him best. After all, he had two companion ghosts within him. The two companion ghosts were independent ghosts, and their strength increased separately.

For example, Dreamsource Ghost had already reached the second rank of Disaster Ghost. If he deliberately revealed Dreamsource Ghost, Xin Yang's strength would also be at the second rank of Disaster Ghost.

However, his Little Black Ball ghost was only at the first rank of Disaster Ghost. Therefore, when Xin Yang used the Little Black Ball ghost, others could only detect him as being at the first rank of Disaster Ghost.

"Glasses and I want to apply to Nether Soul University, for the Strange Potion Manufacturing major."

A curious look appeared on Xin Yang's face, but the three of them did not slow their steps.

"Why do you want to study Strange Potion Manufacturing at Nether Soul University? None of the majors at the four universities charge tuition."

"Brother Yang, Keqing and I are both from rural villages around Bright City, and our family circumstances aren't very good. I heard that this year, rural applicants to Nether Soul University's Strange Potion Manufacturing major receive a bonus."

"And after graduating from Strange Potion Manufacturing, we can work for potion companies or the Weird Potion Administration." Glasses explained awkwardly.

"It's fine. Just do what you want to do!"

Before his words had even faded,

a sharp sound tore through the air.

A man in a red hooded trench coat and a terrifying ghost suddenly appeared before the three of them.

There was no time to react!

The Drought Demon Corpse King gathered ghostly energy in its right hand.

In an instant, Li Keqing's body seemed to lose all control as she flew toward the Corpse King.

Very quickly, Li Keqing was controlled by ghostly energy and brought before the Drought Demon.

The Drought Demon lightly placed a finger against Li Keqing's forehead!

Pitch-black ghostly energy coiled around the Drought Demon Corpse King's body. Its muscles were horrifying, and sharp teeth lined its mouth one after another.

Faced with the Drought Demon, trembling did not begin to describe Li Keqing's feelings. Before this ghost, all she could think of was how to escape. She did not have the slightest thought of fighting it.

Bang—

"Please, don't hurt her." Glasses fell to his knees before the Drought Demon. "I'll do anything you want. You can even kill me. Please, don't hurt her."

"Human, do you care about her that much?" The Drought Demon looked down at Glasses from the corner of its eye.

"Please, don't hurt her, I..."

Before he could finish speaking,

the Drought Demon lightly tapped with its finger.

A bloody hole instantly appeared in Li Keqing's forehead.

The red hood was smiling.

That smile...

was like someone seeing something they liked.

Li Keqing fell backward.

Glasses's mind went blank!

A moment later...

"AAAAAH!"

"You... you... killed Pei Qi!"

Glasses howled in gut-wrenching agony.

Crying...

He charged at the Drought Demon like a madman.

He did not hesitate in the slightest.

He clumsily used a ghost skill.

"No..."

"Don't go..."

"Don't go!"

Xin Yang screamed himself hoarse.

He wanted to stop Glasses.

But it was already too late.

The Drought Demon clenched its right hand.

Powerful ghostly energy crushed Glasses apart before he could even reach it!

Flesh and blood sprayed everywhere!

Fresh, warm blood splashed across Xin Yang's stunned cheeks...

It splashed into his eyes...

His heart felt as if it were being carved by knives...

An emotion called rage was spreading.

The protagonist began to transform!
