Wang Lang watched this transformation scene, enough to scare an ordinary person into wetting themselves on the spot.

Not only was he unafraid, he even spat in disgust.

"Bah! You demon, if you're going to transform, couldn't you turn into something prettier? You're so ugly you've sullied my eyes! Take this!"

Before his words had even faded, he charged forward again, swinging the Town Mountain Tin Staff in a full arc with a howling gust of wind.

He smashed it viciously at the female ghost's newly transformed, hideous head!

This time, a faint layer of golden radiance shimmered over Wang Lang's body.

It was the Grand Intent derived from the purple trait Intentional Blast Punch!

Although opportunities to accumulate Grand Intent had become fewer and fewer over the past year as his body had grown increasingly powerful,

he had still built up quite a stockpile during the period after first obtaining this trait.

At this moment, empowered by Grand Intent, the strength and speed of his strike,

as well as the Town Mountain Tin Staff's innate ability to vanquish evil, were all greatly enhanced!

Having just finished transforming, the female ghost had been about to unleash her ferocity and tear this hateful brat to shreds. She had never expected his attack to be so decisive and swift!

She hurriedly raised her claws to block.

Boom!!

The tin staff collided with ghostly claws, erupting with a dull, thunderous crash.

The female ghost felt an unimaginable force crash into her.

She screamed miserably. Her newly condensed ghost claws were nearly scattered on the spot,

and her entire soul body was sent flying backward, smashing down several nameless grave mounds before she barely managed to stabilize herself.

She stared at Wang Lang in utter horror. This brat cultivated both qi and the body? How could he be this powerful at such an age?

"Aren't you good at transforming? Come on! Keep transforming!"

Holding the Town Mountain Tin Staff, Wang Lang walked step by step toward the unstable female ghost.

"With that little strength, you wanted to eat me? If you were in the Spirit Condensation Realm, I might fear you a little. But now..."

Before he could finish, it was as if something had caught in his throat, and his footsteps halted instantly.

The scattered yin energy around the female ghost not only gathered again, but became even more vast and solid!

Behind her, a massive amount of yin energy surged together wildly, faintly outlining a terrifying phantom several zhang tall, with a blue face and savage fangs!

Though the phantom was still blurry and unstable, the pressure it emitted descended like something tangible!

A dharma manifestation! The hallmark of the Spirit Condensation Realm on the path of qi cultivation!

Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Lang turned around and ran for his life!

"You little bastard! You ruined my place! Insulted my looks! And you still want to run?"

"Let's see where you can run to! Today, this Ten Thousand Souls Tomb will be your burial ground!!"

Merging with that blurry dharma manifestation, the female ghost's speed surged. Wrapped in a sky-filling gale of yin wind, she pursued Wang Lang relentlessly.

"Once I catch you, I'll suck you dry of all your yang energy, then turn you into a ghost slave and torture you every day!"

"And that tough hide of yours will be perfect to skin off and use as a drumhead!"

Wang Lang turned a deaf ear, merely charging left and right through the densely packed grave mounds in an attempt to shake her off.

But after merging with the dharma manifestation, the female ghost's strength had soared. She was far faster than him, and the distance between them rapidly closed.

Sharp ghost claws, carrying bone-piercing cold, struck from behind again and again.

Several wounds deep enough to expose bone instantly appeared across Wang Lang's back, blood gushing from them,

but they were quickly corroded by yin energy, sending piercing pain and icy cold through him.

Beyond that, he could also feel his Grand Intent being passively accumulated at an accelerated pace.

Just as the female ghost pounced again, her claws aimed straight for his heart from behind,

Wang Lang abruptly hurled the Little White Fox in his arms toward a relatively intact patch of graves off to the side.

"Su Yao! Hide yourself!"

The Little White Fox tumbled through the air and landed rolling, waking up at just that moment.

The instant she saw the terrifying ghostly dharma manifestation, all her fur stood on end. Obediently, she turned and fled, darting deep into the forest of gravestones.

Yet she did not dare stray too far from Wang Lang. She hid behind a large gravestone and watched anxiously.

At the same time, Wang Lang had practically become the female ghost's living target.

Without any advantage in speed, and slightly distracted after throwing Su Yao aside, he was instantly enveloped by the female ghost's dharma manifestation phantom.

Ghost claws and blasts of yin wind poured down like a torrential rain.

Yet Wang Lang not only failed to dodge, he instead spread his arms wide and welcomed the entire barrage.

Behind the gravestone, the Little White Fox Su Yao watched Wang Lang teetering beneath the storm-like assault, blood spraying continuously from his body.

Just as she was about to rush out and help draw the female ghost's attention, a sudden change occurred!

Wang Lang, who had been pinned down and beaten the entire time, seemingly without any ability to fight back,

had only been surrounded by faintly circulating golden light. But now, it suddenly blazed fiercely like flames that had been set alight!

The golden radiance illuminated his entire body, making him seem like a golden-bodied arhat!

The effect of the Intentional Blast Punch trait: all damage endured by the body could be converted into Grand Intent!

When Grand Intent erupted, it could massively amplify the next attack!

Wang Lang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, feeling the immense power within him that was nearly overflowing.

He could not help throwing back his head in laughter, his voice shaking the four directions. "Old ghost hag! That last beating... felt pretty good, didn't it?!"

He took one step forward, and the ground trembled faintly.

The aura around him soared wildly, making him seem like an entirely different person!

For the first time, the female ghost's dharma manifestation revealed incredulous terror in its crimson eyes.

"Y-you... how can your physique be so tough?!"

She was beginning to doubt her entire ghostly existence!

She had been certain that under that barrage just now, even a human qi cultivator in the Spirit Condensation Realm,

or a Body Refinement martial artist in the Bedrock Realm, would have had their flesh torn apart long ago without a protective treasure.

But this brat had not only endured it head-on, he even...

How the hell was his aura getting stronger the more he got beaten?!

Wang Lang did not answer. He merely wore a kindly smile as he dragged the Town Mountain Tin Staff toward the female ghost.

The female ghost, who should have held an absolute advantage after merging with the dharma manifestation, involuntarily drifted one step back.

Wang Lang advanced one step, and she retreated another.

The enormous dharma manifestation was actually forced into retreat step by step by the aura of a tiny human!

She shrieked in terror, "Don't come any closer!!!"
