Chapter 78: Ghost Demon
[Ding! the Blue Cultivation Talent pool has been expanded.]
A system notification sounded.
Zhao Hao looked at it in surprise. The Qing king held the crescent sword and tried to pull it out of his hand.
“This shouldn’t be. How can a Blue Talent allow someone to reach Level 9?”
The cultivation simulator could extract the cultivation talent when touching a person or object.
!!However, Zhao Hao thought it through. It was probably the crescent sword in the hands of the Qing king. It was also an antique, so it was normal to extract the talent.
When the Qing king saw that he couldn’t take out the crescent sword, he opened his mouth wide and black tentacles shot out of his mouth toward Zhao Hao.
“F*ck! So disgusting…”
Zhao Hao looked at the tentacles with black saliva and tried to suppress his disgust. His palm immediately tightened, and the crescent sword was crushed.
Zhao Hao’s figure instantly moved backward and dodged the attacks of the disgusting tentacles.
“Croak, croak, croak!”
Zhao Hao, who had flown far away, suddenly heard the croak of a toad coming from where the Qing king was. He turned his head and could not help but be stunned.
It was a toad the size of a millstone with colorful bumps all over its body. It opened its mouth wide and retracted its tongue.
“How did he turn into a toad!?”
Zhao Hao didn’t understand. He had never seen such a strange scene.
Luckily, Zhao Hao had the Illusion-Breaking Divine Eyes. He used the ability to check the toad’s attributes.
Name: Aisin-Gioro Dorgon (Prince Rui)
Race: Ghost Demon
Cultivation: Late-Stage Nascent Soul
Description: The Prince-Regent of the Qing dynasty. He was powerful in his generation and was well-versed in both literature and martial arts. Emperor Shunzhi plotted against him, and he died during a hunting trip. Because he had dealings with his mother’s clan and viewed them as political threats, Emperor Shunzhi whipped his corpse. Then, he ordered a few Daoists to capture a 1,000-year-old venomous toad and seal it in his grave to torture its soul day and night.
: For various reasons, Dorgon’s ghost and the 1,000-year-old venomous toad merged into one, turning into a Ghost Demon that is rarely seen in 10,000 years. He possesses late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, but his real battle prowess is comparable to a Soul Formation cultivator.
After reading the introduction, Zhao Hao couldn’t help but feel a hint of admiration. His Illusion-Breaking Divine Eyes were really awesome. If he willed it, he could even solve many historical mysteries.
However, the ghost demon in front of him was indeed powerful. To be evaluated by the Illusion-Breaking Divine Eyes as ‘He possesses late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, but his real battle prowess is comparable to a Soul Formation cultivator’, his cultivation talent must be monstrous.
After all, Zhao Hao had five Red Talents. He was an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator and could fight against a peak-stage Soul Formation cultivator.
The big toad could have a Red Talent as well.
Zhao Hao’s eyes shone with excitement. He didn’t expect to receive unexpected rewards from a mission.
The giant toad pointed its head at Zhao Hao in the air and let out two fierce cries. Its figure instantly disappeared, and when it reappeared, it collided with Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao was sent flying several hundred meters. Fortunately, he had the Golden Light Curse protecting his body and wasn’t injured.
[Ding! the Gold Cultivation Talent pool has been expanded.]
“What an evil creature! A sneak attack! I couldn’t dodge!”
Zhao Hao was furious. Seeing that he had only collected a Gold Talent, he was even more dissatisfied. Then, he circulated the Spiritual Qi and flew toward the big toad.
‘With the blessing of the Mahayana Holy Body, I, Zhao Hao, have never been afraid of close combat.’
The two shadows kept on colliding in the air, sometimes colliding and sometimes splitting apart.
After colliding dozens of times, Zhao Hao calmly tidied up his white robe.
Meanwhile, the giant toad had already fallen to the ground. It was covered in wounds, and venomous blood was flowing out of its body. It was so dead that it could not die anymore.
“I need to wear gloves in the future. This was a really disgusting to encounter.”
Zhao Hao shook his hands, which were not stained by any liquid, and sighed.
Soon, a few military vehicles arrived. It was Bai Bing who had rushed over with many paranormals.
“Bring this big toad back and study it. I think we’ll be able to figure out something by combining ghosts and demonic beasts.”
After saying that to Bai Bing and the others calmly, Zhao Hao turned around and flew toward Jinling City.
Zhao Hao already knew that Ma Zhuisheng had finished off the big black bear on Mount Changbai and was now heading toward Shennongjia.
Therefore, there was no urgent task for Zhao Hao to handle at the moment.
Zhao Hao now needed to find a quiet place to carry out his cultivation simulation.
The cultivation simulator’s cooldown time had finished again, and he could also extract his sixth cultivation talent.
Zhao Hao flew all the way to the top of the city wall of Jinling, and he immediately saw Kong Xinyue, who had been looking into the distance.
Kong Xinyue was very excited when she saw Zhao Hao, and she jumped and shouted, “Master, here!”
Zhao Hao shook his head helplessly as he flew toward Kong Xinyue. At first, Zhao Hao had been worried about Kong Xinyue’s safety, so he asked Bai Bing to protect her. When the army of oddities was destroyed, Zhao Hao went to chase after Dorgon, and Bai Bing escorted Kong Xinyue back to Jinling City.
“Why do your family members trust you so much?”
Zhao Hao looked at his disciple and couldn’t help but feel a headache. Although Kong Xinyue was very beautiful and outstanding, her pestering ability was also first-class.
“My father heard that I was with you, so he didn’t tell me to go back. Master, are you going to chase me away?”
Kong Xinyue felt a little wronged. Tears could be seen in her big watery eyes.
The Kong family must have known that Zhao Hao accepted Kong Xinyue as his disciple. Given the Kong family’s power, they must be aware of Zhao Hao’s real strength.
Naturally, the Kong family was very interested in recruiting a genius who had already reached the Nascent Soul realm at such a young age.
Kong Xinyue’s status was special. If something happened between her and Zhao Hao, then Zhao Hao would definitely be a great help to the Kong family in the future.
Therefore, the Kong family was very taciturn in this matter.
Helpless, Zhao Hao could only bring Kong Xinyue to the residence that Bai Bing had prepared for him.
Zhao Hao enjoyed luxurious treatment due to his rank. Even though he had to stay in this city until they dealt with the aftermath, he had a separate villa with many soldiers guarding it.
Zhao Hao asked Kong Xinyue to go and play or something while he entered his bedroom and activated the cultivation simulator.
“System, activate the Cultivation Simulator.”
[To enable the simulation, you may select only three of the following Cultivation Talents.]
Seeing that there were no Red Talents, Zhao Hao couldn’t help but feel a little regretful. However, when he saw one of the Gold Talents, Zhao Hao’s eyes couldn’t help but light up!
