Ghost Catching System-Chapter 458 - 457: That’s What I Feel Too (Part 4)_1
Even Longhu Mountain and Mao Mountain are paying attention. These guys must have nothing better to do with their time.
"Also, we’ve gathered information about Qi Zhongyu; he comes from a prominent family of Yin Yang Masters in the Dwarf Kingdom. His family has a significant influence, and they practically control over half of the Dwarf Kingdom."
Elder Yuan said, "You must be cautious about the challenge he has proposed this time."
Chu Hao: "..."
Chu Hao said, "Are you done?"
Elder Yuan felt somewhat helpless. He knew Chu Hao was a man who went his own way.
Chu Hao couldn’t help but ridicule, "Are you guys sick? Does that kind of trash really need so much attention? The Dwarf Kingdom is just an insignificant speck. Even if they control it, it’s all just a passing cloud in front of me."
Having said that, he hung up the phone.
Chu Hao had been thinking earlier about just teaching them a small lesson, but now it seemed this wasn’t something that could be resolved casually anymore.
"Since you want to play, Brother Hao will play with you."
Chu Hao looked towards Qiu Xueying and the others and said, "Do you guys really have no confidence in me at all?"
No one spoke, but Li Yin said, "When it comes to critical moments, you are reliable, but at other times, you screw up more than anyone else."
The one who understood him best was still Li Yin.
But when has Brother Hao ever failed in putting on a show? I am the King of Show-offs.
If it weren’t for you guys holding me back, Brother Hao would have already put on a spectacular show by now.
Qiu Xueying said, "Li Yin is right. Do you remember that you once livestreamed on the internet? It’s very likely that the other party has obtained all your information and therefore dares to provoke you. If you go into battle blindly, you’ll fall right into their trap."
Hearing what Qiu Xueying said, he thought there was some truth to it. The opponent must have investigated him before daring to issue a challenge. If they weren’t prepared, would they dare to livestream it? And in the Dwarf Kingdom, an authoritative broadcast at that.
Chu Hao stroked his chin and said, "You make some sense."
Everyone sighed in relief.
Chu Hao then said, "The invincible me is always so dazzling. It seems I need to deal with him magnificently."
Everyone was speechless.
So we said all that, and you didn’t listen to a word, huh?
「...」
Watching Chu Hao being taken away, Zhongjin and the others looked displeased. They had set a trap and were just waiting for Chu Hao to fall into it.
Indeed, they had researched Chu Hao, and their knowledge was comparable to what the Seventh District knew. If Chu Hao took the bait and accepted the challenge on the spot, they might be able to turn him into a servant!
Zhongjin said respectfully, "Lord Zhongyu, what should we do now?"
Qi Zhongyu’s face was indifferent, showing a confident expression as he said, "If it weren’t for someone holding him back, Chu Hao would have been caught. But with the Seal Devil Altar, no matter how capable he is, he can’t beat me."
The people from the Dwarf Kingdom had indeed come prepared. They had studied Chu Hao, whose varied and magical powers were eye-opening.
Thus, Qi Zhongyu’s arrival this time was upon his family’s order to subdue Chu Hao, bring him back to the Dwarf Kingdom as a slave, and study the Yin Yang Masters of Huaxia Country.
The Seal Devil Altar he mentioned indeed had this effect—it was a treasure capable of sealing Ghost Demons.
Qi Zhongyu said indifferently, "In that case, let’s defeat him openly and subdue him."
"Yes."
This competition was drawing a lot of attention. After all, a declaration of war by Qi Zhongyu against a Yin Yang Master was no small affair, especially when it involved practitioners from both countries.
Wang Qi arrived, approached the intern students from the Dwarf Kingdom, and said, "Master Chu Tian accepts your challenge. We’ll meet at the school’s arena tomorrow."
Zhongjin and the others were overjoyed. He actually agreed?
"Good, let it be tomorrow," Zhongjin nodded.
After Wang Qi left, Zhongjin smiled at Qi Zhongyu and said, "Lord Zhongyu, the other side has completely fallen for it."
Qi Zhongyu waved his hand dismissively, his face expressionless, as if this matter was unworthy of his concern. He said, "I know. I’ll deal with him tomorrow."
Zhongjin was excited. Once Chu Hao was sealed, he could make him eat dirt as revenge for last time!
Qiu Shanyezi slowly left and found Chu Hao in the school cafeteria.
Qiu Shanyezi bowed and said, "Master Chu."
In the Dwarf Kingdom, Yin-Yang Masters were deeply revered. Although Chu Hao was a Yin-Yang Master from Huaxia, he was, nonetheless, a Yin-Yang Master.
Li Yin, Mu Yuxun, and the others noticed this beauty from the Dwarf Kingdom. She was truly gorgeous, perhaps even a shade more beautiful than Mu Yuxun.
She was wearing a black dress that just reached her thighs, with floral lace on the collar that emphasized her beauty.
There were no dazzling luxurious embellishments on the dress, yet it exuded such beauty, elegance, and grace, making it hard for onlookers to shift their gaze away.
Chu Hao said, "What do you want?"
Qiu Shanyezi took a deep breath, looked at Chu Hao earnestly, and asked, "During the last calligraphy competition, did you use Yin-Yang Techniques, Master Chu?"
Last time, she had been thoroughly defeated. However, she later heard from Qi Zhongyu that her opponent had used Yin-Yang Techniques to summon a deity, which was how he had beaten her.
Chu Hao looked at her and said, "Does it matter?"
Qiu Shanyezi nodded and said, "It’s very important to Shanyezi."
"It was Yin-Yang Techniques," Chu Hao admitted.
Qiu Shanyezi took another deep breath and asked, "Shanyezi wants to know, which deity possesses such calligraphic prowess?"
Chu Hao looked at her with interest and said, "Who do you think has the best calligraphy in Huaxia Country?"
Qiu Shanyezi, well-versed in the world of calligraphy, replied, "In Huaxia Country, during the ancient times of the Tang Dynasty, calligraphy was at its pinnacle—that was its most glorious period."
Chu Hao nodded slightly and said, "Since you know that, then guess who it is?"
Li Yin and Mu Yuxun were both struck by curiosity.
Qiu Shanyezi excitedly said, "One is Xue Ji, but the only person Shanyezi can think of who could write such a majestic ’Emperor’ character is one person—the great Emperor Taizong of Tang."
Emperor Taizong of Tang!
Holy cow, did Chu Hao actually summon Emperor Taizong last time?
"DING... You’ve earned 900 Pretentiousness Points for an inconspicuous show-off."
That was some slick showing off.
Chu Hao nodded.
Qiu Shanyezi, unable to contain her excitement and stumbling over her words, said, "Master Chu, could I meet... Emperor Taizong...?!"
This girl, steeped in the history of Huaxia, admired Emperor Taizong the most.
Who would have thought she’d one day have the chance to compete in calligraphy with Emperor Taizong? Even though she lost, she was more than willing to accept it.
Chu Hao waved his hand and said, "He is not someone just anyone can meet."
As if! Emperor Taizong was way too tricky; summoning him cost a fortune in Pretentiousness Points.
Qiu Shanyezi looked disappointed and said, "Alright. Shanyezi came to inform you that Qi Zhongyu and Zhongjin are plotting something. They’ve brought a Yin-Yang secret treasure that’s said to be able to turn a living person into a slave."
So there was a conspiracy indeed, and they wanted to turn Brother Hao into a slave!
Chu Hao sneered inwardly.
Qiu Shanyezi said, "That’s all I know. Please be careful, Master Chu. Shanyezi takes her leave."
After Qiu Shanyezi left, Li Yin couldn’t help but remark, "That girl from the Dwarf Kingdom is quite thoughtful, isn’t she? Do you think she’s taken a liking to you?"
Chu Hao solemnly replied, "That’s what I was thinking too."
Mu Yuxun rolled her eyes and said, "Can you be any more self-absorbed? She clearly came to warn you. It seems that not everything is about international grudges or hostility between people. Shanyezi is really quite admirable."
