After slaughtering a large number in front of the teaching building, Xu Lang sent a message to Cao Yaxuan and the others, telling them to guard the Monster Airdrop box. He himself rushed to the cellar without stopping.

Boom!

Xu Lang forcibly broke open the cellar door. A ghostly shadow resembling black mist rushed towards his face, instantly attaching itself to his body.

[You have been cursed by the Cellar Vengeful Spirit. All attributes decreased.]

Xu Lang's face turned pale. He walked step by step to the deepest part of the cellar and slumped down, then took out various items to use, but their effects were minimal.

Even circulating his Innate True Qi within his body surprisingly couldn't dispel the curse, it could only temporarily suppress it!

This was not a sustainable solution.

"That ghost shadow seems to be a living creature, not some one-time skill or trap!"

Suddenly, he thought of something and hurriedly sent a private message, summoning Tong Qi over.

Specialized fields require specialized skills. If he didn't want to tough it out in this situation, he could only call in a professional.

Xu Lang took out the Thunder God Gatling and shattered all the Soul Steles in the cellar.

Crash, crackle~

The Soul Steles emitting a faint glow were shattered, plunging the entire cellar into darkness, leaving only Xu Lang's faint gasps.

He didn't know how long had passed before Xu Ruyan, Xu Xiaomeng, and Tong Qi arrived at the cellar together.

Xu Ruyan took out a flashlight and saw the weakened Xu Lang.

Xu Lang had already explained the situation to them in the private message.

Tong Qi, looking anxious, walked to Xu Lang's side. After sensing for a moment, she said, "It really is a living ghost creature inside your body. I can sense its resentment!"

"Can you handle it?" Xu Ruyan walked over.

Xu Xiaomeng guarded the cellar entrance.

"I should be able to!" Tong Qi nodded, taking out her Ghost Control Bells and shaking them.

Instantly, ten ghostly creatures of varying appearances materialized, exuding a sinister, chilling Yin Energy.

Tong Qi had never stopped developing her Sequence and was adept at controlling these Ghost Pets. She said to Xu Lang, "Don't resist." Several Ghost Pets then extended their hands into Xu Lang's body and began pulling forcefully.

"Red Butterfly, you go too!" A few seconds later, sweat beaded on Tong Qi's forehead as she spoke to Senior Sister Red Butterfly.

The ghost creature inside Xu Lang's body was extraordinary;several Ghost Pets pulling together actually couldn't extract it.

Senior Sister Red Butterfly gave a charming laugh. A stream of Ghost Qi surged into Xu Lang's body, binding the ghost creature inside, and then she began pulling it out forcefully.

Having this 'rope' made things much easier. Finally, all ten Ghost Pets grabbed the rope and pulled together, dragging that ghost creature out.

[Cellar Vengeful Spirit]

[Type: Ghost Creature]

[Level: ???]

[Skills: ???]

[Introduction: A native Vengeful Spirit of the Mad King Building. Cause of origin unknown.]

Xu Lang let out a heavy sigh of relief and cursed, "The feeling of being cursed is so damn unbearable!"

Tong Qi stuck out her tongue and said, "Teacher Sherry has always wanted to buy a purification skill, but unfortunately, she never managed to get one."

"Can this Vengeful Spirit be subdued?" Xu Lang asked.

With this Vengeful Spirit around, Xu Lang felt that if Tong Qi handled it well, she could even ambush and kill him.

Hmm.

Ambush and kill him once.

And that would also require maintaining a sufficient safe distance.

But that was already ridiculously powerful. These players specializing in Spirit-based skills should never be underestimated, especially someone like Tong Qi who walks the unorthodox path.

"I don't know, but I want to try." Tong Qi licked her lips, eager to give it a shot.

"Alright." Xu Lang nodded.

The Cellar Vengeful Spirit resembled a thick piece of black gauze, with no limbs, and only a mouth on its head. At this moment, it was being pinned down by the Ghost Pets, wailing incessantly.

Soon, it was subjected to a storm of attacks.

When the Cellar Vengeful Spirit was on the verge of death, Tong Qi released one of her Ghost Pets and began attempting to subdue the Cellar Vengeful Spirit.

Senior Sister Red Butterfly's eyes lit up. Her giant scythe hooked onto the released Ghost Pet, draining its Ghost Qi completely.

This is how battles between ghost creatures go;rank represents everything. A higher-ranking entity can devour a lower-ranking one.

"Failed!"

After a while, a hint of disappointment appeared on Tong Qi's face.

She had also used hypnosis items, but the Cellar Vengeful Spirit didn't fall for it;it was pure and evil.

"Don't you have a hypnosis item of a higher level?" Senior Sister Red Butterfly looked at the Cellar Vengeful Spirit, stepping on its head with her slick-haired, leather-shoed foot.

"No." Tong Qi shook her head.

"Then you could try luring it with food. I feel this Vengeful Spirit doesn't have much of a brain," Senior Sister Red Butterfly suggested.

Hearing this, Xu Lang took out the Soul Stone Wesright had given him from the storage room and said, "Try using this."

"Such a pure soul crystal!!!" Senior Sister Red Butterfly's eyes widened, her expression instantly turning morbid. Drool trickled from the corner of her mouth as she nearly lunged to snatch it.

Seeing Tong Qi take the Soul Stone, her eyes rolled, and she began pitifully begging.

"Please, good Master, give this crystal to me! This Vengeful Spirit is just trash, not worth it!"

Tong Qi looked embarrassed. Looking at the Cellar Vengeful Spirit, which was also clearly coveting the Soul Stone, she said, "Let's first see if we can subdue it."

She held the Soul Stone in front of the Cellar Vengeful Spirit. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

The Cellar Vengeful Spirit's body quivered as it began absorbing the soul power from the Soul Stone.

Senior Sister Red Butterfly watched, gnashing her teeth in frustration, her chest aching with anger.

Tong Qi attempted capture again. This time, the Cellar Vengeful Spirit was solely focused on absorbing the Soul Stone, showing no will to resist at all.

Whoosh! The Cellar Vengeful Spirit flew into the Ghost Control Bells!

"Haha, there's still some left." Senior Sister Red Butterfly laughed loudly, grabbing the Soul Stone, which had shrunk to nearly half its size.

At that moment, a vast surge of Ghost Qi erupted from within Tong Qi!

Her eyes turned pure black, her appearance terrifying!

Xu Lang's pupils contracted, slightly startled by this imposing aura.

Xu Ruyan's expression turned vigilant, and Xu Xiaomeng also looked over.

Ding ling ling~

The Ghost Control Bells suddenly floated up. Their vibrations sucked all the ghost creatures inside, then emitted a black, magnificent light. Eerie patterns appeared on their surface, and their form became increasingly ancient.

"Tong Qi, what's wrong with you?" Xu Ruyan couldn't help but ask.

Xu Lang was more direct;he took action to check Tong Qi's personal information.

[Tenant: Tong Qi]

[Experience: Five Cycles (In Progress)]

[Sequence: C-32 Ghost Controller (Initial Awakening)]

[Attributes: Constitution 16, Spirit 83]

[Free Attribute Points: 0]

[Skills: Ghost Shadow Confusion...]

[Comfort Level: 178 (Can increase Nightmare Coin conversion rate by 178%)]

Because they had taken the full set of Evolution Serums, Tong Qi and the others' base attributes were not low.

Tong Qi's Spirit attribute was even higher than Xu Lang's, while her Constitution attribute was nearly eight or nine times lower. This was the characteristic of players who allocated stats extremely.

Moreover, she also had an exclusive ring that increased her Spirit attribute, though the boost wasn't displayed on the panel.

Don't think Tong Qi is just one-eighth of Dorm 200;she would be considered a big shot outside.

Xu Lang's gaze instantly locked onto Tong Qi's Sequence column, his expression shocked.

The Ghost Controller Sequence had entered its second stage!
