Chapter 231: Chapter 229 Cultivation

The Arsonist Ghost’s arrogance was palpable, and its strength approached that of a Fierce Spirit.

The Human-Headed Dog could suppress it, but it wasn’t as effortless as with other ghosts.

At the end of the day, the Human-Headed Dog, while it could counter ghosts, lacked fighting capability of its own.

But it was different with Wen Wen by the side, who, using only the Water Ghost’s Water Control Ability and Qin Shuang’s Ice Binding Ability, easily subdued the Arsonist Ghost.

Generally speaking, special ghosts can possess a variety of abilities, with richness comparable to that of human superpower users.

However, ghosts’ abilities are greatly limited, with less than one percent of special ghosts having special powers, which are usually related to the cause of their deaths.

But the same abilities used by ghosts and superpower users are worlds apart in effectiveness.

For example, Qin Shuang’s Freezing Ability, if it were used to arm-wrestle Gong Baoding before he was promoted, would definitely have him burnt to ash within minutes.

With loss comes gain; these ghosts with special abilities often have a higher likelihood of promotion than ordinary ghosts, and their unique physical structure is in itself a powerful ability.

Carrying the night’s harvest, Wen Wen returned to the inn, secured the doors and windows, entered the bathroom, and quietly vanished into the air.

He was going to summarize the night’s actions; his investigation into the Profane Blood stronghold had essentially come to naught.

But since the defense there was so strict, it must indeed be a branch of Profane Blood.

Currently, Wen Wen’s strength was still insufficient, but once he truly possessed the power of a genuine Assimilation Realm, he would take action.

As for how to act... of course by snitching!

He would let the Hunters Association send people to besiege the place, and then he would take advantage of the chaos to rescue the Containment Officer.

Speaking of which, reporting a secret organization’s stronghold of this level, Wen Wen estimated he could earn a substantial reward.

Besides that, there was his harvest from capturing ghosts throughout the night.

He had obtained a total of fifty-six Resentful Soul Beads, as well as a ghost that was on the verge of promoting to a Fierce Spirit.

He planned to take twenty of them and sell them on the Demon Hunters website.

One Resentful Soul Bead could sell for over two hundred Demon Hunting Coins, and if sold individually, the price could be even higher; these twenty would be at least four thousand Demon Hunting Coins.

With more than four thousand Demon Hunting Coins, he could at least buy a practical Mastery Realm Supernatural Weapon, but Wen Wen was planning to save up for something better in the future.

Ordinary Supernatural Weapons, Wen Wen didn’t really lack.

The likes of Blazing Tiger and Pack of Wolves were actually Assimilation Realm Supernatural Weapons; it’s just that Wen Wen usually didn’t like to use the expensive special bullets, otherwise, the power could be very formidable.

The initial twenty special bullets Gu Panxi gave to Wen Wen had barely been used so far.

Because shooting a bullet meant using up two Resentful Soul Beads...

The remaining thirty-six Resentful Soul Beads were intended by Wen Wen to cultivate his own ghosts.

Since Fierce Spirits are highly dangerous and not good at concealing themselves, they are usually eradicated by the Hunters Association upon their emergence.

Therefore, it was very difficult for Wen Wen to capture a wild Fierce Spirit; if he wanted other Fierce Spirits, he would have to cultivate them himself.

Wen Wen first went to the Disaster Level cell and saw Qin Shuang.

At the time, Qin Shuang was doing a handstand on the ceiling, his body shrouded in Cold Qi, his eyes gray and lifeless, and at a glance, he was quite frightening.

Ever since he promoted to a Fierce Spirit, he developed a hobby for performance art.

Although he seemed the most intimidating, among the monsters on the second level, he was the weakest.

Wen Wen wanted to try feeding Qin Shuang a large number of Resentful Soul Beads to see if he could become a Disaster Level ghost—an Evil Ghost.

First, he dangled a bead in front of Qin Shuang for a while, and Qin Shuang’s eyes immediately fixed on it, showing that he was greatly attracted to it.

So, Wen Wen threw one of the Resentful Soul Beads to Qin Shuang.

Qin Shuang swallowed the bead like chewing a sugar bean, and after swallowing, he reacted immediately.

In Wen Wen’s expectant gaze, he did a handstand and let out a fart...

Then, there was no then!

While Qin Shuang was eating, Wen Wen stayed in his Calamity Prison Supervisor state and could clearly see the changes in Qin Shuang’s energy.

After eating the Resentful Soul Bead, it only made his energy slightly more gloomy. Wen Wen guessed that even if he threw all the Resentful Soul Beads in his hand into Qin Shuang’s stomach, there wouldn’t be much improvement.

"I won’t feed you these good beads anymore; it’s a waste to give them to you."

With that, Wen Wen turned and left. Qin Shuang hurriedly came down from the ceiling, extending his hand toward Wen Wen’s retreating back, looking pitiable, but he ultimately didn’t ask for more.

He was a Fierce Spirit, an Ice Fierce Spirit; he couldn’t beg for food like a pet!

The moment Wen Wen’s figure disappeared, Qin Shuang began to slap his own mouth, wondering why he couldn’t swallow his pride and beg.

Since the beads were useless for Qin Shuang, Wen Wen decided to strengthen the other ghosts. There were now four Calamity Level Resentful Spirits in the Sanctuary, with abilities including Mental Shock, Infiltrating TV, Water Control, and Fire Control.

Among them, the one who was the greatest help to Wen Wen was Zhou Xun, the Baozi shop young girl ghost, who used Mental Shock.

So, Wen Wen wanted to cultivate her first.

It definitely wasn’t because she was the most attractive.

However, Wen Wen didn’t directly give her the beads. Instead, he poured all the beads on the floor in front of the four ghosts.

All four ghosts immediately fixed their gazes, pouncing toward the prison door, beginning to show Wen Wen their desire.

"Give me one... I am so pitiful..." said the disheveled Television Ghost with a frightening tone.

The soaking wet Water Ghost muttered eerily, nibbling on his fingernails, "Just a bite, I’ll take only a bite!"

"I just want to lick it." Zhou Xun’s eyes widened, completely forgetting that Wen Wen had helped her family find peace.

The Arsonist Ghost, still not quite understanding the situation, had a peculiar response. He bellowed at Wen Wen, "Give me those things now, or else once I get out, I’ll burn you to death!"

Wen Wen naturally wouldn’t mind the Arsonist Ghost’s bellowing, as he was a tolerant adult. So a snap of his fingers, and the Arsonist Ghost was rolling on the ground in pain; the entire cell was engulfed in flames, but not even a bit of heat reached outside the cell.

Taking advantage of the moment after punishing the Arsonist Ghost, Wen Wen spoke gravely, "You ghosts can desire these beads as well, but you must show me the results of your learning. The best performing ghost in the next test will be rewarded three beads, the second-best one bead, and the last will face punishment. Do you understand?"

The first three ghosts nodded like pecking chickens, and although the Arsonist Ghost didn’t know what a test was, he still mimicked the other ghosts and kept nodding his head.

Wen Wen believed that with the temptation of these beads, the ghosts would study diligently to become useful spirits.

Sooner or later, the day would come when these ghosts’ abilities would no longer serve any purpose for Wen Wen. By then, he would need to find another way to utilize them.

Only after their minds were completely brainwashed by this knowledge would Wen Wen dare to use them.

As for how to use them...

Keep in mind, Wen Wen now had the authority to release the monsters from the Sanctuary!
