Ghost Catching System
Chapter 854 - 852: Lighting the Lamp with Yang Energy
Only after entering did they realize there were actually quite a few people here, roughly around thirty to forty.
Those who could make it past the stone steps and arrive here were no ordinary individuals; everyone had their own skills and came from different eras.
Chu Hao and some others came from the modern era.
Qi Tian, Gu Yan, and others came from the end of the Ancient Taoist Civilization.
Yan Zhongtian and others were strong figures from the peak period of the Ancient Taoist Civilization.
The gathering of people from three different eras indeed brought about a unique feeling.
The decorations inside the building were quite impressive, with carvings of dragons and phoenixes, exhibiting extraordinary grandeur. On the corridor of the second floor, there was an elderly man with long eyebrows and a beard, who said, "Congratulations to everyone for making it to the first level."
"The challenge of the first level is to light the lamps."
"On the mural walls around you, there is a lamp. What you need to do is light it with Yang Energy to pass the first level."
A man in his thirties stepped forward. Having made it here, he had defeated ninety-nine percent of the outside world's people and laughed coldly, "How simple is that? I control the Qimen Dunjia Technique flames, not challenging at all."
He walked to the lamp on the mural and attempted to light it using the Qimen Dunjia Technique.
However, when his flame-like Yang Fire touched the lamp wick, there was no reaction at all.
"How is that possible?" The man looked shocked.
The elderly man with eyebrows and a beard smiled, "I already mentioned, to light the lamp, you can only rely on Yang Energy."
Someone else stepped up, but all of them failed.
"Damn! The lamp wick must have been specially treated; even fire can't ignite it," someone cursed.
"Merely using Yang Energy to light the wick requires such strong Yang Energy."
Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "It's been lit?"
Everyone was surprised and turned their heads, only to see a stunning woman who had lit the oil lamp.
Her skin was as creamy as jade, her blushing face shy, eyes clear like water, untainted by anything in this world, with a straight and beautiful nose, and cherry lips blooming like honey.
Shang Yingdie was the first to light the lamp.
The elderly man with long eyebrows and beard glanced at Shang Yingdie and said, "Pass."
Gu Yan stood aside and said, "Tsk tsk! As expected of Shang Yingdie, after all these years, she must have missed me."
Gu Yan ran over to give Shang Yingdie a hug, but Qi Tian pulled him back and said, "Get lost!"
Gu Yan cursed, "Qi Tian, damn it, what business is it of yours what I do?"
"It's been a while, you two," Shang Yingdie smiled gently, as if a spring breeze, relaxed and calm.
Qi Tian suppressed his excitement, nodded coldly and sternly, "Long time no see."
Gu Yan muttered, "What a pretense, if you like her, just admit it, can't stand fake sentiments."
Qi Tian angrily said, "Gu Yan, say it again."
"Shang Yingdie doesn't even like you, you stand no chance," Gu Yan teased.
"You sissy, want to get hit?" Qi Tian was also annoyed with Gu Yan and had long wanted to teach him a lesson.
Gu Yan rolled up his sleeves, his fair arms making even women jealous, he said fiercely, "Who are you calling sissy? Afraid of you? Bring it on."
Shang Yingdie helplessly said, "You two, why not focus on advancing, and catch up after we pass."
Qi Tian agreed, "You're right."
Qi Tian also walked over, channeled his Yang Energy, and lit the lamp.
"Qi Tian, pass."
Gu Yan playfully said, "Yingdie, let's catch up later, I'll light the lamp first."
Gu Yan walked over and effortlessly lit the lamp.
"Gu Yan, pass."
Yan Zhongtian also walked over, maneuvered his Yang Energy, and lit the wick.
The elderly man with long eyebrows and beard smiled, "Yan Zhongtian, pass."
The Little Tyrant from the Yan Family Clan, Yan Zhongtian, also moved to the second level.
The others were frustrated that four people had already passed, constantly channeling Yang Energy, but still couldn't light the lamp.
"What kind of ghost test is this, it can only be ignited with Yang Energy?" someone cursed.
The elderly man with long eyebrows and beard chuckled, "Of course, people can also think of other methods, as long as it lights up."
...
Chu Hao looked around and realized there were very few people he knew here, only three: Lan Yingxue, Qin Yun, and Zhang Guanyi.
Zhang Guanyi was trying to light a lamp but with great effort still couldn't ignite it and was very frustrated.
"Impossible, I've taken Dao Pills, my strength is decent among the people here, how can I not light it?" Zhang Guanyi was really anxious.
Lan Yingxue and Qin Yun, the two disciples from Kunlun Mountain, went over, but Lan Yingxue also failed to light it, greatly disappointed.
However, Qin Yun, the beautiful elder, managed to light it.
"Master!" Lan Yingxue exclaimed joyfully.
Qin Yun was somewhat struggling, with crystalline beads of sweat on her forehead, she said, "So difficult, it requires extremely strong Yang Energy, with very high quality, I think in the whole of Kunlun Mountain, no more than five people can light it."
Kunlun Mountain is very mysterious, full of experts, but only five people could light it, showing how powerful they are.
These words didn't sit well with Zhang Guanyi.
Qin Yun said, "Yingxue, you should be able to light it too, concentrate, and use the Kunlun Secret Techniques."
"Yes, Master."
Lan Yingxue focused again, still very young, with one of the highest potentials in Kunlun Mountain, she used the secret techniques, mobilizing her Yang Energy, and finally lit it!
"Pssht" the wick was lit, candlelight reflecting on her face.
"I did it." Lan Yingxue wiped the sweat from her forehead, immensely happy.
Some people succeeded, while others were frustrated as they couldn't light it no matter what. Chu Hao looked at Wang Shuyu, who was dazed and dumbfounded.
Chu Hao walked over, patted his shoulder, and said, "Brother, try using your Nether Qi."
The Netherworld person nodded woodenly, walked over, and indeed lit the lamp.
The Netherworld person turned around and said, "Thank you."
Really wanted to say, it's only right to look out for fools, he said, "No need to thank me. By the way, we're in a cooperative relationship, remember what Old Green Frog told you?"
The Netherworld person thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
Seems this guy still had some awareness, but when he goes crazy, maybe not.
Chu Hao stepped forward, looking at the lamp on the mural, he said, "This is too easy, no challenge at all."
His words were overheard, and several people gnashed their teeth, an older man said coldly, "Young man, don't stand there and talk without feeling the pain."
Zhang Guanyi was also among them, he snorted coldly, annoyed.
He really couldn't understand, his Yang Energy was stronger than Lan Yingxue's, why was lighting the lamp so difficult.
Chu Hao walked over, maneuvered his Yang Energy to light the wick, but the first attempt failed?
Lan Yingxue was surprised, Chu Hao's strength was so strong, yet he couldn't light the wick, this was unexpected.
Someone laughed, "This boy was just bragging."
"Heh, who doesn't brag, if I were as young as him, I'd brag to the whole world, can't blame him."
Zhang Guanyi sneered, "You probably can't either, don't talk big here, embarrassing yourself."
Chu Hao glanced at him sideways and said, "Master Zhang, as if you could, over a hundred years old, still not giving up."
Damn!
Zhang Guanyi really wanted to show Chu Hao a thing or two.
