Chapter 117: Chapter 117: The Shock of the Unrivaled Level Skill, Dragon Country Rises

As Mr. Luo nodded in agreement,

A thought flashed through Yun Zhenyue’s mind!

VMMMM!

Instantly, Mr. Luo’s figure transformed into a streak of blood-red light.

It entered his daughter Luo Huan’s heart chamber.

He offered no resistance whatsoever,

Even though Yun Zhenyue could have killed him at any moment.

After sending Mr. Luo inside,

Yun Zhenyue suddenly felt the power within her body dissipate.

’Looks like the Love Contract has expired.’

That invincible power seemed capable of tearing apart the sky-blotting red mist.

A single thought could shake heaven and earth, a single thought could level mountains and seas!

’Still, I’m not too disappointed about losing this power. After all, it was only 1% of Gu Yuan’s strength. If I run into trouble in the future, I can just go find him.’

"Miss Yun, how do you have my dad’s ability?"

At that, Luo Huan asked, unable to suppress her curiosity.

"Oh, this? It’s just a little skill of mine. Pretty amazing, right?" Yun Zhenyue chuckled casually, making no effort to hide it.

"Of course it’s amazing!"

Luo Huan’s eyes widened, filled with awe.

"You can use my dad’s ability just by looking at him once. Doesn’t that make you truly invincible?"

"If you find a Great Evil ghost and look at him a couple of times, you’ll be able to do whatever you want in the Ghost World!"

Yun Zhenyue found this amusing. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

’It’s not that simple.’

’Although this skill’s cooldown is much shorter than the Love Contract’s, it’s still a full seven days. Besides, it only lets me use the ability; my body hasn’t been enhanced.’

’Maybe it would be a better fit for Luo Huan. She loves showing off more than anyone.’

Just as the two were whispering to each other,

All the ghosts of Chilling Middle School had escaped danger.

Although their yin energy was overdrawn, leaving most of them pale and utterly spent, thankfully, they hadn’t been drained completely dry.

The ghosts all stared at the two of them, their faces a mixture of disbelief and shock.

This included the ghost homeroom teacher and the ghost dean of studies.

The ghost homeroom teacher looked relieved.

’He just found out that Luo Huan is actually Mr. Luo’s daughter. That rumor was true after all!’

’Good thing Luo Huan threatened me earlier, or this could have turned into a huge disaster.’

The ghost dean of studies, however, was filled with regret. ’I personally saw Yun Zhenyue punch a huge hole in Mr. Luo’s heart chamber. Is that something a mere Crimson-robed Ghost like me should be seeing?’

’She’s the chairman of the board, and I was trying to get a bribe from her before?’

’I’m so screwed now!’

The ghosts from Class 2 all walked over to the pair.

These ghosts thought Luo Huan and Yun Zhenyue had teamed up to break the heart chamber.

They looked at them with faces full of admiration.

"Yun, Huan, that was so fucking awesome!"

"I can’t believe I’m only just now finding out that you’re the principal’s daughter, Huan."

"With Huan in our class, we’re all set for the future!"

Hearing her classmates’ exclamations of shock and awe,

Luo Huan couldn’t help but feel proud again. She waved her hand and said, "Keep it low-key, low-key."

’This feels so damn good, showing off like this!’

’Miss Yun really wasn’t lying!’

At that moment,

Behind this group of ghosts,

Han Sumei and the other girls were still shaken.

They weren’t ghosts, so Mr. Luo hadn’t drawn any yin energy from them earlier.

Although they had been terrified and desperate, they had still been able to see everything that happened.

’This Yun Zhenyue is just like a ghost!’

’She went into the heart chamber and actually came back out?’

They thought she would die in there!

But instead, it seemed she blew the heart chamber open with a single punch?

She made such a huge hole, and Mr. Luo didn’t even give her any trouble?

We’re all human, so why is she so damn amazing!

What kind of power is this? Could it be that Yun Zhenyue turned into a ghost at some point?

Or perhaps...

This power was also given to her by Gu Yuan?

Han Sumei’s eyes were filled with jealousy.

Looking at Yun Zhenyue, who stood as if under a spotlight being admired and worshiped, left a taste more sour than lemons in her mouth.

They had just pleaded for so long, but Mr. Luo didn’t even pay them any mind!

The badge she was so proud of had instead led to Megan’s gruesome death.

She had originally thought Mr. Luo was arrogant,

But he had clearly treated Yun Zhenyue as an equal.

They were like ants beneath the feet of two giants.

「On the other side.」

Yamada Aiko had a dazed look in her eyes. She hadn’t been wrong after all; Yun Zhenyue really could get out of the heart chamber.

It was just that the way she got out was completely different from what she had imagined!

’A normal person’s line of thinking would be that Yun Zhenyue would use her words to persuade the father and daughter to resolve their conflict, right?’

’Who knew she’d be so outrageous!’

’To just tear the heart chamber open with brute force!’

’And escape with Luo Huan!’

’Is that something a human can do?’

In all her time watching the ghost matchmaking, this was the first time Yamada Aiko had ever seen someone go head-to-head with an Evil Star!

’And in the end, she somehow used some unknown skill to copy Mr. Luo’s ability?’

’With this kind of power...’

’If she returns to the real world, the Dragon Country is bound to ascend to the heavens in a single step!’

’Now it’s just a matter of seeing whether I can suck up to her fast enough...’

’...or if this round of matchmaking ends first.’

...

「Meanwhile.」

Watching Mr. Luo walk into the heart chamber,

Even the Dragon Country audience was getting a little scared.

Wait, what?

Has Yun Zhenyue been possessed?

How does she have yet another new ability?

The scares just kept coming, one after another!

[What kind of skill is this? How can she use a ghost’s ability?]

[She can even copy an Evil Star’s ability, and she calls that a ’little skill’?]

[Holy shit, this is the first time I’ve ever heard of a human being able to copy a ghost’s ability. What level would that even be? Master-level... no, wait, could it be the highest, Unrivaled Level?]

[Unrivaled Level? A human can get an Unrivaled Level skill? Holy crap!]

[I sat bolt upright from shock. I watch all the matchmaking livestreams, and I’ve only ever seen one person get an Expert-level skill, and they nearly died, going through hell and back to get it. And she just quietly nabs an Unrivaled Level one?]

[I heard a rumor that Han Sumei has an Expert-level skill too. Something about shoveling shit, but the Great Cold Country keeps denying it.]

The Dragon Country’s audience was completely stunned!

The shock they felt from the Unrivaled Level skill!

Was even greater than that from the Love Contract!

After obtaining the Master-level Medical Skill, Yun Zhenyue had once again broken through the limits of human skill levels!

She had become the first person in the world to obtain an Unrivaled Level skill!

Putting everything else aside, just the ability to copy alone could be used in countless ways by the nation’s think tank!

Copy a damage-dealing ability, and she could steamroll dungeons!

Copy a utility-type ability, and it could be used as a bargaining chip. No matter what kind of dungeon they faced, the Dragon Country would have a seat at the negotiating table!

The overall impact was no less than possessing a nuclear weapon!

If she returned to the real world, she would be treated as a guest of honor in any country she went to.

The Dragon Country would have to cradle her in its palms, afraid to let her fall.

...

Before long,

Yun Zhenyue sensed that the time for On-Site Replication had also run out.

She saw Mr. Luo walk out of Luo Huan’s heart chamber.

He looked as if he had suffered some kind of blow, yet also as if he had come to understand something. He radiated a complex mix of emotions.

THUMP! THUMP!

The two hearts that had been hovering over Chilling Middle School returned to their owners’ bodies.

Luo Huan gently clutched her chest, not knowing what to say.

But Mr. Luo raised his head, his murky eyes looking at her earnestly as his lips trembled. "Huan’Er... Daddy was wrong..."

"Daddy shouldn’t have forced my own wishes on you."

In that heart, which was riddled with holes,

Mr. Luo had seen Luo Huan’s entire life.

—but from her perspective.

From the happiness and joy of her childhood,

To the pain and resentment at her mother’s death,

And then to the despair of being locked inside the heart chamber.

The two completely different perspectives allowed him to feel completely different emotions.

His kind of love.

His self-righteous sacrifices.

They were heavy.

They were shackles, fetters.

Not the love she was willing to accept.

He could feel how that so-called love had gradually morphed into deep despair.

What Luo Huan wanted was freedom!

Since she was little, she never liked being confined to one place. She wanted to see the outside world, to climb over walls, to escape...

Mr. Luo finally understood.

Even though she had been suffering all this time, Luo Huan had never truly hated him.

She just didn’t want to get hurt herself.

He knew now that she had made her choice, no matter how difficult.

His child had grown up.

It was time for him...

to let go.

Thinking of this,

Mr. Luo looked at Yun Zhenyue with a grateful expression. He then took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Thank you, my lady... for helping me understand all of this."

"I will use... this lifetime to atone."
