The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 456 - 211: Superior Level·Ghost Catcher_2

No matter how serious Lin Pingfan might be on usual days, at this moment, all he could utter was "Holy Crap" to express his surprise.

He had indeed suspected that Lord Han’s abilities could somehow be tied with his direct disciples.

Otherwise, how could Renwo Kuang possibly ascend so quickly to the Perfection stage of the 2nd order, and how could Lord Han take off, quickly approaching the 4th order.

But... could even special job powers be granted? What kind of demonic ability was this?!

What he had imagined was already astonishing enough, but the actual situation turned out to be even more bizarre - Renwo Kuang’s growth speed surpassed his peers. Well deserved! Very well deserved indeed!

"Let’s test it. after the upgrade of Teacher’s Ring, let’s see the changes in the abilities of the Ghost Catcher."

Ye Hanjun reminded him, his face showing a hint of curiosity.

The D-level job ’Ghost Catcher’ had two passive and two active abilities.

Passive - Ghost Insight, which grants the owner an extremely powerful ability to perceive the nature of soul bodies related to the Nether Fond Spirits. It is nearly impossible to deceive a Ghost Catcher with the secrets, virtuality, and lightness of ghosts, causing him to overlook the traces of ghosts.

Passive - Virtualization, which turns the flesh and blood of the Ghost Catcher into a 50% virtual state, naturally reducing most physical attacks on him by half.

When this passive ability is fully activated, the Ghost Catcher can easily be mistaken for a human-like monster and finds it difficult to wear clothes.

Lin Pingfan usually chooses to turn it off completely and only truly activates it when in danger.

Active - Ghost Sealing Curse, which allows him to recite a curse at a target which immobilizes weak ghost spirits.

This ability severely restricts ghosts, but can also affect the physical body, although with significantly reduced effects. It serves to stab the opponent’s soul, causing momentary dizziness and paralysis.

Active - Ghost Sealing Cage, which depletes his own soul power to form a cage for catching ghosts. It can directly imprison weak ghost spirits or severely suppressed and wounded powerful evil spirits.

—— What kind of sublimation can these four luxurious abilities obtain after being enhanced by the Teacher’s Ring?

"Whoosh~~~"

Suddenly, the clothes on Lin Pingfan’s body slid off, and his entire person became a hazy ghost, moving back and forth in the shadow of the candlelight.

"’Virtualization’ has become stronger, increasing from 50% to 80%. At this strength, even if I were to be directly hit by a full-force strike from the Life Wheel Virtual Summon, it would not be a lethal blow as long as it does not have elemental damage..."

"Whoosh——"

The ghost re-entered the clothes and turned back into a flesh and blood body, as the armor and robes neatly draped over him.

With a thought, Lin Pingfan produced a white incense candle in his hand.

This incense candle, with the thickness of a finger and the length of chopsticks, burned continuously without fire at the top. As the incense smoke filled the air, Ye Hanjun’s spirits perked up slightly.

"A third active ability has appeared. I decide to call it ’Ghost Soul Incense’!"

"I have a feeling that in future, the ghost spirits I capture and kill will not have their shattered soul bodies fully dispersed. A considerable part will gather into the incense flame. In critical moments, it can be lit to stimulate the spirits of surrounding allies and it can also be used to repair the soul bodies of contract ghosts, helping them to recover quickly..."

Lin Pingfan was continuously amazed. He had just completed the apprenticeship ceremony and received a C-level superior role as a Ghost Catcher. And with such profound mystery involved, how could he not be utterly captivated?

"It’s likely that Renwo Kuang was able to activate ’Explosive Muscle’ twice in a row because he had the support of a superior power..."

With a whirl of thoughts, Lin Pingfan immediately understood what Jin Xiaohong could not. The grey moon on his forehead shone even brighter.

"Let me introduce, you are the seventh disciple, and Renwo Kuang is the fourth."

"That means, there are five other disciples in total, all of whom have Teacher’s Rings, and each of their job authorities have undergone an upgrade."

"What?!" Lin Pingfan exclaimed in shock, "I have heard that people say Master Han’s ’Instructor’ is an E-level position. With seven blessings and seven upgrades, is this something an E-level role can achieve?"

"Even I haven’t fully figured that out."

Ye Hanjun shook his head, "I am inclined to believe that this job itself belongs to ’special jobs’. Its true power level can’t be defined, and what is revealed is layer upon layer of disguise; it’s highly deceptive. Even the highest level magical tools are deceived by it."

"There really might be such a possibility..."

Lin Pingfan mumbled to himself, "It’s over. Master Han’s powers are too great. There is a sense of a mountain pouring down on my shoulders, the pressure is enormous."

"Being steady on your Path of Controlling Spirits is the key to my promotion."

Ye Hanjun added noncommittally with a smile:

"The Deputy Leader - Flame Thief, is the fifth disciple."

"Under the banner of the Eaglet, the Wild Knight - Su Mei, Bug Catcher - Li Jingming, and Knight in Armor - Wang Xinfei, are respectively the first, second, and third disciples."

"As for the sixth disciple... her identity is special and she is currently not in Blue Mountain City, so you won’t be able to familiarize yourself with her for the time being."

"..."

Lin Pingfan’s lips parted slightly, his eyes blinking again and again, taking a while to digest all this information.

"No wonder, I thought, to bestow a deputy general rank randomly to two strangers, one must have extraordinary confidence in his strength so as not to fear any backstab..."

"So Flame Thief was an insider all along. The Three Tailed Flame Tiger is quite fierce. Given time, it will definitely have a place among the strongest Patrons of 3rd order..."

Inside the Pavilion that outsiders had no access to, the sounds of exclamation were unable to subside.
