238: You, commit suicide.

At this moment.

Inside the toilet stall.

Someone could no longer be called a person. Wang Shi'an's body was like a rag doll chewed by a beast, sprawled in the filth. His Soul was being torn, little by little, from his broken body by a pair of slender yet grotesque ghostly hands.

"No... don't..."

"Lin Rourou... I was wrong... I was really wrong..."

Wang Shi'an's Soul wailed, filled with endless terror.

Lin Rourou's pale face bore a bizarre yet satisfied smile. She extended her crimson tongue and licked the corner of her mouth, as if savoring the world's most exquisite delicacy.

"Now you know you're wrong?"

"Too bad, it's too late~"

"Tear—!"

With a soft sound, Wang Shi'an's Soul was completely torn apart, transforming into specks of flowing light that she swallowed.

A cold ghostly Qi erupted. Lin Rourou's eyes gradually regained their luster, and all her memories returned.

"I... I've... become a ghost?"

Lin Rourou looked down at her translucent hand, wreathed in black Qi, a hint of surprise on her face, followed by boundless ecstasy.

"So, in this world, there really are ghosts!"

"I, Lin Rourou, not only didn't die, but became... an even more powerful existence!"

She let out a long howl to the sky, her shrill laughter piercing through the walls and echoing over the entire campus. The pure and kind Lin Rourou was dead. What lived on was a red-clothed malevolent ghost!

...

Ten thousand meters above the ground.

Lu Yuchen took in everything below.

He had long since realized that the girl named Lin Rourou was already what movies called a red-clothed malevolent ghost.

He just didn't know how strong she was.

Take a ghost as a disciple?

Lu Yuchen stroked his chin, pondering.

It wasn't impossible.

It's just...

"System, are you still there, damn it!" he roared in his heart.

Still no response.

"Damn it," Lu Yuchen pouted, no longer dwelling on it.

He redirected his gaze to the campus below, which was now enveloped in black mist.

"So be it."

"The Spiritual Qi revival on Earth is already a foregone conclusion. Those officials still want to cover it up, which is simply a fool's dream."

"Instead of me stepping in and suppressing this little ghost, why not... let her make a bigger fuss?"

"Let it be a wake-up call for this world, which has been asleep in comfort for too long."

"Let everyone know that the times have changed."

"Extraordinary power is not something Mortals are qualified to speculate about."

...

On the sports field.

Lu Xiaoya, holding the Qingluan Sword, with a circulating blue light around her, was like an undefeated female War God, charging through the night of a hundred ghosts.

Wherever the sword light passed, grotesque ghosts wailed and turned into ashes.

Although she only had Qi Refining First Level cultivation, the Qingluan Sword in her hand was a Magical Artifact personally refined by Lu Yuchen, which had a natural restraint on these sinister beings.

Just then, she stumbled, almost falling.

Her internal magical power was insufficient; her previous recovery had been interrupted, and after such a long struggle, she was already at the end of her rope.

Yet, the surrounding ghosts seemed endless, still fearlessly swarming towards her.

"No, if this continues, I'll be exhausted to death sooner or later!" Lu Xiaoya gritted her silver teeth, her heart filled with anxiety.

And at this very moment, the previously chaotic horde of ghosts actually stopped their assault.

Like well-trained soldiers, they slowly retreated to both sides, opening up a path.

A slender figure in a red dress slowly emerged from the rolling black mist.

"Lin Rourou?!"

Lu Xiaoya looked at that familiar yet unfamiliar face and cried out in surprise, "How is it you?! Is all of this your doing?!"

"Yes." Lin Rourou's face bore a strange smile, "Xiaoya, long time no see."

"You really did... surprise me."

Her gaze swept back and forth over Lu Xiaoya, her eyes filled with undisguised astonishment.

"I thought I was the only one who received this great Opportunity. I never expected that you, too, would become... an extraordinary being."

She paused, a hint of seduction in her voice.

"But why do you want to be my enemy for the sake of these ants?"

"Lin Rourou! Clear your head!" Lu Xiaoya said urgently, "What exactly did you go through? Why have you become like this?!"

"Go through?" Lin Rourou seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, howling to the sky, her laughter filled with endless resentment and desolation.

"What did I go through! What did I go through!" Lin Rourou's words were frantic.

She stopped talking nonsense and pointed at Lu Xiaoya.

"Attack."

At her command!

The dense horde of ghosts once again surged like a tide towards Lu Xiaoya and the hundreds of teachers and students behind her.

This time, their assault was more ferocious and more frenzied than any before!

"Damn it!"

Lu Xiaoya's face changed dramatically, and she could only brandish the long sword in her hand again, struggling to hold on.

But, she was already at the end of her rope, how could she withstand the endless siege of ghosts?

In just a dozen breaths of time, she was already in peril, and her body had several deep, bone-visible wounds from ghostly claws!

"Xiaoya, give up."

Lin Rourou's voice rang out again, filled with condescending pity.

"You and I are sisters; I don't want to kill you."

"As long as you submit to me and become my ghost servant, I will spare your life, how about it?"

She had developed an appreciation for her talent.

If such a powerful extraordinary being like Lu Xiaoya could be transformed into a ghost servant, her strength would undoubtedly reach a new level!

"Dream on!"

"I, Lu Xiaoya, would rather die than collude with a malevolent ghost like you who indiscriminately slaughters the innocent!"

Just as her unyielding will reached its peak.

Boom!

The Qi Refining First Level Bottleneck was broken in this life-and-death situation!

Qi Refining Second Level!

"Hmm?" Lin Rourou also showed surprise at this, "Interesting, she got stronger."

But, even if she got stronger, what good would it do?

Lu Xiaoya was about to be completely engulfed by the endless ghosts.

Just then, Lin Rourou suddenly waved her hand.

All the ghosts stopped their assault again.

"Fine."

Her voice drifted over.

"Since you are so unappreciative, then this sovereign will give you... a choice."

She pointed at the hundreds of terrified teachers and students behind Lu Xiaoya.

"Do you see them?"

"This sovereign can now open this ghost realm and let all of them leave safely."

"The condition is..."

"You, take your own life here."

At these words.

Everyone's gaze, uniformly, focused on the blood-soaked girl.

Their eyes were filled with complexity.

There was sympathy, reluctance, gratitude, and yet... a glimmer of hope, named "hope."
