Chapter 162: Chapter 137: Dangerous Ritual, Advancement

"I wonder which captain from the Countermeasures Bureau is going to break through this time. Currently, only Captain Li, Captain Lu, Captain Fen, and Captain Xia hold Safe Zone memberships."

Shi An had an idea; he wanted to observe the Countermeasures Bureau’s breakthrough to gain some experience.

However, it was hard to say when the Countermeasures Bureau captains would break through. For peak experts, preparing for a month or two wasn’t considered long. But for Shi An, even half a month felt like an eternity.

After all, the breakthrough method for ghosts was quite different from that of humans.

"Then let’s begin."

The most important thing was that he had already found the Ghost group suitable to serve as the target for Li Feng’s Extraordinary Ceremony. It consisted of three Leaders and over a dozen Ordinary Ghosts.

There were no terrifying Extraordinary Ghosts around, either. Deep in the Nightmare, a more suitable target couldn’t be found.

Shi An muttered to himself. The Shadow beneath his feet continuously extended, and at its end, a dark-skinned young man with a completely different appearance emerged. This Shadow avatar walked outward from the Safe Zone.

At the same time, Shi An anchored that area and locked onto the Tunnel Entrance used by that member. Li Feng, Little Blood, Zhuo Ling, and the other ghosts walked out one after another, accompanied by a Shadow.

Two kilometers away.

Shi An’s Shadow avatar stood atop a dilapidated building, overlooking a small park square in the distance where a group of extremely dangerous Ghosts was roaming. He observed the surroundings.

"This group of Ghosts is the biggest source of danger in the vicinity.

"The downside is that this area is still a bit far from the Safe Zone gate."

But this wasn’t a problem. Shi An had his methods.

Little Blood and Zhuo Ling flew in different directions, both keeping a long distance from the target area. They could block outside interference, but if they influenced the clash inside even a tiny bit, it could lead to the failure of the ceremony.

STOMP! STOMP! STOMP!

Li Feng walked up to the square. The next moment, his figure disappeared, instantly appearing right in front of the Ghost group.

"Rising—Dragon—Slash—!"

Black Curse Power lingered on the Great Sword’s blade, transforming into a vigorous Black Dragon. As the Great Sword slashed through, the Black Dragon soared upward into the sky, instantly swallowing several Ghosts, including one Leader Level Ghost.

The ascending Black Dragon exploded in mid-air, scattering the shredded flesh and remnants of the Ghosts down from the sky.

But this was still not the end.

Li Feng’s Curse Power boiled, and in the blink of an eye, he was clad in ferocious and terrifying black armor. The Ghost group overwhelmed him, but the next moment, surging Curse Power erupted, sending every single Ghost flying.

The fierce battle immediately reached a fever pitch. Li Feng didn’t circle around or kite his enemies; he chose the purest head-on clash.

This wasn’t foolishness. This was his path, his Promotion Ceremony!

Shi An stood on the rooftop of the tall building, looking down at the great battle below.

A loud RUMBLE echoed outward.

A Ghost’s roar echoed from the gray fog in the distance. Shi An cast a glance at it. Dozens of meters away, the Shadow morphed into spikes, Piercing the Ghost.

Battles also broke out one after another in Little Blood and Zhuo Ling’s directions. Fortunately, the Ghosts attracted by the commotion were neither numerous nor powerful enough; the strongest were only a few Elite Level Ghosts. One person and two ghosts easily took care of them.

The key still lay in the great battle below, where Li Feng fought the three Leaders single-handedly.

Ten minutes!

Twenty minutes!

Half an hour!

Li Feng’s armor was battered and broken, and his ghost body had become somewhat transparent. But around him, no Ghost remained in a recognizable shape. Only over a dozen Curse Objects had gradually precipitated, emitting a faint halo of light.

The ceremony was complete.

In the unseen world, a mysterious Rule Power was about to descend.
