"No way, are these new recruits just boasting? Do you really believe the words of a bunch of 15-year-olds?"
A Ghost Tamer shook his head, clearly not believing it.
Or rather, unwilling to believe.
We're all Ghost Tamers here, and you're not a Spirit Conduit—what makes you so powerful?
Some people just can't stand seeing others succeed.
If the person was a Spirit Conduit, this Ghost Tamer probably wouldn't have this attitude, because the power of a Spirit Conduit is universally acknowledged.
In the early days of the Ghost Revival, only Spirit Conduits could become Ghost Tamers.
Back then, Ghost Tamers had to be much more extreme to survive.
They dared to deal with any type of ghost.
Some even contained several Evil Spirits at once and used methods to make them balance each other.
There were indeed some exceptionally talented Ghost Tamers back then.
But very few of them survived.
Because at that time, there was little research on ghosts, and once you controlled an Evil Spirit, it would grow stronger in battle against other powerful ghosts, eventually... backfiring on the Ghost Tamer!
Even the best Ghost Tamers back then couldn't live for more than a few years.
They either died at the hands of stronger ghosts or were destroyed by the Evil Spirit's backlash.
Some even became ghosts themselves.
Now, the systematic training of Companion Spirits...
The methods to safely and efficiently cultivate Companion Spirits in bulk...
These were all developed over the past 100 years through countless sacrifices of Ghost Tamers' blood and lives!
Hundreds of Ghost Tamers lost their lives to refine these methods over the years.
"Right, even if some powerful Ghost Tamers' children can get better Companion Spirits from a young age, they couldn't possibly reach Dangerous-Grade just a few days after awakening their ghosts. This must be fake news."
"Maybe that person has a big background?"
"What background? After awakening a ghost, the Ghost Tamer's body is heavily influenced by the ghost energy, making it extremely difficult for them to have children. There are only a few powerful Ghost Tamers in Willow City Base, and I know that one of them has a daughter in this batch of new recruits. She even got a villa on her own. But the villa... is said to be a foster orphan."
"Although I also think it's not true, if it really is... this new recruit with the villa must be quite powerful. They'll probably catch the attention of the higher-ups and receive focused training."
In the tavern, Ghost Tamers were voicing their opinions back and forth.
Since Lin Feng had not yet been formally certified, many of the Ghost Tamers were skeptical about the truth of the rumors.
After all, all the students in Lin Feng's batch were only 15 years old, and to these veteran Ghost Tamers in their twenties or thirties, they seemed like mere kids.
Kids often exaggerate.
However, despite their skepticism, the fact that Lin Feng had managed to secure a villa still shocked and envious these "old-timers."
After all, most of them were still living in ordinary apartments.
"Hey, look at the Alliance group, another Ghost Tamer has been killed."
At that moment, a Ghost Tamer loudly spoke.
Other Ghost Tamers quickly took out their communicators.
These certified Ghost Tamers had already joined the Ghost Tamer Alliance and other Ghost Tamer groups.
They received information much faster than the new recruits.
Lin Feng, however, had not gone through certification and had only joined the new recruit group, so he had no idea about these updates.
"This ghost is too arrogant, does it think Willow City has no one to stop it?"
"The City Lord should step in, right?"
"Not necessarily, the City Lord needs to stay in the city and rarely leaves, but I heard there's a big figure in the Alliance who has arrived. Don't know why the ghost hasn't been dealt with yet."
The news of the new Ghost Tamer being killed quickly grabbed the attention of the Ghost Tamers in the tavern, and the topic quickly shifted away from Lin Feng.
None of the Ghost Tamers noticed.
After their attention shifted, three Ghost Tamers exchanged glances, then quietly left the tavern.
"You ask about Lin Feng? He lives in the villa in the back, the one you see, right?"
About ten minutes later, the three Ghost Tamers arrived at the area where the new recruits were staying. The one speaking was a 15-year-old Ghost Tamer from Lin Feng's batch.
Recently, many Ghost Tamers who had been clearing ghosts in the outer city had returned. After hearing about a new recruit living in a villa, several had come to check it out.
Lin Feng's villa had been surrounded by curious onlookers every day.
Since his reputation spread, many young Ghost Tamers aged 16 to 20 came by to see his villa, curious about what Lin Feng looked like, and some even wanted to befriend him.
Even veteran Ghost Tamers occasionally showed up.
"Is Lin Feng in there?"
A Ghost Tamer asked.
"I don't know, looks like he's not here. The lights didn't come on at night, I heard he might have gone out of the city."
The new Ghost Tamer replied.
"I heard Lin Feng's Ghost Spirit is already Dangerous-Grade?"
Another Ghost Tamer asked.
"Of course, now the group is saying, 'Brother Lin is too amazing...'"
When it came to this topic, the new Ghost Tamer from Lin Feng's batch became very enthusiastic, talking a lot.
The three Ghost Tamers didn't interrupt him, but quietly listened. After he finished, they walked toward Lin Feng's villa.
The villa district wasn't accessible to just anyone. It had walls and guards, and any visitors had to register.
Although the guards were ordinary people, the rules in Willow City Base were strict. Ghost Tamers were not allowed to casually attack ordinary people, and battles between Ghost Tamers were also forbidden.
Although ordinary people were weak compared to ghosts, they were the foundation of the Base City.
Without the ever-increasing number of ordinary people, there would be no growing number of Ghost Tamers.
Therefore, although ordinary people's status was low, there was rarely any intentional oppression of them in Base City.
Of course, this wasn't an absolute rule, as there were always exceptions.
...
Lin Feng's villa was located on the outskirts of the entire villa district.
It was visible from outside.
At this moment, some Ghost Tamers were standing around, chatting while looking at Lin Feng's villa, discussing rumors about him.
These Ghost Tamers were just curious. After today, they probably wouldn't return to look anymore.
The three Ghost Tamers stood there for a while, then left Lin Feng's villa and entered an apartment.
"Qi Ping, what do you think?"
A square-faced Ghost Tamer spoke, his tone serious.
"Regardless of whether Lin Feng's Ghost Spirit is Dangerous-Grade, as long as Lin Feng isn't a Spirit Conduit, his Ghost Spirit... must be extremely outstanding," said the Ghost Tamer named Qi Ping.
"Exactly. For an ordinary person's Ghost Spirit to grow so fast, there's only one possibility—it must have extremely high potential."
Another Ghost Tamer added.
The square-faced Ghost Tamer said, "Qi Ping, He Hai, what do you think? Should we go for this job?"
The two Ghost Tamers exchanged a glance.
"He Hai, listen to what the new recruits are saying. Lin Feng might have gone out of the city... are we going out? What if we run into that ghost?"
He Hai, the other Ghost Tamer, asked.
The square-faced Ghost Tamer replied, "The outer city is vast, we might not encounter it. Besides, this is the best chance. We can't make a move inside the city, but now that many Ghost Tamers are returning, if we deal with Lin Feng outside the city, it'll be harder for anyone to notice. Once he's dealt with, I can use my corpse bag to trap his Ghost Spirit. While his bond with the Ghost Spirit is still low, we can sell that Ghost Spirit for a good price."
At this point, the square-faced Ghost Tamer's gaze passed over the two other Ghost Tamers, and with a tempting tone, he added:
"Such a high-quality Ghost Spirit, being a Benevolent Spirit, can't be sold in Willow City, but in Hai City, a Spirit Conduit Ghost Tamer would definitely be interested. It could fetch tens of thousands of Contribution Points. So, what do you think, shall we take this job?"
The other two Ghost Tamers hesitated for a moment, but eventually, they both made up their minds.
"Alright!"
