"That's more like it!"
Qin Feng nodded in satisfaction at the explanation.
Just the ability to tear through anything was already enough to delight him.
Dissecting a Malevolent Ghost could be considered an added bonus.
Then came Professor Lin's voice.
Qin Feng responded, "I've successfully tamed these ghost hands!"
As he spoke, he raised both hands and gave a little wave.
Sure enough!
It was true!
Everyone outside finally breathed a collective sigh of relief.
With this, they had gained another Ghost Tamer.
For a major city like Jiangcheng, this was a monumental development.
After all, the entire Jiangcheng City had only one officially registered Ghost Tamer—Liu Ming—struggling to keep things under control. Some Paranormal Incidents that he couldn't resolve remained sealed off, and no one knew when a Malevolent Ghost might suddenly break free.
If one did escape, the resulting panic and casualties would be catastrophic.
And most crucial of all—
Liu Ming's condition was extremely dire. The Malevolent Ghost inside him was already on the verge of awakening. If he were to die during the handling of a Paranormal Incident, it would mean adding yet another ghost to the mix.
Even if he avoided using the ghost's power, he wouldn't survive another month.
Jiangcheng was already teetering on the edge. If Liu Ming died, things would spiral into chaos.
"Congratulations, Qin Feng—no, I should say Officer Qin—for successfully taming the Malevolent Ghost. Jiangcheng City is counting on you now!"
"Yes! Let us know if you need anything!"
"We'll do everything we can to support Officer Qin!"
When Qin Feng emerged, everyone except Liu Ming showered him with flattery and goodwill.
Even the middle-aged military officer was no exception.
This was the era of Malevolent Ghost resurgences—only Ghost Tamers could fight them. Even a modern, heavily armed battalion would be annihilated by a Malevolent Ghost.
So,the importance of Ghost Tamers couldn't be overstated.
When faced with a Paranormal Incident, even the military had to obey a Ghost Tamer's command.
At this moment, Qin Feng enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention—like stars surrounding the moon.
Then—
Liu Ming suddenly said, "Qin Feng, now that you're a Ghost Tamer and wield incredible power..."
"But I must remind you, many Ghost Tamers like yourself have fallen to their own dark desires, abusing their power. And do you know what happened to them? I can tell you this: without exception, they were all killed. Ghosts may be hard to deal with, but humans are easy to eliminate."
It was a warning!
Qin Feng could hear it loud and clear. Liu Ming was worried that, with great power, he might grow arrogant and use the ghost's abilities to fulfill selfish ambitions.
The room fell silent.
Only another Ghost Tamer like Liu Ming could dare speak so bluntly.
Anyone else wouldn't even dare try.
"Don't worry, Officer Liu. I won't do anything reckless."
Qin Feng replied calmly.
He understood Liu Ming's good intentions and didn't take it personally.
Liu Ming nodded and rasped, "Good. Just look at me—you can see I don't have much time left. Jiangcheng will soon rely on you. I hope you'll live up to the organization's trust."
"I will."
Qin Feng wasn't someone ungrateful or disloyal. Since the organization had helped him become a powerful Ghost Tamer, he would repay that favor.
Besides, this was the official organization—they could offer power, status, and support when needed.
He'd be a fool to leave it behind.
As the saying goes, it's good to cling to a big tree for shade.
The Ghost taming trials continued.
Each round, trainees came in and, seeing Qin Feng standing beside Liu Ming, immediately understood. Their eyes brimmed with envy and hope.
But without exception, none of them even made it past the Paranormal Crystal stage.
Until the last two trainees entered.
One of them, a strikingly beautiful and cold young woman, caught Qin Feng's attention.
Her name was Liu Qingrou—arguably the most beautiful and the most driven trainee in the entire program.
Her personality was even colder than Qin Feng's. At least he would nod back when someone greeted him.
But Liu Qingrou seemed to live in a world of her own. To her, the other trainees were invisible—she never acknowledged them.
If not for the need to respond during drills, most trainees would've thought she was mute.
When she entered, she naturally saw Qin Feng too.
Her eyes sharpened, and she instinctively clenched her fists.
She gritted her teeth silently: I will tame a Malevolent Ghost, no matter what!
It was clear she had an unyielding spirit.
Soon, both she and the other trainee swallowed their crystals.
The other one immediately collapsed, convulsing and screaming in pain.
But Liu Qingrou stood firm—though her face turned pale, she gritted her teeth and endured the Paranormal Energy ravaging her body.
It was a far better outcome than the poor soul writhing on the ground.
"This female trainee can endure the ghostly invasion. She might actually succeed in taming a Malevolent Ghost."
It was high praise from Liu Ming.
But he quickly added:
"Still, she's far from your level."
After all, when Qin Feng underwent the process, the Paranormal Energy didn't seem to affect him at all.
It was an incomparable difference.
"Maybe I was just born with a paranormal constitution," Qin Feng said casually.
In truth, it was all thanks to the system.
Without it, he probably couldn't have withstood the Paranormal Energy either.
Five minutes later—
Liu Qingrou finally adjusted to the Paranormal Energy in her body.
But she was drenched in sweat and still trembling slightly.
Clearly, resisting the invasion had taken a massive toll.
Meanwhile, the other trainee was already dead and being carried away.
"Let's go take a look."
"If she dies at the hands of the Malevolent Ghost, you'll have to go in and reseal it."
Liu Ming motioned for Qin Feng to come with him.
"I hope she succeeds in taming it," Qin Feng said as they walked.
It wasn't that he feared having to subdue the ghost.
He could see that Liu Qingrou had a drive and determination far beyond anyone else's.
He was curious—what was pushing her so hard?
When the two of them reached the golden chamber containing the ghost hair, Professor Lin instructed Liu Qingrou to open the golden box.
She took a deep breath and opened it without hesitation.
Inside was a thick, jet-black, sinister mass of hair.
At the roots were bits of bloody scalp—deeply disturbing to behold.
The moment the box opened, a chilling aura filled the chamber.
A sense of oppression and dread fell over everyone.
Buzz!
The lights flickered twice—then went out completely.
The moment the ghost hair was freed from the box—
It moved as if growing at lightning speed, instantly wrapping around Liu Qingrou's outstretched hands and spreading over her body, consuming her completely.
In no time, she was enveloped like a black mummy.
The hair even wrapped around her head.
Second by second, time ticked by.
A black cocoon stood motionless in the golden room.
Everyone outside grew anxious.
"It's coming!" Liu Ming suddenly said.
The black cocoon began to change.
The ghost hair slowly withdrew from her feet upward, gradually revealing her figure.
The lights flickered back on.
A moment later—
Liu Qingrou stood before them once more.
Her face was still deathly pale, drenched in sweat. She bit down on her lower lip so hard it had started to bleed.
Her clothes were wrinkled and tight from the constriction.
And her once shoulder-length hair now flowed all the way to her hips, giving her a mature allure she hadn't had before.
With that—
The Ghost taming trials concluded.
In the end, only Qin Feng and Wang Yiyi succeeded in taming a Malevolent Ghost and becoming Ghost Tamers.
All the other 300+ trainees perished.
