With the sound of the ghost's wail echoing, the middle-aged man suddenly became enveloped in a red glow and lunged at Coco.
"Hey what are you doing?"
Another middle-aged man shouted in panic.
"He's been possessed by the ghost!"
Seeing the possessed man charge, Nathan Lin didn't panic. He swiftly kicked out with all his might.
His body had been enhanced twice, now at about 2.5 times the strength of a regular person.
The force of his kick was tremendous, he could easily knock a normal person flying.
However, the middle-aged man, possessed by the starving ghost, had gained incredible strength. Nathan Lin's kick only made him stagger back a few steps before he charged forward again.
His mouth opened wide—an unnaturally deep, toothless black abyss, clearly a manifestation of the starving ghost's own insatiable hunger.
At that moment, Coco finally moved.
Her third eye closed, and she swiftly confronted the ghost's attack. With a firm grasp of her small hands, she pulled out a black shadow.
The starving ghost shrieked as the surroundings around them turned pitch black.
The cave had vanished, replaced by black, squirming walls, as though they were inside a living being's stomach.
"We're inside the starving ghost's stomach!"
The other middle-aged man gasped, horrified.
Just then, a burst of red light erupted.
The starving ghost let out a spine-chilling scream, followed by the sound of the "walls" being violently torn apart.
The cave reappeared as the darkness faded.
"Task completed. You have gained 300 Ghost Spirit Experience, Ghost Spirit Potential 1, and Bond 1."
"Your Ghost Spirit killed the 'Starving Ghost,' gaining Spirit Energy and part of the Devouring Talent."
The system's voice echoed.
The ghost was eliminated!
Nathan Lin observed that Coco had returned to her white skirt form.
"Let's go, Coco!"
With the task complete, Nathan Lin had no reason to linger any longer.
"Huh? You're back already?"
As Nathan Lin descended the mountain, the Ghost Tamers who had been watching asked.
Nathan Lin simply replied, "It's done."
"Done? Already? Is that for real?"
The leader of the group was skeptical.
"Yes, Town Chief, it's true. We saw it with our own eyes."
The two middle-aged men confirmed and retold the events.
The leader of the Ghost Tamers now looked at Nathan Lin with surprise.
"I didn't expect that. You're quite capable. We'll verify the details, and within three days, your contribution points will be credited."
Nathan Lin nodded. "Alright."
After all, contribution points weren't Nathan Lin's main concern. He just wanted to level up safely and quickly.
Having completed the task, Nathan Lin left the Grain Town.
"Boss, who is this kid? He's so young and already capable of handling a Dangerous-Grade ghost? If he doesn't die, he'll definitely become terrifyingly powerful."
As Nathan Lin left, a twenty-something-year-old Ghost Tamer couldn't help but ask.
This Ghost Tamer was 23 years old and only a level 2 Ghost Tamer himself. Even though his Ghost Spirit was also Dangerous-Grade, it didn't compare to Nathan Lin's.
The leader of the group shook his head. "Not sure. Maybe he's a prodigy sent by some big force, a genius with a Spirit Conduit."
"A Spirit Conduit...
The group of Ghost Tamers looked at Nathan Lin's retreating figure with a mix of envy and awe.
"Next target, Ning Village."
Not long after leaving Grain Town, Nathan Lin had already found his next objective.
Yes, Nathan Lin was determined to keep hunting Dangerous-Grade ghosts to level up Coco and gain more experience!
The tasks from Willow City Base were perfect for this—they allowed Nathan Lin to find and handle Dangerous-Grade ghosts safely while continuously earning experience and contribution points.
For Nathan Lin, dealing with Daily-Grade and Normal-Grade ghosts had become completely unappealing.
After Coco reached Dangerous-Grade, killing lower-level ghosts would provide little to no experience.
Dangerous-Grade ghosts were only level 2, which was a significant threat to ordinary people. However, their abilities were fairly limited, and for Coco—who could transform into Red Skirt form—they were no challenge at all.
Thus, Nathan Lin had become a leveling maniac, easily wiping out Dangerous-Grade ghosts.
On the first day, Nathan Lin eliminated ghosts in both Grain Town and Ning Village.
Instead of returning to Willow City, Nathan Lin decided to stay the night in Ning Village. It was a place where many workers and Ghost Tamers who operated outside the city resided.
Willow City Base was expanding rapidly, and such small towns and villages had been cropping up more and more.
Although the outskirts were dangerous, the opportunity to earn more money drew many adventurers, especially middle-aged men and women.
The next day, Nathan Lin visited three more locations and eliminated three Dangerous-Grade ghosts.
He had already become a "leveling maniac."
While the other 300 students in Willow City Base were still stuck clearing Daily-Grade and Normal-Grade ghosts in the innermost defensive line, Nathan Lin had completed several tasks, earned hundreds of contribution points, and accumulated enough experience to level up Coco to the next stage.
That meant Coco was now at the level of a "Perilous-Grade" ghost!
A Ghost Tamer with a Perilous-Grade ghost was equivalent to a level 3 Ghost Tamer!
