Ye Qingyao's ghostly spirit told her.

The ghostly spirit within Jiang Che was injured and incomplete.

If it came down to a real fight, she could definitely devour him completely.

Thus, Ye Qingyao's ghostly spirit kept urging her to make a move against Jiang Che.

After all, devouring another ghostly spirit was a quick way to "level up."

However, what he didn't know was...

The moment he noticed Xiaoman, Xiaoman deliberately hid her presence.

His perception was just his own delusion.

Xiaoman might not have a head, but that didn't mean she was brainless.

...

"Let's start by cutting off your arm!"

Ye Qingyao revealed a sinister smile, her right hand transforming into a sharp bone blade, slashing directly at Jiang Che's right shoulder!

"Clang—!!!"

A piercing sound rang out.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

Ye Qingyao: "..."

Jiang Che: "..."

The blood blade ghost within Ye Qingyao: "..."

Xiaoman: "ᕦ(･ㅂ･)ᕤ"

"How, how is this possible?!"

Ye Qingyao opened her mouth, her face filled with terror.

Her ghostly spirit was E-level, and at the upper tier of E-level at that!

Logically, this slash should have easily severed Jiang Che's arm. Even if his ghostly spirit helped, it shouldn't have been able to block it.

However, the reality was...

Her slash landed.

Jiang Che was unharmed.

Instead, the bone blade formed by her right hand cracked!

"You, you..."

"What do you mean 'you'?"

Jiang Che grabbed Ye Qingyao's arm and squeezed hard!

"Crack!"

The bone snapped instantly!

Then, Jiang Che kicked Ye Qingyao in the abdomen.

Sending her flying over ten meters away!

Blood Blade Ghost: "The ghostly spirit inside him is at least D-level! Run!!!"

Ye Qingyao: "Didn't you say his ghostly spirit was weak?!"

Blood Blade Ghost: "Shut up and run, or we'll both die here!"

Ye Qingyao glared fiercely at Jiang Che, then turned and ran!

"Run?"

With Xiaoman's power boosting him, Jiang Che felt invincible.

"Do you think you can escape?"

Jiang Che pushed off with his feet, turning into a series of afterimages!

Then, a whip-like kick landed squarely on Ye Qingyao's face!

"Ah!"

Ye Qingyao was sent flying backward.

Her face caved in, Jiang Che's kick shattering her facial bones.

"Still not quitting?"

In Jiang Che's view, Ye Qingyao should now understand the gap between them.

Since they had already torn off the pretense, quitting the Mystic World would be her best option.

But it seemed she...

Wasn't willing to quit?

Ye Qingyao rolled several meters on the ground.

Her body reverted to its original form during the brief skirmish.

At this moment, the ghostly spirit within her had retreated, while Xiaoman hadn't even finished warming up.

"Looks like you have a chance to revive." Jiang Che smirked.

At this point, Ye Qingyao, with half her face collapsed, endured the intense pain and said.

"Indeed, provoking you was my biggest mistake..."

"I'm curious, how did you manage to make a contract with such a powerful Uncanny?"

Jiang Che shrugged: "Because I'm handsome."

Ye Qingyao: "..."

Xiaoman: "Hello?"

Jiang Che now harbored a killing intent towards Ye Qingyao.

But with the settings of revival and quitting, killing her became troublesome.

At this moment, Ye Qingyao said, "Jiang Che, you're strong. This time, I was wrong, and I apologize."

"The two hundred thousand I promised you before, I'll make it two million."

"Don't worry, my Ye family won't miss this two million."

"Oh right, you're from the Ye family, one of the Mystic families in Tianqing City." Jiang Che rubbed his chin, as if recalling something.

Ye Qingyao corrected him: "One of the three major Mystic families in the city."

Mystic families are easy to understand; they have been Uncanny challengers for generations.

Such families often produce geniuses more easily, and their status is much higher than ordinary people.

At this point, Xiaoman spoke up: "Don't listen to her nonsense. If you don't kill her, she'll be a future threat."

Jiang Che: "I know."

Xiaoman: "Then why aren't you acting?"

Jiang Che: "No rush, she can still revive now and can quit anytime. I need to find a foolproof way..."

Seeing Jiang Che hesitate, Ye Qingyao thought he was truly intimidated by her family, so she quickly increased the stakes.

"Jiang Che, if you help me complete this Uncanny Trial, two million is just an appetizer..."

"Your family is that wealthy?" Jiang Che raised an eyebrow.

Ye Qingyao: "Money is just a number to us. Our family also has many ghostly objects, even Taboo Objects..."

Jiang Che pretended to ponder for a moment, then said.

"Alright, I'll cooperate with you, but if you dare to make a move against me again, I won't care about your Ye family!"

"Better to break than bend, got it?"

Ye Qingyao: "Deal."

Jiang Che smirked and said, "But in your current state, you should be close to death, right?"

Ye Qingyao coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood, smiling bitterly: "Yes, being beaten like this by you, I definitely won't survive."

"But it's okay, I can still revive, right?"

Jiang Che frowned slightly: "Can you hold on? After all, there's still three days, and you only have one chance to revive. If you use it now, I don't want you dragging me down later."

Ye Qingyao: "That's not something you need to worry about..."

"Jiang Che."

"See you tomorrow."

Jiang Che: "See you tomorrow~"

Then, Ye Qingyao directly twisted her own neck.

Died.

Soon, her body began to disappear.

In a few seconds, she would revive in her dormitory.

Jiang Che squinted his eyes.

This woman, to be able to so decisively twist her own neck.

Her revival chances are definitely more than once...

Moreover... the method Ye Qingyao used to subdue the Instructor last night was still unclear.

Jiang Che's head hurt a bit.

The challenge task had finally made significant progress, but now he had to figure out a way to deal with the hidden threat of Ye Qingyao.

More importantly, in three days, he had to participate in the big test at Fractured Bone High School.

For a slacker, that's even harder than playing Sekiro!

"Sigh..."

Forget it, I'll think about it tomorrow.

Jiang Che sighed and headed towards the dormitory.

...

...

The abandoned dormitory returned to silence.

However, after both of them left.

A man in a sharp suit silently appeared there.

He looked in the direction Jiang Che had left.

Blood lines crawled and spread across his face...
