Translator: 549690339
These exercise books and test papers were specifically bought by Xu Yang from a stationary shop when he came here.
When he search online for the Dawa Elementary School paranormal event, he accidentally found out about the situation in the southern mountainous area about a decade ago.
The rural conditions here were very poor at that time.
These students simply didnt have the money to buy exercise books. As soon as they got out of school, they had to do chores, herd sheep, gather firewood, cut grass, dig for licorice
Needless to say, they must have yearned to study!
So, he thought of buying a few sets of exercise books and test papers along the way, as compensation after scaring them.
But when he pulled out the test papers and exercise books, the four little demons crying became even louder.
Ding!
Ghost has been scared, merit points +1.
Ding!
Ghost has been scared, merit points +1.

Xu Yang:
Looking at these crying minor demons, he felt more guilty. He wanted to comfort them but didnt know how to start, so he pretended to be stern and shouted, All of you stop crying, what the hell are you crying for, Im here to bring you warmth, not to eat you!
Ding!
Ghost has been scared, merit points +1.
Ding
The system notifications rang more cheerfully.
On the side, both the weak-kneed Taozi and the photographer were taken aback.
This
Whats the situation?
Whats this mans background?
He actually scared the four ghosts to cry out loud?
Seeing that playing the bad man wouldnt work, Xu Yang immediately pushed the iron door open and walked in, standing on the podium, he said, Dont be afraid, kids, Uncle isnt a bad person, Uncle wont hurt you
After his multiple attempts at persuasion.
The four little demons finally stopped crying.
The little girl wearing floral quilted jacket with her hair in pigtails looked up at Xu Yang and asked hesitatingly, Uncle, you really wont hurt us?
Of course!
Xu Yang chuckled, You all are so cute, how could I ever harm you? You see these exercise books, they are gifts that I specifically brought from the stationary shop for you all. Come, come on up and get your exercise books, everyone gets one!
Ding!
Ghost has been scared, merit points +1.
Ding
The eyes of the four little demons filled with resistance.
However, after seeing the hammer and the peachwood sword in Xu Yangs hands, they chose to line up and step forward.
But then, a bizarre scene unfolded.
Their hands passed right through the exercise books, they simply couldnt pick up the test papers.
The little boy whom he had previously bobbled his head like a soccer ball sniffed up his running nose and joyfully said, Uncle, were dead, were ghosts, we cant write in the exercise books.
The other three kids also had expressions of joy.
Ah, this
Xu Yang was dumbfounded!
The little boy was quite clever, he added, Uncle, we understand your kindness, youre a good person, thank you.
What a sensible child!
Xu Yang squatted down, pat the little boys head, and smiled saying, But rest assured, Uncle has a way By the way, whats your name?
The little boy said, My name is Wang Xiaomao.
He took out a pen and wrote the three characters Wang Xiaomao on an exercise book.
After that, he took out a lighter.
Click!
Struck a fire.
Ignited.
In the classroom, a blaze sprung up.
As the exercise book turned into ashes.
A brand new exercise book appeared out of thin air in Wang Xiaomaos hands.
Wang Xiaomao:
Ding!
Ghost has been scared, merit points +1.
Seeing this scene, the other three children began to cry again.
Dont cry, dont cry!
Rest assured, the test papers and exercise books are plentiful, everyone will have a share.
Xu Yang felt somewhat helpless, he asked, What are your names? Ill burn the test papers and exercise books for you now
Dont burn!
Uncle, dont burn!
Xu Yang: Its okay, just a few test papers and workbooks, theyre not worth much. This is just a token of my goodwill.
Ding!
Ghost received a shock, virtue value +1.
Ding
Another system alert sound rang out, causing Xu Yang to be taken aback Im just burning some test papers, do you have to be so scared?
The frequency of virtue values was even faster than before!
What happened to the thirst for learning?
Huh?
He was about to burn the rest of the test papers and workbooks when suddenly his eyebrows twitched, looking towards the corner at the back of the classroom.
In the corner of the wall.
A glow of bright red light emerged.
Batches of firelight ignited from nothingness, illuminating the entire classroom in a glowing red color.
The air was filled with the smell of something scorched.
A wave of heat was rushing towards him!
Ghost!
The monster is back!
Uncle, save me
Monster? What monster?
Xu Yangs expression grew serious.
Didnt they say the fire years ago killed a teacher and four students? How did another monster appear?
In his right hand held a peach wood sword, and in his left a hammer, he prepared for the worst.
There were plenty of Daoist skills in the Divine Ascension Scripture.
Perhaps because the Divine Ascension Scripture was too advanced, these Daoist skills required formidable cultivation support at least the Qi Refining Realm level four was needed for cultivation, especially since Xu Yang had no practical experience, he was inevitably a bit flustered.
Whir!
Flames ignited.
Finally, nine ghost fires were formed.
The ghost fires glowed dimly, casting faint green flames, and they quickly merged together, turning into a fire man about 2 meters tall, entirely engulfed in ghost fires!
Uncle, its this one!
Its this monster that killed us and Mr. Huang It devoured Mr. Huangs soul!
Wang Xiaomao, so scared that he didnt care about his runny nose any longer, hid behind Xu Yang. In his eyes, hatred and fear intertwined as he stared at the fire man and said: Uncle, cant you catch ghosts? Can you help us get revenge?
All four childrens eyes were full of anticipation.
Their eyes were crystal clear.
Without a trace of impurity.
Xu Yang gripped the peach wood sword tightly and nodded.
The next moment
Whoosh!
The fire man suddenly turned into a streak of firelight rushing towards Xu Yang.
In Xu Yangs mind, he exclaimed: Oh crap! Without any combat experience, he suddenly panicked.
Yet people
Under such panic, they have certain reflexes.
He involuntarily tilted his upper body back and raised the peach wood sword to block in front of him.
The scorching firelight hit the peach wood sword. With a sizzle, it shattered into sparks that scattered onto the classroom floor and then quickly coalesced back into a fire man.
This time, it did not charge at him immediately.
Instead, it tilted its head, carefully examining Xu Yang, fixated on the peach wood sword in Xu Yangs hand!
In its hollow eyes, which emitted fiery light, there was a sense of fear.
What
Is that sword?
Why
Does it fill me with a hint of fear?
This fire ghost was different from normal ghosts.
It seemed to have a lower IQ, being in a kind of insane state, but its remaining sanity told him not to casually provoke the human before him!
However, the violent flames on its body immediately flared up even more intensely, its remaining sanity faded, and the fire ghost transformed into firelight and rushed towards Xu Yang again.
This time, Xu Yang reacted.
He swung his sword downward, splitting the incoming firelight into two.
Flames scattered all over the ground.
Once again they coalesced into the fire man.
But this time the flames on its body were slightly smaller than before, and the fear in its hollow eyes was even stronger.
Ding!
The fire ghost received a shock, virtue value +10, Fire Manipulation Skill +1.
Xu Yang: ???
