Chapter 6: A Suit-Wearing Thug Without a Suit Is Just a Pathetic Nobody

“Foxfire!”

As Chu Tian was thrown backward, a burst of flame suddenly flew from the side, crashing toward the man in the suit.

Chen Meng’s hands were wrapped in fire, claws slashing behind the suited man!

The man twisted his body and delivered a whip-like kick toward Chen Meng.

Chen Meng’s injuries were already severe. Although Chu Tian’s temporary recovery had helped, the kick from the suited man worsened his condition, causing him to spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.

“Chen Meng! Fall back!” Seeing this, Chu Tian roared in anger and controlled the Soul Chain to charge at the suited man again!

The two exchanged blows—punches and kicks flying back and forth. Although Chu Tian was a Ghost Officer and his overall cultivation was close to that of the tiger demon, it’s not as if anyone could be Wu Song under equal circumstances!

Besides, Chu Tian had mainly been a ghost catcher before and wasn’t particularly skilled in martial arts.

Thus, although the fight seemed evenly matched for now, if it dragged on, Chu Tian might truly not stand a chance against the tiger demon!

“Kid, you must have felt it too, right? You’re no match for me!” The suited man’s attacks were powerful and heavy, each strike like a tiger descending from the mountain, with the elegance of a master dealing with a novice.

“So what? What can you do to me?” Chu Tian responded as he parried.

“You’re a ghost cultivator; your body is inherently weak. Your ghosts mean nothing to me. Kid, are you sure you want to make an enemy of me today?” The suited man attacked while speaking. “If you don’t stop me today, I’ll capture that fox demon and leave—won’t disturb you a bit!”

“Sorry, I only yield to softness, not strength!” Chu Tian retorted, but in that moment of distraction, the suited man struck him with a sudden punch to the face.

“Chu, kid!” As Chu Tian flew backward, Elder Li caught him from behind.

“Elder Li, you…” But Elder Li couldn’t fully catch Chu Tian; his body passed through Elder Li’s spirit and crashed onto the ground.

At the same time, Elder Li stuffed four ghostly energy clusters back into Chu Tian’s hands.

“Those are the last four vengeful spirits of that tiger demon! Chu kid, I can only help you this far. We can’t do anything against this tiger demon.” After saying this, Elder Li limped away faster than anyone else, heading toward the red bathrobe ghost and the phthisis ghost. Chu Tian’s five little ghosts stood firmly at a distance, all giving him a determined look.

Looking at the ghost power in his hands, Chu Tian grinned and swallowed all four clusters at once!

Suddenly, a surge of chilling, dark energy spread throughout his body.

Chu Tian seemed to be engulfed in blue flames!

He was only one step away from breaking through his cultivation level.

Tonight, having absorbed the ghost power of five evil spirits, the shackles within his body were finally washed away by the abundant ghost energy.

Among ghost officers, the lowest rank is the ghost soldier. Though they perform soul-harvesting duties, they aren’t even considered contract workers—more like temporary staff.

Above the ghost soldiers are the true ghost officers.

Ghost officers are divided into three departments: Yin Ghost Envoys, Soul Capturers, and Demon Underworld Envoys.

The Yin Ghost Envoys command ghost kings, day patrol envoys, and night patrol envoys, specializing in combating various evil spirits—a violent law enforcement agency.

The Soul Capturers command the Black and White Impermanence and the Ox-Head and Horse-Face guardians, managing the daily affairs of life and death.

The Demon Underworld Envoys command Leopard Tails, Bird Beaks, Fish Gills, and Wasps, overseeing the reincarnation of beasts, birds, fish, and insects respectively.

When a ghost soldier is promoted to a ghost officer, they must choose one of these three departments to serve in.

Originally, Chu Tian planned to become a day patrol envoy under the Yin Ghost Envoys. These envoys specialize in fighting evil spirits and can use ghost officer abilities even during the day, making it the perfect choice.

But now…

Plans can’t keep up with changes!

Blue energy surged on Chu Tian’s body, deep blue light radiating from his eyes.

The blue energy gradually transformed into a ghost officer’s uniform on him.

Bones realigned and adjusted inside his body with cracking sounds.

Chu Tian had made his choice!

Demon Underworld Envoy—Leopard Tail!

“How can a ghost cultivator have demonic power in his body?” The suited man’s pupils constricted in disbelief as he questioned Chu Tian.

“Defense becomes offense!” Chu Tian didn’t answer but focused on the changes within him, a faint look of excitement appearing on his face.

So… I’ve been mistaken all along? The Demon Underworld Envoy seems to be exactly what I need!

As soon as Chu Tian finished speaking, he stomped the ground and charged at the suited man, breaking the sound barrier with a boom.

The tiger demon’s expression changed. Now, he crossed his arms defensively, mirroring Chu Tian’s earlier stance.

The Leopard Tail envoy—a subordinate of the Demon Underworld Envoy—specializes in luring the souls of beasts into the underworld. If they resist or refuse to leave their bodies, they are beaten into submission, then immobilized and taken away.

In some respects, the Demon Underworld Envoys possess the strongest physical prowess among ghost officers.

“Kid, I’m getting serious now!” After being blasted back by a punch, the tiger demon roared. His suit tore apart, revealing a muscular torso as solid as marble, with a tiger’s pelt seemingly growing over his skin in Chu Tian’s eyes!

In an instant, the suited man transformed into a half-human, half-tiger being.

“Kid, this is my strongest form. You should be honored to have forced me to reveal it!”

“Coincidentally, I’m feeling at my strongest too!” Chu Tian said. The Soul Chain behind him moved like a gale, wrapping around the tiger demon’s limbs before he could react, binding his hands, feet, neck, and even his fifth limb.

“What?” The tiger demon, just about to unleash his power, realized he was already restrained by Chu Tian’s Soul Chain—much faster than before!

“What’s a suit-wearing thug without a suit?” Chu Tian closed in, fists raining down like thunder, pounding the tiger demon unconscious!

At that moment, Chu Tian struck the tiger demon’s forehead, and an intense tiger ghost spirit was immediately expelled from his body.

“You… you’re not a ghost cultivator?” The lingering tiger spirit stared at Chu Tian in horror.

“Correct, I’m a ghost officer!” Chu Tian whispered, the Soul Chain wrapping tightly around the tiger spirit, forming a glowing orb.

“A ghost officer? Impossible! The night parade of a hundred ghosts, the resurgence of ten thousand demons—the underworld is just a myth made to fool ghosts! There can be no such thing!”

The tiger demon seemed about to say more, but his consciousness was erased by Chu Tian’s Soul Chain before he could finish.
