This Taoist Master is too Frivolous

Chapter 26: This is the real silver streak in the waves!

Translator: 549690339

On the surface of the river, Xu Yang swam with his arms and legs alternately kicking the water, chasing the Water Ghost in a freestyle swimming posture!

He had taught himself to swim in the canal when he was a child, making his swimming style unorthodox.

His posture was far from standard.

However, his speed was fast; with his magic power circulating throughout his arms and legs, as well as the aid of the Water Manipulation Skill, he was like a speedboat cutting across the waters surface, leaving a trail of waves in his wake!

Holy shit!

On the shore, Ma Long exclaimed, Now this is what you call swimming like a fish!

In the river.

No

Please spare my life, Master Daoist!

Ill never harm anyone again!

The Water Ghost was utterly terrified!

She felt her entire worldview being turned upside down by this sudden turn of events!

Imagine this: a Water Ghost herself, nearly drowned underwater. Can you believe it?

She struggled to escape from the young Daoists grasp, thinking she could find a way out, only to discover that he was even faster than her in the water!

She swam desperately forward.

She tried to transform into Yin energy and hide within the water.

But to her horror, she discovered that her efforts were futile; the water in the Yellow River was no longer her ally, but rather her enemy, preventing her from merging with it!

Ding!

The Water Ghost is frightened, earning you +1 merit point.

Still just 1

And I cant even trigger the Water Manipulation Skill anymore!

Xu Yang sighed.

Just before, when the Water Ghost was nearly drowned, her Yin energy had weakened, causing the merit points she provided to decrease from +10 to merely +1, and the Water Manipulation Skill was no longer provided.

Thats why Xu Yang deliberately let her go, giving the Water Ghost a glimmer of hope, thinking it might stimulate her hidden potential.

The truth was

It didnt.

Never mind.

Ive already drained her dry, so I wont scare her anymore. Ill just put her out of her misery!

His magical power circulated.

The Water Manipulation Skill was unleashed.

Whoosh!

Xu Yang, who was already moving at high speed on the waters surface, increased his pace by fifty percent; his peachwood sword swayed in his hand, cleaving the Water Ghost in two.

Her Yin energy dissipated into the air.

Ding!

Congratulations, youve performed a good deed by granting the lost souls peaceful passage. Reward: +100 merit points.

The system notification echoed in his mind.

Xu Yang glanced at the attribute panel.

Name: Xu Yang

Age: 22 years old

Daoist Arts: Divine Ascension Scripture

Daoist skills: Fire Manipulation Skill, Water Manipulation Skill

Cultivation: Qi Refining Realm Fourth Layer

Artifact: Supreme Purification Seal (Daoist Artifact)

Merit Points: 358 points.

Storage Space: 10 cubic yards

Ive accumulated over 300 merit points again?

This trip was totally worth it!

He originally had 300 merit points, which he used to upgrade the Water Manipulation Skill. Then he gained another 358 merit points from the Water Ghost, not only breaking even but also earning an extra 58 merit points with tears in his eyes.

Of course.

The biggest gain from this trip was the Water Manipulation Skill.

Both the Fire Manipulation Skill and the Water Manipulation Skill were Daoist skills that could only be controlled by those in the realm of Daoism, but Xu Yang had learned them at the Fourth Layer of the Qi Refining Realm. If word got out, all the great Daoist sects would be in an uproar!

With these thoughts in mind, Xu Yang swam towards the shore.

Xu Yang!

Old Xu!

Seeing that Xu Yang was safe and sound, Ma Long cried while cursing, I knew it! I knew you son of a bitch was so damn lucky that you couldnt possibly die like that.

Xu Yang made it to the shore.

He took a look at the two people standing next to Ma Long and raised an eyebrow, asking, And who might you two be?

He sensed a strong aura emanating from their bodies.

That aura was somewhat similar to Wang Weis.

But it was slightly stronger than Wang Weis.

As Xu Yang observed the two people, they were also observing him.

The sword in his hand must be a peach wood sword, right?

This thing is standard equipment for a Daoist.

Moreover, he indeed had the fluctuations of a Daoists magical power on him.

However, his aura didnt seem very strong. How did he manage to survive underwater for six or seven minutes unscathed and even kill the Water Ghost?

From Ma Longs account, the two already knew Xu Yangs name.

Just now, when Xu Yang swam like a speedboat in pursuit of the Water Ghost on the surface of the river, the Water Ghosts cries for help deeply imprinted in their minds. It wasnt until Xu Yang asked a question that the two came to their senses.

The man stepped forward and extended his hand, saying, Hello Master Xu, my name is Wang Lin, a member of the Xi Xia Spirits Management Bureau stationed in Wu City. This is our deputy captain, Bai Wei.

Spirits Management Bureau?

Could it be the special department Officer Wang mentioned?

Xu Yang secretly guessed in his mind.

They shook hands.

As good as an introduction.

As Wang Lin shook hands with Xu Yang, he was surprised once again!

He found that Xu Yang was completely dry, without a hint of water stains. It didnt seem like he had just come ashore from the river.

Bai Wei also noticed this and smiled, Master Xu is truly amazing! The Water Ghost has been dwelling in this river area for two months and even caused a human death. Her strength in the water is very powerful. Unless one is a Daoist realm expert or a martial arts grandmaster, she cant be dealt with in the water!

Now, Master Xu got rid of the ghost in the water, removing this evil for the people of Wu City. It is a great deed for the people and a huge favor for our Spirits Management Bureau!

Xu Yang smiled and said, I just happened to encounter it while fishing and did what I could.

Inside his heart.

He began to ponder.

Spirits Management Bureau?

A special national department

From the tone of Bai Wei, it seemed that their responsibilities were not limited to maintaining martial world order. They should also be responsible for dealing with supernatural events. Otherwise, they wouldnt be called the Spirits Management Bureau, but rather the Martial Affairs Bureau.

I need to frighten various ghosts and improve my own strength!

Since the Spirits Management Bureau is responsible for handling supernatural incidents, they must know many ghosts. Perhaps I can find some ghosts through them

Thoughts were flashing through his mind.

However, Xu Yang didnt reveal anything.

Instead, he said, Miss Bai, Mr. Wang, its getting late, so Ill head back first.

Ma Long, who was standing next to him, had already put his clothes on.

He seemed to be in a daze, staring blankly, having been frightened.

Hearing Xu Yang calling him, he finally came to his senses.

The two of them went to the roadside, got into the BMW, and drove to the funeral store. After parking the car outside, Ma Long suddenly panicked and exclaimed in shock, Old Xu, there are really ghosts!

Xu Yang:

He grabbed Xu Yangs shoulder, shook it violently, and stared at Xu Yang with wide eyes, Old Xu, have you really killed that ghost? Does that mean you werent lying when you said you learned Daoist skills in school?

Have you really studied Daoist arts?

Can you really catch ghosts?

Xu Yang was both amused and exasperated. He pushed Ma Longs hands away and said, Ma Long, dont be so agitated Theres a long story behind this. Since youve been frightened tonight, why dont you go home and get some sleep?

No!

Ma Long shook his head like a rattle drum, My parents arent home, and Im the only one in the several hundred square yard villa. Im scared. Im sleeping with you tonight!

He stepped out of the car before Xu Yang.

Xu Yang had no choice.

He opened the rolling shutter and entered the funeral store with Ma Long.

But they soon found out

Ma Longs eyes widened, his expression like he had seen a ghost. He stared hard at the staircase, his teeth chattering loudly.

Xu Yang took a peek.

It was the female ghost.

She might have heard the noise and was curious to see what was happening downstairs, so she was floating around in her disheveled state at the top of the stairs.

Huh?

Seeing Ma Long staring at her, the female ghost became very curious and waved her fingers, writing a line of blood in the air, Can you see me?

Ma Long:

He struggled to turn his head and looked at Xu Yang.

Ghost

Ghost

Old Xu, theres a ghost in your house!

As he spoke.

His eyes rolled back, and he fainted straight onto the ground..
