Chapter 4: The Soul of a Warrior
Lian Yun bowed deeply to Liu Haitao, then silently moved forward, approaching the Box, placing one hand on it. His expression was calm, with a hint of a smile as he looked at the Hound Spirit that was growling and baring its teeth at him.
At this moment, he felt grateful for Liu Haitao's kindness, but it was not merely because the spirit in the box was a dog that he felt inclined to take it as a servant.
Instead, Lian Yun saw in the fierce and piercing gaze of the Dog Spirit a feeling that resonated deeply with his own!
Once high above, he had faced loneliness and persecution from his own kind—a profound sense of solitude and isolation that was hard to articulate.
This dog must have been a Dog King in life, once majestic and powerful. It likely suffered injuries in battle while protecting its pack, only to be betrayed by its own kind and perish, unwilling to accept its fate and transforming into a ghost!
Feeling a kinship in their shared suffering, Lian Yun did not feel pity; rather, he experienced an indescribable, subtle joy.
Initially, the Dog Spirit had been fierce towards Lian Yun, growling incessantly and almost ready to attack. However, gradually it began to understand the look in Lian Yun's eyes. Its demeanor softened, and it lowered its head slightly, wagging its massive tail slowly before cautiously approaching. It raised its head just enough to gently lick the spot where Lian Yun's hand rested on the Box.
Though it was licking the wall of the Box, Liu Haitao seized the moment and quickly opened it before darting behind Lin Feiyu for cover.
Yet no matter how much he tried to squeeze himself behind Lin Feiyu's back, his large frame could not fully hide!
The sight elicited both laughter and confusion among the others.
It was easy to imagine that he must have used some trickery to acquire this Dog Spirit.
The Dog Spirit cast a cold glance of disdain at Liu Haitao before stepping forward, lifting its head slightly to nudge against Lian Yun's still-outstretched hand!
"I do not wish to make you my servant; I only need you by my side. However, I am harmful to Spirit, so I hope you will invade my body!"
Whoosh~~
The Dog Spirit shrank in size and landed on Lian Yun's shoulder, a mysterious cloud floating to Lian Yun's lips, emanating an irresistible aura from its Ghost Body.
It implied that without signing a contract, full protection could not be guaranteed!
Seeing this, Lian Yun felt both delighted and slightly helpless.
To be unable to refuse meant signing the contract.
"Wow, wow, wow~~ I've gained another good brother! Hahaha! Come, come, come, follow me!" Big Head Ghost was like Lian Yun's spirit summoner. Every time Lian Yun signed a contract with a Ghost Slave, he was overjoyed. As soon as the contract was completed, he rushed out again.
This time, he seemed even happier than ever.
However, the Dog Spirit was quite proud. It extended its paw and with a swipe of Ling Kong, sent Big Head Ghost flying! Then it lazily lay down on Lian Yun's shoulder.
"Big Head, don’t rush. Take your time to get along; I believe Black will accept you!"
"Black? Boss, your naming skills are really lacking! You should have chosen something more powerful like Roaring Tyrant, Lightning, or Wind Chaser!" Big Head Ghost was not angry but rather looked down on Lian Yun's ability to name things.
This showed how much Big Head cared for Black. After all, he had never complained about his own name 'Big Head', but now he was criticizing Lian Yun's naming skills for the first time because of Black.
To this, Lian Yun felt a bit surprised but held no resentment; instead, he felt a sense of joy. After all, his treatment of the Ghost Slaves was more about companionship than demanding their respect.
Feeling that there was no resentment towards his name from the Black, Lian Yun did not accept Big Head's proposal. Instead, he turned around and smiled lightly, saying, "Let's go!"
"Go?" Lin Feiyu, Lin Nan, and Sun Chendong questioned in unison.
The first Ghost Slave was a Monarch that was hard to come by; the other two were clearly also of very high quality. Even if they were not as good as 'Black', they wouldn't be far behind!
The three of them completely did not understand why Lian Yun chose to leave without even looking at the other two Spirits.
"Today's harvest has already been too abundant; how can we continue to be greedy? Besides, my heart is hard to divide!"
Although he had only obtained three Ghost Slaves, they were all spirits that Lian Yun admired. If he were to acquire too many, he would find it difficult to care for each Ghost Slave equally. At least for now, he needed some time to cultivate a deep bond with the seven Ghost Slaves he currently had (including the Three Spirits) before continuing to collect more.
This was Lian Yun's thought process!
However, Liu Haitao was a bit anxious: "Young Master Yun may choose not to look at the other one, but you cannot ignore this one. Without your spiritual power now, having this ghost as a guardian will ensure your safety much more!"
Suddenly, a canvas was pulled taut with urgency!
"Wow~~ My beloved general, hurry~~ come over to Chen Dong, quickly possess Chen Dong!"
Sun Chendong had no manners or decorum as he leaned against the transparent Box.
Inside the transparent box, a Ghost Slave wielding a spear repeatedly thrust it at Sun Chendong. However, the spear was a Weapon Soul; upon touching the Box, it melted and completely deformed. When the Ghost Slave withdrew its weapon, it returned to its original form!
Although there was no sound, Lian Yun and the others could hear the continuous rolling from the Spirit's furious glare.
Lian Yun and his companions found it quite amusing, but more than that, they were shocked!
Ghost Body signifies that where there are soldiers, there must be Warriors. And if Weapon Soul is a spear, then it can only be a renowned general or a Fierce Warrior.
Before me stands this Spirit, towering and straight like a peak, its Ghost Body subtly covered by battle armor, complete with a helmet and armor, wielding a long spear.
This imposing figure exudes an aura of might, truly embodying the essence of either a renowned general or a Fierce Warrior.
The situation in which human Armed Ghost Hunters can gain the favor of renowned generals and Fierce Warriors is somewhat akin to acquiring a Dog Spirit!
Although throughout the history of Huaxia, among its Countries Dynasties, there have been countless renowned generals, most of these Fierce Warriors choose to follow their former masters—Kings, Great Generals, and so forth. Very few recognize others as their masters.
Even those who do often harbor ulterior motives; without exceptional strength, they can easily fall victim to betrayal.
This is one reason why the human world remains precarious, simply because the Ancient Famous Generals are indeed valiant and powerful.
In today's world, when it comes to warriors, the most famous are not the many renowned generals from the Land of Huaxia, but rather those from the West!
Spartan Three Hundred Warriors!
Though nearly all three hundred warriors belong to the Demon King Realm, each possesses the strength to challenge a Demon Emperor.
United as one, their combined might is immense, capable of overwhelming humanity as if three Yokai kings were to descend upon them.
However, the Ancient Famous Generals have a significant drawback: despite their tremendous power in this world, their ability to advance is severely limited. Many renowned generals may take decades or even centuries without achieving a single level of advancement!
This could also be considered one reason why humanity has yet to face extinction!
In the land of Huaxia, many Historical Figures and Armed Ghost Hunters were expected to be well-versed in history. However, Lian Yun and others found it impossible to match the Warrior before them with any historical character.
This left Lian Yun and the others feeling quite perplexed. Their confusion deepened when they saw Liu Haitao looking guilty, as if he were a thief caught in the act.
"Unless Young Master Yun signs a contract with him, Liu will never reveal his identity!"
"Is Boss Liu trying to put me in an unjust position?" Lian Yun replied with a bitter smile.
Everyone present could deeply feel Liu Haitao's goodwill towards Lian Yun. They understood he meant well, but given his current demeanor, it was clear that this Fierce Warrior must possess a special identity that should not be disclosed to outsiders.
Once his identity was clarified, he should either return to his family or go back to his former master.
For instance, several Demons who held positions within the Alliance High Command.
