42: Chapter 42 The Haunting Incident

"Yes, Grandfather!" Jiang Churan nodded. "I will definitely make him come back!"

"He has truly rebelled against the heavens. At such a young age, he hasn't learned any etiquette or filial piety, but he has fully mastered rebellion and arrogance!"

"He has absolutely no upbringing!"

"As his elder sister, it is my duty to teach him what upbringing means!"

...

"Hmm!" Grandfather Jiang Wei nodded. "Then I will leave this matter to you!"

Jiang Ting sneered at this moment and said, "If he still refuses to return, then I will personally purge the family line!"

"Since he flows with the blood of our Jiang Family, if he cannot be used by me, he must be killed by me!"

Jiang Ting's confidence had now expanded to the extreme.

"Well said, haha..."

Jiang Haoyan patted Jiang Ting on the shoulder, feeling extremely gratified.

They were both sons, so why was the gap between them so large?

Magic Capital University.

After a month of adaptation, Jiang Ling was already very familiar with Magic Capital University.

School had not yet started, there were no classes, and Jiang Ling felt quite bored Cultivating in his practice room every day.

Therefore, Jiang Ling called Ye Honglian.

"Senior Sister!"

"Is something the matter?" Ye Honglian clearly sounded like she had just woken up.

"School hasn't started yet, and I'm feeling quite idle staying at school. I want to find a Secret Realm to hunt some exotic beasts and gain some practical experience!"

"I wonder if there are any suitable Secret Realms near Magic Capital University?" Jiang Ling asked.

"So you're just bored!" Ye Honglian yawned.

"School is starting soon, I'm afraid you won't make it back if you go to a Secret Realm!"

"However, a junior student's team is just about to go out to handle an abnormal incident, so you might as well go with them!"

"It will also broaden your horizons!"

"Oh? What is the matter?" Jiang Ling raised an eyebrow.

He knew that exotic beasts or foreign races often escaped from the Secret Realms to wreak havoc in the Human Race world.

Every region had patrol teams composed of Ability Users specifically to handle such exotic beasts or foreign races that entered the Human Race world.

In universities, students needed actual combat to gain experience, so major universities would issue tasks, letting students form patrol teams to handle these abnormal incidents, rewarding them with academic credits.

"It seems to be a haunting!" Ye Honglian said indifferently. "I don't know the specifics, you'll know when you go and see!"

"Consider it earning some pocket money in credits!"

"Fine!" Jiang Ling agreed.

He happened to want to see how those senior students handled tasks.

So, Ye Honglian gave Jiang Ling a contact number and told him to contact them himself.

Jiang Ling dialed the number, and a pleasant female voice answered.

"You are that freshman who passed the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Steps that Senior Sister Red Lotus introduced, right!"

"Usually we don't take freshmen, but your performance allows us to take you once to try it out!"

"Gather at the school gate at eight o'clock tomorrow morning!"

"Okay!" Jiang Ling agreed.

The next day, Jiang Ling got up early, finished washing up, ate breakfast, and arrived at the school gate.

Not long after, a few students who looked like seniors walked over.

The leader was a tall, hot-bodied girl wearing a black martial arts uniform, with delicate features and a ponytail, looking spirited and heroic.

"Are you Jiang Ling?"

The girl came in front of Jiang Ling, opened her lips slightly, and looked Jiang Ling up and down.

"Yes!" Jiang Ling nodded. "You are Senior Sister Zhao Jinyu introduced by Senior Sister Red Lotus, right!"

"It is me!" Zhao Jinyu nodded and said, "What is your Rank now?"

"I am Rank 14 now!" Jiang Ling said.

"Rank 14?" Zhao Jinyu was slightly surprised. "A freshman who just reported reaching Rank 14, not bad!"

"No wonder you were able to complete the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Steps!"

"Alright, it's getting late, let's go!"

Zhao Jinyu drove herself. Including Jiang Ling, there were five people in their team, just enough to fit.

Zhao Jinyu's car was a luxury sedan with an official price of over ten million, which showed that this Zhao Jinyu's family was very wealthy.

Except for Jiang Ling, the other three in the team were girls, all friends of Zhao Jinyu.

On the way, these three girls introduced themselves.

"My name is Qi Yuxuan, just reached Rank 20, my Supernatural Ability is the A-Rank Night Spirit Cat!"

"My name is Lai Zihan, Rank 21, my Supernatural Ability is the A-Rank Whirlwind Hammer!"

"My name is Lan Keer, Rank 21, my Supernatural Ability is the A-Rank Divine Bestowal Light!"

Jiang Ling immediately raised an eyebrow. Good heavens, everyone's Supernatural Ability was A-Rank; this Magic Capital University was indeed worthy of being one of the top universities in the country.

"You know my name, I am currently Rank 28, and my Supernatural Ability is the S-Rank Thousand Illusion Spirit Butterfly!" Zhao Jinyu said to Jiang Ling in the passenger seat while driving.

"S-Rank?" Jiang Ling gasped slightly. This Magic Capital University really had A-Ranks everywhere, and B-Ranks were as common as dirt! They were all casually A-Rank or S-Rank.

"My name is Jiang Ling, currently Rank 14, and my Supernatural Ability is... SSS-Rank World-Ending Divine Thunder!" Jiang Ling also introduced himself simply.

"Damn!" Zhao Jinyu made an emergency brake, eyes wide.

"SSS-Rank?"

"No wonder Dean Zhao Kailai treasures you so much!"

"Not only is your Comprehension Ability extremely high, but your Supernatural Ability has actually reached SSS-Rank!"

"Hiss!"

"With your talent, even at Magic Capital University, it is considered extremely rare!"

"It seems you shouldn't drag us down too much!"

The other three girls also widened their beautiful eyes, looking at Jiang Ling in surprise again.

Such high Comprehension Ability, and an SSS-Rank Supernatural Ability, truly a Prodigy!

The other freshmen of this batch were going to be miserable; they were probably going to live in Jiang Ling's shadow forever.

Continuing on the road, Zhao Jinyu said to Jiang Ling, "Let me introduce you to this mission first!"

"In a water town near Modu, haunting phenomena have appeared frequently recently. Many residents have committed suicide for no reason, and before they died, they all seemed to have suffered intense fright!"

"Some residents also reported hearing inexplicable singing, weird children's laughter, or seeing ghost shadows passing by at night!"

"So, we are going to investigate."

"Are there ghosts in this world?" Jiang Ling pondered for a moment and asked.

"That's unknown, ghosts are just a legend!" Zhao Jinyu shook her head. "We suspect it's caused by some exotic beast using illusions!"

"Similar things have happened before!"

"Because no major destruction or too many casualties have been found, the authorities have defined this matter as an E-Rank incident."

"But I don't think this matter is simple; it may exceed E-Rank, so we cannot take it lightly!"

"You must remember to listen to my arrangements, don't run around, don't touch anything!"

Jiang Ling nodded and said, "Understood!"
