"Minister Long, could you hold on for a moment... I seem to have some urgent matters..."
Wu Liang felt his heartbeat quickening and breathing becoming more rapid, involuntarily glancing at the oil paper umbrella above his head.
The effect of the Shelter was consistently active.
Logically, I shouldn’t be affected by the negative effects within the Fierce Dragon Ghost’s blood, right?
So what’s happening now?
As he was deep in thought, Minister Long casually waved, directly teleporting him to the ground; Wu Liang, covered in blood, appeared out of thin air beside Sun Zhoushan.
Minister Long reminded our Captain Sun over the communicator: "Don’t touch the blood on him, maintain sniper status."
Although the blood on the Fierce Dragon Ghost has unknown negative effects, eliminating them is an urgent matter now. The powerful sniper damage from Sun Zhoushan is impossible to abandon.
Hearing Minister Long’s words, Sun Zhoushan glanced at Wu Liang by his side and then aimed the sniper rifle at the sky again.
The battle above was still ongoing.
"Phew, seems like there’s no sign of dying, huh?"
Leaning against the tree trunk, feeling his body temperature rising, Wu Liang was even more puzzled. After all, the information from the Ghost Compendium would mean instant death upon touch.
Now, without a sense of impending death but strange changes occurring, he was truly at a loss.
In the next moment, the Ghost Compendium began to inexplicably display a series of strange characters that Wu Liang had never seen:
[Attempting to alter truth—denial]
[Transformation object and truth share the same origin]
"Huh? What the hell is this?" Wu Liang exclaimed in shock.
Today, not only did he see the Ghost Compendium producing question marks, but he also saw it displaying words other than supernatural information for the first time.
Whoa! It’s fusing with something?!
As the Ghost Compendium became increasingly hot in his mind, Wu Liang felt his body temperature rising, just like when a CPU overheats from intense operation.
When Sun Zhoushan fired to support Minister Long, he caught a glimpse of Wu Liang’s forehead, which was already radiating heat.
"Damn it, is this kid really going to die?"
This scene rendered Sun Zhoushan frantic, yet he couldn’t touch Wu Liang, fearing that contact with Dragon Blood might also lead to his own demise.
In the next second, the most bizarre scene appeared—Dragon Blood was diminishing!
The Dragon Blood that originally drenched Wu Liang from head to toe had evaporated by more than half, revealing his once blood-soaked face, leaving Sun Zhoushan to question whether he was seeing things.
But the remaining Dragon Blood continued to vanish, which Sun Zhoushan finally understood.
"Wait a moment? This isn’t disappearing into thin air... it’s being absorbed!"
The Dragon Blood on Wu Liang’s skin sank naturally into his body, like water on a sponge.
Within seconds, apart from a few bloodstains on his clothing, no red marks could be seen.
Originally, Wu Liang’s rapid breathing gradually stabilized, and the high temperature on his forehead began to dissipate.
[I am ghost: Can fuse with any subordinate Fierce Ghost for ten minutes, gaining a true Fierce Ghost body and stacking abilities, but can only fuse three times within 24 hours]
"Cough, cough! Damn, what made me choke, how fishy!" Wu Liang suddenly stood up from his previous half-dead state.
After coughing twice, he spat out a mouthful of Fierce Dragon Ghost blood, feeling waves of nausea.
After the Ghost Compendium flashed those inexplicable characters, it unexpectedly upgraded to acquire new functions, leaving Wu Liang elated.
Sun Zhoushan next to him watched him suddenly become spirited, uncertainly asking, "You’re really okay? Not a last burst of energy?"
How can someone be nearly dead one second and full of life the next!?
"Not only am I fine, but I also intend to cause trouble for that thing above!" Wu Liang grinned, taking out the Nightmare Mask and gently placing it on his face.
Sun Zhoushan hadn’t yet reacted to why Wu Liang placed the supernatural object on his face when he sensed a slight change in Wu Liang’s renewed vitality.
A fear that spread from the heart permeated, as if the one standing in front of him was no longer a companion but an extremely dangerous Fierce Ghost!
After merging with Nightmare, Wu Liang instantly vanished from his original spot, appearing before Ghost Valley and Wu Xiaoyao.
At this moment, he understood what the "ability stacking" from the Ghost Compendium truly meant! The most update n0vels are published on novel✶fire.net
Under normal circumstances, Wu Liang would naturally be less proficient in using Fierce Ghost abilities than the actual Fierce Ghost. If Nightmare were to fully exert its abilities, it could reach City-Destroying level, while Wu Liang might just be stronger than a typical Red-clothed Fierce Ghost.
After fusion, not only could he spiritualize like Nightmare, but he was also able to perfectly utilize the Fierce Ghost’s abilities.
"Fierce Ghost transformation... Hahaha! Son, you indeed didn’t let me down! You completed Fierce Ghost transformation in just one minute! Unheard of!" Wu Xiaoyao, sensing the familiar Fierce Ghost aura from Wu Liang, couldn’t help but laugh heartily.
Upon hearing this, Minister Long showed a hint of disbelief, saying, "Wu Liang, you..."
"Minister Long, attack that bug with all your strength; I assure you it won’t retaliate!"
Wu Liang had no time to explain his current situation, as the fusion period was only ten minutes!
As soon as the words were out, he instantly vanished from the spot, or rather—his physical form disappeared!
He fully transformed into a spiritual body and charged into the Fierce Dragon Ghost’s brain, now resembling a City-Destroying level Nightmare!
This move not only stunned Minister Long but also rendered Ghost Valley and Wu Xiaoyao dumbfounded.
Both had researched human Fierce Ghost transformation for years, and never had they seen any transformed person immediately restore normal consciousness.
Though they possessed methods to help artificial Fierce Ghosts regain rational thinking, such processes took months of gradual repair!
Now, Wu Liang not only completed Fierce Ghost transformation instantaneously but also showed no signs of affected rationality, overturning all their research!
"How is this possible! Brother! We must acquire him! He’ll be the best research subject!" Ghost Valley exclaimed in shock.
However, as soon as the words were out, the Fierce Dragon Ghost beneath them suddenly halted its progress.
The two on the dragon’s head nearly fell over, turning their gaze to see the entire dragon’s eyes losing any emotional fluctuation, appearing dazed, even forgetting to fly, and began plummeting toward the ground swiftly!
Seeing this, Minister Long’s eyes lit up!
Wu Liang wasn’t joking!
The consciousness of this Fierce Dragon Ghost had been completely trapped! It could no longer respond to Ghost Valley’s commands!
Now it was like a punching bag that wouldn’t hit back! The perfect time to eliminate it!
