Realm of the Night God

Chapter 92: The Most Dashing Guy (2)

They indeed should be astonished!

They indeed deserved to be astonished!

Within Yang Haoran's soul gathering bead, there were a total of thirty-three soul threads. These soul threads varied in thickness. Apart from the ordinary undead-formed soul threads, there were also soul threads formed by extraordinary undead.

Three of the soul threads stood out particularly. Compared to the other soul threads, these three were much thicker, especially one among them, as thick as a cigarette, which was particularly conspicuous, giving the impression of standing out from the crowd.

The thickest soul thread was formed by the soul of the red robe evil spirit. It struggled and roared inside the soul gathering bead, revealing a fierce and terrifying appearance, with one milky-white eye clearly visible.

"A half-step evil spirit!"

Joy appeared on Deng Feng's face. The fact that Yang Haoran could collect so many souls in a month had already surprised him greatly. What surprised him even more was that among these souls, there was actually a big guy like a half-step evil spirit!

Apart from this big guy of a half-step evil spirit, two other undead also surprised him. Although they didn't reach the level of a half-step evil spirit, the soul threads formed by their souls far exceeded those of other soul threads. It was obvious that they had devoured many undead.

Even Divine Envoy Deng Feng was astonished, and naturally, the other Night Watch present were no exception, especially Xu Meijing, who had always been at odds with Yang Haoran. Her mouth slightly agape, her expression shocked, she seemed to find it hard to believe that everything she saw was real, so she rubbed her eyes.

However, the scene before her didn't change because of her rubbing. Everything she saw was indeed real.

"How is it possible? With his little strength, how could he possibly be a match for a half-step evil spirit? Even though our Yin spirit power inside has some restraint against ghostly beings, with his strength, at most, he could just barely survive against a half-step evil spirit. How could he possibly subdue it!"

Xu Meijing's doubts were shared by the other Night Watch present. They had all become Night Watch before Yang Haoran, both in terms of experience and strength. So they had some idea of the strength of a half-step evil spirit. They were very puzzled about how Yang Haoran managed to subdue this half-step evil spirit and collect it into the soul gathering bead.

"The strength of a half-step evil spirit is considerable, but it's far from something you can handle. How did you do it?"

Deng Feng was very pleased, and his attitude towards Yang Haoran took a big turn. His previously stern face now bore a smile.

"I did it together with two friends. I was even stabbed because of it, almost lost my life."

Yang Haoran's expression remained unchanged. He still wore his trademark smile, neither obsequious nor proud.

He said it very simply and casually, as if he was talking about a trivial matter. But even in such a seemingly simple and casual remark, there was a lot to it.

The emphasis of his words wasn't on who he subdued the red robe evil spirit with, but on the fact that he almost lost his life while subduing it.

Deng Feng didn't inquire further about who Yang Haoran subdued the red robe evil spirit with. He just nodded with a smile, and his perception of Yang Haoran changed somewhat.

"The resentment of an evil spirit is extremely heavy, and its harm far exceeds that of undead. Even a half-step evil spirit is like this. Such an existence cannot be left in the mortal world. Otherwise, who knows how many living people will die at its hands."

"The so-called Night Watch is the guardian of the night. So I hope you always remember, even if it means death, never forget your identity and your duty!"

Deng Feng suddenly uttered these words, which surprised Yang Haoran and also made him somewhat puzzled. But he didn't show these emotions on his face, just nodded in agreement, without saying another word.

"You did very well this time. Not arrogant, not rash. I'm starting to appreciate you a bit." Deng Feng chuckled.

As these words fell into Yang Haoran's ears, they naturally sounded as melodious as heavenly music, but when they reached Xu Meijing's ears, they seemed a bit harsh. Xu Meijing always felt that Deng Feng's words seemed to have a hidden meaning.

Next came the most tense and exciting part: Deng Feng, the boss himself, was going to personally distribute the salaries to his subordinates!

Deng Feng once again took out the wooden box he had taken out last time. Under his control, the box erupted with a large amount of pure Yin Qi, or what Yang Haoran and others called Soul Qi.

The Soul Qi was divided into streams, each with different thicknesses according to their respective performances. But the one belonging to Yang Haoran was the thickest and richest, several times more than Xu Meijing's!

Xu Meijing had performed very well last month, but the Soul Qi she received this time was not as much as Yang Haoran's. The reason was simple: the Soul Qi that could be exchanged for by a half-step evil spirit was quite terrifying, requiring a large number of ordinary undead to even compare. This point was clear to all the Night Watch except Yang Haoran.

Watching his own stream of Soul Qi, so massive, Yang Haoran didn't show any expression on his face, but the speed of his heartbeat involuntarily increased quite a bit.

The Soul Qi was like a black python rushing towards him. He didn't move his body, just licked his slightly dry lips, allowing the Soul Qi to flow into his body.

Because this stream of Soul Qi was too dense, for a short time, these Soul Qi couldn't all enter his body. The other Night Watch, including Xu Meijing, had already completed the infusion of Soul Qi into their bodies, while he was still enveloped in a large amount of Soul Qi.

The pitch-black Soul Qi enveloped Yang Haoran's body, infiltrating from every part of his body. Even so, the Soul Qi covering him couldn't fully merge into his body in a short time.

Deng Feng had left at some point, and the other Night Watch, including Xu Meijing, looked at Yang Haoran, who was receiving the infusion of Soul Qi. Without exception, envy was evident in their eyes.

At this moment, Yang Haoran undoubtedly became the most outstanding figure in the hall. He was the star employee of their unit for this month, the center of everyone's attention!

Xu Meijing was in a bad mood. With a cold snort, she stopped watching and left with a stern face, her hands in her pockets.

Staying here for a while longer would only make her feel more frustrated. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, her emotions would get out of control, and she might end up beating up Yang Haoran. So she chose to leave, out of sight, out of mind.

However, as Xu Meijing left, she secretly vowed to herself that no matter what, she would regain the face she lost today!

Next month, she would make sure to provoke this despicable guy just like he provoked her today!

Actually, Xu Meijing chose to leave at this moment out of another concern.

Although she hadn't deeply interacted with Yang Haoran, she had encountered him a few times and had some understanding of him. Once this despicable guy completed the infusion of Soul Qi, he was bound to make some sarcastic remarks and tease her. To avoid putting herself in such an embarrassing situation, she thought it was wise to leave early.

Xu Meijing's considerations were not without reason. If she didn't leave now, once Yang Haoran completed the infusion of Soul Qi, the situation she feared would indeed occur.

When Yang Haoran finished the infusion of Soul Qi, he noticed that all the other Night Watch, except Xu Meijing, hadn't left.

Not seeing Xu Meijing, Yang Haoran felt a bit regretful. Today would have been a perfect opportunity to taunt her, but he had missed it.

Just as he sighed inwardly, a wave of congratulations reached his ears, and the other Night Watch expressed their congratulations to him at this moment.

To this, Yang Haoran quickly responded with a smile. There was no hint of pride on his face; he only showed humility.

Yang Haoran wasn't sure why these Night Watch hadn't left, but facing their enthusiasm, he didn't dare to neglect them. After all, he was just a newcomer, and it was necessary to maintain good relations with these veterans.

"I didn't expect you to be so capable, Little Yang, actually being able to subdue even such a formidable guy as a half-step evil spirit. It really shocks and shames me as an old man!"

"Yeah, evil spirits are so powerful, completely different from undead. Even a half-step evil spirit, the best I could do would be to run away. It's really difficult to subdue one and put it into a soul gathering bead."

"Although a half-step evil spirit is not a true evil spirit, its illusion realm is still very troublesome. It's not easy to deal with. Haoran, you achieved this shortly after becoming a Night Watch. Your future is limitless!"

The Night Watch exchanged words one after another, and Yang Haoran didn't know who to respond to, so he just smiled and nodded in agreement.

Whether what the others said was right or wrong, nodding in agreement was a kind of affirmation to them. This way, even if it didn't improve their relationship, at least it wouldn't offend them.

Until the end, when all the Night Watch voluntarily wished to exchange contact information with Yang Haoran, he finally understood why they suddenly became so enthusiastic towards him.

It turned out that all these Night Watch hoped that in the future, if there were big deals and Yang Haoran couldn't handle them alone, he would contact them. After the success, they would share the profits.

And by "big deals," they meant the existence of half-step evil spirits and true evil spirits.

Yang Haoran didn't know how strong evil spirits were because he hadn't fought a real one yet, but he had witnessed how terrifying a half-step evil spirit could be. If he were to face a half-step evil spirit alone, he definitely wouldn't be a match.

However, just because he wasn't a match didn't mean that the other Night Watch from Lecheng weren't either. Compared to Yang Haoran, these Night Watch were all seasoned veterans. Despite their modesty, their strength surpassed Yang Haoran's. When it came to facing evil spirits, it was hard to say, but if they encountered a half-step evil spirit, they definitely had a chance of winning.

So, Yang Haoran didn't refuse their proposal and agreed gladly. It was a good thing to have their help when he couldn't handle things alone. Not only could he build better relationships with them, but he could also benefit himself. It was a win-win situation.

"They are actively reaching out to you, which is also a kind of affirmation of you. This time, you did really well. Even I, as your introducer, am basking in your glory." After all the other Night Watch had left, Master Jiang smiled and spoke to Yang Haoran.

Before Yang Haoran could respond, Master Jiang continued, but this time, he put away his smile and became serious.

"If you encounter a true evil spirit, you must be careful. The gap between a half-step evil spirit and a true evil spirit is like the gap between undead and a half-step evil spirit. They are very powerful!"
