Mysterious Resurgence: Starting with the Strange Bus

Chapter 15 Let's Have a Fight
"It seems that the vengeful ghost was intimidated by my invincible aura and retreated on its own. Since you're so sensible, I'll let you off this time. But if you dare to act recklessly in Dahai City again, I'll make sure you don't leave alive!"

As Ye Zhen said this, he looked confident, completely unaware that he had just exhausted all his methods but still failed to find that terrifying man.

On the other side, Li Hui, who was sharp-eared and sharp-eyed, couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard this, thinking to himself that Ye Zhongyi's reputation was indeed well-deserved.

"Since Ye Zhen can't deal with that vengeful ghost for the time being and can't find it, there's no need for him to stay here any longer."

The reason Li Hui hadn't left yet was simply because he wanted to see Ye Zhen's strength. Seeing that there was no more fun to be had, he turned around and prepared to leave.

But before Li Hui could take more than a few steps, a young man's voice came from behind him.

"Did that vengeful ghost come to Dahai City with you?"

The speaker was Ye Zhen.

Although it was a question, his tone revealed a strange certainty.

"No."

Upon hearing Ye Zhen's question, Li Hui denied it without hesitation. This was not a lie, but a statement of fact.

Although the terrifying man got off the bus almost immediately after him and entered the city of Dahai, this was the ghost's spontaneous behavior and had nothing to do with Li Hui.
"no?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen was taken aback.

While he was watching TV in the manor, he sensed through the scapegoat's supernatural abilities that two uninvited guests had arrived in Dahai City.

One of them was a vengeful ghost, and the other was a strange 'person'. Based on his preconceived notions, Ye Zhen naturally assumed that the vengeful ghost had been lured there by Li Hui. However, now that Li Hui seemed to be telling the truth, Ye Zhen was no longer so sure.

Yes, in Ye Zhen's eyes, Li Hui was an extremely strange person.

Through his senses, Ye Zhen was able to determine that Li Hui was not a ghost tamer and that there were no signs of supernatural corruption on his body, except for the wounds on Li Hui's body.

With Ye Zhen's insight, he could naturally see that the wounds were caused by supernatural forces, especially the ten bloody holes on Li Hui's shoulder, which had a terrifying supernatural curse remaining.

However, that's precisely what makes it so strange.

Logically speaking, someone who isn't a ghost tamer shouldn't be able to survive an attack by a vengeful ghost, especially one with lingering supernatural curses from that ghost.

But not only is Li Hui alive and well, the curse of the vengeful ghost on his shoulder has also been suppressed by another, even more powerful supernatural force, which greatly aroused Ye Zhen's curiosity.

He trusted his senses; there was absolutely no controlled vengeful spirit within Li Hui's body, yet he possessed a powerful supernatural force, making him extremely strange.

Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, as long as one can control supernatural power, one can be called a ghost tamer. But in Ye Zhen’s view, only when one controls a real vengeful ghost can one be called a ghost tamer!
Otherwise, it's like an ordinary person holding a supernatural weapon; although they can wield supernatural power, they definitely can't be considered a ghost tamer.

In Ye Zhen's eyes, Li Hui in front of him was like this kind of person, but not entirely; it was a paradox.

"Let's have a fight!"

suddenly.

Amid Li Hui's somewhat bewildered expression, Ye Zhen uttered these words.

As he spoke, Ye Zhen's face showed an excited expression, and his eyes shone with a strong fighting spirit. He had been invincible for a long time and longed for an opponent to appear.

to be frank.

Whether Li Hui was a true ghost tamer or not was not important to Ye Zhen; he only needed to know that the other party could control supernatural beings, and that was enough for him.

and……

The supernatural forces surrounding Li Hui are very powerful!
According to Ye Zhen's perception, the supernatural aura emanating from Li Hui was even stronger than that of Fang Shiming, whom Ye Zhen had defeated before, which made his warlike instincts boil over instantly.

The reason Ye Zhen initially asked Li Hui if the ghost had been lured to Dahai City was entirely to find a legitimate reason to take action.

Now that Li Hui has denied it, Ye Zhen is determined to fight him fair and square!
Why should I fight you?

the other side.

Seeing Ye Zhen's burning passion and eagerness to immediately challenge him and determine who was better, Li Hui remained unmoved and said expressionlessly.

joke.

Looking at the big picture, where else could you find a second person besides Ye Zhen who would challenge a powerful ghost tamer to a duel simply because of his belligerence, without any reason?

Li Hui had no desire to do something so thankless and exhausting.

Even if he wanted to confirm his current combat strength, he wouldn't choose to fight Ye Zhen here, especially since he wasn't in his best condition yet.

"Are you afraid?"

Ye Zhen frowned and said to himself, "But that's understandable. After all, who doesn't know my title, Ye Wudi? It's perfectly normal for you to be afraid of me. Just admit it openly, there's nothing shameful about it!"

"Or are you afraid of accidentally dying at my hands?"

Ye Zhen glanced at Li Hui's wounds, as if he had thought of something, and continued:
"Don't worry, I, Ye, know my limits. It's just a friendly spar, there's no danger to your life. And regardless of the outcome, I'll give you a generous reward afterwards, how about it?"

Li Hui felt too special to Ye Zhen. He had never seen such a case in the entire paranormal community. He was an anomaly among anomalies. Ye Zhen really wanted to test his true strength.

"Just a normal sparring match?"

Li Hui's eyes flickered.

Seeing the expression on Ye Zhen's face that said, "I've already given you enough face, don't be ungrateful," Li Hui's mind stirred, and an idea he had never thought of before surfaced.

"Perhaps I can use the power of the paranormal forum to understand the current timeline's progress? And some hidden information about paranormal events?"

The world is vast, and the supernatural events and vengeful spirits that have occurred are far more numerous than those depicted in the original story. After all, the original story unfolds from Yang Jian's perspective, and what it describes is only the tip of the iceberg.

As the leading ghost-controlling force in China, the paranormal forum is far more capable of gathering information than Li Hui alone.

As for the Ghost Rider headquarters...

Li Hui felt that in the early stages, it was far more worthwhile to be in a cooperative relationship with the other party than to join directly, since joining at this stage would simply mean becoming a free laborer.

It wasn't until the mid-term, when the Captain's Plan began to be implemented, that the Ghost Tamers at headquarters gained significantly more influence.

Li Hui felt that even if he wanted to join the headquarters, he should wait until the Captain's Plan was implemented before making any decisions.

"Looking at it this way, this fight might actually be worth fighting."

Thinking of this, Li Hui said to Ye Zhen, "Sparring is fine, but no matter what the final result is, you have to promise me one thing afterward."

Then, before Ye Zhen could respond, Li Hui continued, "Don't worry, I can guarantee that you can easily fulfill any request I make, and I will absolutely not make any requests that are beyond your capabilities."

Li Hui agreed to this 'sparring' not only because he wanted to leverage the influence of the paranormal forum and quickly determine his position of power in the current world, but also for a more important reason.

That's Ye Zhen himself!
Li Hui realized that the other party had their eye on him. Even if he refused, he might still be entangled with them afterward, just like Wang Chaling in the original story, who might even forcefully attack him and force him to fight.

Rather than waiting until then, Li Hui might as well take advantage of the current opportunity while Ye Zhen is 'reasoning with him' to maximize the benefits he can gain!
