Rules of the Strange: I Became a God in a Bizarre World Through Taoist Arts

In the sky, Shen Xingzhuo's figure appeared in the void.

Before she could lower her hand to block the white light, she heard a lot of noise around her.

"Good heavens! Look who I see! Isn't that Shen Xingzhuo from the Tianxia Kingdom?!"

A girl's voice rang in her ears with surprise.

The next second, her hands were firmly grasped by the other person's hands, and they were shaken up and down forcefully twice.

"Shen Xingzhuo! Hello, hello! I am Hua Jiuyue from Wuxiang Kingdom, but everyone in Wuxiang Kingdom usually calls me Jiuyuehua! It's nice to meet you!"

Hua Jiuyue's twin ponytails swayed with her movements, making her look exceptionally youthful and vibrant.

Shen Xingzhuo forcefully pulled her hand back and quietly wiped it on the back of her clothes.

Her expression was indifferent as she nodded to Hua Jiuyue, "Hello."

After saying that, he cautiously took a step back.

Hua Jiuyue didn't pay any attention and continued to explain the current situation on her own.

"I have no idea what the weirdo is up to, gathering all of us chosen ones together like this!"

"I saw your performance in 'The Legend of Guanyin'! It was so cool! To deal with those ill-intentioned people, you should just cut them down in one fell swoop!"

Hua Jiuyue's face was full of excitement.

Shen Xingzhuo remained aloof, but Hua Jiuyue was the kind of person who would chatter incessantly as long as she saw the other person respond.

From her words, Shen Xingzhuo quickly gleaned some useful information—

1: The bizarre gathering of chosen ones from different countries suggests they might be cast into the same supernatural tale. This completely exposes the tactic of "sowing discord."

2: These chosen ones likely already knew about her, perhaps even to the point of being familiar with her. She, on the other hand, only had fragmented knowledge of them.

3: Judging from their facial features, some of these chosen ones are burdened with the weight of more than one life, and are already shrouded in yin energy, giving them a deathly appearance.

4: The opponents are not of equal strength, but some of them are not human races she knows and have racial talents.

5: She was the last person to enter the ghost story, and a new ghost story is about to begin!

Shen Xingzhuo concealed the wariness in his eyes and looked at Hua Jiuyue with great interest.

She was clearly an incredibly cute little girl, but she was the one with the heaviest yin energy among these people.

When autumn comes on the ninth day of the ninth month, my flowers will bloom and all others will wither.

"Flowers bloom in September, September flowers—that's quite an interesting person."

Shen Xingzhuo moved her stiff fingers, which were hidden under the wide sleeves of her robe.

Hua Jiuyue was probably just testing the waters, which is why she didn't apply much poison to her hands.

Her hands are still a little stiff, but she will be back to normal in just one more minute.

"I wonder how we'll meet in the ghost stories," Shen Xingzhuo said calmly.

Hua Jiuyue smiled sweetly, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons, "I'm really looking forward to it~"

The two finished speaking.

[Chosen ones, prepare yourselves, a new tale of the strange is about to begin.]

Please pray! If you meet in the ghost stories, there's a chance your success rate will increase!

[Countdown begins: 5, 4, 1!]

Another blinding flash of light.

Shen Xingzhuo felt as if she were lying on the floor.

I rubbed my eyes, but when I opened them again, it was still pitch black.

"Am I really that unlucky? And I'm blind too?"

Before she could finish speaking, she heard a "snap" and the light was turned on.

Shen Xingzhuo's expression froze on her face.

Then she heard another "snap" sound, and her gaze immediately shifted to the right.

[Holy crap! What kind of idiot comes up and starts hitting people?!]

This environment looks like a school dormitory. Could this story be related to school bullying?

Before two comments could even float by, Shen Xingzhuo in the sky suddenly gave a cold laugh.

He swung his right hand in a wide arc and slapped the opponent back.

The girl who hit the other girl was spun around on the spot after being slapped.

When Shen Xingzhuo slapped back, his palm was radiating spiritual energy, so the girl's face immediately swelled up by 7 centimeters the moment the slap landed.

It looks like it has two heads.

"Holy crap!"

"You piece of trash who doesn't even have any superpowers, how dare you hit me?!"

The girl screamed as if she were going crazy, and when she looked up, she saw Shen Xingzhuo's face with a cold smile through her swollen eyes.

"Aa ...

"You just wait! I won't let you get away with this, you piece of trash!"

She screamed and ran away.

Shen Xingzhu rubbed his ears, which were still sore from the shock.

Isn't this a bit out of character (OOC)?

Hahaha, it feels so good!

Shen Xingzhuo smiled slightly: "That's true, but I've never been slapped before. If I don't fight back, my Dao heart will easily become unstable."

【Holy crap! Sister Shen can see us talking?!】

Shen Xingzhuo's energy is related to spiritual energy, so the super-dimensional communication device will start to work after using spiritual energy.

"Not always."

Shen Xingzhu gave a final reply before withdrawing the spiritual energy.

She walked around the dormitory, trying to find an item that would display the rules.

Soon, she spotted a board game box in a storage cabinet with the door half open.

"An invisible player?"

This is not a real-world game.

Just as Shen Xingzhuo was about to walk over, she heard footsteps outside the door.
