Everyone's Suppressing Ghosts: Others Contract Divine Weapons, I Contract Blank Paper

[The third item: Group Elimination Training, is about to begin.]

The moment the notification popped up on the electronic screen, an explosion occurred outside the simulated haunted building.

[Target group for this deployment: Low-risk migratory snakes.]

Initial quantity: 100.

[Time limit: 90 seconds.]

[Evaluation criteria: Quantity cleared, total time taken, contamination leakage, and consumption of stabilizing materials.]

[Current college freshman record: 86.]

[Record holder: Gu Changming, top of last year's training list.]

[Scores will be included in the group elimination ranking and the overall ranking.]

One hundred.

Ninety seconds.

Historically, there were 86 of them.

As soon as these numbers were announced, all the students perked up.

"The mass purge has begun."

"One hundred low-risk ravenous creatures, and there were only thirty just now, brother."

"That was a single-person elimination room, this is a group field, the wandering spirits will attract each other."

"Zhou Chenglei's sword is powerful against single targets, but it relies on sustained damage to clear groups."

"Xu Dugang's thirty 3.9 seconds, he's not breaking the record, I'm speechless."

"Don't rush to eat the screen. One hundred and thirty are two different things. No matter how fast the paper is processed, it depends on whether the life lamp can withstand it."

The forum was also flooded with posts about it.

[Third group cleanup activated! 86 historical records found!]

Is it still possible to continue playing Xudu?

Does Zhou Chenglei's peach wood sword have area-of-effect attacks?

[Can a white paper lantern withstand one hundred wandering demons?]

Xu Du stood on the sidelines.

He glanced down at the cardboard box.

The basic cleanup item just used thirty sheets.

There are 450 cards left.

The white paper lantern, meant to guide the soul, hung quietly beside his hand.

The lights are not on.

But the blank talismans in the box seemed to be waiting to be lit.

Lin Qingzhu stood in front of the main screen and announced the rules.

"The third item is group elimination training."

"Each student enters the mass clearance area."

"One hundred low-risk swarms of fleas will be released at once."

"Ninety seconds limit."

"Prioritize the number of items to be cleared".

"If the quantities are the same, sort them by total time used, pollution leakage, and consumption of stabilizing materials."

"start."

The first batch of students entered quickly.

The mass elimination area is much larger than the previous elimination chamber.

It was surrounded by three layers of protective array.

In the center of the venue, one hundred low-risk water-killing bottles are neatly arranged.

Less than twenty seconds after the first student entered, chaos broke out inside.

One hundred wandering demons were released simultaneously, and the gray mist surged into a tide.

His protective charm is a soul-suppressing bell.

The ringing of the bell did indeed freeze some of the wandering evil spirits.

However, there were too many of them, and the gray tide behind them kept crashing in, and soon more than a dozen of them rushed out of the bell's range.

The final results were updated.

Quantity cleared: 41/100.

Total time: 90 seconds.

[Pollution leakage: 22%]

[Rating: Pass.]

The second place was even worse.

Quantity cleared: 33/100.

Third place is slightly better.

Quantity cleared: 57/100.

It wasn't until Gu Hanzhou came on that the stats finally started to look good.

Gu Hanzhou's Soul-Suppressing Bell is indeed reliable.

As soon as the bell rang, a whole group of wandering demons were frozen in mid-air.

He didn't force speed, but instead controlled the field and cleared it lap by lap.

Ninety seconds have passed.

Screen refresh.

Gu Hanzhou.

Quantity cleared: 78/100.

Total time: 90 seconds.

[Pollution leakage: 9.4%]

[Item Consumption: Medium.]

[Currently ranked #1 on the group elimination leaderboard: Gu Hanzhou.]

A round of applause broke out from the crowd.

"Seventy-eight, that's fine."

"The Soul-Suppressing Bell technique is a reliable method."

"Eight short of breaking the record, what a pity."

"The historical record is 86, there's a reason it's been hanging for so long."

Qin Zhaoxue then took the stage.

The Buddha's Light Protective Mirror offers strong defense and effectively controls pollution leakage, but it is slow to clean.

Final results:

Qin Zhaoxue.

Quantity cleared: 72/100.

[Pollution leakage: 3.1%]

[Currently ranked second on the group cleanup list.]

The murmurs among the audience grew louder and louder.

"It's really difficult."

"Low-risk swimming scorpions are just weak, releasing a hundred of them at once is a completely different matter."

"The record of 86 is not something that fell from the sky."

"Zhou Cheng has been appointed."

When Zhou Cheng's name was displayed, the volume at the scene noticeably decreased.

[Trainee: Zhou Cheng]

[Item for warding off evil spirits: A peach wood sword with a thunder pattern.]

[Currently ranked first in the group elimination list: Gu Hanzhou, 78.]

Zhou Cheng walked into the mass cleanup area.

He gripped the peach wood sword with its thunder pattern.

The purple-black lightning patterns on the sword's blade lit up one by one.

Outside the arena, several classmates clenched their fists.

"Brother Cheng, be steady!"

"The Thunder Sword is the domain of the Clearing Element!"

"superior!"

Zhou Cheng did not turn around.

He stared intently at the hundred wandering spirit bottles in the arena, his expression more serious than ever before.

He lost terribly in the basic clear rankings just now.

42.8 seconds versus 3.9 seconds.

That wasn't just a gap, it was a humiliation.

He must get this back.

Even if you only get one item.

Even if it's just to suppress Xu Du once.

Staff confirmed:

"Zhou Cheng, shall we begin?"

Zhou Cheng drew his sword.

"start."

One hundred wandering evil spirit bottles were opened simultaneously.

A gray mist surged forth like a tide.

Zhou Cheng did not back down.

He gripped the thunder-patterned peach wood sword with both hands, and the Yang fire of his life lamp suddenly blazed brightly.

The lightning patterns on the sword instantly exploded.

Purple arcs of lightning spread out from the sword, like a net woven from lightning, pressing directly towards the foremost group of wandering demons.

scoff!

The first batch of more than a dozen wandering demons were torn to shreds by the lightning net on the spot.

The electronic screen was flashing rapidly.

[Zhou Cheng: Count cleared +1.]

[Zhou Cheng: Count cleared +1.]

[Zhou Cheng: Count cleared +1.]

The crowd erupted in cheers.

"Area of ​​effect attack!"

"The Thunder Sword can attack multiple targets simultaneously?!"

"Brother Cheng has been holding back!"

The veins on Zhou Cheng's forehead bulged slightly.

Lightning nets are extremely dangerous.

He has been practicing for the past three days, all for this moment.

The second lightning strike landed.

The third way.

The fourth one.

The horde of demons was torn apart piece by piece.

The numbers on the screen kept rising.

Quantity cleared: 31.

Quantity cleared: 47.

Quantity cleared: 62.

Quantity cleared: 79.

The noise from the audience grew louder and louder.

"Almost there!"

"Seven short! Seven!"

"Break! Break it!"

Zhou Cheng gritted his teeth.

The lightning on the peach wood sword with its lightning pattern is no longer as intense as it was at the beginning.

But he still forcibly activated the last wave of lightning.

boom!

The lightning arc exploded.

More than a dozen more wandering evil spirits were eliminated.

Ninety seconds have passed.

A notification sounded from the test array.

Screen refresh.

Zhou Cheng.

Quantity cleared: 91/100.

Total time: 90 seconds.

[Pollution leakage: 8.7%]

[Item Consumption: High.]

Rating: Excellent.

[Refresh the history of clearing information from the new student group.]

[Currently ranked first on the group elimination list: Zhou Cheng.]

The entire venue erupted instantly.

"It's broken!"

"Ninety-one!"

"This has broken history!"

"An A-grade lightning sword is still an A-grade lightning sword!"

"We've retrieved that item!"

When Zhou Cheng walked out of the arena, his face was pale and his forehead was covered in sweat.

The light on the peach wood sword with its thunder pattern had dimmed considerably.

But he heard the cheers from the entire stadium.

He saw the name on the electronic screen.

[Currently ranked first on the group elimination list: Zhou Cheng.]

[History updated.]

He finally smiled.

Although this is very costly.

But he broke the record.

Ninety-one.

The highest number in the previous competition was 86.

This is an impressive achievement.

The forum was instantly flooded with posts.

[Zhou Cheng breaks record! 91 birds!]

[The area-of-effect attack capabilities of the Thunder-patterned Peach Wood Sword have been revealed!]

[A-grade talisman is still an A-grade talisman!]

[Xu Du is under pressure; this time it's not thirty, it's one hundred!]

Zhou Cheng walked up to Xu Du.

His breathing hadn't completely calmed down, but he still managed to speak:

"Xu Du".

"This record is mine."

All the students around him were focused on Xu Du.

This time, Zhou Cheng wasn't just being stubborn.

He truly broke historical records.

Ninety-one.

He altered the entire record of the deletion of new students from the Jiangcheng Town Ghost Academy.

Xu Du glanced at the electronic screen.

Then I picked up the cardboard box.

"Um."

Zhou Cheng's face stiffened.

He was most annoyed by Xu Du's reaction.

Xu Du did not contend, was not angry, and was not impatient.

Just like the record he just broke, it's just a line of numbers that will be changed soon.

Lin Qingzhu looked at the list.

"Next, Xu Du."

The scene fell silent once again.

Xu Du, carrying a cardboard box, walked into the mass cleanup area.

The residual lightning energy in the area had not completely dissipated.

There was a faint smell of burning in the air.

Staff re-inspected the protective array and replenished it with one hundred low-risk evacuation devices.

After confirming that everything was correct, a sound was heard.

"Xu Du, shall we begin?"

Xu Du placed the cardboard box on the ground.

turn on.

There are still 450 blank talisman papers left inside.

He drew out one hundred cards.

A whole stack.

Some people outside the stadium instinctively held their breath.

"One hundred...?"

"One sheet at a time, bro."

"Can the life lamp withstand it?"

"Thirty 'low-cost' cards just now, now that's more than three times that."

Zhou Cheng stared intently at the screen.

His fingers gripped the hilt of the peach wood sword with its thunder pattern.

Ninety-one.

He didn't believe Xu Du could break it so easily.

Staff confirmed again:

"Shall we begin?"

Xu Du picked up the white paper soul-guiding lamp.

"start."

One hundred wandering evil spirit bottles are opened simultaneously.

A gray mist gushed out.

One hundred low-risk migratory birds converged into an even larger gray tide.

It was more complete and denser than the wave Zhou Cheng had just faced.

Almost the instant they appeared, they pressed down on Xu Du.

Xu Du stood still.

The white paper-drawn lantern lights up.

The stark white light shone on a hundred blank talisman papers.

The pages flew up at the same time.

One.

Ten.

Thirty sheets.

Fifty sheets.

One hundred sheets of white paper were hung in front of Xu Du.

He picked up the stylus pen.

Only one character was written.

Extinction.

The moment the word was written, the same words appeared simultaneously on one hundred sheets of white paper.

The light from the white paper lamp suddenly intensified.

One hundred paper orders flew out at the same time.

There was no thunder.

There was no sword light.

Only a sky full of white paper crashed directly into the gray, wandering tide.

The first row of paper orders to be pasted on the evil spirits.

Bang bang bang bang!

More than a dozen wandering demons scattered at the same time.

The second row of paper was pressed down immediately afterward.

Third row.

Fourth row.

The paper orders weren't sent out one by one.

They were flying in large numbers.

Like a white wall, it was pushed directly across the entire cleanup site.

Wherever the wandering demons rushed, the imperial edict was pressed down.

Each sheet of white paper is precisely pasted with a wandering demon.

With each "Extinction" character that lights up, a wandering evil spirit dissipates into ashes.

The numbers on the screen started jumping wildly.

[Xu Du: Count cleared +10.]

[Xu Du: Count cleared +10.]

[Xu Du: Count cleared +10.]

[Xu Du: Count cleared +10.]

Everyone watching from the sidelines was stunned.

The number of items Zhou Cheng cleared just now increased in waves.

Here in Xudu, things are disappearing piece by piece.

Quantity cleared: 30.

Quantity cleared: 50.

Quantity cleared: 70.

Quantity cleared: 90.

Zhou Cheng's pupils suddenly contracted.

ninety.

He is approaching ninety-one.

next second.

Quantity cleared: 100.

Inside the arena, the last of the wandering monsters was covered by a piece of white paper.

boom.

The ashes dissipated.

One hundred sheets of white paper, their characters burned to ash, slowly fell to the ground.

The entire group was wiped out; not a single wandering demon remained.

The test array hadn't even finished its 90-second countdown.

The screen is frozen.

one second.

two seconds.

Then, the data exploded.

[Xu Du.]

Quantity cleared: 100/100.

Total time: 12.8 seconds.

Average time per monomer: 0.128 seconds.

[Pollution leakage: 0.6%]

[Item Consumption: Medium.]

[One-time consumption: 100 blank talisman sheets.]

Rating: Excellent.

[Refresh the history of clearing information from the new student group.]

[Currently ranked #1 on the group elimination list: Xu Du.]

Outside the simulated eerie building, there was a deathly silence.

91.

100.

90 seconds.

12.8 seconds.

Zhou Cheng just broke the historical record.

Xu Du shattered the new record.

It wasn't that one was cleaned up too much.

It wasn't just a few seconds faster.

It's one hundred completely wiped out.

12:08.

Someone stared at the screen, their voice hoarse:

"Clear all one hundred?"

"Twelve seconds?"

"...How do we fix this?"

"Zhou Chenggang was brought up with a life-saving lamp."

"It's only been less than five minutes, bro."

The forum completely exploded.

[Group Elimination Ranking Updated! Xu Du 100/100!]

[Zhou Cheng just broke the historical record with 91 kills, but Xu Du wiped them all out!]

[At 12:08, all 100 low-risk swarms of feral monsters were wiped out!]

What exactly is the White Paper Lamp monster?

[The Grade A lightning-patterned peach wood sword had just raised its head when it was pressed down again by the white paper!]

[Xu Du is ranked #1 on the Cleanup Ranking, #1 on the Group Cleanup Ranking, and #1 on the Stability Ranking!]

Zhou Cheng stood on the sidelines, his face completely pale.

He just hit 91 shots with all his might.

Xu Du cleared out all 100 in just 12.8 seconds.

He couldn't even bring himself to say "just a little bit more".

Because the gap is too large.

It's so big that there's no excuse.

Xu Du walked out of the mass purging site.

The light from the white paper soul-guiding lamp has already dimmed.

One hundred sheets are missing from the cardboard box.

There are 350 cards left.

He walked up to Zhou Cheng.

This time, Zhou Cheng didn't even have time to speak.

Xu Du first said:

"Record."

"It's mine now too."

Zhou Cheng's lips moved slightly, but he didn't utter a single word.

The list was updated on the electronic screen.

[Group Elimination Ranking:]

[First Place: Xu Du. Number of Cleared Items: 100/100. Total Time: 12.8 seconds.]

[Second Place: Zhou Cheng. Number of Cleared Items: 91/100. Total Time: 90 seconds.]

[Third Place: Gu Hanzhou. Number of Cleared Items: 78/100. Total Time: 90 seconds.]

Everyone present was looking at that list.

A box of white paper.

It suppressed the A-grade thunder-patterned peach wood sword.

It also suppressed the college's historical records.

Just then, Lin Qingzhu suddenly turned to the staff of the practical training department and said:

"Record."

The staff member nodded immediately.

"Already recorded."

Lin Qingzhu continued:

"The current combat method of the White Paper Soul-Guiding Lamp uses blank talisman paper as the main consumable."

"From now on, blank talisman paper will be temporarily listed as the standard consumable for the training of blank paper soul-guiding lamps."

"Before the start of the comprehensive haunted realm, the training department issued Xu Du blank talisman paper."

The room fell silent once again upon hearing this.

Replacement?

Xu Du also looked up at Lin Qingzhu.

Lin Qingzhu looked at him, her tone calm:

"You just used a hundred cards."

"The next item is the Comprehensive Ghostly Realm."

"You can't pay for the practical training courses yourself."

Soon, two staff members pushed a new cardboard box over.

The box was opened.

It was full of blank talisman paper.

A full thousand.

A new training record then popped up on the electronic screen.

[Temporary Supplies for Practical Training Department: 1000 blank talisman sheets.]

[Supply recipient: Xu Du.]

[Reason for replenishment: Standard consumable for the White Paper Soul-Guiding Lamp.]

The entire area outside the simulated haunted building was completely blown up.

"Official paper replacement?"

"Is blank paper being listed as consumable material?"

"Doesn't this just acknowledge this path?"

"Others borrow talismans to suppress evil spirits, while Xu Du uses talismans to repair his own chest?"

"He just cleared 100 sheets of paper, now he's offering another 1000. What's his next move?"

The forum title went viral.

[The Practical Training Department has reissued 1,000 blank talisman sheets to Xu Du!]

[The White Paper Soul-Guiding Lamp consumable system has been officially recognized!]

While others carry powerful weapons, Xu Du carries ammo boxes!

[How can we even fight in this complex, bizarre environment? Is he going to build a tower?]

Xu Du looked at the box of new blank talisman paper.

He then looked at the remaining 350 sheets of paper in his cardboard box.

In total, there are 1,350.

Zhou Cheng saw it too.

His face looked even worse than before.

Others' practical training involves the consumption of protective materials.

Xu Du's practical training was an official paper-making exercise.

How can we even compare them?

Just then, the fourth description was updated.

[Fourth item: Comprehensive handling of the eerie environment.]

[Simulation Area: Abandoned old hospital building.]

[Objective: To eliminate negative energy within the building, protect the simulated injured, and suppress the spread of contamination.]

[Real-time comprehensive rankings are now available.]

[Training countdown: 10 minutes.]

Everyone looked at Xu Du.

Xu Du closed the new cardboard box.

Then they picked up the white paper soul-guiding lamp again.

"Overall Ranking".

His voice was not loud.

"Take it too."
