Weird Game: My Talent is a Bit Strong

Inside the Ascension Temple on the thirteenth floor, gusts of eerie wind rose.

Accompanied by unwilling roars, one after another, soul-reaping ghosts with shattered bodies surged towards Fan Chen.

These soul-snatching ghosts can all launch a soul-snatching nightmare attack on Fan Chen.

They also each possess different malevolent attributes and abilities.

Among them, the mutilated and bloodied Soul-Hooking Ghost can unleash attacks similar to blade light.

Burning with flames, this soul-snatching ghost, resembling a piece of charcoal, can unleash fiery attacks.

The ghost, its entire body frozen, resembling a walking ice sculpture, can release an icy aura.

Blazing swords, raging flames, and freezing ice all belong to the category of malevolent forces.

This is also the reason why the soul-reaping ghost dies during the ascension ceremony.

They died because of these disasters, and after becoming vengeful spirits, they gained corresponding strange abilities.

"During the ascension ceremony, they will suffer these three tribulations respectively. If certain conditions are met, they can successfully ascend to immortality."

"Otherwise, they will die from these three calamities."

"What does this actually mean?"

These questions flashed through Fan Chen's mind, and the Ghost Eye Tiger-Slaying Blade in his hand emitted a rising blood-red aura.

Swish! Blades flashed past him one after another.

[Reminder: You have killed a Soul Reaper (Level 17, Undead)]

[Psionic Power +120]

[Reminder: You have killed a Soul Reaper (Level 18, Undead)]

[Psionic Power +200]

……

A series of notification messages flashed before Fan Chen's eyes.

These ghostly apparitions can hardly have any effect on him anymore; they're just walking experience packs.

It kept killing the soul-snatching ghosts, but seeing the kill experience made Fan Chen frown slightly.

How come you only have so little experience?

He's level 21 now, so it's normal that he doesn't get much experience from killing low-level ghosts.

But it shouldn't only be one or two hundred points. He had just as much experience as those remnant souls and ghosts he had killed.

This is not normal!

Soon, Fan Chen discovered the reason: the soul-snatching ghosts it killed would reappear in the gloomy hall a few seconds later.

This illusory thirteenth floor is a dream world formed from the resentment and unwillingness of those who failed to ascend to immortality.

In this illusion, their existence is also unique, so killing them only yields a small amount of experience.

They can keep regenerating!

"The ability to revive immediately after being killed suggests that karma is the only viable option."

After forcing back several ghostly figures with a single slash, Fan Chen made a judgment and took out the clay figurine of Granny Mud.

Karma can not only amplify Fan Chen's destructive power, but also sever the obsessions of ghosts.

Using karma to slay the soul-reaping demons can directly eliminate their inner resentment, causing them to completely dissipate.

Not only can these illusory realms, formed from condensed resentment, not be revived, but even if the instance is reset, they will not reappear.

But just as Fan Chen took out the clay figurine of the Mud Granny and was about to turn on the charging station...

The ghost that was the boss of Shengxian Group, in disguise, suddenly let out a sharp, long howl.

It is the leader of this group of soul-snatchers.

As it howled, the other ghosts suddenly abandoned their attack on Fan Chen and rushed towards it.

They pounced on the boss ghost one after another, and then merged into its body.

The ghost that was Boss Shengxian transformed into realized Fan Chen's power and preemptively unleashed its full power.

It absorbed other soul-snatching ghosts and merged them into itself, transforming into a bizarre monster.

Its main body is a huge ball of flesh, covered with shattered masks.

It also split open a terrifyingly huge mouth full of fangs.

Arms stretched out from the fleshy ball, extending outwards like tentacles.

[Review]

[Warning: This is a Soul-Hooking Ghost King (Level 21, a fierce ghost)!]

It embodies the resentment and unwillingness of the soul-reaping ghost.

"Holy crap, is it even possible to fuse them?"

Fan Chen was somewhat surprised. These kinds of ghosts, whose obsession was resentment, seemed to have the characteristic of fusion.

The most obvious example is the minor disaster in Fan Chen's family, which is a subway calamity formed by the resentment of the victims of the subway accident.

"Death! Everyone who comes here will die!"

Join us and become a part of us!

"Ascension to immortality! One day we will succeed in ascending to immortality!"

Each of the shattered masks on the Ghost King's body emitted a different cry.

Its arms wriggled, and it pounced towards Fan Chen.

At the same time, the eerie mask on Fan Chen's face suddenly came back to life and began to exert a strange influence on him.

[Warning: You have been attacked by the Soul-Snatching Mask!]

Spirit +44

Endurance +51

Health +43

Psychic +67

...]

Fan Chen always wore this mask on his face and never took it off. Now, the Soul-Hooking Ghost King used it to launch an attack on Fan Chen.

These attacks include both nightmare-type attacks and malevolent attacks with traits such as shattering, freezing, and raging flames.

These attacks are continuously transformed into positive buffs by the Soul Eaters.

Fan Chen: So thoughtful, proactively charging my phone?

It seems that the clay figurines of Granny Mud will not be used for the time being.

Karma, open!

The Soul-Hooking Ghost King had arrived in front of Fan Chen, with arms and tentacles reaching out to grab him and surrounding him.

Bear! A dark blue karmic fire ignited on Fan Chen's body, scorching the arms wrapped around him.

The masks on the Soul-Hooking Ghost King's body all let out screams.

Swish! Swish! A flash of light, burning with ghostly blue flames, severed those arms.

The dark blue flames then spread along the arm towards the fleshy ball itself.

Crack, crack, several of the broken masks covering the fleshy ball shattered directly.

Fan Chen continued to unleash the blazing fire from his blade.

His karma attribute is only 140 points, so using it like this will naturally deplete it quickly.

However, he can use three basic attributes to convert them into one.

With continuous charging, Fan Chen can continuously transform karma, so there is no need to worry about not having enough karma.

【Inferno - Severing Bones】

Dragging his ghostly blue flames, he quickly reached the Ghost King and slashed down with his sword.

Bang! The bloated and eerie body of the Soul-Hooking Ghost King suddenly exploded.

The bluish-gray flesh chunks split open in all directions, then converged towards Fan Chen.

They quickly coalesced into a giant mouth, and half of Fan Chen's body appeared inside this giant mouth.

The giant mouth began to close, and arms wrapped around Fan Chen's body once again.

Enduring the scorching heat of karma, Fan Chen's movements were halted.

Finally, the terrifying giant mouth closed, completely swallowing Fan Chen.

The Soul-Hooking Ghost King's fleshy body then began to swell.

Cracks appeared on the surface, from which eerie blue flames rose.

Boom! Its body exploded again, revealing the figure of Fan Chen's blood-slashing blade.

This time, the Soul-Snatching Ghost King's shattered body failed to reassemble; instead, it ignited karmic fire and quickly turned to ashes.

"I'm not reconciled! Why, after all I've given, have I still failed to ascend to immortality...?"

From a tattered mask came the roar of the boss of Shengxian Group.

This mask is burning with karmic fire.

It floated in mid-air, trying to make a final struggle, but ultimately it was reduced to ashes by the karmic fire.

[Reminder: You have killed the Soul-Hooking Ghost King (Level 21, Vicious Ghost)!]

[Psionic Power +21050]

The Soul-Hooking Ghost King is the product of the fusion of dozens of Soul-Hooking Ghosts, but Boss Shengxian holds the dominant position.

It is the leader of the soul-reaping demons and possesses the strongest obsession.

Fan Chen could understand: the group's big boss was seriously ill and, in order to survive, invited that Taoist in black to become his immortal master.

They even moved the entire Shengxian Temple into the company premises.

The company's employees believed in the absence of joy or sorrow and hoped for a so-called ascension to heaven.

However, it ultimately failed.

How could this resentment not run deep?

As the Soul-Snatching Demon King was killed, the surrounding temples and halls began to vanish like reflections in a mirror or the moon in the water.

The mask on Fan Chen's face also crumbled and fell off.

[Reminder: You have discovered a hidden clue: the Ascension Ceremony.]

To ascend to immortality, one must offer three kinds of tribulations—blood punishment, blazing flames, and freezing cold—as sacrifices to open the path to ascension.

A total of 104 people from Shengxian Group held an ascension ceremony, of whom 26 successfully ascended to heaven, while 78 became sacrifices.

Players can hold an ascension ceremony.

Simply wear any of the eerie masks from the Tiantong Building to kill other players through bloodshed, flames, and icy chills.

Then you can begin your ascension to immortality and enter the true Thirteenth Floor!

Fan Chen appeared in the corridor between the 12th and 14th floors, and a notification message appeared in front of him.

"The Ascension Ceremony...three tribulations: blood punishment, blazing flames, and freezing ice?"

Fan Chen looked slightly surprised.

He understood many of the things he hadn't understood in the previous illusion.

Of the hundreds of people who participated in the ascension ceremony, only a small number succeeded; the majority died from the calamities of their bodies being shattered (blood punishment), burned by flames, and frozen in ice, turning into soul-reaping ghosts.

Those who die in these three calamities are essentially sacrificed, becoming stepping stones for the successful.

Players can also reenact this ritual by killing three players in these three ways to achieve ascension.

Enter the real thirteenth floor!
