The arsonist vengeful spirit was arrogant and its strength was close to that of a ferocious spirit.
Head-Dog could suppress it but not as easily as other spirits.
Ultimately, although Head-Dog could restrain spirits, it lacked combat capability itself.
However, with Wen Wen present, things were different. He easily subdued the arsonist spirit using only the water ghost's hydrokinesis and Qin Shuang's ice abilities.
Generally, special spirits could possess a wide array of abilities, with their capabilities being as rich and varied as those of human superhumans. Su Dan Novel Network.
However, spirits' abilities have significant limitations. Less than one percent of special spirits can possess special abilities, and the types of these abilities are usually related to their cause of death.
Yet, even with the same ability, the way spirits use it is vastly different from how superhumans do.
For instance, Qin Shuang's freezing ability, if used against Gong Baoding before his advancement, would have certainly resulted in him being burned to ashes in an instant.
There are gains and losses; these spirits with special abilities usually have a much higher chance of advancement than ordinary spirits, and the unique physical structure of spirits is itself a powerful ability.
Bringing his night's haul, Wen Wen returned to the inn, closed the doors and windows, entered the bathroom, and silently vanished into thin air.
He needed to summarize his actions tonight. This investigation into the cult of blasphemy's stronghold had been largely fruitless.
But since the defenses were so tight, it was indeed likely a branch of the cult of blasphemy.
Currently, Wen Wen's strength was still insufficient. Once he truly possessed the strength of a proper Assimilation realm, he would begin his actions.
As for how to act… naturally, by filing a complaint!
He would have the Hunter's Association send people to围剿 (wéijiǎo - encircle and suppress), and then he would take the opportunity to rescue that retainer.
Speaking of which, Wen Wen estimated he would receive quite a few rewards for reporting a hidden organization's stronghold of this caliber.
Besides that, there was the harvest from capturing spirits tonight.
He had obtained a total of fifty-six vengeful spirit pearls, as well as one spirit that was close to advancing into a ferocious spirit.
He planned to sell twenty of them on the demon hunter website.
One vengeful spirit pearl could sell for over two hundred demon hunter coins, and if sold individually, the price would be even higher. These twenty would fetch at least four thousand demon hunter coins.
With over four thousand demon hunter coins, he could at least buy a practical superpower weapon of the Mastery realm. However, Wen Wen decided to save them for later to buy better items.
Wen Wen didn't lack ordinary superpower weapons.
Weapons like "Scorching Tiger" and "Wolves" were actually Assimilation realm superpower weapons. It was just that Wen Wen was usually reluctant to use expensive special ammunition, otherwise their power was quite formidable.
The twenty special bullets that Gu Panxi initially gave Wen Wen had not been used much by Wen Wen to this day.
This was because firing one bullet cost him two vengeful spirit pearls…
The remaining thirty-six vengeful spirit pearls, Wen Wen planned to use to nurture his spirits.
Due to the great danger posed by ferocious spirits and their lack of stealth, they were usually hunted down by the Hunter's Association as soon as they appeared.
Therefore, it was very difficult for Wen Wen to capture wild ferocious spirits. To obtain other ferocious spirits, he had to cultivate them himself.
Wen Wen first went to the disaster-level cells and saw Qin Shuang.
At this moment, Qin Shuang was standing upside down on the ceiling, enveloped in a chilling aura, his eyes gray and devoid of warmth. A sudden glance was rather frightening.
Since advancing to a ferocious spirit, he had developed a hobby for performance art.
Although he appeared the most frightening, he was the weakest among the monsters on the second floor.
Wen Wen wanted to see if feeding Qin Shuang a large quantity of vengeful spirit pearls could turn him into a disaster-level spirit – a ghoul.
He first dangled one pearl in front of Qin Shuang, and Qin Shuang's eyes immediately became fixed on it, showing its great attraction to him.
Thus, Wen Wen directly threw the vengeful spirit pearl to Qin Shuang.
Qin Shuang swallowed the vengeful spirit pearl as if he were chewing on candy beans, and immediately reacted after swallowing it.
Under Wen Wen's expectant gaze, he passed gas upside down…
And then, nothing happened!
During Qin Shuang's consumption, Wen Wen was in the Disaster Prison Overseer state and could clearly see Qin Shuang's energy changes.
After eating this vengeful spirit pearl, it only made his energy slightly more gloomy. Wen Wen estimated that even if he threw all the vengeful spirit pearls in his hand into Qin Shuang's stomach, there would be no significant improvement.
"If I don't give this good stuff to you anymore, giving it to you is simply a waste."
So Wen Wen turned to leave. Qin Shuang quickly got down from the ceiling and pitifully extended his hand towards Wen Wen's back, but ultimately did not ask for anything.
He was a ferocious spirit, an ice ferocious spirit, he couldn't beg for food like a pet!
As a result, as soon as Wen Wen's figure disappeared, Qin Shuang began to slap himself. Why couldn't he save face enough to ask?
Since it was useless for Qin Shuang, Wen Wen decided to strengthen the other spirits. There were currently four disaster-level vengeful spirits imprisoned in the containment facility, with abilities of mental shock, television infiltration, water control, and fire control.
Among these, the ghost of the steamed bun shop girl, Zhou Xun, who used mental shock, was the most helpful to Wen Wen.
Therefore, Wen Wen decided to nurture her first.
This was definitely not because she was the prettiest.
However, Wen Wen did not give them the items directly. Instead, he poured all the pearls onto the ground in front of the four spirits.
The eyes of the four spirits immediately became fixated, and they all rushed to the cell doors, expressing their desire to Wen Wen.
"Give me one… I'm so pitiful…" said the disheveled television ghost in a frightening tone.
The water ghost, still wet and biting his nails, said sinisterly, "Just one bite, I'll only take one bite!"
"I just want a lick." Zhou Xun's eyes widened, completely forgetting that Wen Wen had helped her family pass on.
The arsonist spirit, who still didn't quite understand the situation, reacted the most strangely. He yelled at Wen Wen, "Hurry up and give those things to me, or I'll burn you to death when I get out!"
Regarding the arsonist spirit's outburst, Wen Wen, who was magnanimous, naturally didn't mind. He flicked his finger, and the arsonist spirit writhed on the ground in pain. The entire cell was covered in flames, but there was not even a hint of heat outside the cell.
Leveraging the lingering power of punishing the arsonist spirit, Wen Wen said in a deep voice, "You can have these pearls too, but you need to show me your learning progress. The spirit with the best exam results next time will be rewarded with three, the second best with one, and the last will receive punishment. Do you understand?"
The first three spirits nodded like pecking chickens, while the arsonist spirit, although he didn't know what an exam was, still followed the example of the other spirits and nodded continuously.
Wen Wen believed that with the temptation of these items, these spirits would study diligently and strive to be useful spirits.
Someday, the abilities of these spirits would no longer be useful to Wen Wen, and at that time, he would need to utilize them elsewhere.
Only after they had been thoroughly brainwashed by this knowledge would Wen Wen dare to use them.
As for how to use them…
It was important to remember that Wen Wen now had the authority to release the monsters within the containment facility!
