[High-martial world + class advancement for all + paranormal + comedy] Humiliated in front of everyone and kicked off her team by the campus belle captain, Zhong Li is mocked across the internet as a sickly invalid who coughs up blood. His apprentice seizes the opportunity to take his place.
He turns around and enters the secret realm passed down by Zhong Kui's family, awakening his true form as a Netherworld Summoner.
The Ghost Bride is his personal bodyguard. Anyone who dares approach gets crushed on the spot. “Husband, did you like my magic trick?”
Black and White Impermanence serve as his left and right guardians. One massages his legs; the other claims souls.
Wherever the Drought Demon appears, the land dries for a thousand miles, and all magic is powerless against it!
“Hey, Painted Skin, turn into a fox spirit and clean out my ears.”
When Zhong Li's squad of vengeful ghosts bursts onto the scene and crushes the so-called geniuses, the campus belle goes mad. “What kind of monster are you?!”
Zhong Li wraps an arm around A Zi's slender waist and chuckles. “I was only pretending before. Now... I'm here to turn the heavens upside down!”
“I'd like to see what sort of monster this is, daring to wreak havoc among mortals!”
Later, the Nine-Dragon Heavenly Venerable descends to vanquish evil, storming over to Zhong Li and going straight for the kill.
A moment later...
“Good grief, you scared the life out of me! I was so terrified, I nearly lost my dragon!”
