"Before the Zodiac Department was abolished? Ox?" Wu Liang pondered over the words this person said.

Moreover, he noticed that the operatives were mentioning terms like "Ghost Hunters" which he couldn't comprehend.

Have I really been away for a year, or did I enter the wrong world?

Is this really the original world?

But when I came out of the Ghost Compendium, I was indeed at the Human Ancestor Temple!

Just as Wu Liang was contemplating the issues, the Zodiac Ox began to move not far away.

Crack—

The man, who appeared to have quite ordinary muscle mass, vanished from his position in an instant, as the cracking sound echoed from his previous location.

Looking closely, the ground tiles had fractured like a spider web.

One could imagine the enormous power unleashed at the moment he took off.

However, Wu Liang didn't even bother to look up as he lightly moved his fingers, and suddenly, a mass of gray-white mist emerged two meters behind him.

This mist coalesced into a solid entity resembling a shield that blocked Wu Liang's back.

At the very moment they formed, a fierce punch struck the Mist Shield.

"Impressive, can you see my movements?" Zodiac Ox's surprised voice came from behind Wu Liang.

He glanced at his fist which hit the Mist Shield, then at Wu Liang, who was still pondering, and his expression turned serious.

Logically, for such a high-speed movement, unless one possessed a special sense for space, it should only be possible for someone with physical strength perhaps greater than his own to keep up.

This pale-skinned guy... is his physical strength truly so exaggerated?

How come I've never heard of this person before?

"But merely blocking my punch is meaningless..."

Suddenly, Zodiac Ox's confident voice came from behind the Mist Shield again.

The next second, Wu Liang suddenly felt an invisible force strike heavily at his abdomen.

But before Zodiac Ox could show a smug expression, he realized the scene he expected, where the opponent collapsed on the ground, did not appear.

Thud—

Instead, a dull sound like a massive force hitting a metal block was heard.

That pale-skinned guy merely showed a surprised expression, touched his abdomen, and patted his wrinkled clothing!?

How is this possible! This punch of mine had the amplification of the Power Ghost, enough to take down a Red Robe with a single blow!

Even if it was received directly, there shouldn't be no reaction at all!

"The strength is alright, if it's a Fierce Ghost ability, then your way of transferring power is through the Awakened Ability, right? The combination is quite good." Wu Liang couldn't help but praise.

He had already discerned the strengths and weaknesses of this Zodiac Ox.

This person possessed a Fierce Ghost ability that could enhance simple physical strength to a terrifying degree, and his Awakened Ability allowed his attacks to penetrate defenses and directly affect the target.

Simply put, it's brute strength bypassing defenses, but when you think about it carefully, there's some cleverness to it.

After all, who would expect someone who appears like a brute, solely relying on physical prowess to brawl, to be capable of ignoring your defenses with a punch?

Didn't I just fall into his trap earlier?

Unfortunately, this level of strength really isn't quite enough for me.

"But let's not mess around any longer." After praising, Wu Liang turned his head and glanced at Zodiac Ox.

With just that one glance, Zodiac Ox felt dizzy.

It was as though, apart from his consciousness, his body no longer belonged to him.

When he regained his senses, he was startled to realize he had been dazed for several seconds.

In battles at this level, unless one side keeps hiding, being dazed for several seconds in a face-off is more than enough time to be killed countless times.

Wu Liang showed a slight smile and said, "I just separated all your senses for five seconds. If you don't want to feel that again, please go upstairs and greet Director Long, or I'll have to go myself."

He was now quite adept at utilizing the ability to modify reality.

Even in that brief moment, Wu Liang could already sense that it wouldn't affect the world anymore.

Wasn't the Ghost Compendium's purpose of taking me to the Fierce Ghost World precisely for this?

Zodiac Ox stared at Wu Liang for a few seconds, then turned and ran back to the official building without looking back, even using his Fierce Ghost ability to maximize his speed.

He was now certain.

This guy is absolutely someone that no one except Dragon in the current official ranks can withstand.

Perhaps even Dragon might not be able to gain an advantage against him.

Damn! Do we have to have such a freak causing trouble at such a tense moment!

Watching the opponent go upstairs, Wu Liang yawned and sat on a stone block by the roadside.

He could directly break through the defense line to seek Director Long.

But such action seemed too reckless, and in reality, if not for these operatives attacking indiscriminately, Wu Liang would have gone to the front desk on the first floor to notify Director Long and wouldn't have fought so wildly outside.

Now, after this brawl, Wu Liang became more curious about what changes had happened in the real world.

After a moment, five people walked out of the doorway.

Among them, Wu Liang finally saw a familiar figure—a certain little guy under one and a half meters tall.

"Ah! Shadow... umm umm!"

Upon seeing Wu Liang, Zodiac Rabbit was overjoyed and prepared to greet him, but at the moment of speaking, he realized he couldn't make any sound.
