Chapter 577: Chapter 577: The Evil Ghost Deliberately Released

Scarlett Jennings looked again at the group, “What do you all think?”

Previously, the person in charge mentioned that the Ghost Bottle they took would affect the content of the second round of the competition, so Scarlett Jennings obviously couldn’t make the decision alone.

Upon hearing this, Gregory Xander remained indifferent and said, “Sounds good.”

Evan Anson nodded as well.

Stella Gibson, hiding behind Nathan White, still bravely said, “If you’re not afraid, I’m not afraid either!”

Ashton Todd, afraid of missing out, poked his head out and loudly said,

“Who’s afraid? I actually chose it because I thought it was tough, so let’s go with it!”

Nathan White: …

“Let’s, let’s listen to Scarlett.”

All six agreed unanimously.

Scarlett Jennings then prepared to put away the bottle, and as for the other three, they would not touch them.

That was their plan, but surprises often come unexpectedly.

Just as Scarlett Jennings had finished choosing the Ghost Bottle, they heard a cracking sound from one of the glass bottles on the shelf.

Their eyes darted up and they saw the bottle placed in the middle, seemingly affected by the constant collisions from the Resentful Aura inside, develop a crack on its surface.

Before they could react, the bottle’s Resentful Aura quickly squeezed through the crack and, in the blink of an eye, swept away the Talisman Paper stuck to the bottle’s opening!

In a swift motion, the three Evil Ghosts that had been sealed inside the bottle, accompanied by the Resentful Aura, rushed straight towards them.

Scarlett Jennings and Gregory Xander stood at the front, and without thinking, simultaneously activated their Talismans.

“Break!”

Two Talisman Lights formed a barrier in front of them, deflecting the three Evil Ghosts.

Seeing the three Evil Ghosts circling around to charge at them again, Scarlett Jennings unhesitatingly threw out two Talismans, creating a Barrier that enclosed Ashton Todd and the others.

At the same time, she shoved the only intact Ghost Bottle into Ashton Todd’s arms.

“Protect the bottle.”

Ashton Todd trembled but instinctively held the bottle tightly, afraid it might shatter.

Fearing that the Talisman Paper on the bottle might also be swept away by the Resentful Aura, he pressed it down with one hand.

The little boy inside the Ghost Bottle remained motionless in the face of this sudden change, quietly curling up.

Scarlett Jennings and Gregory Xander exchanged glances, planning to capture these three Evil Ghosts again together.

Just then, Elysia Xander and her team finally arrived upstairs.

Elysia Xander saw the group being surrounded by the three Evil Ghosts at a glance, and then she saw the three empty bottles on the shelf. Her eyes immediately filled with cold anger,

“You actually released the Evil Ghosts from the Ghost Bottles on your own!”

Inside the Barrier, Stella was the first to protest, “It wasn’t us!”

But Elysia Xander didn’t listen, certain this was Sea City’s scheme to prevent the other three teams from successfully passing.

She glanced coldly at Gregory Xander, “Stop denying it!”

Gregory Xander’s face showed some anger, but he didn’t have the time to care about her thoughts now.

Scarlett Jennings was even less inclined to deal with her, throwing a Talisman in the direction of one of the Evil Ghosts,

“Supreme Heaven and Earth, encompass the six directions, four spirits and evils, dare not escape, bind!”

A clear sound resonated as a Spirit Light Chain emerged from the Talisman, tightly binding one Evil Ghost.

She wanted to resolve it directly, but since these three Evil Ghosts were part of this competition, she couldn’t just eliminate them carelessly.

She had to think of a way to catch them first.

At this time, the audience watching the live broadcast outside instinctively held their breath at this sudden change.

Even the mentors responsible for this competition changed their expressions slightly upon seeing the Evil Ghosts escape from the Ghost Bottles.

However, before they could respond, Scarlett Jennings skillfully locked up one ghost.

The mentors from Capital Metropolitan secretly let out a sigh of relief and looked at the mentors from Sea City, “Your academy’s Scarlett is impressive.”

Master Sun chuckled, “She’s alright, this kid has good talent, but she tends to focus too much on one area, so her Talismanic Magic is stronger than her senior brothers and sisters.”

The mentors from Capital Metropolitan: …

The kids from Mystical Sect, don’t they all specialize in one Mystical Technique? You call this focusing too much? The show-off is real!

…

At this time, inside the building.

The other two Evil Ghosts, initially fierce, now swiftly turned towards the window to escape after seeing Scarlett Jennings’ decisive action.

“Not good! They’re escaping!”

A member of the Capital squad exclaimed, and Elysia Xander didn’t bother with anything else, immediately throwing a Talisman Paper at one of the Evil Ghosts.

Unfortunately, Gregory Xander was also trying to stop that ghost, causing the two Talismans to collide mid-air, allowing the Evil Ghost to slip away to another spot. Gregory Xander turned and snapped at Elysia Xander,

“Stop interfering!”

Elysia Xander’s face turned red with anger at his words.

Who exactly is interfering?!

Determined to be faster than Gregory Xander in dealing with that Evil Spirit, Elysia Xander disregarded everything else and directly summoned her Fire Thunder Talisman.

“Heaven and Earth Fire, Myriad Techniques Burn…

When Gregory Xander heard the first line of the spell, his face changed, and he turned to reprimand her again,

“Are you trying to scatter its soul completely?! Stop!”

But Elysia Xander didn’t listen at all, quickly reciting the rest of the spell,

“… Grant the Imperial Decree, scorch everything!”

A tongue of flame, accompanied by crackling electricity, surged towards the escaping Evil Ghost, soon engulfing it.

With a scream, the Evil Ghost was quickly burned and completely dissipated.

The other Evil Ghost had already slipped away during the chaos.

No one was in a hurry to chase after that one.

To ensure the competition continued smoothly, the entire building was enclosed with an Array Barrier.

The Evil Spirit couldn’t escape.

Gregory Xander coldly glared at Elysia Xander and directly questioned,

“Why did you disperse it directly?!”

Elysia Xander, after killing one Evil Ghost, was unashamed and even justified,

“It was an Evil Ghost, what’s wrong with me killing it?”

She paused and then sneered,

“If you hadn’t released them, I wouldn’t have had to intervene.”

The Capital squad students, seeing this, also spoke up in defense,

“Exactly! The rules only allowed taking a bottle, you took your Ghost Bottle and deliberately released the other three, clearly not wanting us to complete the competition!”

Ashton Todd almost couldn’t hold back his anger,

“Can’t you understand spoken words?! We already said it wasn’t us who let them out!”

“If it wasn’t you, then why would they escape on their own out of nowhere? Four Ghost Bottles with four Evil Ghosts, and only yours didn’t run? Who would believe that?!”

The Capital Metropolitan students were convinced Sea City students were up to something, and both sides couldn’t refrain from arguing.

Just then, another scream from the Evil Ghost came from downstairs, accompanied by the voice of a Spritelife Group youth,

“Where did this Evil Ghost come from? Is this competition about killing ghosts too?”

The two teams in the room heard this and their expressions changed slightly, setting aside their argument, and they hurried outside, just in time to see the six Demons from Spritelife Group in the opposite building, with one of the youth holding the Evil Ghost by the neck tightly.

The two teams shouted towards the other side, “Wait, don’t kill it…”

However, before they could finish speaking, they saw on the opposite side, the cold youth using his other demon energy-filled hand as a blade, striking fiercely at the Evil Ghost’s head.

The Evil Ghost held by the youth was instantly decapitated, and soon, it turned into scattered dust and disappeared.

In an instant, two of the four Evil Ghosts were gone.

This meant two groups wouldn’t be able to pass the competition.

Upon realizing this, Elysia Xander turned around, suddenly pulling out her Peach Wood Sword, and pointed it towards Scarlett Jennings and the others, her gaze cold,

“You caused this mess, hand over the Ghost Bottle you have.”
