Chapter 127: Ghost Ranks

"Alright, that’s the introduction about the ghost." the Green Family Patriarch clapped his hand. "I don’t want to explain too much about them. You won’t be meeting any ghost more powerful than an unranked ghost."

"Why?" Leon frowned. He felt that the Green Family Patriarch was not serious when teaching them.

"Because there’s only 1 rank 1 ghost among 100 unranked ghosts so far," the Green Family Patriarch replied calmly. "Unless you’re extremely unlucky, you won’t be seeing that rank 1 ghost."

So rare?

The children were surprised and then felt that it made sense.

If there were so many rank 1 ghosts, there would be more casualties in various cities and they wouldn’t be able to handle it like they had done so far.

So they took it for granted.

Only Aya was listening carefully and knew that the number should have only been calculated recently. This meant that the number of ghosts had increased rapidly during this period of time and there might be more and more stronger ghosts.

’I have to reach rank 7 quickly.’

But Aya knew that she couldn’t be in such a hurry.

If she rushed too fast, her foundation wouldn’t be stable and it would affect her future achievement. While there was still a sense of crisis out there, Aya knew that she had to be steady.

There was no emergency yet.

She just have to practice harder.

It seemed that she had to sacrifice a large part of money to buy food during this period of time.

Neither Evan, Dean, or Leon knew that in the next period of time they would be beaten up a lot and then dragged to treat someone. It was truly a miserable time where they kept on losing their allowance.

The only gratifying thing was that Aya pointed out their mistakes, which allowed their fighting skills to improve rapidly.

Unfortunately, this method was really... painful.

"There are only two formations that you have to learn," the Green Family Patriarch continued and looked at the children. "The first one is naturally the sealing formation and the other one is the restraining formation. Both are useful and the restraining formation is even more useful when you want to run away from an opponent far stronger than you. It can buy you precious time."

"...What if we built the formation slower than our opponent’s chase?" Evan asked speechlessly.

If they could build a formation instantly, then it could indeed play such a role. But if they were slower than their enemies... what kind of enemies were they going to restrict?

They would be caught or killed first.

"You can set it as a trap when you do missions...." the Green Family Patriarch looked at these children and felt that they might not understand. "Forget it, just learn it and I’ll explain these two formation. Before that, how good is your sealing formation?

These children had made sealing formation during the test before, so the Green Family Patriarch felt that he should see their skills first.

Hearing this question, everyone turned their eyes to look at Yun.

Aya could make the formation but she had no interest to show her real skills, so she would leave this matter to Yun. Anyway, everyone seemed to have come to a tacit agreement that the one who formed their team is Yun.

She and Dean were basically the meat shield.

Leon and Evan were the main attackers with Leon being the control if it was needed.

"I can show it." Yun raised her hand.

And then they all watched as Yun drew the formation on the ground.

After she was done, the Green Family Patriarch criticized her heavily. This was because the drawing was a bit crooked and Yun draw so slowly. If the ghosts were as weak as the one they met in the classroom, it was possible for the other four to entangle the opponent for a long time.

But what if it was far stronger?

They would die first.

"From now on, you have to learn to draw the formation faster." the Green Family Patriarch shook his head, clearly dissatisfied with Yun’s progress. While her progress seemed to be pretty good, it was still far from enough for the Green Family Patriarch.

"Yes." Yun nodded solemnly.

Aside from her magic spells, Yun now had to practice formation too. The load would be very tiring but if Yun succeeded in learning the formation and all, she would be very capable in the future.

"Now... can the four of you draw a formation?" the Green Family Patriarch looked at the other four doubtfully.

The four children looked around with some hesitation and could only nod against their wills.

Silas saw this scene and looked away.

There were not many people with talent to draw formations in the first place. Even Yun’s talent could only be said to be barely passable.

If it was not because of the need of having a formation master... even if this person could only make one or two formations, there was no need for formation class to exist.

"In that case, let’s try it." the Green Family Patriarch didn’t have much hope, but he still ordered these children to try it out. What if they could also make formation?

In that case, there would be two formation masters in their team.

But the Green Family Patriarch felt that he was thinking too much.

Leon tried to draw the formation but the result was so crooked that it was hard to imagine that this was what people call a formation. Moreover, the dark element in his body leaked out during the formation drawing process, making the formation dark in color.

For a sealing formation... it was very unqualified.

Moreover, the ghosts usually contain dark elements and if they were to use dark elements to contain these ghosts, it would not work.

So the Green Family Patriarch immediately felt that Leon was not suitable to become a formation master.

"...I have tried my best," Leon said helplessly. It was not his fault that he had no talent in this area.
