Mu Rufeng hypnotized himself briefly, convincing himself that these ten individuals were deadly enemies and then activated "You Die, I Live" and "Potential Burst," instantly enhancing his strength.
Following that, Mu Rufeng took out the soul-sucking gourd.
In Huaxia, Mu Rufeng wouldn't dare to do such a thing, but abroad, his concerns were much less.
The first stop was right here; he planned to spend the next few days visiting several boastful nations.
Mu Rufeng took a deep breath and started the soul-sucking gourd.
A stream of black air emerged from the mouth of the gourd, then rapidly expanded and spread out in all directions.
In the blink of an eye, it reached the maximum range of five kilometers.
Mu Rufeng's peak status could only stretch this distance.
However, Mu Rufeng wasn't Ye Lin and didn't have the money to invest in the gourd.
Mu Rufeng took out ten thousand soul banknotes and tentatively let the gourd suck them in.
Mu Rufeng felt the range of the soul-sucking gourd expand by a hundred meters, and after absorbing another ten thousand soul banknotes, he found the range had increased by another hundred meters.
Now he finally understood that it wasn't that ten thousand soul banknotes would double the range but rather increase it by a hundred meters.
The reason Ye Lin said so was because his range was a mere hundred meters; he invested ten thousand soul banknotes once and doubled the range, thus doubling it.
With this in mind, Mu Rufeng took out ten million from his Heaven and Earth Bank Card and piled them in front of him.
Subsequently, handfuls of soul banknotes were devoured by the gourd.
The Soul Absorption Domain also began to expand wildly, reaching a seventy-kilometer radius in the blink of an eye.
This city covered fourteen hundred square kilometers, which was roughly sixty-plus square kilometers in diameter.
Mu Rufeng had stretched it to seventy kilometers, which meant the entire city was embedded within.
Ordinary people couldn't detect it, but Contractors with Ghost Power sensed it instantly.
And this city was the Capital of the Asan country, naturally full of Contractors, with the strongest likely concentrated here.
So, there really were quite a few Contractors with Ghost Power.
They too instantly recognized the coverage of Ghost Power.
Their first instinct was to deploy their own Ghost Power, then try to break through or even flee.
But they found that no matter how far they ran, they were still within the domain of the Ghost Power.
They even realized that the Ghost Power covered the entire city, including ordinary people.
In an instant, the whole city went into a state of martial readiness.
After all, this was a Capital.
Mu Rufeng was well aware of everyone's reaction.
He released his own Ghost Power seamlessly blending into the Soul Absorbing Ghost Demon domain.
Inside, he was akin to a god, able to change some things, alter the topography, and even be privy to and observe everything within the domain.
Since Mu Rufeng was here to absorb soul power, not to slaughter,
He ignored those engaged in dangerous operations, like surgeons performing surgery, drivers, those working at high altitudes, the elderly, infants, and so on.
If their soul power were absorbed and their bodies suddenly changed, it would certainly lead to dire consequences or even endanger their lives.
As for others, like watching TV, walking, sleeping, working in an office, playing games, and so forth, it didn't matter.
As for animals like cats and dogs, Mu Rufeng didn't absorb their power.
After all, absorbing once resulted in 0.1 of soul power, and these cats and dogs would probably die from it.
A faint suction surrounded most people in the city.
In just one minute, Mu Rufeng felt the soul power inside the soul-sucking gourd soar significantly.
"One minute?" Mu Rufeng was slightly startled.
Ye Lin had said he took ten minutes to absorb 0.1 units of soul power.
But Mu Rufeng, in one minute, had absorbed 0.1 units, making such a comparison completely outshine Ye Lin.
Mu Rufeng guessed that the vast difference was first the disparity in strength, and second, likely the difference in soul power.
Five minutes later, Mu Rufeng retracted the Soul Absorbing Ghost Demon and picked up the ten corpses and the soul banknotes from the ground.
Mu Rufeng glanced at the current unit of soul power within the Soul Absorbing Ghost Demon and his eyes lit up with brilliance.
[Current Soul Power: 7,110,550]
Seven million one hundred ten thousand, a total of seven million one hundred ten thousand, which translated to soul power was seven hundred ten million.
In just a few short minutes, Mu Rufeng had accumulated seven times the amount of soul power he had painstakingly earned in the Golden City.
"F**k, this soul-sucking gourd is way too awesome."
Even for someone as well-traveled as Mu Rufeng, he found it hard to contain his excitement.
"But the consumption is quite substantial, huh." A rumble like thunder came from Mu Rufeng's stomach.
Controlling such a vast range of the Soul Absorbing Ghost Demon, even with the Discover more novels on NovelHub - your gateway to endless stories.
Immediately, he took out a considerable amount of food, ate quickly, and then triggered the Starving Ghost's Stomach for fast digestion.
The hunger in his belly vanished in an instant, bringing his status back to its peak.
Using soul banknotes also replenished Ghost Power, though slowly, but eating was different; paired with his ability – Starving Ghost's Stomach – it was perfect.
Right away, Mu Rufeng donned the Thunder Fire Armor and headed towards the next city.
