Facing Xiao Wu's question, Dai Mubai stated, "This is Shrek's teaching method."
"As the saying goes, the master guides the door, but practice is up to the individual. Strong people all have their own principles."
"Therefore, the academy doesn't interfere too much with the students' cultivation, allowing us ample room to develop."
Xiao Wu: "…"
Tang San: "…"
This teaching philosophy…
Is it serious?
Without a simulated environment, how can you accelerate cultivation?
Without a solid theoretical foundation, how can you build a strong base?
There's still room for improvement.
Is it because the academy is too poor? They have no other choice, right?
Zhuge Lan saw through it, but didn't plan to say anything.
—I still need to earn points at Shrek Academy. There's no need to start a map-wide attack like this.
"It's quite free, actually," Zhuge Lan joked. "It's better than making us run with stones on our backs, right?"
[Mood Points +233]
[Mood Points +666]
[Mood Points +111]
Everyone laughed.
"That was the dean yesterday, testing everyone's physical fitness," Oscar said with a laugh. "Who lets Soul Masters train by running? That's hilarious."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Only Zhuge Lan smiled mysteriously.
"You'll find out soon enough who's so funny."
"Since we have nothing else to do, anyone want to go to the Arena?" Zhuge Lan asked.
Zhu Zhuqing was the first to step forward.
She never refused a chance to get stronger.
Dai Mubai hesitated for a moment.
Feeling that it wasn't the right time to discuss the situation in detail, he just shook his head and left.
Giving up feels good for a while, but giving up all the time feels even better.
"Dai-laoda, wait for me!" Ma Hongjun quickly caught up, "The thing you mentioned last night, take me with you!"
Tsk! This is the consequence of being left to one's own devices.
No wonder Shrek Academy has always been so-so; it makes sense.
Tang San said he needed to organize his equipment, and Xiao Wu followed suit, supporting her husband.
They also left.
Leaving behind the eager Oscar and Ning Rongrong, who was unsure whether to stay or go.
These two support-type individuals couldn't participate in solo matches on their own, and forming a team was out of the question.
So...
"Rongrong and I will team up," Zhu Zhuqing suggested, "It'll be good training for the Spiral Nine Shadows."
This was clearly to build a relationship with Ning Rongrong and help Zhuge Lan with his pursuit.
Ning Rongrong was naturally thrilled.
But she knew the decision wasn't hers, and she looked at Zhuge Lan expectantly.
Zhuge Lan scrutinized them.
Delicate skin, exquisite features, and a noble aura.
Plus, that talent for devouring...
"Alright," Zhuge Lan nodded, "Teaming up with Zhu Qing wouldn't be challenging for me. This is just right for weight training."
[Emotion Points +666]
[Emotion Points +999]
Ning Rongrong laughed, "I'm not bad either, you know? I can definitely help Zhuqing take on two opponents!"
"Then I'm finished."
Oscar gave a wry smile.
"Lan-ge, it's not that I don't trust you,"
"But you're a control and defense type, and neither of my soul skills have any offensive power..."
"Can we really win this?"
"You've got a good sense of yourself."
"Then I'll use you to farm some emotional points first."
"Zhuqing, you guys go ahead. I'll catch up later," Zhuge Lan said.
"Okay."
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong left.
Zhuge Lan headed towards the dormitory.
Oscar thought for a moment, considering a certain possibility.
He quickly followed.
[Emotion Points +999]
He stopped at the dormitory door.
"Wait here for a moment. I'll prepare the medicine for you."
[Emotion Points +1111]
As expected!
"Alright!" Oscar said enthusiastically, "I guarantee not even a mosquito will get into Brother Lan's dormitory!"
Zhuge Lan entered the dormitory and opened the system shop.
He scrolled to the Whale Rubber section.
Spending 8,000 emotion points, he exchanged for 10,000-year Whale Rubber, which could increase the cultivation age by about 3,200 years.
Heated and melted, the whole pot was taken away.
"Eat it while it's hot, the medicinal effect will be greatly reduced when it cools down," Zhuge Lan said.
[Emotion Points +1222]
Oscar didn't care about the heat, holding the pot and gulping it down.
He even licked the bottom of the pot clean before putting it down, still unsatisfied.
"Is this all there is to it?" Oscar asked.
"Of course not," Zhuge Lan said with a smile, "Go to your dormitory, it'll be a little exciting later."
Stimulating?
Oscar was puzzled.
Dai Mubai was out having fun and wasn't in the dorm.
Soon.
The side effects of the Whale Rubber began to take effect.
Oscar's skin flushed red, his peach blossom eyes became somewhat hazy, and his breathing quickened.
[Emotion Points +555] [Emotion Points +666] [Emotion Points +777]
Seeing Oscar lose his mind, the way he looked at him was off.
Zhuge Lan summoned Li Jing's longsword and swung it.
"Crack—"
▄█〓█(ω)シ Oscar was kneeling firmly, his writhing body pinned in place.
Even more uncomfortable!
[Emotion Points +999] [Emotion Points +1111] [Emotion Points +1299]
His emotional points kept climbing, showing no signs of slowing down.
In just this short time.
The 8000 emotional point cost had already been recovered, and the rest was pure profit.
"Hoo——"
"Hoo——"
Oscar was panting heavily, which annoyed Zhuge Lan.
He glanced around.
Zhuge Lan凝 condensed his soul power to make gloves, picked up a pair of stiff socks, and stuffed them into Oscar's mouth.
Oscar: Σ(っQДQ;)っ
[Emotion Points +2222]
[Emotion Points +3333]
[Emotion Points +4444]
Whoa! It seems there's quite a story behind these socks.
Facing Oscar's pleading gaze.
Zhuge Lan said seriously, "If you try to take it out now, you might bite off your tongue. Are you sure you want to change?"
[Emotion Points +5555]
Oscar closed his eyes in despair.
Two lines of clear tears overflowed from his eye sockets, evaporating from his body heat.
Zhuge Lan chuckled.
He wouldn't go easy on this opportunity to openly torment someone!
He'd be losing money if he didn't make back two or three times the investment! So.
Oscar endured a nightmarish half-hour.
He was only freed when his emotional points dropped to double digits.
[Consumed 1 emotion point, constitution scan complete!]
"Not bad, 3200 years of added physique."
Just one sentence.
Made Oscar, who was on his last breath, sit bolt upright! [Emotion Points +1111]
"Really?" Oscar exclaimed in surprise, "3200 years? That's so much, isn't it? It's too exaggerated!"
3200 years!
The limit for a third spirit ring was about 1760 years.
This was almost enough to absorb a 5000-year spirit ring!
That's too powerful, isn't it?!
"The herbs aren't old enough, that's why there's so little." Zhuge Lan said with disdain, "Zhuqing's increased by 6660 years, so her fourth spirit ring can be ten thousand years."
[Emotion Points +5555]
Oscar bared his teeth, unsure how to react.
A ten-thousand-year fourth spirit ring?! That's ridiculous! Just compare.
A sense of loss welled up in his heart; why was he only... "Slap!"
Oscar slapped himself directly.
What was he even hoping for?
With an extra 3200 years, how far ahead was he already? "3200 years, I'm already satisfied!" Oscar said sincerely, "Lan-ge, from now on, you're my brother! Just tell me if you need anything, I won't delay!"
[Emotion Points +6666]
That's a sincere attitude.
Zhuge Lan casually laid out a plan——
"If the deal with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect goes well, I'll have them provide you with another one with a high age, making up for the missing 3,000 years."
[Emotion Points +9999]
Oscar eagerly came over and began massaging Zhuge Lan.
"Lan-ge, you're literally my god!"
"Are your hands tired?"
"Let me give you a massage!"
He enjoyed a service.
After confirming that Oscar wouldn't offer anything more,
Zhuge Lan quickly left.
Spiral Nine Shadows, as an evasion technique, wasn't suitable for long journeys.
But its burst speed was incredible!
Under the system's "No Consumption BUFF," Zhuge Lan continuously used Spiral Nine Shadows.
He became like the wind.
At the city gates of Soto City, he caught up with Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu.
Zhu Zhuqing gave him a questioning look.
"3200 years."
[Emotion Points +1111]
A smile played on Zhu Zhuqing's lips.
Such obvious preferential treatment made her feel very happy.
On the side.
Ning Rongrong was also very tempted, but she still held back.
——Once Dad acquires the formula, will she be left out?
The three of them walked towards the Soto Arena.
A nightmare and a carnival were about to begin!
