"What's this, trying to bully the weak?"
Zhuge Lan gave the order.
"Brothers, show him your Martial Souls and let him see who the real big shots are!"
Zhu Zhuqing was the most obedient.
She revealed her Netherworld Spirit Cat Martial Soul, with two yellow soul rings pulsing.
Ning Rongrong followed closely behind.
Her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul caused a wave of gasps!
——This is exclusive to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!
Two yellow soul rings didn't seem impressive.
Dai Mubai was a step behind.
He released his White Tiger Martial Soul, and his yellow, yellow, and purple soul rings drew attention.
Another Soul Elder!
Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Oscar also revealed their martial souls and soul rings in turn.
Ye Zhiqiu's scalp tingled.
All of them were the best combinations!
And there was also the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul?
Especially the one leading them. Not only was he a Soul Elder at such a young age, but his first, second, and third soul rings were all thousand-year-old ones! It was insane!
What kind of god-tier configuration was this?
He was definitely a core disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, wasn't he?
[Emotion Points +555]
[Emotion Points +555]
[Emotion Points +555]
They'd hit a wall!
Even the hotel owner, who had just poked his head out, quietly retreated back into the kitchen.
He knew which was more important, his life or his money.
"Ahem!"
Ye Zhiqiu quickly retracted his Martial Soul, forcing a smile.
"Ahem, I apologize for any offense, esteemed members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. It was all a misunderstanding!"
"This table is on me, and we're leaving immediately."
He grabbed the stunned young man beside him and prepared to flee.
"Hold it right there!"
Ma Hongjun stood with his hands on his hips, putting on a brave face.
"I just said, if you want to apologize, then give that girl…"
"Smack!"
Ma Hongjun covered the back of his head, looking bewildered at Zhuge Lan.
Wait!
"Why'd you hit me?"
"I stood up for you, but not to support your bad behavior."
Zhuge Lan said, displeased.
"What's this nonsense about not causing trouble being a sign of mediocrity? It's complete rubbish!"
"The only reason I intervened is because we're a team now, and I can't just watch you get bullied."
"But don't push it, alright?"
"Or I'll deal with you right now!"
[Emotion Points +1111]
[Emotion Points +5200]
[Emotion Points +999]
[Emotion Points +555]
Following a string of emotion points, Ma Hongjun wore a bewildered expression.
Huh?
The education he had long received prevented him from understanding Zhuge Lan's words.
Meanwhile, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong's eyes shone as they looked at Zhuge Lan.
A man who is polite and takes responsibility, who wouldn't love a man like that?
Especially with Ma Hongjun as a comparison, Zhuge Lan appeared even more impressive!
Zhuge Lan showed his attitude.
He didn't bother about Ma Hongjun anymore – he wasn't his father, after all, and didn't need to teach him how to behave.
He looked towards Ye Zhiqiu once more.
"Teacher, you heard it too."
"Although it was our team who made the first mistake, no one actually laid a hand on anyone."
"What's your solution?"
[Emotion Points +444]
Ye Zhiqiu was in a dilemma.
Apologize?
He was a Soul King, after all.
But if he just left…
Being targeted by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would mean certain death!
No!
He was definitely dead!
After a moment of hesitation.
Ye Zhiqiu helplessly slumped his head, forced to grovel for his life.
"Well—"
He knelt directly in front of Zhuge Lan and kowtowed with a resounding thud.
"This lowly one was blind and failed to recognize your greatness. Please, sir, spare me!"
"These students are just children; please, spare their lives as well!"
[Emotion Points +999]
[Emotion Points +666]
[Emotion Points +555]
Zhuge Lan was dumbfounded by this kneeling.
He even looked down, but he hadn't summoned Li Jing's longsword?
Uh... Could the Black Tortoise Martial Soul really be so flexible and adaptable? The attitude was too perfect, making it difficult for him to proceed.
He was hesitating.
Ma Hongjun provided a helpful assist: "What's the use of just talking? It's better to do something practical."
Well done!
Just as Ye Zhiqiu took out his money pouch, ready to pay to avoid disaster.
Zhuge Lan stopped him.
He said righteously,
"We're not bandits, why would we take money?"
He glanced sideways at Ma Hongjun as he spoke.
[Emotion Points +2222]
Ma Hongjun looked aggrieved.
He couldn't even flirt with the girls, and he wasn't even allowed to extort money to go whoring?
Zhuge Lan ignored him and continued,
"We are all Soul Masters, so of course, we should settle this like Soul Masters."
"I'll have a Soul Battle with you, and no matter who wins or loses, we'll call it even."
"How about that?"
[Emotion Points +2333]
[Emotion Points +1111]
[Emotion Points +666]
[Emotion Points +233]
Everyone was stunned!
A Soul Elder with three rings was challenging a Soul King with five rings to a soul battle? Even if you had the best thousand-year first, second, and third soul rings, there was still a huge gap of two major ranks! Was he serious? Ye Zhiqiu hesitated slightly and tentatively asked:
"Sir, as a member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, I presume you keep your word?"
Zhuge Lan nodded affirmatively.
——He was just confirming that he kept his word.
As for how Ye Zhiqiu understood it, that was his own imagination and had nothing to do with him.
'Sure enough!'
'He really is a genius from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!'
'Then I'll focus on defense later, let this kid beat me up to vent his anger, and just drain his soul power.'
Having made up his mind, Ye Zhiqiu took the initiative and said——
"It's not convenient to fight here, let's go outside?"
The original intention was to have more witnesses, as young people are often too embarrassed to go back on their word.
But this perfectly suited Zhuge Lan's plans.
—He needed a large crowd to harvest more emotional points.
"Let's go!"
Zhuge Lan walked towards the door, simultaneously holding back Zhu Zhuqing.
"You two stay here and don't peek outside."
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong exchanged a look, instantly understanding.
—He's going to use that move!
[Emotion Points +1111]
[Emotion Points +1111]
"Then be careful," Zhu Zhuqing said with concern.
"Go easy on them, they're quite pitiful," Ning Rongrong said, unable to bear it.
They then turned and went upstairs, without the slightest hesitation.
This decisiveness...
...made Xiao Wu, Tang San, and Dai Mubai, who had experienced it firsthand, immediately sense the danger.
[Emotion Points +666]
[Emotion Points +555]
[Emotion Points +444]
Zhuge Lan stood in place.
"We'll wait for you here," Dai Mubai said.
Tang San and Xiao Wu nodded in agreement.
Oscar, though unaware of the situation, trusted Zhuge Lan.
He stood beside Dai Mubai.
Only the troublemaker, Ma Hongjun, kept his eyes on the mature girl opposite them and followed after her.
As if he hadn't heard anything.
But... [Emotion Points +233]
[Emotion Points +233]
[Emotion Points +233]
Emotion points only appear when there are emotional fluctuations caused by Zhuge Lan.
Could Ma Hongjun, with his head full of thoughts about girls, possibly have any room for Zhuge Lan in his mind?
It was obvious.
This guy heard it, but didn't want to comply.
Zhuge Lan didn't try to persuade him either, quickly walking out of the hotel.
A good word is hard to give to a ghost seeking death.
Hearing that a Soul Elder was challenging a Soul King, a lot of onlookers had gathered.
They surrounded the area in layers, leaving the center clear.
Ye Zhiqiu stood in the back half of the area, waiting quietly.
"Ready?" Zhuge Lan asked. "The rules are simple: whoever loses their ability to fight, loses."
Ye Zhiqiu silently summoned his Black Tortoise Martial Soul. After the Martial Soul fusion, he squatted on the ground, retracting his limbs and head into his shell.
He was ready to get beaten.
In a deep voice, he said, "Come on!"
Oh! So self-aware? With a ready-made target, no need to rush the plan – let the news spread more, get more people.
Before that... Let's create some showmanship to attract those unlucky souls! As he watched—
Zhuge Lan didn't even summon his Martial Soul.
He channeled his soul power into his fist and went in with a simple punch.
[Emotion Points +99]
Ye Zhiqiu's lips turned down. This kid was too dismissive... "Bang—"
"Crack—"
Ye Zhiqiu's Martial Soul-infused turtle shell shattered!
And that wasn't all!
A sound could be heard—
"Ugh—"
