After lunch.
Zhao Wuji could barely get to his feet. Limping, he led the team towards the Star Dou Great Forest.
He received exaggerated glances from Dai Mubai and Oscar.
— How many times did Teacher Zhao go at it last night to end up so drained?
Zhao Wuji had no way to defend himself.
He couldn't possibly admit that because he'd experienced childbirth, he'd accidentally gotten the runs again, which had aggravated his hemorrhoids.
He couldn't bring himself to say it!
But come to think of it…
How did his hemorrhoids flare up again, anyway?
They walked for more than ten kilometers.
Zhao Wuji hadn't recalled the instigator, Zhuge Lan.
It wasn't until Zhuge Lan felt safe.
He took out a long robe and put it on, canceling his Soul Bone Skill: Heaven's Reach.
In an instant.
Everyone's eyes focused on Zhuge Lan at the end of the line.

"It's you, kid!" Zhao Wuji slapped his forehead. "Wait a minute! When did you join the team? How did I not notice?"
Zhu Zhuqing flashed forward and tightly grasped Zhuge Lan's arm.
Her cold face showed a trace of panic.
She actually overlooked Zhuge Lan for so long?
It shouldn't be like this!
Even Tang San, who had lived two lives, noticed something was amiss.
"What special soul skill is it?" Tang San guessed, "Otherwise, it's impossible for us to collectively forget you, or rather, to ignore you, right?"
Zhuge Lan gave a thumbs up.
Tang San might not be much, but he had a good head on his shoulders.
"That's right, it's a special soul bone skill." Zhuge Lan admitted, "Last night… you all saw it. The commotion was too big, so I hid for a bit."

[Emotion Points +6666]
Good heavens!
So it was you who caused that ruckus!
"It's really you!!!" Zhao Wuji grit his teeth. "I heard that nine out of ten people in the entire town fell. How did you do it?!"
Zhuge Lan chuckled.
He passed the buck, saying, "It's like that soul ring. It was left by my ancestors. I don't know the exact age, but it's definitely not less than a hundred thousand years."
A soul bone skill from a soul bone of at least a hundred thousand years?
That made sense.
However...
[Emotion Points +9999] [Emotion Points +7777] [Emotion Points +8888]
Even Zhao Wuji was envious!
What kind of big family has so many good things?
"You could have at least warned me," Ma Hongjun grumbled, "My legs are still wobbly."
Zhuge Lan chuckled, not even bothering to reply.
[Emotion Points +4444]
Ma Hongjun's face fell, this was too much!
He was the victim here!
Even if you had warned him, you didn't say the consequences would be so severe, did you?
If he had known earlier, would he have disobeyed?
"Fatty!" Ning Rongrong spoke up for him, "Zhuge warned us last night not to go out, but you were blinded by lust and had to go offer yourself up!"
[Emotion Points +5555]
Ma Hongjun, knowing he was in the wrong, didn't say anything.
"Actually, I have another soul bone," Zhuge Lan said slowly. "The soul bone skill is for healing. It should be able to alleviate your condition. Do you want to try it?"
[Emotion Points +1111]
[Emotion Points +1111]
[Emotion Points +1111]
Everyone winced!
Even Zhao Wuji, a Soul Sage, didn't have a soul bone.
And you, of all people, have three already?
And possibly even more!
Are you showing off?
"Zhuge…"
Zhao Wuji said meaningfully,
"Sometimes, it's best not to be too flashy. It can attract trouble."
"Countless teams have become mortal enemies just because they hunted a soul beast and got a soul bone."
"When your strength isn't sufficient, it's best to keep a low profile."
Zhao Wuji gave a well-intentioned reminder, and Zhuge Lan naturally wouldn't object.
He nodded and said, "I understand. Isn't this just a matter of trust in everyone?"
[Emotion Points +6666] [Emotion Points +5555] [Emotion Points +2333]
One sentence harvested a small fortune in emotional points.
And the grateful gazes of the crowd.
"As long as you understand," Zhao Wuji didn't mince words, asking, "This healing soul bone skill of yours, it's not something passed down from your ancestors, is it?"
Once bitten, twice shy.
He was wary.
"No, it isn't," Zhuge Lan sighed. "This one is only 50,000 years old. I absorbed it by accident when I was playing in the family's storage room as a child."
[Emotional Points +4444]
[Emotional Points +3333]
[Emotion Points +5555]
"Do you even hear yourself?"
"A 50,000-year soul bone, and you're acting aggrieved?"
"Please, don't be so extra!"
Zhao Wuji was speechless.
He'd just asked a simple question.
"Well..."
"Hurry up and heal me!" Ma Hongjun eagerly approached. "My legs are so weak, I can barely walk!"
Zhao Wuji frowned slightly.
But he didn't argue with his student.
Zhuge Lan didn't refuse either – he felt there was a catch to this Soul Bone Skill: Holy Light Blessing!
He just didn't know how the system was going to do it.
Since you're offering, might as well test the waters!
"Ready?"
"Yeah."
"Everyone else, maybe get some distance?"
Everyone: "!!!"
They immediately scattered.
Ma Hongjun: Σ(っQДQ;)っ
No way!
Why do I need to stay away from him? Are you sure this Soul Bone Skill is okay?
Maybe we should still let Teacher Zhao... But before he could finish.
Zhuge Lan's left hand glowed with pure white light, condensing into a holy and bright white left arm soul bone.
He activated the Soul Bone Skill.
Zhuge Lan couldn't help but say—
"I bless you!"
A wave of holy light emanated from her hand, entering Ma Hongjun's body.
It was visible to the naked eye.
Ma Hongjun's somewhat pale face regained its color.
Even the dark circles from staying up late disappeared.
Looking at it... it does seem to be a proper healing, and a powerful one at that?
Zhao Wuji relaxed slightly and opened his mouth.
"Ah—"
"Oh—"
Ma Hongjun let out a long moan, a look of enjoyment on his face, and he tilted his head, involuntarily trembling.
Dai Mubai's eyebrows jumped!
Because he always had this posture when he was disarmed.
Everyone silently stared at Zhuge Lan.
(●—●)●)●) You call this proper treatment? [Emotion Points +1111]
[Emotion Points +1111]
[Emotion Points +1111]
"Pfft—"
Zhuge Lan couldn't help it and burst out laughing.
The healing was real, but it was poisonous! It restored life force while pushing a person's physiology to its peak, right? The system knew how to play.
Embarrassed,
Ma Hongjun also came back to his senses, realizing what he'd just done.
[Emotion Points +11111]
He completely broke down!
He glared at Zhuge Lan with a wronged expression, then turned and sprinted away.
—He couldn't bear to stay here any longer!
"Hey! Don't run around! You're getting close to the Star Dou Great Forest!" Zhao Wuji shouted. "Zhuge, quickly get someone to follow him!"
Zhuge Lan shrugged and motioned for the others to pursue.
Thinking about Ma Hongjun's performance just now, he was lost in thought.
Before his transmigration, during that act, his mind had been completely blank for those few seconds.
He hadn't bothered with what he'd promised to do outside.
—There hadn't been time to pull the tube, okay!
Wait a minute!
Zhuge Lan's eyes widened! He discovered the true use of this Holy Light Blessing!
That is—
