"This stuff… it can't be washed off, right?" Flandre asked cautiously. "Anything we need to watch out for?"
Everyone turned their attention to him.
Zhuge Lan pondered for a moment, tempted to say that washing the hair would fade the color, causing an itchy scalp to drain their emotion points.
After all, they would see each other frequently.
A bunch of smelly… emotion points weren't worth the trouble.
"It definitely can't be washed off,"
Zhuge Lan said seriously—
"But with sufficient light, it will become more active."
"If left without sunlight for a long time, the effect will gradually weaken."
"And in places with many soul masters, they will also absorb the soul energy dissipated by them, passively increasing their soul power even more."
Upon hearing this, those who originally planned to hide away all the time showed bitter expressions.
Wasn't this basically forcing them to go out and show themselves?
But… with their appearance, going out would be social suicide!
[Emotion Points +15155][Emotion Points +15155]
Zhuge Lan chuckled.
Of course, the effects he described were fabricated.
The so-called special material was just spirit stone powder.
The passive increase in soul power and accelerated cultivation came from the spiritual energy contained in it, converted into soul power.
Whether they sunbathed or went to busy streets, the effect was the same.
But no one could prove it was fake, so it was real!
Occasionally, Zhuge Lan would activate an "accelerator" in crowded areas.
Who would dare question it? Heh heh heh heh heh—
Zhuge Lan suddenly felt a softness on his arm.
Turning his head, he saw Zhu Zhuqing looking at him with starry eyes, full of expectation.
Understood.
She wanted the acceleration effect—but didn't want a strange hairstyle.
Of course, he didn't need to make things complicated for his own woman.
[Consume 100,000 Emotion Points, exchange for 2 Beginner Spirit Stones!][Consume 1 Emotion Point, transform into a Spirit Stone Pendant!]
Zhuge Lan pulled out two pendants, one shaped like a cat and the other like a pig.
Clearly crafted by a master.
He handed them to Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.
"This works better, just wear it."
Zhu Zhuqing smiled and accepted it, standing on tiptoe to give Zhuge Lan a fragrant kiss.
Ning Rongrong was more uninhibited, leaping up to grab Zhuge Lan and giving him a passionate series of kisses.
Ma Hongjun and the others looked on enviously.
Envious of Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing for getting better benefits without messing around.
Also envious of Zhuge Lan, whose benefits never seemed to end.
[Emotion Points +15155]
When Ning Rongrong finally stopped, gasping for air, Zhao Wuji hurriedly said, "Since everyone has hunted their soul rings, let's set off for Tian Dou City!"
The others nodded repeatedly.
They were physically and mentally exhausted from this training trip.
All they wanted was some relaxation.
But…
Flandre looked gloomy.
Wasn't anyone paying attention to him?
"You guys are really overdoing it," Flandre said sadly. "I just broke through to level 80—no one noticed?"
"Ah?" Zhao Wuji exclaimed. "Flandre, you broke through?"
"Level 80? Soul Douluo?" Li Yusong bared his teeth.
"How could you break through first?" Lu Qibin complained.
"Is this real?" Shao Xin teased.
This was exactly… the scenario of fearing for a brother's hardship while also fearing being surpassed.
Flandre's breakthrough to level 80 left his fellow brothers shocked.
But he was delighted!
Proudly, he exclaimed—
"Yes! I broke through to level 80!"
"Everyone, help me scout for suitable soul beasts!"
"Today, I will break through fully and become a Soul Douluo!"
Hahaha—he was basking in the glory of a minor success.
Unfortunately, Meng Shu said leisurely: "Soul beasts in Sunset Forest are all below 60,000 years. If you want higher quality, you'll need to go to Star Dou Forest."
Flandre's laughter immediately stopped!
What?!
So he came to Sunset Forest for convenience… only to still have to go to Star Dou Forest?
"Fine then," Flandre said, pouting. "Let's go back to Tian Dou City first. Once everything is settled, I'll hunt in Star Dou Forest myself."
This was indeed the best choice.
After everyone finished discussing,
Zhuge Lan returned the Fragrant Qi Luo immortal-grade plant to his storage ring—since his spatial soul guide device could naturally hold living things.
Then, looking at the densely packed soul beasts outside, he revealed a sinister smile.
Flandre and the others felt their scalp tingle!
Damn it!
This kid was up to mischief again!
So many soul beasts… was he really going to use that trick?
"Wait!" Flandre hurriedly said. "At least let us set up some protection first!"
"Yes! Give us half a minute!"
"Quickly!"
The Shrek team pulled out foldable tents from their storage belts, setting them up in a panic.
This was their countermeasure learned from repeated experiences—avoid direct exposure to the golden light, and they should survive.
Zhuge Lan didn't idle either, stepping into the air.
His ability to walk in midair shocked Du Gu Bo.
—Floating in the air, wasn't this a privilege of Soul Douluos?
Watching the increasingly panicked Shrek members, he grew cautious.
Glancing at the only one who hadn't moved, Tang San.
"You brat, why aren't you moving?"
Tang San pursed his lips, saying nothing.
Was it that he didn't want to?
The storage belt had inexplicably degraded; the tiny space wasn't enough.
Even the foldable tents had nowhere to go.
He'd have to wait and squeeze in later.
But Du Gu Bo didn't understand his predicament.
Seeing Tang San's "arrogance," daring to ignore his question…
"Hmph!"
A wave of soul power struck, pinning Tang San to the ground.
Before any further action, a chanting came from the sky—Zhuge Lan's voice:
"What is filial piety?"
"What is love?"
Du Gu Bo instinctively looked up—suddenly reciting poetry?
Flandre still worried about Du Gu Bo—after all, he might become the vice principal one day.
Anxiously, he called out: "Du Gu, come in quickly! Or it'll be too late!"
Du Gu Bo hesitated.
He was a Soul Douluo… yet
"Even Sword Douluo couldn't avoid this trick!" Flandre added.
[Emotion Points +11111]
Why didn't anyone tell me sooner?!
But… as the only one present without emotional fatigue, and a Soul Douluo, Du Gu Bo was the target.
Zhuge Lan's eyes remained fixed on him!
Seeing Du Gu Bo tempted, Zhuge Lan's slow words suddenly burst out like a machine gun—
"Stronger Identification Technique!"
"Vwoom—"
A sun rose in the night sky, illuminating every corner of Sunset Forest.
The sudden light made 99% of the living beings instinctively look up, searching for the source.
They met Zhuge Lan's gaze, their stomachs swelling!
Including—Du Gu Bo, who hadn't yet retreated!
And Tang San, pinned and forced to face the sky!
💀 You guys, this is the path to death!!!
