Chapter 33: Zhu Zhuqing Wants to Train! Ning Rongrong Had a Blast!

Such a great source of experience points, and they only let me farm it once?

He wasn't satisfied!

"Is the Great Arena connected online?" Zhuge Lan asked unwillingly. "If I switch to another Great Arena, there shouldn't be any restrictions, right?"

Director Ao: "..."

You're really fearless, huh?

He didn't seem reckless, so he must have a solid background.

Better not provoke him!

"Haha, of course you can!" Director Ao replied. "The Great Arenas were established by the seven great soul master families, each managing different regions, and their information is not shared."

Perfect!

The first time always gives the most points.

As long as I can farm each location once, I'm okay with it.

"Well, since I can't compete now, is it okay if I stay in the arena?" Zhuge Lan asked.

At this point, Director Ao didn't even bother arguing over such a small matter.

He nodded and hurriedly left.

Zhuge Lan pulled out a recliner from his storage belt, casually sat on the arena, with sunflower seeds in one hand and juice in the other, fully enjoying himself.

Everyone below, whom he had just antagonized, was gnashing their teeth in anger.

Provoking hatred!

Blatantly provoking hatred!

"Kid, I'll remember this—ow!"

"I'll get my revenge—ouch!"

"What's that smell?!"

"Did you just—oh no, will I do the same?!"

"Please noooo!!!"

"Just think about where the baby will come out!"

"What?!"

"Nooooo!!!"

*[Emotion Points +10]*

*[Emotion Points +11]*

Oh, it can go even higher?

Those fierce, murderous looks seemed softer now.

Yes, keep it up!

Hate me more!

Contribute more emotion points!

After an hour, most people who had experienced the "birthing process" were exhausted, with only a few still howling.

The emotion points were now trickling in at one or two points at a time.

Zhuge Lan finally got up and leisurely walked toward the player tunnel.

—They all wished they could kill him, but what could they do?

They couldn't eliminate them all.

Better to slip away!

In the player tunnel, Ning Rongrong was staring at Zhuge Lan with a strange expression, her face full of relief from narrowly escaping disaster.

*[Emotion Points +5555]*

If Zhu Zhuqing hadn't dragged her to run fast enough earlier, she couldn't even imagine what would have happened!

Zhu Zhuqing, on the other hand, was much more straightforward.

She grabbed Zhuge Lan and ran toward the exit of the Great Arena.

But Zhuge Lan quickly pulled her back.

*[Emotion Points +1111]*

"What are you doing?" Zhu Zhuqing asked anxiously. "If we don't run now, we won't get another chance!"

Even someone as calm as Zhu Zhuqing had turned into a frightened bird.

This showed how big of a deal this was.

But...

"Relax, it's no big deal," Zhuge Lan said casually. "I already promised the Great Arena I wouldn't use that move again. They'll handle the rest."

Zhu Zhuqing thought for a moment and then let go.

She wanted to keep fighting, after all.

Ning Rongrong: "..."

One dares to say it, the other dares to believe it.

But knowing that Zhuge Lan had a mysterious family behind him, and surely someone was watching over him, Ning Rongrong didn't worry too much.

"Player 'Nether Spirit Cat,' please get ready for the next match."

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Zhuge Lan, who gave her an encouraging nod.

She nodded back and left for her match.

Now it was just the two of them.

Ning Rongrong couldn't help but ask, "That soul bone technique of yours—what kind of soul beast dropped it? I've never heard of it!"

"I don't know, it's ancestral," Zhuge Lan answered, quickly brushing it off.

*[Emotion Points +111]*

If this were in the past, Ning Rongrong would have exploded right then.

Now...

Well, if he didn't want to say, then he didn't have to.

After spending the morning together, Ning Rongrong's pride had already been worn down by the two of them.

—When people more talented than you work harder than you, how can you still be arrogant?

And with Zhu Zhuqing often saying nice things about Zhuge Lan, Ning Rongrong's attitude toward him had greatly improved.

That night.

Zhuge Lan grabbed Zhu Zhuqing with one hand and Ning Rongrong with the other as they dashed out of the gates of Suotuo City.

Seconds later, a group of over a hundred people surged out after them.

About half of them had activated their martial souls, and there were even several five-ringed Soul Kings.

Most of them were seeking revenge for the "birthing experience."

Some, however, were after his soul bone, hoping to kill him and take it.

But regardless of their motives, Zhuge Lan, even dragging two people, was absurdly fast.

He kept the distance between them at about a hundred meters—close enough to see but too far to hit with their soul skills.

It was frustrating!

*[Emotion Points +9]*

*[Emotion Points +4]*

*[Emotion Points +6]*

Taking advantage of the fact that he didn't use up energy, Zhuge Lan used the Spiral Nine Shadows technique to lead the chasing group on a fifty-kilometer chase.

Finally, the group realized they were being toyed with and gave up, cursing loudly.

"You little brat! Messing with me again?!"

"You're really not afraid of death, huh?!"

"How can someone be this tricky?!"

"Kid! Don't let me catch you again!"

"Don't show up in Suotuo City again!"

"How is this guy still running so fast after fighting all day?!"

*[Emotion Points +19]*

*[Emotion Points +29]*

*[Emotion Points +39]*

Zhuge Lan didn't back down.

He stopped, turned around, and started taunting them!

"Come on, short legs! Catch me if you can!"

"Nah nah nah!"

"Can't hit me—mad?"

"Hahaha—"

*[Emotion Points +49]*

*[Emotion Points +69]*

*[Emotion Points +99]*

(▼へ▼メ)▼メ)▼メ)

Several of them, enraged, charged at him with killing intent!

But these weaklings weren't worth Zhuge Lan's time.

He patted Zhu Zhuqing on the back, then sped up with both girls, disappearing from sight in just a few leaps.

Now everyone realized—they were just being led around on purpose!

—Even more frustrated!!!

*[Emotion Points +99]*

*[Emotion Points +99]*

*[Emotion Points +101]*

At the gates of Shrek Academy.

Zhuge Lan stopped running and let go of Ning Rongrong's hand.

He helped Zhu Zhuqing fix her hair, which had been blown out of place by the wind.

Zhu Zhuqing stared at Zhuge Lan, her gaze burning with excitement!

*[Emotion Points +2222]*

Zhuge Lan's performance today was 15 consecutive wins in solo matches!

Amazing!

Ridiculous, even.

—And he had even helped Zhu Zhuqing restore her soul power earlier!

How much soul power did all that require?

Yet after all that, he could still lead a group of soul masters on a wild chase!

How was that possible?

Even a Soul Saint couldn't manage such an impressive feat.

It had to be...

Soul power!

Zhuge Lan's incredible stamina came from his terrifyingly fast soul power recovery!

And...

Zhuge Lan only had half of the full technique.

How could Zhu Zhuqing not be totally enthralled?

*[Emotion Points +5555]*

"This was so much fun!" Ning Rongrong suddenly shouted. "Everything today was so thrilling! I've never experienced anything like it before!!!"

*[Emotion Points +2333]*

She grabbed onto Zhuge Lan's arm, her eyes shining.

"What prank could be more fun than this?"

"Zhuge, you have to take me along next time!"

"This was even more exciting than flying with Sword Grandpa!"

*[Emotion Points +2333]*

*[Emotion Points +2333]*

*[Emotion Points +2333]*

Zhuge Lan also laughed.

With all his antics today, how much hatred had he racked up?

To anyone who didn't know about his system, he'd just seem like a madman.

But these two?

One wanted to learn his technique, the other had a blast?

What a day...
