"Seventh Soul Ability: Golden Crocodile, Death Roll."
A roar echoed from the sky as the Golden Crocodile Martial Soul True Body charged directly at the barrier. With a "crack," the barrier shattered.
"Impossible, how could this be?"
A-Lu's face changed drastically. This barrier was his most powerful defensive ability, yet it shattered like paper at a touch.
Looking at the Golden Crocodile above his head, his heart pounded, and an extremely dangerous aura instantly assailed him.
"Damn it."
"Seventh Soul Ability: Bear's Fury."
The Earth Bear Martial Soul True Body roared, black light surged from its body, and explosive sounds emanated from it.
A more powerful aura surged from the Earth Bear Spirit and then charged towards the Golden Crocodile Spirit.
The Golden Crocodile Martial Soul True Body bit at the Earth Bear, and the Earth Bear Spirit also bit back, and the two immediately began to tear at each other.
For a moment, they were evenly matched.
A-Lu let out a long breath, a look of excitement on his face.
Afterward, he looked at Zhuge Lan and said mockingly.
"I thought Zhuge Lan was incredibly powerful, but it turns out he's just like this!"
And the Spirit Hall Soul Masters behind him also breathed a sigh of relief. They had been intimidated by Zhuge Lan's reputation before, even preparing for death at one point, but now it seemed he wasn't so formidable after all!
"Seriously, brothers, isn't Zhuge Lan that powerful?"
"Let me go, I feel like I could do it too."
"Yes, this puts my mind at ease."
The Soul Masters of Spirit Hall actually burst into laughter. After all, defeating Zhuge Lan, especially within their Spirit Hall Soul Master circle, was a very proud achievement in the Soul Master's world.
"I didn't expect this kid's Spirit to be quite good," Zhuge Lan said calmly.
Some of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Soul Masters behind him showed ugly expressions and began to whisper.
"What's going on? We were counting on Zhuge Lan to defeat all the Spirit Hall Soul Masters, but how is he in a stalemate with a Soul Douluo?"
"This… I don't know either. Could it be that Zhuge Lan isn't that powerful? But that's not right! There must be strength behind a great reputation, how could this be possible?"
"Don't worry, I came with Lord Zhuge Lan from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Lord Zhuge Lan hasn't exerted himself yet."
Many of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples began to question, but some who came with Zhuge Lan were not very worried.
Poison Douluo sighed as he observed the situation.
"Stop playing, finish this quickly."
Sword Douluo nodded but did not speak.
Zhuge Lan took out a talisman, which transformed into a golden light and instantly shot towards the Golden Crocodile Martial Soul True Body. As the golden light merged with the Golden Crocodile Martial Soul True Body, the Golden Crocodile began to roar, and its body underwent a massive transformation.
A golden giant dragon appeared before everyone.
The giant dragon Martial Soul True Body roared, and the giant bear Martial Soul True Body retreated in fear.
A-Lu was greatly shocked!
"What is this thing? It's not a Soul Ability, is it?"
"Why should I tell you? Go to hell."
Zhuge Lan's lips curled into a faint smile. This was an enhancement talisman he bought from the system store, costing thirty thousand Emotions Points per talisman, lasting from half an hour to an hour. It seemed to be quite effective.
"Dragon. Hunt."
The giant dragon Martial Soul True Body charged towards the giant bear Martial Soul True Body, biting off the giant bear's head, then spitting out a stream of golden flames.
The giant bear began to burn.
"Cough, cough, cough, impossible, impossible." A-Lu's face was filled with terror.
He coughed up a mouthful of blood and then fainted on the ground.
"Ah! Lord A-Lu lost."
"Run! There's no time if you don't run!"
"Zhuge Lan is truly terrifying; the legends before were true."
The Spirit Hall Soul Masters ran while speaking in terror, their faces filled with shock and bewilderment.
"Great! We finally won! As expected of Zhuge Lan, he's truly wonderful!"
"Yes, yes, I also didn't expect Zhuge Lan to be so powerful."
"I told you, right? Zhuge Lan was just playing around with this A-Lu before. As long as he used a few tricks, A-Lu wouldn't be his opponent at all."
[Emotions Points +67122]
[Emotions Points +76528]
[Emotions Points +124323]
Zhuge Lan's eyes lit up. These Emotions Points were much more than before, and it was over a hundred thousand—a hundred thousand was a threshold.
This was just fighting a Soul Douluo; the Emotions Points gained from fighting a Titled Douluo would definitely be even more.
"Trying to run? Where are you going?"
"Soul Ability; Dragon Flame."
The giant dragon chased after the Spirit Hall Soul Masters, a mouthful of golden dragon flame blasting towards them.
"No, no."
"Help! Help!"
Accompanied by screams of fear, these Soul Masters were instantly melted, turning into dust.
Their own Soul Masters jumped up excitedly.
Some Soul Masters even rushed forward.
"Damn you, Spirit Hall Soul Masters! You used to take advantage of us, but now look! I'll beat you to death!"
"Let's go, enter the village! We need to reclaim what belongs to us."
"Quick, there must be many things in the village that haven't been taken."
[Emotions Points +42121]
[Emotions Points +32122]
[Emotions Points +21223]
Zhuge Lan smiled faintly and walked in with the other Soul Masters.
In a shop, several Soul Masters opened a box filled with exquisite spirit tools.
After a compartment was broken open, countless gold coins poured out with a "clatter."
With a "crack," a jar shattered on the ground, and an enchanting aroma of wine instantly wafted out.
In the village hall.
Zhuge Lan, Poison Douluo, and Sword Douluo were drinking tea together.
"Three Lords, we found a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Soul Bone."
"I have some unknown crystals here; please take a look, Lord."
"Also, I found an egg, but I don't know what kind of Spirit Beast egg it is."
A large pile of spoils appeared before the three of them, among which three items were valuable: a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Bone, a dozen green crystals, and a Spirit Beast egg.
Zhuge Lan picked up the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Bone and examined it.
"Judging by the bone structure and patterns, it should be the leg bone of a Ten-Thousand-Year Giant Lizard. It should be good for disciples to use; we probably won't need it."
With that, he tossed it to a disciple nearby.
Poison Douluo picked up the green crystals, his eyes lighting up, and a look of longing immediately appeared on his face.
"That, Zhuge Lan, can I have these Blue Poison Python Stones?"
"Blue Poison Python Stones?"
Zhuge Lan's face showed a look of confusion.
"It's like this: Blue Poison Python Stones are crystallized toxins formed within the bodies of Blue Poison Pythons. They are highly poisonous, but for me, they are a great tonic."
"Sure, of course. Since they're suitable for Poison Douluo, then let Poison Douluo have them."
Zhuge Lan nodded.
Poison Douluo carefully took out a box and placed all the Blue Poison Python Stones inside.
"This egg, is it…?"
"It's a Rainbow Phoenix Chicken egg. It's not very useful if hatched, but it's a great tonic if made into soup," Sword Douluo explained.
