Seeing Tang San give in so quickly, Zhuge Lan snorted.
—A little brat is just a little brat, won't shed tears until he sees the coffin.
He questioned, "Well? Has the power increased?"
"It increased, it increased!" Tang San said while about to cry, "It's my knowledge that was too shallow, Brother Lan hurry and let go! I'm already scorched!"
[Emotion Points +44444]
Typical saying one thing but thinking another.
You're courting death, aren't you?
Zhuge Lan activated his fourth soul ring, lightning crackling everywhere.
He shocked Tang San until he looked like he had polio.
Only then did he release him with satisfaction.
Seeing Xiao Wu wanting to rush over with worry, Zhuge Lan glared at her.
—Don't forget our agreement!
Xiao Wu halted her steps, her eyes cloudy with sadness.
[Emotion Points +55555]
That's right!
This is the emotion I want!
Casually, Zhuge Lan inserted Li Jing's long sword into the ground, and the surrounding soil immediately turned red and soft, melting into liquid magma.
Magma!!!
So just now, he had still been holding back against Tang San?
The power of this soul skill was definitely ten-thousand-year level.
Even—
"Brother Lan…" Oscar asked in a trembling voice, "Your third soul ring, its current age is…"
"Oh, a mere 50,000 years." Zhuge Lan said casually, "To raise it to 100,000 years still needs a bit more time."
Everyone↓
o(Д)っД)っД)っ!
Damn!
Everyone looked at each other.
They rushed forward again and surrounded Zhuge Lan, madly flattering him.
Emotion points began firing out again.
Zhuge Lan smiled again.
That's more like it!
After several minutes—
Seeing Zhuge Lan not speaking, just smiling,
Everyone slowly calmed their emotions, waiting for his answer — would he increase their soul rings or not?
Zhuge Lan: "It's not impossible to raise your soul rings."
[Emotion Points +11111]
Zhuge Lan: "But the family has rules."
[Emotion Points +15155]
Zhuge Lan: "But we're all familiar with each other."
[Emotion Points +11111]
Zhuge Lan: "But even if we're familiar, rules are still rules…"
[Emotion Points +15155]
He dragged them along.
Another nearly 300,000 emotion points squeezed out.
Flander and the others were numb — can he just say yes or no already?
Finally they all stared at Zhuge Lan, refusing to respond to his back-and-forth, waiting for the final answer.
Zhuge Lan sighed regretfully.
They've gotten smarter!
If this were at the start of school, he could've squeezed at least 500,000+.
Since the profit wasn't high, he stopped messing around.
"Alright, I won't tease you."
"If you want your soul rings raised, I can."
"Zhuqing, Rongrong, come here."
Everyone looked around and finally realized the two girls weren't even inside.
They were holding hands outside watching the show.
People hurried to open a path.
Zhuge Lan grabbed each girl by the hand, having them release their Martial Souls and soul rings.
The remaining wisp of divine consciousness appeared behind him just to put on a show — the remaining energy could barely act cool.
'System, add some effects.'
'Raise each of their rings to 1,000 years.'
[Divine Power Infusion to Soul Rings: 100 Emotion Points / year!]
[Cost 64,500 Emotion Points — Zhu Zhuqing's first soul ring has been increased to 1,000 years!]
[Cost 27,400 Emotion Points.]
[Cost .]
[Cost .]
[Cost 1 Emotion Point — special effects activated!]
The divine consciousness behind Zhuge Lan suddenly burst with light!
A grand aura poured down from the heavens, enveloping Zhuge Lan and flowing into the two girls through their joined hands.
Their yellow first and second soul rings visibly deepened until they became fully purple.
This time the divine consciousness did not enter Zhuge Lan's body — it directly shattered.
Everyone stared dumbfounded, unable to react for a long time.
This… really works?!
[Emotion Points +99999]
[Emotion Points +99999]
The girls excitedly activated their soul rings to unleash their soul skills.
Ning Rongrong was still okay.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda already ignores levels and boosts by ratio.
Increasing soul ring age
mostly only reduced soul power consumption and strengthened physical body.
Nothing too immediately explosive.
But Zhu Zhuqing's first and second soul skills visibly leveled up!
Faster, stronger, deeper penetration!
Everyone's eyes turned red!
They stared at Zhuge Lan, emotion points exploding upwards!
Just like that,
Ten-plus people provided over a million emotion points, averaging over 100k each.
It covered most of Zhuge Lan's earlier soul ring activation consumption.
Truly spending little to gain big.
'Why didn't I think of dangling this bait earlier?'
Reflecting three times a day — a mistake.
But it's not too late now.
Zhuge Lan coughed lightly.
"Raising soul ring age consumes ancestor divine power."
"I left home in a hurry, so I only brought enough for eighteen soul rings to reach the 100,000-year level."
"Not much surplus."
"With so many of you, if divided evenly…"
"Each person only gets a few hundred or thousand years."
"Might as well concentrate it into a few people — raising the first three rings to ten-thousand years is no problem."
Everyone↓
(ω)))
Ma Hongjun jumped out first.
"Brother Lan, the dean and teachers are old already, let's not waste such precious resources, give them to us instead!"
Oscar's eyelid twitched, stepping away — afraid to be splashed in blood.
"Bang—"
Ma Hongjun was kicked flying.
"You rebellious brat!" Flander roared, "I raised you for more than ten years and you dare say that?"
Ma Hongjun got up in embarrassment, grinning.
"Just joking."
"I know the dean and teachers love their students the most."
"How could they possibly fight us for it?"
"They don't have that face!"
Killing with praise!
A moral trap!
And the worst part—
Flander and the others really fell for it.
—If they didn't have a spirit of sacrifice, why would they become teachers and open an academy?
"This I like hearing." Zhao Wuji laughed, "Then we won't fight you for this chance."
"Old already." Li Yusong turned and left.
"Actually, the first few soul skills don't get used that much anyway." Shao Xin comforted himself.
Lu Qibin happily stepped back.
He was the most salted-fish teacher at Shrek — if not morally dragged by Flander, he wouldn't even want to cultivate the Sunflower Manual.
The remaining eight Shrek students stared at each other warily.
So?
How do we distribute this quota?
"I say."
Meng Yiran calmly reminded—
"Zhuge never said he would give us anything, only said it could be shared."
"We're already fighting over it — what use is that?"
Everyone: "!!!"
Damn!
Almost forgot the main character!
They immediately looked at Zhuge Lan again, praising, promising, flattering.
But the emotion points weren't as high now.
Not because they weren't passionate…
'Damn system! Only knows how to push me to stir trouble!'
Zhuge Lan sighed — not like he wanted to stir anything.
Then he revealed his signature smile.
Making everyone shudder in dread!
Here it comes!
Zhuge Lan is about to stir trouble again!
But—
Raising soul rings was too tempting!
They could only brace themselves, waiting for his terms.
Then—
"What?"
"This is…"
"Exciting!"
