Bug Discovered! A Self-Indulgent EXP Pack! Second Update—Please Subscribe

The healing Soul Master waved his scepter.

But the wounds glimmered with a ghostly light. Not only did they show no signs of healing, they worsened even further.

"Huh?"

"Second Soul Skill: Purification!"

Holy Light descended.

Yet it merely stopped the wounds from worsening.

The healing Soul Master increased his Soul Power output, but the results remained minimal.

In the end, he had to use his Fourth Soul Skill to slowly heal the wounds.

By then,

the Gorgeous Girl's consciousness had already begun to blur from excessive blood loss.

She turned back in a daze.

To her horror, only two figures were still standing on the stage?

One was naturally Zhu Zhuqing.

The other was the middle-aged man who had insulted them earlier—their captain, Mad Rhino.

Though he was a defense-type Soul Master, Zhu Zhuqing's attacks tore through him as though he were made of paper.

Every swipe of her claws left behind another wound.

They were deep enough to expose bone, dripping with blood!

Yet none were fatal.

That gave Mad Rhino hope of victory. He held his ground, waiting for a chance to counterattack.

But from a third-person perspective,

Zhu Zhuqing was clearly at ease. She was simply toying with him.

These two are terrifying!

With that final thought, the Gorgeous Girl collapsed to the ground.

On the stage,

Zhu Zhuqing was not bored enough to play around with a middle-aged man.

Mad Rhino was simply tough enough to serve as a target for testing the Thorn Nether Form.

Her most basic speed, agility, and reaction speed had all improved dramatically.

They far surpassed Martial Soul Possession.

It even felt somewhat like a Martial Soul Avatar.

But the most crucial aspects were the two major traits: Sharpness and Decay!

The Sharpness Trait gave the claws on her hands the ability to "ignore defense." Her attacks could pierce through Mad Rhino's defenses and land directly on his flesh.

The ratio was roughly 3%.

Don't underestimate that.

This was defense-piercing damage!

Besides,

the ratio would surely increase as their levels rose.

Once they both became Titled Douluo,

would 100% truly be impossible?

In comparison,

the Decay Trait was far less impressive. It caused wounds to decay and become difficult to heal, even rapidly worsening!

It required a higher level of power, or greater expenditure, to dispel the condition and heal the wounds.

—The Hell Spirit Cat already possessed this trait; it simply was not as powerful.

Once she had finished testing it,

Zhu Zhuqing thought, "Zhuge, do you want to try your form?"

"No." Zhuge Lan replied casually, "My Thorn Nether Form focuses on defense and strength, and it also has the Constant Trait and Designation Trait."

"Constant Trait: the Soul Skill effects of Soul Spirit Thorns Armor are all bestowed upon the armor. One effect can also be made constant, even a specific negative condition from the Abomination Curse."

"Designation Trait: reflected damage can be designated to any target within a five-meter radius of the attacker, rather than only being reflected back at the attacker."

—All this information could be checked in the system.

Emotional Value +4444

It sounded terrifyingly powerful!

Most absurd of all,

Zhuge Lan had only activated his Thorn Nether Form once, and it had lasted merely a few seconds.

Yet he could summarize it in such detail?

Emotional Value +6666

As expected of the person she had chosen!

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at the battered Mad Rhino.

Her gaze was icy.

Her sharp claws carved an X across Mad Rhino's chest, slashing from both shoulders down to his waist. Blood erupted like a volcano.

It stained nearly half the Soul Arena platform red.

"Whoosh—"

Zhuge Lan released the Martial Soul Fusion Skill and looked at Mad Rhino, who lay in a pool of blood.

He could not help shaking his head.

Why did you have to run your mouth when nothing was wrong?

The next moment,

a tidal wave of cheers nearly blew the roof off the entire Great Soul Arena!

"OOOH!"

"They won!!!"

"Seven Wolves Team! Fucking awesome!!!"

"The Berserker Team actually lost? Trash!"

"My entire fortune!"

"Waaah—"

Some rejoiced, while others despaired.

Zhuge Lan could not be bothered with any of them.

Because—

Emotional Value +13

Emotional Value +19

Emotional Value +14

They had broken 9!

Could even ordinary passersby exceed the limit?

This discovery was critically important!

This Great Soul Arena is practically an EXP treasure trove custom-made for my system!

He happily harvested Emotional Value.

This time, even the referee did not rush to urge them along.

—With the order in such chaos, who would listen to reason anyway?

The staff quickly entered the arena and skillfully maintained order.

They had to stop those gamblers who had lost everything from doing anything that would harm the Great Soul Arena's interests.

Several minutes later,

the frenzied atmosphere gradually calmed down.

Only then did the referee announce—

"The Seven Wolves Team sent out only two members in their first battle, yet crushed the highly promising Berserker Team!"

"Let us look forward to them creating even more miracles!"

"The Seven Wolves Team wins this team battle!"

"Please give them a thunderous round of applause!!!"

Most of the audience members were listless.

They had lost most of their fortunes. How could they possibly cheer?

Only a small number of lucky people screamed at the tops of their lungs!

Emotional Value +18

Emotional Value +13

Emotional Value +19

Look how excited they were. Don't pass out in a moment.

Right before Zhuge Lan's eyes, a middle-aged man with a flushed red face toppled headfirst to the floor.

And produced an astonishing—

Emotional Value +29

Whoa!

Wasn't this joy turning into sorrow?

Emotional Value +29

Another one?

Emotional Value +29

There were more?

Emotional Value +29

Wait!

Looking at the people who had collapsed, every single one gave 29 Emotional Value.

Zhuge Lan fell into thought.

It seemed

he had discovered a bug!

It was just a bit against the natural order, and he could easily be mistaken for an Evil Soul Master.

But!

I should be able to farm quite a bit of Emotional Value in Slaughter City.

As he pondered,

Zhu Zhuqing tugged Zhuge Lan away through the contestant passage.

Flender and the others were nowhere to be seen.

Zhuge Lan had expected this. He headed to the Wager Match counter.

The place was packed with excitement, and everyone's faces were flushed red.

The moment they saw Zhuge Lan appear,

the crowd exploded!

"It's The Condor Heroes!"

"The Seven Wolves Team!"

"Fucking awesome!"

"I made five times my money! This is incredible!"

Emotional Value +19

Emotional Value +19

Emotional Value +19

All of them were exceptional 19-point Emotional Values. It was clear just how excited they were.

But then—

Emotional Value +2333

Emotional Value +2333

Emotional Value +2333

Oscar squeezed through the crowd with a pile of money bags in his arms and arrived before Zhuge Lan.

"We made a fortune!" Oscar howled. "The academy's funds are much more abundant now! We can add more meat to the Cafeteria too, right?"

"Add it! Add as much as you want!" Flender waved grandly. "Ordinary meat isn't enough—add Soul Beast meat!"

"Woohoo!" Ma Hongjun cheered. "I'll eat one piece and throw one—"

Bang—

Flender kicked Ma Hongjun to the ground.

"Having money doesn't mean you can waste it!" he scolded.

Everyone burst into laughter.

After the brief farce,

the group of seven left the Great Soul Arena and leisurely returned to Shrek.

Flender was in such a good mood that he did not put them through training.

He held a small abacus and began clattering away on it.

The others were much the same.

Thinking about his beautiful dreams, Emotional Value kept popping up nonstop.

Emotional Value +999

Emotional Value +555

Emotional Value +2333

Emotional Value +1111

Zhuge Lan grinned from ear to ear.

Was there anything better than an experience pack that could fantasize on its own?

Zhuge Lan took a moment to glance at his balance.

"Hiss—"
