Wicked + Wicked = ? The Entire Town Experiences a Mother's Love!

Bang—

Crack—

Ye Zhiqiu's turtle shell, formed through Martial Soul Possession, shattered!

Zhuge Lan's fist still carried the force of the blow as it struck Ye Zhiqiu in the stomach.

Urgh—

The punch made him retch on the spot.

A string of Emotional Value notifications floated up, followed by a flood of discussion.

"That kid is really only a Soul Elder?"

"Only three Soul Rings lit up just now, so that should be right?"

"Couldn't he be hiding one or two?"

"But how old is he? Becoming a Soul Elder is already outrageous. Could he be even stronger?"

"Even if he's from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he couldn't have started cultivating in the womb!"

"Didn't you notice? He hasn't even summoned his Martial Soul."

"Holy shit!"

"That's insane!"

Ye Zhiqiu retched uncontrollably a few more times.

He gritted his teeth and stood up, making a swallowing motion.

Emotional Value +1999

Zhuge Lan took a step back in disgust, afraid that the guy would choke and spray him all over.

Emotional Value +2999

"I admit it. I underestimated you." Ye Zhiqiu said seriously, "Again!"

He summoned his Mystic Turtle Martial Soul once more. His First and Fourth Soul Rings lit up.

"First Soul Skill: Dark Tortoise Body Protection!"

"Fourth Soul Skill: Solid Ice Armor!"

The turtle shield around his body became much more solid, covered in thick ice crystals.

Then...

He crouched down in place again, hiding inside his shell like a turtle.

Zhuge Lan grinned.

This guy really knew how to follow his heart.

Without further courtesy,

he activated Spiral Nine Shadows, splitting into four figures that surrounded Ye Zhiqiu and unleashed a wild barrage of punches!

"Ora ora ora ora—"

Countless shards of ice flew everywhere, shooting into the ground as a layer of frost spread outward.

The surrounding spectators were so frightened that they hurriedly retreated a considerable distance.

And, naturally, contributed another wave of Emotional Value.

More than ten seconds later,

Ye Zhiqiu discovered in horror that the solid ice around his turtle shell was being chipped away bit by bit.

It was only a matter of time before it shattered.

And this kid hadn't even summoned his Martial Soul?!

Ridiculous!

He could not keep defending, or things would end badly for him.

"Third Soul Skill: Dark Water Surge!"

A ring of water rippled outward, trying to push Zhuge Lan away.

Buzz—

Thorn Armor passively protected its master and withstood the water's impact.

Ye Zhiqiu himself, however, was staggered backward by the small portion of the water wave that rebounded at him.

"Good!" Zhuge Lan shouted, erupting with Soul Power all over his body!

Riiip—

His shirt and part of his pant legs exploded into scraps of cloth that filled the air.

The battle looked exceptionally heated.

The spectators became excited. This was exactly the kind of show they loved!

Especially some of the women.

Beneath the clothes of that gentlemanly-looking young man were sharply defined muscles?

Combined with the fist-to-fist brawl, it set off wave after wave of screams!

They were in love!

Ye Zhiqiu was completely baffled.

No!

His Soul Skill only had a knockback effect!

And hadn't the water wave clearly been blocked?

Why had his clothes torn apart?

Zhuge Lan did not give him time to think.

He split into four figures again, surrounding Ye Zhiqiu and hammering away at him!

All while continuously shouting—

"So strong!"

Mm.

Fine, whatever.

As long as he could save himself and his students, a few foul words were nothing more than wind in his ears.

Zhuge Lan was honestly impressed by Ye Zhiqiu's turtle-like posture.

His hands were going numb from pounding, yet the man was still hiding in his shell?

My attack power is still a little lacking.

"As expected of a Soul King!"

"Not enough!"

"I need to become stronger!"

He looked as if he had encountered an evenly matched opponent, utterly fired up.

Emotional Value +1111

Ye Zhiqiu was on the verge of collapse!

What the hell was this Little Devil doing?

He had clearly only been taking hits. When had he ever fought back?

Wait!

Could this be...

mocking him?

Later, I'll exchange for some Martial Arts to try out.

Zhuge Lan took a moment to scan the surroundings.

Quite a crowd had already gathered, and they were all Soul Masters.

It was time to get started!

Using his afterimages as cover, Zhuge Lan summoned the Soul Spirit Thorns Armor. His Third Soul Ring lit up.

"Third Soul Skill: Chaotic Taunt!"

Ye Zhiqiu, who had been as steady as an old turtle, instantly saw red!

Scenes from his past surged through his mind, and his fury soared to the heavens!

"Don't underestimate me!"

"Second Soul Skill: Dark Water Ice Seal!"

An icy aura enveloped the area around him, intending to force Zhuge Lan back first.

But!

Zhuge Lan actually leaped into the air, landing above his head?

Ye Zhiqiu gave a cruel smile.

Die!

His Fifth Soul Ring lit up, and his head compressed unnaturally into his chest like a spring.

"Fifth Soul Skill: Dark Tortoise Ejection!"

Ye Zhiqiu shot up from the ground. As he neared Zhuge Lan, his head suddenly sprang out, smashing viciously toward Zhuge Lan's chest!

It should have been a guaranteed hit.

Yet Zhuge Lan's feet kicked out in apparent panic, and his body strangely rose another stretch higher.

—Instantaneous Movement!

He narrowly escaped the attack range of Ye Zhiqiu's neck.

The killing blow missed!

But Zhuge Lan's face flushed red, and he kicked fiercely against the air beneath his feet.

His whole body curled into a shrimp-like shape, his legs twitching spasmodically as he shot straight into the sky.

Even after Ye Zhiqiu landed, he was still flying upward.

Emotional Value +2222

Ye Zhiqiu, having regained his senses, stood there dumbfounded with his mouth hanging open.

No!

Was this guy trying to scam him?

His head had not even touched him!

How had he flown so high?

Watching Zhuge Lan become a tiny black dot,

Ye Zhiqiu went numb.

This fight was fucking suffocating!

No!

When that kid came down, he had to at least hit him back.

Huh?

Who was he going to hit again?

Ye Zhiqiu frowned and looked around in confusion.

Why was he here?

High in the sky,

Zhuge Lan, now wearing only a pair of very short shorts, activated the Soul Bone Skill Close In Distance, Far In Horizon.

After confirming that no one had noticed him,

the External Soul Bone: Sage's Eye emerged and activated at once!

"What is filial piety?"

"What is love?"

"Feel the greatness of a mother's love!"

"Strongest Appraisal Technique!"

Buzz—

A brilliant golden light lit up the night sky, like a new sun suspended in the heavens.

It illuminated the entire town.

Ye Zhiqiu, who had been scratching his head, instinctively looked up.

So did the onlookers nearby, as well as everyone throughout the town who could see the golden light!

Why was there such a bright golden light in the middle of the night?

Before they could think further,

they discovered in horror that their bellies were growing larger!

They changed with every passing second. Would they burst?

Fortunately, after ten seconds, the swelling stopped.

Only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.

A heart-rending agony surged like a tide, drowning all reason!

"Aooow—"

"Hiss—"

"Aaaahhh!!!"

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!!!"

"This familiar feeling."

"I'm still a grown-ass man!"

"Stop talking! I'll dissect myself!"

"What the hell is going on here?!!!"

The little town had descended into complete chaos.

Zhuge Lan stood suspended in midair.

Listening to the cries rising and falling below, and the Emotional Value flooding his vision.

His first reaction wasn't delight.

But...
