Tang San's Frustration! This Easy Score!
Faced with Zhuge Lan unleashing his ultimate right in his face, Tang San not only had no way to refute him, but also had to thank him.
"Then I'll have to trouble you."
It was incredibly humiliating.
But for Xiao Wu's sake, he endured it!

Zhuge Lan nodded in satisfaction.
The emotional payoff was maxed out.
Though Little punk was a bit lacking as a person, he sure knew how to hold a grudge!
—A perfect fit for Zhuge Lan's needs.
Tang San did not immediately kill the Man Faced Demon Spider. Instead, he sat cross-legged to recover first.
He had truly been drained dry just now—not a drop left.
"They're up ahead!"
"Quick!"
"Catch up!"
Their voices arrived before they did.
Tang San opened his eyes and looked over.
Only for Zhuge Lan to slap him directly on the back of the head.
Smack—
It was crisp and loud.
Emotional Value +11111
Tang San clutched his head and looked at Zhuge Lan.
"You still dare glare at me?" Zhuge Lan struck first. "Aren't you going to look for your Xiao Wu? Focus on recovering. Leave the rest to me."
Tang San: "..."
Emotional Value +6666
What else could he say?
He closed his eyes and continued adjusting his condition.
Three uninvited guests emerged from the woods.
The fixed NPCs of the Star Dou Great Forest—Chao Tianxiang, Meng Yiran, and the tall, thin Dragon Duke Meng Shu!
He held a Dragon Head Crutch nearly four meters long, several soul rings pulsing beneath his feet.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, purple, black, black, black!
An eight-ring Soul Douluo!
Though it was not the optimal arrangement, he still had eight rings!
Not to mention that Dragon Duke and Serpent Granny possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
Zhuge Lan had already opened the exchange list and begun choosing a Soul Tool.
Meng Yiran and Chao Tianxiang were stunned when they saw the two of them.
Then they saw the spherical Man Faced Demon Spider in the distance, with no soul ring rising from its body.
They breathed a sigh of relief.
Good thing they had arrived in time.
"Grandpa!" Meng Yiran complained. "It was this guy who stole my Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent, and now he's even trying to steal the Man Faced Demon Spider?!"
Hearing this, Meng Shu planted his Dragon Head Crutch.
The full might of an eight-ring Soul Douluo erupted, pressing down like a mountain.
Puh—
Tang San, who had been peacefully recovering, was crushed until he coughed up blood.
—Didn't you say you'd handle everything?

A string of massive Emotional Value gains floated up.
Because
even under Meng Shu's oppressive aura, Zhuge Lan—merely a Soul Elder—still looked utterly calm and composed.
The contrast with the blood-vomiting Tang San could not have been starker.
—Aura pressure was nothing more than an attack on one's mind and Soul Power.
Unfortunately for him, Zhuge Lan's body had been strengthened by a Million Year Soul Ring, while his mind had been strengthened by a Million Year External Soul Bone.
He was only a Soul Douluo.
Even a Titled Douluo would have been useless. At the very least, it would take a demigod.
Zhuge Lan tossed out a Holy Light Blessing and healed Tang San.
"Ah~~~"

Then, yawning lazily, he said—
"Quit wasting your effort. I didn't even feel the aura of an Unrivaled Douluo. What do you amount to?"

Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang exchanged a look, understanding each other's meaning.
—This boy had a formidable background!
Should they eliminate him?
Or befriend him?
While the two communicated with their eyes, Zhuge Lan took the opportunity to admire Meng Yiran.
She had changed into a dark green fitted outfit that made her look valiant and showed off her figure nicely.
His gaze was perfectly open and frank.
Yet Meng Yiran's pretty face still turned bright red.
"What are you looking at?"
"Never seen a beauty before?"
"Grandpa!"
"This guy stole two Soul Beasts from me, and you're not going to say anything?"
Meng Shu's exchange was interrupted, and he frowned deeply.
This matter
was not easy to handle.
"Young friend," Chao Tianxiang spoke up. "We have been pursuing this Man Faced Demon Spider all night."
"I know." Zhuge Lan said bluntly, "It has injuries similar to those inflicted by a Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent. I can give it to you."

Zhuge Lan turned back to glance at Tang San.
Why was your reaction so big?
Don't panic. Watch how I handle this.
"Young friend, do you mean that?" Chao Tianxiang confirmed. "If you are willing to part with it, this old woman will compensate you as well."
Zhuge Lan waved a hand.
"That Man Faced Demon Spider is 2,003 years old."
"Your granddaughter is neither a Beast Soul master, nor does she have a cultivation method, nor has she strengthened her body."
"If she really dares to absorb it, I'll be impressed."

Chao Tianxiang's face darkened as she went to inspect the Man Faced Demon Spider.
She returned looking grim.
Helplessly, she said, "I can't determine its exact age, but it has indeed just surpassed 2,000 years. Yiran can't absorb it."
If it had been 1,800 years, she could have gritted her teeth and given it a try.
But 2,000 years...
Absolutely impossible!
No wonder the boy before them had been so generous.
It was just that—
"Hey, hey, hey!" Zhuge Lan called out. "What are you doing, sis? Put down that Novice Dagger!"
Not only did Meng Yiran refuse to put down the dagger, she even quickened her pace.
She aimed at the Man Faced Demon Spider's eye and unleashed a Salted Fish Thrust!
Swish—
Zhuge Lan used Spiral Nine Shadows and flashed to Meng Yiran's side in an instant, easily catching her wrist.
Emotional Value +11111 Emotional Value +11111
Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang were stunned!
Wasn't that speed a little too fast?
"Did you see it clearly?" Chao Tianxiang asked in a low voice. "All I saw was a shadow dart past."
"I saw it clearly," Meng Shu said oddly. "But I couldn't catch him."
Good heavens!
Was it really that outrageous?
The existence behind this boy was actually that terrifying?!
"Let go of me!"
Meng Yiran shrieked—
"Even if I can't absorb this Man Faced Demon Spider, it's still an evil Soul Beast that everyone has the right to kill!"
Oh?
Her sense of righteousness was pretty high.
Meng Yiran kicked at him, but Zhuge Lan casually caught her leg.
Smiling, he said, "Don't worry. It won't go to waste. My teammate just reached level 30, so he can absorb this soul ring."
Emotional Value +9999
"Who are you trying to fool?" Meng Yiran snapped. "Even I can't absorb it, so what gives that ugly kid the right?"
Zhuge Lan nodded in agreement.
"The fact that you can't absorb it doesn't mean no one else can. Ask your grandmother for the details."
Emotional Value +1111
"Then why were you nodding?" Meng Yiran cried in frustration. "I don't care! If I can't absorb this Man Faced Demon Spider, then don't even think about taking advantage of it!"
The dagger fell from her hand as her Serpent Head Crutch martial soul condensed.
Second Soul Skill: Serpent Body!
Sliiide—
Meng Yiran's body became incomparably slippery, slipping free of Zhuge Lan's grasp.
She transformed into a slithering serpent, winding around Zhuge Lan for half a circle before gripping her Serpent Head Crutch and thrusting it straight at the Man Faced Demon Spider.
That unusual sensation made Zhuge Lan shudder.
Brothers, this was a bonus round!
—This girl's fighting style was even more outrageous than Xiao Wu's!
But—
Black light flared from Zhuge Lan's torso and shot into Meng Yiran's body.
Pfft—
The Serpent Head Crutch struck the Man Faced Demon Spider's eyeball, yet failed to pierce through.
Instead, it seemed to inject a trace of vitality into the dying Man Faced Demon Spider.
It wriggled, trying to escape.
"Don't even think about running!"
Meng Yiran activated her First Soul Skill, sending phantom Serpent Head Crutches flying out one after another.
Like flying swords, they struck at the Man Faced Demon Spider's wounds.
What should have been a killing blow
only made the Man Faced Demon Spider wriggle even faster. Small bony knots even began growing from its severed legs.
Meng Yiran was dumbfounded.
What was going on?!
