Spirit Hall's Chaos! Tang San? A True Genius

As he spoke, Chen Fan slipped his hand into the woman's robes and felt around for a moment before quickly finding a token with a smooth, warm texture.

The token felt slightly cool in his hand, its surface carved with intricate veins.

As he pulled out the token, his fingertips inadvertently brushed against the woman's soft chest.

Her skin was silky and warm, astonishingly delicate to the touch.

Chen Fan froze.

Perhaps because of her age... this unconscious woman did have a slightly better figure than Na'er.

But at that very moment.

A chill rose from behind him without warning.

Chen Fan abruptly looked up, and a pretty face close at hand filled his vision.

At some point, Na'er had moved right in front of him. Her Purple Eyes, which should have been clear as water, were now vacant and lifeless, like two bottomless whirlpools.

Chen Fan's heart skipped a beat.

He suddenly realized...

Something was wrong!

It seemed he had just reached into the Golden Haired Woman's robes and taken out a token!

The next second.

Na'er reached out a hand of her own, seemingly intending to take the woman from him.

"It's okay, Chen Fan."

"My Soul Power is higher than yours now. It must be too tiring for you to carry her."

Chen Fan paused, but he did not object.

Mainly because...

For some reason, he felt that if he objected, something slightly unpleasant might happen...

Besides, he had only held this woman from Spirit Hall because he had been afraid she would fall in the heat of the moment. Continuing to hold her like this was indeed inappropriate between a man and a woman.

He let go.

Almost the instant he released her, a sweet smile bloomed across Na'er's face. The emptiness in her eyes vanished without a trace, and their sparkle returned.

She naturally took Qian Renxue from him, then seamlessly resumed their earlier topic.

"It's fine. We can continue exploring deeper inside. I'm confident I can ignore the power of whoever is releasing that Spiritual Power."

Seeing Na'er's sweet smile, the strange feeling in Chen Fan's heart faded away as well.

Of course, he had no idea what thoughts were churning in Na'er's heart at that moment.

Chen Fan said this Golden Haired Woman's Soul Power Level was very high.

Stronger than me???

How could he praise someone else?

Could it be... Chen Fan liked this woman??

No!

Absolutely not!!!

Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it...

A faint, imperceptible glimmer flashed through the depths of Na'er's Purple Eyes.

That was why, as if possessed, she had spoken up and volunteered to resist the mysterious being's Spiritual Power.

That's right!

Exactly!

I'm stronger than this woman!

I'm better than her!

I don't know where that Spiritual Power came from, but it feels familiar!

It definitely can't hurt me!!

Right, this is the difference between us!!

Chen Fan was merely confused!

Soon, he'll understand!

Who is better!

Gu Yuena let out a chuckle, finally feeling much better.

If Chen Fan could hear those thoughts, he would probably be full of question marks.

What did I praise her for?

I was just objectively stating the facts!

And I said she was... stronger than us!!

Not stronger than me!

Don't twist my words!

But Chen Fan merely scratched his head.

Na'er was in a good mood again??

That was a good thing!

Then there was no need to overthink it!

As long as she was happy!

The two decided to continue deeper into the forest.

However, Na'er was still rather small. Supporting the tall Golden Haired Woman was exceptionally difficult for her.

She half-dragged, half-pulled her along, causing the woman's long legs to scrape repeatedly across the grass. Her golden hair became stained with bits of dirt and grass, leaving her in a rather bedraggled state.

Rustling sounds followed them all the way.

The clothing around the Golden Haired Woman's legs was nearly torn apart.

Chen Fan truly could not bear to watch any longer.

"Na'er, why don't I carry her on my back instead?"

At those words, Na'er's dragging motion stopped.

She also realized that she seemed to have gone a little too far.

Her nature was not truly bad. Seeing the woman reduced to such a state by her, she felt a trace of sympathy.

After hesitating briefly, she nodded.

Chen Fan let out a breath of relief and stepped forward to hoist the woman onto his back.

The warmth of her skin seeped through their clothes. A faint fragrance lingered among her hair, and her soft body pressed tightly against his back.

So soft!

Chen Fan sighed inwardly.

This woman... really did have a great figure.

Still, for Na'er's sake, he could not entertain any improper thoughts.

Na'er was small and cute, too.

Thinking of that, he could not help softly saying, "Our Na'er is still the cutest."

The girl did not notice Chen Fan's little thoughts. She only heard the final compliment, and Na'er's eyes immediately curved into crescent moons.

"Mhm!"

Gu Yuena nodded, her hair fluttering in the wind.

"Chen Fan is the best!"

At the same time.

The Outer Area of the Star Dou Great Forest had already descended into chaos.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's earlier Spiritual Impact had not been a Lethal Move, and its force had been light. Many unconscious Spirit Hall Soul Masters had already awakened and were fleeing outward in panic.

"Quick, leave! Don't go any deeper!"

"There are terrifying Soul Beasts inside that can attack directly with Spiritual Power. Going in there is suicide!"

Snake Lance Douluo, meanwhile, wore a face as dark as iron as he frantically darted through the forest, searching for the Young Master's whereabouts.

Amid the commotion, a Spirit Hall member who had just fled from the forest suddenly saw three figures walking toward the depths of the woods.

Leading them was a middle-aged man with an air of theory about him. Beside him walked a half-grown child and a burly man.

They were Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and Nuoding Academy's headmaster, Ma Chengfeng, who had come to obtain Tang San's Second Soul Ring.

The Spirit Hall member's expression changed, and he hurriedly stepped forward to stop them.

"You three, don't go any farther in. Leave at once!"

Yu Xiaogang paused upon hearing this and looked at the still-shaken Spirit Hall member.

"We only came to help this child obtain his Second Soul Ring. We won't venture too deeply."

Hearing that it was only for a Second Soul Ring, the Spirit Hall member visibly relaxed.

"So that's the case. Then it's fine. You'll be safe as long as you stay active in the Outer Area."

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and added with lingering fear, "But if you want to go deeper to obtain some high-level Soul Ring, that would be far too dangerous!"

"Whatever you do, don't take the risk!"

After saying that, his gaze fell upon Tang San beside Yu Xiaogang.

A Second Soul Ring?

This child looked to be only around ten years old, didn't he?

He could not help asking, "Little brother, how old are you this year?"

Tang San remained silent.

Yu Xiaogang answered for him, with a hint of pride in his voice. "His name is Tang San. He's ten years old, and his Soul Power has just reached level twenty."

"Ten years old... level twenty?!"

The Spirit Hall member's eyes widened as he carefully examined Tang San, clicking his tongue in amazement.

"What a genius! A boundless future, a truly boundless future!"

He sincerely praised him a few more times before hurriedly taking his leave and continuing his escape out of the forest.

Once the man had gone far away, the corners of Yu Xiaogang's lips lifted slightly. He was clearly in a good mood.

He looked at Tang San and nodded.

"Xiao San, you heard him. Your talent truly is excellent."

"But the more that is so, the more diligently you must cultivate. Remain humble and guard against arrogance, understand?"
