Little Wretch Sliced in Half! The Ruthless God of Emotion! Going Premium, Please Show Some Love, Quack~

"Nine Color Goddess": Hey! You're going against me, huh?

"God of Speed": What's so fun about everyone betting on the same side?

"Nine Color Goddess": Mm. Fine.

"God of Emotion": A complete set of Soul Tool knowledge, plus every kind of Soul Tool. I'm betting he'll drop one!

"God King of Destruction 002": Then I'll join in too. Two drops of Life Ancient Tree Sap. I'm betting he'll drop one, while Life bets he won't. Is that okay, streamer?

Sure, sure!

That was more than okay!

Betting on both sides made it seem like a guaranteed win.

But First Hong was also guaranteed to get a drop of Life Ancient Tree Sap!

It was equivalent to tipping him a drop of Life Ancient Tree Sap to have him do something.

Without this bet, would They have tipped him for no reason?

He really was born to livestream!

Right!

Where was God King of Destruction 001?

Why was there no movement from him?

First Hong opened the viewer list. He was there.

Such an interesting event, yet he wasn't joining in?

What a miser.

His gaze swept over God of Phoenix.

That guy had been muted. He had to be feeling awful, right?

Unmuting him was out of the question.

After all, Nine Color Goddess had paid for it. She deserved the full service.

But...

If God of Phoenix wants to participate, you can attach a message to your gift.

The next instant.

User "God of Phoenix" sent a gift: "God-Given Spirit Ring" ×1

Message: This has been suffocating me to death!

."God-Given Spirit Ring" ×1

Message: Rongrong, I was wrong. Please unmute me!

."God-Given Spirit Ring" ×1

Message: Streamer, I'll bet a Divine Skill that he'll drop one too!

Oh, nice!

He had freeloaded three more God-Given Spirit Rings.

And then—

"Nine Color Goddess": Can't you chat like this anyway?

User "God of Phoenix" sent a gift: "God-Given Spirit Ring" ×1

Message: God-Given Spirit Rings need divine power to condense. They're expensive.

."God-Given Spirit Ring" ×1

Message: This thing has a limit of fifteen characters? Punctuation—

."God-Given Spirit Ring" ×1

Message: Punctuation counts too? Ah! I'm so mad!

."God-Given Spirit Ring" ×1

Message: Rongrong, I was wrong! Let me out!

"Nine Color Goddess": Hehe!

God of Phoenix went quiet.

Presumably, he was not hehe-ing.

After confirming once more that God King of Destruction 001 would not place a bet, First Hong withdrew his attention and prepared to open the round!

Honestly.

He was rather curious whether Tang San would drop a soul bone.

If one dropped, would he be missing a bone after being revived?

And if he absorbed his own soul bone, what would happen?

It was quite interesting.

Should he set up another betting pool too?

Mm.

That would look far too greedy and hurt his favorability.

Forget it.

First Hong summoned his martial soul, the Destruction Scepter, and his third spirit ring lit up.

"Tang San, since you rejected me, you must bear the consequences."

Tang San snapped back to his senses, his expression changing drastically!

What consequences?

Kill the beast and make it drop a ring!

"No! I—"

Trying to regret it now?

Too bad. Too late.

Die once first!

Destruction Lightning condensed at the tip of the Destruction Scepter. With a swing, it transformed into a black half-moon slash that streaked across Tang San like lightning.

Third Soul Skill - Thunder Half Moon Slash!

It physically cut off his words.

A terrifying, savage scar extended from his head to his crotch as he split into "two halves" and toppled in opposite directions. The cross-sections were charred black, without a single drop of blood.

Instant kill!

First Hong had acted too fast and too decisively.

No one present had even reacted. Only when a purple spirit ring floated up did they come back to their senses.

He had just...

Killed him?

"Little San!!!" Xiao Wu shrieked hoarsely. "No! Don't! Little San, you can't die!"

She grabbed the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, intending to use it to "revive the dead."

But Tang San had been cut into two halves. How was she supposed to feed it to him?

"Don't waste your effort." First Hong teased, "The Lovesick Heartbreak Red recognizes you as its master. Only you can consume it."

Xiao Wu suddenly raised her head, glaring at First Hong with bloodshot eyes.

"It was you!"

"You killed Little San!"

"I will definitely—"

"I advise you to think before you speak." First Hong shot her a sidelong glance. "Otherwise, I wouldn't mind giving you one too."

The undisguised killing intent instantly sobered Xiao Wu up.

Tang San, born from a 100,000-Year Spirit Beast, had already caught First Hong's eye.

And she was a living 100,000-Year Spirit Beast...

But she was unwilling to accept it!

Was she supposed to swallow her anger just because she feared death?

As she hesitated.

First Hong had already crouched beside the other half, suppressing his nausea as he inspected Tang San's two halves.

His vision synchronized with the Livestream Room.

"God King of Destruction 002": Huh? There really is a soul bone? It's in the Right Leg Bone.

User "God King of Destruction 002" sent a gift: "Life Ancient Tree Sap" ×1

"Nine Color Goddess": Hey! How did one actually drop?

User "Nine Color Goddess" sent a gift: "Nine Color Divine Sense" ×100

"God of Speed": Woohoo! I won!

User "God of Phoenix" sent a gift: "God-Given Spirit Ring" ×1

Message: I won! My request is for the streamer to unmute me!

First Hong smiled blissfully.

What a huge profit.

He noticed God of Phoenix's message.

Nine Color Goddess, God of Phoenix won the bet, so I have to unmute him, okay?

"Nine Color Goddess": How annoying! If I had won too, I would've told the streamer not to unmute him!

That was practically an acknowledgment.

So First Hong removed the mute, and God of Phoenix immediately flooded the chat.

Mostly with complaints.

First Hong ignored him.

He used the Destruction Scepter to poke at the charred flesh on Tang San's right leg, revealing a small section of blue-silver bone.

It was only one-fifth the size of a normal leg bone, and its luster was extremely dim.

If it were not nearly evening, it might have been impossible to see clearly.

"So a soul bone really can drop." First Hong clicked his tongue in wonder. "But it's only thousand-year quality. It seems the offspring of a 100,000-Year Spirit Beast only become valuable once their cultivation rises."

His appraising manner silenced everyone present.

Even Ning Rongrong, who called herself a "little witch," had fear in her eyes.

Killing classmates at the drop of a hat...

This was a true demon king!

Zhu Zhuqing, who had only just bound herself to First Hong, frowned slightly as well.

She thought of her family, then of the Royal Family.

The same disregard for human lives, the same lofty superiority.

First Hong also noticed everyone's reactions. It seemed he had gone a little too far.

He should quickly use a Divine Skill to revive Tang San before things got out of hand.

He had just extracted one hundred strands of Nine Color Divine Sense.

"God of Emotion": Streamer, I'll still give you my bet. Make Tang San absorb this thousand-year soul bone!

Oh?

This was meant to cripple Tang San.

Everyone knew that.

Soul bones generally could not be replaced at will.

Once he absorbed this thousand-year soul bone, even if it came from Tang San himself and its Soul Bone Skill suited him perfectly—

It was ultimately not an External Soul Bone and could not evolve on its own.

Its potential was limited, and it would take up a slot for nothing.

Later on, Tang San would naturally be at a disadvantage compared to others.

Whether he would even have a later stage was another question.

But.

What did any of that have to do with First Hong?

No problem. Deal!
