My Soul Skills Made Tang San Cry

"Everyone knows my situation."

Flender stated bluntly:

"The one I love in this life will never love me back."

"And most of you have similar reasons."

"So, this inch of flesh might as well be sacrificed for power."

"Then we can make a ton of money!"

"And when it's time to retire, we'll go find Zhuge Lan to restore it."

"What do you all think?"

His words left the other four stunned!

Wait, what?

"You're seriously going that far?" Zhao Wuji asked, dumbfounded. "Even if you can restore it, who knows if it'll work the same!"

"Yeah!" Lu Qibin hesitated, "What if it leaves a shadow? Wouldn't it be a waste if it never comes back?"

Just picturing it made Li Yusong shudder.

Even Zhao Wuji clamped his legs in fear.

Only Flender laughed it off.

"So what?"

"The five of us old fools gathered because of our own reasons, coming together for warmth and safety, and we founded Shrek."

"Didn't we all have ambitious dreams of achieving something great?"

The others fell silent.

True.

Back then, their goals were grand.

"Take you, Old Zhao." Flender pointed out, "You were chased by the Spirit Hall like a stray dog. Don't you want to get revenge?"

Zhao Wuji clenched his fist!

Did he want to?

Absolutely!

"And Old Li, aren't you going to avenge your grudges?"

Li Yusong's eyes turned cold, emanating a murderous aura.

"Old Shao, as a rare food-type Spirit Saint of this generation, don't you want to advance further and pave the way for Xiao Ao?"

Shao Xin looked tempted.

"Old Lu, hmm..."

Lu Qibin crossed his arms confidently.

He had no deep grudges nor great ambitions.

He came to Shrek for an easy life.

How would you convince me?

"All the brothers are doing it, and you're not joining?" Flender questioned. "Are you trying to stand out? Are you ditching the brotherhood?"

Lu Qibin: (灬)

Can he really talk like this?

"Bang!"

Zhao Wuji slammed the table and gritted his teeth:

"Damn it, I'm in!"

"If Zhuge says this can get me to a Title Douluo, I'll take the risk!"

"When that time comes, I want everyone with me to take down that Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall!"

"No problem," Li Yusong replied coldly. "When it's my time for revenge, you all better be there too."

"Sigh." Shao Xin sighed. "Flender, I truly regret knowing you!"

Flender laughed as he put an arm around Shao Xin, looking at Lu Qibin.

What about you? Only you're left.

Lu Qibin: ( )

"Flender!!!"

"You're the worst!!!"

Inside the room.

Flender's hearty laughter echoed.

Having brothers by his side felt great!

No, wait!

From now on...

We're calling each other "sisters"!

The next morning.

At Zhuge Lan's dormitory, a man and two women emerged, neatly dressed.

Zhu Zhuqing naturally held onto Zhuge Lan's arm, asking questions about the Spiral Nine Shadows technique.

Ning Rongrong followed along, looking somewhat dazed.

Last night's training...

It was exhilarating!!!

Indeed, they could train together as three, and she even felt something akin to a "Spirit Power Fusion Technique."

This was just the lowest level of "clothed training," but it already surpassed her previous training environment.

The experience of sensing her progress captivated her, especially as an auxiliary spirit master who faced difficult training.

She didn't want to stop...

She even wanted to go further!

But...

Why would the Taiji Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Method have such an accelerated approach?

She didn't understand it.

But she wanted to try!

Yet...

Looking at the two in front of her being so close, Ning Rongrong fell silent.

Her personality had improved, but she was still the proud little princess of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan.

If Zhuge Lan were single, she could accept it.

But Zhu Zhuqing was already ahead...

Even if Zhu Zhuqing had brought her into this "arrangement."

It still felt odd...

Besides!

She was the later arrival; wouldn't that make her second?!

As the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan's young mistress, being second to someone?

If word got out, her clan's face would be ruined!

'Honestly, I could accept it.'

'After all, Zhuge Lan is that exceptional.'

'But... Father would never agree.'

'Maybe...'

'Dad should just have another heir?'

With these thoughts, they'd finished breakfast and arrived at the training ground.

Tang San, looking pale, and Xiao Wu, a bit uncomfortable, approached Zhuge Lan.

"Thank you, Brother Lan, for your warning last night; otherwise, I would've been in deep trouble," Tang San said sincerely. "In the future, if you need anything, just let me know."

Though he said it...

[Emotional Points +44,444]

The number said it all.

—You're dead to me!

"Yeah, Brother Lan," Xiao Wu forced a smile. "If you need anything, just ask!"

This one didn't trigger an emotional point—well, not a significant one, as anything under ten thousand was filtered out.

It wasn't entirely sincere, but it was genuine enough.

So, Zhuge Lan simply nodded.

"Little San, if you don't want to train in the Sunflower Manual, I can help you regrow."

[Emotional Points +44,444]

Tang San's cheek twitched.

Silence.

If he relied on the Mysterious Heaven Technique to repair his damaged meridians, it would take months.

But the Sunflower Manual allowed him to walk freely in just one night.

Full recovery would take no more than half a month.

Not only that, but he had gained internal power beyond what he could achieve with the Mysterious Heaven Technique alone...

After such benefits, he couldn't give it up.

Besides...

"Thank you, Brother Lan, for your offer. I'll train with it for a while, and if I need it, I'll ask."

Listen!

"Brother!"

Well done, Little San, switching up so quickly.

If anything, it showed he was practical.

"True."

"Since it's already cut, it'd be a waste not to make use of it."

"Right, Little San?"

Tang San's face froze!

[Emotional Points +99,999]

"Pfft—"

Ning Rongrong couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The laughter was infectious, and soon, everyone else was smiling as well.

Tang San: (▼ヘ▼#)

He had to tolerate it because he needed something.

So he endured it!

[Emotional Points +110,000]

Seeing Tang San frustrated, Zhuge Lan was quite pleased.

Noticing Oscar and Ma Hongjun laughing as well, he quickly shot them down:

"What are you two laughing at? Have you decided whether you'll train with the Sunflower Manual?"

Oscar: (￣ー￣)

Ma Hongjun: (￣∠￣)

Uh...

They laughed too soon.

It seemed they were the fools here.

Oscar and Ma Hongjun hesitated, clearly uncertain about whether they'd "cut" or not.

They looked to their foster father and teacher for guidance.

Only to see Flender wasn't laughing along, instead lifting his glasses with a peculiar gesture.

Wait!

When did he pick up that habit?!

Hold on!

"Principal," Oscar asked, his tone curious, "your aura seems a bit stronger than usual today?"

Flender's eyelid twitched.

[Emotional Points +11,111]

Already noticed?

He looked slightly uncomfortable but admitted openly:

"Out of responsibility for our students, the teachers at Shrek Academy trained in the Sunflower Manual last night."

"It worked well; I broke through the level 78 bottleneck I'd been stuck at for years."

"The other teachers also broke through their limits."

"This Sunflower Manual... truly useful."

He muttered something under his breath.

The voice was low, and no one else heard it clearly.

But Zhuge Lan, with his Spirit Detection, heard it loud and clear.

Now it all made sense.

No wonder his points had shot from 600,000 to over a million overnight.
