My Soul Skills Made Tang San Cry

Flander muttered, "Just feels a bit odd being empty down there."

Zhuge Lan was taken aback by this comment.

No wonder!

No wonder his mood had improved so much this morning.

Turns out Flander and the other five had taken action last night and made the cut. Pretty decisive!

To be fair, for older men, the allure of the Sunflower Manual is even more tempting.

After all, they've already experienced everything, so they understand the importance of power better. It's easier for them to make a sacrifice.

But, of course, Oscar and the others hadn't thought about it that way.

"What?!" Ma Hongjun exclaimed. "All of you old guys did it? How did you bring yourselves to—"

Bang!

Flander smacked Ma Hongjun, shutting down his complaint.

It took a lot of courage to make this decision.

Why was he whining about it?

Oscar, being smarter, changed the subject instead:

"So, is the Sunflower Manual really that effective? It actually helped all the teachers break through?"

Flander smiled, pleased.

His son was more sensible than his disciple, focusing on the "important" part.

"The Sunflower Manual has one advantage: speed!"

"It speeds up training, recovery, and breaking through bottlenecks!"

"For us old guys, we've been stuck for a long time. No amount of meditation helped."

"But as soon as we started practicing the Sunflower Manual, it was like Zhao Wuji having an upset stomach — everything just flowed."

"We broke through with almost no obstacles."

"I even predict I'll reach level 80 within two months!"

Huh?

What?

Seriously?

The group was left with question marks floating above their heads.

One month?

From level 79 straight to 80?

Are you kidding?

"For an average Spirit Master, wouldn't going from level 79 to 80 take years?" Tang San murmured.

"Wrong!" Ning Rongrong corrected. "Ordinary Spirit Masters can't break through to level 80 at all. It takes highly gifted Spirit Masters, with top-notch training support, at least five years to make that jump."

As the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's little princess, her words carried weight.

So...

"Hiss—"

"Hiss—"

"Hiss—"

Zhuge Lan even felt like the air around him was thinning.

"This is what surprises you?"

Zhuge Lan scoffed—

"The Sunflower Manual may be fast, but the spirit power it gathers is far too loose."

"It's several times worse than my Yin-Yang power."

"Way less efficient."

"Trash."

Everyone: (●—●●)●)

[Emotion Points +66666]

[Emotion Points +99999]

So he's a master of humblebragging, huh?

Flander coughed, pretending not to hear, and turned to Tang San.

"Tang San."

"How long do you think it'll take to reach level 32 by practicing the Sunflower Manual?"

Oscar and Ma Hongjun perked up, listening intently.

Tang San had just gained his third spirit ring, reaching level 31.

His progress was a good benchmark.

At the mention, Tang San couldn't help but grin.

"Just... one month!"

Oscar and Ma Hongjun's eyes lit up!

They each grabbed Tang San, one on each side.

"Tang San, are you sure you didn't miscalculate?" Ma Hongjun asked eagerly. "It really only takes a month?"

"Tang San, don't mess with us!" Oscar added nervously.

Tang San nodded to confirm—what did they think? He wouldn't have kept his manhood otherwise.

Getting that answer, Oscar and Ma Hongjun were tempted!

One level in one month!

What a godly pace?!

Even with twin martial souls and Xiao Wu's beast-like power, which represent the pinnacle of human and spirit beast talent, it still took them six years to advance by 17 levels, even with the boost of two spirit rings.

An average of three levels a year, or one level every four months.

That was already lightning speed.

But with the Sunflower Manual, no external aid needed, they could advance a level a month?

At this rate…

Would it really take 10 years to reach Titled Douluo status?

[Emotion Points +99999]

[Emotion Points +110000]

Ma Hongjun and Oscar exchanged glances.

They could see the temptation in each other's eyes!

Ten years!

Only ten years without certain things, and they'd be Titled Douluos!

Though in real training it probably wouldn't be quite that fast, even if it took twice as long, they'd still be only in their early thirties by then.

Still young.

It almost seemed...

It might be worth it?

The only problem was…

They looked at Zhuge Lan.

Zhuge Lan guessed their thoughts.

"I'm not like those old guys who plan to die in the clan."

"I'll definitely be wandering around. With my knack for causing trouble, finding me shouldn't be too hard."

"Though," he added, "I'll probably have plenty of enemies by then, so you'll need guts to come find me."

—Just setting up a little forewarning.

When it's time to reconnect, they'd better be prepared to wait a bit, until they're bubbling with frustration. That'd generate tons of Emotion Points!

Heh!

What a genius he was!

[Emotion Points +151515]

[Emotion Points +151515]

Oscar and Ma Hongjun breathed heavily, glancing back and forth.

They were one foot over the line, ready to make the cut.

The allure was just too strong!

With such rapid advancement, losing a little flesh—a temporary sacrifice, since they could restore it later—seemed like a small price to pay.

Who could resist this?

Zhuge Lan pushed with a sly smile—

"Fatty, haven't you always struggled with your evil fire?"

"Once it's cut off, and you practice the Sunflower Manual, it'll all be smooth sailing."

[Emotion Points +111111]

Ma Hongjun fell to his knees, clutching Zhuge Lan's leg.

Zhuge Lan kicked him away.

"Stay back! All that fat's getting on me!"

He didn't hide his disdain, but Ma Hongjun didn't mind in the slightest.

"Brother Lan! My dear Brother Lan!" Ma Hongjun asked again for confirmation. "Are you sure this will solve my evil fire problem?"

"Of course! Why would I suggest it if I wasn't certain?" Zhuge Lan grumbled. "If you don't believe it, go try it. If it fails, I'll help you get it back."

—The system had certified it; no doubt about it.

[Emotion Points +190000]

Ma Hongjun was nearly in tears!

Was his problem finally resolved?

Was it his fault he indulged in certain things? His fault he overate?

His fault he spent nights out?

Well…

Yeah, actually it was.

But that evil fire was too much; it was unbearable.

Every time he let loose...

He either overate or collapsed from exhaustion.

Who could train like that?

Ma Hongjun was sure—without that evil fire weighing him down, he'd live a whole new life!

[Emotion Points +233333]

And so.

Without a second thought, he approached Flander.

"Dean, I want to learn the Sunflower Manual too!"

"Can you help me get started?"

Subtext: I can't bring myself to do it; can you help with the cut?

Flander flashed a confident smile.

Last night, aside from his own, he'd taken care of everyone else's.

He was experienced.

And with one line, he stunned the entire group.

He said:
