Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Frustrated Tang San! This Match is Just for Benefits!
Facing Zhuge Lan's close-range attack.
Tang San not only couldn't argue, but he had to thank him.
"Thank you for the trouble."
It felt very frustrating.
But for Xiao Wu, he endured it!

Zhuge Lan nodded in satisfaction.
The emotional tension was maxed out.
Though this brat was somewhat lacking in character, he held grudges very well!
—Perfectly matching Zhuge Lan's needs.
Tang San didn't immediately kill the Man-Faced Demon Spider; instead, he sat down cross-legged to restore his state.
Earlier, he was completely drained—utterly exhausted.
"It's ahead!"
"Hurry!"
"Catch up!"
They hadn't arrived, but their voices did.
Tang San opened his eyes and looked.
Only to get a slap on the back of his head from Zhuge Lan.
Slap—
It rang out, crisp and clear.
Emotion Points +11111
Tang San held his head, looking at Zhuge Lan.
"Dare to glare at me?" Zhuge Lan took the lead, scolding him, "Aren't you looking for your little Xiao Wu? Seriously focus on recovering; leave the rest to me."
Tang San: "..."

What else could he say?
Closing his eyes, he adjusted himself.
Three unexpected guests appeared in the forest.
Fixed NPCs of the Star Dou Great Forest—Chao Tianxiang, Meng Yiran, and the tall, slim Dragon Duke, Meng Shu!
He held a dragon-headed cane nearly four meters long, with several spirit rings moving rhythmically at his feet.
Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black!
Eight-ringed Soul Douluo!
Not the ideal combination, but still eight rings!
Not to mention, Dragon Duke and Serpent Grandma had a martial fusion skill.
Zhuge Lan opened the exchange list and began choosing a soul tool.
Meng Yiran and Chao Tianxiang were startled upon seeing the two of them.
They then looked at the spherical Man-Faced Demon Spider not far away, relieved to see no spirit ring floating from it.
Just in time.
"Grandpa!" Meng Yiran complained, "This guy snatched my Phoenix-Tailed Cockscomb Snake, and now he's here to kill the Man-Faced Demon Spider, too?!"
Meng Shu, hearing this, struck the ground with his dragon-headed cane.
The full power of a Soul Douluo's aura unleashed, pressing down like a mountain.
Spurt—
Tang San, peacefully adjusting himself, was forced to spit blood.
—Didn't you say you had everything covered?

A series of high Emotion Points floated up.
Because facing Meng Shu's oppressive aura, Zhuge Lan, a mere Soul Elder, still looked calm and unruffled.
In stark contrast to Tang San, who was coughing up blood.
—Aura pressure is nothing more than mental and soul power attacks.
Too bad.
His million-year spirit ring strengthened his physique, and his million-year external spirit bone strengthened his mind.
A mere Soul Douluo.
Even a Titled Douluo wouldn't be enough; he'd need at least a half-god.
Zhuge Lan cast a Holy Light Blessing, healing Tang San slightly.
"Ah~~~"
Emotion Points +5555
Then he yawned, speaking lazily—
"Don't bother; I couldn't feel even the aura of a Peerless Douluo. You're nowhere near that level."

Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang exchanged glances, understanding each other's thoughts.
—This kid must have a powerful background!
Should they eliminate him?
Or make friends?
As they exchanged looks—
Zhuge Lan appreciated Meng Yiran.
She had changed into a dark green outfit, looking spirited and highlighting her figure.
His gaze was straightforward.
But Meng Yiran's pretty face still flushed red.
"What are you staring at?"
"Never seen a beauty before?"
"Grandpa!"
"This guy stole two of my spirit beasts; aren't you going to say something?"
Meng Shu, interrupted in his deliberations, frowned.
This matter...
was difficult to handle.
"Young friend," Chao Tianxiang spoke up, "we've been pursuing that Man-Faced Demon Spider all night..."
"I know," Zhuge Lan replied plainly, "It has injuries similar to those of the Phoenix-Tailed Cockscomb Snake; I can let you have it."

Zhuge Lan glanced back at Tang San.
What's with the big reaction?
Don't panic; just watch my play.
"Young friend, are you being sincere?" Chao Tianxiang confirmed. "If you're willing to part with it, I would offer some compensation in return."
Zhuge Lan waved his hand.
"That Man-Faced Demon Spider is 2,003 years old."
"Your granddaughter neither has a beast martial spirit, nor any suitable technique, nor enhanced physical strength."
"If she truly dares to absorb it, I'd be impressed."

Chao Tianxiang examined the Man-Faced Demon Spider with a grim expression and came back with a troubled face.
She sighed, "The exact age is hard to determine, but it's definitely just over 2,000 years... Yiran can't absorb it."
If it were 1,800 years, they could try it, though it would be risky.
But over 2,000 years...
Absolutely impossible!
No wonder the young man in front of them was so generous.
But still...
"Hey, hey, hey!" Zhuge Lan called out, "What are you doing with that novice dagger, miss?"
Meng Yiran didn't just ignore him; she even sped up.
Heading for the Man-Faced Demon Spider's eye with a quick lunge!
Swish—
Zhuge Lan used the Spiral Nine Shadows technique, easily appearing at Meng Yiran's side, and caught her wrist effortlessly.

Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang were shocked!
How was he this fast?
"Did you see it clearly?" Chao Tianxiang whispered. "I only saw a shadow move past."
"I saw it," Meng Shu replied strangely, "but I couldn't keep up."
This kid... really this outrageous?
The figure behind this boy—truly terrifying!
"Let go of me!"
Meng Yiran shrieked—
"Even if I can't absorb the Man-Faced Demon Spider, it's an evil spirit beast that deserves to be killed by everyone!"
Well!
Her sense of duty was quite high.
Meng Yiran kicked, but Zhuge Lan easily caught her foot.
Smiling, he said, "Don't worry, it won't be wasted; my teammate just reached level 30 and can absorb this spirit ring."
Emotion Points +9999
"Who are you kidding?" Meng Yiran fumed, "If I can't absorb it, why could that ugly boy?"
Zhuge Lan nodded in agreement.
"Just because you can't absorb it doesn't mean others can't. Ask your grandma if you're not convinced."
Emotion Points +1111
"What are you nodding for?" Meng Yiran, exasperated, shouted, "I don't care! If I can't use the Man-Faced Demon Spider, you won't get to either!"
She dropped her dagger and summoned her serpent martial spirit, condensing her snake-headed cane.
Second Spirit Skill: Serpent Form!
Whoosh—
Meng Yiran's body became slick, slipping out of Zhuge Lan's grip.
She herself turned into a snake, circling around Zhuge Lan and aiming her snake-headed cane directly at the Man-Faced Demon Spider.
That unique touch made Zhuge Lan shiver.
Guys, this is a welfare round!
—This girl's fighting style is even crazier than Xiao Wu's!
But—
Zhuge Lan's torso lit up with a black glow, injecting energy into Meng Yiran's body.
Spurt—
Her snake-headed cane hit the Man-Faced Demon Spider's eye but didn't pierce through.
Instead, the weakened Man-Faced Demon Spider gained a bit of vitality.
It started squirming, attempting to escape.
"Don't even think about running!"
Meng Yiran activated her first spirit skill, sending shadowy snake-headed canes flying toward the Man-Faced Demon Spider's wounds.
What she thought would be a fatal blow—
Made the Man-Faced Demon Spider wriggle faster, even growing tiny bone spurs on its severed leg.
Meng Yiran was stunned.
What was going on?!
