My Soul Skills Made Tang San Cry

Tang San was feeling uncertain.

He instinctively glanced at Zhuge Lan.

—After all, wasn't that god also a twin martial soul user?

And Zhuge Lan himself was a twin martial soul user as well.

Surely there had to be a solution, right?

This caused Yu Xiaogang, who had been feeling confident, to sense something unsettling.

"Oh? You only think of me when you're in trouble?" Zhuge Lan teased.

[Emotion Points +9999]

Tang San forced a bitter smile.

Softly, he pleaded, "Zhuge, help me this time, and I'll remember your kindness."

"No need," Zhuge Lan replied, waving him off. "You already remembered once before. Remembering twice doesn't make it any better."

[Emotion Points +11111]

Tang San felt a bit annoyed inside—why wouldn't this guy take the bait?

He realized he'd have to give something up.

He pulled out a Zhuge Crossbow, intending to show it off.

But then he thought,

Zhuge Lan's soul tool was strong enough to counter the martial soul fusion of the renowned Dragon Serpent Duo.

What would a small Zhuge Crossbow do to impress him?

After some careful thought,

He realized Zhuge Lan's martial arts were superior, his agility was quicker.

Only his Crane-Capturing Dragon and Purple Demon Eyes might impress Zhuge Lan.

But…

These were secrets of the Tang Sect, even Xiao Wu had been tactfully denied access under the pretext of needing further refinement.

Would he just hand them over to Zhuge Lan?

No way!

'Damn it!'

'Why won't he just help me first and let me pay him back later?'

'Can't he see the bigger picture?'

[Emotion Points +15151]

Seeing Tang San hesitate and take no further action,

Zhuge Lan was puzzled.

What's with him?

Striking a pose?

"Zhuge, I'm sorry," Tang San forced a smile, "I don't have anything tempting to offer at the moment…Could I owe you?"

Wow!

He really was trying to get it for free.

Well… maybe.

He could always take it out on him emotionally.

"Stop worrying about it," Zhuge Lan replied indifferently.

"It's not like I'm interested in your little trinkets."

"Let's make it simple."

"Honor the bet you lost back at the Rose Hotel and just call me 'Brother Lan' from now on."

"A big brother helping his little brother is only natural."

It seemed harmless on the surface.

But it was a trap!

—Once Tang San acknowledged him as his elder brother, wouldn't he be at Zhuge Lan's mercy?

[Emotion Points +6666]

Tang San's eyes lit up!

If all he had to do was honor the bet he'd already lost, Zhuge Lan would help him out.

It would also bring them closer, giving him a chance to join Zhuge Lan's family.

Wasn't that a win-win?

As for calling him 'big brother'—there was some loss of face involved, but so what?

Once he became a god and surpassed Zhuge Lan, it'd be easy to change that later.

"Sure thing, Brother Lan!" Tang San said with a sugary tone, "What's the solution to the twin martial soul issue?"

Yu Xiaogang felt tense.

This little brat couldn't possibly know, right?

"It's actually quite simple," Zhuge Lan replied casually.

"In the past, some idiots died abruptly because they tried cultivating two martial souls at once without any preparation."

"Their bodies couldn't handle the power increase from spirit rings and got torn apart."

"You should first focus on the Blue Silver Grass. Don't add any spirit rings to your other martial soul. That'll solve it."

"Additionally, strong spiritual power is crucial. Keep honing that purple-eye ability of yours."

[Emotion Points +9999]

"…Brother Lan… that's not an 'eye disease.' It's called the Purple Demon Eyes!" Tang San muttered.

"Oh."

[Emotion Points +11111]

Such blatant disrespect!

But…

Tang San had to endure it.

[Emotion Points +15555]

A grin crept onto Zhuge Lan's face.

Now that he had Tang San as his little brother, there'd be plenty of fun ahead!

"You're lying!" Yu Xiaogang interjected with a hint of relief.

"Flender told me both your martial souls have three spirit rings each!"

"And one of them is even a ten-year white spirit ring!"

"That's totally different from what you're saying!"

Huh?

Tang San looked at Zhuge Lan. It seemed true?

Without hesitation, Zhuge Lan slapped the back of Tang San's head.

Tang San instinctively dodged, but Zhuge Lan used the Spiral Nine Shadows technique to ensure the slap connected.

Slap!

A crisp sound echoed.

[Emotion Points +11111]

Tang San, clutching his head, glared at Zhuge Lan in confusion.

What the heck?

"Oscar," Zhuge Lan turned to him, "what do you think?"

"I don't know," Oscar replied honestly, "but Brother Lan, you're not like ordinary people. You must have a special method."

Zhuge Lan nodded approvingly, casting a sideways glance at Tang San.

"Did you hear that?"

"A good little brother should trust his big brother unconditionally."

"And you're doubting me?"

Tang San: (ー_ー)ノ

Holding back his anger, he stayed silent.

I'll keep enduring it!

[Emotion Points +12121]

After disciplining Tang San, Zhuge Lan turned his attention to Yu Xiaogang, who took a half step back in fright.

[Emotion Points +9999]

But then, realizing he'd shown weakness, Yu Xiaogang stepped forward again.

"So, what's this 'special method' of yours?" Yu Xiaogang challenged.

A setup? Zhuge Lan would certainly take it!

He immediately revealed his soul bones.

External Soul Bone: Sage's Eye!

External Soul Bone: Devil's Eye!

Soul Bone of Reversal and Causality (Torso)!

Sacred Star-Gaze (Left Arm)!

Transparent Gargoyle's Head Soul Bone!

The radiant display was so dazzling Yu Xiaogang and others couldn't bear to look directly.

[Emotion Points +11111]

[Emotion Points +9999]

[Emotion Points +5555]

[Emotion Points +6666]

Yu Xiaogang, catching on, blurted out, "Soul bones?"

"You're using high-year soul bones to enhance your body and spiritual strength, allowing both martial souls to progress?"

"Now I understand!"

But then, another realization hit Yu Xiaogang.

"But why go through all that?"

"If you start with one martial soul, the second martial soul can have all its spirit rings start at ten thousand years."

"Isn't what you're doing depleting your potential?"

Zhuge Lan let out a mocking chuckle, saying nothing.

—As if he'd tell him his spirit rings could be upgraded.

[Emotion Points +44444]

Yu Xiaogang's fragile ego took a heavy hit!

What?

Does this mean I'm not even worth a direct answer now?

Meanwhile…

Flender was the most shocked of all!

"Yu!!!"

"Xiao!!!"

"Gang!!!"
