Flender muttered, "It's just…empty down there, a bit of an adjustment."
This little whisper completely broke Zhuge Lan's composure.
No wonder!
His mood points had skyrocketed this morning.
Turns out, last night, Flender and the other four, they cut it off overnight.
Talk about decisive!
I have to say.
The Sunflower Manual's appeal to middle-aged and older people is even more lethal.
After all, they've played around enough and understand the importance of strength better.
It's easy for them to make a choice.
But Oscar and the others clearly hadn't thought that far ahead.
"What?!" Ma Hongjun exclaimed, "You old guys all cut it off? How could you bear to..."
"Bang!"
Flender delivered a blow to the head, silencing Ma Hongjun's complaints.
Making the decision to cut it off already took a lot of courage.
What's with all the barking?
Oscar was much smarter, diverting the conversation:
"Is the effect of the Sunflower Manual really that strong? It actually allowed all the teachers to break through?"
Flender smiled with satisfaction.
His son was still more sensible than his disciples, knowing what to focus on.
"The Sunflower Manual has only one advantage, and that's speed!"
"Fast cultivation speed, fast recovery speed, and fast breakthroughs!"
"We old geezers have been stuck at our bottlenecks for ages, making little progress even with constant meditation."
"But once you start the Sunflower Manual, it's like Zhao Wuji with the runs – pure, unadulterated bliss."
"Almost no resistance, and you break through your bottlenecks."
"And the path is clear. I estimate I can break through to level 80 within two months!"
Huh?
What?
What the heck?
A field of question marks rose on the scene.
One month?
Just breaking through to level 79, and then straight to level 80?
You've got to be kidding me?!
"For ordinary Soul Masters, it would take several years to go from level 79 to level 80, right?" Tang San murmured.
"Wrong!" Ning Rongrong corrected, "Ordinary Soul Masters can't break through to level 80 at all. Only Soul Masters with sufficient talent, with the best possible cultivation assistance, might be able to advance within five years."
As the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, her words carried a lot of weight.
So...
"Hiss——"
"Hiss——"
"Hiss——"
Zhuge Lan even felt the air around him thin out a bit.
"Is that all the fuss is about?"
Zhuge Lan sneered—
"Although this Sunflower Manual is fast, the Soul Power it condenses is too loose."
"Compared to the quality of my Yin-Yang force, it's several times worse."
"The efficiency is even lower."
"Trash."
Everyone: (●—●)●)●) [Emotions +66666]
[Emotion Points +99999]
You sure know how to humblebrag.
Flender coughed, pretending he hadn't heard.
He looked at Tang San.
"Tang San."
"How long do you estimate it will take you to reach level 32 if you cultivate according to the Sunflower Manual?"
Oscar and Ma Hongjun turned their attention towards him.
Tang San had just obtained his third Soul Ring, advancing to level 31.
So his data is very valuable.
Tang San brought this up, and couldn't help grinning.
"Just... one month!"
Oscar and Ma Hongjun's eyes lit up!
They grabbed Tang San, one on each side.
"Tang San, are you sure you didn't sense it wrong?" Ma Hongjun asked impatiently, "Really only one month?"
"Tang San, don't mess with us!" Oscar said nervously.
Tang San nodded in agreement—otherwise, you think he wouldn't have been able to... you know?
Receiving an affirmative answer.
Oscar and Ma Hongjun were moved!
One level per month!
What kind of godly speed was this?!
They had to remember that...
Tang San, with his Twin Martial Souls, and Xiao Wu, who was a Soul Beast that had taken human form, represented the peak talents of humans and Soul Beasts.
Subtracting one level for each of the two Soul Rings, they had actually gained 17 levels in six years. That was an average of three levels per year, or one level every four months.
Even this was already considered incredibly fast.
Yet, by cultivating the Sunflower Manual, one could gain a level per month without any external assistance?
At this rate...
Would it take only ten years to reach Title Douluo??!!
[Emotional Points +99999]
[Emotion Points +110,000]
Ma Hongjun and Oscar exchanged glances.
They both saw the excitement in each other's eyes!
Ten years!
Just a mere ten years, and they could advance to Title Douluo!
Although in actual cultivation, it definitely wouldn't be that fast.
But even if they were generous and doubled it to twenty years…
They would still only be in their early thirties then.
That was still their youthful prime.
Seems... acceptable?
The only problem is...
The two looked at Zhuge Lan.
Would Zhuge Lan even recognize them after twenty years?
Sensing their thoughts, Zhuge Lan simply said,
"I don't have those old farts' mentality of dying in the family."
"I'll definitely be out there causing trouble, and with my ability to stir things up, it shouldn't be hard to find me."
"Hmm."
"But I'll probably have a lot of enemies, so it depends on whether you have the guts to come looking."
——Let's start with a preventative measure.
When it's time to renew.
We must find a way to stall them, make them lose their minds, and let them vent their emotions! Hey! He's truly a genius!
[Emotion Points +151515]
[Emotion Points +151515]
Oscar and the other person breathed heavily, their eyes shifting.
One foot was already on the borderline of being cut off.
——It's really too tempting! Such a rapid leveling-up efficiency, the price is nothing more than a few pieces of meat—and it's only temporary, it can be restored later.
Who can handle this?!
Zhuge Lan pushed him with a smile.
"Fatty, aren't you always bothered by the Evil Fire?"
"After you cut it off, then cultivate the Sunflower Manual, all of this will be resolved."
[Emotion Points +111111]
Ma Hongjun slid on his knees and hugged Zhuge Lan's thigh.
Zhuge Lan stepped on his face with one foot, pushing him far away.
"Don't get so close, your greasy oil splashed on me!"
Without any disguise, Zhuge Lan showed his dislike, but Ma Hongjun didn't care at all.
"Lan-ge! My Lan-ge!" Ma Hongjun confirmed again, "This really can solve my Evil Fire problem?"
"Nonsense, why would I be telling you if I wasn't sure?" Zhuge Lan said, displeased. "You don't believe me? You can try it. Worst case, I'll just make it grow back for you."
—This is system-certified, there's no mistake.
[Emotional Points +190,000]
Ma Hongjun wanted to cry!
The problem that had plagued him for so many years was just solved like that?
Did he want to go whoring?
Did he want to gorge himself?
Did he want to lie around and do nothing?
Hmm...
It was true.
But that was because the Evil Fire was flaring up; it was a torment.
Every time he was done venting...
Either he was so full he couldn't move, or his legs were weak from... well.
Exhausted, how could he have any energy to cultivate?
Ma Hongjun believed—as long as he was free from the Evil Fire's torment, he would definitely live a new life!
[Emotion Points +233333]
So.
He walked towards Flender without hesitation.
"Headmaster, I also want to learn the Sunflower Manual!"
"Can you help me get started?"
The subtext was—I can't bring myself to do it, can you help me cut it off?
Flender revealed a confident smile.
Last night, he had performed the operation on everyone except himself.
Skilled in the trade.
His words immediately left everyone speechless.
Just listen to—
