"Roar—"
"Beast! Stay quiet!"
Following the voice, they saw Gu Rong summon numerous bone spikes to restrain Yan Long. No matter how it struggled, it was futile.
It wasn't that Gu Rong was exceptionally strong.
Rather, Yan Long, after all the exhaustion along the way, was now like a spent arrow.
So…Here lay a 100,000-year-old soul beast about to be slaughtered, still carrying dragon blood.
What a tempting treasure!
Flandre couldn't resist and stepped forward.
"Zhuge."
"I happen to need an eighth soul ring."
"How about this: the head of Shrek Academy can take care of it—you don't need this 100,000-year-old soul beast, so let me absorb it?"
Wow!
Flandre's scheming left everyone present speechless.
What kind of academy head could be worth a 100,000-year-old dragon-type soul beast?—That's a 100,000-year soul ring plus a 100,000-year soul bone!
"If it could be traded like that…" Prince Xue Xing felt tempted:"I, this prince, can authorize it. The head of Tian Dou Royal Academy will be under your charge!"
Flandre was furious!"What Tian Dou Royal Academy? Your main team members still couldn't beat us Shrek!"
"Really?" Prince Xue Xing didn't believe it:"You better think carefully before slandering the Royal Academy."
"It was Zhuge who led them!" Flandre countered decisively.
Prince Xue Xing instinctively glanced at Zhuge Lan, who showed no expression.
Seems it's true.
But one doesn't lose face even in defeat.
"It's only because young friend Zhuge was present that they won!"
"Your so-called Shrek—never even heard of it!"
Hey!
That hit Flandre's nerve, making him stomp furiously, wanting to argue further!
But Xue Qinghe intervened:
"The battle has just ended. Royal Uncle, you should quickly settle the Iron Cavalry Regiment."
"As for this 100,000-year-old soul beast…"
"Let Zhuge decide for himself."
The Crown Prince intervened.
No one could directly override him without losing face.
Flandre and Prince Xue Xing glared at each other.
For now, hostilities paused.
—But this matter wasn't over!
All eyes turned expectantly to Zhuge Lan, wondering how he would divide the reward.
Zhuge Lan rubbed his chin.
Looking at Yan Long on the ground… just kill it?
Would be too wasteful.
He didn't need the 100,000-year soul ring or soul bone.
But this creature had fought stubbornly, enduring a long journey just to take a bite of him.
Its spirit was impressive.
Such a high-value experience monster must be used properly.
He took a few steps forward.
Waving his hand, he expanded a mental domain to block outside scrutiny.
Then he said—
"I can return your innate soul skills to you."
"And also give you a chance to train as a human without suffering thunder tribulation or losing your cultivation."
"And this."
Zhuge Lan reached out.
A fiery red crystal appeared, radiating heat so intense even the dying Yan Long lifted its head.
[Emotion Points +151,515]
"Is that the aura of the Dragon God?"
"Human! What did you do to the Dragon God?!"
"You're really dead meat!!!"
Tsk!
The killing intent was strong.
But only such a defiant, stubborn beast could generate so many emotion points.
Zhuge Lan tossed the divine power crystal casually, saying—
"First, to clarify, the one whose corpse qi you absorbed is the Water-Fire Dragon King."
"One of the Nine Great Dragon Kings under the Dragon God, a first-class deity."
"Secondly, your life is now at my whim."
"My patience is limited."
"So think carefully before speaking; otherwise, your next words will be your last."
Yan Long—tough as it was—knew what was at stake.
But…Even ants try to survive.
On one hand: be skinned and made into soul rings.
On the other: regain strength and enjoy pure "Dragon God power."
No brain needed; the choice was clear.
Yan Long had lived tens of thousands of years; it knew which option to take.
But… it was unwilling!
It had been enjoying teasing the Ice Dragon Armored Beast—how did it end up like this?
But rules of the world are simple: might makes right.
"Human," Yan Long said complexly, "aren't you worried I'm pretending to agree, waiting for a chance to run?"
Zhuge Lan said nothing, merely gesturing at the watchful crowd outside.
Dugu Bo, Gu Rong—two titled warriors.
Also Flandre, a quasi-Soul Douluo, plus reinforcements.
Along with escorting soul masters Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi, and others arriving on news.
Run?These people wanted it to stay! That would justify its slaughter.
Yan Long understood.
Its dragon head drooped, closing its eyes in despair.
Through clenched teeth, it squeezed out—
"Master! Human!"
[Emotion Points +255,555]
It couldn't stay pure anymore.
Zhuge Lan smiled.
Yan Long, like Tang San, gave emotion points just by holding back.
As the saying goes: a wise man knows the times.
A 100,000-year-old soul beast with human traits was even easier to manipulate.
'Catching a few more 100,000-year beasts for training… steady income.'
Opening a mental link, he directly transferred the Morphing Technique.
[Emotion Points +110,000]
Yan Long lifted its head sharply, eyes wide in disbelief.
A cultivation method like this in the world?
Could it bypass the "soul beasts can't become gods" limit, train as a human, then ascend as a deity?
'With my 140,000 years of cultivation, plus human training talent, I'll definitely level up faster!'
'Then I can reverse roles and make it call me master!'
'Heh heh!'
Decision made.
Yan Long's resistance vanished. It pointed at the red crystal, opening its mouth.
Indicating it was time to feed.
Zhuge Lan tossed it casually; Yan Long caught it like a little puppy.
Smiling, he said: "You'll be called Huohuo from now on."
Yan Long: "."
What a ridiculous name!
It wanted to protest, but faced with Zhuge Lan's teasing gaze, its stubbornness flared.
It simply ignored him, closing its eyes to lie down and recover.
[Emotion Points +110,000]
Good, good! Another one that resists but gives emotion points when digesting.
Once recovered, it would be properly trained.
Zhuge Lan dispersed his mental domain, meeting Flandre and Prince Xue Xing's expectant gazes.
Grinning:
"Sorry. This 100,000-year-old soul beast is now my mount."
"So anyone wanting it must get past me first."
[Emotion Points +55,555]
[Emotion Points +99,999]
Flandre was disappointed but prepared.
A 100,000-year soul beast wouldn't be traded for an academy head.
Just hoping for a bonus, at best.
But…
Prince Xue Xing became scheming!
Although Zhuge Lan's display was impressive, he couldn't freely manipulate such divine tools, right?
Two 100,000-year soul beasts.
Could easily create two titled Douluos stronger than Dugu Bo!
A plan began to form—greed stirred.
Prince Xue Xing smiled, handing over a waist token:
"Since young friend Zhuge can't part with it, I won't insist."
"This is my ID token. In the future, if needed, show it at Tian Dou Royal Academy, and someone will bring you to see me."
This guy… still holding his princely status, acting humble.
Zhuge Lan chuckled.
Looking at Xue Qinghe, he said bluntly:
"Are all of you Tian Dou Empire people this confident?"
"Beg him?"
"Ridiculous!"
His words left Prince Xue Xing's smile frozen!
What? Suddenly being roasted?
Meanwhile, Flandre shook his head.
This prince smiled like a sly fox—clearly scheming.
But…Scheming against Zhuge Lan? Too easy!
It was like showing off before Guan Yu.
Next moment, Zhuge Lan revealed an unbelievable tidbit—
Tomorrow, he'd go change the medicine; his toenails would be pulled off and bandaged. Surely it would be painful.
Boohoo—
Even the disabled must persevere to release an extra chapter. Surely worth some tickets and encouragement!
