Chapter 56: Tang Yuehua Opens Champagne at Halftime
Blue Tyrant Academy.
Liu Erlong's heart clenched in an instant.
No way?
That damned Bibi Dong was already at Rank Ninety-Nine?
Thank goodness.
At least this reward should be something Bibi Dong can't draw. But… no matter who gets it later, they absolutely must not give it to her.
[Liu Erlong: Useless Bibi Dong, watch your big sister teach you a lesson.]
[Liu Erlong: Three… two… one.]
[Bibi Dong: Hahaha!!]
[Liu Erlong: This chat group is no fun at all!]
Infuriated, Liu Erlong directly hurled the little jade mirror away.
Rose Hotel.
"W-wait."
"Let me draw the reward first… oh…"
[Cat in the Shadow: Four, four, five.]
[Everyone: ?????]
Zhu Zhuqing instantly threw her arms around Su Yan, eyes bright with joy.
"Dummy."
Su Yan couldn't help but laugh helplessly.
"With so many people, the chance of rolling below fifteen is slim. But as long as we continue training our Martial Soul Fusion Skill, gaining one more rank of soul power will be quick."
Zhu Zhuqing, however, surrendered immediately.
"I'm done."
"We really can't train anymore today. If we keep going, I'm seriously going to break."
Next door—
Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu were already exploding with jealousy.
"What?!"
"Zhu Zhuqing can snatch it too?!"
[Seven Treasures Little Princess: Kitty, that's too much! You already took a separate reward for yourself, and you still have the nerve to fight us for another?!]
[Carrot Lover: And it'd be one thing if you just grabbed it, but you actually rolled such a huge number?!]
[Carrot Lover: Four… two… one.]
Xiao Wu instantly pouted unhappily.
"Rongrong… sob… You have to beat her! You must win back our dignity!"
Ning Rongrong nodded fiercely.
"Xiao Wu, leave it to me!"
[Seven Treasures Little Princess: Three, five, three.]
[Seven Treasures Little Princess: I clearly smile all the time, so why is my luck still this terrible?!]
"Wuuuu…"
Crying, Ning Rongrong hugged Xiao Wu, and the two became a pair of sorrowful sisters wallowing in misery.
Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Dugu Yan was slightly shocked. There was actually a reward that directly increased soul power?
If this happened dozens of times, wouldn't she directly become a god?
[Yan Zi is Not Swallow: Four, four, one.]
[Yan Zi is Not Swallow: This is too much. It's one thing to give the administrator a separate reward, but to give her such a high score?]
In the same dorm building—
Another room.
Ye Lingling covered her mouth, quietly laughing.
"Yanzi, this luck is only average. It probably still depends on oneself!"
[Group Member No. 9: Do you think there's any chance I'll roll another triple?]
[I Am an Orphan: Six, three, four.]
[I Am an Orphan: Oh no, we've got another tie. Don't tell me you're really about to roll a triple?]
Qian Renxue felt numb.
Finally, someone rolled a high number, but it ended up tying with that damn cat.
Looks like that extra rank of soul power was hopeless after all.
[Group Member No. 9: Three, three, three.]
[Yan Zi is Not Swallow: Hahaha! No. 9, you really rolled a triple, but too bad it got cut clean in half.]
Ye Lingling's smile froze and collapsed instantly.
Terrible. She was actually mocked by that fellow Yanzi.

Pope's Bedroom.
Bibi Dong said seriously, "Nana, now! Make your move!"
"Yes, Teacher."
Hu Liena immediately tapped to participate.
[Hu Liena: One, two, three.]
[Hu Liena: This isn't fun. This chat group isn't fun at all.]
"Teacher, I feel like there's something shady going on in here!"
"I actually ranked at the very bottom."
Hu Liena was completely depressed.
Bibi Dong sighed helplessly. "Forget it. Let's wait and see who ends up getting the reward. We'll try offering them a price to trade for it."

Moon Pavilion.
Among all the participants, Tang Yuehua was the most excited. For others, a single level of soul power wasn't worth much. But for Tang Yuehua, this was a heaven-sent blessing—something that could help her break through completely!
"I must get it!"
Tang Yuehua clenched her fists tightly.
'Sacrifice someone's luck, gather it all on me, and help me grab that reward.'
[The Moon of My Childhood: Four, six, five.]
"Oh my goodness!"
Tang Yuehua threw aside all elegance and jumped up from her bed in sheer excitement.
Fifteen points. Except for that newcomer, everyone else had already drawn. It seemed skipping her last attempt had allowed her luck to accumulate all at once.
Wonderful. From today onward, she would finally become a true soul master.
Overjoyed, Tang Yuehua immediately opened a bottle of fine wine she had treasured for years, celebrating the fulfillment of her lifelong dream.
[Su Yan: Five, five, six.]
After finishing his cultivation, Su Yan rested while leaning against Zhu Zhuqing's giant rabbits, casually tapping the screen.
"Su Yan, you're incredible!"
Zhu Zhuqing, seeing his result, instantly wrapped her arms around him in excitement.
Su Yan: I can't breathe.
[The Moon of My Childhood: I swear—really—I will never, ever celebrate early again! Wuuuu—!]
Seeing Su Yan's number, Tang Yuehua was truly crying now.
[Yan Zi is Not Swallow: New guy, hurry up and roll! Whether anyone can defeat Su Yan depends entirely on you!]
[Bibi Dong: Hurry! As long as one of you gets the reward, this Pope is willing to exchange anything you want.]
Seed Space.
Ah Yin was still dazed. She didn't even understand what was happening. Was everyone… gambling?
Then she would try as well!
[Spring Wind Revives Again: One, one, one.]
"I'm the lowest?"
Ah Yin was a little discouraged. She had hoped to get the reward so she could trade with that person named Bibi Dong for information about Tang San.
Now it seemed impossible.
She couldn't understand why her luck was so terrible—there wasn't a number lower than this.
[Reward drawing complete. Congratulations to "Su Yan" for obtaining the reward.]
Rose Hotel.
After gaining one level of soul power, Su Yan lay in Zhu Zhuqing's arms, feeling delighted.
"Zhuqing, you're my lucky star."
Zhu Zhuqing smiled sweetly.
"Mhm. You're also my lucky star. By the way, what is that 'Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone' used for?"
Su Yan sat up and explained, "It's an immortal herb. It can improve your cultivation constitution."
"Come on, get up."
"I'll show you how to use it. Aside from enhancing your body, it can also raise your soul power by about seven levels."
"Seven levels?"
Zhu Zhuqing was startled. Then she whispered, "Su Yan… I want to give this reward to you. Improving your soul power is more important than me."
Su Yan smiled warmly.
"No need. I have my own rewards too. And I know where to find plenty of immortal herbs. Now that you're safe, I can go retrieve them anytime."
"No."
Zhu Zhuqing's voice was firm. "If there are more immortal herbs, then I'm not in a hurry to use this."
"You should use it first to raise your soul power. That way, it'll be safer when you go to collect more herbs."
After saying that—
Zhu Zhuqing took out the immortal herb and handed it directly to Su Yan.
Su Yan felt both helpless and touched. He gently pinched Zhu Zhuqing's martial soul form and said softly, "Silly girl. You're a cultivation fanatic—the one who desires strength the most. And yet you're giving me the immortal herb?"
"Aren't you afraid we won't get another one later?"
Zhu Zhuqing answered in a gentle voice, "Before, I wanted to grow stronger because I had no one to rely on. If I didn't work hard, I'd never escape my family's fate."
"But now… you're everything to me."
Su Yan didn't rush to absorb the herb. He pulled Zhu Zhuqing into his arms again and whispered:
"As long as I'm here, nothing will ever harm you. Give me some time, and I'll completely resolve the matters with the Zhu family."
"I'll hold you as we sleep. Tomorrow I'll take you all to settle into Shrek Academy. After that, I'll leave to gather the immortal herbs."
The situation at Nuoding Academy wouldn't stay hidden for long—Bibi Dong would eventually learn about it. His original plan had been to go directly to find Dugu Yan. But with Zhu Zhuqing escaping from home, he'd been delayed by a single day.
Just one day… for the sake of this girl.
