Chapter 177: Licking to Level Up

While Tang San and the other four were silently cultivating and waiting for their turn, and Qin Jian was dealing with Zhu Zhuqing with a mix of secret pleasure and helplessness, a burly man over two meters tall suddenly walked toward their direction.

This person looked to be in his thirties, shirtless, revealing exaggerated, dark-skinned muscles.

"Hey! Little sister, that man can't satisfy you, come find Brother to play!"

The object of his words was naturally Zhu Zhuqing, who had the most explosive figure among the three girls of the Shrek Seven Devils, and especially in her current state on Qin Jian's back, she was incomparably alluring.

Facing this kind of fly, Qin Jian had only one word: "Scram!"

"Looking for death, are you? Do you know who I am? How dare you talk to me like that!"

As he spoke, the man's large hand was already raised.

Qin Jian didn't even glance at him.

"Looking for death!"

Seeing Qin Jian treat him with such contempt, the big man was instantly furious, his right hand suddenly swung down, slapping toward Qin Jian.

"Bang!"

A flash of Sword Light appeared in front of Qin Jian just in time; the big man's body was shaken by the counter-shock, but Qin Jian remained completely unmoved.

The difference in skill was immediately apparent, and the big man's expression changed slightly.

"If you want to test me, then test me; such base provocation will only anger me."

Qin Jian raised his head coldly, his soul power erupting, and with a wave of his sword-fingers, a sharp Sword Qi was generated, directly blasting the big man back seven or eight meters.

"Bang!"

He crashed into the door panel in a sorry state, drawing the focus of every gaze in the rest area.

"You!"

The big man was burning with rage, and soul power began to surge on his body.

"Stop!"

Just as both sides were at daggers drawn and about to fight, a neutral voice suddenly cut in, and a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties was seen striding forward.

"Don't you know that private fights are not allowed in the Soul Fighting Rest Area? This is the rule of the Great Spirit Arena; if you want to fight, go to the Douhun Tai!"

Seeing this middle-aged man, the burly man who had been furious a moment ago actually changed his expression immediately: "Ao Zhuguan, it's my fault, I couldn't hold back for a moment."

The middle-aged man known as Ao Zhuguan looked at the seven members of the Shrek Seven Devils: "You must be the Shrek Seven Devils, the group that registered today, right? It just so happens that today, you and the Mad Battle Team where Kuang Xi belongs are opponents on the Douhun Tai. If you have any grudges, resolve them on the Douhun Tai yourselves."

"Yes, yes, we will resolve it on the Douhun Tai."

Kuang Xi's strong body and his sheepish grin looked extremely discordant, but when his gaze turned to Qin Jian, it immediately became cold and sharp.

He pointed a finger at Qin Jian: "Kid, we'll see about this later! If I don't beat you until even your mother doesn't recognize you, I'm not called Kuang Xi!"

After saying this, Kuang Xi turned and left.

That Ao Zhuguan swept a faint glance at Qin Jian and said indifferently: "Don't be blinded by appearances. Kuang Xi, the Captain of the Mad Battle Team, has a team where everyone is Level 35 or above, and they have already achieved a seven-game winning streak at the Soul Elder level. You had better pray for your own luck. If you feel your strength is insufficient, admit defeat immediately after going on stage; when the Mad Battle Team strikes, it's either death or injury."

Having said that, he turned and left, seemingly not wanting to waste more words.

Qin Jian curled his lips: "I didn't expect that the first time we stepped onto the Team Soul Fighting stage, we would encounter such a tough nut to crack. Hmph! This is our first team battle kill; I'd be embarrassed to say I'm in the rankings if I don't take a few heads."

Tang San said cautiously: "The supervisor just said it too; this Kuang Xi is not as simple as he appears on the surface. We still need to be a bit careful."

Qin Jian patted him on the shoulder and laughed: "You're the Captain, you have the final say. I'm the Vice-Captain, responsible for cheering from the sidelines."

Tang San was speechless.

"Eh..."

Qin Jian suddenly felt something was wrong; he turned his head and discovered that Zhuqing, who had been clinging to him, had already taken a step back. Her face was still a bit flushed, but her gaze had returned to normal.

"Could it be that I used soul power just now to accelerate Zhuqing's recovery?" Qin Jian scratched his head and said.

"Cough..."

Oscar, Tang San, and the others turned their heads away in tacit agreement, so as not to let Zhuqing see their uncontrollable, strange expressions.

"Woo..."

The next moment, Zhuqing threw herself back into Qin Jian's arms.

"Wha... what's wrong? Not awake yet?"

Qin Jian was startled.

"I... I have no face to see anyone..." Zhuqing said, burying her head.

Oscar and the others looked up at the ceiling.

Qin Jian couldn't help but want to raise the corners of his mouth, but he managed to control it with difficulty.

He said softly and gently: "Don't worry, they won't laugh at you."

"Hmph!"

Zhuqing tapped his chest lightly and scolded in a low voice: "I've been taken advantage of by you."

"How can you say I took advantage of you?"

Qin Jian complained: "It was clearly you who took the initiative; I was forced!"

"You!"

Zhuqing, who was already very thin-skinned, couldn't hold her composure when she heard him say that, and without thinking, she took a bite!

It was the neck again...

"Hiss..."

Qin Jian gasped, not knowing if it was from the pain or the pleasure.

Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and Tang San's eyes couldn't help but glance over again, while Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu were already standing with hands on their hips, watching intently.

"Did I bite you hard?"

After all, Zhuqing was completely awake at this moment, so she hurriedly let go and asked.

Qin Jian took the opportunity to pretend to frown and said: "It hurts so much..."

Zhu Zhuqing blinked her eyes, not knowing if it was because the effects of the Catnip hadn't fully cleared or what, but she suddenly leaned in and gently licked the spot she had just bitten.

Ning Rongrong and the others were all stunned.

Is this still that cold, icy Zhu Zhuqing...

This time, the impact was even greater than the previous one on Qin Jian; although Zhu Zhuqing had been more uninhibited back then, she hadn't been conscious.

But the one doing this right now is a fully conscious Zhu Zhuqing—the concept is completely different!

Qin Jian pulled her tightly into his embrace, and the soul power on his body suddenly began to surge.

"Hm? Is my soul power about to increase?"

Grandmaster's eyes lit up: "This is about to rise to the 39th Level."

"Ah?!"

Oscar and Ma Hongjun clutched their heads as if struck by a bolt of lightning.

"Can soul power increase just by being licked?" Oscar felt like he was going crazy.

Ma Hongjun had a look of inquiry: "I also get licked like this often, why hasn't my soul power increased? Could it be the position is wrong? Does it only work on the neck?"

"Oscar... Ma Hongjun..."

Zhu Zhuqing finally let go of Qin Jian, turned around, and her face was covered in frost: "Do you want to die?"

Oscar and Ma Hongjun instantly hugged each other, silent as cicadas in winter.

"Zhuqing..."

At this moment, Ning Rongrong suddenly walked out; Oscar's eyes lit up, and he immediately distributed Melon-Eating Sausage to Ma Hongjun and Tang San.

But Ning Rongrong did not trigger the Asura Field mode as they had expected; instead, she said with a meaningful expression: "You... should be more intimate with Brother Jian during this time... hug more often..."

Zhu Zhuqing blinked her eyes, feeling a bit dazed.

But Qin Jian's heart gave a fierce twitch; he knew Ning Rongrong had already guessed something.

When the 40th Level is reached, that will be the day he and Zhu Zhuqing must part...
