Chapter 160: Money Is So Good

In the midst of a dream, the soul form of Bai Li Pang Pang slowly opened his eyes.

"Ha" He stretched lazily, smacking his lips. Half-asleep, he murmured in confusion:

"Why do I feel so comfortable today... Didn't the instructor blow the whistle?"

Hmm?

Where am I?

Finally fully awake, he looked at his soul form, which was stuck to the spiderweb, and then glanced around at the other rookie soul forms struggling nearby. A deep confusion appeared in his eyes…

What the hell is this?

How did I end up here?

He scratched his head. Even though he wasn't quick-witted, he could now tell that something was wrong.

"A spiritual trap?" Bai Li Pang Pang muttered, then shook his head. "No, if this were a spiritual trap, the [Firewall] should have automatically resisted. This isn't an attack-type spiritual trap. This is…"

Bai Li Pang Pang tugged hard at his hand, but couldn't break free from the spiderweb. He was stuck in mid-air, clearly seeing the rookies walking around the training camp, yet the rookies below seemed unable to see his presence at all.

"A spiritual Forbidden Ruin that can detach the soul body?" Bai Li Pang Pang said in surprise, "Such Forbidden Ruins are rare… Never mind, let's just get out of here first."

He summoned his spiritual energy, directing it all into a black ring on his right index finger. Although he was in soul form and his clothes were mere projections, Forbidden Objects like [Free Space] couldn't appear on his body, but for some reason, this ring seemed to be attached to his soul form, unaffected by any restrictions.

"Since I'm in soul form, this thing should still work." Bai Li Pang Pang muttered, and a black light blade shot out from his fingertip. "Forbidden Object, [Soul Severing Blade]."

With a flick of his finger, the black light blade easily sliced through the spiderweb binding his soul form. He floated down from the web, then suddenly felt a powerful suction force pulling him back toward his physical body, and he quickly drifted toward it...

At the same time, the spider-boy lying on the warehouse spiderweb suddenly screamed in pain!

"Ah! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! Who's that?! I just wanted to sleep peacefully, why are they attacking me?!"

Feeling wronged, he sat up on the web, his red eyes glowing again as he saw Bai Li Pang Pang's soul form returning to his body and the piece of web that had been cut off.

"It's over… This fatty can damage my [Soul Weaving]… This is bad, what should I do now…"

The spider-boy sat on his soft bed of webs with a troubled expression, thinking hard for a long time. After shaking his head forcefully, he looked resigned, like a broken vessel ready to give up:

"Forget it, forget it. Whatever happens, happens. I'll just go back to sleep!"

He hummed, laid back down on the soft bed, and closed his eyes contentedly…

In Building One

Bai Li Pang Pang groaned a couple of times in a pig-like fashion and slowly opened his eyes.

After staring blankly at the ceiling for a few seconds, he suddenly sat up with a start. "Damn, there's a monster!"

He turned his head to look at Lin QiYe's bed, but found it empty. Looking down at his Rolex, he slipped on his slippers and quickly ran outside.

As soon as he pushed open the door, he saw Shen Qingzhu returning from the cafeteria.

Shen Qingzhu froze when he saw Bai Li Pang Pang running out, then opened his mouth in shock:

"You… you're…"

Bai Li Pang Pang looked around and furrowed his brow. "What's going on? What happened?"

Shen Qingzhu didn't immediately answer. Instead, he ran to several dorm rooms, confirming that everyone else was still asleep, before looking at Bai Li Pang Pang with a surprised expression.

"This is what happened…"

Shen Qingzhu briefly explained everything to Bai Li Pang Pang. Bai Li Pang Pang nodded thoughtfully.

"No wonder… it seems like the others who are asleep must be like I was earlier, their soul bodies stuck on that huge spiderweb…"

"What's their situation?" Shen Qingzhu asked anxiously.

"They're fine, just trapped. I can save them," Bai Li Pang Pang shrugged and said.

"You can save them?" Shen Qingzhu was delighted. "Really?"

"Do I ever lie?" Bai Li Pang Pang said smugly.

"How are you going to save them?"

"I've got my ways." Bai Li Pang Pang chuckled arrogantly, pulling a monocle from his pocket and putting it on his nose.

The moment the monocle was placed on his face, Bai Li Pang Pang could clearly see invisible threads in the air, interwoven to form a large web that covered the entire training camp.

This Forbidden Object, which he had used during the battle with the [Masked] team, was from Forbidden Ruin series 315, [Eye of True Sight]. When worn, it revealed all things, both tangible and intangible, and soul forms were no exception.

"There are so many…" Bai Li Pang Pang muttered. The [Yao Guang] necklace on his chest glowed with golden light, forming a massive sword image that lifted Bai Li Pang Pang's body as he soared into the air.

Shen Qingzhu stared blankly at Bai Li Pang Pang's figure floating, a hint of a celestial aura around him…

"Damn, being rich is really nice!"

Bai Li Pang Pang stood on the [Yao Guang], wearing the [Eye of True Sight], and wielding the [Soul Severing Blade]. He hovered steadily in mid-air, a slight breeze tousling his clothes, giving off an ethereal, transcendent aura.

A confident smile appeared on his face.

The black light of the Soul Severing Blade swept across the sky, accurately slicing through a thread of the web. The web snapped, and the soul form stuck to it fell, automatically flying back into its body.

The sword image created by [Yao Guang] carried Bai Li Pang Pang's body as he danced through the air. The black light of the [Soul Severing Blade] flashed repeatedly, and the invisible web in the sky rapidly disintegrated…

"Ahhhhhh!!!"

The spider-boy in the warehouse suddenly sat up, clutching his head and screaming in pain. He rolled around uncontrollably on the soft bed of webs…

"That fatty… he's cutting my threads!

It hurts, it hurts…

I can't take it anymore! Fine, I'll return all the soul bodies to you!

Collect!"

He extended his palm toward the sky, and the webs above the training camp quickly retracted into his hand, taking with them all the soul forms that had been stuck to the web. These soul forms fell and returned to their original bodies.

Bai Li Pang Pang, holding the [Soul Severing Blade], looked in surprise at the rapidly retracting webs in one direction and stopped in mid-air.

"Hmph, now you know how powerful I am, huh?" Bai Li Pang Pang put the [Soul Severing Blade] back into the ring, placing his hands on his hips, grinning proudly.

After a moment, the smile on his face slowly faded, and his expression became more serious.

He pushed up his monocle and muttered to himself:

"Is it hiding over there…"
