Who's the Cheat Code For, Anyway?

Whoosh.

A figure suddenly darted out of the forest.

It was Chao Tianxiang, not far from Zhao Wuji and the others. Seeing Tang San wailing towards the sky, she asked, puzzled, "Isn't that Tang San?"

"What happened?"

Tang San knelt on the ground in agony, his voice filled with grief and indignation:

"Finding a spirit ring is too difficult, too difficult."

"I can't find one!"

Chao Tianxiang shook her head inwardly and hurried back.

\n\n

Not long after.

Meng Shu saw his old lady return and asked, puzzled, "Who was shouting in the forest just now?"

Chao Tianxiang was a bit speechless.

"It was that young man, Tang San. He was having a hard time finding a spirit ring and cried."

Meng Shu nodded slightly and said,

"Never mind him. Our granddaughter's spirit ring is about to finish absorbing. Next, we can see if she can get an External Spirit Bone."

Chao Tianxiang nodded heavily.

As for Meng Yiran, after her spirit ring was upgraded, absorbing this Human-Faced Demon Spider was naturally very easy. Before long, she had completed the absorption, and three spirit rings, purple-purple-purple, appeared on her body.

"Grandfather, Grandmother, I did it."

"Crack!"

But just as she spoke, Meng Yiran suddenly knelt on the ground, a cracking sound coming from her body.

"Ah, Grandfather, I feel so uncomfortable."

This?

Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang were instantly alarmed.

"Yiran, what's wrong?"

"Could this be the External Spirit Bone growing?"

The next moment.

Just then, Meng Yiran's clothes suddenly burst open, and the Eight Spider Spirit Bone sprouted from her back.

Meng Shu turned his head to the side, happily shouting: "Old woman, go quickly and see how Yiran is doing! She really has an External Spirit Bone, good, good, good! The External Spirit Bone plus the spirit rings are all over a thousand or two thousand years old. My granddaughter Meng Yiran has the potential to become a Title Douluo, hahaha——!"

Chao Tianxiang also hurried forward, saying: "Yiran, don't be nervous, relax a little, slowly relax."

"The External Spirit Bone is also part of your body. You can control it, it just takes a process. You slowly relax."

So, the question arises.

A beautiful snake with spider legs, isn't that a bit, well, incongruous?

The next day.

Su Chen led Hu Liena and the other two, still getting up early to exercise.

It was nearly noon.

Then, he began to hunt for a spirit ring for Ye Lingling.

Ye Lingling's spirit rings were the easiest to obtain because as long as the age was suitable, there was no need to consider attributes. After all, they wouldn't add any new spirit skills for her.

However…

Just as Su Chen was considering the age of Ye Lingling's fifth spirit ring, she suddenly blurted out: "Su Chen, I've actually reached level seventy, so we'll need to hunt for three spirit rings next. They will be my fifth, sixth, and seventh spirit rings."

"Cough!"

Su Chen choked, looking at Ye Lingling in disbelief and asking, "Are you sure?"

Ye Lingling nodded heavily.

Seeing this, Su Chen quickly reached out to examine Ye Lingling's body. His inner power flowed through her, checking her meridians and spirit power.

So, it really was a level seventy.

Su Chen was annoyed. He smacked Ye Lingling's butt hard, then glanced at Hu Liena and Dugu Yan. Seeing no surprise in their eyes just made him angrier.

Fine, fine! So, I'm the only one who didn't know, huh? But... You lot! You're all too much! You bunch of screen-peeking old sixes! You're even more powerful than I am! I'm still trying to break through level thirty, and you're all rocketing upwards! I'm so envious, my Martial Soul is turning purple! Slap! Su Chen smacked Ye Lingling's butt again. Ye Lingling pouted in pain. Su Chen rolled his eyes at the three of them and said,

"If that's the case, then the age of the fifth spirit ring can't be judged by normal standards."

"Liena, how old was Qian Renxue's first spirit ring?"

Hu Liena immediately realized what he meant. "Right! Because Xiao Xue had innate soul power of level twenty, her first spirit ring was eight hundred years old."

"Doesn't that mean, Lingling can directly choose the age of the seventh spirit ring, starting from the fifth?"

Su Chen nodded.

"Logically, yes. But to be safe, the seventh spirit ring for a normal person is between thirty thousand and fifty thousand years. We'll choose twenty-eight thousand years."

"Right, Nana, show me the ages of your spirit rings."

"Uh... about that?"

Hu Liena tensed up instantly. She'd been deliberately avoiding revealing this to Su Chen. What was she going to do now?

Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan looked at Hu Liena with helplessness. Ye Lingling's eyes were especially aggrieved. I took two slaps to help you hide the truth.

Hu Liena asked timidly, "Can I keep it a secret for now?"

"No!"

Su Chen refused without hesitation.

Still keeping it a secret? You lot are playing me! I suspect you're even more overpowered than I am. Who's really getting the cheat code here?

BOOM BOOM BOOM——!

As Hu Liena's Martial Soul appeared, eight spirit rings—purple, purple, purple, purple, red, red, red, red—instantly blinded Su Chen's alloy eyes.

Su Chen fell silent.

Write a diary? Write a diary, my ass!

I… I really feel so damn frustrated!

Hu Liena said in a serious tone:

"God-Given Spirit Ring!"

"Mm."

Su Chen nodded slightly. He beckoned Hu Liena closer. When she approached, he put one arm around her waist and with the other hand, he directly smacked her little butt twice.

Slap! Slap!

Hu Liena winced in pain, saying, "You bad guy, that was so hard!"

"I..."

Su Chen whispered a threat in Hu Liena's ear, "If I wasn't helping Lingling get a spirit ring right now, just wait until we get back. I'll give you a good beating with my Kunpeng!"

Hu Liena's face flushed red instantly. She glared at Su Chen and didn't say anything.

Su Chen then turned to Dugu Yan and asked:

"Yanzi, now it's your turn to be honest. Tell me! What level are you now?"

"???"

Question marks appeared on Dugu Yan's face as she replied, "I'm still the same!"

"My strength is exactly what you see. I'm not hiding anything from you… Ouch!"

Su Chen had already slapped her little behind, muttering:

"Still trying to be tough, huh?"

Dugu Yan looked at Su Chen pitifully, thinking: I'm really wronged. I really am like this. I can't compare to them!

Waaaah!

Dugu Yan shot a pleading look at Hu Liena and Ye Lingling. Their expressions were also complicated. They felt quite apologetic, as Dugu Yan had been implicated.

Hu Liena hesitated and said:

"Um… Yanzi really is like this. Even if you ate her, she'd still be at level forty."

Ye Lingling then pulled on Su Chen and blinked at him, saying:

"The deity that Yanzi is inheriting hasn't favored her yet, so she hasn't received a significant boost. Do you understand?"
