Under the expectant gazes of everyone, Rosen released his Devil Fruit Tree Martial Soul, and then his third spirit ring lit up. A white Devil Fruit that looked very much like a human face grew on the Devil Fruit Tree!
At this moment, Rosen picked this white face-shaped Devil Fruit and said to everyone, "This is called the Face Fruit. As long as you eat this fruit, everyone here will have to give me face!"
"Give you face? What do you mean?"
Ma Hongjun and Oscar looked at each other, completely not understanding what Rosen meant.
"That's how this thing works. Eating it will make you have face." Rosen explained again.
"Uh, still don't understand." Ma Hongjun indicated that he didn't understand at all.
"Hmph, what Face Fruit? I think it's just a mutated useless spirit ring." Tang San sneered.
"Brother Rosen, we don't quite understand what you're saying. Can you explain it in simpler terms?" Ma Hongjun couldn't help but ask.
Rosen could only helplessly shrug and say, "Alright, I'll demonstrate for you now."
He then ate the Face-Saving Fruit, seemingly without any unusual power fluctuations, as if it had no effect.
However, Rosen then walked directly in front of Tang San and suddenly slapped him hard across the face!
Tang San instantly flew into a rage, ready to unleash his spirit and fight Rosen to the death!
But Rosen calmly smiled and said, "Tang San, give me some face, I'll let this slap go."
Tang San was stunned. For some reason, his anger vanished instantly, and he felt no resentment towards Rosen's actions, even thinking that Rosen deserved the slap!
"Fine! I'll give you face!"
Tang San said, turning and retreating, actually not wanting to cause any more trouble for Rosen!
Everyone was stunned by this scene; they hadn't expected the Face-Saving Fruit to actually make someone give them face!
At this moment, Zhao Wuji couldn't help but ask, "Rosen, are there any limitations to the use of your Face Fruit? Does it work on everyone? How long does the effect last?"
"I'm not entirely sure about that," Rosen replied. "Anyway, for a short time, people will give me face. As for how long the effect will last, I'm not entirely sure myself."
Although Rosen had obtained the Face Fruit, he didn't understand it. For now, even Zhao Wuji had to give him face. As for whether it would work on people with higher cultivation levels, that was hard to say!
Zhao Wuji pondered for a moment, then said very seriously, "Your spirit ring ability is truly powerful! Regardless of the duration of the Face Fruit's effect, it can have an absolute impact on the enemy! This effect is practically invincible!" "
Teacher Zhao, aren't you praising it a bit too much? If Rosen's Face Fruit is really that powerful, wouldn't even Title Douluo have to give him face?"
"I think it's possible, but we can't verify it yet. We'll definitely be able to prove the true effect of the Face Fruit when we have the chance in the future!"
Zhao Wuji himself felt that Rosen's third spirit ring must be very strong. After all, it was a spirit ring from a nearly four-thousand-year-old Human-Faced Demon Spider. Even if it was bad, it was definitely much better than an ordinary thousand-year-old spirit ring!
Moreover, Rosen's Face Fruit seemed useless at first glance, but it could be a life-saving divine skill in critical moments!
Actually, the reason Rosen didn't explain the details of the Face Fruit to everyone was mainly because the Face Fruit was too powerful. He himself hadn't expected to obtain the legendary Face Fruit this time!
The Face Fruit is arguably Rosen's strongest trump card. In times of crisis, he only needs others to give him face!
Although Rosen didn't obtain an external soul bone from the Man-Faced Demon Spider, compared to the Face Fruit, an external soul bone is practically unnecessary!
Moreover, Rosen's physical cultivation hasn't reached its peak yet, so he's not in a hurry to obtain a soul bone.
"Alright, now only Tang San hasn't obtained a suitable soul ring. Let's help look for one more time."
Zhao Wuji led the group to search for soul beasts again. Although Tang San was frustrated, he kept thinking about giving Rosen face, so he didn't show any signs of losing his temper.
At dusk, the group encountered another Man-Faced Demon Spider deep in the forest!
This Man-Faced Demon Spider was slightly smaller than the previous one, with a cultivation level of about two thousand years.
Tang San was the first to rush forward and quickly dispatched the Man-Faced Demon Spider!
"Rosen! Did you see that?! I can easily deal with the Man-Faced Demon Spider too!"
Tang San felt he had finally regained his pride and sat down happily to absorb the Man-Faced Demon Spider's spirit ring.
Rosen was too lazy to argue with him, thinking that this guy's luck was really good, no wonder he had the protagonist's halo! He even encountered a second Man-Faced Demon Spider!
And after Tang San absorbed the Man-Faced Demon Spider's spirit ring, he actually obtained the Man-Faced Demon Spider's external spirit bone! This made everyone envious!
"Little San, your luck is too good! Not only did you encounter a second Man-Faced Demon Spider, but you also obtained an external spirit bone!"
Dai Mubai was genuinely envious of Tang San. Originally, the gap between him and Tang San wasn't that big, but now Tang San had suddenly surpassed him! He, the leader of Shrek Academy, was becoming less and less like a leader!
Tang San chuckled, "That's what they call 'what's meant to be will be, and what's not meant to be can't be forced!' Fighting and scrambling only to end up with a useless spirit ring—it's like shooting yourself in the foot!"
Tang San had always believed that Rosen's "Face Fruit" was a mutated, useless spirit ring! Rosen's entire spirit might even be ruined!
Rosen naturally wouldn't bother with such a trivial matter; he'd let the guy continue his petty smugness!
Now, Oscar, Xiao Wu, Tang San, and Rosen had all obtained their third spirit rings, and their mission to the Star Dou Great Forest was successfully completed!
Led by Zhao Wuji, the group began their return journey.
As night fell, Flander finally appeared. Zhao Wuji couldn't help but complain, "Dean, where were you during the day? We almost got wiped out!"
"Huh? You led the team and we got wiped out? Don't be ridiculous. Did some beast king from the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest escape?"
"You're absolutely right! We really did encounter a beast king! A Titan Giant Ape! Probably at least 100,000 years old! My attacks were like tickles to it! Luckily I ran fast, otherwise I probably wouldn't have had a chance to see you again!"
Zhao Wuji still felt lingering fear when he thought about it. Although he was already a Soul Saint, he was still far inferior to the Titan Giant Ape!
"How could a Titan Giant Ape appear on the outskirts of the forest? That doesn't make sense," Flander said, frowning.
