At this moment, Tang San's Flying Mushroom Sausage effect had ended, leaving him only able to rely on Purple Demon Eye (Zi Ji Mo Tong) to speed through the forest. By now he was already panting heavily from exhaustion.
Just then, Tang San heard a rustling sound. He cautiously looked over.
A black, hideous spider raised its two front legs and thrust them directly toward Tang San.This ugly black spider was precisely the Human-Faced Demon Spider (Renmian Mozhu).
To continue searching for Xiao Wu, Tang San had no choice but to face this Human-Faced Demon Spider head-on.He immediately stepped into Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track (Guiying Mizong), pulling out various hidden weapons to attack the spider.
At this time, Qian Renyue also arrived.She ordered one Soul King to guard the rear and report immediately when Zhao Wuji and the others showed up.She herself took out a recording soul device and began to record.
Seeing that his hidden weapons couldn't pierce the Human-Faced Demon Spider's chest armor, Tang San was forced to reveal his second martial soul—Clear Sky Hammer (Haotian Chui).
Hiding in the shadows, Qian Renyue's eyes lit up for a moment."So it really is you. I knew it."Deep killing intent rose in her heart as she remembered the failed Nightmare mission, her dead sister, the slain worship elders, and her pitiful mother.Her eyes gradually turned red, her right hand clenching tightly, faint lightning crackling between her fingers.
Ning Rongrong saw this and immediately understood—Tang San was the very person from her sister's nightmare.She gently grasped Qian Renyue's hand, as if telling her: no matter what you do, I will support you.
With the assistance of his Clear Sky Hammer and hidden weapons, Tang San successfully killed the Human-Faced Demon Spider.He hesitated for a moment, but thinking of the missing Xiao Wu, he finally sat cross-legged and began absorbing the spider's spirit ring.
" You two, take action now. Kill him. Then disguise the scene to make it look like you died together with the Human-Faced Demon Spider."Qian Renyue instructed the two Soul Kings beside her.
"Yes, Second Miss."Just as the two Soul Kings gathered soul power and were about to attack Tang San, a Soul Emperor rushed over.
"Second Miss, Zhao Wuji and the others are almost here. They'll arrive any moment."
"Tch, lucky brat…"Qian Renyue waved her hand."You three withdraw for now. Wait for my signal and look for another chance."
"Yes, Second Miss."
Qian Renyue then walked out with Ning Rongrong, showing a very worried expression.
She glanced at the Human-Faced Demon Spider and sneered:"With your condition this bad, you still dare absorb an over-aged spirit ring, and from such a violent beast at that. Who knows whether you'll survive."
Sensing Zhao Wuji and the others approaching, Qian Renyue immediately changed into a worried, anxious look.
With Zhao Wuji arrived the Dragon-Snake couple and their granddaughter Meng Yiran.
"Rongrong, Yueyue, how is Little San?" Zhao Wuji asked eagerly.
"Teacher Zhao, when Rongrong and I arrived, Tang San had just finished fighting the Human-Faced Demon Spider. He's absorbing his third spirit ring now."
"Good, good, that's a relief." Zhao Wuji let out a long sigh.
"Good? What's good? This guy stole my spirit beast again!"Meng Yiran shouted angrily.
"Meng Miss, why don't you say the entire Star Dou Forest belongs to your family too?"Dai Mubai retorted.
"Presumptuous!"The Dragon Duke—famous for decades—had never been spoken to like this while protecting his granddaughter.
"Mubai, don't be rude. This is Dragon Duke senior.Senior, I, the Motionless Bright King Zhao Wuji, have long admired your name."Zhao Wuji quickly approached with a smile.
Dragon Duke Meng Shu snorted lightly."Motionless Bright King, no need for etiquette.You teach fine students indeed—bullying our Meng family?The Phoenix-Tail Crest Serpent I can ignore, but now your student killed the Human-Faced Demon Spider my granddaughter hunted.Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
Zhao Wuji said:"Senior, I think there must be a misunderstanding.And although I am a teacher, Tang San technically isn't my disciple. He has another master—I can't claim that honor."
"Oh?"Meng Shu paused, startled.He silently thought: That boy's strength is monstrous for his age. If his teacher isn't Zhao Wuji… then…
Zhao Wuji, extremely shrewd, immediately saw the hesitation on Meng Shu's face and whispered:"Senior Dragon Duke, may I speak privately?"
Qian Renyue saw the two walk aside and secretly signaled the three people hiding in the shadows.
Zhao Wuji calmly said to Meng Shu:"Senior, do you know who Tang San's father is?This child is not someone you can touch today."
Meng Shu frowned impatiently."Oh? Then enlighten me."
Zhao Wuji spoke seriously:"His father is the titled Douluo… Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao."
Meng Shu's face changed drastically."Zhao Wuji, you aren't lying to me just because he's surnamed Tang, right?"
"To tell the truth, when Tang San first enrolled, I suppressed him with soul power and bullied him.That same night Tang Hao came to my dorm and beat me up.Honestly, the wounds still hurt."
Meng Shu fell silent for a moment, then finally let it go.Even as the Dragon-Snake couple, they absolutely dared not provoke the Clear Sky Douluo.
He returned to his wife and granddaughter, whispering a few words.Snake Granny also showed a shocked expression.Their gazes toward Tang San completely changed—all of which, of course, fell into Qian Renyue's eyes.
What did Zhao Wuji tell them? That Tang San is Yu Xiaogang's disciple? No… that trash wouldn't scare the Dragon-Snake couple.It must be Tang Hao.If he is Clear Sky Douluo's son, then yes, they wouldn't dare offend him.
While Qian Renyue was pondering, one of her hidden guards—a Soul Emperor skilled at stealth—quietly crept close while everyone was distracted, listening in.He then used Sound Thread Transmission to relay everything word for word to Qian Renyue.
Qian Renyue sneered inwardly:So it really is Tang Hao's son. Tang San… I won't let you bully my sister again.
The Dragon-Snake couple finally withdrew with Meng Yiran.
However, even after they left, the Shrek group still looked tense, because Tang San's figure could no longer be seen.His entire body was enveloped in a mist of blood.
Tang San's brows were tightly locked, his lips bitten so hard they bled, his whole body trembling violently.Blood was constantly seeping from his skin—showing the intense pain he was enduring.
Dai Mubai whispered anxiously:"Teacher Zhao, if this continues, Tang San might be in danger."
Zhao Wuji frowned deeply."I know. But right now, we cannot interrupt him."He then turned to Qian Renyue:"Rongrong, Yueyue—can your martial soul help Little San?"
Qian Renyue knew she could no longer sit still.If she refused now, Zhao Wuji would not let her off easily.Her only protectors here were three Soul Emperors in the shadows—no match for Zhao Wuji.
"I don't know. I'll try."She released her martial soul.
"Second Soul Skill—Angel Halo (Tianshi Guanghuan)."
With the activation of her second ring, Tang San's injuries healed visibly, and some soul power returned, aiding him in absorbing the spirit ring.
Just when everyone finally relaxed—
A cautious footstep caught Zhao Wuji's attention.
"Who?"Zhao Wuji's cold eyes shot toward a bush, soul power instantly surged.Tang San was at the most critical moment—no one could be allowed near.
"Teacher Zhao!"A slender figure ran out of the woods.
It was—Xiao Wu.
Everyone froze.
"Ge!"Xiao Wu rushed toward the meditating Tang San.
"Xiao Wu, how did you escape the Titan Giant Ape?" Zhao Wuji quickly asked once he saw Tang San was no longer in danger.
Xiao Wu blinked, then lowered her head slightly."I… don't really know.It grabbed me and ran deep into the forest.But not long after, a loud roar—like a cow—came from somewhere.The Titan Giant Ape suddenly got nervous.It looked at me, threw me aside, and ran."
"A cow's roar? What kind of cow could scare the Titan Giant Ape?What happened afterward?" Zhao Wuji frowned.
Xiao Wu shivered a little, fear flashing in her eyes."After it threw me, it roared once before leaving.I felt dizzy and fainted.When I woke up, it was gone.The whole area was terrifying—dozens of spirit beasts fainted, weaker ones bled from their noses and mouths.I don't know if it was lucky or unlucky… but somehow my spirit power broke through to level 30.I found a suitable beast nearby and absorbed my third spirit ring."
Everyone congratulated her on becoming a Spirit Elder.
Qian Renyue observed Xiao Wu closely.She felt Xiao Wu was lying—yet every detail she gave matched the descriptions written in Spirit Hall records.If one hadn't personally experienced it, it would be impossible to describe it so accurately.
"Xiao Wu…" Qian Renyue murmured inwardly, "interesting."
Finally, after enduring tremendous pain, Tang San successfully absorbed the Human-Faced Demon Spider's spirit ring.
Just when everyone thought he would wake up—
"Aaaa—!!"Tang San suddenly screamed, his body convulsing violently.
His back arched sharply, his upper body bending unnaturally.
Right then—Tang San's back exploded outward, eight fist-sized bulges appearing on either side of his spine.They ruptured instantly—yet strangely, his skin did not tear.Instead, eight deep-purple limbs burst out, growing rapidly.
In moments, they were over a meter long—and still extending.
When they reached 1.5 meters, joints began forming near the ends, and the limbs bent outward at new angles, continuing to grow.
They finally stopped growing past three meters, glowing with a dark purple sheen.Thickest near Tang San's back, thinner toward the tips—sharp like blades.
Ma Hongjun, curious, reached out to touch one—Qian Renyue kicked him away.
"Rongrong, Yueyue—what are you doing?!" Ma Hongjun shouted angrily.
"Saving your life.These are External Spirit Bones from the Human-Faced Demon Spider.Just like the spider itself, they are highly poisonous.Touch it if you want to die."Qian Renyue looked at the External Spirit Bone with clear envy.This was a treasure everyone dreamed of obtaining.
"External Spirit Bone?" Everyone exclaimed.
"Yes.Look it up in books if you don't know.I suggest Tang San retract them quickly, and we leave immediately.Even if the Titan Giant Ape doesn't return, if the Dragon-Snake couple comes back and sees this External Spirit Bone,no matter what Teacher Zhao said earlier—none of us will leave this forest alive today."
"She's right.We're leaving—now.Little San, can you retract your External Spirit Bone?"Zhao Wuji fully agreed.This trip to Star Dou Forest had been far too dangerous.
They finally exited the Star Dou Forest.
Outside, though the air was no longer as fresh, everyone felt as though a great weight had been lifted from their shoulders.
"We'll hurry a bit more and reach the town soon. We can rest there." Zhao Wuji said.
Dai Mubai laughed:"As long as everyone is fine, when we reach the town, drinks are on me!Teacher Zhao, no refusing. If it weren't for you, none of us would've made it out alive."
The group rested for an entire day in the small town.
Qian Renyue watched everyone laughing and playing around, a bit emotional.Surviving life-and-death battles had brought them closer.
But she knew she could not stay here.Next time…they might meet as enemies.
