Chapter 11 Killing.
"A human-faced demon spider with a thousand years of cultivation?! That's great, Beibei, I want this one!" Tang Ya pointed excitedly at the human-faced demon spider.
Beibei stared intently at the human-faced demon spider not far away, but he didn't share Tang Ya's excitement.
The human-faced demon spider was the pinnacle of spider-type soul beasts, its greatest strengths being its potent venom, rapid movement, and eight extremely penetrating spider legs. With his current strength, capturing this human-faced demon spider alive was almost impossible.
Wu Xuan saw the seriousness in Beibei's eyes and solemnly said, "Senior Bei! I am a control-type Soul Master. You take the lead in the attack, and I will assist you from the side."
"Okay!" Beibei's face lit up with joy, a layer of purple light shone in his eyes, and he swung his thick right arm horizontally, sending a dense barrage of lightning enveloping the human-faced demon spider.
The next moment, his first spirit ring on his right arm shone brightly. Amidst the intense fluctuations of spirit power, a dragon claw, about a foot in diameter and formed from blue-purple lightning, shot out, striking the thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider.
"First Spirit Skill, Thunder Dragon Claw!"
He wasn't one to hesitate. With Wu Xuan, a level 30 Spirit Master, assisting him, their chances of victory were high.
As a top-tier spider-type spirit beast, this human-faced demon spider naturally wouldn't sit idly by.
The moment Bei Bei launched its attack, spiderwebs shot out like lightning from its menacing mandibles, enveloping Bei Bei.
Wu Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly. It had appeared—the first of the thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider's three spiderweb attacks!
Without hesitation, Wu Xuan raised his left leg and kicked out from a distance. A pale blue whirlwind shot out at several times the speed of the spiderweb, swirling up the spiderweb sprayed by the human-faced demon spider and disappearing from everyone's sight.
"Second Soul Skill, Light Breeze!"
Wu Xuan's second purple soul ring quietly lit up. With the gentle breeze accompanying him, Bei Bei, who was charging forward, felt his body lighten, and his speed suddenly increased more than twice.
Almost in the blink of an eye, he appeared beside the Man-Faced Demon Spider. The Man-Faced Demon Spider only had time to raise its two pairs of spear-like spider legs before Bei Bei slapped it to the ground with a dragon claw.
"Hiss~!" The Man-Faced Demon Spider let out a sharp screech, looked at Bei Bei, took two steps back in fear, and then ran towards the bushes on the side.
"You think you can run away after ambushing us?" Wu Xuan chuckled. With the support of fifty percent hurricane power, his control was something that a soul beast a little over a thousand years old could not withstand.
Wu Xuan made a fist with one hand, and the rapidly flowing wind around him suddenly gathered. A powerful hurricane swept down on the charging Man-Faced Demon Spider.
"Hiss~!"
The Man-Faced Demon Spider let out a sharp screech. Its not-so-large body was suppressed by the hurricane and could not move forward an inch.
"A perfect opportunity!" With Huo Yuhao's enhanced vision, Bei Bei shouted, and the third spirit ring on his right arm lit up.
"Third Spirit Skill, Thunderous Fury!"
A deep roar suddenly erupted from Bei Bei, his entire body crackling with intense blue-purple lightning. Scales on his right arm rapidly spread across his body, covering his right chest, and his aura surged instantly.
Amidst the blue-purple lightning, a thunderous dragon claw, twice its previous size, materialized once more.
The human-faced spider struggled violently within the azure hurricane, sensing a strong aura of death emanating from Bei Bei.
All of this happened within seconds.
The hurricane dissipated, and Bei Bei's terrifying claw landed perfectly on the human-faced spider's carapace.
"Zzzzz!"
Blue-purple lightning swept across the human-faced spider's entire body, instantly inflicting severe damage and bringing it to the brink of death.
Tang Ya, recovering from the shock, glanced at the gradually weakening human-faced spider, and jumped up in joy.
"That's amazing, Junior Brother Wu Xuan! Is that your control soul skill? That's incredible!" Tang Ya leaned close to Wu Xuan, staring intently at him as he stopped.
Wu Xuan took a step back and shook his head, saying, "Senior Sister Tang Ya, you're overthinking it. This is just another way I release my martial soul."
"Another way? Junior Brother Wu Xuan, is your martial soul a wind element beast martial soul? But that doesn't make sense; your martial soul isn't attached to anything." Tang Ya was completely puzzled.
"Ahem. Alright, Xiao Ya, hurry up and absorb your soul ring. This human-faced demon spider will die soon." At this moment, Bei Bei walked over with a dark face.
Seeing Bei Bei's dark face, Tang Ya stepped forward and gave her a big hug: "Bei Bei! I feel like you've shown your true colors ever since you met Junior Brother Wu Xuan."
Tang Ya let go of Bei Bei and giggled, taking out a half-foot-long short blade from her soul tool.
She came to the dying human-faced demon spider and pierced its head with a single strike.
A purple soul ring slowly condensed, and she immediately sat down cross-legged to begin absorbing her third soul ring.
"Hehe! Little Wu Xuan, well done! You had the Man-Faced Demon Spider completely under your control throughout the entire battle, not even causing a ripple," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm praised.
"This surge in mental power has indeed made me much more at ease in battle," Wu Xuan replied.
"Okay! You cultivate well, I'm going to sleep!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm fell silent after speaking.
Looking at Wu Xuan, who was in a daze, Bei Bei felt a little jealous. Since he met Tang Ya, this was the first time Tang Ya had chased after a boy asking him so many questions.
But this thought was fleeting and quickly subsided. Wu Xuan had contributed the most to successfully hunting the Man-Faced Demon Spider's spirit ring. Without his control, he could barely defeat the Man-Faced Demon Spider, but severely injuring and capturing it would have been extremely difficult.
The speed of a single Man-Faced Demon Spider was beyond his reach, let alone its three web sprays. Although he was somewhat hypocritical and outwardly appeared refined and easygoing, he wouldn't be so petty as to fuss over such a small matter.
Absorbing a thousand-year soul ring takes a considerable amount of time, so Bei Bei scattered some medicine to repel soul beasts around the perimeter.
Their luck was pretty good; only a few ten-year and hundred-year soul beasts appeared during Tang Ya's absorption of the soul ring. After Wu Xuan killed one with a single punch, no more soul beasts dared to approach, only daring to observe from afar.
With the successful absorption of the Human-Faced Demon Spider soul ring, Tang Ya's figure became even more slender, her skin more radiant, and her aura grew stronger at an astonishing rate.
"Hmm," she let out a long breath, slowly opening her eyes. Her bright eyes shone with a sharp light, and her entire being showed a significant improvement in spirit and energy.
In the cultivation process of a soul master, level thirty is a crucial threshold. Being able to cross this threshold and enter the Soul Venerable realm makes one a true soul master powerhouse with limitless potential. Many soul masters with less talent, however, cannot break through the level thirty bottleneck even after a lifetime of effort.
"Success!" Tang Ya excitedly leaped up from the ground, three soul rings—two yellow and one purple—rapidly rising from beneath her feet. The most striking feature was undoubtedly the thousand-year-old purple spirit ring, its pale purple radiating a noble aura. From this moment on, Tang Ya's strength had completely entered another level.
Bei Bei smiled and said, "Xiao Ya, congratulations."
"Now I'll definitely have no problem completing the grade assessment to enter the fourth year." Tang Ya came to Bei Bei's side, her beautiful eyes filled with excitement.
Speaking of which, she seemed to have thought of something, her usually carefree personality showing a playful smile, "By the way, Junior Brother Wu Xuan, you haven't answered my question yet!"
Wu Xuan nodded, "My spirit is an elemental spirit, wind element control!"
"Wind element!! That's the same type of spirit as a senior in the inner courtyard, both are elemental spirits. It's just that that senior's spirit is ice element." Tang Ya said with great interest.
Bei Bei coughed knowingly and said, "Alright, Xiao Ya, now that you've finished absorbing your third spirit ring, let's leave quickly. In recent years, there have been more and more incidents of spirit masters getting into trouble in the Star Dou Great Forest. Even on the outer edges, we've seen spirit beasts like the hundred-year-old Twin Cyclops and the thousand-year-old Human-Faced Demon Spider. We'd better leave as soon as possible."
"Fine!" Tang Ya stuck out her tongue angrily, seeing Bei Bei interrupt her conversation with Wu Xuan.
