Chapter 63: Lucky Koi Bibi Dong, External Soul Bone Eight Spider Lances Dropped
Star Dou Great Forest.
Qian Xunji, Yun Yuan, and Bibi Dong appeared here. As for why they did not obtain the soul ring in Sunset Forest—
The reason was simple. Yun Yuan's third soul ring required hunting a ten-thousand-year soul beast. Compared to Star Dou Great Forest, Sunset Forest had far fewer ten-thousand-year soul beasts, giving Yun Yuan many fewer choices.
"Dong'er, Teacher will first help you obtain your soul ring. The soul beasts you need are mostly found in the outer regions."
"And after you obtain your soul ring, your strength will increase significantly. Entering the inner region afterward will also be safer."
As soon as they entered Star Dou Great Forest, Qian Xunji explained his plan to Bibi Dong.
Hearing this, Bibi Dong nodded, then suddenly thought of something.
"Teacher, don't forget, the soul beast I want to hunt this time must be over a thousand years old."
"Haha, of course I won't forget. Dong'er, you'll be like Xiao Yuan, obtaining a thousand-year second soul ring."
Before entering Star Dou Great Forest, Qian Xunji had already examined Bibi Dong's physical condition and determined the limit of the soul ring she could absorb.
After the effects of whale rubber and the immortal pill, Bibi Dong's physique was comparable to that of an ordinary Soul Elder. Absorbing a thousand-year soul ring naturally posed no problem.
Soon after, the three began searching in the Star Dou Great Forest for a suitable soul beast for Bibi Dong.
This search lasted an entire day before they finally found a suitable poison-attributed spider-type soul beast—the Man-Faced Demon Spider.
"Dong'er, this Man-Faced Demon Spider is quite good. Its age is close to two thousand years, perfectly at the limit you can absorb."
Looking at the ugly and grotesque Man-Faced Demon Spider not far away, a gleam flashed in Qian Xunji's eyes.
It was simply perfect for Bibi Dong—poison attribute, top-tier spider-type soul beast, and its age was right at the threshold of two thousand years.
The soul ring age Bibi Dong could absorb was around two thousand years, and this Man-Faced Demon Spider was just over one thousand nine hundred years, definitely not exceeding two thousand years.
Looking at the Man-Faced Demon Spider, Yun Yuan's thoughts drifted. His senior sister's martial soul was a spider, and she was hunting a spider. Decades later, Tang San's martial soul would be Blue Silver Grass, yet he would also hunt a Man-Faced Demon Spider.
'Yu Xiaogang… you really misled people badly. What kind of crooked theories did you teach Tang San? If one didn't know better, they might think you were a spy planted by Spirit Hall beside him.'
Shaking off his thoughts, Yun Yuan refocused on reality. Qian Xunji, beside him, had already disappeared from his original spot.
In an instant, the two-thousand-year Man-Faced Demon Spider was already on the verge of death and was brought before Bibi Dong by Qian Xunji.
A two-thousand-year Man-Faced Demon Spider was nothing more than an ant before Qian Xunji. The Rank 93 Titled Douluo crushed it effortlessly, without the slightest resistance.
"Dong'er, quickly kill it and absorb this soul ring that belongs to you."
After dealing with the Man-Faced Demon Spider, Qian Xunji looked at Bibi Dong and spoke slowly.
Hearing this, Bibi Dong nodded repeatedly like a pecking chick, a delighted smile appearing on her face. She summoned her martial soul, Death Spider Emperor, and stabbed its head with a spider lance.
Not long after, the Man-Faced Demon Spider died before Bibi Dong, and a purple soul ring rose from its corpse.
'Hehe, my second soul ring is two thousand years old. It's a thousand years higher than Junior Brother's second soul ring. I'm so happy.'
With that thought, Bibi Dong sat cross-legged. Following the same process as her first absorption, she first guided the soul ring onto herself with her soul power, then began refining the energy within it.
While Bibi Dong absorbed the soul ring, Yun Yuan and Qian Xunji stood guard beside her.
Three hours later.
Bibi Dong slowly opened her eyes, filled with joy. After sensing her condition, she jumped up excitedly.
"Junior Brother, Teacher, my soul power has reached rank 30. I can obtain my third soul ring now!"
After saying this, Bibi Dong crossed her arms and glanced at Yun Yuan, raising her chin proudly.
"Junior Brother, my soul power is now the same as yours, both rank 30. Once I obtain my third soul ring, my soul power will surpass yours. Finally, Senior Sister is ahead of you again."
Hearing this, Yun Yuan smiled slightly. Let her be proud for now. In a few days, the gap between them would return to how it was before.
At this moment, Bibi Dong's expression suddenly changed. She frowned slightly, sensing something unusual in her body and speaking in confusion:
"Junior Brother, Teacher, why does my back feel itchy? It feels like something is about to come out."
Hearing Bibi Dong's words, Yun Yuan froze for a moment and glanced at the Man-Faced Demon Spider beside her.
'Something growing from her back? Man-Faced Demon Spider? No way… Senior Sister's luck is this good?'
Thinking of how Tang San obtained the Eight Spider Lances in the original work, Yun Yuan quickly moved behind Bibi Dong and began feeling along her back.
"Junior Brother, what are you doing?!"
Bibi Dong cried out, her face flushing red as her body trembled slightly.
"Senior Sister, do as I say now. Otherwise, you'll end up like I did in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
"Control your soul power at the positions I just pointed out. I'll apply pressure from outside with my soul power."
Yun Yuan's expression was extremely serious, his voice carrying unquestionable authority. Bibi Dong did not have time to think and instinctively followed his instructions.
After a while, Bibi Dong finally came to her senses and remembered what Yun Yuan had just said—about being like him in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Wouldn't that mean…
'No! Absolutely not! I have to increase my soul power and stop that thing from coming out.'
Bibi Dong used her soul power to suppress whatever was trying to emerge from her body, while Yun Yuan applied external pressure with his soul power to keep it contained.
A few minutes later, the strange sensation on Bibi Dong's back finally disappeared.
"Junior Brother, it seems… It's fine now."
Qian Xunji, who had heard their earlier conversation, immediately understood what had happened. Something emerging from the body? Just like Yun Yuan, he instantly realized what Bibi Dong had obtained.
After confirming she was safe, he stepped forward with a pleased expression.
"Dong'er, you are truly blessed. This time, you've obtained an external soul bone."
Qian Xunji's tone carried deep envy. In his entire life, he had never even seen an external soul bone.
Yet in less than two years after taking Yun Yuan and Bibi Dong as disciples, he had already witnessed three external soul bones. He could not help but marvel at their extraordinary luck.
"External Soul Bone?"
Hearing this, Bibi Dong murmured, then her face lit up with joy. She had obtained an external soul bone, just like her Junior Brother—something whose rarity was second only to a hundred-thousand-year soul bone.
At this moment, Yun Yuan added a few words, explaining the external soul bone to Bibi Dong.
"Senior Sister, as far as I know, the external soul bone dropped from a Man-Faced Demon Spider is called the Eight Spider Lances."
