Douluo Dragon King: Nine Dragons Break the Abyss

Chapter 41: Stillborn Love

Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi were students that Shrek Academy focused on training, so Shrek naturally would not be stingy in investing in them.

They have a chance every two weeks to take the Soul Ascension Platform Trial, which is the dream of all soul masters.

The closest spirit-raising platform to Shrek City is the Spirit-Transmitting Tower headquarters.

Today happens to be their Spirit Ascension Platform Trial Day.

Xu Lizhi was also unlucky. When he landed, he was born under the nest of a human-faced demon spider.

He is unfortunate, but also lucky.

Ye Xinglan happened to be near him. Hearing Xu Lizhi's cry for help, Ye Xinglan arrived in time and rescued Xu Lizhi in great danger.

This prevented Xu Lizhi from being killed as soon as he landed.

With their current strength as first-ring soul masters, one of whom is a food-type soul master with no combat power, it is very difficult for them to fight against a top predator soul beast, the human-faced demon spider.

Ye Xinglan held the Star God Sword in his hand, his face tense and his expression very solemn.

If she were alone, she might be able to escape with her own advantages, but here, she has a companion.

What's more, the teacher who taught her to practice sword since she was a child told her that she must draw her sword when encountering an enemy, and retreat is never an option for a swordsman.

After the human-faced demon spider roared, its eight legs moved quickly and coordinatedly, and its huge body, which was two meters long, pressed towards the direction where Ye Xinglan was.

"Sister Xinglan, be careful!"

The fat boy Xu Lizhi has recovered a lot after eating a big recovery meat bun.

Seeing the human-faced demon spider pounce on Ye Xinglan, he couldn't help but feel worried.

Ye Xinglan lowered his body again, staring at the most vulnerable abdomen of the human-faced demon spider with sharp eyes.

"siu~"

The human-faced demon spider leaped high, and its two front legs turned into scimitars, slashing towards Ye Xinglan's waist and abdomen.

It wanted to tear the human in front of it who dared to stop it from eating and injured it into two halves!
Ye Xinglan suddenly exerted force with his slender and powerful waist, dodged the attack of the human-faced demon spider at an exaggerated angle, and tapped the ground with the Star God Sword in his hand. With the help of the recoil force, he advanced instead of retreating, and slashed towards the bottom of the human-faced demon spider's body.

The human-faced demon spider became even angrier when it saw that its attack missed and the opponent slipped into its blind spot.

The six spider legs under his body stabbed randomly towards his lower abdomen, but due to lack of vision, Ye Xinglan easily dodged all the attacks.

When he was about to slide out from under the human-faced demon spider, Ye Xinglan thrust the Star God Sword in his hand upwards with force. All the soul power in his body was concentrated on the sword, and the bright starlight bloomed. Even in the daytime, it was still extremely dazzling.

Feeling the pain, the beautiful face in the belly of the human-faced demon spider suddenly became extremely hideous, and a ball of poisonous spider web spewed out from the "mouth" of the human face.

This is the special skill of the human-faced demon spider, spider web binding.

Its spider web is directly sprayed out, which is not only extremely sticky but also extremely tough, and contains horrible neurotoxin.

However, such a powerful skill also has limitations and can only be used three times in a day.

The spider web spit out by the human-faced demon spider was extremely fast, and even though Ye Xinglan was prepared, he had no time to react.

She made a quick decision - to press the emergency button.

Being invaded by the spider web toxin of the human-faced demon spider, even if one is on the spirit-raising platform, one's mental strength will still suffer considerable damage after returning to reality.

This is the result of weighing the pros and cons.

The qualification for the Soul Ascension Platform is extremely rare and is of great benefit to soul masters, but it would be a loss if it delayed one's own cultivation.

Just as her finger was about to press down, something unexpected happened and she stopped abruptly.

The body of the human-faced demon spider suddenly trembled, and was knocked sideways by a terrifying force. The poisonous spider web that it spewed out was also cut into pieces by metal fragments like sharp blades. Qiangu Qitian took action, and threw the Panlong Stick like a javelin. His first soul skill, Metal Storm, was launched, cutting everything into pieces.

"Are you OK."

Qiangu Qitian came to Ye Xinglan and extended a hand towards him.

Ye Xinglan looked at Qiangu Qitian who suddenly appeared in front of him.

Seeing the other person's soft facial features, long eyelashes, and a smile as gentle as spring breeze, his eyes seemed to be filled with stars and the sea. Just a glance at him made her feel a little lost.

She subconsciously placed her hand on Qiangu Qitian's hand, and the latter exerted force and pulled Ye Xinglan up from the ground.

Xu Lizhi: ╥﹏╥

Seeing this scene, the little fat boy's heart broke quietly.

A few months ago, he first saw Ye Xinglan practicing sword in the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy. At just one glance, he was attracted by this serious girl.

But because of his martial soul, he was very fat, and his inner inferiority complex made him lack the courage to even approach Ye Xinglan.

But he soon got the chance of his life.

Under the arrangement of Shrek Academy, he formed a team with Ye Xinglan.

As a food-type soul master with innate full soul power, Xu Lizhi's own talent is even higher than Ye Xinglan. Ye Xinglan looks more like his bodyguard.

After several months of getting along, the fat boy's admiration for her became even deeper.

But now...

Xu Lizhi could only think of one word to describe the scene before him: a talented man and a beautiful woman.

Last second: Mom, I'm in love, hehe
Next moment: Mom, I’m heartbroken, woo woo
"Thank you, thank you."

Feeling the warmth coming from Qiangu Qitian's palm, Ye Xinglan's little face flushed.

Qiangu Qitian quickly let go of Ye Xinglan's little hand, his expression as usual.

The human-faced demon spider was already dying after Qiangu Qitian's "sneak attack". Half of its eight legs were broken, and Ye Xinglan had severely injured its abdomen. Green blood kept flowing out of the huge wound, and it smelled extremely foul.

"You will be the one hunting this human-faced demon spider."

Ye Xinglan said without any reluctance.

The human-faced demon spider in front of her was not something she could kill with her own strength. She had a very accurate assessment of her own strength.

The power displayed by this boy who was a few years older than her was enough to defeat not only the human-faced demon spider in front of her, but also a more powerful soul beast.

Qiangu Qitian shook his head and stretched out his right hand: "This is what we killed together, let's split it equally."

"I...I have teamed up with him. If..."

Ye Xinglan pointed at Xu Lizhi who was almost petrified and said a little embarrassedly.

The more people in a team, the less experience each person gets.

Without waiting for the other party to say anything, Qiangu Qitian directly touched his bracelet on Ye Xinglan's right bracelet, and the information of successful team formation appeared in front of the three of them.

"It's fine."

Qiangu Qitian said with a smile.

At the same time, he stretched out his right hand, clenched his fist suddenly, and the human-faced demon spider directly turned into a stream of energy.
