Douluo Continent: Heaven rewards diligence, Tang San's defenses are breached by liver damage.

Lin Chuan gripped his martial spirit tightly and eagerly stepped out of the cave.

Although he looked somewhat haggard, he was filled with excitement.

He quickly left the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, using his Observation Haki to search his surroundings, intending to find a suitable soul beast as a test subject. However, he suddenly sensed something, stopped abruptly, and leaped backward with a burst of strength.

"Oh!"

The ground where they had been standing collapsed instantly, and countless spider webs poured out from underground.

"You've come at the perfect time, that's you!"

Lin Chuan smiled wildly, and his martial spirit suddenly shone brightly, forming two streams of light that fell into his left and right hands respectively, turning into two swords.

The two knives were of different lengths, one long and one short. The long knife was three feet and three inches long and resembled a goose feather knife in shape, while the short knife was two feet and four inches long. The blade widened upwards and the tip was straight, making it look more like a shorter version of a broadsword.

The ability to change one's martial spirit was something Lin Chuan deliberately added when refining his natal weapon.

His martial spirit now has three forms: bow, dual swords, and spear.

"open!"

With a flick of his twin blades, he instantly severed all the spiderwebs.

"What a fine blade! It truly lives up to its reputation as a natal weapon incorporating the soul bones of two great dragon kings and the right palm bone of a dark gold dinosaur. It was able to easily sever the spider web of the cave demon spider without even using soul power."

Lin Chuan landed steadily, quite satisfied with the martial spirit in his hand.

The guy who launched the sneak attack also emerged from underground not far away.

It's a ten-thousand-year-old cave spider!

"Since you attacked me first, then use you to test my martial soul!"

Lin Chuan stood with his knife in both hands, then suddenly sprang up, taking four strange steps to close the distance in an instant. His speed was so fast that he became a blur.

The cave spider's sharp, long legs stabbed towards him, but Lin Chuan twisted his body to precisely dodge the attack. At the same time, as their bodies crossed, his twin blades swiftly slashed across the ground.

The faint sounds of wind and thunder echoed in the void.

"Oh!"

The cave spider's eight legs were severed simultaneously, and it slammed heavily to the ground.

Faced with Lin Chuan, who possessed the technique of doubling the force by two points, this ancient cave spider had absolutely no ability to resist.

Chapter 74 Natal Soul Weapon, Three Forms

Blood splattered all over the ground. Lin Chuan casually flicked his wrist, leaving two radiating crescent-shaped arcs.

Despite losing its legs, the cave spider continued to wriggle and struggle desperately.

"Don't worry, I'll give you a quick death!"

The two swords gleamed, then merged into one, transforming once more into a longbow.

Lin Chuan drew back the bowstring, and a soul power arrow instantly condensed.

"call out--"

A flash of white light, and the head of the cave spider was instantly pierced and exploded. Its struggling body stiffened instantly and slowly stopped moving.

The arrows continued to spread forward, destroying everything in their path.

"This power is immense, yet the energy consumption is minimal. My martial spirit seems to be able to draw upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to reduce my energy expenditure. This is truly remarkable!"

Looking at the suddenly open view in front of him, Lin Chuan immediately revealed a satisfied smile.

Moreover, the strength of a refined martial soul can increase with continuous refinement, making it a formidable natal weapon.

"Now that you've become my destined weapon, it's time to give you a name."

Lin Chuan stroked the dark blue longbow, lost in thought.

After a while, a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes.

"Let's call it Sunset Bow!"

"There are also dual swords and a spear..."

Because the Night Shadow Blade is incorporated into it, the two blades together are still called Night Shadow. The long blade is named Night, the short blade is named Shadow, and the spear is named Silver Moon!

Almost the instant he made the decision, Lin Chuan felt his natal soul weapon tremble slightly.

It seems they really like these names.

However, despite integrating three soul bones, he did not gain any soul bone skills. Instead, after being activated by soul power, the attacks of the three forms of his martial soul would be accompanied by the frost of extreme ice, the heat of extreme fire, and the sharpness of extreme gold.

"There are no Soul Bone Skills... Is it because they don't use Soul Bones as the main element? It's not a big deal."

It seemed like a loss, but Lin Chuan wasn't particularly bothered by it.

Soul skills are merely a means of output. With the various abilities Lin Chuan currently possesses, even his basic attacks are already equivalent to the power of a soul skill.

As for even more powerful martial arts techniques, one can create them entirely after mastering the mysteries of all things.

"Hehe, starting today, the strongest weapon spirit will be replaced!"

The Sunset Bow transformed into light and shadow, then into the Night Shadow Twin Blades.

Lin Chuan skillfully dismembered the cave spider. The materials from this giant spider were quite good, and they were very effective whether used for refining weapons or for making medicine.

Unfortunately, no soul bone dropped.

Returning to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, they looted all the remaining herbs.

The once thriving botanical garden is now a mess, as if it had been plowed, with only soil left and no color of plants left.

Looking at his masterpiece, Lin Chuan nodded in satisfaction.

"Luckily, the storage soul tool is big enough, otherwise I might not have been able to take all this stuff with me."

Although the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye had become bare, Lin Chuan did not go too far. He only picked all the herbs, but still left the roots and stems.

Given the unique nature of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, it is believed that it will grow back again after several decades.

Looking around, I made sure nothing was missed.

"We've been here for so long, it's time to go back!"

I never expected to stay in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire for so long.

Undoubtedly, the harvest was quite remarkable.

Rare medicinal herbs are secondary; the main purpose is to use the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire to grasp the mysteries of all things, and to refine one's natal soul weapon, thereby transforming the martial soul itself.

It's no exaggeration to say that Lin Chuan has undergone a complete transformation since he arrived at Sunset Forest.

The return journey was uneventful, and Lin Chuan returned to Tianshui Academy without incident. Looking at the familiar gate before him, he felt a strange sense of nostalgia.

"Huh? Ogawa, is that you?"

A soft call suddenly came from behind.

Looking back, a series of youthful and beautiful figures came into view, with Shui Bing'er at the head. The faces of the many girls were filled with surprise.

Lin Chuan chuckled softly, "Everyone, it's been a long time."

"It really is you! You're finally back!"

Shuiyue'er immediately moved closer, her expression suddenly turning resentful.

"Xiao Chuan, where have you been lately? You haven't been coming to class to study, and the dean hasn't told us either. Have you forgotten that you are also a member of the Tianshui team?"

"Of course I haven't forgotten, but I have my own things to do..."

Lin Chuan scratched his cheek, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Even after such a long time apart, Shuiyue'er is still so enthusiastic.

Or... you could say she's a fangirl.

This girl is obsessed with looks. After Lin Chuan joined the Tianshui team and defeated her, she immediately started pestering him, making no attempt to hide her feelings.

"Alright, Yue'er."

Shui Bing'er suddenly spoke up, helping Lin Chuan out of the predicament.

Despite being the youngest female member of the team, she behaves with remarkable maturity, making people feel that she is the older sister and Shuiyue'er is the younger sister.

"Brother Chuan, will you continue walking?"

Shui Bing'er's voice was clear and cool, with a smile on her lips, which sounded very pleasant.

The rules of the Tianshui Academy team do not consider age, but only strength. Lin Chuan was able to suppress several people in the past, so in the eyes of others, he naturally became the undisputed leader.

Only Shuiyue'er, that girl, would call him Xiaochuan so casually.

"Long time no see, Bing'er. I'll probably be staying at the academy from now on, since the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament isn't far off."

Lin Chuan gently shook his head in response.

"That's great!"
